Love & War 4
Chapter 29: Just The Two Of Us
"Stand down, Hasashi," said Shujinko. "Havik is a man of god and a guest to the Shaolin. He poses no threat."
"You've been deceived, Shujinko. This "Havik" is a agent of the Blood Demon."
"If you were familiar with my teachings, you'd know that I am nobody's agent but my own.
"This is a serious accusation, Hanzo. Have you any proof?"
"No, but his voice is familiar."
"There you have it... just a misunderstanding. Master Shujinko, would you permit me to speak in private with Master Hasashi?"
"I think a peaceful discussion is more constructive than a brawl. Come with me, Takeda."
"Just the two of us. I get why you're fired up, Hanzo. You came all the way here on Raiden's behalf to find out that you're working for the enemy."
"Raiden may be a lot of things, but a traitor is not one of them."
"If I must spell it out for you, you claim a 'demon' seeks to unleash the true power of the Kamidogu, power thatcan only be accessed by uniting them. Ergo, the daggers must be collected first, and what's Raiden been doing? Collecting them."
Takeda and Shujinko are in a separate room...
"At ease, boy. The Kang Temple is one of the safest places on Earth, protected by an army of warriors."
"So was the Shirai Ryu temple."
"Your father thought you would be safe there..."
"What do you know about him?"
Kenshi came here after he left you with Hanzo. He questioned his choice, but his war with the Daegon took priority.
"Who's "Daegon"?'
"Your father's mortal enemy. Founder of the Red Dragon. He claims to be the son of Argus."
"That's why he was running from the Red Dragon when we met. He told me everything except what you told me."
"Kenshi chose war with the Red Dragon over his own family. That's why you're here now..."
"I asked for evidence and you give me slander... we're done here," said Hanzo. "The Kamidogu is coming with me."
Hanzo touched the Kamidogu, but the moment he did, it turned to dust.
"A decoy?"
"You don't think the legendary Shujinko would keep a powerful weapon on display, do you?"
"Where is it?"
"I don't have it, I swear. But I'll tell you the truth about Raiden. Everything!"
"SPILL IT!"
"He... utterly... corrupt... I know because...I WAS THE ONE WHO CORRUPTED HIM! Who corrupted all of them. Who's next? You! Takeda will not able to save you this time."
"Why hasn't Hanzo told me this?" Asked Takeda.
"He is probably trying to keep you from running after your father."
"Hanzo knows vengeance better than anyone..."
"Yes, but there was more than vengeance that Hanzo into Scorpion... FIRST, HE HAD TO DIE!"
At the Sky Temple, Fujin returned from the Netherrealm borders.
"Raiden?"
"You have returned, Fujin. What news from the Netherrealm border?"
"The retaining seals remain intact. There is no trace of Quan Chi, but there is a new cause for concern. We have repaired and reinforced the boundaries to protect Earthrealm, but in doing so, we have left a strategic weakpoint unguarded...the place between the realms."
"Shang Tsung's island?"
"Exactly. What if that is the incursion point?"
"We shall investigate at once."
I attempted to go there but was repelled by a powerful spell. A shield remarkably similar to your retaining seal. Is there something you need to tell me?"
"No. only... it can't be..."
"What is it?"
Raiden tried to step into the Jinsei, only to be kept out.
"Ever since this morning, the Jinsei has rejected me."
"I warned you about using the Kamidogu. The Jinsei can sense its influence."
"I never listen..."
"How many Kamidogu have you obtained?"
"Only three, but they are safe."
"Outworld is just as exposed to Shang Tsung's island as Earthrealm..."
"Johnny, Chris, Tanya and Sonya are there. We must warn them and determine if Kotal Kahn remains their ally."
Later at night in Z'unkahrah, Chris and Tanya were in bed, lip locking.
"You ok, Chris?"
"Yea."
Tanya was naked under the covers.
"In the morning, we're docking off to Shang Tsung's island. Hopefully the girls are still alive when we get there."
"I know. I wonder how Jade is doing there."
"I contacted her earlier. Her, Kitana and Li Mei are searching for them. When we get there, we'll meet up with them."
"I hope they're ok?"
"Do not worry, baby." Tanya climbs on top of him. Like I said, we leave in the morning. For now, close your eyes, and enjoy."
Tanya takes him inside her slowly. They rose up together and kissed deep as she moved her hips slowly. He kissed her neck as she took him deep. She picked up the pace as he liked around her breasts. He got on top and thrusted gently into her. Their lips never leaving each other. Their tongue wrestle for dominance, but Tanya won that fight by wrapping her thighs around him, keeping him inside her. He picked up the pace, but kept it where he can enjoy Tanya. In the morning, they set sail for Shang Tsung's island to find Cassie, Jacqui and Melody. They are to meet Jade, Kitana and Li Mei and learn what they can of their whereabouts. For now, though, they want to enjoy each other. She rides on top of him. His hands on her thighs as she bounced. He then massaged her breasts, then down her body. She moaned under her breath throughout. She slowed down as his seed was about to open fire again. He rose up to kiss her and pumped into her. he shot his seed inside her. Tanya moaned softly as he held her close. She looks at him.
"Do you love me, Chris?"
"Yes I do, Tanya."
"I cannot wait until this is all over."
"I know. We will prevail, baby."
And with that, they continued their lovemaking throughout the night.
In the morning at the docks...
"Kotal's servants had been loading up for hours," said Sonya, growing impatient.
"I know what you mean," Chris agreed. "Those hours are something our girls may not have left."
"What's all this crap anyway?" asked Cage."
"Provisions, food, weapons, etc," Tanya replied. "I guess Kotal's army are preparing for whatever happens on the way to the island."
"Most of it will go to waste just like our time," said Sonya.
"We haven't been on that island for years. Who knows what's going on there?. If this mission didn't involve our daughters, you'd take the time to load up on every scenario, too."
"Maybe. I don't know. We've been in Outworld for too long. And Chris, I know you feel the same way. I know you want to retrieve your daughter and head home. It's like you told me last night; if I kept pushing my loved ones away, i'd be alone again like you. But I'm not gonna let that happen. I'm actually glad we had that talk."
"And I'm glad I was able to get it through you. I'm sure Melody will respect you as you do the same, but she's never met you yet. I told her a lot about you and how we put Kano away at the tournament on that very island."
"Sonya..." Kotal shows up. "Is there a problem?"
"Not at all, emperor," Chris replied."
"Come aboard. I will show you to your quarters."
On Shang Tsung's island... Reiko and Evil Tanya were preparing for the guests...
"When the guests arrive... we must divide and conquer," she said. "But you will need my strength. Not one, but both at the same time."
"Right over the heart."
"Now take the power and pain..."
"...together we will shed blood on the island like never before. That crimson wave will carry me to conquer Outworld and eventually, Earthrealm... and slaughter the Elder Gods themselves!"
