Bio:Impressive member of the Lin Kuei with the hidden power of an Enenra deep within him before being slain by Sindel and enslaved to Quan Chi's will as a Revenant, Smoke was among the first to clash with the corrupted Raiden in the Netherrealm. Where others perished, Tomas Vrbada was instead knocked unconscious by the Dark Elder God and awoke to find himself visited by memories of Kuai Liang, his friend, and Sareena, a friendly demon helping him restore his former self. Now Smoke continues fighting to get her closer to healing the other Revenants, a task he gives his all to seeing accomplished.

Ending:(Smoke is seen bolting back upright with Sareena's hand on his shoulder and red lightning coursing through his body before his Enenra stares at him, the Lin-Kuei staring back in bewilderment.)
Sareena made me whole again once she found me but I discovered that my Enenra had seperated from my main body and became its own being, leading me to question what other parts of me were now completely messed up thanks to Quan Chi's magic.
(Smoke is seen struggling with Geras as Cetrion is seen on the ground with her throat slit, knife stabbed into his shoulder while Sareena in her demon form and Kronika tumble into the Hourglass.)
I helped her try to heal the Revenants as best as she could and keep her alive but the arrival of Kronika changed things, that crazy Titan was going to kill everything and we had to stop her...but I wasn't strong enough.
(Smoke is seen reaching his hand out in despair to save Sareena before smoke starts coming off his body, hitting the advancing Geras with a wave that reduces him to a skeleton as the silhouettes of Noob Saibot and the Revenant Kung Lao, Liu Kang, and Kitana are seen advancing on him.)
I broiled Geras beyond what even he could come back from but Sareena had already been lost to the Hourglass, leaving me alone to hold the line against the rest of the Revenants.
(Smoke is seen slashing off Kung Lao's head topped with his hat and Kabal's arm with his hook-sword while his Enenra bites off Liu Kang's head and bisects Kitana, leaving the only two Revenants standing Smoke glaring up with his knife raised and his Enenra roaring as Noob strides forwards with his bloody sickle raised and his shadow leaping out.)
She never wanted me to kill them but I cut and steamed my way through all of those bastards with my Enenra at my side, guarding the Hourglass with my life as I stood up, broken and defiant against Bi-Han himself. If he wants it, he'll have to kill me like he did Kuai Liang...

Scorpion:I deeply regret rushing my vengeance at the cost of your salvation.
Smoke:Do you truly regret it or just that it hurts your reputation?
Smoke:I still have not gotten over you killing Bi-Han.
Scorpion:I was misled into that horrible mistake.
Smoke:Raiden promised to make things right if you hadn't.
Scorpion:I hold no ill will towards you.
Smoke:I want to make it clear my hatered of you is not because you're a Shirai Ryu, it has everything to do with your own choices.

Smoke:At least you let Kuai Liang live.
Scorpion:We have mended our clans' relationship together.

Smoke:I've got a mission to do with Sareena.

Vs. Noob Saibot-
Smoke:I know what you truly are now.
Noob:I always knew you were a failure.

Smoke:You've been manipulating Sareena, haven't you?
Noob:I have no flaws and she can see it.
Smoke:Your damn mind games...
Noob:The black sheep of the Lin-Kuei.
Smoke:Better than having a soul as black as the Netherrealm.
Noob:I preferred you more as a mindless slave.
Noob:The Brotherhood of Shadow never needed you.
Smoke:They'll be reeling from your death.
Noob:Far too cocky, Tomas.

Jacqui:No, I get it. Dad went through the same thing.
Smoke:I hope you find happiness with Takeda.

Smoke:I was always fascinated with Special Forces technology.
Jacqui:Hope I didn't mess up your head too bad.
Smoke:I'm all here, at least mentally.
Jacqui:Yeah, being a Revenant's gotta suck.
Jacqui:Sareena making any progress on making you human again?
Smoke:It's better to fix the mind first.
