(Jarek's House)
Jarek was brewing the potion of instant health, while Marco watched.
"When did you get a brewing stand?" Marco said.
"It was a while ago. I didn't know I still had it." Jarek said.
Robo was tapping some buttons on his computer system from before.
"Whatcha doing over there, Robo?" Jarek asked.
"Making tune-ups to my devices. This one is for my decimator. The range on that thing is too short." Robo said.
"Try extending it by 6 yards." Jarek said.
"I was just about to. Your blaster is ready for pickup, by the way." Robo said.
"What blaster?" Jarek said, mixing in a glistering melon chunk into another bottle.
"Your Vex gun." Robo said.
"How'd you get that?" Jarek asked.
"While you were toying around with Steven, I saw the gun in the sand, and I thought it was yours. It had a weird insignia on it." Robo said, pulling it out of his storage container, which was huge.
He handed it to Jarek, allowing him to inspect it.
"This is my logo, but.. something's off about it. There's a butterfly on it." Jarek said. "A purple one."
Jarek took it to the backyard, and fired a bolt at an unused bird feeder, breaking it. The rifle fired a blue bolt, which consisted of arc damage.
"This does arc damage. What the hell? This isn't mine." Jarek said.
"I wonder who's it is then." Robo said. He held it again, and aimed.
Jarek then called Shinnok on his device.
"Shinnok?" He said.
"..."
"Shinnok?" Jarek said.
"..." There was just no response.
"Fuck. He's not answering. I gotta go check on him." Jarek said.
"Aren't you, and him on bad terms?" Marco asked.
"No, it's a but complicated. He appears during various events. Like if I'm in a lot of trouble, he comes and wreaks havoc, and I help him after he helps me. Sort of a help me, help you routine." Jarek said.
"Oh. So you and him are friends?" Marco said.
"More like associates." Jarek said.
"Come on make it so, bro." Marco said.
"No, dude. We're just associates. That's all." Jarek said.
Jarek looked at the brewing stand, and saw it was halfway finished with cooking the potions.
"It's gonna be another 30 minutes before it's finished. I better go and see what's up with him." Jarek said before going into his warp pad.
(Fields of Anguish) - - Quan Chi's Fortress
Jarek appeared beside a broken telephone pole.
"What the? This isn't where I planted the warp pad.
"Welcome home, Jarek." Quan Chi said.
"This isn't my home. Where is Shinnok?" Jarek asked.
"Funny that you must ask, he came by here a while ago." Quan Chi said.
"Do you know where he went?" Jarek asked.
"He's in here." Quan Chi said, holding Shinnok's amulet in his left hand.
"What did you do to him?!" Jarek said, alarmed.
"I contained him, as you can see. I am ruler supreme now. His time is finished." Quan Chi said.
"Not while I'm breathin'." Jarek said.
"Yes, and then there's you. Don't you see that you've lost already? Without him by your side, you stand no chance against me." Quan Chi said.
"You knew I was coming here." Jarek said.
"Yes. Instead of coming here to challenge me, I'll make this offer to you : join me, and you can serve as my right hand man." Quan Chi offered.
"I already assist Shinnok. My allegiance won't change, not even for you." Jarek said.
"A pity." Quan Chi said.
Then he summoned an detainment field around Jarek.
Jarek grunted and tried to get out.
"A shame this must happen now." Quan Chi said, waving his hand to the right, which threw Jarek off the bridge, and to the endless pit.
Jarek exclaimed as he fell.
Quan Chi made a sinister laugh.
Then right as he turned around, Jarek was there suddenly.
(PUNCH!)
Quan Chi slid to the wall.
"But how?" He said.
"You clearly underestimated me. Your detainment field is useless against me." Jarek said.
Quan Chi jumped up to his feet, and blasted three projectile skulls at him.
Jarek teletported to him, and hit his stomach, and then the chin.
Quan Chi shoved Jarek, and began countering his fury of punches.
The two were blocking / throwing punches at each other. It was a little silly at this point.
Then Jarek kicked him in the stomach again, then threw a penumbral blast of stasis energy at him, freezing him in place.
Quan Chi was frozen as he hit the ground.
Jarek pulled out two knifes, and threw them at him.
