I don't own Midway, Mortal Kombat, or the characters (I wish I did)

In Edenia, Reese and Liu Kang finally climbed to the top of the wall. Liu Kang got to the top first then he helped Reese up as Reese was catching his breath, Liu Kang looked around their surrondings.

"Look, there's the temple right there." He pointed out.

Reese looked at it. It looked as if it was abandoned a long time ago.

" You know it looks bad outside. So makes you wonder how it would look on the inside." Reese commented.

" There's only one to find out. Let's go in." Liu Kang told.

The young man steeled his resolve and he and Liu Kang walked over to the stairway leading into the temple. But just as they took their first step onto the stairs an explosion coming from inside the temple knocked them back. When they go back to their feet, a horde of tarkata came charging out. Among them was their commander Korbrak.

" Great. It looks like we'll have to fight them if we want to find Fenrir." Said Liu Kang as he got into his fighting stance. Reese did the same.

BACK IN THE ARTIC REIGON.

Inside the temple of Delia, Jamal's group looked high and low for Fafnir.

" Damn we looked everywhere but it's nowhere to be found." Said Jax.

" Is there anywhere else we can look Sub-Zero?" Asked Kung Lao

" There is, but we have to go deeper into the temple." Sub-Zero replied.

The five warriors traveled deeper into the temple. After a while they arrived to the deeper reigons.

" Okay we'll search here as well. Make sure you leave nothing unturned." Ordered Sub-Zero.

" That's where we come in at I guess huh mate?" Someone yelled out.

Jamal and the other's turned around and behind them were Kano,Baraka,Frost, and they brought a horde of tarkata.

" Damn man they never quit." Said Cj.

Jamal took one look at Baraka and his anger seethed.

" Ya'll fight who ever. I got ugly here." He growled.

But Cj stood beside him.

" Naw man you ain't doing this by yourself." He said.

" We've got a score to settle Kano." Said Jax.

" Leave Frost to me." Sub-Zero anounnced.

Kung Lao looked at the horde of tarkata and shrugged. " Well I'll fight these mutants I guess." He said sighing.

Back in the Soul Chamber

Marquita and Sheeva clashed with no one gaining an upper hand. Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Tonya, Sonya, and Kira stopped their battles and watched with disbelief and awe. Sheeva was the most brutal and vicious female warrior of them all, and here was a young mortal woman matching her blow for blow. Then Kitana sucker punched Mileena continuing the fight. Jade had the upperhand against Tonya, and Kira was completely outclassed against Sonya. Somehow Sheeva managed to get the upper hand and punched Marquita in the jaw and then a roundhouse kick sending her flying back.

" Have you had enough mortal?" Sheeva said.

Marquita looked at her, wiped the blood from her mouth and smiled.

" I'm done yet." She said as she got up and charged towards Sheeva to continue the fight.

Mileena attempted to use her Teleport Kick on Kitana but Kitana parried it leaving Mileena open and she connected with her square wave punch knocking her clone out of the sky. Tanya tried to use the Surging Blast on Jade but to no avail Jade used her Dodging Shadows technique that made projectiles completely useless. She then grabbed Tanya and brutally kneed her in the abdomen. Kira couldn't get on opening on Sonya what so ever, and Marquita started to turn the fight in her favor by moving aside when Sheeva tried her ground stomp technique. When Sheeva turned around, Marquita floored her with her No Tolerance combo.

Back in Edena

Liu Kang and Reese started their assault on the Tarkata. Liu Kang executed his flying kick on one and sent it flying into a small batch. One swiped at Reese but Reese ducked and sweeped it's feet out from under it. Then another attacked Reese but Reese grabbed the beast's arm and kicked it's legs out from under it then when it hit the ground. Reese kicked him in the face, knocking him out. Liu Kang transfromed into a dragon and wiped out the last remaining few. When it was done, Korbrak was the only one left.

" Now try that against me mortals!" He said

Liu Kang go into his stance but Reese held his arm out.

" I got this one." He told Liu Kang

Liu stepped back and watched as Reese charged at Korbrak ready to fight.

Back in the artick reigon

Jamal and CJ did battle with. No matter how hard he tried, Baraka couldn't get an advantage against the two.... until he unsheathed his armblades. When that happened, two words came across both their minds.

"Aw Shit."

Jax's fist connected with Kano's good eye causing him to stagger around in pain,but he recovered just in time to Kung Lao and Cj handled the tarkata that surronded them, but Sub Zero didn't even try to attack Frost. The more frustated she became the more vicious her attacks were.

"ATTACK ME YOU BASTARD!!" She yelled as she kicked Sub Zero in the ribs causing him to drop to one knee one the floor coughing up blood. Frost stopped her attack as she confused.

"Why don't you fight back?" She asked.

" I made a promise." He replied.

" What promise?"