Jacqui:I can get that.
Vs. Baraka-
Smoke:The only reason your people get treated like monsters is because they act like monsters.
Baraka:You mock Tarkatan culture, Revenant?
Smoke:Please don't tell me it's just killing and eating people.
Smoke:I'd have ditched Mileena long before I got stabbed through the head and chest.
Baraka:Tarkatans are fiercely loyal.
Smoke:Even to the worst masters?
Baraka:I am curious how Revenant flesh tastes.
Smoke:Of course you start off with that.

Baraka:Your blade is nothing to mine.
Smoke:I've got more tricks than one knife.
Baraka:Good, I love challenges.
Vs. Raiden-
Smoke:Getting shocked by you actually cured me, Lord Raiden.
Raiden:I will free you from your accursed life of the damned.

Smoke:Did you truly kill the Revenant Nightwolf and Stryker?
Raiden:It is hard to say for certain with Quan Chi's magic.
Smoke:Yeah, that's certainly true.
Raiden:You are an abomination!
Smoke:Shinnok's amulet has done you absolutely no favors.
Raiden:I will maje sure you do not survive this encounter.

Smoke:Thank you, Lord Raiden.
Raiden:Let us join forces to destroy Quan Chi's legacy.
Vs. Johnny Cage-
Smoke:You think I can't handle tense situations on my own?
Johnny:Man, you really needed to chill out after calling Kitana a housemaid.
Smoke:That outfit did not seem fit for royalty.
Smoke:I'm not sure I can handle any of the terrible jokes you're planning on using.
Johnny:Way to smoke me out there.
Smoke:Here we go again...
Johnny:Did you kick my ass just because you were a Revenant-
Smoke:Or because you're a loud-mouthed nuisance?
Johnny:I knew you always had it in for me!
Johnny:Smoke monsters are so outdated, man.
Smoke:So speaks the man whose career peaked in the 90's.
Johnny:Agh! I thought only Scorpion burned people that bad!
Vs. Jax Briggs-
Smoke:We both went through a lot.
Jax:Sorry we couldn't help you earlier.
Smoke:Don't be, there's plenty of work to do now.
Smoke:Do you think we could reverse the Cyber-Initiative?
Jax:I wouldn't count on it, this is high-tech but my arms won't be real flesh and bone ever again.
Smoke:I shall have to inform Cyrax.
Jax:What was with that weird-ass cyborg version of you?
Smoke:Triborg baffled me even after taking it apart.
Jax:At least that's one threat down.
Jax:Being a Revenant is horrible.
Smoke:I've gotten used to it.
Jax:We need to fix you up more than that.
Vs. Sonya Blade-
Smoke:I must apologize for my previous actions.
Sonya:With what Quan Chi did to you, you shouldn't.
Smoke:I must still take responsibility for ensuring his sins are dealt with.
Smoke:Interesting how you use drones.
Sonya:You could call it a family trait.
Smoke:There have been worse ones.
Sonya:You killed Triborg and took his parts for armor?
Smoke:Yes, I didn't even know it existed before I destroyed it.
Sonya:Let's move onto Sektor next.
Sonya:Good to know that we now have three Revenants back to normal.
Smoke:Hopefully Sareena is right about the others.
Sonya:Always curb optimism with practicality.
Vs. Cassie Cage-
Smoke:I still can't believe Sonya got with him.
Cassie:Dad has his charms, just not in acting.
Smoke:Well, that would certainly hurt him if he heard it.
Smoke:I've always found technology fascinating.
Cassie:That Cyber crap's a bridge too far.
Smoke:Agreed.
Cassie:Man, I was worried you went from a Revenant to a cyborg.
Smoke:I'm still not sure how Triborg got that form.
Cassie:It's scrap now so why bother worrying about it?
Cassie:Alright, you might have the worst ninja name.
Smoke:I'm just practical.
Cassie:Smoke? Seriously?!
