When last we left our hero, the Earthrealm-born and lightning-wielding Akayama Kaito, he was caught in unfortunate circumstances. The Emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn, despite losing the 10th Mortal Kombat tournament, has not turned his sight from Earthrealm! He has declared a new tournament to take place in Outworld, and Kaito has found himself caught up in it, much like the last.

To make matters worse, Sareena and Tortek, his demon assassin and tarkatan warrior friends, have been taken away by Shang Tsung, likely to be executed at Shao Kahn's fortress, or worse...

Kaito and his only remaining companion, the Outworld sphinx Turana, came upon a grey Lin Kuei warrior challenging Shang Tsung to battle, who was busy making an arms deal with Kano at the time. This warrior, Smoke, was soon set upon by cyborg warriors, his former clanmates, their goal to turn him into one of them. Kaito saved Smoke from being captured and now the Lin Kuei ventures with him to Shao Kahn's fortress.

They currently stand on a hill outside of the Living Forest overlooking a massive city, with a great stone fort at its heart. The city is lined with towers and a great wall, with doors that are currently open. Even from their distance, they can see many fires from torches and firepits, and people moving amongst them.

"Looks like a busy city," Kaito says.

"The capital of Shao Kahn's empire," Smoke points out. "And his fortress is in the middle. I will have no trouble infiltrating it, but what about you?"

"I suppose I could sneak into the city with a disguise, like a robe or something."

"I could fly you over the wall, or use my magic to disguise you," Turana suggests.

Kaito nods and then shrugs, saying, "Or I could just walk right up, introduce myself as a warrior from Earthrealm here for the tournament, and get in that way."

Kaito turns to his sphinx ally and considers her points. "If you could drop me off... maybe you could take me all the way to the top of Shao Kahn's fortress?"

Smoke speaks then. "And I'll slip my way into the bottom of the fortress! You start at the top, I at the bottom, and we'll meet in the middle!"

"That sounds like a plan I can get behind," Kaito says with a smile. He looks at Turana. "You ready?"

She spreads her wings and lowers her back to allow Kaito to slip on. "I'll see you there, Smoke," he says to the grey Lin Kuei warrior.

Smoke nods and turns into a grey, wispy fog and slips away on the wind towards the city. Turana leans back and takes off, flying towards Shao Kahn's fortress.

They soar over the walls and towards the great stone building, landing atop it.

Kaito slides off her back and says, "Okay, now we should use your magic to disguise me," he says. "How about... one of those Shadow Priest guys?"

She nods, remembering them from outside the Blood Temple. She closes her eyes and casts a spell on Kaito, creating a dark purple robe around him.

>A) Have Turana wait atop the fortress
>B) Go inside and take her with you
>C) Have her scout around the city and surrounding lands

>>40585214

Take her with us, I guess. Have her disguise herself too.

"You should come with me. Is there anything you can make yourself look like to... you know... make yourself inconspicuous?"

The sphinx gives him a bit of an incredulous look, but says, "Yes, there is. But don't treat me like a pet when I make it happen."

She closes her eyes and speaks words that, to Kaito, sound like gibberish. She casts a spell upon herself, turning her into a great cat-beast with horns and four blue eyes.

"Neat," Kaito says, touching the red fur.

"What did I say?" she growls.

"Sorry, sorry," he replies with a smile. A nearby archway contains a stone staircase leading down, which they both head towards.

At its base, they find themselves standing on a great balcony that overlooks the courtyard of the fortress. There are many other doors here, and a few paths to choose from. One of them is a great hall that leads to the arena, from which can be heard the cheering of crowds.

>A) Proceed to the Armory

"A taigore, native to Outworld," she explains once the disguise is complete.

Maintaining their disguises, they enter one of the doors and slip down a hallway. They pass by a series of guards, all wearing armor similar to ancient warriors on Earth, carrying spears and swords.

Kaito and Turana come upon a door and open it, finding themselves on an upper walkway around a large room built around a great map of Outworld, large enough to allow people to walk on it.

The room appears to be empty.

Kaito searches around for a piece of paper. The war room has a stack of parchment nearby, likely for writing letters and other various uses, but for now it will be of good use to copy the map down on.

Kaito looks around for something to write with and sees an inkwell with a feather in it. "You serious? Outworld needs pens," he mutters to himself.

He looks at the map and begins hurriedly copying it as best he can with the limited tools at his disposal. He can discern where Shao Kahn's fortress is on the map by way of flags and small models, and he copies the surrounding lands.

Before he can move onto other continents or the seas, however, he hears a door opening across the room.

>A) Act natural like a Shadow Priest

Immediately Kaito hides the parchment in his robes and bows his head, putting his hands together and acting all quiet and aloof, magical and immortal, like the other Shadow Priests he's seen.

The door opens and a man enters. He looks like a warrior, strong, with black tattoos around his glowing eyes and a warlord's battlegarb.

From the corner of his eye Kaito realizes how much he looks like someone: Gozen, the leader of the army he stopped in the southwestern continent.

"And it's confirmed, then?" the man asks a brown-robed figure.

"Yes, lord Reiko."

Reiko... so it IS Gozen's brother!

Reiko walks up to the map and uses a long stick to knock over a series of flags in the southwestern continent. "The Emperor will be most displeased by this latest turn of events."

"But, my lord... your brother..."

"He was a weakling. I sent him away to lead that force because I did not want him here. We will need reinforcements sent to that region after the tournament is concluded, but most of them are being prepared for the invasion of Earthrealm..."

The brown-robed messenger leaves and Reiko continues to look at the map, clearly plotting moves for Shao Kahn's armies.

>A) Attack him
>B) Slip out of the War Room
>C) Talk to him

>>40588260
>>B) Slip out of the War Room

With the map hidden, Kaito prepares to leave.