" I promised my parents that when I met her, I wouldn't fight my sister."

" You don't mean...."

Sub Zero did his best to stand up before continuing

" Yes Frost. You are my sister."

" NO I REFUSE TO BELIVE IT!!!!!"

" Think as hard as you can. Look at your gloves. Before you left with mother I gave you those as a keepsake."

Frost looked down at the gloves.

FLASHBACK.

Sub Zero and Frost stood in front of airport saying their goodbyes.

" I'm nervous. What if I don't make any friends in America?" Asked Frost.

" Well you can freeze people into liking you." Sub Zero answered jokingly.

The two laughed at the joke before becoming serious.

" So what are you going to do now big brother?"

" I'm going to join the Lin Kuei to find our brother. To find out what happened to him. He never returned home after the Mortal Kombat tournament." Sub Zero answed with a look of determination.

Just then Frost's mother called to her.

" Well I guess this is bye for now big brother." Frost said as she hugged her brother again.

As she turned to leave, Sub Zero stopped her.

" Wait. Take these." He said as he gave her his favorite pair of fighting gloves.

" What for?"

" Whenever you feel alone just put them on and think of me." He said to her.

" Thank you big brother."

FLASHBACK ENDS.

Suddenly Frost's memory came back. Her eyes grew wide with grief and disbelief at what she had just done to her brother.

" Wh....What have I done?"

She fell to her knees and cried. After a while Sub Zero helped her up.

" If you wish to redeem yourself my sister, help me find the sword Fafnir." He told her.

She looked around before telling Sub Zero were to go.

" It's located in the tomb of the fallen Lin Kuei warriors. But we must hurry!" She answered.

" Jamal! seeing as you are the wielder of Fafnir you must come with us!" Sub Zero yelled

The two ran off to find Fafnir. Meanwhile Kung Lao finished off the tarkata, Jax continued to pound Kano into putty and Cj fought Baraka with all he had. But couldn't touch him because of the armblades.

" Man Jamal you better come back soon otherwise i'm gonna get swiss cheese out here!" CJ said to himself.

IN THE NETHEREALM

Zac and Scorpion were surrounded by a horde of oni lead by Drahmin and Moloch. One of the oni charged at Scorpion but he teleported behind it and crushed it's skull. Another attacked Zac but Zac dogded and countered with a knee to the jaw. A small batch went after Scorpion but they fell to his powerful blade. Zac grabbed one and proceeded to beat it to death. When they finished only Moloch and Drahmin were left.

" Get ready specter because this time you will not survive!!" Moloch growled.

" And your mortal friend will be an appitizer before we get to the main course." Added Drahmin.

Scorpion looked at the the two oni and coldly replied.

" You will not harm the boy."

With that said Scoprion charged towards Moloch and the battle began. Moloch may have had the advantage but Scorpion had the experience and that would prove to be Moloch's downfall. Drahmin tried to interfere with the fight but Zac charged towards him and connected a flying knee sending the oni sprawling into a cliff. Moloch swung his chain at Scorpion but Scorpion moved and hit Moloch with a stunning backflip kick. Zac ran off to the area were Drahmin crashed into and dug him out when he found Drahmin he grabbed him and continued his assault. First he brutally tourtured Drahimin with a deadly knee combo that broke Drahmin's mask. Zac took one look and almost puked but he regained his composure as well as the upperhand as Drahmin freaked out and lashed out at Zac. Zac then used a blurry of punches, kicks, elbows, and knees continusly beating the life force out of the oni until nothing was left. When he was done Zac ran back to the battle of Scorpion and Moloch. Scorpion had just put the finishing touches on Moloch defeating him with little effort. As he walked away, Moloch began to stir. Suddenly Moloch leapt up and swung his orb at Scorpion but Zac pushed Scorpion and smacked it away. Scorpion and Zac then both rushed towards Moloch with blinding speed, circling him and attacking him with punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. When they finished Moloch was battered, bruised, and bloodied. Scorpion took his mask off and shot a ball of fire at the defensless oni then Zac opened his palm and shot an energy blast at Moloch killing him. Scorpion look at Zac with a pleased look on his face.

" Well done Mortal. You've exceeded my expectations." Congratulated Scorpion.

" You think I'm ready for Shao Khan?" asked Zac.

" You'll have to find out for yourself."

After Scorpion took the boy back to the village, he and Zac made their way back to the portal. On the way their Zac asked Scorpion the question that everyone wanted to know.

" Why is it that even thought the oni are gone you took the boy back to the village?"

Zac expected a really blunt answer but instead he got one that he didn't expect.

" The boy reminds me of my own son. Strong willed, but yet innocent."

After that answer, Zac began to look at Scorpion in a different light. Not as a physcotic specter but as a vengeful but yet tourtred soul.

The portal then opened and the two left to return to edenia.