Vs. Kano-
Smoke:Sareena believes all humans have the potential for good.
Kano:And you, mate?
Smoke:I think you belong six feet under.
Smoke:Bi-Han might be awful but even he wouldn't stoop to your level.
Kano:Revenants can't enjoy the finer things in life.
Smoke:I hope you feel your skin boiling off.
Kano:How many knife guys are we gonna have?
Smoke:This one's going in your brain.
Kano:Now this is looking like fun.
Kano:Why don't you go smoke someplace else?
Smoke:I have to take out the trash first.
Kano:Don't refer to yourself like that, mate.
Vs. Jade-
Smoke:Ah, so you must be the housemaid.
Jade:Do you want to die?
Smoke:Already have.
Smoke:Why do people think there's anything between us?
Jade:We haven't even met before.
Smoke:Just a whole lot of odd misconceptions.
Jade:You like the Living Forest?
Smoke:Good place to meditate.
Jade:If one doesn't mind the carnivorous trees and dead bodies.
Jade:You offended Kitana.
Smoke:She's still mad about that?
Jade:I am.
Vs. Kabal-
Smoke:I take it your gas isn't intentional.
Kabal:Sonya fucked me up real good.
Smoke:I wouldn't trust anything Kano says.
Smoke:Still hot-headed even as a Revenant.
Kabal:Idiot, you should have stayed with the Brotherhood of Shadow.
Smoke:You're the real idiot for thinking that's a good use of your time.
Kabal:I have enough breathing problems without your damn smog.
Smoke:That's the least it can do.
Kabal:I'll waste your ass to end the problem then.
Kabal:You can't escape me in your little smoke-pits.
Smoke:Oh, I'm just looking for the right angle to slit your throat if Sareena fails.
Kabal:Fat chance, reject.
Vs. Kung Lao-
Smoke:I think you get more flak than you deserve.
Kung:My capabilities far exceed expectations.
Smoke:When your closest friends are Liu Kang and Lord Raiden, anybody would look bad.
Smoke:Let's be honest, you're not happy with this.
Kung:I'll kill Liu Kang and establish myself as King of the Netherrealm after killing you!
Smoke:Always getting ahead of yourself.
Kung:Why are we always seen as the sidekicks?
Smoke:I stay in the shadows for Kuai Liang while Liu Kang and you...
Kung:Finish your sentence!
Kung:You should have known I would be your greatest threat.
Smoke:I only went after you for Sareena because you were nearby.
Kung:Today I prove my worth to King Liu Kang.
Vs. Liu Kang-
Smoke:Your Revenant's nothing like you.
Liu:Even I have darkness in me.
Smoke:Not like that.
Smoke:King of the Netherrealm has to be the worst job.
Liu:You disrespect my authority?
Smoke:You rule over lava and the damned.
Liu:I wish you luck on bringing peace to all the Revenants.
Smoke:I just fear it might not be the way Sareena intends.
Liu:I fear you may be right.
Liu:You dare come back to my domain?!
Smoke:King has to go down with his subjects.
Liu:You will die in agony.
Vs. Kitana-
Smoke:I hope you're still not mad about my comments.
Kitana:To hold that against you would be cruel on top of your suffering as a Revenant.
Smoke:Maybe Outworld did find a good Kahn for once.
Smoke:You couldn't get out of princess status anywhere else?
Kitana:I'll have your head for that.
Smoke:I'm sure you would if you could keep up with me.
Kitana:We met under most unfortunate circumstances.
Smoke:Not the best now but we'll make do.
Kitana:That is the spirit, Smoke.
Kitana:I have not forgiven or forgotten your insults!
Smoke:I know, that's why you made yourself Queen of the Netherrealm first chance you got.
Kitana:I'll decorate the Bone Temple with your innards!
Vs. Skarlet-
Smoke:Knife and powers, seems like we're a perfect match.
Skarlet:Your smoke is no match for my blood magic.