Suddenly, he stops and freezes when Reiko turns to his back and says, "You, Priest. Send word to Shang Tsung. He should be down in his disgusting Flesh Pits. I require an audience with him, as soon as that sorcerer can."

>A) "Yes, Lord Reiko."

Kaito says nothing, nods, and walks away. From the balcony above, Turana slips quietly out of the room and walks down the stairs to meet Kaito outside of the War Room.

"That was close," Kaito whispers as he packs this new map into his bag. "We need to get moving."

Sorry for the pause, had to go get food.

"Turana, Reiko mentioned Shang Tsung in the 'Flesh Pits.' Can you sense any kind of powerful magic source nearby?"

Turana, in the form of a taigore, closes her eyes and concentrates. "I sense something... a font of dark power... pools of it."

"That sounds like a good start," Kaito says. "I need to track that bastard down and finish this game of ours."

"Follow me," she says, leading the way.

Kaito follows her through a series of dark corridors, eventually coming to a staircase leading down into a strangely-lit room. Kaito takes point, looking around the corner of the bottom of the stairs.

There, he sees many large tubes, looking like test tubes in a way, containing malformed and strange bodies. Jars with heads, organs, and other vile things line the walls. Shelves of jars of strange liquids and other potions can be seen, in addition to stone operating tables covered in blood.

Not far away, swirling pools of deep crimson and pits with bloody walls can be seen, from which emerge strange gurgling noises and cries of confused pain.

The place unsettles Kaito greatly.

Kaito approached the shelves, seeing concoctions far more in number than the lab he saw at the top of Shang Tsung's tower on his island during the first tournament.

There are jars with fermenting lizards, eyeballs, unrecognizable organs and insects that defy description. Skulls of strange creatures, potions of various colors, and...

"Huh. He's got a stuffed alligator hanging up on the wall over here."

"Strange," Turana comments.

Suddenly, a noise is heard, not from the pits, but some one of the nearby tables. It sounds like a groan, one that is strangely... feminine in nature.

Kaito slowly approaches one of the tables.

A woman lies upon it; beautiful, athletic, with raven-black hair. Kaito could swear she almost looked like Kitana, only covered in strips of white cloth, possibly for the sake of modesty, but even then, they left next to nothing to the imagination.

But then... her face. Her mouth is a grotesque parody of a tarkatan's, with no lips, razor-sharp white teeth, resembling more like a shark or a dinosaur's mouth.

"What the hell..." Kaito whispers to himself. What IS she?

As he watches, the body twitches, as if in deep sleep. The muscles of the mouth cause it to open and shut quickly, like a snapping turtle's jaw clamping down on invisible prey.

>>40590549
I'm pretty sure Shang Tsung has put a shitton of "Love Shao Khan, he's the bestest." shit into her head when he created her. He's also probably got like a million backdoors into taking her over or resetting her.

We'd have a better chance of waifuing Ermac and turning him good.

>>40590570
In all seriousness, she's a really capable fighter. If we can get her on our side, not only will we have a valuable ally, but we'll also head off a lot of problems down the road.

Kaito reaches out and gently touches the woman's shoulder, shaking it slightly. Suddenly her eyes shoot open and she gasps.

Kaito tries to offset her surprise. "It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you," he tries.

Her mouth moves, and words begin to form. "Where... am I?"

"Uh... this place is called the Flesh Pits."

"Where is... Where is..."

"What? Where is what?"

Her orange eyes open a bit wider. "Where is my SISTER?"

She suddenly brings up a knee and knocks Kaito in the head, knocking him to the ground. She hops to her feet atop the table and exhales, breathing deeply and inhaling the scent of the flesh pits around her.

"You are not Shang Tsung... You are not Shao Kahn... You are NOT my SISTER... So tell me then... what are you?"

Kaito looks up at her as she hunches over, eyes and hair wild as a long, serpentine-like tongue emerges to lick her teeth. She looks at you like a predator looks at its next meal.

>A) I'm a friend!
>B) I can take you to your sister!

"Stop! I'm just a..."

Kaito looks down at his robes.

"I'm just a shadow priest, in service to Shang Tsung! He sent me to, uh... check up on you!"

Her eyes narrow but she seems to accept the answer. She sits down on the edge of the table and crosses her legs.

"Very well... bring me my clothing, then, servant." She regards you now with a look of curiosity, but the ferocity she displayed a moment ago is still apparent, just under the surface.

You turn from her and search for her clothes. Nearby, Turana sits, maintaining her disguise.

"The... uh, master wanted to know if your memory is intact," Kaito quickly bullshits. "Do you know your name?"

He can almost feel her gaze piercing into his back. "I am Mileena... daughter of Shao Kahn."

You freeze.

Oh, shit.

"And... your sister's name?"

"Kitana... though, I don't know how much longer she'll be around..." she giggles. "She's going awaaaay~"

The strangely lyrical quality of her voice, and how much she sounds like Kitana, greatly disturbs Kaito. She must be some kind of clone... but how did she end up with that... face?

Kaito opens a chest and finds a collection of pink clothing, including a veil that would mask her frightening features. He brings it over to her and lays it down on the table, but she hops off and skips over to the taigore, which of course is Turana in actuality.

She begins petting it on the head like a child would a kitten, cooing into its ears and making bubbly talk, calling it cute. Turana looks straight at you with an unreadable expression.

Kaito picks up the clothing and walks over to Mileena. "Lady Mileena... your clothing..." he prods.

She looks up at him. "What's her name?"

"...Turana."

"Such a pretty name, for a pretty kitty..." she says, petting it.

Kaito holds up the clothing. "Perhaps you would be warmer in your clothing...?"

She looks up at Kaito and takes the clothing from his hands, a strange sparkle in her eyes. "Well? You're not going to watch a lady get dressed... are you?"

Kaito quickly turns.

After a few moments, she says, "Well? How do I look, servant?"

