A/N: And we're back! Last time on Gone but Not Forgotten, Benji committed infidelity with Sareena after she convinced him to sleep with her. Instead of immediately seeing that scene's aftermath, we're going to shift back to Callie for this chapter as per usual.

Day 2 of the Second MK Tournament: 11:30 A.M.: Shao Kahn's Palace
Callie's POV
I'm glad we freed Ermac from Shao Kahn's control. I can only imagine how much torture he endured to even be constructed. Plus, papa's soul now keeps the others in check which eases mom's restlessness. After everything she went through before reuniting with Benji and myself, she needed that. Add to Jade being practically engaged with my brother, she might be thinking about being a mother in law. Seeing as mom from what I can tell is a family woman, I wouldn't be surprised. As we continue our trek through the palace, Kung Lao gently squeezed my arm to get my attention. I look at my boyfriend before studying the room we're all in. No one's around. Lao must've noticed this too, hence why he got my attention.
"What's wrong?" I ask my boyfriend.
He shook his head. "Nothing. But since nobody is around, I was wondering if you can tell me a little about yourself. Ms. Mai practically knows everything about you since she's your mother, but I do not have the same luxury. Please indulge me, Callie."
Ah, he wants to know more of my history. Makes sense seeing as it immediately reminded me of when Kenshi told Benji and myself that we were enigmatic by nature. It wasn't our fault. We're pretty much a couple of Ravens in a flock of crows. We may look the same at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are a couple of things that set us apart. I nod before sitting on the floor, motioning for Lao to do the same along with mom.
"What do you wish to know? I'll be an open book since it's you who I'm talking to," I proclaimed.
"Well then," mom started. "Tell us about your time with Special Forces. How did you become General in such a short time?"
"When Raiden brought me to Special Forces HQ to enlist, I was told I had to complete Basic Training first. He explained to the Sergeant it would be redundant for me to go through the eight-week course as I already had Army experience. Turns out Raiden used my history as General of the Freedom Fighters to created docs that coaligned with the Army."
"Did you still had to do it?" Lao asked.
I nod. "Yes. But it was only to determine what position in the infantry I would be given since the Army history Raiden handed them summed up my track record of leading and infantry roles. Because I was pretty much a Private, which is the greenest of green ranks, I couldn't take a command position yet. After completing Basic Training with top marks, the Sarge called me to his office.
Trigger Flashback: Twenty-seven years ago, two weeks after Benji and Callie arrive in Earthrealm
"Sergeant, this is Private Maddox. Requesting entry." I recited my reporting statement.
"Request granted, Private. Come in." The Sarge commanded.
I walked in but maintain a rigid posture since he is my superior and my bosses' boss.
"At ease, Private," he told me before motioning at one of the open chairs. "Take a seat."
I sat down, but my nervousness makes a small reappearance but still enough for him to pick up on. "I told you at ease, didn't I, Private Maddox?" he calmly repeated.
"Yes, Sergeant Michaels," I answered, relaxing afterward.
"Very good. Now, I looked over your results from Basic Training. I must say I'm impressed. The other Privates and even some of the higher-ups think that you're superhuman, myself included," he praised.
"Thank you, Sergeant Michaels," I responded in disbelief. "But I get a feeling there's a 'but' coming."
"Nothing gets by you Private. You have outstanding stamina, a very keen sense of perception, and your senses are top-notch. However, you have quite the case of hubris. To be frank, if that were your only flaw, then I wouldn't mind as much. Confidence is a good thing to have in oneself, and you have a healthy amount of it. But my glaring issue is your restlessness. You are quite impatient, and don't work well with others." he berated. "Do you have a sibling?"
"I have an older brother, Sergeant, a Medical Doctor who also has Army experience as a Battle Medic. He's currently in China teaching Monks." I replied.
"I see. Success must be a family trait if I took anything away from that." Sergeant Michaels eyed me curiously. "You trust each other, do you not?"
"Of course, Sergeant. We saved each other's lives countless times. I rely on him because I know he has my back." I answered, earning a silent nod from the Sarge.
"Now that makes sense. Still, you need to work on your patience, and I have just the position for that."
End Flashback:
"So what position did the Sergeant give you?" Lao asked, interest clearly piqued.
