Gone, but Not Forgotten

by The Salty Isles

When Siblings Benjamin and Callie Ann leave Edenia as a result of Jerrod's extremely rash decision to have Edenia defend itself in the MK Tournament, the pair find themselves fighting for Earthrealm in the MK Tournament nearly ten millennia later. But it soon evolves into so much more. (Slow Burn Romance with Benji and Jade.) Currently in the middle of: Arc V

57. Arc IV Dialogues

A/N: The last two times I have to run through every significant character in the past Four Arcs before I don't have to write all of these intro dialogues. After Kim and Xan, I'm done with it. Every instance afterward will be for the Arc's important characters instead of from past Arcs in tandem to the new ones. As well as their variations, intros, and fatalities. Now that I'm done whining, we can get the dialogues started.

We're doing Kim first.

Kim

Intros

Ceremonious Drink - As she's pouring Sake from a Drinking Plate, Kim notices her opponent and chugs it before tossing the plate aside.

Good Luck - Kim takes a big gulp of Sake and spits on her blade before swallowing the rest.

Joyous Occasion - The camera zooms in on Kim putting on her Haori Jacket as it shows the Kanji for Joy on its back before turning and winking at the camera.

Enigmatic Entrance - Kim walks onto the battlefield with a Paper Umbrella covering her face. She loses the facade as it turns into her Laundry Pole when her opponent arrives.

Fatalities

Hirazuki: Heart Attack - Using her White X technique she immobilizes her opponent before she takes the Hirazuki stance and lunges at the opponent, the screen fading to black, save for a white slash that swipes the middle of the screen. The camera returns as it focuses on her opponent seemingly fine before the camera pans to Kim and her Laundry Pole with the victim's Heart impaled on the blade. The victim then spurts out blood from their chest before falling, dead.

Sealing Ninpo: Six Ring Descent (封印忍法-六輪降臨) - Imbuing her Blade with Sealing Magic, Kim swipes upward at her opponent sending them in the air and creating a Blue Sealing Ring. As she jumps at the victim she slashes four more times, creating four more rings. With one final slash, she creates the final ring and sends the victim down into them. As they fly through the rings, the body decomposes until after they fly through the past ring, they're nothing more than a separated skeleton turning to ash when they hit the floor. The Camera angles are taken from Genjuro's Super Special Move, the Reverse Five Flash Rip.

Variations

Shinsengumi - Kim gains a plethora of new moves tying to her extended reference to Last Blade characters, Washizuka, and Kojiroh. Symbolized by her Jacket and Pants changing into the color scheme of a Shinsengumi Officer.

Kabuki - Taking inspiration from her day job, Kim incorporates the mannerisms she learned as a Kabuki Actress into her swordplay, adding many beautiful dodges and counters. Symbolized by her Joy Kanji glowing Pink.

Moon Guardian - Taking full advantage of her blessings of the Moon Goddess, Kim fights with a style inspired by the deity, incorporating more Electricity and more ferocious swings and slashes. Symbolized by her Laundry Pole Blade constantly leaking white electricity.

Now with Kim finished, we move to her Old Man, Xan.

Intros

Tranquility Shattered - Xan's moment of peace smoking a loosey is cut short when he notices his opponent. He blows out the cigarette's sparks before placing it over his ear.

Tarkatan Ashtray - Like when we first met him, Xan uses a Tarkatan's forehead as an ashtray before snapping its neck.

Chivalrous Godslayer - Poses like a Knight with his O-Katana's blade on the floor as the wind blows against him as he takes a deep breath.

Tengu Slayer - Xan crashes on the battlefield with his Damascus O-Katana jammed into a Tengu's neck. He snaps it before taking the sword out and throwing the corpse and blood off.

Fatalities

Fear-Inducing Decapitation - The camera switches to a victim's POV as Xan stares menacingly at them. His killing intent in tandem with Abyss's ability to slow time to a crawl causes the victim to feel paralyzed. An immense amount of fear to the point where the victim imagines Xan gruesomely killing them. In their delirium, Xan disappears from sight. As the victim looks around, they turn to see Xan as the camera switches to normal. In one clean stroke, Xan aggressively decapitates the victim.

Black Star - The same technique that killed Rain. Xan chucks his Jiao of Black Fire into the victim's chest as it reverts to its elemental state before spreading furiously. Xan disappears into the fire trail as the flames grow furious. Eventually, the flames reach their peak intensity, and Xan violently shoots out of the victim's body, blowing the torso off due to the pressure.

Variations

Champion of the Sun - Using his vast knowledge of swordplay and inspired by Amaterasu the Goddess of the Sun, Xan uses a less ruthless and more honorbound version style of swordplay Symbolized by his Jacket and scarf turning a deep red.