Kaito turns to see her in an outfit that is not entirely dissimilar from Kitana's, including a veil.

>>40591319

"You are very... lovely, Mileena."

She draws close. "Even... with these?"

She takes down the mask and brings her teeth close to Kaito's face, close enough to feel her breath on his skin.

"Y-yes, of course..." you say.

She begins to softly push him back against the nearby wall, pinning him against it. "You're very talkative, for a servant..." she says, her tongue darting out to lick some of her teeth. "Perhaps you could serve me in another way..." She gently presses her body against his own.

Kaito gulps. "Uh, Shang Tsung is expecting us any moment, and I, I mean we, shouldn't be late..."

"He can wait..." she says, dragging her tongue up Kaito's cheek and takes off his hood. "I want to play a game first..."

"A g-game?"

She's about to reply when footsteps can be heard. She turns her head and suddenly lets go.

Kaito turns and sees who it is.

Princess Kitana!

"Sister!" Mileena cries, running out to meet her. "How WONDERFUL for you to join us!"

The princess looks at her twin with an estranged look in her eyes. "Sister? What?" She turns and looks at Kaito, instantly recognizing him.

Kaito holds up a hand, asking her silently to not blow his cover. He pulls his hood up over again as Mileena squares away with Kitana.

"So pretty... so fair..." Mileena says.

"What is this about? Who are you supposed to be?" Kitana demands to know.

"I'm the true daughter of Shao Kahn, and he only has room for ONE CHILD!" Mileena screams as she jumps at Kitana.

Kaito charges up his power in his hands and lets it loose, shocking Mileena in the back. She screams and her hair briefly straightens before she falls to the ground, silent and still.

Kitana walks up to her twin and looks down at her. "What is she?"

"I don't quite know," Kaito tells her. "But it's damn good to see you again, Princess."

She stands. "Imagine my surprise at seeing you here, of all people. We lost you at the end of the last tournament."

"Yes, well, Quan Chi had a few things to say about--"

Suddenly Mileena screams again and jumps up, howling as she lands atop Kaito, biting into his arm. He shouts as she chomps down before Kitana kicks her off.

Mileena rolls into a ball and gets some distance between the two of you. "So you LIED TO ME!" she accuses Kaito. "I'll tear you limb from limb, I'll feast on your bones, I'LL CHEW YOU UP AND SPIT YOU OUT!"

She wails again before charging at the two of you.

Kaito prepares to send a flash of blinding thunderous energy at Mileena but, to Kaito's surprise, she falls into the floor and vanishes in a burst of pink energy!

Suddenly she materializes above Kaito and Kitana, kicking them both in the head and knocking them back. Mileena backflips backwards and prepares to charge in again.

Kitana leaps up and does the same, meeting her sister halfway. Her steel fans appear in her hands and she uses them to hack and slash at the deranged clone, who is just as quick and capable of dodging all of Kitana's attacks.

>>40592905

Kaito teleports in a flash of lightning over to Turana, who is prepared to drop the disguise, but doesn't yet. "Do you have a plan?" she asks.

"I was hoping you did!" Kaito replies. "A spell or--or something!"

"I might be able to put both of them to sleep... but you need to keep them busy for a while until it is ready!"

Kaito looks at Kitana and Mileena visciously battling each other. "That shouldn't be too hard," he says. "They're really going at it."

Kaito decides that a lightshow is in order. He prepares his power and summons up a great blinding flash, centering it between the two fighters. However, at the last moment, Kitana holds up one of her fans, shielding her eyes and face as she kicks Mileena, causing the clone to close her eyes as the flash goes off.

Kitana shoots an odd look at Kaito as Mileena comes back for another go, clawing at Kitana's defenses and relentlessly advancing, pushing her sister back towards the flesh pits.

Kaito teleports behind Mileena with the intent of hitting her with an uppercut, but the rabid warrior hears him coming and kicks him back, planting her foot in his neck. Kaito recovers a moment later and decides to distract her another way.

"I know Shao Kahn's favorite!" he shouts.

Mileena whirls around. "WHAT?!"

This gives Kitans a chance to roundhouse the back of her head and get clear of the flesh pits.

"This fight is meaningless here, Mileena! Shao Kahn doesn't even know yet that you live--is it not better to make sure that he sees you kill your sister? I did not lie to you! As a servant of Shao Kahn, I am attempting to look out for your best interests!"

She stops, reason bleeding into her mind. She looks at Kitana. "The fool makes a point..." She looks back at Kaito. "But I know you lied... she knew you already! After I deal with her... YOU'RE NEXT!"

After she howls her threat at both of you, she vanishes. Kaito and Kitana are left amongst Shang Tsung's experiments.

"Explain yourself," Kitana demands. "How did you get here after we lost you?"

"Well, I never left Outworld," he explains. "I was just moved to another place."

"And to whose allegiance do you truly swear?" she demands to know, still holding her fans.

>A) Earthrealm
>B) A Freed Edenia
>C) Myself

>>40593540
Man, I just try to do what I think is right. If stopping what's probably genetically at least half sister from murdering you makes me a monster, whatever. But I'm fond of Earthrealm, and most of the Edenians I've met.

>>40593540
>>A) Earthrealm
I've never stopped fighting for Earthrealm. However, I believe our goals are not dissimilar.
I am not your enemy Kitana, I simply did not wish to lose my disguise so early.

Would you like to come with? I am to meet a friend in the middle of this place, then we search for his friends and mine.

Also, tell her we met the Eagle head guy who's name I forget and tell her we have a copy of Shao Kahn's troop movements.
We should leave the pits now though before Mileena tells on us.

"I've never stopped fighting for Earthrealm, and what I feel is right, Kitana. I'm not your enemy; in fact, I like to think our goals are in line with each other."

After a moment, she puts away her fans. "I believe so as well," she agrees.

