Ah, finally. Things are always slow starting out.

You have faced many challenges in your life. Against insurmountable odds, you've risen to them each time, and each time you've walked away with your life. Demons, gods, conquerors---all have been defeated. Your life is far from normal, and the strange is now commonplace, but you accepted this long ago. Now, the world you once lived in is comparatively tame and boring to the ones you sail across on your magic boat. Of course, where would a man be without his friends and crew? And a woman by his side, of course.

Although, at this moment, things are a little hectic.

Mileena pushes you up against the wall, her grip on your collar nearly choking you. Her breathing is hot and heavy and her eyes burn a bit more brightly than usual. She gets that look when she wants something, and what she wants is quite apparent.

But you're not quite as passive as you used to be when it comes to passion with her. You know better now that she likes a good fight to be put up. Grabbing her wrists, you twist her around until she is the one up against the wall with you pressed up against her back.

She growls in playful anger as she struggles against your grip.

"What? Wasn't dinner good enough?" you ask with a smile. "I thought Nemo outdid himself."

"I've had tastier dishes," Mileena says, her long tongue licking her large fangs. "And I didn't get DESSERT!"

She brings up both of her legs and plants them on the cabin wall, pushing back with all of her might. This successfully pushes you onto the floor and she rolls away, getting up on all fours and looking at you as she opens her mouth, appearing very much like a predatory cat.

"And I always get dessert when I want it..." she says as she slyly crawls towards you.

>A) When she pounces, throw her onto the dresser

You get up to an elbow before Mileena pounces, but you were prepared for this. You grab her as she leaps atop you, rolling to your side and throwing her up onto the nearby dresser. This makes a considerable noise as she hits the wood, and you're up on your feet in an instant to follow her.

Shaking her head, she pushes off and tackles you down to the floor. You wrap your arms around her as her nails scratch your back, both of you now wrestling on the ground. She wraps a leg around you but you manage to pin her arm to the floor as she snaps her teeth mere inches away from your face. The struggle for dominance begins as you and she spend the next several minutes rolling around, trying to get each other into a submissive pose. All the while, articles of clothing are slowly removed (or as is often the case, torn off) as your match continues.

Mileena rakes at your back, making you wince a bit, so you push her up against the wall and place your hand against her shoulder, keeping her in place while you work on removing a very, very stubborn boot from her leg. She's not making it easy for you, as she kicks out and wriggles in your grasp, attempting to be free.

For you and her, it's all part of the game; either of you can remove your own clothing, but removing each other's is always meant to be a challenge.

Giving her a taste of her own medicine, you bite down on her neck. Not enough to draw blood, like she likes to (but then again, she doesn't have to bite hard to do so) but enough to make her let out a throaty moan. You assault her neck, making her want to stop fighting for a moment, long enough to pull off her boot and cast it aside. Her newly-bare foot finds the small of your back as she holds you, her fingers digging into your shoulder and hair as you continue to lavish attention upon her neck.

Mileena attempts to push away from the wall again, but you've got her pinned in place. Frustrated at this, she resorts to biting you on the shoulder. You let out a sharp gasp as she does this. "Awww, did I hurt you?" she asks in mock-sympathy. "Poor little baby..."

"I'd ask you to kiss it, but that might only make it worse," you tease her back.

"Why don't you find out?" she says, pulling you in for a rough, passionate kiss.

'So glad she grew lips,' you think to yourself as you hold her tightly.

Suddenly, she breaks the kiss and gives you a smile before rearing back her head and slamming her forehead against yours!

This causes you to lose focus and stumble backwards, whereupon she pushes your onto the floor. Thankfully it is carpetted and not hard, otherwise your head would have gotten hit a second time, but it still hurts. She lands on top of you and takes advantage of your wounded state to tear open your shirt.

It's usually like this with her: get an edge, then she escalates it to another level. You rub your head as she begins to pull off your pants.

"The head, 'Leena?" you say, groaning a bit.

"Oh, shush," she says, finally getting you the way she wants. "You've had worse. I didn't even use my sais tonight."

"I think I'm going to have a bad bruise in the morning..." you mutter, feeling it.

"What else is new?" she asks in a husky voice. "Now then, just lie back and be my little plaything..."

You continue to rub your head, even as other sensations begin to take forefront in your mind. Even though you always end up a little bit bruised, battered and cut up, date night is definitely the highlight of your week. It's always worth it for her.

As she slowly moves, picking up speed the further along the night goes, you simply lay back and enjoy...

>...

The next morning, you wake up and stretch, yawning a bit. Your limbs are a bit sore and you're a little bit groggy due to your throbbing head. You look around for Mileena and find that she isn't in bed with you, but in front of the nearby mirror, cleaning herself. Specifically brushing her large fangs with a small toothbrush you gave to her as a gift from Earthrealm as part of a joke, but she actually found it very nice.