"Sniper, which I couldn't even fathom at the time. Why give the most abrasive, loud soldier the quietest position? But from the moment I picked up on the job and the various difficulties surrounding it, I learned that he chose that position to help build my character. Additionally, it's the hardest job an infantryman can have. It's a Scout's trade but twice as difficult. I did everything a Head Scout can, but then I had to learn how to pick off certain people, shoot to harm instead of intending to kill. I also studied various terminology, wind manipulation, sound masking, and rangefinding. Being a sniper requires a mental psyche since you'll be staying in one spot for hours, if not days. That's where I got POI, Spotter, Perch Point from." I explained as best I could.
"Wow," mom remarked in awe. "You must've learned a lot from being a Sniper then. I've learned just from the story."
"So have I," Lao interjected. "I noticed from the monastery that Kitana had it out for you. Why is there so much bitterness between you two?"
Somehow, I knew that question was coming. "Oh, that. During the first tournament, I was wandering around the Pit, and Kitty attacked me for being out during the curfew period. I beat her rather easily, not to mention besting her and Jade with Sonya's help the day before. Needless to say that Kitty holds a grudge and I don't think me being an Edenian like her really helped at all. Plus, I don't trust her despite her defection. Likewise, Kitty doesn't trust me because I tease and treat her like a bratty child," I bluntly answered. "But I guess we'll have to get along if Benji and Jade do become an item. At this point, it's probably already happened."
"Speaking of Jade," mom intercepted. "Are you aware that she may move in with you, Sareena and your brother?"
"I anticipated that would be the case as well as you and Lao if Raiden allows it. So to answer your question, yes. I'm not going to argue with Benji about after I gave him my approval to pursue her in the first place. Also, with that bounty on our heads, Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung might use Jade against Benji, if they were smart enough to think of that plan," I finished.
Mom nodded her head. "Very good. Now, before we leave, we should devise a plan on how to attack Shao Kahn at his weakest point. Any ideas, dear?"
"And are you going to participate in the tournament yourself?" Lao asked another question. "Ms. Mai and I already had a couple of matches against some of his foot soldiers."
"I plan on it," I told them. "But I want to find Benji first. As much as I have faith that he's ok, I want to see him in person before heading to the Kolisseum. However, since Jade's with him, there should be nothing to worry about." I eye them both seriously. "You two can go on ahead if that's where this is headed, but I stand by my decision. I have a feeling Benji's nearby and I don't want to deal with Shao Kahn until after I find him." I made my point perfectly clear before glancing at my boyfriend. "Plus, Raiden is likely wondering where you are. You should find him and tell him what happened, our relationship excluded, of course. From the time I've known him, he is a worrywart."
"I will not argue with you, daughter," mom agreed with my plan. "Kung Lao and I will travel to the Kolisseum at once. I can intervene on your behalf if Raiden gains an attitude." We all stand, but before going our separate ways, my mother grasped both my shoulders. "I know you've done things like this before Callie Ann, but do be careful. Ok, sweetie?"
"Of course, mom. Especially now that I can see you again." I answered before giving her a sincere hug that she immediately returned.
I locked eyes with Kung Lao. Over the past day or so, he's matured in ways I never thought possible. Sadly, we have to split up for the time being. Though I'm confident, part of me worried that I wouldn't see Lao again, just as our relationship was beginning to blossom. No, don't talk that way, Callie Ann! We're all going to get through this!
Slowly, I approached him. "Be safe, ok? I don't want to lose you either."
Lao gave me a warm smile. "Always, my Princess."
He then confidently kissed my cheek. Thank Argus Benji wasn't here to see this. I think I would've died of embarrassment if he saw this in person. As the pair left, I inhale a deep breath before going in the opposite direction, dead set on finding my brother.
As I continued my search for Benji, I noticed something was off. I can hear the sounds of battle ringing in the Coliseum in the distance, but the Palace itself is looking pretty empty. Save for the guards who worked at the Dead Pool, I never saw any foot soldiers in person. I say that because I spotted foot soldiers during my sniping prance in the Living Forest. I wonder where they could have gone?
As I enter the Throne room, I hide behind a pillar. No one is present, but it never hurts to be safe. I kneel down to better conceal myself. Within moments, I hear footsteps. Weird, I didn't catch anyone walking, nor felt their presence coming behind me on top of that. Was I starting to psyche myself out?