"When I was in the continent to the southwest, I met a man, Asgaarth. He said he knows you."

Her eyes widen a bit. "Asgaarth? You met with him?"

"And fought alongside him to liberate the lands of the influence of the Emperor. I've also copied a map of some of their troop movements, but I wasn't able to get all of them."

"This could be very useful..." Kitana says.

"I've another ally in the fortress. I'm to meet him soon; he must be done searching the dungeons by now. Why don't you come with me?"

Before Kitana can speak, there is a voice.

"Well, well, well, here we are, still conspiring against our glorious Emperor..."

Shang Tsung steps out of the shadows.

Kaito turns to face Shang Tsung with Kitana at his side.

"Sup Shang. How's the old meat and two veg?"

Shang's smile turns foul. "Akayama Kaito. Why am I not surprised to find that you are once more a thorn in my side?"

Kitana points a finger at him. "You created that mad copy of me! You intend to replace me, foul sorcerer!"

Shang nods. "I deemed it necessary after your betrayal at the Mortal Kombat tournament. Mileena is everything the Emperor truly needs in a daughter... Loyal, bloodthirsty, and she carries within her veins the royal Edenian bloodline."

"She is a monster and nothing more! You will pay for this treachery!"

Shang spits on the ground. "How DARE you speak to me of treachery! You who conspire against our Emperor! You who defy your own adoptive father! On this day... you will learn humility... Princess."

Kaito cracks his knuckles. "Oh? And who is going to teach it to her?" he asks.

Shang Tsung looks at you. "As for you, Kaito... You should not have come here. I will deal with the Princess personally, but for you, I have something much worse in mind..."

Kaito notices something subtle; a grey fog creeping up behind Shang Tsung.

>A) Keep the sorcerer talking

Shang Tsung shakes his head. "You remind me of Cage--full of empty boasts and an unhealthy fixation on genital torture."

"And you are like a blind snake, striking out at those much greater than himself," Kitana says.

"I'm afraid you'll have to come with me, Princess. Your father will need a word with you."

"I'd like to see you try," Kitana says, her eyes narrowed.

Shang Tsung chuckles. "My dear Princess, you are in my laboratory. My domain. And here, I have power over all of my creations... and the Flesh Pits can birth the greatest of abominations with relative ease. Here, allow me to... demonstrate."

He holds his hands aloft and creates two green skulls that soar through the air, diving into one of the flesh pits. A deep, terrible noise comes from them as it is fed the fraction of his power that fuels its birth.

"It is clear to me that my Flesh Pits are bereft of a guardian! You and the fool Kaito should not have come here so easily, disturbing Mileena, waking her up early... ARISE! My guardian of the Flesh Pits!"

The pool of blood rises with a shape forming inside of it, taking form. Four limbs emerge from its chest, and from them protrude four large blades, similar to the tarkatans. The creature stumbles out of the pit and walks on a pair of hooves. A metallic tail swings behind it as it raises its horned head, opening its mouth to let loose a roar and breathe its first breaths.

"Blood of a shokan, centaur and tarkatan... the ferocity and power of each!"

"You're a madman, sorcerer!" Kitana shouts. "First Mileena, and now this... abomination!"

"Abominations are creatures too, my Princess," he cackles.

The creature rises up, throwing out its four arms, roaring again.

"Well, I've fought all three of those things before... but never at once," Kaito says, getting ready to defend himself.

Hey it was all good until Kitana showed up and you guys just haaaaad to side with her! My plan to rescue Kitana later would have gotten us in good with the both of them but noooo!

>>40601807
I was with you man, I was mediator guy. I was hoping to calm her down enough to do some bloodless family councilling and get Mileena to know her sister outside of whatever Tsung put in her head.

>>40601807
Yeah, it's best to NOT piss off somebody who's already our ally in favor of some crazy bitch who would rather kill and eat us as soon as look at us.

>>40601930
And if we could get crazy bitch to effectively Vegeta v. Kitana's Goku? Ah well, regardless of what's up with family fued, we still need to free Skarlet. We were duped, nobody should live like that and it'd piss off the guy that duped us.

>>40601930
I doudt she'd be too mad if we save her later. Plus we would have Mileena as an ally or at least less interested in chewing down on our face.
Protect an ally and have on less person wanting you dead.
Instead we went protect an ally and make an enemy.

Kaito looks at the Edenian princess. "I'll take care of Shang Tsung. Can you handle the freak?"

Her bladed fans materialize in her hands and she nods. "Gladly."

Kaito looks behind the sorcerer. "NOW, SMOKE!"

The grey Lin Kuei warrior bursts out of the shadows and the fog, taking the sorcerer by surprise. He attacks him, kicking him in the back, giving Kaito a chance to blast him with a lightning bolt.

Kaito looks at Turana. "Can you use the sleep spell on that guardian?"

Turana nods and prepares to join Kitana.

Kaito leaps to where Smoke and Shang Tsung are fighting and prepares to join the melee, determined to not let the sorcerer escape this time!

Kaito charges up his electrical power, blasting Shang Tsung from behind. The sorcerer shouts, but remains standing, before turning around and hurling a flaming skull at Kaito, who ducks underneath it. Smoke attacks again, but Shang uses his other hand to create a pillar of fire that protects his back while he launches another skull at Kaito.

The lightning warrior dashes in and fights Shang Tsung hand-to-hand. The ancient shapeshifter is skilled, however, and manages a quick maneuver to knock Kaito down.

Smoke phases through the fire before re-forming and kicking Shang Tsung in the back of the head.

"Where there is Smoke, there is FIRE!" he shouts.

Kaito hops to his feet and goes to fight Shang Tsung once more. Lapsing into his old training in the Bloody Hands style, he relentlessly attacks Shang Tsung, who blocks each strike, chuckling all the while.

"You forget, Kaito, your father trained you... and I have your father's soul!"