Void Walker - Using Abyss's soul, Xan mixes his masterful swordplay with the myriad of powers that Abyss's soul grants him. Symbolized by his glowing purple eyes, and decaying skin akin to Abyss.

Black Wyvern - When feeling spiteful or strapped for time, Xan decides to weaponize his Black Flames, becoming a Jiao imbued in the substance. Symbolized by Xan wielding his Jiao in tandem with his right arm (he's left-handed) being completely swallowed by the Black Flames. Xan is at his absolute peak of mercilessness in this variation. Tread carefully.

5th:

Reptile: I will gnaw on your bones.

Mai: Guess I'm disciplining a frog today.

Reptile: Your mockery is at an end!

6th:

Reptile: Your death is at hand!

Mai: But I just washed my clothes...

Reptile: Dirty clothing is the least of your worries now!

Vs. Shao Kahn

1st:

Mai: Was coming after Earthrealm worth it?

Shao Kahn: I harbor no regrets.

Mai: You'll think otherwise shortly.

2nd:

Mai: Duffeck was right to take your soul.

Shao Kahn: He denied me my divine right.

Mai: I'm surprised no one rebelled against you sooner.

3rd:

Mai: The mighty Shao Kahn, fooled by a simple illusion.

Shao Kahn: I was not fooled!

Mai: Tell me why no one set foot in Edenia for millennia?

4th:

Shao Kahn: I would've easily chosen you over Sindel.

Mai: Aww, where's your loyalty? / Exactly why I faked my death.

Shao Kahn: But I shall have you now, Siren of Edenia.

5th:

Shao Kahn: Bow before your Emperor, Edenian.

Mai: Hmmm, I don't see an Emperor anywhere.

Shao Kahn: I see your children inherited their sharp tongues from you.

6th:

Shao Kahn: Outworld is doomed without me!

Mai: Kitana is loved more by her people than you ever were.

Shao Kahn: I will take my throne back in time.

Vs. Rain

1st:

Callie: The spoiled brat returns.

Rain: You held my spot as General!

Callie: The previous General saw through your thick layer of elitism. / And who's fault was that, Rain?

2nd:

Callie: I enjoyed watching Xan burn you to a crisp.

Rain: As will I enjoy watching you drown from my streams.

Callie: Keep on dreaming, sweet prince.

3rd:

Callie: Head Scout wasn't enough for you?

Rain: You were the General and stole my spot!

Callie: Blame Jerrod for that. / He didn't want me to be a Head Scout, so I auditioned for General to spite him.

4th:

Rain: Taven has been eyeing you.

Callie: He knows I'm spoken for.

Rain: Why waste yourself with that Earthrealmer?

5th:

Rain: The Iron Maiden of Edenia. What a joke!

Callie: I didn't come with it. Scared soldiers like you did.

Rain: I... I wasn't scared!

6th:

Rain: Unbelievable that no one broke your Survival Test record.

Callie: I am the best at my damn job, Rain.

Rain: You merely got lucky.

Vs. Mileena

1st:

Callie: Why the hostility, Mileena?

Mileena: I only wish to fight.

Callie: You can't handle me, Princess.

2nd:

Callie: You and Xan were made for each other.

Mileena: Everyone certainly agrees.

Callie: Hopefully you'll get your fairy tale ending.

3rd:

Callie: You want to get more involved with the Freedom Fighters?

Mileena: Sister has the politics down, but I can handle the battles.

Callie: I'll see what I can do.

4th:

Mileena: You were a legend, so Mother says.

Callie: I've definitely been the topic of a sizable amount of stories.

Mileena: Share them with me.

5th:

Mileena: To think that you would become the Messenger.

Callie: Trust me, I didn't think I'd become one either.

Mileena: You have the luck of a leprechaun.

6th:

Mileena: General, Messenger. What's next for you?

Callie: Guardian of Earthrealm, Mileena.

Mileena: That sounds lackluster in comparison to the last two.

Vs. Sindel

1st:

Callie: Mom taught you Illusion magic?

Sindel: I did not know how good I had it back then.

Callie: And yet you still learned a lot from her.

2nd:

Callie: Seriously, to think you'd kill yourself.

Sindel: It was either that or have Quan Chi kill Kitana and I.

Callie: Wait... What?

3rd:

Callie: Quan Chi conspired to have you killed?

Sindel: He was in cahoots with Shang Tsung the entire time.

Callie: And you didn't tell Benji this?

4th:

Sindel: General Maddox.

Callie: I'm not the General anymore, Sindel.

Sindel: Sorry, a force of habit. / A remnant of better days, I'm afraid.

5th:

Sindel: Jerrod abused me too.

Callie: The way he sounds, being married to Cow Face was merciful.