Trusting my gut, I quickly brandish my knife and whirl around. The blade stopped near the person's neck, halting any chance for them to ambush me. Looking up, I see a woman dressed in a teal bodysuit possessing white hair, her skin transparent with her vitals showing.
Talk about abnormal, even for Outworld standards.
"You've got fifteen seconds to tell me who you are and why you're following me or else I will be slitting your throat, Outworlder." I threatened. "Now talk!"
"Hold, General. I'm not an enemy," she told me. "My name is Khameleon. I'm a Zaterran warrior forced to work for the Outworld army after my home realm was konquered by Shao Kahn and his men. But I'm really a double agent aligning myself with Earthrealm due to Master Bo' Rai Cho. He helped trained me so that I can defend myself against Shao Kahn's army." She quickly explained.
No way was I taking any chances. I slowly withdraw my knife away from her throat, allowing her to relax her posture. But this Khameleon wasn't getting off the hook that easy.
"Why did you sneak up on me? And for how long?" I demanded.
"Since you, Kung Lao, and Mai Maddox entered the Palace. I can camouflage into the background and completely silence any noise I make, akin to that of a chameleon," Khameleon explained.
"Yeah, I get that part." I intercepted her. "But you still didn't answer the first question."
"I'm here to ask for help. You must take me to Raiden, so I may properly defect," Khameleon urged me. "I'm done with Outworld after attempting to do what I came here for. Sadly for me, it didn't bode well." She answered.
I shook my head. "Sorry, but you couldn't have picked a worse time to find me. I just sent my mother and my partner to the Coliseum to join the Mortal Kombat tournament. Go to Raiden and pledge your allegiance if you really are who you say you are. As for me, I'm looking for someone. So I can't go to the Coliseum yet."
"Who is that someone?" Khameleon asked.
"My older brother," I replied. "We both came to Outworld together in Earthrealm's defense, but due to an unexpected mistake, we were separated on arrival. I've been looking for him since, fighting anyone to make sure I don't get taken to Shao Kahn unwillingly. And I guarantee he's doing the same for me." I sheath my knife away, already pissed that I wasted too much time. "Now if you excuse me, Khameleon. I have a brother to find."
I start for the exit doors, but Khameleon stops me by grabbing my arm. For a stranger, she's already getting on my nerves. "Khameleon, Do I have to hurt you after all?" I rhetorically asked, losing my short patience as it is.
"No," she replied honestly. "I wish to go with you."
"I can't have you holding me back. Plus, we just met, which means that you've done nothing to earn my trust. I don't mean that in a demeaning way, this is how I normally act to anyone, especially if I'm on the job. But me telling you to find Raiden shows that I'm willing to see what you do with what you told me. If you are sincere and genuine, then I look forward to working with you in the future. But for now, I must be going." I told the Saurian.
"I understand," she finally relented. "Where would I find Raiden?"
"He's most likely at the Coliseum overseeing the tournament, making sure Shao Kahn doesn't pull any foul play," I responded.
Khameleon nodded in approval before her body began to disappear. "I will look for him at once. Best of luck, General Maddox. We'll speak again soon."
Just like that, she was gone. I felt a chill run up my spine.
"Odd. Best keep going for now." I say to myself as I leave the Throne room.
The next room over was another hall, walls painted in blue, lit torches springing across to light my pathway. As I surveyed the room, I notice one of my boots untied. Can't save the world with an untied shoe, so I kneeled down and start tying it.
"I was wondering when I'd see you again."
I look up and see her. Skarlet.
Another sigh leaves me before going back to tying my shoe. "Skarlet," I calmly said her name. "What brings you here?"
I wasn't expecting an actual answer to my sarcasm, but Skarlet gave me one. "I came to redeem myself. The last time we fought, you utterly embarrassed me. Not to mention ignoring me entirely during our last encounter."
From that tone, it sounded like I genuinely hurt her feelings. Funny, I personally thought Outworlders didn't care for things like that all that much.
Brushing the thought aside, I finish tying my shoe before standing, my eyes flashing with indignation. "And what's your point, Skarlet? I have more important things to do than entertain your psyche. I should've realized that when we fought in the Living Forest. As much as I would love to flirt with and embarrass you some more, I don't have the time or patience." I stepped forward and brushed against Skarlet's shoulder. "Now step aside."
