DON'T OWN ANYTHING
Temple of Fire
The temple was quiet as many monks were doing the cleaning duties happy that the monster they let live with them was off somewhere hopefully dead. Most of the apprentices were cleaning the main hall when the heard banging at the door. One walked to the door opening it slightly to see a purple glowing hammer shatter the door impaling the monk with shrapnel. "Knock, knock monkeys I want… well everything including your lives." Shao Kahn walked in crushing rubble underneath his feet. The monks ran and began ringing bells flooding the main hall. He smirked as the hammer started glowing purple again. "Did they teach you lesson one?" His body glowed green as he bull rushed through, to the center of the crowd. "DODGE!" He yelled as he swung the hammer nailing everyone that was in reach who didn't heed his words.
Monks flew clearing a space; some in pieces. The ones hit and still in one piece, their skin turned black at the point they were struck, and died. "Someone, get them to the med…" he was cut off by multiple explosions heard from the direction of the infirmary. Screams were heard echoing through the halls. The man who tried to give an order turned to see Shao Kahn as his head was palmed and crushed like an egg. The rest were brought out of their stupor as their friends were being killed by this monster.
Monks with Naginatas (AN: Halberd type weapon used by soul caliber character Seong Mi-na) charged towards the man. Shao Kahn broke blades slamming against the temporary green aura as he retaliated with his hammer into more monks. Blood started flooding the floor as another explosion was heard from the direction of the apprentices' barracks. More screams were heard and flames became visible down one of the halls; some turned their heads in the direction of the explosion. Kahn knocked a few into an incoming crowd; the hammer was inflamed with purple slamming it on the ground sending a wall of chakra. As it passed over them, blood began coming out of each orifice as they gasped for life as if the chakra was pure poison.
"What is that weapon doing to them?!" A monk yelled from the second floor. The large man smiled and jumped from the mist of the crowd landing in front of the terrified monk.
"This is my way of honoring the most powerful Biju who is still feared throughout." Everyone stopped to look at his weapon. It was a large fox shaped, steel hammer with the fox's head came to a point at the snout on the back, the nine tails coiling to the hammer head, and roman symbols for nine (IX) on the body in between, but what caught all their attention was that the symbols were emitting that horrible chakra. "It is made with special material I picked up in the village hidden in the stars, where they had two chunks of rocks that were killing their young. Idiots were replacing their entire chakra reserves with this stuff; it was still going to kill them, but they were just killing themselves faster. I am the only one who can wield this without those nasty side effects such as…" He swung the hammer crushing the monk between the hammer and the wall leaving a large indent. "Death" Another monk charged only to be side stepped and kicked in the base of his spine; many heard the sickening crack as he fell screaming. "Paralysis" Kahn lifted his foot and brought it down on his head "and death." Two more charged one took a frontal charge sending him through the railing before the other could react, Kahn's hand exploded through his chest holding his heart. "Organ failure" Kahn pulled back out letting the lifeless body fall to the ground "and death." Many were now trembling in fear, but one charged at him again only to receive a giant boot to his privates causing an audible pop causing the monk to fall on his knees a silent scream on his face. "Sterility and that is just the death of your manhood." Kahn posed as if he was golfing and swung sending the monk's head into the wall across from him.
Two more explosions causing the ceiling to cave many were crushed by debris. Kahn jumped down landing on a monk with a crunch. He walked to the center of the room all exit were blocked with rubble the once brave monk were now cowering. "Is this all the fight you all have… how disappointing." He began swinging the hammer above his head in a circular motion as it picked up speed so did the purple energy tornado as it grew and grew filling the entire room. The ones that were trap felt what the first to die from it felt. Their insides began to feel like they were on fire, lung started filling with blood, slowly losing feeling in their limbs, and finally succumbing to darkness. He sensed nothing living in the room, but there were more in the direction of the court yard. Shao Kahn leaped through the roof, landing on the back balcony he let his chakra flare laced with ice and killing intent to send chills up their spines as they looked up to see him.
The monks in the court yard had a variety of weapons; some had buckets of water in hopes of trying to put out some of the fires. They all looked up in fear as the man jumped to the ground sending out a green shockwave as he landed clearing an area and breaking the two pillars holding up the balcony. "Surrender and we will not be forced to kill you!"
"No" He said in a bored tone and had a deadpan look.
"You are clearly outnumbered!"
"Hahaha… I was outnumbered in there and had a flawless victory. Now it is round two and I plan for another." A sinister grin appeared on his face and the hammer rose as the monks charged.
Hokage's Office
"I do believe that this Sora will be well taken care of in our village." The Hokage stated trying to get the boy who was the only one alive (as far as they knew) with the Kyubi's chakra. The elders were furious once they found out their beast that could have been the village's greatest weapon was kidnaped.
He was speaking to the head monk of the fire temple Chiriku and two guards with him. One had long black hair and the other had a circular black hat with a metallic rim. Their discussion was pertaining to getting the boy so the other villages would take pause before thinking of attacking. "We know of your track record with creature like them Hokage-sama. How do we know that the one you didn't keep a tight enough leash on isn't being trained to attack this country? We need assurance that you will control it?" Chiriku looked at the monk who spoke and saw much anger in his eyes.
After the Kyubi attack the village had an over flow of orphans. Many were sent to the monastery and most adult who lost their families joined as well. When Sora went on his rampage it drudged up horrible memories. The Hokage sighed "I can assure you that…" An ANBU appeared with a piece of paper.
