Jax: That's it. Here goes nothing...

Smoke: You are certain this will work?

Zeke: Honestly, no. I may be good at machines but this way beyond what I'm use too.

Jax and Zeke were working together to try and bring the Sub-Zero that Smoke knew back. They did what they could...now they needed to wait and see what would happen.

Smoke: Sub-Zero? Can he hear me?

Jax: He should?

Smoke: Sub-Zero.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Yes, Smoke.

Smoke: How do you feel?

When he awoken, he saw that Kabal, Stryker, Jax, Zeke, Smoke, Cole and Nightwolf were with him. His memories were fuzzy but they weren't gone.

Smoke: What is it?

Cyber Sub-Zero: I remember...The things I have done for Shao Kahn.

Zeke: It wasn't your fault, you know that.

Cyber Sub-Zero: He cannot be allowed to merge the realms.

Nightwolf: MacGrath, how can Sub-Zero best help us?

Cole: I wish I knew. Both mine and Raiden's attempts to alter future events had negative consequences. Sub-Zero was never suppose to undergo this transformation.

Zeke: So what do we do now?

Stryker: We need intel, right? Let's send him back to Outworld undercover.

Cyber Sub-Zero: They will be unaware of my defection. I could deceive them.

Bass: We're helping out too.

From the doors, Bass walked in, along with others.

Cole: These are the friends you told me about?

Bass: That's right. This is Jann Lee, Rachel, Jacky Bryant and Sarah Bryant.

Jacky Bryant: We're here to knock heads and clean house!

Jax: I like the new kid already.

Cole: We're glad you came to lend us a hand.

Bass: Hayate said that he and his sisters are coming to help us as well.

Cole: And the others?

Bass: At the tournament, with Helena and my daughter.

Cole: Good, let's keep them there. There deaths must not become a reality.

Cole began to over the plan who the group. He explained that Sub-Zero was to go to Outworld undercover and figure out Shao Kahn's plans. Rachel offered to go with him, as a captured prisoner. Everyone agreed and moved forward. Sub-Zero arrived back in Shao Kahn's throne room, with Rachel, over his shoulder and walked up to another fellow cyborg.

?: You report late. Where is the intruder?

Cyber Sub-Zero: I killed him in Earthrealm.

?: He should have been saved for interrogation.

Cyber Sub-Zero: He was formidable. I had no choice. I found us a new prisoner.

?: Follow me. We must lead a new mission.

The red cyborg, led Cyber Sub-Zero and Rachel through a portal and made it into the subway of Earthrealm 1.

Cyber Sub-Zero: What mission brings us here?

?: I have scanned your neural net, Five-Two-Oh. Your neuromodulators have been re calibrated.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Impossible.

?: The experiences has been deleted from your system. Remove your access panel.

But before the cyborg could do so, Rachel awoke and attacked the cyborg, kicking him back.

?: Your programming has been corrupted.

Cyber Sub-Zero: My soul was corrupted. Now it is cleansed.

Together, Cyber Sub-Zero and Rachel fought back against the red cyborg. Sub-Zero seemed to remember his new skills, as a cyborg, as Rachel assisted with backup tactics. The cyborg was a tough opponent but he was defeated.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Artifical enhancements are no substitute for the human soul.

Rachel: Way to tell him, Sub-Zero.

The two walked over to the cyborg, as Sub-Zero removed his access panel and gathered the needed information.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Thank you, Sektor.

Rachel: Let's move.

The two continued on, making there way to a new location, where the two four-armed monsters, known as Goro and Kintaro, along with Kano had soldiers chained up.

Kano: Finally. C'mon, we gotta get 'em to the graveyard at Saint Dominic's. On your feet! All of you! Anyway, who's the lass?

Cyber Sub-Zero: A prisoner. What is this purpose for?

Kano: Don't care, really. So long as I get paid.

Kintaro: He said on your feet.

Goro: Come on, up!

Before he monsters could attack, Sub-Zero froze them solid, along with Kano.

Rachel: Don't worry, we're here to help.