He twists back, dodging an attack by both Kaito and Smoke, and blasts Kaito in the chest with a bolt of lightning. Kaito is knocked back, but gets up again, this time charging his body with lightning to improve his speed and strength.

"Yes, you do... AND I'LL RIP IT OUT!" Kaito cries, descending once more on Shang's defenses.

Kaito falls back on his rage, roaring as he attacks his hated enemy. But Shang Tsung is centuries old, and has fought brutal enemies many times before. The cunning shapeshifter blocks each attack and counters every blow.

Smoke fares better, using his abilities to strike at his foe from many angles, slipping past his defenses and allowing Kaito to get a few hits in.

Turana casts the spell of sleep upon the guardian, which Kitana has kept at bay. The monster lulls backwards and falls back into the pit, allowing the princess and the sphinx to shift their focus onto the sorcerer.

Shang quickly realizes that the tide is turning and plans his escape.

Shang sends Smoke flying back with a powerful screaming fireball. He begins to prepare a portal.

Kitana and Turana run towards him, but may not make it in time. Kaito, in desperation, falls back on a tactic he knows has never let him down.

With a shout, he performs a split and jams his fist into Shang Tsung's crotch, this time as hard as he is able. He then surges electricity into his hand, channeling as much power as he is able.

Shang falls over, in terrible pain, with light smoke coming off of him. Kaito stands up and wipes his hand clean of blood.

"I told you I would..." he mutters to the sorcerer.

Smoke, Kitana and Turana all surround him. "Now what?" the Lin Kuei asks.

"We can learn much from him," Kitana suggests.

"Or just kill him," Kaito replies.

"Perhaps we can de-power him?" Turana suggests.

"A hostage for the release of our friends," Smoke offers.

"He lives long enough for our questions," Kaito says.

"His words will be as venom. We must be careful," Kitana warns.

Shang manages to open his eyes.

>What do we ask?

Kitana spies some rope on a nearby table and quickly ties it around the sorcerer, binding his arms, hands and legs together to prevent escape.

>>40608746
>>40609161

Kaito grabs Shang Tsung by the collar. "Why did you take our friends?"

Shang smiles. "The girl is a useful bargaining chip with Quan Chi. As for my old watchdog... I had no use for him."

"Where are they being held? Answer," he demands.

"The demon-girl is Shao Kahn's prisoner, chained in the arena, alongside the human captive, Sonya Blade..."

Kaito's eyes narrow. Sonya has been captured as well?

"As for the mutt, well, I gave him to the tarkatans... I doubt Baraka let him live long for his cowardice."

Kaito's grip on the sorcerer's collar tightens. Kitana places a hand on his shoulder and attempts to calm him down.

"You keep good company," Shang chuckles. "Especially your Lin Kuei friend... though, from what I understand, he is Lin Kuei no longer..."

"And just what do you know of the Lin Kuei?" Smoke demands.

"That they have pledged their service to our glorious Emperor... in exchange for a prisoner."

Smoke gets close. "Who?"

Shang Tsung smiles. "Sub-Zero."

Smoke's eyes grow wide and he looks as though ready to attack the sorcerer.

Kaito lets go of Shang and holds back Smoke as Kitana holds her fan up to the Sorcerer's neck.

"You will tell me how you created Mileena," she demands.

He chuckles. "My dear princess, why, she is made with your blood. The same blood of your father, and your sweet, dear mother... She is your sister, through and through. There were... gaps, of course, that I had to account for, substituting material, but all things considered... she is the perfect replacement for you."

Smoke breaks free of Kaito's grip. "Tell me where Sub-Zero is!" he demands. "You will tell me, NOW!"

"Earthrealm, I imagine, likely in your old temple in China. He was given by the Emperor to the Lin Kuei in exchange for their service."

"If you lie, I'll... I'll..." Smoke clenches his fist, realizing what the Cyber Initiative would do to his friend.

Kitana places her fan against the sorcerer's neck. "When you die, your souls will disperse, sorcerer. Not even Shao Kahn can bring them all back together. And I doubt he will spare time to bring back a withered, old soul such as your own. Any final words?"

"A bargain," he says. "There may still yet be a way to save Sub-Zero's soul... if you let me live."

Smoke's eyes widen.

"You are a lying, manipulative snake. We have no reason to trust you. At all."

Ask Turana if she has a binding spell or something that forces him to tell the truth and keep his promise.

"Speak, snake," Kaito says, "but know that we will slice your throat at a moment's notice."

"I can send you to the Lin Kuei temples with my magic. There, you could rescue him before he is changed into the cold warriors I glimpsed in the arena. They will strip him of his life, his essence... and he will be lost forever. But you can save him... if you let me live."

"We can't trust you," Kaito points out.

Smoke looks at Kaito. "But the nearest portal to the lands surrounding the Lin Kuei will take too long to reach! If we truly cannot trust him, then any hope of rescuing him is gone! I... I cannot abandon him! He is my friend, and I know he would do the same for me if he had the chance!"

Kaito looks at Smoke, then Kitana. "Turana... have you any magic that can force him to keep his word?"

The sphinx shakes her head. "No... I'm afraid not, Kaito. My spells are mostly illusions, putting others to sleep... and he is a powerful sorcerer. I'm not sure my spells would work upon him."

Shang does not smile. "I cannot give my word, because you will not believe it. But if you do not believe I would do as I say to save my own life, then you truly do not know the lengths I will go to preserve it."

Kitana nods. "He is no fool, Kaito, but he is a coward. Make of that what you will."

Turana looks up at Kaito. "We still have Sareena, and Tortek... if you leave for Earthrealm, they may be lost to us forever."

Smoke looks down. "I cannot take on the cyberized Lin Kuei alone... I would be captured as well."

