I don't own Midway, MK, or the characters
Back In Outworld Shao Khan didn't like the news he had recieved. The captured children were freed, Reese and Jamal gained the swords and Frost betrayed them. He ordered the complete destruction of what was left of the tarkata, which the deadly alliance, Onaga, Shinnok, and Raiden were all too pleased to do.
" If you want something done you do it yourself." Shao Kahn announced to his allies. Then he told them the plan " The time has come to strike back and we'll strike back hard. The foolish warriors of light think just because they recieved the swords they can turn the tide of this war. But they're wrong. Onaga and I shall deal with Zac, and the brothers. Sheeva you and Goro will stay with the two children we kidnapped. Raiden, Shinnok, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi will finish Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Sub Zero, and Scorpion. Tanya, and Mileena you two had better finish Kitana and Jade or you will face the same fate as the tarkata! As for my "Loyal" armymen. You shall go to the Edenian halls and destroy the rest of the warriors of light."
" Yes emperor!" The army shouted.
" We must strike hard and decise. Once the mortals gain momentum it will be hard to get it back. We must win this war!!" Shao Khan ordered.
BACK IN EDENIA.
Queen Sindel was in a state of shock. Reese and Jamal showed her the swords.
" You....You two are amazing. You've actually got the swords. This will help us in the war against Shao Khan and his allies." She then stood up and walked over to the group before contiuning.
" It has also come to my attention that all of you have completed your missions as well. The children were all freed, and the oni threat in the netherealm has been thwarted. For that I owe you my gratitude. Tonight we feast."
Jamal and Cj overjoyed when she said that. Only to both recieve a smack in the head each by Reese.
During the feast Reese stepped outside to get a breath of fresh air. Then he became lost in his thoughts. He reached in his back pocket and removed something. It was a picture of a beautiful girl with red hair and wild green eyes. As Reese looked at the picture with a sad look on his face, the wind began to pick up. Then in the breeze a voice was heard.
" You still think about me don't you Reese?" The voice asked.
" Everyday of my life Chelsea. Because of me you're...."
Reese didn't get the chance to finish his sentence because he looked up from the picture and saw her.
" Chelsea."
" Reese you can't go linving your life in the past. The day that I met you was the day I felt alive. You've got to let me go." Chelsea said to him.
Reese looked away sadly
" The day I lost you was the day my life lost all meaning." He told her.
" Reese."
As Reese turned his back, Chelsea lowered from the air and put her arms around him.
" Reese, the fact that I'm still important to you after all this time makes me happy. But I want you to be happy too my love. Even if it means getting hurt again you've got to rejoin the living and allow me to die."
Reese turned around and Chelsea started to fade away.
" No wait don't go."
But she was gone.
" Hey you alright out here?"
Reese opened his eyes and turned around to see Marquita walking up to him.
" You didn't come back to the feast we got a little worried."
" Yeah I'm fine." Reese told him.
Marquita gave him a sly smile.
" I know what you were thinking about. You're thinking about Chelsea."
Reese looked at her and smiled
" What gave it away?" He asked.
" Reese. I've known you for years man. I can tell when something is bothering you. You have this tendency to walk away into your anti-social moods and become really distant.
" Oh." Said Reese dryly.
After awhile things became a little weird between them. Marquita decided to say what she had to say.
" You know Reese. You the most dedicated person to this cause. But you have this tendency to cary the weight of the realms on your shoulders. Don't forget you've got friends to help you."
She turned to leave but Reese stopped her.
" We're friends?" He asked her.
" Don't be an idiot. We've always been friends." She said laughing.
Reese smiled on the inside. A burden had been lifted from his shoulders.....For now.
