I don't own Mortal Kombat!

I saw the reviews on this story. I know that some people might not like how I started it out. I admit, I was shaky on the beginning, but it will get better.

Taken

Black Dragon Base

''Sir,'' Tasia walked up behind where Kano sat. ''she ran away.''

''Good, good.'' Kano responded. '' We're ready to make a move.''

With Cassie

Cassie landed the helicopter in the ruins of a city. She got out of the helicopter and looked at her surroundings. This would be a place where she could get her head back together. A noise emitted from a pile of debris, followed by hurried footsteps. Cassie sighed, pulling out her nightstick. Someone, or something, ran up behind her, ready to attack. Before they were given the chance to harm her, Cassie quickly turned around, hitting the person in the head with her nightstick. The person fell back. Cassie took the chance to see who her attacker was.

The being laying on the ground was a Tarkatan soldier. Cassie put away her nightstick, and replaced it with a gun. She walked up to the Tarkatan, putting her boot down on its throat. She aimed the gun down at it and pulled the trigger. In a split second, the bullet was lodged in its head. Cassie put her gun away, wondering why a Tarkatan would be in Earthrealm, especially after war.

Cassie thought that it must've been a survivor, just living in the ruins, waiting for a chance to get back to Outworld. Too bad that he'd never get the chance.

''Cassie Cage.'' A female voice said.

Cassie spun around to see who it was. She found Tasia, of the Black Dragon. Cassie got in a fighting stance.

''If it's a fight you want…'' Cassie was cut off when Tasia spoke.

''A fight is not what I came for.'' She said gently. ''I come with an invitation to join the Black Dragon.''

''Why the hell would I do that?!'' Cassie yelled furiously.

''You killed hero, you're considered a threat. Why wouldn't you?'' Tasia asked. ''You've no reason to remain with the Special Forces.''

Another voice intervened, a male voice. ''And you'd make a great addition to the Black Dragon.''

Cassie turned around to find Kano. ''I'm not going to become a heartless thug.''

''You don't have a choice.'' Kano said.

Before Cassie could do anything, Tasia came up behind her and gagged her. Within seconds, Cassie was knocked out.

Special Forces Base

''She escaped?'' Sonya asked, trying to remain calm.

Kung Jin, along with Jacqui, gulped nervously. ''Yes…''

Sonya took a deep breath, pacing in her office. ''How?''

Jacqui averted her eyes to the floor. She punched a hole through Cassie's door after Cassie had escaped out the window, so nobody could say she didn't try.

''She took me out.'' Kung Jin answered.

''Everyone, everyone on base had been ordered to bring her in. How, pray tell, did she manage to escape everyone on base?!'' Sonya snapped angrily.

''She went to the rooftops.'' Jacqui said quietly.

''Smart girl.'' Sonya said under her breath. ''Kung Jin, why didn't you call for backup?''

''I thought I could take her.'' Kung Jin admitted.

''And what happened to using the peaceful approach?'' Sonya asked him.

Before Kung Jin could respond, there was a knock at the door. ''General Blade,''

''What is it?'' Sonya asked calmly.

''It's been reported that your daughter has been kidnapped by Black Dragon.'' The soldier said.

''Dammit.'' Sonya cursed quietly. ''Send out a S & R team.''

''And you two,'' Sonya began, speaking to Kung Jin and Jacqui. ''You two are going with them.''

The two nodded.

''And what about Takeda?'' Jacqui asked.

''Nobody's heard from him. He set out by himself to find Cassie.''

Black Dragon Base

Cassie slowly awoke in a dark and abandoned room, tied to a chair. Her vision was blurred and her head was pounding. And a piece of tape was over her mouth. The single light that hung above her head only chased away so much of the darkness.

''Aw, look who's awake.'' A male voice said. Speaking of darkness…

A door opened, letting some more light in. Cassie looked up and saw Kano standing in the doorway. As much as she would've loved to curse him out, due to the tape, she couldn't. Kano made his way over to her. Once he came to a complete stop right in front of her, he smiled.

''The invitation to join the Black Dragon wasn't a request, luv.'' Kano said. He ripped the piece of tape off her mouth. Cassie's cheeks burned like hell, but she didn't do anything to show it.