Kaito sighs. "Smoke... I won't let you go alone. But I can't just abandon my friends here." He turns to Turana. "Turana... you've been a faithful companion, and I thank you for everything you've done. I need you to stay here and try and help Kitana and the other Earthrealm warriors win the tournament. If they fail... Earthrealm is next."

The sphinx nods her head. "I make it my sacred oath to not let that happen, Kaito."

Kaito hugs the sphinx and gives her a soft kiss on the forehead. "Kitana, Turana will help you. Please keep her safe."

The edenian princess replies, "On my honor."

Kaito takes off his pack and gives her the map he made before looking down at Shang Tsung.

"There's nothing I'd like more than to tell her to kill you as soon as we step through that portal, you vile son of a bitch... but then, you've got no reason to uphold your end of the deal, and I'd be no better than you. So know this, Shang... I'm coming for you. And when I find you... you'd best be wearing a cup."

Kitana cuts the sorcerer free and he stands, looking Kaito in the eye.

"Even if you succeed, you'll no longer be a problem for the Emperor. Know this, fool: Earthrealm will fall, no matter what. You do not know the depths of Shao Kahn's power and ambition. And when Earthrealm is his... your soul will be mine."

He steps back and prepares the portal. You stand with Smoke as the sorcerer conjures forth the swirling vortex, and through it, you can glimpse a snowy land, and even further away, a large temple.

Smoke and Kaito step through, and into the cold mountains of China.

Beyond the snowly plains lies a large bridge that runs straight into a grand castle.

"He kept his word, even if only to save his own skin," Smoke says, his breath visible in the cold.

"Then we shouldn't waste any time," Kaito says. "Every second and they might be doing terrible things to him."

Smoke turns to face him. "I appreciate you doing this, Kaito, but we need a plan. The Lin Kuei has turned on Sub-Zero and I. The cyberization process has turned them into... well, you remember our fight with Sektor. He and others will be inside. Many others. We need a plan to get in and get out."

Kaito looks at Smoke. "This is your base, you know your way around. I'll go up to the front door and knock."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" he asks.

"That's the plan right up until they open the door, anyway."

"And then?"

"And then I wing it and hope for the best. I'll be the distraction you need and hopefully we'll meet up after you save Sub-Zero."

Smoke clasps Kaito's shoulder. "Good luck."

Kaito nods as Smoke fades away into mist, vanishing in the winds.

Kaito begins to cross the bridge. "Goddamn Chinese-snow-ninja-cyborgs, had to build their giant castle up in the freezing mountains... I think if Johnny tried punching me in the nuts right about now, it wouldn't even work."

He approaches the front door and sees a large handle he could use to knock with. Alternatively, he could try using his powers to blow the doors down.

Kaito charges up his energy, feeling the cold run away from him as the electrical energy surges through his body. He places his hands on the metal bands of the thick wooden doors and releases his power, causing a small explosion of sparks that sends the doors flying inwards, off their hinges and landing on the inside of their great entry hall.

"Knock knock!" Kaito calls out.

But the hall is empty.

"What the hell..." he says, entering it. The place is devoid of burning fires, warmth or other basic human comforts. The only light comes from the windows, dim and grey streaks cutting through the clouds.

Suddenly, Kaito hears a noise. A green flash erupts before him, and a yellow-armored warrior with glowing green eyes takes shape. He resembles Sektor in many respects, but is sleeker and thinner.

"Intruder. You are violating the privacy of the Lin Kuei. The punishment for this is termination."

"Termination? Let me guess: do I need to come with you if I want to live?"

"No. There is only death in your future."

The cyborg takes a combat pose as two more generic-looking cyborgs teleport in behind him.

"Neat," Kaito says, his fists crackling with energy. "Let's get this party started then, shall we?"

Kaito lets loose with two continuous streams of energy that fry the two lesser cyborgs---the yellow one anticipates this and teleports away, appearing behind Kaito and kicking him in the back of the neck. The lightning warrior whips around and tries to fry the mustard-colored warrior, but instead must now contend with the cyborg's chest opening and launching a projectile: a net, with strands that glow a bright green, soars towards him with the intent to capture him.

Kaito, rather than teleport out of the way, instead charges up and blasts the net, overloading it! He charges at his surprised foe, attacking him with a flurry of punches!

The warrior (hereafter referred to as Cyrax even though Kaito does not know that) counters by dropping a bomb from his chest. Kaito leaps back before it explodes and prepares for the cyborg's charge.

Kaito is now on the other side of the room and near a hallway.

Kaito turns to face Cyrax, who prepares to launch another bomb. The small, spherical explosive is launched at Kaito, who kicks it back with a quick roundhouse! Cyrax ducks for cover as the bomb goes off and Kaito takes off down the hall.

Kaito's feet can be heard stepping on the castle floor, as more cyborgs materialize and take up the chase.

One of them grabs him before he turns and kicks it down a flight of stairs he hadn't noticed before. He can see strange lights at the bottom.

The other cyborgs are closing in.

Taking hold of the railing, Kaito runs down the stairs, stopping at the bottom to look up and see his pursuers. He sends volts up the railing, which shoot off and electrify the cyborgs.

After covering his trail, he looks around and finds himself in some kind of mix between a genetics lab and a car repair shop. Human bodies lay on tables with tubes running into them, with automated robotic arms cutting into their flesh and removing their organs and limbs. Replacement limbs of metal and wiring line the walls along with tanks of synthetic oil-blood.

"What is this place..." Kaito wonders aloud.

"The future," comes a reply from a man who steps out of the shadows. He wears a red outfit with flowing black robes and an elaborate headdress. A golden medallion shows on his chest.

"And who are you supposed to be?" Kaito asks.

"I do not normally introduce myself to intruders, but I am Oniro. Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei."

Kaito sneers. "What's the point of turning your men into soulless machines that can't think? You lose all the creativity and adaptability of your most seasoned warriors!"