Smoke:Well, I don't think skeletons can do blood magic but try your best.
Smoke:Is Shao Kahn incapable of having one good relationship with his daughters?
Skarlet:I will bleed you dry for that and then scald your corpse with your own smoke.
Smoke:Edgy, aren't we?
Skarlet:Revenants are not immune to my magic.
Smoke:That's fine, I don't want to boil you alive with no fight.
Skarlet:Make this entertaining for Shao Kahn then.
Skarlet:Fascinating, you rejected Quan Chi's magic.
Smoke:After a while. Aren't you Shang Tsung's creation?
Skarlet:No, Shao Kahn made me what I am today.
Vs. Kotal Kahn-
Smoke:You're not much better than Shao Kahn.
Kotal:Your actions as a Revenant are far worse than mine.
Smoke:Debatable, plus, I didn't have free will.
Smoke:You took my whole smokey entrance.
Kotal:You were dead.
Smoke:And then you stole my transforming into a beast thing.
Kotal:I do not trust any Revenant.
Smoke:I don't trust any Kahn.
Kotal:This shall be settled with blood.
Kotal:Enenra are monsters that plague Outworld.
Smoke:They're in Earthrealm too.
Kotal:Then I shall aid them by slaying one.
Vs. Erron Black-
Smoke:I thought your original backstory was cooler.
Erron:Well, now that my cover's blown, both are the truth.
Smoke:I pity your biographer.
Smoke:Did Shang Tsung eat your soul for immortality?
Erron:No but he wants his damn favor.
Smoke:Never should have taken that damn deal.
Erron:I reckon Quan Chi was the worst of the Deadly Alliance.
Smoke:They're both assholes so what's the point?
Erron:At least I can say that deal made some sense if that's the case.
Erron:Sure glad Quan Chi's in a bodybag.
Smoke:It's caused all sorts of problems for Sareena.
Erron:You don't share her idealism, do you?
Vs. D'vorah-
Smoke:One good thing about dying, I didn't have to put up with you when I was alive.
D'Vorah:This one shall be your death this time.
Smoke:I won't have to worry about showing Kuai that side of me now but this won't be pretty.
Smoke:Hard to make me feel bad for Scorpion but getting killed by you?
D'Vorah:A pity this one couldn't drag his corpse back to the hive.
Smoke:Yeah, I'm going to leave you looking like a giant boot got you.
D'Vorah:Revenants make fascinating hosts for the hive's young.
Smoke:Yeah, not into that. Maybe Bi-Han is.
D'Vorah:Kytinn do not ask, they take.
D'Vorah:It is hard to catch an Enenra for the hive.
Smoke:I'll bring back your carved-up head.
D'Vorah:But you will be one more claimed for this one's people.
Vs. Shao Kahn-
Smoke:Did you really have to kill Kung Lao like that?
Shao:What kind of idiot turns their back to their opponent?!
Smoke:For a guy who claims to love Kombat, your morals are all over the place.
Smoke:No wonder Bi-Han worked for you.
Shao:He knew which side would win.
Smoke:Both of your moral compasses are completely broken.
Shao:An Enenra? Now you have my attention.
Smoke:Glad to hear it, I won't make this quick.
Shao:I wouldn't have it any other way.
Shao:The Lin-Kuei should have stayed with Outworld.
Smoke:I heard you still died in the end.
Shao:And you died long before I did.
Vs. Frost-
Smoke:I'm not going to forgive you.
Frost:All that matters is power.
Smoke:See where power gets you when I'm ripping you apart like a tin can.
Smoke:Kuai didn't deserve scum like you as his pupil.
Frost:I'm better than him in every way.
Smoke:You'll die arrogant then.
Frost:I preferred Triborg.
Smoke:Even he would have iced your ass.
Frost:He would have bowed to my will.
Frost:Time to fulfill Sektor's plans for your Cyber body.
