Chapter 2 Roaring Thunder
I don't own Kamen Rider Hibiki or Mortal Kombat
Hibiki stands in the arena after defeating Scorpion, everyone was stunned since he was now an Oni, Raiden wondered the reason for the Elder Gods choosing an oni as they're champion but he will accept they're choice since Hibiki is a honorable warrior, Sonya and Johnny were surprised while Quan Chi wondered what kind of Oni Hibiki is.
"Congratulations Hiro but it seems you're true natures has been revealed."Shang Tsung said."now for your next opponent Nightwolf."
Nightwolf walks towards the arena and said:"you are a strong warrior and your different than the onis that I have known."
"I am a different breed but I will simply show you my skills."Hibiki said with his Ongekibou Rekka ready and Nightwolf nodded.
"Begin."Shang Tsung said.
Nightwolf summons two green axes and starts to fight Hibiki who was countering with his Rekkas, Hibiki then shoots fire at Nightwolf who backed away and then summons a bow, he then shoots green arrows that Hibiki blocked with his rekkas, Hibiki then jumps to the air and taps the rekkas together summoning fire and then shoots fireballs and they hit Nightwolf, he got sent back and then Hibiki appears in front of him and starts to hit him multiple times with the rekkas and then kicks Nightwolf away, Nightwolf gets up and then summons a bolt of lighting that made Hibiki jump away and then he sends more while Hibiki dodges them, Hibiki then runs at nightwolf and then his hands turned into claws and he then starts to claw at him mutliple times and then gives him a strong punch in the face sending him to the ground winning him the match.
"You fought well."Hibiki said.
Hibiki helped Nightwolf and he thanked him, he then left with Hibiki helmet vanishing revealing his head, he then goes to Sonya and Johnny cage.
"Dude, how did you do that?"Johnny said.
"Well I'm not human, as what they said I'm an Oni."Hiro said.
"Oni, like the demons from the books?"Johnny said.
"Oh no, my kind is different we protect humans and we use sound as a weapon."Hiro said.
"I saw, those drumsticks were interesting that they can summon fire."Sonya said.
"It's what I learned like theres three different types of Oni's each using a different styles that grants them a different element."Hiro explained.
"Even being a Oni your still Hiro to me."Sonya said with a smile and he smiled too.
"How does he do that?"Johnny said since Hiro got Sonya's attention.
Hiro then saw Raiden talking to Scorpion in the side lines, he knew what he might be asking and he said:"excuse me."he then leaves.
He goes to a empty spot and then takes out a disk animal since this one will help him, he then sensed a familiar presence and said:"I know your here."
Then from a tree came Kamen Rider Shuki, he then shoots a energy blast from her harp and Hiro gots his rekkas and stops the attack, she then lands and stares at Hiro.
"Li Mei, stop this you'll call unwanted attention."Hiro said.
Shuki helmet then vanished revealing Li Mei's face and she said:"sorry master, I just wanted to test out my skills."she then bow to him.
"I know we didn't spar in a few days but you shouldn't use your oni form like that, we must keep that a secret if Shang Tsung finds out they will go after you and your village."Hiro said.
"Yes I know, I'm trying to get stronger so that I can protect them, but in order to do that, I need to be with you."Li Mei said.
"Very well, but stick to the shadows and don't let anyone find you."Hiro said and she nodded.
Hiro still remembers when they first met, before joining the tournament the Elder Gods sent him there to find a fake champion and stop him, he tried to find him while hidding his presence but he lost him, then in the middle of the woods he found Li Mei training alone she saw him and thought he was a Netherrealm oni so she challenged him and was defeated, after explaining who he is to her she asked him for training and Hiro thought about it and accepted, he trained her for a while and made her into a Oni giving her the power of Shuki.
Hiro then went back to the throne room and saw Scorpion drag Sub-Zero to the Netherrealm, Hiro got worried and runs back out, he then takes out a portal stone and uses it to transport himself to the Netherrealm, he arrived at the realm and goes to find Scorpion and Sub Zero, he finds them along with Quan Chi, Sub Zero was in his knees injured and Quan Chi showed him fake image of Sub Zero killing his clan and family he needs to stop this so he takes out the disk animal.
Scorpion was preparing to kill Sub Zero but then they heard a noise and looked up to see a Akane Taka flying towards them.
"What is that creature?"Quan chi said.
It then stopped and then showed them a recording and it showed instead of Sub Zero it was Quan Chi with his sword slashing at Scorpions family.
Scorpion was shocked and then looks at Quan Chi with anger.