''We've got guests arriving soon. Your friends and parents.'' Kano said evilly.

''If you hurt them…'' Cassie was interrupted when Kano put a knife against her throat.

''I'll do what I want.'' Kano replied.

Cassie spat at him. Kano stepped back, his face twisted in disgust. After wiping off his face, he slapped her across her face.

''Were it any other day, I'd kill you for a stunt like that. But, I need you as leverage. You're in luck.'' Kano said, walking out of the room.

Cassie hung her head, just wishing that nobody would find her.

With Special Forces

Jacqui and Kung Jin, along with Johnny and Sonya, were flying in a helicopter, accompanied by a few Special Forces soldiers. Takeda had come back from…wherever he had gone, to join them to find Cassie.

''There.'' Sonya said, pointing down at any old, abandoned warehouse.

The pilot complied and lowered the helicopter to land. Once on the ground, the doors to the helicopter opened and everyone stepped out.

''Alright,'' Sonya began. ''Team one, cover the west. Team two, the east. Takeda, Jin, Jacqui, you take the south. Johnny and I will take the north. Have your communicators turned on.''

Each team took off to cover any side of the warehouse. Once in position, Sonya started to instruct them through their communicators.

''Team one, are you in position?''

''Check.''

''Team two?''

''Yes, ma'am.''

''Jacqui, Jin, Takeda?''

''Affirmative.''

''We're all in position. Everyone ready?''

''Affirmative.''

''Alright, on my mark. Three…two…one!''

Loud explosions could be heard even miles away. Holes had been made in the sides of the warehouse, allowing entrance. Everyone searched for Cassie, even Kano, but found nothing.

''There's nothing here.'' Takeda said.

''Thank you, Captain Obvious.'' Kung Jin said, sarcasm dripping from every word.

A sharp, smacking sound could be heard over all communicators. It was followed by two ''Ow!''s.

''Get it together!'' Jacqui hissed.

''Jacqui's right.'' A voice was heard all around them. Several screen lit up, and Kano's image appeared.

''Are you guys seeing this too?'' Jacqui asked.

''You all are.'' Kano said.

''Meet together in the center of the warehouse.'' Johnny said.

A few minutes later, everyone was together in the center of the warehouse.

''What took you so long?!'' Johnny asked when Jacqui, Kung Jin, and Takeda arrived.

''We probably would've been here sooner if JACQUI hadn't stopped to shoot every screen when Kano was taunting us.'' Kung Jin said, crossing his arms.

''Shut it, Jin.'' Jacqui bit back defensively.

''Alright, yeesh.'' Kung Jin rolled his eyes.

''Pull it together.'' Sonya ordered.

''Nobody's here. I'm starting to think this is…'' Takeda was cut off when several lights buzzed to life, and several Black Dragon members were surrounding them.

''A trap.'' Everyone finished his sentence in usion.

Takeda sighed. ''Here we go.''

''Where's Cassie?!'' Sonya demanded.

''Not 'ere.'' Kano said, grinning evilly. ''She never was.''

''Where are you hiding?!'' Jacqui asked. ''Why don't you stop being such a coward!''

''That takes all the fun out of it.'' Kano responded.

Jacqui narrowed her eyes at him. ''Where. Is. Cassie!?''

''I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. Take 'em down!'' Kano ordered the Black Dragon members surrounding them.

One of the Black Dragon members tried to kick Jacqui, but Jacqui punched them in the jaw, utterly destroying their jaw with her gauntlets. Another tried to take down Takeda, but ended up having his arms cut off by Takeda's whips. One almost cut Kung Jin, but he shot two arrows in their eyes and in the middle of their forehead, killing them.

Another came after Johnny. Johnny shadow kicked him and gave him an uppercut, knocking off his head. Two came after Sonya. She kicked one in the stomach and threw him at the other. She then called her drone to finish them. The drone used lasers to cut off their arms and their heads.

Soon, all the guards were dead or knocked out.

''Alright Kano, where's Cassie?!'' Takeda yelled at the screen Kano's image was on.

''Like I would tell you.'' Kano said smugly.

After he finished saying that, gas filled the room. The last thing any of them heard was Kano's laugh before they were knocked out.

End of chapter!

I know, it might've been a little flat, but the next chapter will be more exciting.
