I don't own Mortal Kombat!
Everyone has told me that they wanted to see Cassie vs. Johnny. I had originally planned to do that anyway, but this chapter goes out to all of you!
Like Father, Like Daughter
Cassie ran forward to attack Johnny. Seeing what his own daughter had become broke Johnny's heart. A revenant, a servant of Shinnok. When Johnny had heard that Shinnok was manipulating Cassie, he had planned to go to Out World and beat the living hell out of him. Before he had the chance to do so, he was stopped. Prevented by orders of the General, his ex wife, Sonya Blade.
And this is where it landed him.
Cassie, like Johnny, had the gift of Shadow Energy, which could block just about any hit. But Shinnok, being the son of a bitch that he was, enhanced her abilities after killing her, as well as giving her new powers.
Both Johnny and Cassie were glowing green, giving this battle the guarantee that it would last a while.
Being lost in thought momentarily, Cassie gained the upper hand and was able to land a punch to the jaw. Johnny stumbled backwards, snapping back to reality. Since Cassie had the gift of Shadow Energy, it did hurt Johnny, even thought he was glowing green as well.
''I expected more from you, father.'' Cassie mocked him.
Johnny grew angry. Not really at Cassie, but that single comment only fueled his anger towards Shinnok.
Cassie dropped into a quick split and punched her father in the private area. She took out her guns and banged them on either side of his head. She then followed through by turning her guns around and shooting them in his eyes sockets. Johnny fell back, but quickly got up. Due to his Shadow Energy, the bullets hardly did any damage. He got back up and performed a backflip to avoid a Shadow kick from Cassie.
Cassie then swept his legs out from underneath him. When Johnny hit the ground, Cassie quickly jumped on top of him. She punched him multiple times in the jaw and the nose. Then she pulled out her guns and shot him in the head. His Shadow Energy blocked out some of the bullet, but some of it did make it into his head. From the previous hits, his energy was weakened. But, thanks to Shinnok, Cassie's energy was never weakened, never failing.
''I feel you're Shadow Energy is weakening, father.'' Cassie smiled evilly.
''Breakin' your old man's heart'' Johnny said, kicking Cassie off of him.
She landed a few feet away, but recovered quickly. The angrier she became, the brighter her glow became.
''You're going to wish you hadn't done that'' Cassie said venomously. ''It's best to just welcome your death, you've no chance of survival, none of you do.''
Cassie shot a stream of green energy towards Johnny. He hadn't expected any powers like that, but he dove out of the way.
''Impressive. But I doubt you can dodge this.'' Cassie said as a blast of green energy came forward and hit everything in front of her.
The explosion was pretty loud, grabbing the attention of Sonya and Kung Jin, as well as Takeda and Jacqui. They looked towards the ruins to see almost everything engulfed in green flames. And there, among the ruins and debris, laid Johnny, his green glow gone.
What shocked Sonya the most was that Cassie was laughing. Not just any laugh, but one that spelled out evil. And Cassie's glow was still there, never faltering. Jacqui and Takeda ran over to join Cassie, each standing on either side of her. In a marking that they were under Cassie's influence, their bodies and eyes were glowing green.
''Cassie'' Jacqui began, her voice altered. It now sounded just like Cassie's.
Cassie swiftly turned around and glared at Jacqui.
''Cassandra Cage is dead. That's not my name.'' she denied, narrowing her orange glowing eyes.
''What should we do with them?'' Takeda asked, turning Cassie's attention from Jacqui to him.
''Kill them.'' she responded coldly, her voice devoid of any emotion. ''I'm going to Lord Shinnok. Do not fail me.''
With that, a portal opened to her right. With one last glare towards Takeda and Jacqui, she stepped through.
Jacqui and Takeda looked at each other and nodded. Jacqui ran forward to attack Sonya, while Takeda took on Kung Jin.
''Sorry, Auntie Sonya'' Jacqui said venomously.