Sindel: Alas, not by a wide margin.

6th:

Sindel: Edenia's people are warming up to the Maddox Family once again.

Callie: After you told them we're allies of the Dacarthi through surrender.

Sindel: A lie to appease their fickle minds, I assure you.

Vs. Reptile

1st:

Callie: The humanoid fish.

Reptile: I am not a fish, woman!

Callie: Whatever, a Toad.

2nd:

Callie: You ruined my niece's life!

Reptile: I did not plan on becoming Onaga's vessel!

Callie: You die right now! / Who the hell would travel to a volcano for vengeance anyway!?

3rd:

Callie: Your race is doomed, Reptile.

Reptile: The Zaterrans will rise again!

Callie: Maybe when the world resets itself.

4th:

Reptile: Where is Khameleon?

Callie: I'm not selling her out to you or your Blueface Kahn!

Reptile: She must atone for her assassination of D'Vorah! (AD:Damn!)

5th:

Reptile: You must be sacrificed for Shao Kahn.

Callie: Don't make me call Kim on you, Reptile.

Reptile: Your insults make this easier.

6th:

Reptile: Kotal Kahn has sent me to kill you.

Callie: Hmph, Blueface sent you to die.

Reptile: I will have your head!

Vs. Shao Kahn

1st:

Callie: How's your eye, Cow Face?

Shao Kahn: I will have your head for blinding me!

Callie: Didn't know I took your intelligence and depth perception.

2nd:

Callie: Stop sniffing around Earthrealm.

Shao Kahn: Or else what, Edenian?

Callie: I'll give your decapitated head to your ex-wife as a gift of allegiance.

3rd:

Callie: Me, be your army's leader? Ha!

Shao Kahn: You mock me at your peril.

Callie: I'm just getting started.

4th:

Shao Kahn: You could've had it all if you joined me.

Callie: I have it all now, without your grubby hands over Earthrealm.

Shao Kahn: Not for much longer.

5th:

Shao Kahn: I heard Skarlet drove herself to madness.

Callie: Not even Mom could cure her of the madness you inflicted on her. / I'll pay you back a hundredfold for what you've done.

Shao Kahn: She was mine to do as I pleased.

6th:

Shao Kahn: You will give me the female Zaterran.

Callie: Kham is staying in Earthrealm.

Shao Kahn: Then you give me no choice, Messenger.

Vs. Rain

1st:

Benji: Spoiled brat.

Rain: I am of the heavens, Doctor!

Benji: And died for the streets, Rain.

2nd:

Benji: Argus saved your pitiful ass from Cal.

Rain: He had no business doing so. / I did not need his help!

Benji: You were nothing more than a pawn to him. / Then stop claiming everything in his name.

3rd:

Benji: Xan made short work of you.

Rain: You will have no such luck.

Benji: I bet I can finish you faster than he did. (AD:I got $50 on that)

4th:

Rain: You're more deserving of your demoness whore than Jade. (AD:Wrong words, Rain)

Benji: Like she would lie with a treacherous fool like you. / Then why does Tanya want to bed me more than you?

Rain: My divinity with her bloodline is a perfect match. / She took pity for your choices.

5th:

Rain: Father always liked you more than me.

Benji: It's not difficult to see why.

Rain: You'll pay for your sharp tongue.

6th:

Rain: Your father deserved to die for opposing Jerrod.

Benji: Much like your mother did for lying with Argus?

Rain: Enough, blasphemer!

Bonus:

Benji: I have more divine rights than you.

Rain: Edenia's throne will be poisoned by your bastard children.

Benji: Be glad you didn't say that with Jade here. / Degrading my kids equals death.

Vs. Mileena

1st:

Benji: Mileena.

Mileena: I'm bored. Play with me, Doctor.

Benji: Can't you bother your husband?

2nd:

Benji: I'm busy. What is it?

Mileena: Mother says you and the General need to relax.

Benji: I can rest when we're settled. / Hard to do when adjusting to a new home and another pregnancy.

3rd:

Benji: You want to battle me?

Mileena: I want no complaints from a two-time Mortal Kombat survivor.

Benji: Still, you can find better opponents than me.

4th:

Mileena: Will you explore Jade's royal lineage with her?

Benji: If that's what she wishes. / I'd do damn near anything for that woman.

Mileena: You have all of our support. / Loyalty like that is rare indeed.

5th:

Mileena: You have quite the prodigious child.

Benji: Dakini continues to blow my mind.

Mileena: As expected of you and the General's daughter.

6th:

Mileena: Mother has continued to flirt with you.

Benji: I guess my marriage won't stop the compliments.

Mileena: You are quite the looker.

Vs. Sindel

1st:

Benji: Sindel.

