I don't own Mortal Kombat!

This is not the way that I thought I would turn out to be

Tried to give but all that I got was more insanity

Broken everything that I touch

It's gone against me

I can't get away

From the fire that burns inside, consuming

I fight to stay alive but

I can't breathe

The voices scream

The enemy takes over everything

This is the madness in me

Song: Madness In me

Family Reunion

Sonya held her gun aimed at Cassie. Jacqui, Takeda, and Kung Jin, now free, looked at the two women in worry and shock. Jacqui looked back over at Takeda, remembering he was seriously injured.

''Takeda'' she said, her voice but a whisper.

He looked back at her, but didn't say anything.

''You're hurt, we have to get you back to Earth Realm'' she said calmly.

Takeda shook his head and looked away.

''Takeda'' Jacqui said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Takeda quickly shrugged it off, before replying ''I'm fine''

''No, you're not, we need to get you back to Earth Realm'' Jacqui said sternly but calmly.

Knowing that he couldn't win against Jacqui at a time like this, he sighed.

''Fine, but you stay here'' he replied.

Jacqui's expression saddened.

''Why?'' she asked him, searching for a reason she would have to go with him. She just couldn't bear to fight Cassie anymore.

''They might need you if things get ugly'' Takeda responded.

Jacqui sighed, but nodded. Takeda walked through the portal and back to Earth Realm. Jacqui lost herself in thought, but a loud Bang! Caught her attention.

Her head snapped back to Sonya and Cassie. Cassie was glowing green and, once again, Sonya's gun was smoking. Jacqui gasped, but saw Cassie was not harmed.

For all of them, that was a relief and a disappointment. Relief for the fact she wasn't harmed and disappointment because, even though she was their friend, at the same time, she was just another enemy they needed to take down,

''Attack!'' Sonya's voice boomed.

Everybody, all except Jacqui, charged to attack. Jacqui herself could feel how hard this must be for Sonya. Losing your own daughter, then having her return to life in a revenant form, and to top it all off, having to fight her.

Sonya was the first to attack. She used her blasters to hit Cassie. It proved futile, considering Cassie deflected it with her Shadow Energy. Cassie smiled evilly and stopped glowing green. Sonya decided to attack upfront as she ran forward to punch her.

Cassie blocked the punch and kicked Sonya in the stomach. Sonya stumbled back, but recovered quickly. The other Special Forces soldiers ran forward, holding up their guns. One of them shot. Just as it was about to hit Cassie's head, she ducked. Being in revenant from seemed to increase her abilities, including speed.

Cassie's resumed her glowing form. All the other soldiers shot at her, only to have their bullets deflected. As soon as they stopped, Cassie stopped glowing and ran forward. She grabbed one of the guard's heads, her hands on either side. She lifted up her knee and slammed his head down on it. Then, she dropped her knee, and slammed his head on the ground, knocking him out cold. A guard charged her. Cassie slid under his legs, making him lose his balance and fall.

Another guard ran at her, but Cassie punched a hole through his head. She turned around and dropped into a spilt. She brought her fist up and punched a soldier in his private area. She stood up and did a spin kick, hitting him in the stomach.

She then punched another soldier in the stomach.

''Allow me to show you how to slow down a heart'' she said murderously.

She ran up to the last guard she had hit and held her hand in a karate-chop position. She hit the tips of her fingers hard against the front of his neck. A gasp was drawn from him as he fell to the ground, dead.

''Until it stops'' Cassie said, watching as another guard ran up to see if he had a pulse.

She quickly grew tired of watching him and held out her hands. A wave of green energy blew both the soldiers into the other surrounding soldiers. All except Sonya.

Demons came down from the red sky, landing next to Cassie. Cassie spoke in a demon language and the demons dispersed, going off to deal with the rest of the Special Forces soldiers.

''Well, mother, it looks like it's just you and me now'' Cassie said menacingly.

Sonya's eyes flashed with sadness, but it quickly disappeared. Her face held a look of anger, but otherwise, it was emotionless.

