Chapter 17 Warrior Eternal
I don't own Kamen Rider Hibiki or Mortal Kombat
After Pandora joined Edenia she was mostly doing making weapons and gear like how her father did, Hiro was now in the woods training with Khameleon and Ashrah, they attacked him from both sides and he blocks all they're punches and kicks, then he grabs they're arms and said:"alright, that's enough."
They stopped and put they're hands together."yes lord Hiro."
He nods and he walks foward with them following him, he then looks at the palace and remembers that Kitana was in there for her health, the baby was growing and will soon come.
He then felt a pressence nearby and looks around.
"Lord Hiro, what's wrong?"Khameleon said.
"Theres an intruder."Hiro said surprising them.
They look around and Ashrah saw a woman running around the woods."there she is."they then went after her.
Hiro runs as fast as he can he then saw her make a portal and go through it.
They stopped and Hiro said:"that portal went to Earthrealm."
"Did she take anything with her?"Khameleon asked.
"No, she was found before she could do anything, but still I must find her."Hiro then makes a portal."tell Kitana and the others I'll be going for a while."they nodded and he goes through the portal.
Earthrealm
He then arrives in a forest in Earthrealm and looks around."where could she had gone."he then sees a village in front of him."maybe she's there."he then goes foward.
He then walks foward looking around the busy village, he then looks around then he heard a voice."stop thief."he then sees a woman with brown hair wearing a white shirt and black pants running from two guards.
Hiro looks at her and decided to follow her, she managed to escaped them and was on the other side of the woods, she then hears a sound behind her and she throws a punch only for it to be caught by Hiro.
"Nice try."Hiro said.
She then punches at him many times like a boxer and he blocks all of them with ease and he then trips her making the thief fall to the ground."okay that's enough."
She then looks at him and said:"now what, you're going to give me to the guards."
"No."Hiro said surprising her."I just came to see what you stole."
She then takes out a necklace."it's one of the barons stuff, I took it before he could try to get me for him."
"I see, what's you're name?"Hiro asked.
"Taja."she said.
"Well Taja, my name is Hiro."Hiro said.
"Wait."she then gets up."I think I heard of you, aren't you that guy that won a tournament."
"Yes, the Mortal Kombat tournament, I'm surprised you know about it."Hiro said.
"I travel a lot, I heard a couple of monks saying that you won."Taja said.
"Yes, so Taja what made you become a thief?"Hiro asked.
"Okay, rude much."Taja said.
"Well I saw that you had some skills so why waste them."Hiro said.
"Not everyone has a chance to be some great warrior."she then walks away.
"It's never too late."Hiro said and she stopped."maybe I can help you."
"Oh yeah, how?"Taja said.
"Let me help you have a better chance for a better life."Hiro aid.
"Okay, fine."she said going up to him."what do you plan to do now?"
"I'm looking for a spy that was in my home."Hiro said.
"So let me guess were hutting this spy, got any appearance?"she asked.
"It's a woman wearing black clothing."Hiro said.
"Okay, that helps somewhat."Taja said.
"Don't worry, I'll know when we see her."Hiro said."but she isn't a rookie."
"So she will be hard to find."Taja said.
"Yes, follow me."Hiro said and they went away.
They walked through the woods and Taja said:"so Hiro, what do you do?"
"I travel to help others."Hiro said.
"I see."Taja said they were in silence."I used to travel too."
"Oh really."Hiro got curious.
"Yeah, you see my parents used to travel a lot but then they vanished."Taja said.
"I see, I'm sorry for your loss."Hiro said.
"Yeah whatever."Taja said.
Hiro then stops and raises a hand, she stops to see the signal and then he pushes her down to avoid a dagger, they then see a woman wearing similar clothes to Sareena come down towards them, she has long black hair and she is coming down towards them.
They rolled to the sides and went into a stance, they then start to attack her with the woman blocking they're punches but then Hiro knees her in the gut letting Taja kick her in the face, she steps back and sees them coming towards her, they then puched her together sending her flying back.
She lands on the floor and gets up, Taja then said:"this is the woman."
