Chapter 2

Kuai Liang and Rooney progressed up the road pathway with the quiet wind was blowing calmly howling. A vehicle in the distance can be seen as it seemed to be a special forces vehicle. Kuai waved his arms to signal to whoever was driving to stop. When the vehicle was close enough, it stopped as it's breaks can be heard screeching a bit. Two doors opened as a woman's voice is heard.

"Identify yourselves and place your hands where I can see them!"

Kuai looked toward Rooney and was willing to comply with the mysterious woman. He placed his hands in the air and looked at Rooney as she followed doing the same as Kuai.

"Walk slowly toward me and keep your hands where I can see them.. slowly and keep your eyes straight!" The woman's voice began to be clearer now to Kuai Liang when they were in front of the vehicle. A woman stood there her hair was a dark blond and she wore a baseball military style cap, to her left was another woman who seemed to be wearing only a ear piece and her hair was bright blonde. She was appearing to be chewing gum . When she noticed Rooney she smiled brightly.

"Rooney? Well I'll be damed! Iit's been a long time my friend!" the younger woman said to Rooney, running up to her hug her tightly

Rooney was laughing a bit and looked down at the woman "Easy Cassie! Easy! You can break me you know if you keep hugging me like a bear!" Kuai looked at the other younger woman hugging Rooney as the other woman called out to Kuai.

"Sub Zero...? But you died years ago during the invasion of earthrealm. Well it is good to see you again, netherealm forces have converged on every location in the globe and are destroying everything in sight. Some of Khan's former warriors like the tarkatan as well are fighting beside them" The woman smiled slightly removing what was covering her head and face it was Sonya Blade.

"I died..? No I believe you are wrong on that one Sonya Blade. What happened..? Earth isn't the same as I remember." Kuai looked at Sonya with a worried look on his face. Cassie approached Kuai and Sonya "Mom you need to take a look at this.." Kuai hearing these words was shocked to hear someone calling Sonya mother.

"What is it Cassie?" Sonya turned her attention to Cassie as she was handed binoculars to look at the burning village/town "My god.. We need to rally as many as we can. Sub Zero will you help us fight this new threat?" Sonya turned her attention to Kuai Liang and he nodded his head "Whatever it takes to protect EarthRealm, I will do what is necessary" Sonya nodded and got back into the vehicle along with Cassie and Rooney. Kuai sat beside Rooney as she was smiling bright, reuniting with a friend she knew well thanks to her mother and Sonya's friendship.

"Sonya Blade to command. I am returning with Rooney and Sub Zero. I repeat. I am returning with Rooney and Sub Zero." over the radio a voice is heard it was Johnny Cage but he wasn't acting.

"Copy that Sonya. We will be awaiting your return. Also tell Sub I said what's up. it's been a long time" Sonya sighed and chuckled to herself, "You need to take this more seriously, Johnny." Cassie facepalmed to herself and blew a bubble out from her gum popping it as Rooney asked if she could have one, without hesitation Cassie handed Rooney a piece of gum. Kuai looked out of the window thinking to himself as he removed his mask, thinking about this mysterious woman he has been seeing lately.

When they arrived at the headquarters, Kenshi was speaking with the elder god, Raiden about possible fighting positions and where the netherealm forces are attacking as in the other side Johnny Cage was training himself with Ermac. In the end Johnny ended up losing to Ermac and Ermac helped him up.

"I am getting to old to get my ass kicked over and over again by everyone..." Johnny said as he looked seeing Sonya return. He smiled "Well if it isn't my beautiful Sonya Blade and my daughter Cassie Cage!" Cassie rolled her eyes and smiled "Hey Dad... Still losing I see?" Johnny cracked his back into place and shrugged "Getting better... so whose the new girl? And also.. good to see Sub Zero is back in business."

Raiden looked at Rooney as he sensed her mothers presence inside her. He would appear before them and look at her directly.

"Rooney... An unexpected surprise to see you here, and I sense that your father is nearby as well.." Raiden would look at Kuai with a slight smile as Kuai seemed a bit confused but remained silent.

"My father...? What about my mom? Have we heard from her...? Lord Raiden?" Rooney seemed upset and worried for her mother's safety. Though she was an Olympian, she would worry about her mothers safety.

Cassie would look at Rooney and sigh, placing a hand on her shoulder,

"I'm sorry Rooney we lost contact with her... even Raiden cannot sense her presence in earthrealm anymorez"

Rooney ran off a bit upset with these news as Cassie would follow quickly along with Sonya , "We'll handle this... Raiden brief Sub Zero"

Raiden would nod his head gently and look at Sub Zero as the other forces of good would take Raiden's side.

"What you see here are what is left of the forces of light... Cyrax, former member of the Lin Kuei, Johnny Cage.. Ermac the warrior with many souls.. but the soul of Kitana's father now controls the vessel, and then we have Kenshi a blinded warrior who wields a strong blade"

Cyrax would bow still in his cyborg state

"A honor to see you are still alive and in my presence Sub Zero... or should I call you Tundra?"

Johnny Cage smirked a bit and sticks a thumb up, "Hey long time no see Sub! Glad you are back in action with the final remains of the forces of light."

Ermac would nod his head gently

"We are glad to see that you are alive as well Sub Zero of the Lin Kuei."

Kenshi would remain silent and bow as a sign of respect.

Raiden would look at Kuai worried. He places a hand on his shoulder as he sees a woman just like Kuai does as the flashes of their romance comes into his mind and he steps back.

"Sub Zero I believe you should get some rest.. All of us should we have a long battle ahead of us.. and Sub Zero, what you are looking for... Fou can find within your soul. Goodluck to all of you." With a flash of lightning Raiden disappeared. Johnny shrugged and walked off to his quarters. Ermac faded into nothing as the souls would go into slumber. Kenshi simply sat down and placed his blade on his lap and meditated. Kuai held his head, slightly confused and walked to where Rooney was. As he would walk down the hallway, he noticed he was in a dream like state. He would see him and the mysterious woman standing beside one another.

Kuai Liang: "I must go and fight the forces of the outworld invasion, Dyllan..."

Dyllan: "Promise me you will return in one piece to witness our future together...Promise me Kuai."

Kuai Liang: "I promise..."

The two kissed each other before Kuai left with Tomas, leaping through a portal to out world.

Kuai fell to his knees feeling a sharp pain coursing through his body as he heard a echoing like a deep breathing robotic as he would see a cyborg wearing the colors of blue just standing there looking at him

Cyborg Sub Zero: "You can never escape me..."

The figure disappeared shattering into Ice as Kuai coughed violently.

The very last vision showed of a child being born, the child's eyes being black and the hair being black. Dyllan was there holding the child in her arms smiling down as Tomas would appear in the room in smoke to give news of Sub Zero's disappearance. Dyllan finally knew what happened to her beloved.

Kuai Liang: "Is that... What really happened...? She and I... are together? I must... know... more"

Kuai with the last of his might pushed onward as he would see Rooney looking down at a photo of her mother and father though the man's face was slightly blurred in Kuai's vision. When he approached closer, he noticed it was him. Everything around him faded as he noticed he was in the hallway near her room. He listened carefully in the hallway, hearing Cassie and Sonya trying to calm her down. Kuai held a hand on his chest feeling his heart break. Rooney was his daughter, his only daughter.. but the timing isn't right. He must wait. He must wait for the right time to find out more about this truth.