Cyber Sub-Zero grabbed the chains and froze them solid, while Rachel broke the ice and freed the soldiers. However, Goro and Kintaro were beginning to break free, from the ice.

Rachel: Sub-Zero!

Cyber Sub-Zero: Go! All of you! Now!

The soilders ran off, until Goro and Kintaro broke free.

Kintaro: Your treachery will be punished!

Rachel: I think not!

The second fight of Rachel and Cyber Sub-Zero began, against Kintaro and Goro. They were indeed the muscle and were tough opponents. But Rachel and Cyber Sub-Zero wouldn't give up. Rachel watched Cyber Sub-Zero's back, as he battled Goro and she fought Kintaro. Together,my hey were unstoppable and defeated them both.

Rachel: Evil begone!

Just then, the soilders came running back to them, as the bell tower began to shake and rumble. They ran to Cyber Sub-Zero and Rachel as a new enemy appeared.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Come no further, fiend of Outworld.

Rachel: Sub-Zero!

Cyber Sub-Zero: Go! Get these men out of here. I will be done shortly.

Rachel: Be careful.

Rachel led the soilders outside, while Cyber Sub-Zero dealt with the Outworld menace, known as Ermac. It was a tough fight but he managed to hold his own and eliminate Ermac. As he was done, Rachel and the soilders returned.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Why are you here, I asked you to take the men to safety.

Rachel: We do not leave the good men behind.

Solider (1): Thanks. I thought we were done.

Cyber Sub-Zero: We must go. We need to investigate the graveyard.

Solider (2): We'd go with but we have to return to our unit.

Rachel: Very well. Do take care and watch out for each other.

Rachel and Cyber Sub-Zero took off to the graveyard, only to find other soldiers captured by Quan Chi, Tanya and the same fighter who battled against Kabal.

Cyber Sub-Zero: This is Sub-Zero. I have encountered Quan Chi. He seems to be casting a spell.

Just then, Raiden began to have another vision, like Cole.

Nightwolf: Raiden, what is it? What did you see?

Raiden: One of Shao Kahn's soulnados, on a scale I thought unimaginable. All of Earthrealm's souls imprisoned...absorbed by Shao Kahn, multiplying his power.

Zeke: Say what?!

Nightwolf: That is what Sub-Zero has found?

Raiden: No matter my efforts, the future remains peril. How could I have failed Earthrealm?

Nightwolf: Do not lose faith in the spirits, Raiden. They will guide you, protect you.

Cole: Sub-Zero. We will disrupt the Soulnado. I'm sending Zeke and Nightwolf. They will be there momentarily.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Hurry. The spell appears to be nearly complete.

Together, Cyber Sub-Zero and Rachel attempted to stop Quan Chi and his plans.

Quan Chi: Who is that?

?: The one Kano warned about. He is mine.

Quan Chi: Tanya, alert Shao Kahn and Sindel immediately.

?: You. You are not worthy of the name Sub-Zero.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Who are you to judge?

?: I wore those colors before you.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Bi-Han?

?: I am known as Noob. But yes, Kuai Liang. It is I. Quan Chi restored me.

Rachel: Restored? You and Sub-Zero! You're both flawed copies of your former selves.

Noob: I have no flaws. Quan Chi has perfected me.

Rachel: For what end? To serve Netherrealm and Outworld?

Noob: It suits my purpose.

Cyber Sub-Zero: But brother, we are...

Noob: We share blood. We are not brothers.

Cyber Sub-Zero: Then I will not regret your defeat.

Rachel: I'll deal with Quan Chi.

Sub-Zero was forced to fight against his brother, Noob. They were both skilled but it seemed that Noob had the upper hand...with the aid of Quan Chi's magic. However, Cyber Sub-Zero was no longer the true Sub-Zero, he was newly improved as well and showed his brother his true power.

Cyber Sub-Zero: You are right. We are not brothers.

With Rachel, she was defeated by Quan Chi and he continued his Soulnado. Cyber Sub-Zero made his way to him and to save Rachel and the soldiers. Just as it began, Nightwolf and Zeke arrived.

To Be Continued...