"Yeah it's her."Hiro said.
"You got lucky."she said.
"I think a friend of mine knows you, Kia isn't it."Hiro said and she grunted making him get his answer."thought so."
"Just because you know who I am will not stop me."Kia said and she then shoots a blast at them making them duck.
"Whoa."Taja said and saw that she was gone."what was that, magic?"
"Yes."Hiro said."you're not prepared for that, but the world is more than just Earthrealm."
"Earthrealm?"Taja said.
He then explains to her about the realms and the dangers.
"Whoa, whoa, you're telling me theres like other worlds out there."Taja said.
"Yes."Hiro said.
"What did I get myself into."Taja said.
"I know this might be much but I have friends that might help when we need them."Hiro said.
"Oh yeah like who?"Taja asked.
"The Special forces."Hiro said making her jaw drop.
"What, oh no I ain't working with a cop mister king."Taja said she then walks away.
"Really, you attacked so you're life is now on the line."Hiro said making her stop.
"Alright fine, you win."Taja said and he smirks.
"Good, now let's go."they then walked together foward.
"Where did she go anyway?"Taja said.
"Most likely to hide to recover, she has been hurt so she must be trying to hide not only to recover but also to loose us."Hiro said.
"I never expect one that wants to go to hell."Taja said.
"It where her master lives, she must have been after something or someone."Hiro said.
Outworld
Mileena was in her room looking outside and her belly was getting bigger, she rubs it and said:"grow my child, so that I could raise you to be the prince that you deserve to be."
Sheeva then comes in and said:"my lady."
"Sheeva what brings you here?"Mileena said.
"I only came to see you're state, the army is hopping that the new heir will come out healthy."Sheeva said.
"Well you can tell them that he will grow to be a great king."Mileena said and she nods.
"Also may I go on a quest."Sheeva said.
"For what?"Mileena said.
"To search of a mate for me as well."Sheeva said.
"Really, well you have been doing a good work so very well, but have Kintaro take you're spot for now."Mileena said.
"Thank you."Sheeva smile and she leaves.
She was now outside and goes in a tent with Kintaro there.
"How did it go?"he asked.
"It went good, I will not be able to find my mate."Sheeva said.
"Why did you have to pick an oni of all beings."Kintaro said.
"He is strong, one that will give me a worthy child, Mileena's is proof of it, many can sense it will be a grand ruler."Sheeva said."also you'll be in charge of my group while I'm gone."
"Very well, for the good of the Shokan I will do it."Kintaro said.
"Thank you."she smiled and leaves.
She then goes through the camp and looks at a tent to see Reiko and she narrows her eyes at him, he has been trying to get Mileena's affection but he failed when Hiro returned and gave her a child, he has been giving them a aura of mistrust, some have not seen Skarlet and Tanya as much and wonder if they're pregnant as well but that wasn't revealed yet.
"If he steps out of line I will take pleasure in killing him."Sheeva said.
Earthrealm
Hiro and Taja arrived at a different village and they pass by the streets, they arrived at a inn and got a room for two, they entered the place and Taja said:"is this really a good idea to share a room?"
"It will be smarter since she won't be able to attack us in our sleep."Hiro said.
"Okay but you dare try to do anything while I sleep."Taja said.
"No worries, I'm married man."Hiro said.
He then looks out the window to see it was getting dark, he then looks around to find her and said:"it seems she's not close for now."
"Well I'm going to take a bath."Taja then goes out.
"Alright, but stay safe."Hiro said.
"What worried about me."she smirks at him.
"Not going to fall for you're charms."Hiro said.
"Alright."Taja then leaves.
Kia was in a dark room, she was able to find a building and was now staying until she can return to the Netherrealm."I came to tell lord Quan Chi about the Champion having a child, it could be useful for the future but now I'm being chased by him."she then grunts."I should have taken Jataaka with me and that traitor Sareena is going to pay for telling him about us."
Note:Taja is from Conquet so she's now appart of the story, the war with Kotal is still happening with Mileena's baby growing but Kitana's in the same state too, now Hiro and Taja must catch Kia before she tells Quan Chi.