Smoke:I prefer dismantling yours.
Frost:You won't be able to.
Vs. Geras-
Smoke:Kind of a sucky job doing all of Kronika's dirty work.
Geras:She treats me like Sareena does you.
Smoke:Bullshit.
Smoke:I know how much it sucks to be used against your will.
Geras:Kronika is the only will behind me.
Smoke:Are you just playing dumb to get the drop on her?
Geras:I have nothing against you or Sareena.
Smoke:But we're in Kronika's way?
Geras:Indeed.
Geras:I have killed many Enenra before.
Smoke:You haven't met me yet.
Geras:You are wrong, Tomas Vrbada.
Vs. Kollector-
Smoke:And here I thought Kano got the Worst Person in the Realms award.
Kollector:I merely seek profit.
Smoke:By being a disgusting freak?
Smoke:Honestly, I'd kill you for free.
Kollector:You don't understand the concept of value.
Smoke:I value the lives and well-being of your potential victims over you.
Kollector:I need more Revenant parts for a buyer.
Smoke:Who are they? I'll mail them your skeleton.
Kollector:I don't give up that info...without payment.
Kollector:What good is your loyalty to Sareena if it does not benefit you?
Smoke:Are you incapable of seeing benefit beyond money, you greedy bastard?
Kollector:You take on lots of risks for no reward that I can see.
Vs. Cetrion-
Smoke:Sorry but you really don't deserve worship.
Cetrion:Why do you say that, Tomas Vrbada?
Smoke:Your actions have earned you nothing but scorn and fury.
Smoke:You won't be able to control me.
Cetrion:I will destroy you if you resist.
Smoke:One of us is dying then.
Cetrion:Do you think I did not make Enenras as well?
Smoke:You behind me getting abducted by a cult as a kid too?
Cetrion:No, that was my brother's doing.
Cetrion:Kronika wishes to help all beings live their best lives.
Smoke:Yeah, that sounds like a cult.
Cetrion:She knows how to control the timeline.
Vs. Shang Tsung-
Smoke:So that's where Bi-Han's soul went...
Shang:He already lost it long before I had a chance to steal it.
Smoke:So he always was an asshole.
Smoke:You've been stealing my moves.
Shang:I took your younger self's soul, how can this be?
Smoke:What? Not prepared to actually have to fight for your life, sorceror?
Shang:I thought being impaled on the Pit's spikes was a dull ending.
Smoke:I have no clue where half of these other mes came from.
Shang:I will give you a proper death now.
Shang:My powers from you are still lacking.
Smoke:Going to be really easy to carve you up then.
Shang:I have far more tricks than you could possibly imagine.
Vs. Nightwolf-
Smoke:I still can't believe one royal bitch killed us all.
Nightwolf:A sad fate indeed.
Smoke:At least you got payback.
Smoke:I'm shocked Sareena actually fixed you.
Nightwolf:Just because I look like a hell-hound does not mean my soul is beyond saving.
Smoke:She may actually be right about this.
Nightwolf:We both honor our guardian spirits.
Smoke:My Enenra's never been seperate before like your spirit guides, is that a problem?
Nightwolf:Merely a puzzle on your journey.
Nightwolf:Why do you think the other Revenants past redemption?
Smoke:If they could change, they would have.
Nightwolf:Unless Bi-Han has taken over Quan Chi's role.
Vs. The Terminator-
Smoke:Yeah, I'm not falling for that trick.
Terminator:You are more spirit than man.
Smoke:And you're a walking pile of metal with a skinsuit on.
Smoke:Alright, this time bullshit keeps getting weirder and weirder.
Terminator:Is this not common in your timeline?
Smoke:Not in the slightest.
Terminator:SkyNet wishes to copy your traits for a new Terminator.
Smoke:I don't think talking is going to do anything, is it?
Terminator:It will only delay the inevitable.
Terminator:Enenra can be terminated.
Smoke:So can you, robot.
