I stare at Quan Chi, feeling every ounce of me wanting to bash him into a bloody pulp, and surprisingly it isn't my bidding, the elder gods are begging me to do it. Ha, they do have a dark side to them.

"Well, are we just going to stand here, gawking at each other?" Quan Chi smiled.

I look over at Saia who seemed to be locked in a staring battle of her own, with a still breathing black ninja.

"Lucky for me, I always use my shadows." He seemed to smile. "Well Saia…. Are you ready to die?"

"Sorry, that's not what's going to happen for me today."

"Oh, so you believe you can win?" He stopped, standing in his stance.

"Not alone she's not." Jax walked up next to her. "But maybe I can help out a little bit."

"Ha-ha, this is going to be too easy."

"Saia…" I call to her. "You aren't allowed to die, understand?" I smiled at her. "If I can't, you can't."

Saia breaks her gaze, smiling sweetly at me. "It's a deal." She turned back to the black ninja, who slowly came closer to her.

Before I could see any of them laying a punch on the other, I heard Quan Chi began moving towards me.

I gave him one second to make a move, and like I thought he threw a skull, I move quickly, expecting the next blow would be a teleportation… I did the same, appearing behind him, punching him in the back of the neck.

"Tricky…" Quan Chi laughed. "Then again, I should have figured you'd be a dirty fighter, after all…"

"Just stop talking, so I can kick your ass. "GET OVER HERE!"

"So this is where you've been?" Jax looked at Saia, briefly before looking back at Noob.

"Look big brother now's really not the time." She looked at him.

"Well seeing that I haven't seen you in fucking YEARS!"

"JAX!" Saia shouted. "Not the best of times right now!"

"Fine, but when we kill him, we have some serious shit to get to, understand?"

I yank Quan Chi over to me, slamming my fist in his face, feeling his nose breaking at the force of my punch. I let flames engulf me as I teleport behind him, I slam my fist in his jaw, feeling it break I watch as he falls to the ground, and stomp my foot on his chest, watching with pleasure as blood shoots out from his mouth.

I grab him by the neck, lifting him up. "Quan Chi, I truly am going to miss you." I smirk, ripping off my mask, letting flames shoot from my eyes, the elder gods' presence leaving me.

"Ha, ha…" Quan Chi chuckled, "I… will… be… back…"

"I'll be waiting." I pull him closer. "But if you ever threaten Saia again, I'll make sure you NEVER come back." I take in a deep breath, and let flames escape my mouth.

I hear him yelling, but only for a brief second before laughter rang through the pits. I look around to see Saia and Jax being thrown to the ground by Noob and his shadow. I get up and run to them, I could kill him easily.

I teleport behind him, pulling my katana from its case, "Any last words?"

"Ha-ha, well, between Quan Chi, and Sub-Zero, betrayal seems to follow you."

I grip his neck tighter. "What?"

I happen to see a purple flash dart from the darkness; I looked around briefly to see where it was heading.

"I should not be the one you're worrying about."

"What the hell do you mean?" I tighten my grip.

"Ha-ha, Betrayal, such a wonderful song."

I felt cold hands grab me, and slam its knee in my back, forcing me to let go of Noob.

I looked behind me to see Rain standing above me.

"Raiden," I look at the Thunder God. "Take Saia back to earth Realm, protect her at all costs…" I stand up. "I'm not letting this go any further."

Noob and Rain stood next to each other, before I could attack either of them; a flash of light blinds me. I feel a hand push me, followed by an entire body… My vision slowly comes back, and I see Reptile spitting acid at both Noob, and Rain. I see Lord Raiden grabbing a body from in front of me.

When my vision is restored, I see Noob running into a portal he has opened, his body smoking from the acid that is burning his flesh. Could chase him, I manage to see the body lord Raiden picked up.

Blood, that's all I can see… I look closer. "Saia." I run to her.

Her side is bleeding, and the smell of burnt flesh surrounds her. The flash was from Rain, he was going to kill me with lightning… She… She stopped it from…

"I'm sorry…" She whispers.

"It's okay." I whisper, taking her hand.

"I promised I wouldn't die …"

"You're not going…." I take in a deep breath. "You're not going to die.

"Ha, it sure feels like it."

Tears streamed down her face, as she reached for my face. I want to cry, she can't be dying, not again. That's when I feel someone staring at me, turning around I see Jax, kneeling down next to me.

"I'm taking her home." He whispers reaching for her.

"Touch her, and I'll kill you." I hiss looking over at him

"Scorpion, we can save her." I hear Raiden from behind me.

"How?" I look back at him, anger lacing my voice. "She's mortal, this is a mortal wound."

"Trust me." was all Raiden said to me, placing his hand on my shoulder.

I looked at her, feeling something I haven't felt in years.

"Stop…" She whispers to me. "Remember…" She smiled. "You're tears don't exist."

"Ha, yeah, you're right."

"Beside, you know…. I'll come back…." She whispers, her eyes slowly closing.
