Skarlet's POV
Ever since I gained my freedom I've been roaming Outworld and training. It seems what Shao Kahn told me was true, I gain strength from others blood. Numerous times I fought Tarkatans and every time there blood was splattered across my body, I would feel so much power inside. This came in handy. As I returned, I was approached by Mileena.
"Skarlet, it seems my Father wants to have a word with you."
She lead the way towards the emperor.
"Skarlet, it seems that you have become stronger so I would like to test you. Mileena!"
As soon as he yelled her name she positioned herself into her battle stance.
"We'll see who's the best assassin." she hissed.
"FIGHT!"
Mileena came rushing towards me with her sais in her hands. She tried stabbing me but I managed to dodge. Then suddenly she disappeared in purple mist and then she appeared in the air with her leg out trying to kick me. I seen this opportunity to jump in the air and turn into blood and appeared behind her and with my ninja swords. I attempted to stab them into her shoulders but she foreseen this attack and dodged. Then I seen her clutching her sais and throwing them at me with incredible speed but as she did this I grabbed my kunais and threw them at her sais. With incredible speed she ball rolled which caused me to fell forward and at that moment she stabbed me multiple times in the abdomen which caused inner damaged. Damn it hurt but after she kneed me in the jaw. I knew my jaw was broken into pieces.
I knew I had to get back up so I did.
"Had enough?"
She turned her back to me but rage took over and I flipped in mid-air towards her with my ninja sword in one and then she turned around which gave me the opportunity to palm her nose and stab her in the eye with my heel. Blood came from her eye and landed on the leg. With one hand over her eye she watched as my body absorbed the blood and the stabbing wounds including my jaw began to heal.
"What are you?"
"No more, Skarlet. You have proven yourself."
Shao Kahn came behind me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Mileena, heal your eye and in the mean time you will be resigned from being my right hand man."
"But Father!"
"No excuses!"
He walked away and I was there to watch Mileena being enraged. I started to walk away but she asked once again.
"What are you?"
But I continued walking without saying anything. I wasn't really the talking type.
I continued to walk until I came upon a sorcerer named Shang Tsung. He was also under control by Shao Kahn. He seemed to be interested in me by the way he was staring at me.
"What a marvelous creature. Even my sorcery can't even create such a unstoppable being."
I ignored him and kept walking. As I almost got to the end of the hallway I noticed Shao Kahn and Quan Chi were talking.
"We're losing the tournament. We need more kombatants."
"Of course, but they have to be skilled."
"Yes, I have an idea."
"What's that Quan Chi?"
"Why don't you put your last resort in the tournament."
Was he talking about me?
"She's my last resort not just another warrior who just will end up dead."
"Exactly, she's your last resort and we're out of options."
"Fine."
"Aww, speaking of the devil."
Quan Chi turned to me.
"Skarlet you will be taking part of my tournament."
I bowed to show a sign that I understood.
"Quan Chi, I need you to heal Mileena. I'll use her in the tournament too."
"Why does she need healing, sire?"
"I tested how powerful Skarlet is by making her and Mileena fight."
"Marvelous. But.. ( he walked up to me) what did you do to her?"
Once again I just walked away. I had to prepare for the tournament. And like I said before I wasn't the talking type.