Jacqui punched Sonya in the stomach, but Sonya reacted quickly and kicked her in the gut. Jacqui stumbled backwards, shaking her head. She swept Sonya's legs out from underneath her. While Sonya was still down, Jacqui's gauntlets were charging up for a blast. She shot at Sonya, who quickly rolled out of the way. The blast left a burn mark on the ground next to her, that sizzled. Jacqui grabbed Sonya by her throat and picked her up. Sonya kicked Jacqui in the stomach, causing her to let go. Sonya got up quickly and punched Jacqui in the jaw. She kicked Jacqui in the head, then performed a round house kick, knocking Jacqui down. Jacqui got up, but Sonya followed with a punch to her head. She then gave Jacqui an uppercut, knocking her out cold.
The green glow that had enveloped Jacqui faded away.
Takeda lashed out with his mechanical whips. Kung Jin jumped back. However, he didn't get completely out of range. The whips left several cuts along his arms. Takeda ran up and punched Kung Jin in the nose, following through with an uppercut. Kung Jin stumbled back, but pulled out an arrow from behind his back. He drew back and fired. Takeda moved out of the way, but the arrow grazed his shoulder. The cut slowly grew a dark red. Takeda shook it off, putting his fingers to his head. When he took his fingers away from his head, he smiled.
Kung Jin looked confused, until his expression turned to shock. For in front of him, stood Kung Lao, in revenant form.
''Kung Lao?'' Kung Jin asked.
''Kung Lao is dead.'' He responded harshly.
Kung Lao ran forward to attack, grabbing his hat. He threw it at Kung Jin, who ducked just in time, only to be kicked in the jaw by Kung Lao.
Takeda watched as Kung Jin struggled in his sleep. Takeda had gone into his head to see his worst fears and make them all play out. He had knocked Kung Jin and left him to face his fears. Yes, he could be killed by this if Kung Lao won. All Takeda had to do was sit back and watch.
He smiled evilly. Sonya ran up behind and kicked him in the back. Takeda stumbled forward and turned around to see Sonya.
''You shouldn't have done that.'' He said, getting in a fighting stance.
He ran forward and kicked her in the stomach, then punched her in the nose. Sonya quickly recovered. She swept his legs out from underneath him. Then, she jumped on top of him, punching him in the nose three times before jumping off. She used her blasters to blast him, finally breaking the connection.
Kung Jin awoke, breathing quickly. His eyes were wide and his chest heaved. Takeda was knocked out and his green glow faded.
Sonya sighed and looked around. She was the last one standing. Jacqui and Takeda were out cold, Kung Jin was hyperventilating, and Johnny laid unconscious among the burning debris.
Sonya ran over to Johnny and helped him up. She carried him aside from all the destruction and laid him down.
With Cassie
''They've failed, Lord Shinnok.'' Cassie said, averting her eyes to the ground.
Shinnok said nothing, but his expression was angry. He waved his hand and two winged demons appeared. Cassie looked at them, her face devoid of any emotion.
Suddenly, the two demons grabbed Cassie by her arms. Cassie struggled to get out of their grip, but to no avail. All her attempts seemed futile.
''Maybe, next time, you'll do better. The shattered remains of Cassandra Cage are keeping you from attacking with all your strength. After all the pieces are cleared, you'll no longer hesitate.'' He said evilly.
He waved his hand once more, and the force that had kept her under his control for the attack against Jacqui, Johnny, Kung Jin, Takeda, and Sonya, was gone. Now the shattered remains were back in her mind.
''Son of a bitch.'' she hissed, her words laced with venom.
Shinnok sighed, holding his hand back up. Cassie fell unconscious, her figure becoming limp in the demons' hold.
Shinnok took out the amulet that imprisoned him and held it up to Cassie. The amulet glowed green, as did Cassie. The light from Cassie began to flow into the amulet. Soon, Cassie stopped glowing, and the light stopped altogether.
Shinnok put the amulet away and Cassie woke up. The demons disappeared.
''Now, Cassandra Cage is gone forever.''