Oniro stands by one of his Lin Kuei, who is little more than a torso with most of his innards exposed and metal plating stapled onto his skull. "The Lin Kuei have always practiced the tradition of turning the body into a weapon. To hone one's mind and one's form into a deadly tool. But the problem with man is that man thinks. He believes. He grows his own opinions and his own loyalties that do not always fall in line with his superiors. Men have an almost instinctual desire to rebel... But the Cyber Initiative eliminates that. In its place, there is only efficiency. Technology has finally allowed us to remove human error from our assassins, and now... they are perfect."

From behind him de-cloaks two figures. Sektor, and the yellow cyborg you fought upstairs. "Consider Cyrax. He struggled against the Cyber Initiative, and now no longer questions any orders. And Sektor, our greatest warrior, my flesh and blood, is proof of the program's viability. He joined it willingly."

"Your own son?" Kaito says, hardly believing what he is hearing.

"Technology has allowed us to even bring back those once thought lost, but thanks to the Cyber Initiative, are now once more a tool to be used."

A pod nearby opens up and a blue cyborg emerges. "Hydro, killed in the Mortal Kombat tournament. His body repurposed and his powers unwasted."

Kaito looks at the blue cyborg in horror; after all, he was the one who killed him to aid Kitana's plan to set the Black Dragon and Lin Kuei against each other. To think that within that armor is a dead body, reanimated with technology, truly unthinking and unfeeling, a techno-zombie...

Kaito looks at Grandmaster Oniro. "Where is Sub-Zero, you sick technophile?"

At that, the man is surprised. "I was unaware that Tundra had a friend such as you," he says, apparently amused.

"Tundra?"

"His true callsign before he rebelled and took the mantle of his dead older brother. Such sentiment. Once the Cyber Initiative is done with him, he will be rid of such weaknesses."

Kaito notices a thin layer of fog creep into the room. Smoke has arrived, and is waiting to attack. Kaito decides to keep Oniro talking.

"And where is he?" he asks.

Oniro points to a screen alongside a locked door. On it, Kaito can see that half of Sub-Zero's face has been augmented with some kind of breathing apparatus. "Our technicians are working on him now. The process is only a fifth complete, but soon enough, he will be the perfect warrior he was always meant to be. As for you..."

Sektor, Cyrax and Hydro begin to advance.

No I mean more like the main control circuit for the automation system or something.

>>40616445

Kaito looks at Oniro. "You're no better than Shang Tsung. You'll pay for playing with men's souls."

"We shall see. Dispose of him," he orders the cybernetic warriors.

Sektor, Cyrax and Hydro charge in.

Kaito opens his hands to release a flash of light, but the cyborgs are unaffected by it. Perhaps they have some kind of automatic lens that prevents them from being subdued by flashbang grenades?

Kaito doesn't have time to muse as Sektor teleports behind him and hits him with a rising uppercut. Cyrax leaps into the air and plants both feet on his chest, drop-kicking him back against the wall, breaking a monitor. Hydro opens up his chest panel and sprays Kaito with a torrent of freezing water that saps his strength and partially freezes him to the spot.

Sektor opens up his chest panel and prepares to launch a missile.

"Time to die," Sektor says, and Kaito can almost swear he hears some form of perverse joy in the machine man's voice.

Kaito waits for him to launch his missile before focusing and teleporting. He becomes as a lightning bolt and shoots through Sektor's chest, temporarily shorting him out and de-activating his remaining missiles. The missile hits the station Kaito was up against and explodes as he rematerializes in the center of the room.

Hydro and Cyrax waste no time; Cyrax launches another cyber-net at him and Hydro begins charging up electricity from his internal batteries. Kaito looks at the door Sub-Zero is locked behind, two slaps of solid steel, that Smoke is unable to penetrate in his wispy form. Kaito thinks he may be able to short out the doors somehow; perhaps by blasting the panel alongside them.

Kaito sidesteps the net and looks at Hydro. The blue cyborg launches a bolt of lightning generated from his chest at Kaito, who holds up his hand.

He catches the lightning and absorbs it, feeling its energy coursing through his veins briefly and supercharging his own power. He holds a hand up to Cyrax and the door and lets it all out; half on the yellow cyborg and half on the door.

Cyrax is thrown backwards and hits the wall, sparking slightly. He slides down and twitches slightly.

The panel alongside the door blows up in a shower of sparks and wires as the doors fly open. Smoke swarms into the room where the technicians are working on destroying his best friend's soul, and his grey fog envelopes them.

Kaito can only hear their screams and can only imagine at what is happening to them.

The cyborg-corpse that is Hydro shifts tactics again and sprays freezing water at Kaito, who dodges. Sektor snaps out of his temporary stunning and turns to face Kaito. With Cyrax temporarily out of the picture, all he has to worry about is red and blue.

Sektor and Hydro get on opposite sides of Kaito and charge in with the intent to fight hand-to-hand.

Kaito stands and meets them to fight, but they prove a bit too overwhelming in melee. Kaito's Bloody Hands style is ineffective against their armor, and the cyborgs quickly sync up their attacks to target his weaker points and openings.

They both kick Kaito against a wall when begin to approach him when a new threat becomes apparent.

Smoke emerges from the room, and he is followed by another warrior, torn from the augmentation process and likely not very pleased with it.

The warrior formerly known as Tundra bares the signs of cybernetic alteration, but not nearly on the level of the other cyborgs. His mouth and jaw are covered with a mechanical device through which he breathes cold air and his eyes glow a piercing blue, having been replaced with augmented versions. His chest bares many scars from where they had run tubes into his flesh and his arms glow nearly white with frost. Thankfully, all of his limbs and organs seem intact, and apart from the minimal cybernetic enhancement, he is still completely human.

Smoke and Sub-Zero charge at Sektor and Hydro, taking them on individually. Sub-Zero promptly mops the floor with Hydro, freezing him in place and shattering him, breaking the techno-zombie in two.