"Hokage-sama we received a message by messenger hawk that the Fire temple is under attack!" without uttering a word the three monks raced out the door.
"Who is attacking the temple does it say?"
"No sir, but they need help from their description this man wields a hammer that emits toxic purple chakra. It might be…"
"Don't say his name we don't know if Jiraya is listening. Ever since the murder of Tsunade he is hell bent on finding him his info has been becoming shoddy. Send Asuma and a few ANBU after them they will need help."
The temple two hours later
Bodies and parts were all over the court yard most showed the signs of chakra poisoning. Shao Kahn walked calmly to the shrine in the center with a badly wounded monk being dragged behind him. "So what I want is in there whelp?" He jerked the mangled body getting a cry of pain.
"I-(cough)-it… it is in…(cough) please l-l-let me…" his voice trailed off with his becoming dull until he felt a jolt as the green aura enveloped him only slightly healing his wounds so he wouldn't die or lose consciousness yet.
'I could just let him die and absorb him, but then I would have to wait for Fuzzy-Jiji to sort through his memories.' "I want to know if there are any traps to prevent taking the scroll." After a few seconds of not being answered he shook the monk again.
"No… there is no need… they kill… the ones… that summon them… they only listen… to their boss… who hates humans."
"Well they will learn to bow to me. You have earned your permanent rest." Those words gave him strength enough to smile as he felt one final jolt before succumbing to darkness. The man ripped the door off and saw a large scroll for a summoning contract. 'Fuzzy-jiji what can you tell me about them?'
'Not much seeing as they stay in their home land, but they are simply warriors that trust no one and unlike their regular animal counterparts they have pride to fight to the death even in single combat. Too bad the head and his elites are gone.'
'I think it is very fortunate for me to not have run into more skilled warrior from Sora's memory those two have studied forbidden arts.'
The fox gained a deadpanned look. 'It is easy to look through recent memories and he thinks they are unbeatable. You have killed and absorbed stronger opponents Naruto even that bitch Tsunade. Also, we need the head monk to get 'Decay' into the village.'
'Yes, but she had that crippling fear of blood. If I knew that early on in the fight I wouldn't have fixed myself up all the way before appearing before her after she launched me through those buildings. Also, you even told me just because I absorbed them doesn't mean I have all of their skills at my disposal.'
'Yes, but relive their lives enough times you they will imprint… I feel three people coming fast either prepare for battle or get going.'
'If I fight there is too high a chance for this scroll to be damaged and I will need them. On the other hand they could have skills I want."
'(Sigh)… Sign it, summoning scrolls don't stay destroyed for long and if you sign it before it is, your name will be in it.' Naruto bit his thumb writing his name in blood and quickly studied the hand signs before closing it to hear.
"SHAO KAHN!" He turned to the three that had arrived. A smirk graced his face as he looked dead at the head that was slightly winded due to racing to the temple.
"Greetings I see you had to push yourself in order to get here. Age seems to have gotten to you as your guards seem ready to fight. Then again you wouldn't need guards if you were in your prime." A scowl appeared on the two's faces.
"Why are you here?!"
"Well you have something I want and I needed to keep Konoha from getting a replacement for the jinchuriki they 'lost'. Do not worry about burying this Sora boy; my apprentice disposed of his body." The three men shudder as they heard the rumors that Decay was a cannibal. Those who were last seen heading to fight him, their remains were found with human bite marks. The monks settled into their stances readying for a fight. "Before we start our fight, I would like to make a wager." Their faces showed confusion, but they didn't drop their stance as Shao Khan raised his hammer to rest on his shoulder. "I challenge your two guards to mortal combat. Two on one, but here are the rules. One fights me at a time, but they can tag out with one another. For them to win obviously they have to kill me, for me to win I only have to kill one of them, and now we are to the bet. If you win Decay will give you my accounts and be your replacement, but if I win Decay goes to the village to become a shinobi and will be allowed to leave with Ermac or myself for training without being followed."
Chiriku had a confused and decided to speak. "It is not within my power to make that happen."
"That is where you are wrong." With his free hand he reached into his blood covered suit and tossed an envelope with the fire Daimyo seal no one could recreate the seal for it was old fuinjutsu written in a dead language. "After, I helped him with the biggest problem with his money a woman that did not understand the concept of smothering and he said he owed me one. So what I asked for is for Decay to have the deal I just purposed, but I need a second signature of a village head with an active shinobi army within fire country and technically you fit the bill."
"Why not ask instead OF SLAUGHTERING INNOCENT PEOPLE?!" The bald monk yelled in uncontained anger which grew as the large man laughed.
"Innocent let me guess, you believe your monks are following your example of forgiveness, honor, and all that crap then you really do not know what goes on in your own temple. Now due we have a deal?"
The head monk's face had sorrow written all over his face as he was well aware of many incident, but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and sometimes having to turn a blind eye to keep the peace. "What is to stop us from chasing after you?"
The giant of man had an annoyed look. "It is in the fine print and I just stated if Decay is with me you cannot follow me. He is always somewhere watching, learning, helping, but really it all depends on your honor if you have any?" That was what goaded the guards to accept the fight which forced his hand. "Now who is coming at me fir…" Before he could finish the monk with long hair delivered a flying kick sending Shao Khan into the shrine.
"My name is Liu Kang and I am starting this fight."
Shao Khan stood rubbing his chest with a scowl on his face. "Okay you sucker punching piece of…" He was cut off again, but this time he dodged a hat being thrown at him with surprising speed.
"I am Kung Lao and I just tagged in." The monk stated as the hat came back to his hand.
