Chapter 3
The next day had awoken Sonya on the beach. She had passed out from exhaustion, trying to master the spear that Scorpion had taught her. She was going to continue to get the hang of the spear, until she remebered that Johnny and Liu were going to fight today. Their fight would follow the battle between her arch-rival Kano and Sub-Zero.
She had headed to Shang Tsung's courtyard since that was the spot for the fight between the thug and the assassin.
When Sonya arrived, she noticed that something was off about Kano who stood in the middle of the courtyard. She couldn't put her finger on it. The blonde had other things on her mind as she felt a chill run down her spine. Sonya had followed the chill and saw who she thought was Scorpion, until she saw the color of his clothing.
The man was wearing an blue and black ninja outfit. A memory of what Scorpion had said to her came back to Sonya's mind.
"Beware of Sub-Zero, He wears the same clothing as me, but his is blue as the color of water." Scorpion had told her.
Sonya then remembered what Scorpion told her. How Sub-Zero was cold-blooded. The fact that Sub-Zero would kill her without mercy, if she fought him.
Sonya, Liu Kang and Johnny Cage had joined the crowd who was ready to watch a match that hoped to be a good fight.
"Fight!!" Shang ordered as the match between Kano and the Lin Kuel assassin began.
The Black Dragon thug had charged forward with his Butterfly knifes. Sub-Zero had dodged the attack rather easily and knocked the weapons out of the thug's hands.
From there, the match was hand to hand. However, the match had been all Sub-Zero. The ice ninja was just toying with Kano, hoping to enjoy himself before he ended the fight. To his disappointment, Sub-Zero was bored of fighting his opponent, so he decided to end it.
After blocking three punches and six kicks, Sub-Zero landed an ten hit combo to the head and body, ending in the heart. The match was over, Sub-Zero was victorious.
Kano had rosed to his feet, staggering to stand up. "FINISH HIM!!" Shang Tsung ordered.
Sub-Zero had no problem in finishing the man in front of him. The Lin Kuel warrior had summoned his power of ice to freeze Kano solid. He then walked over to his defeated opponent and delivered a powerful uppercut, which destroyed the human block of ice upon impact.
The head of Kano had landed at Shang's feet. The sorcerer picked it up and held it in his hands as he looked over and saw Sub-Zero raise his hand in victory. "Sub-Zero wins!" He said. "Fatality!" Tsung added with sick smile.
Sonya headed back to the beach, sick to her stomach. She had just seen her rival killed in cold blood. She couldn't believe that Sub-Zero had no problem about killing someone.
"Feeling uneasy, Sonya?" an voice asked the blonde military officer. She turned back to see the specter, Scorpion staring out into the ocean.
"He killed Kano, He already won the match." Sonya said. "Why couldn't he just spare Kano?" She asked as she stood to look Scorpion in the eyes.
"It's how that Lin Kuel warrior works and fights." Scorpion replied. "He doesn't show mercy even if his opponent is an man, woman or child, he will kill his opponent." He added. "Now I know that I will face Sub-Zero tomorrow." The Specter said as he started to walk away.
"Be careful." Sonya said in an worried tone.
Scorpion said nothing, but turned to face Sonya. He gave the woman a modest bow of respect stating that he understood what she had said.
Later in the day, Johnny and Liu had their match. Both were honorable warriors. So they were going to give their all and hold nothing back.
The match began after the two warriors had bowed to each other. Johnny began by throwing two punches to Liu's head, which he blocked. Cage then threw another punch, but this was be an distraction. It worked as Liu blocked that punch, but not the roundhouse kick to the head that followed.
The kick had staggered Liu enough for Johnny to get an seven hit combo to Kang's head. When Johnny went for an eighth hit, Liu caught his hand and delivered an three hit kick to the movie star's mid section.
Shang Tsung sat on his throne-like chair enjoying the back and forth fight. To him, Liu Kang and Johnny Cage pounding each other to bits was the best entertainment he had seen all day.
The fight got more intense when Johnny and Liu began to do roundhouse kicks to fool each other. After the fifth roudhouse, Liu had faked another to make Johnny try another roundhouse. The shaolin monk had decided to sweep Johnny's feet from under him.
Johnny had got up just in time to see Liu throwing an punch aimed for his head. The movie star blocked the punch and delivered three punches of his own to Liu's mid section.
Johnny then tried to delivered his patented 'Shadow Kick' attack. The attack was aimed at the shaolin monk's body, which Liu Kang dodged with ease.
Seeing an chance to take the match, Liu rushed in and proformed an nine hit combo to Johnny's head and mid section. Kang ended the match with an uppercut that knocked Cage out.
"Finish Him!" Shang Tsung commanded as he stood up. To him, the match was over, All Liu had to do was deliever the final blow.
"I refuse." Liu Kang said as he walked away. As an shaolin monk, Liu Kang had no interest in taking another person's life, unless it was needed.
"Liu Kang wins!" Tsung said. Shang didn't get angered at Kang's actions. He knew exactly what Kang was in for, now that the monk was the next opponent for the reigning grand champion of Mortal Kombat, Prince Goro.
