Love & War 4

Chapter 4: Caged, Pt. 2

At the Special Forces HQ...

"One more step, Kotal, and D'Vorah eats a bullet," said Sonya pointing her pistol at D'Vorah.

"This One happily dies for the emperor."

"No more threats."

Raiden shows up, spreading lightning all around, stopping the chaos, except some lightning hit Chris in the chest and is knocked out cold.

"Earthrealm, our pain will be yours," said Kotal.

"You promised me that you wouldn't use that portal stone anymore," said Raiden.

"And after the Netherrealm War, you promised me that our worlds would cooperate."

Kotal, D'Vorah and Erron Black entered the portal.

"I had that covered, Raiden," said Sonya, obviously pissed.

"That's not why I'm here, Sonya," Raiden replied.

"Raiden..." Jade was holding Chris close.

"CHRIS!" Sonya rushed to Chris. She checked his pulse. He moved his head slowly.

"What the hell happened?"

"My apologies, Chris."

"Yea, sure."

"Where is your daughter," Raiden asked Sonya.

Back at the caged arena, Frost is Cassie quite a beating.

"Spoiled princess," said Frost. "Only here cuz your daddy fake fights. I'm an orphan. I earned my spot through blood and sweat. I'd much rather be me right now."

"You think I don't know about sweat?" Cassie struck Frost with a rising headbutt then sweeps her off her feet. "Hate to disappoint you, Elsa, but my rich daddy always says, "You cant fake a comeback!"

Cassie locked Frost up in a leg scissor hold. "Frost is out cold! Time to..."

"FINISH HER!

The crowd was chanting 'Finish Her," which is something Cassie was not prepared for.

"Not tonight. You have your paparazzi shots. I need a drink."

Damn! The crowd gave Cassie quite a negative feedback.

"Don't worry, bloodmatch maniacs! She doesn't have a choice..." Laser from I'm assuming snipers were pointing directly at Cassie. "...And neither does her friend."

"FINE! IS THIS WHAT YOU ANIMALS WANT?" Cassie has her foot on Frost's throat. "I'm sorry..."

Cassie was about to lay the final blow to Frost when a explosion from the ceiling stopped her.

"Mom, for once I'm glad to see you."

Um, Cassie, baby girl, that's not your mom. There were two people. One with some kind of wooden stick, wearing some type of mahogany armor and the other wears a light purple top and pants, wielding two swords. While this was going on, Jacqui was being escorted when she kicked him in the face. She grabs a set of keys.

"Next time, have a little more respect for the ladies. Go time, Cage."

"Help me with Frost."

"This chick is heavier than she looks. And cold. Are you sure she's not dead?"

"She's breathing," Cassie replied.

"So, why'd we save this freak?"

"I guess I wanted to wipe "Almost killed her" off my karmic shit list. I'm sorry we came here tonight. That was totally fucked up."

"Your night is just getting started, Cassie Cage." The man in some strange armor is Jarek from MK4 and the female in purple is Tasia from that GOD AWFUL Special Forces spinoff.

"The Black Dragon requests your presence," said Tasia.

"RUN!" Cassie and Jacqui made a run for it.

"Got my phone?"

Jacqui hands Cassie her phones takes a quick selfie.

"Really, Cassie?"

"We can't outrun them. I'm leaving a trail...'

11:28PM Monday was shown on the phone. It also had Daddy Cage, most likely Johnny trying to contact Cassie. Sonya picked up the phone and the image of Erron Black is shown.

"Son of a..."

Chris and Jade are with her.

"Cameras at the club put a positive ID on Black Dragon members, Jarek and Tasia," Jade said.

"Did you say "Black Dragon?" Chris asked. He then developed a sickening feeling in this stomach.

"Apparently, Kano wasn't the only one," Sonya replied.

"You ok?"

"If they're here, then..."

"You killed Kano long ago, right?"

"During the Black Moons crisis, yeah. Who the hell is Jarek and Tasia?"

"Well worry about them later. Get Johnny, Chris. We're taking the squad to Outworld and when we get there, mark my words, Chris. Kotal Kahn is a dead man!"
