Hanzo breathed a sigh of relief. He would only have to deal with Kuai Liang. While he had made peace with the cryomancer, it did little to ease the guilt that he had over… Y'know… killing Bi Han and causing him to become Noob Saibot.

Man, that was awkward. And really hard to come to terms with.

At least Kuai was a forgiving person. Hanzo doubted that he'd be able to sleep had it been any other Lin Kuei member.

Both clans had enough blood on their hands.

"So Hanzo," Ken asked, "You rooting for your friend… enemy… frenemy?"

"I believe that third one is sufficient." Hanzo replied, "And yes. While I am aware that Glacius is an alien of formidable magnitude, Kuai has a better track record with his fights."

"Wait, didn't Johnny beat him… And you too?" Ken asked.

"In fairness, we weren't exactly in our right minds when we fought him. In addition, when I fought him, he wasn't employing lethal force. He was just defending himself."

"So, his losses don't really count then?"

"He got ganged up on by several Lin Kuei cyborgs after he fought Quan Chi and Shang Tsung - at the same time, I might add- as well as me… or rather, Scorpion." The former spectre recited.

"And I guess when he was cyberized, he also wasn't in the right state of mind." Ken said more than asked.

"He wasn't in control of his actions, no." Hanzo pointed out.

"Hmm, so he's got the better record, but Glacius is stronger." Ken mentioned.

"Yes. But, as numerous battles before us have proven, strength does not always mean victory."


"So, does Sub-Zero like…"Mega Man trailed off, "Make the ice defy gravity or something?"

"Look, man" Raiden started,"I'm still trying to figure out how Sonya's ex can decapitate a person three times. At this point, I think that he's just showing off."

"What about him freezing people in mid-air, and making them stay there?" Mega Man asked, as he looked at the video again.

"I… I got nothing." Raiden stuttered.

"Wanna write it off as magic?" Mega Man offered.

"Yes please. His powers give me a headache. How does Hanzo deal with him?"

"He's fire." Mega Man answered, "If they were roommates, Hanzo could cook or reheat anything, and Kuai could freeze or chill anything."

"Holy crap, they'd never have to pay for temperature regulation devices." Raiden realized.

"Uh, what?" mega Man asked, confused about Raiden's chosen vocabulary.

"Air Conditioning and heating." the cyborg-ninja answered.


X: Finally.

Wade: What took so long?

X: Wade, I had to write half of this on a crap desktop that was slower than a snail on molasses.

Wade: And how is that different from your laptop that was made in 2011?

Alexis: Tweet tweet tweet tweet, tweet!

Pinkie: Oh! Senzu Beans ain't going to heal that burn!

X: Sometimes, I really regret writing about you guys.