"What you believe in a small creature over the one that helped you."Quan Chi said.
"Maybe if that small creature was given memories from the Elder Gods."they looked to see Hiro.
"You."Quan Chi said.
"Yes, the images are from the Elder Gods themselves Scorpion, Sub Zero didn't kill your family Quan Chi did, he used you as a pawn."Hiro said.
"You dare use me."Scorpion said pointing at Quan Chi.
He then takes off his mask and tries to burn him but then Quan Chi escaped by teleporting away avoiding to fight him, Scorpion then looks at Hiro and bowed to him.
Back In Shang Tsung throne room everyone waited then Scorpion appeared with Sub-Zero alive and holding onto his shoulder with Hiro, Raiden smilled while Shang Tsung frowned.
Cyrax approached Sub-Zero and helped him and said:"Sub-Zero are you okay?"
"Yes I have lost but I live thanks to him."Sub-Zero said pointing at Hiro.
"Thank you."Cyrax said to them.
"Your welcome."Hiro said.
Scorpion walked away then Raiden walks up to them and said:"You were very fortunate to be alive if it wasn't for Hiro, your life would have ended."
"Yes but he would have avenged him."Cyrax said.
"The Lin Kuei have history of making ruinous choices."Raiden said.
Cyrax helped Sub-Zero walk to a room and then Raiden said:"Such as the cyber initiative."
They stopped and look at him and Cyrax said."We are among of those speaking against the grand master's plans, surgically transforming the Lin Kuei into glorified robots, it kills our instincts."
"Yes that is not the Lin Kuei's purpose."Sub-Zero said.
"Did you both speak againt's the Lin kuei's participation in this tournament."Raiden said to them.
"We were invited by Shang Tsung."Cyrax said.
"He pays you to kill Earthrealms warriors, betraying your own realm I expected better even from an assassin."Raiden said to them making team Eclipse shock.
"Our Loyalty is to the grand Master."Cyrax said as he walked away with Sub-Zero.
"Wait."Hiro said stopping them."if you follow this path you will be in danger, choose your path before it's too late, what is more important the grandmaster or your lives."
That made Cyrax thin but he continued foward.
Hiro was now outside then he saw Cyrax arriving alone he looks at him and goes to talk with Sektor and Shang Tsung.
"Sektor we need to talk, our host tried to have me killed."Cyrax said to him.
"You were speaking with the thunder god, your indiscretion has jeopardized my plan."Shang Tsung said.
"Cyrax is Lin Kuei, he will complete his task."Sektor said to Shang Tsung.
"We shall see, the next match will be Cyrax versus Johnny Cage."Shang Tsung said.
"What me, alright then."Johnny said as he walks to the arena."Not everyone get's to rumble with a celebrity, ready for your beatdown sunshine?"
Johnny charges at Cyrax with a punch which Cyrax blocked, then Johnny goes for a kick and Cyrax dodges it and punches him away, the he throws a explosive at him damaging Johnny and Johnny recovers and uses a charged kick but Cyrax blocks it and used a combo of punches then throws him into the ground.
"That should shut you up."Cyrax said.
Then he grabbed Johnny by the neck and brings him up and raises his fist.
"Finish him."Shang Tsung said.
Cyrax then looked at them Raiden and Hiro who shook they're heads.
Cyrax thought for a moment and said:"I won't kill him."and puts Johnny down.
Cyrax walks away as Sektor looks at him with anger Hiro noticed this and follows them to the place that he fought with Sonya, while hidding behind a rock Hiro saw Cyrax and Sektor talking.
"You were commanded to kill Johnny Cage, you disobeyed"Sektor said to Cyrax.
"I eliminated him from the tournament, he didn't need to die."Cyrax said.
"You have broken your oath."Sektor said.
"I used my judgement."Cyrax countered.
"The cyber initiative will eliminate insubordination."Sektor said.
"We are not machines Sektor, I chose to serve the Lin Kuei, but I will not surrender my free will."Cyrax said.
Then Sektor was attacked by a ice blast sending him to the floor and the attacker was Sub-Zero.
"Sub-Zero."Cyrax said.
"I made my choice." said making Cyrax nod.
"No one leaves the Lin Kuei."Sektor said then Cyrax kick him.
"Now what where will we go?"Cyrax said.
"Let me help you with that."They saw Hiro walking towards them and they nodded.
Hiro then wistled and from the trees came Shuki surprising them.
"Another one."Sub Zero said.
"Shuki take them to a safe place until the tournament is over."Hiro said and Shuki nodded so they followed her.
