Love & War 4
Chapter 17: Cold Nights Pt. 2
Kahishari, Japan...
"Wait, the last time you fought this Sub-Zero guy, you lost?" asked Takeda
"It was a technical loss,. We were interrupted," Hanzo replied. "It's too quiet here."
"Should we grab jackets? The wind's got a nip."
"He's close."
They took cover. Lin Kuei cyborgs were standing by, possibly waiting for Sub-Zero. On Hanzo's cue, he and Takeda downed the unsuspecting cyborgs. Little did they know that the cyborgs were frozen solid, which would explain why they' didn't fight back.
"This whole city is frozen. Even under Quan Chi's control, Kuai Liang wasn't powerful enough to do this."
"The Kamidogu is. Maybe he's possessed."
"The ice leads this way. Stay close. No matter what this fight brings out of me, stick to the plan...
"Is that you, Hanzo?" Sub-Zero... "I barely recognize you without the fire in your eyes."
"Killing you won't bring back the people you murdered, but it will stop you from hurting more."
"And who's going to stop you, Hanzo? You've used a awful lot of hellfire to fight the blood code. Scorpion is getting there. See? There it is?"
"Steady, Takeda. Whoever possessed Fox and Raiden is controlling Sub-Zero."
Inside some incubation chamber...
"It doesn't matter who controls whom... tonight, Scorpion and Sub-Zero finally get a rematch we've all been waiting for. Soon, the Kamidogu will be mine as will Hanzo Hasashi's soul. As for you, my dear Tanya, you and your twin will become one again."
Tanya's evil twin smiled with glee. "When you are whole again, you will be imbued ultimate power you were promised long ago. The wait will soon be over. Chaos will reign forever!"