''Don't call me that'' she said. ''You said yourself, you are not the real Cassie''

''But, I'm all that remains'' Cassie said darkly.

That caught Sonya for a second. 'All that remains' it repeated itself in her head. She shook it off and got in her fighting stance. Cassie smiled and ran forward, as did Sonya. Cassie punched Sonya in the jaw, but Sonya kicked her in the stomach.

Cassie stumbled back, but recovered. She took out her guns and aimed at Sonya. She shot, but Sonya quickly got out of they way. Sonya used her blasters to knock the gun out of Cassie's hand. It landed a few feet away from her.

Cassie looked at the gun and back at Sonya. She glowed green, but nothing else happened. Sonya narrowed her eyes suspiciously and remained in place, would Cassie try to pull something.

Cassie's glow became brighter and brighter.

''Bye, mother'' she said, before the light exploded.

Sonya and everyone else was blown back. Everything was destroyed and torn down, engulfed in green flames.

When the wave of energy was over, Cassie remained at the center of it all.

She looked around at the devastating damage she had caused and smiled. The demons had flown into the air moments before, and were safe.

Shinnok appeared by Cassie.

''Well done'' he said.

Cassie nodded solemnly.

''Yes, Lord Shinnok'' she responded absent mindedly.

She started to glow green again. Shinnok looked at her, confused. Suddenly, Cassie quickly turned around and punched the fallen Elder God in the jaw.

Shinnok stumbled back and the demons screeched. He shook his head.

Cassie looked down at herself, a look of confusion on her face. She stopped glowing and looked at Shinnok.

''Restrain her'' Shinnok ordered the demons.

They screeched in response and grabbed Cassie's arms. She struggled against them. Shinnok walked towards her and flicked his wrist.

Cassie was knocked out, but before she went out completely she whispered something.

''You'll pay''

Earth Realm

Sonya and the rest of the guards who were still alive, stepped through the portal. Jacqui and Kung Jin followed. All of them shared one thing in common. They were all bruised and bleeding.

They stepped into the Special Forces base. Jacqui split from them to find Takeda. The first place she checked was the small clinical room. She didn't find him there. She went to his room and knocked on the door. There was no response.

''Takeda?'' she called, pushing the door open.

She found the room empty, to her disappointment. She sighed and stepped back into the hallway, closing the door behind her. She wandered the base, before an idea of where he was came to mind. Jacqui made her way to the Cassie's room. Jacqui knew that both Cassie and Takeda had feelings towards each other. If complimented by each other, they'd blush like crazy. Although, they'd both try to hide it. Cassie would often give him a hug, which he'd return. She always knew ways to calm him down, in any circumstance. Cassie would often tease him, all the while flirting.

Although they had never tied the knot, or not yet, most people knew, and approved. Most people thought Jacqui would be jealous, probably because Takeda was the only non-gay guy on the team. They thought she was jealous, but truthfully, she wasn't. She was the opposite. She was happy for her friend. Jacqui would often tease Cassie about it. Usually Cassie would deny her feelings for Takeda. But, if she was dazed enough by him, she'd confess. Takeda was the same, teased by Kung Jin.

Jacqui arrived at Cassie's room and hesitantly raised her hand to knock. She drew it back and instead just opened the door. When the door was fully opened, she saw Takeda sitting on her bed. Jacqui sighed and walked over to him.

''Takeda…'' she said calmly.

Takeda paid her no mind, and kept his eyes trained on something in his hand. It was a photo, a little worn around the edges. Jacqui gasped, seeing what he was looking at. The photo was of him and Cassie. Takeda sighed.

''Takeda, we'll get her back''

With Sonya

Sonya sat at her desk, the images of what had currently happened replaying themselves in her head, as if tormenting her. She sighed. A knock came at her door. Sonya didn't say anything. The door opened, revealing her ex husband, Johnny Cage.

''What do you want!'' Sonya snapped at him.

Johnny put his hands up in defense and slowly walked over to her. Sonya sighed again and put her head in her hands.

''We will get her back Sonya'' Johnny said firmly, putting a hand on Sonya's shoulder.