Terminator:There will be others if I am destroyed
Vs. Sindel-
Smoke:You have no idea how long I've waited for this rematch.
Sindel:You're just another Revenant peon.
Smoke:And you'll soon be in the Netherrealm again.
Smoke:I don't see any changes from your past self.
Sindel:Because we're one and the same, you fool.
Smoke:And you'll both be dead.
Sindel:I hope you'll put up a better fight than last time.
Smoke:That pretty face is about to match your ugly insides.
Sindel:Hah, try it then!
Sindel:I have no interest in living again.
Smoke:Good, I didn't want to have to discuss with Sareena about steaming you to a crisp.
Sindel:This will be more fun than last time at the very least.
Vs. The Joker-
Smoke:Not a damn clown...
Joker:Why? Had a traumatic experience as a boy?
Smoke:No, I just like to take kombat seriously.
Smoke:I don't know how you did it but you managed to make Bi-Han look decent.
Joker:Anybody would be too little against a showstopper like me!
Smoke:How about I dice you up into the smallest pieces I can and be done with you?
Joker:You remind me of a bird I used to have.
Smoke:What batshit insane story do you have now?
Joker:I beat him to death with a crowbar, just like I'll do to you!
Joker:I do love my gases!
Smoke:I hope my smoke burns a hole in your gut.
Joker:What are you, the taco place in Gotham?
Vs. Spawn-
Smoke:Why do I feel like we'd get along well?
Spawn:We both try to make the best out of being damned.
Smoke:It's more than that.
Smoke:What did you do to wind up in Hell?
Spawn:Lots of bad things that I'm not proud of.
Smoke:At least you own up to it.
Spawn:Smoke monster ninjas, that's something new.
Smoke:And a Revenant too.
Spawn:This place is almost as messed up as me.
Spawn:Sareena doesn't understand how to handle the Netherrealm.
Smoke:Not at all but her heart's in the right place.
Spawn:It'll only get her killed.
Vs. Robocop-
Smoke:Alright, glad I came back as an Enenra now.
Robocop:I am still an officer of the law.
Smoke:Yeah but your humanity...
Smoke:You've got to be kidding me.
Robocop:I will not tolerate vigilante activities.
Smoke:You're in way over your head here.
Robocop:I know what it's like to lose your body.
Smoke:I'm not sure you kept your mind either.
Robocop:I am still Alex Murphy.
Robocop:Come with me to the station so we can discuss the Revenant situation.
Smoke:Not sure how much you can help in your current state.
Robocop:I am perfectly capable of delivering justice anywhere.
Vs. Sheeva-
Smoke:I have nothing against the Shokan but your way of life is rather brutal.
Sheeva:Do you mock us, Revenant?
Smoke:Not every fight is to the death and if it is, properly say it the first time!
Smoke:Is this really necessary?
Sheeva:I must kill an Enenra to add to my glory.
Smoke:Lady, if you die, there's no glory at all for you.
Sheeva:I expected Sub-Zero.
Smoke:You didn't mention your customs to him.
Sheeva:You fear for his life?
Sheeva:You will be a worthy opponent.
Smoke:Don't you have enough glory to yourself?
Sheeva:There will always be an opportunity for more.
Vs. Fujin-
Smoke:Don't like my chances here.
Fujin:I do not wish to harm you.
Smoke:Unfortunately, Sareena needs something from your temple.
Smoke:So you're the chill Elder God?
Fujin:In a manner of speaking, yes.
Smoke:At least one of the Gods has their head on straight still.
Fujin:I have befriended many Enenra.
Smoke:Not hard for a god of wind, is it?
Fujin:You'd be surprised.
Fujin:Your soul is in a tumultous state like a storm.
Smoke:Yeah, I kinda figured that out already.
Fujin:That is why your Enenra has seperated from you.
Vs. Rambo-
Smoke:Always did love a good knife.
Rambo:It's got more uses than that.
