Chapter 5

While Johnny Cage and Cyrax attempted to stall the new intruders, Kuai was keeping his eyes peeled for any hostiles in the area. In the distance, a flame emerged as it was Scorpion, the hell spawn ninja specter of the Nether Realm. Kuai placed his hand in front of Rooney, telling her to stand back no matter what. This was going to be a bad fight.

"The girl... You will give her to me!" Scorpion said with anger in his eyes. Kuai Liang glared at Scorpion with protective intentions of Rooney.

"You want her. You will have to go through me first,Scorpion. Return to your master while you still can." Kuai stood there in his combat stance the Shotokan as he stared down Scorpion.

"Very well. If that is how it must be!" Scorpion dashed toward Kuai, teleporting and hitting him directly in the face as Rooney jumped out of the way to avoid being hit by Scorpion's attack. Kuai grabs Scorpion, tossing him behind him then leaping into the air, kicking Scorpion in the face that send him to the floor. Scorpion looked up, expecting the next move as Kuai channeled his energy into his hands firing a ice burst directly at Scorpion's position, freezing him for a second then kicking him in the chest. Scorpion quickly tries to block the attack but takes the blow to the chest. He summons a hell spawn demon to grab Kuai and stop his movements for a few seconds. Kuai looked down, trying to knock the demon off him back into the Nether Realm portal he was summoned from. Two spears fly toward Kuai, stabbing him in his chest.

"Get over here!" Scorpion yelled out, pulling Kuai to him and punched him upward into the air and teleported applying punches on him. Ronney yelled out as she noticed her friend Kuai being hurt. She grabbed Scorpion after he teleported. Her black eyes slowly glowing blue somehow as she placed a hand on Scorpion's chest as a cold breeze surrounded both Scorpion and Kuai. A large burst of cold energy hits Scorpion as he is sent toward Kuai's location. Kuai was in a slight daze as Scorpion fell to the ground in front of him. He looks up to see Rooney having ice forming on her hands. The cold breeze brushing up her shoulders. She seemed to be out of it. He quickly knocks out Scorpion and runs to Rooney as she fell to the ground, passing out into Kuai's arms.

Johnny Cage looked back at the two as Noob Saibot punched him directly in the face that knocked him to the dirt floor. Cyrax was outmatched by the cyborg in black. Noob Saibot and the black toned cyborg approached Kuai.

"You were always weak.. and never earned those colors, Kuai Liang. This is where the forces of light will die."

Kuai looked up, holding the sleeping Ronney in his arms as Noob Saibot summoned one of his shadow clones to grab Kuai where he was pulling him away from the helpless Rooney. With all of his might, he tried to free himself but Noob Saibot teleported in front of him.

"Goodbye, Kuai Liang..." Noob Saibot punches his brother directly in the face, knocking him out. All that can be heard is Rooney awakening, screaming and a helpless Kuai Liang could only hear his daughter's words as she was taken into the portal to the Nether Realm.

As Kuai Liang awoke, he noticed Cyrax helping Johnny Cage up. They both looked at Kuai confused.

"Where is the young girl...? Sub Zero?" Cyrax questioned confused

"Yeah.. and whoa.. You all right? Where is Rooney?" Johnny looked at Kuai Liang worried.

Kuai Liang looked down, knowing he failed to protect his daughter. A tear falls from his face. The disgrace the failure to honor his family. He clenches his fist as ice crumbled in them, falling to the dry surface below. He looked to his right to see the portal was still open.

Johnny looked at Kuai Liang, "You are going in after her.. aren't you?"

Kuai Looked back, "Whatever comes through this portal if it isn't me, destroy them and if I am not back in time... Destroy this portal." Johnny and Cyrax were shocked to hear this.

"What you mean you are going in there...? It's to dangerous alone!" Johnny placed a hand on his shoulder trying to convince him to not go alone.

"Sub Zero, I am at your service if you request my assistance in your quest." Cyrax said bowing his head as a sign of respect.

Kuai Liang looked back at them both having flashes of Dyllan in his mind and Rooney. He smiled under his mask removing it. "You have all been a great help.. but this is where I say my goodbyes.. Good luck"

He walked into the portal as Johnny reached out to try to stop him. Kuai was on his own. To save his daughter and to save Dyllan, no matter the cost. He has to protect what family he has left.
