I don't own Mortal Kombat!
Thanks for the reviews everyone!
Revenant
Everyone looked at Cassie, a look of shock on their faces. This was not the Cassie they once knew and loved. Her veins glowed a bright orange, as did her eyes. Her skin was a pale grey color. Everyone stayed still, unsure of how to approach her. Cassie's orange, glowing eyes narrowed as she inspected her surroundings. She walked over to stand by Shinnok.
''Cassie…'' Takeda said quietly, with nothing else he could manage to say.
Cassie's head snapped towards Takeda. She gave him a look of anger, but one that said she didn't know him. Takeda felt his heart break.
''Well, aren't you happy to see her?'' Shinnok asked, signaling towards Cassie.
''Son of a bitch!'' Sonya yelled at him, running forward to attack.
Cassie immediately retaliated. She held out her hands, a green wave of energy throwing Sonya back.
Sonya looked up at Cassie in shock and sadness.
''You're not going to touch him'' Cassie said, her voice changed.
Her voice now sounded robotic, as if it were echoing or glitching. A/N: That's how revenants sound, but if you don't know what I'm talking about, search it up.
This broke Takeda's heart even further. He scanned her mind, searching for any memories of the real Cassie. He found none. Cassie's mind was completely brainwashed into obeying and serving Shinnok. Before he could go deeper to find out anything else, he was pushed out by a strong force.
Takeda's hand shot to his head as he looked at Cassie. Cassie stared back at him, her face devoid of any emotion.
''Trying to gain access to my mind, telepath?'' she asked him, her fists glowing green.
Suddenly, all the other revenants appeared, consisting of Liu Kang, Smoke, Kung Lao, Kitana, and Sindel. They walked to stand alongside Cassie.
''Hold them back'' Shinnok commanded as Cassie stepped backwards to join him.
A green portal opened. Shinnok and Cassie walked through it, leaving Quan Chi and the rest of the revenants to fight off the Special Forces. Takeda quickly got past them and through the portal before it shut, leaving the rest of the Special Forces to deal with the revenants.
With Cassie
Cassie and Shinnok appeared back in the Nether Realm, ready to amass their forces. A noise coming from the portal alerted Cassie and she turned back towards it.
''What is it?'' Shinnok asked.
Right after he did asked this, Takeda stumbled through the portal.
''The telepath. I'll deal with him, Lord Shinnok'' Cassie reassured him.
Shinnok nodded and turned back around, walking away.
''Cassie'' Takeda said, hoping to trigger a memory.
''Cassandra Cage is dead'' Cassie responded.
Sadness spelled itself out on Takeda's face. Cassie held up her fists as they glowed green.
''Lord Shinnok will have use for you, as soon as you're dead'' she said.
With one last emotionless look, she shadow kicked him in the chest. Takeda fell back, unaware that she possessed such energy. At first, when she'd hit Sonya, he thought it was just Shinnok's powers. Now he knew it wasn't. Although he'd always known that she was different, he didn't think she had such powers.
Lost momentarily in his train of thought, Cassie was able to drop into a split and punch him in his lower region, after he got up.
'And, yet, she still has her original moves' Takeda thought, trying to ignore the pain from her last hit.
Cassie punched him in his stomach, her fist glowing green still. With her Shadow Energy, the punch hurt way more then it would've originally. She then kicked his legs out from underneath him. He fell back and Cassie jumped on top of him.
She held up her green glowing fists and punched him multiple times in the face. She then jumped off, waiting for him to get up. He quickly recovered and got up, getting back in his fighting stance. He took out his whips and swung them at Cassie. She immediately started to glow green. When the whips hit, they inflicted no damage.
''Foolish mortal'' she spat.
She grabbed the whips since Takeda had no chance to retract them yet. She yanked on both, causing Takeda to fly towards her. She dropped the whips and punched him in the face and stomach on impact. She then stopped glowing green and looked down at him.
''If this is the best Earth Realm has to offer, it will be too easy to conquer'' Cassie said darkly.
Takeda looked back up at her, his nose bleeding. He tried to get back up, only for Cassie to kick him in the chest and put him back down. She took out her guns and aimed at Takeda.
Suddenly, a portal opened to their right. The rest of the Special Forces Unit, consisting only of Kung Jin and Jacqui for the moment, stepped through.