Smoke:Same here.
Smoke:You sure you want to help us?
Rambo:I'll see this war out to the finish.
Smoke:Heart of gold like me, pain in the ass to deal with that.
Rambo:How the hell am I supposed to kill smoke?
Smoke:Relax, I'm not with the Brotherhood of Shadow.
Rambo:You're Sareena's pal then?
Rambo:Don't think I'm on the level of dissappearing in plain sight.
Smoke:Most people aren't, John.
Rambo:At least you're humble about it.
Vs. Mileena-
Smoke:There's two of the princess?
Mileena:I'm the better one.
Smoke:Wait, you're the Tarkatan one, aren't you?
Smoke:Trust me, I don't taste good.
Mileena:I'll just pick out your eyes then.
Smoke:Eh, could be worse.
Mileena:You humiliated Kitana.
Smoke:Yes, not exactly proud of it.
Mileena:You are a friend of mine for that act.
Mileena:I find cyborgs boring anyways.
Smoke:You prefer clones?
Mileena:You test my patience, Tomas...
Vs. Rain-
Smoke:Somebody's got an ego bigger than their realm.
Rain:I deserve to rule, Smoke.
Smoke:Nobody deserves to rule, they earn that right.
Smoke:Honestly, not sure how you think you're surviving this.
Rain:I am a God!
Smoke:No, you're an arrogant demigod whose water powers mean so very little against an Enenra.
Rain:I could use an assassin like you in my army.
Smoke:I only work with Sub-Zero and Sareena.
Rain:Then you can die with them.
Rain:How is it you are the only Revenant to regain his sense of self?
Smoke:Lord Raiden shocked the shit out of me.
Rain:Or you're using Sareena for your own goals...
Vs. Ash Williams-
Smoke:You seriously don't have a chance with Sareena.
Ash:Really?
Smoke:I know her more than you do, Chosen One.
Smoke:Deadites sound like Revenants but worse.
Ash:And now you know why I'm tagging along with you people to destroy this damn book.
Smoke:I'm not sure we can do that.
Vs. Sareena-
Smoke:This is starting to get a bit messy.
Sareena:Are you afraid for me, Smoke?
Smoke:You know I am.
Smoke:I owe you for life for helping me.
Sareena:I would not have you help me against your will.
Smoke:It's the least I can do.
Vs. Smoke-
Smoke:You went with THAT look?
Smoke:What kind of lunatic has their hair hanging out?
Smoke:It's a fashion choice.
Smoke:Don't tell me that you're my evil twin.
Smoke:I am Enenra, your better!
Smoke:Damn it, you are!
Smoke:This is my fate?
Smoke:Try to avoid the Edenian queen who looks like a bimbo.
Smoke:Who?!
Smoke:You were a fool to reject the Brotherhood of Shadow.
Smoke:Oh, my meat-puppet version is back.
Smoke:To claim your head for the Brotherhood.
Vs. Reptile-
Smoke:We share a lot in common.
Reptile:I'm the latest in a long-line of Zaterran assassins.
Smoke:Don't count me out just yet.
Smoke:There's no reason for us to fight.
Reptile:On the contrary, it's in our blood.
Smoke:Definitely not feeling like ending your entire species...
Vs. Akuma-
Smoke:You're not a real demon, are you?
Akuma:Demons are born and made, I am the latter.
Smoke:Well, shit, now this might be some trouble after all.
Smoke:I'm not in the mood to play World's Strongest Fighter.
Akuma:Then you will die.
Smoke:Man, you must have plenty of friends...
Vs. Stryker-
Smoke:At least I don't have to hear your Revenant complaining 24/7 anymore.
Stryker:I'm surprised you all aren't doing that after one woman killed you all!
Smoke:Ugh, I'm trying to forget.
Smoke:You always were out of your league.
Stryker:You think I'm not cut out for this?
Smoke:Not in the slightest and you'll get your cute pets killed too.
