Love & War 4

Chapter 38: Bloods & Gods

Sonya and Johnny are still fighting Cassie and Jacqui. They soon learned that the Blood Code gave them superhuman strength.

Meanwhlie, Mileena, Ermac and Kotal were looking at Reiko's deformed face thanks to Mileena's swing of the Wrath Hammer.

"Fools mock my face, but even on my worst day, I look better than that."

What Mileena said was true. Reiko now looks like Two-Face from the Batman series.

"The Blood Code is awe-inspiring," said Kotal. "But it has limits and consequences. Push him further and the power will swallow his soul."

"Push him now?"

"Kill him... and keep killing him."

"With pleasure, but for the record, I' not following your orders, pretender. Killing Reiko is why I came here."

"KILL ME?"

Aw, shit!

"I am more than a novitiate for the Blood God, I am the vessel. My blood reigns!"

Reiko took out Kotal's dagger.

"See anything familiar, Kotal?"

Reiko slices Kotal with the dagger.

"How it must pain you to have lost such a rare weapon..." He then slices Mileena in the stomach. "...without exploiting its true potential! I could enslave you both, but I won't. You will witness my rebirth. Thee end of a journey that began long ago when I emerged from the shadows."