Sonya aid nothing for a moment. But, she turned to him slowly, lifting her head up. Without warning, she hugged him and cried. Johnny put his hands around her, returning the hug.

''We will get her back'' he kept repeating as Sonya continued to cry.

Sonya stopped crying and looked up, nodding.

''Then let's go''

The Nether Realm

Cassie's arms were chained above her head and she was unconscious . Two demons with orange glowing eyes and cracks in their body, both with wings, stood guarding her. Soon, Shinnok walked up to them. He dismissed him with a wave of his hand. Then he walked up to Cassie. He waved his hand again and she woke up.

''It seems that a few pieces of your former self still remain. Still intact'' he said.

Cassie looked up at him, her orange glowing eyes spelling out death itself.

''It's time to get rid of Cassandra Cage'' Shinnok said, lifting up his hand.

Cassie began to struggle.

''Fuck you…son of a bitch'' she said weakly.

''I agree'' a voice said.

Shinnok looked up, stopping what he was doing. Cassie stopped struggling and looked up. Sonya and Johnny, along with Kung Jin, Jacqui, and Takeda.

''Give me back my daughter!'' Sonya yelled at him.

''Alright'' he said, using his magic to break Cassie's chains.

He waved his hands once more and Cassie flinched.

She ran forward to attack her friends and family.

''Hello again, Sonya'' she said menacingly. She looked over at Johnny. ''Hello, father''

Takeda was the first to attack. He pulled out his whips, but Cassie dodged them. She ran up to him and grabbed his head, slamming it down on her knee. Before she let go of him, she kneed him in the stomach and head butted him. Takeda landed on the ground, trying to recover.

Cassie glowed green, blocking a punch from Jacqui. Then she ducked when Sonya tried to punch her. She then jumped up and kicked them both. Kung Jin shot an arrow at her. Cassie caught it in her hand and broke it in half. She ran towards him as he shot more arrows. She dodged them all, either by moving out of the way, or flipping to avoid them.

''The telepath, gauntlets, and the archer'' Cassie said, grabbing Kung Jin's throat, stopping her glow.

Kung Jin dropped his bow when Cassie picked him up by his neck.

''But what are you when I take away your bow and arrows?'' Cassie said evilly.

Kung Jin gasped for breath. Cassie laughed at his futile attempt for survival. Suddenly, her hand was shot with a blast of blue energy. She hissed in pain and dropped Kung Jin. He landed on the ground, holding his throat and gasping for air. Cassie's head snapped to look at her attacker.

''Aw, Jacqui Briggs'' she said.

Her hand was burnt. But the burn marks soon faded away. She glared daggers at Jacqui and puled out her guns. She aimed at Jacqui and pulled the trigger. Jacqui gasped and dove out of the way. Cassie walked up to Jacqui.

Jacqui stood up. Cassie delivered a powerful blow to Jacqui's jaw. Jacqui stumbled backwards. Before Cassie had the chance to attack again, she was hit from behind.

Cassie's looked up from her spot on the ground. She saw her father, Johnny Cage. She glowed green with rage and fury. Johnny took it as a warning and glowed green as well. The others raced up to help, having recovered from any recent hits. Johnny signaled them back.

''Cassie, we can help you'' he said.

Sonya raised an eyebrow. This was basically the first time he had taken anything seriously.

''I don't need help'' Cassie said, her glow becoming brighter with each word.

Little did any of them know, before the battle had begun, not only had Shinnok put her under his control, he had given her enhanced and new powers.

Cassie held her hand out towards Takeda and Jacqui, who glowed green. Cassie moved her hand and they flew over to her. They landed next to her on the ground, groaning. Cassie smiled down at them evilly. She held her hands towards them. Green light came from them. The green light found it's way into Takeda and Jacqui. They started to glow green as well. They stood up next to Cassie, an emotionless expression on both of their faces.

''Attack!'' Cassie ordered.

Jacqui and Takeda ran forward to attack Sonya and Kung Jin, leaving Cassie to deal with Johnny.