Sindel: Spar with me, Benjamin.

Benji: I fear things will grow too physical.

2nd:

Benji: No, I will not teach you Pankration.

Sindel: But I want you to pin me to the floor.

Benji: Please, enough with your innuendos. / I'm happily married to my General and demoness.

3rd:

Benji: You want me to be your advisor again?

Sindel: You'd surely get the job done with Jerrod gone.

Benji: I'm skeptical about your offer.

4th:

Sindel: You and Jade look lovely together.

Benji: But that's not going to stop you from flirting, isn't it?

Sindel: You know me so well. / I would never, Benjamin! / She's the luckiest girl in Edenia.

5th:

Sindel: We will double our search for Tanya.

Benji: Make sure she's found with haste.

Sindel: She'll know justice in due time. / Destiny and Manuel will be avenged.

6th:

Sindel: The people are starting to trust you again.

Benji: They never should've mistrusted me in the first place.

Sindel: A truth they shall embrace with time.

Bonus:

Sindel: I'm sure it's crossed your mind.

Benji: You speak as though my wives don't satisfy me. / Can't say it has. / You really want Jade angry at you?

Sindel: My experience would put them to shame combined. / All I ask is one night to feel young again. / That merely proves you chose her wisely.

Vs. Reptile

1st:

Benji: The forgotten journeyman.

Reptile: Meets Earthrealm's biggest bootlicker.

Benji: Rich coming from Shao Kahn's biggest simp. / You're about to lose the last of your dignity.

2nd:

Benji: Zaterra is doomed.

Reptile: The Kahn has promised its restoration!

Benji: Your lack of a spine will prevent such a promise.

3rd:

Benji: You were Onaga's vessel...

Reptile: I'd do anything for vengeance against Nitara.

Benji: At the cost of ruining Dakini's life. / But involving our child shortened what little life you had left.

4th:

Reptile: Surrender Khameleon for D'Vorah's assassination!

Benji: So we were supposed to let her resurrect Shinnok? / Fat chance, Reptile.

Reptile: Lies you spit, Edenian! / Then join your father in death!

5th:

Reptile: We did not meet during the invasion.

Benji: Be grateful we didn't. / I would've made what Kim did look like child's play.

Reptile: Underestimate me at your peril, Doctor.

6th:

Reptile: You should've accepted Shao Kahn's offer.

Benji: And doom both of my homes?

Reptile: He was to conquer Earthrealm by divine right.

Bonus:

Benji: Outworld will need a new Emperor.

Reptile: Under what pretense, commoner?

Benji: Kotal defied Edenia's order of staying the hell away from Jade. / Kidnapping my daughter... a death sentence.

Vs. Shao Kahn

1st:

Benji: You should've stayed in Outworld, Shao Kahn.

Shao Kahn: Earthrealm is mine, Doctor!

Benji: Cal must've hit your brain in conjunction with your eye.

2nd:

Benji: You still wish to invade after everything Duffeck did to you?

Shao Kahn: The One Being's will must be done!

Benji: At least you're not hiding your true allegiance. / Was Onaga aware of his influence as well?

3rd:

Benji: You ruined Skarlet's life.

Shao Kahn: I prolonged what little she had left of it.

Benji: She was better off dead if you 'saved' her.

4th:

Shao Kahn: You should've accepted my offer.

Benji: And serve with a doomed tyrant?

Shao Kahn: Watch your tongue, Edenian.

5th:

Shao Kahn: I will kill all you hold dear, Edenian.

Benji: You couldn't even kill a couple of monks. / Touch them, and Okada won't stop me from torturing you.

Shao Kahn: Enough, blasphemer! / There's your dark side appearing. / And I'll start with Jade.

6th:

Shao Kahn: Your tirade in Outworld was blasphemous!

Benji: Much like your reign as Emperor was?

Shao Kahn: I've had enough of your prickly tongue!

Bonus:

Shao Kahn: Jade and Sareena... Whose life do you value more?

Benji: Neither is worth or loved more than the other. / You're a fucking moron for asking.

Shao Kahn: Your eyes reveal to me the real answer. / Everyone knows your deep affections for my greatest assassin.

A/N: And with that, the Arc IV Dialogues are done.

This didn't take nearly as long as Arc III since I worked nonstop on them, so procrastination wouldn't take hold, and I would put it off. Now that these are done, I will take a small break from GbNF to focus on some of my other stories. Namely, YGJ as the World Warrior 'arc' is almost finished. As well as the revival of a certain Eyes of story that people keep bugging me to bring back. So I'm giving to Peer Pressure... yay.

Anyway, let me know what you think, and check out mine and my editor's page. Vote on my poll, though I plan on changing it in a few days. I'll see you all soon, I hope.