To my aggravation, I hear footsteps pick up in pace. Instinctively, I ducked a swipe from Skarlet's dagger that barely shaved off the tip of my ponytail. I move backward to create distance between us. Looks like my mission will have to wait.
"I'll take that as a no then," I muttered.
Skarlet's smirk was one of malicious intent. "What's wrong, Callie Ann? You gave me the spotlight in the Living Forest, and now you just wish to brush me aside as if I were an old toy?" I noticed an uptick in anger from her voice along, her body language did the same. "You take me as a One Night Stand? You think I'm not worth your time like Shao Khan does!? Answer me, General!"
This is not good. Perhaps this was how Tanya felt after I abused her all those years ago, and probably why Benji had a hard time fighting her. Maybe this is an opportunity to turn her to Earthrealm's side. For once, talking may be the better option here.
I softened my gaze at the redhead. "Hey, I shouldn't have said it that way." To show my sincerity, I peacefully raised my hands high to let Skarlet see that I don't want a fight. Let alone I can't afford one now. "Let's skip the fighting and just talk for a minute. Fair?"
Unfortunately for me, Skarlet wasn't buying my attempt at a truce, her silent fury growing. "Drop your firearms and draw your dagger."
"Skarlet-"
"Do it!" Skarlet yelled. "The weapons you carry on your back will slow you down, and I'm giving you a chance to even the odds. I want our dance to be special."
So much for trying this Benji's way.
I sigh deeply before complying to the demands, placing both guns against the wall. After making sure they were situated, I slowly brandish my knife. Something told me this fight will be more brutal and ruthless than the last time we crossed paths. Skarlet's glare tells me she's probably going to kill me without remorse. I know a murderous intent when I feel it.
"Good. Now," Skarlet gestured for me to engage with a single finger. "Come to me, Callie Ann."
That subtone made my heart skip a beat, just like at the Living Forest. I look down at my free hand, only to find it shaking again. Just who the hell is this woman? And why is she making me feel this way?
Swallowing my fury, I clenched my hand as I gradually march to her position. This got Skarlet to smile, one that I'll wipe off shortly. The distance between us is reduced to a mere few feet. I noticed the difference in height, Skarlet a couple of inches shorter than me although I'm not that tall and that her heels granted her a few more inches.
"Now what?" I inquired, my voice dangerously low.
"We have some fun." Skarlet simply answered.
Quicker than I anticipated, she swung her dagger for my neck. I parry it and swipe for her nose. But she dodges my arm as she tries to kick my knee to alter my balance. Luckily, I cut it off with my shin pushing her away.
Skarlet quickly pounced on me, both of us crashing to the floor with her on top. What really threw me off was what she did while straddling my waist. Instead of attacking, Skarlet started groping my breast with her free hand, her eyes widening with euphoric pleasure as my flesh filled her hand. I wasn't having any of that bullshit. I connected my foot to her chest, forcing Skarlet off me. I kip-up, brushing myself off.
"Are we fighting or not, Skarlet!?" I was rightfully livid.
"Shut up," Skarlet told me off, breathing syncopated. "I said I was having fun, wasn't I? Besides, you're the one who made me like this."
"Me!?" I retaliated.
"Precisely; when you slashed my clothes which revealed my chest. Add to that, you blew a kiss before fleeing. You made me question my loyalty to the Emperor! And then when he started ignoring me completely after Mileena's construction, I was brushed aside just like when I was a little girl. It was Shao Kahn who took me in and raised me, teaching me Blood Magic. "She approached me, and I warily take up a stance. "By taking you to him, he'll give me the approval I crave."
"That was my fault, huh?" I rhetorically ask, already knowing the answer. "It was an accident, I swear. Only now do realize that I'm quite the pervert. But I didn't mean to do that intentionally. It just happened." So far, we've fought to a standstill, but I could tell this was only the beginning as I ready myself. "Like you would believe me anyway. From the look of things, you want me dead."
My words must be getting to Skarlet because, for a moment, she looked conflicted. Quickly has that happened, she brushed those inklings aside, dashing at me with her dagger outstretched. The blade nicked my Duster, cutting a piece of it off. Immediately I got an attitude.
