Chapter 3- Sub-Zero
Smoke froze and I took the chance to role from underneath him.
"What are you doing?" Sub-Zero asked.
"Smoke didn't believe she could fight him off," Liu said.
"And why didn't you stop this?" Sub-Zero asked.
"It was nice to see him be beaten by a girl, a human girl," he answered.
"I was hoping better of you, Liu Kang," he said, "and you Smoke. What did you think you would get out of this if you were able to get her in a vulnerable position?"
"That maybe she could realize that her attitude is going to get her nowhere," Smoke said, now standing.
"My mother has tried teaching me that lesson too," I said.
"I thought you didn't remember anything?" Liu asked.
"I'm starting to remember some things," I said.
"Like what?" Liu asked.
"My mother used to beat me," I said.
"Your mother?" Sub-Zero asked.
"Am I dismissed?" Smoke asked.
"Yes, thank you for watching her until I got here," Sub-Zero said.
Smoke bowed and walked out of the room.
"Now your mother?" Liu asked.
"Yes my mother. Why are you training me?" I asked Sub-Zero.
"Raiden has ordered it until we know why you were sent to the palace," Sub-Zero said.
"When does training start?" I asked.
"Tomorrow," he said.
"Do you know what time it is?" I asked.
"Almost 3 pm according to the Earth time system," Liu said.
"Is there anything to do other than sit around and do nothing?" I asked.
"You can start by learning not to use an attitude," Sub-Zero said.
"You should teach Smoke that too," I said.
"I could teach you a couple things," Liu said.
I turned to him, "Mental of course," he added.
"You are the most at peace fighter aren't you?" I said mainly to myself.
"He does have peace at mind and uses that against his opponents. You will train with him tonight. And Liu," he said, "No physical activities. Try to get her to remember a couple things."
"Yes sir," he said and bowed. Sub-Zero left and Liu sat in the middle of the room, gesturing for me to sit down.