After some time later Hiro was back in Shang Tsung's throne room.
"Kombatants I present this latest creation of Shao Kahn, he is many warriors, their souls fused into one being."Shang Tsung said while a warrior in red and black came to the arena.
"Behold Ermac."Ermac shows off his power and everyone was impressed.
"Hiro Hidaka, you are one of the few warriors of Earthrealm to progress to the final stage of the tournament and shall fight him."Shang Tsung said.
"Very well."Hiro said with the helmet appearing again and he goes to face Ermac.
"We are many, you are one, we will destroy you."Ermac said in mulitple voices.
Hibiki then charges at Ermac who then sends him back with a force push, he gets up and then summons his rekkas, he then taps them and shots fire balls that makes Ermac block them while he tries to get close, Ermac then starts to block most of Hibiki's attacks from the rekkas but then pushes him away and then uses his powers to lift him up and slams him to the ground multiple times, he then sends Hibiki away making him land on te groud damaged, he gets up and he saw Shang Tsung smirk.
"Well your strong but."Hibiki said and he his helmet came off."I have more skills up my sleeve."he then summons a bracer to his left arm surprising them, he then opens it revealing three strings, he then pulls them and places the bracer over his head making the face appear on his forehead, then from the window came a bolt of lighting that hit Hiro and he tranformed again into Kamen Rider Zanki.
They were surprised and he then runs towards Ermac, Ermac tries to his powers but Zanki jumps to the sky and then brings his arms up, froma eletrical surge came the Ongeki Shingen Retsuzan, he then brings it down and slashes Ermac with it.
"Wow, sweat guitar."Johnny said.
Zanki then hits Ermac a couple of times, Ermac then blocked it with his arms but that gave Zanki his chance, he then charges his right fist with electricity and then punches Ermac in the gut, Ermac grunts and he couldn't move, Zanki then stabs Ermac with the point of the guitar and then turns his back to him, he then takes out the Ongekishin Zantetsu while opening the guitar and he placed it in.
"Ongeki Zan: Raiden Zanshin."Zanki said and then plays the guitar, he plays at a highspeed sending a wave of sound through Ermac's body, after playing the last cord Ermac then exploded making him fall to the ground.
"I win."Zanki said.
Zanki then goes to the others and Johnny said:"dude awesome, who knew rocking out could be a weapon."
Sonya grunts at Johnny words and Zanki said:"thanks, so what do you think?"he looks at Sonya."
"It's was fine."Sonya said.
"Really just fine?"Jax asked her with a grin and she then punched his arm.
After that match Hiro was back in his casual clothes and was training in the garden, he then sensed someone and it was not Li Mei, he ducks down and saw it was Kitana who tried to hit him, he then blocks her punch and then a kick, he then grabs her arms and looks at her.
"Impressive your very talented as when we first met, show me more."Hiro said.
"Do not underestimate me Oni."Kitana said and she prepared to fight.
Kitana throws multiple punches that Hiro countered and then he knees her in the gut and then kicks her away, She then charges at him with her fans out and tries to slash him, Hiro dodges her attacks and then summons hi knife stopping her fans and then kicks them away, he then grabs her and judo flips her to the ground.
"I'm impressed."Hiro said.
Kitana got up on her knees and said:"do it."
"Do what exatly?"Hiro asked.
"Kill me."Kitana said.
"Why?"Hiro said.
"I have failed my father my emperor."Kitana said while looking down.
"Ah yes, Shao Kahn is your father."Hiro said but he knew the truth.
"I have disgraced him, you must kill me."Kitana said.
"Actually we never saw each other, so you didn't disgraced him."Hiro said surprising her.
"What?"Kitana said.
"You heard me, maybe next time we'll get to talk since your a interesting one."Hiro said and then he leaves her alone.
Kitana was left there and then Shuki lands next to her making her get up.
"Who are you?"Kitana said.
Shuki helmet then vanished revealing Li Mei surprisng her.
"Li Mei, your an Oni?"Kitana asked.
"I am now, but I saw you fighting Hiro, I know doing this will make you mad but he's a nice guy and a great teacher, so maybe you should listen to his offer, also you never saw me."Li Mei said and Kitana nodded.
Li Mei then left her making Kitana wonder how did she become an oni.
Note:Hiro transformed into Zanki and Li Mei appeared, in this version she's Hiro's students so she became an Oni through training and he gave her Shuki, Kitana fought Hiro instead of Liu Kang making her get instered in him instead, you can guess who the fake champion and the timeline follows a bit more the original along with the new games.