"Hey! Benji made this Duster for me!" I growled. "You better be careful about where you swing!"
Skarlet chuckled before attacking me, and I notice she was going to swipe at my Duster again. This bitch is going to get herself killed. However, it was a feint. Skarlet made me pay by grasping my shoulders to deliver a punishing knee to my gut. Blood spilled out of my mouth, but she did it again, even more landing on the hallway floor. In retaliation, I elbowed Skarlet's stomach, swiping my knife to slice her cheekbone. She staggered back, her hand touching the fresh wound. I playfully touched the little scar she gave me back at the Living Forest.
"Now we match," I say sarcastically.
Angrily, Skarlet sprinted and swung at me multiple times, swiftly making a blood scythe from her wound. She swiped down, barely catching the left sleeve of my Duster. Annoyed, I ripped it off, revealing my bare left arm, not a scratch thankfully. I was losing patience with Skarlet despite wanting to talk with her, but I realize I'm going to have to calm her down first.
I need to end this right now.
Our weapons clashed once more, the stinging sound of steel echoing across the hall. Seeing a brief opening, I nick Skarlet's arm to weaken the grip on her dagger. Putting the pressure on, I spiral her arms in a continuous struggle, but because of her wound, I was winning the exchange. My sudden upgrade in strength shocked my opponent.
"Since when you were this strong?" Skarlet inquired perplexingly.
"You've been played." Was my sole response before I disarmed her, the dagger flying to where my guns stood. I land a final strike on her chest cavity (making sure not to cut her clothes this time) before punching Skarlet's nose, the blow flooring her for good.
I greatly underestimated Skarlet though I defeated her, my fatigue from this clash far more significant than I anticipated as I'm down on all fours wheezing. Not what I'm accustomed to since I beat most of my foes without breaking a sweat. I guess this is Benji's way of telling me never to underestimate an opponent regardless of skill level.
Skarlet slowly got up and managed to get to one knee. "You're extremely adept at Kombat for an Edenian."
Never expected flattery from one of Shao Kahn's lackeys. "I can say the same for you, Skarlet. We probably could've been friends if you weren't Shao Kahn's domestic." With great difficulty, I rise to my feet, a couple of dry heaves leaving me. "Why serve under him when he was possibly the one who had your old family killed?"
I'm not sure how, but Skarlet somehow used her remaining vitality to stand upright. "I wouldn't expect you to understand. You're from Edenia, a part of the Realms' upper-echelon. I grew up poor, and it was Shao Kahn who saved me from the wastes. He told me you grew up in Edenia under the loving eye of your parents."
Why does she have to say it like that? It's almost like a slap to the face to criticize my race the way Skarlet did. She must have some inner disdain for us. Why? I honestly don't know, but I'm about to find out.
"A partial truth, Skarlet." I steady myself despite the loss of blood from our battle. "Benji and I lost our parents when we were children, and for more than six millennia, we were not only dirt poor, but homeless entirely. The only difference is that you didn't have a sibling like me to keep you grounded. As expected, Shao Kahn has fed you lies, Skarlet."
The woman looked lost after my explanation, to which I couldn't blame her. "Why didn't he tell me that? I'm his daughter!"
I shook my head at the blindness shielding Skarlet from the truth. "He's a manipulator, possibly holding all kinds of secrets from you and Kitty."
"Kitty?" Skarlet didn't know whom I was referring to by that nickname.
"Kitana," I clarified. "Also, you said he told you everything about Blood Magic, right? Then why do you need to consume blood every chance you get? Benji knows Soul Magic but doesn't necessarily need it to survive."
My words struck a chord with Skarlet in some strange way because her eyes replaced the feeling of anger and rage with another emotion entirely; anguish. "But… why would he do this to me?"
Skarlet fell to her knees. I honestly felt terrible for the woman even if she is working for Shao Kahn for who knows how many years. However, she needed to know the truth about him as I'm sure Kitana had to. Speaking of Kitty, I hope she isn't pestering my brother about his and Jade's relationship. Otherwise, I may need to act on their behalf. Damn, I forgot about Sareena too. This whole thing is getting out of control. Hopefully, that didn't get physical.
"I told you, you're his domestic, so he has to keep you on a tight leash. Not completing your training was done on purpose so Shao Kahn can maintain your loyalty, a basic war strategy," I explained.