Quan Chi as struck by the knifes.
Jarek focused his hamón energy, and charged up his power.
Quan Chi broke free from being frozen.
He got up, and summoned an arc shield around him.
He laughed again.
"[INCANTATION]"
Suddenly three skeletal warriors with swords came out of the bridge, and charged at Jarek with fury.
Jarek summoned a healing rift around him, which froze the skeletons right as they swung at him.
Jarek punched the first skeleton, shattering it, along with the other two following suite.
He quickly equipped the Vex mythoclast from earlier, and shot him several times, disabling his arc shield, and stunning him with a disruption frequency.
Jarke ran to him, and jumped up.
Quan Chi trembled, but grinned as he blasted a green wave of energy at him.
Jarek deflected it, and shot another penumbral blast at him.
Quan Chi tried to deflect it, but got frozen again.
Jarek punched him several times, dealing serious damage to him.
Quan Chi exclaimed as he was thrown to the wall.
Jarek grabbed him by the shoulder spike, and began wall punching him.
"Give me the amulet!" He said.
Quan Chi summoned an inflaming aura.
Jarek was struck by it, as he stepped back a few steps, healing himself of the aura.
Quan Chi grabbed the amulet, and tried blasting him.
The amulet shook, and electrocuted him.
"(Being buzzed) Ohh! This was not supposed to happen!" Quan Chi dropped the amulet, causing it roll to the side.
Jarek jumped forward and caught it right before it could fall off.
Quan Chi maintained himself, and swung his leg with the intent to hit his face, but hit his shoulder as Jarek had started getting up.
Jarek punched his shin, making him hold it in pain.
Jarek backed away, and got up.
Quan Chi summon a worm hole with both hands.
Jarek blastd the worm hole, causing a boom.
Uh oh.
(Outside view)
[EXPLOSION!]
(Grounds)
Jarek got up, seeing the amulet to his right side.
Quan Chi was getting up, badly hurt.
Jarek crawled to the amulet, and slammed his hand on it. Quan Chi reached for it.
Jarek fired a charged blast of dark energy at Quan Chi's head, blasting a hole right through, killing him.
"Too de loo, bitch." Jarek said, getting up. He was badly hurt too, but not as bad.
There were chunks of the fortress all around him.
"[Incantation]" Jarek said to the amulet.
Then it struck an energy, reforming Shinnok. Once he was whole again, he fell to his knees and panted.
"You alright, man?" Jarek said, helping him get up.
"I've been better." Shinnok said.
"I thought I lost you for good, man. I gotta get you back to your temple." Jarek said.
"Your efforts in this are well appreciated." Shinnok said.
"You can just thank you. It's not hard." Jarek said.
"I'll say it whenever I think it's necessary." Shinnok said.
"Okay. Okay." Jarek said.
"But that was one." Shinnok said. He looked over at Quan Chi. "What a shame, he was my ally for a very long time. A pity he turned against me, well done on dealing with him."
The two walked from the ruins.
"So what does this mean now? I mean, you're all banged up, you can come and rest at my house for now." Jarek said.
"I have a wife at home for that." Shinnok said.
"Yeah. I hope she's still alright." Jarek said.
"Quan Chi captured me, but she got away. I know where she is, and I must go to her. Go back to earth, I will call for you when I am more rested." Shinnok said.
"Yes, Shinnok." Jarek said.
He went back to the warp pad, that was right beside the fortress, near the now broken wall.
(Jarek's House)
Jarek reappeared through the warp pad.
Robo was munching on a chunk of chocolate cake. He had a mess on his mouth.
"It's been too long since I've had this chocolaty delight!" Robo said.
"Is your mechanical body compatible with ingesting foods such as that?" Jarek asked.
"Of course. I added a digestive system to my body. Self maintenance is always fun to do." Robo said.
"Oh okay. So I guess you're all alright then?" Jarek asked.
"Yes siree bob!" Robo said.
"Nice. Nice. I'm gonna go freshen up, and pay a visit to Holly." Jarek said.
"Don't get the pow pow." Marco said.
"Since when does she spank others?" Jarek said.
"For bad behavior." Marco said.
"Yes yes. There'll be plenty of that going on." Jarek said.