Sektor covers his escape with his flamethrowers before teleporting away across the room, next to the recovering Cyrax and Grandmaster Oniro. A group of lesser cyborgs runs into the room alongside them.

"Don't let them escape!" Oniro orders. "They mustn't disrupt the program!"

Smoke looks at Kaito. "We have who we came for!" he says. "We need to leave!"

Sub-Zero shakes his head. "No... I'm not done here, Smoke." He clenches his fists and the cryo-energy within him intensifies. "Not until I tear out the gransmater's spine and destroy this accursed lab!"

Kaito looks around at the machinery, the electrical systems, the automated parts, the lights and wiring. This place could not handle an overload... and he is more than able to provide one.

He closes his eyes and concentrates, summoning forth his very last reserves of power. Smoke and Sub-Zero both look at him as he is overtaken by an aura of electricity, first white, but slowly, it grows red.

The cyborgs stand fast as they observe the display of power and watch as bolts of it leap from the maelstrom surrounding him, short-circuiting all around them. The lights flicker, the machines begin to fail.

As Oniro orders the cyborgs to attack, Kaito unleashes it all, and from the skies above the temple flashes a red bolt of lightning that burns through the rock and stone, splitting the temple in two. The floor shifts and breaks as the temple and the laboratory beneath it split apart, a line drawn between the three of them and their cyborg enemies.

As the red energy disperses and Kaito falls backwards, exhausted from unleashing so much, Smoke grabs both him and Sub-Zero and rushes them away. The ice warrior creates a bridge of frost from a freshly-made opening in the temple walls.

For Kaito, all grows far away and silent.

Kaito awakens in a cave, alongside a fire. Smoke sits nearby, having removed some of his battle garb. Kaito now sees he has a full head of hair, long and grey, almost as wispy as he is when he turns into fog.

"Nice hair," he groans.

Smoke looks back towards the entrance of the cave, where Sub-Zero stands guard against the raging cold of the night and any enemies that would come for them. "He is hurt, but his soul is saved," he says.

"Great," Kaito replies as he pulls himself up to a sitting position. "I hope this was all worth it..."

"What you did back there, that power you unleashed... you split the Lin Kuei temple in two."

"Not exactly a mountain, but I'm working my way up," Kaito jokes. Smoke doesn't seem to understand. "An old legend... something about my bloodline. I'll tell you all about it later."

Sub-Zero turns and looks at Kaito. "We need to return to Outworld as soon as possible," he says through his mechanical mask. "The battle for Earthrealm's soul still rages there."

Kaito looks back up at him. "There and back again and back again, seems like," he mutters. "Get lost in Outworld, make it back to Earth, have to go back."

Smoke stares into the flames. "The Lin Kuei will rebuild somewhere. They'll come after us. For now, Outworld is as far away from them as we can get."

"I don't intend to run from the Lin Kuei for long," Sub-Zero speaks up. "The grandmaster has gone against all that it should stand for. I will hunt them down and make them pay... and then, I will reform the Lin Kuei."

Smoke stands. "You'll have me at your side, as always."

Kaito stares into the flames of the fire and thinks about his friends. He's gained two valuable allies, but what of those he left behind in Outworld? What fate has befallen them?

He closes his eyes and tries to get some sleep. He'll find out soon enough.

Well, we've moved into the work week, and with my schedule over here in Korea, I can't update the thread as fast as I normally can as on the weekends.

So, we'll continue our story this coming weekend. Thank you all for playing this latest chapter of Mortal Kombat Konquest.

You know, I think this might be the first timeline in which both Sub-Zero and Smoke escaped automation. We're making some real headway when it comes to changing events around now.

I'll be around to answer questions and talk about how the game is going, but once again, thanks for playing.

>Freeing Skarlet or making Mileena less anti-Earthrealm

I didn't start off today's quest thinking that we would rescue Sub-Zero from automation; if anything, today's events prove that anything is possible, but as we move further into unknown territory, further deviance from the normal flow of events will result in unpredictable occurrences.

Today's big choice, the choice to let Shang Tsung live and keep Turana in Outworld with Kitana to help Kaito's friends in order for him to return to Earthrealm and save Sub-Zero, for example, will have consequences, just as consequences would have been wrought from any other decision in >>40610976

But everyone spoke unanimously, and the choice was made.

>Also, any clue how Kitana and Taruna were holding up in the meantime?

They're both alive, I can tell you that much.

>>40618823
Sub-Zero can remove the breathing apparatus, right? It's not like fused to his face or anything, otherwise how would he eat?

Too bad we couldn't grab Cyrax, we could use another Lin Kuei buddy for what we're walking into. Hopefully we'll get another shot in the future.

We also need to show Sub-Zero the map of the Ice Caves and tell him about his brother. Maybe we can find healing magic to fix his eyes and the scars he suffered too.

I imagine that underneath it isn't very pretty; they removed part of his jaw, likely in preparation for transitioning his diet to a Robocop-style nutritious paste. Easier to feed your cyborgs that way. Sub-Zero will survive; but he is not without scars.

I'd advise looking in the desert.

Definitely something coming next time.

Also, the thread has been archived.

Still don't know why thread #6 isn't on the list; it was tagged correctly and everything.

Which Cyrax is that though. Because the MKIX Desert has Classic Cyrax in it while New Cyrax is still running around.
Does that mean we could have time shenanigans have end up with TWO CYRAX?

Well that was just a joke, really. With Kaito destroying the temple and fulfilling another part of the ancient prophecy that is guiding his life, the role of the pre-Sub-Zero-reformed Lin Kuei has now been forced to change, and likely Cyrax will not end up in the desert due to the changed circumstances.

We'll just have to see where he ends up and if he gets the redemption he ended up getting in the original timeline.