My method of merely conversing with this dangerous enemy seemed to be working as Skarlet hasn't tried to lash out and take the rest of my blood, which would surely kill me with the amount I've already lost to her powers. I hope there's some measure of redemption for her. I'd hate to have Skarlet executed for following that bastard's bidding after he hid the truth from her for so long.
"Why… why tell me all of this?" Skarlet asked. "I tried to kill you multiple times, Callie Ann, yet you spare me at every possible opportunity."
Even I'm confused as to why I've spared Skarlet countless times. Enemies like her wouldn't get a second thought from me, a couple of bullets through their heads made sure of that. As much as I didn't want to admit, there was something different about Skarlet than the rest of them, but I couldn't decipher what. I make my way over to her beaten body and kneeled to her level.
"I honestly don't know, but from the moment I first saw you, I felt something I never really felt before. You don't have to feel the same way as I do, but I feel as though I can care for you. If you don't, then I guess I have a habit of falling for people who attempted to kill me. I may know a couple of people who can fix your problem, but that's a decision I'll leave in your hands. One thing learned from my brother is that you should never force anything on anyone."
Silence overtook the atmosphere before Skarlet bluntly said, "No."
Disappointment wracked my face at her supposed answer. "Oh, okay, then I'll just leave the-" I was about to leave her be when I felt her hand grab my arm.
"You misunderstand, Callie Ann," Skarlet said. "I'm a fool for not seeing Shao Kahn's deception sooner. I should have noticed from Mileena's conception that he would never favor me."
Her statement gave me a sense of hope. Maybe now she realizes that doing Shao Kahn's will no longer benefit her. With this in mind, I help Skarlet get to her feet.
"Thank you, Callie Ann," she thanked me.
I nod. "No problem, Skarlet."
I go to get our things, but I noticed that she had her hands around my arm. "You have some blood on your lip."
Immediately, I feel my lip to see if she was telling the truth, but Skarlet stopped me. "Allow me."
In a surprise move, Skarlet hungrily sucked on my bottom lip, her arms coiling around my shoulders. I slowly returned the embrace, brushing off her terrible excuse to kiss me. I moan audibly, her soft lips continuing its stranglehold on mine. Skarlet took advantage of my vulnerability by pushing me against the nearest wall, her hands pinning my arms above my head. She started to softly suck on my tongue before breaking off the kiss, her face matching her namesake.
"Thanks to you, Callie Ann, I have seen the truth. It may not possess much value as I would like, but you have my word. From this moment forward, I live only for you, Callie Ann Maddox," Skarlet whispered before nicking the regions of my neck with her tongue and mouth.
Wow. I never thought someone would confess like this to me before. But still, I had to stop this before it got out of hand, if my shivering was any indication.
"Mmm... Um, Skarlet?" I shakily started as she subtly caressed my torso.
"Yes, beloved?" she sang.
Slowly, I pulled away, doing my best to control my heart rate."I have to let you know that I'm also in a relationship with a monk.
Skarlet raised an eyebrow. "That man with the strange hat?"
I cross my arms. "Kung Lao is his name. I don't plan on leaving him just because I feel the same way for you. Do you mind?"
My first thought was that Skarlet would brush me off and slit my throat the first opportunity she got. However, she shook her head.
"I meant it when I said I live for you only. If I must deal with Kung Lao, then so be it," Skarlet stated, closing the distance between us again. "All I ask is that you give me the love and attention I desperately crave." Her request sounded like a plead.
I softly cupped her chin before kissing her cheek softly. "Of course. I specialize in making my lovers feel special. It's a Maddox family trait."
With that, we left the hall. Skarlet made me feel... amazing. But there's no way I can let her take advantage of me like that for a while. Not because I didn't enjoy it, but Kung Lao deserves to experience intimacy with me first. Speaking of, I hope he or anyone else doesn't react badly to Skarlet now joining us.
I can't believe I'm saying this now, but I... crave for Lao to hold me now to ease my lingering tension.
A/N: Well then, that came from left field. Skarlet has defected? This story is getting nuttier and nuttier. How will Benji and the others react? When will the siblings eventually reunite? Are Shao Kahn's days as ruler of Outworld numbered? Find out next time on Gone but Not Forgotten!