Vs. Nitara-
Smoke:You promised me answers.
Nitara:If you could give me what I wanted.
Smoke:You didn't say I had to hand over prisoners to you on a silver platter!
Smoke:Not again, you were the worst boss I've ever had.
Nitara:Worse than Bi-Han? That hurts.
Smoke:Yes, even him.
Vs. Venom-
Smoke:Why do I remember you guys?
Venom:You don't know Eddie but we went to the same city in Hong Kong.
Smoke:You really did get around a lot before him, huh?
Smoke:Great, Bi-Han found a new murder-buddy.
Venom:Is he some red psychotic asshole skinnier than us?
Smoke:Yeah, you couldn't get a better host for your kid?
Vs. Ferra/Torr-
Smoke:Smoke-Man is the dumbest name ever.
Ferra:It your name!
Smoke:No, it's just Smoke.
Smoke:I'd leave if I were you, big guy.
Ferra:Torr not scared of you!
Smoke:Your sister doesn't understand how bad your chances are against an Enenra.
Vs. Rena Ryuugu-
Smoke:Don't worry, I'm here to help.
Rena:Killing Takano to avenge Hinamizawa?
Smoke:Sareena's right that won't help the pain, Rena.
Smoke:Hinamizawa was the place I wanted to go to for answers.
Rena:Sadly, I think they died with Rika.
Smoke:Just my luck.
Vs. Chris Walker-
Smoke:You have serious issues.
Chris:I won't stop until all threats to the public have been contained.
Smoke:You mean killing to your heart's content?
Smoke:I'm not a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow anymore.
Chris:You still killed innocents.
Smoke:Without any will of my own.
Vs. Springtrap-
Smoke:I didn't think a coin-operated rabbit would be the person I hate the most but come on, your kids dying doesn't justify this!
Springtrap:Elizabeth and my son deserved better so I'll bring him back like I did for her.
Smoke:Scrap Baby's clearly not all there anymore.
Smoke:My smoke's hot enough to end you for good, Afton.
Springtrap:You hope it is, you're not sure.
Smoke:I'll keep trying until it sticks then.
Vs. Li Mei-
Smoke:We never met, did we?
Mei:No but you sounded like a good man.
Smoke:You sound like a good person yourself, surprising from Outworld.
Smoke:I wouldn't want to live in Outworld either.
Mei:It wasn't easy moving.
Smoke:Between Shao, Mileena, and Kotal, that place is doomed.
Vs. Kenshi-
Smoke:You don't look so good, Kenshi.
Kenshi:I don't think your Revenant days have done you any favors, Tomas.
Smoke:You really do not want to know how bad you look.
Smoke:My Enenra is a part of me, not possessing me.
Kenshi:What are you implying?
Smoke:I don't trust that it's really you still.
Vs. Shredder-
Smoke:Honestly, I'd rather have the teenage mutant ninja turtles here.
Shredder:I will dine on turtle soup one of these days.
Smoke:Sure you will.
Smoke:I've got to give you one thing over Bi-Han.
Shredder:Instead of several over that arrogant wraith?
Smoke:You actually know how to love someone.
Vs. Kung Jin-
Smoke:Sucks being the odd one out.
Jin:I thought the Lin Kuei were renowned for coming from all over the world?
Smoke:Maybe under Kuai but under Bi-Han, it was easy to see how Cyrax fell for Sektor's trap.
Smoke:Gotta hand it to you, you got some real talent.
Jin:Nothing crazy like a smoke monster but I get by.
Smoke:Your bag of tricks makes up for that.
Vs. Havik-
Smoke:You're just lucky you came by after I was a Revenant.
Havik:Why is that, Tomas?
Smoke:I have ways to make sure you have nothing to regenerate from.
Smoke:You made life hell for Kuai Liang.
Havik:Chaos is my gospel, Tomas, I follow it wherever it leads.
Smoke:And today, it leads to your death.