''Cassie stop!'' Jacqui yelled.
Cassie paid her no mind, looking back down at Takeda. Jacqui took one step forward, only to be stopped by Cassie.
''One more step and I'll shoot'' she warned.
Jacqui stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes widening.
''Please don't do this'' she pleaded.
Cassie's eyes remained fixed on Jacqui, her gun still aimed at Takeda. She held up her other gun and aimed at Jacqui. Right as she was about to shoot Jacqui, Kung Jin shot an arrow. It went through Cassie's hand and she hissed in pain, dropping her gun.
After shooting Kung Jin an angry look, she ripped the arrow out of her hand. Jacqui looked at Kung Jin, a look of shock and anger playing out on her face. Jacqui also looked ever so slightly disgusted, along with Kung Jin, as the hole in Cassie's hand mended itself together. The last straw was gone as Cassie pulled the trigger on the other gun aimed at Takeda. The bullet impaled him in the chest. Then she kicked him in the head, causing him to fall backwards.
Kung Jin ran over and helped Takeda up, while Jacqui stared in utter shock. She shook it off, knowing that Takeda would be alright, and ran forward to attack Cassie. Cassie, who sensed the on coming attack, step sided Jacqui's punch. Cassie kicked her in the chest and punched her in the jaw. Jacqui stumbled backwards, but recovered from the blow quickly. She held up her fist, readying herself for a punch. Right as she did, Cassie's body glowed green. Jacqui fist collided with Cassie's chest, but inflicted no damage. Jacqui yanked her hand back towards her body, shaking it.
''Man, what did Shinnok do? Put titanium inside you?'' Jacqui asked, clutching her hand to her chest.
''He's shown me what I'm capable of'' Cassie stated, punching Jacqui in the nose.
''What devastating destruction I can cause'' she continued, kicking Jacqui in the stomach.
''No…'' Jacqui said weakly, her nose dripping blood unto the ground. ''He's made you into a servant… a weapon''
''He rescued me from the fate you sentenced me to!'' Cassie yelled, giving Jacqui an uppercut.
''What are you talking about? He killed you!'' Jacqui tried to reason with her.
''And all Takeda did was watch me die!'' Cassie yelled back, kneeing Jacqui in the chin.
Jacqui stumbled back, but something in Cassie's response caught her.
''Wait… you… you remember him?'' she asked shakily, wiping away blood and dodging a punch.
Cassie didn't respond. She kept on fighting. It registered in Jacqui's mind that if she did remember them, then some pieces of the real Cassie could still remain. That there could still be a chance to save her.
''Jin, let's go!'' Jacqui called out to him, performing a back flip to dodge Cassie's kick.
A green portal opened. Kung Jin held an arm around Takeda, giving him the support he needed to walk. They stood in front of the portal, looking back to make sure Jacqui was coming. Jacqui was trying to dodge all of Cassie's hits and make it to the portal at the same time. When Cassie was unprepared, Jacqui was able to punch her in the jaw.
Cassie stumbled back, trying to recover. Jacqui quickly ran over to the portal to join Takeda and Kung Jin. Cassie looked up, narrowing her glowing eyes and spitting out some blood.
''I don't think so'' she said, pulling something from her belt.
Before the rest of the Special Forces Unit could make it through the portal, circles of green energy encased them, preventing them from going through. Cassie smiled evilly and walked up to them.
''Let's finish this, shall we?'' she asked, walking in front of them, Shinnok's amulet in hand.
She walked up to Takeda and stroked under his chin. Then she stepped back and held the amulet in front of her. It started to glow, then a stream of red and orange energy hit Takeda with the force of a tornado.
Takeda struggled and cried out in pain. He could feel his life force being drained. When he was sure he was about to die, the flow of energy stopped and he could hear his teammates gasp, as well as a loud bang.
Takeda opened his eyes and looked up. A small fraction of the Special Forces army was there, with Sonya leading them.
The amulet had been knocked out of Cassie's hand, and it lay on the ground a few feet away from her. Cassie herself was clutching her hand to her chest. She looked at Sonya angrily. Sonya held a gun in her hand, which was smoking and aimed at Cassie.
Cassie let go of her hand, which was dripping blood. The small hole mended itself together and a small, black bullet fell to the ground.
''Sonya Blade'' she said, smiling. ''What a pleasant surprise''