You sit up in bed and reach for a bowl of water on the nearby nightstand. Using it and conjuring up a little bit of magic, you infuse it with healing properties and rub it on your head, then your neck, and shoulders, and arms, and back...

All the while, Mileena brushes her hair and looks back. "Sleep well?" she says with a smile, knowing full well the answer.

"I'm beginning to think you almost like the mornings after more than the nights," you say, cracking your neck.

"You know that's not true. They're not nearly as fun." She sets down the brush and walks over back to the bed, snuggling up to you once she is under the covers again.

You cuddle with her for a bit as the boat gently rocks side to side. She lets out a contented sigh as she holds you close, resting her head on your shoulder.

After a few minutes of silence, she says, "I know I don't say it enough while I'm tearing you to pieces, but... I love you."

You look at her and smile warmly, gently rubbing her shoulder as you reply, "I love you too."

She leans up to kiss you as you hold your edenian princess close, closing your eyes as you do. Still, even with a girl like her in your arms and your heart a-flutter in your chest, you don't forget that you've got plans for today.

Specifically, talking to Johnny. You're currently parked in his pool. 'Thank the Elder Gods his pool is massive,' you think as you get out of bed after several minutes. 'Of course, the Dragon Wing does displace most of its water.'

After getting dressed in some replacement clothes, you step out onto the deck and stretch your arms. The crew of the Dragon Wing are all scattered about, if not on the boat then near the pool or inside Johnny's condo. You approach the edge of the boat and look down into the pool to see Chomba lying on the bottom of the pool, basking in the water.

'I'd better call Johnny and tell him that there's a crocodile at the bottom of his pool,' you think as you chuckle to yourself.

Johnny isn't home. You arrived last night, thinking to surprise him, only to find out that he was actually not home, nor is Cassie. Deciding not to waste your date night, you make a wonderful dinner out of the food in his amazing fridge, with help from the ship's cook, Nemo.

Everyone is currently relaxing and lounging about. Gwyn, the harby, roosts atop the ship, preening her wings. The mermaid, Arika, didn't like the pool and as such is currently inside Johnny's aquarium.

He's going to have quite a few surprises when he comes home.

Hopping up onto the side of the ship, you look down and see several crewmen attempting to make use of Johnny's grill. First Mate Finn is suntanning, having witnessed other Earthrealm girls doing the same, while Okaru the Owl perches on the condo roof. Monte, the monkey boatswain, is in Johnny's movie room, looking through the DVDs and Blu-Rays, attempting to discern the nature behind these strange shiny disks. Meanwhile, Biggs and Wedge are arguing over who gets to sit in the nicest pool chair, each attempting to pull rank over the other. You walk up and sit in it, taking the option away from them, as Elvis hops up into your lap.

You let out a small 'Oof!' as he does. He's getting bigger. You remember that, as an edenian mastiff, when he is fully grown he'll be as large as a man. When that happens, you hope he won't try hopping up on you again.

You take out your phone and give Johnny a call. After ringing a few times, he picks up.

"Kaito baby, what's up?"

"Hey Johnny. I'm back in Earthrealm. I actually arrived last night."

"Oh, where are you? You can drop by my place if you like."

At that moment, Butoro the tigrar shokan body-slams into the pool, displacing quite a bit of water. The tarkatan, Ugly, is splashed by this and roars as he jumps into the water himself to get revenge.

"Yeah... I'll keep that in mind, Johnny."

"So, where are you?" you ask him.

"With the old ball an' chain," he replies. "Special Forces HQ."

"When will you be home?"

"Oh, I don't know. We're going over a lot. Lots of reports, lots of paperwork. Things to get the team ready and official by Government standards, you know."

"Well, on that note, I haven't found a good base location yet."

"No?" he says, growing contemplative. "You know... I just had a thought last night. I was looking at a picture last night, taken on the docks in China of the night we met. You remember back then?"

"Well, it wasn't so long ago for me as it was for you," you reply.

"Right, right. Anyway, I thought, 'What about Shang Tsung's island?' What do you think?"

You pause. 'Shang Tsung's island...' You haven't been there since the first tournament. "I don't know," you reply after thinking for a few moments. "Are you sure it's still there?"

"Has to be! I mean, it got hectic towards the end after Liu Kang won, but the island itself should still be there. Maybe some old buildings, maybe some good loot? Who knows."

"It's not a bad idea," you tell him. "The island exists between Earthrealm and Outworld..."

"Making it well-hidden and a good place to deploy from. Think you could check it out?"

"It'd be very weird to travel back there," you admit. "But who knows? Maybe it'll be a good trip."

"Alright, let me know how it goes."

"Yeah," you tell him. A window breaks nearby as two crewmen accidentally fall out. The brothers Lor-Kai and Rambolt are arguing over a particularly comfortable pillow from the living room.

"What was that?" he asks on the other end of the line, and you're about to reply when you look up on the deck of the ship and see Mileena walking out, wearing a bikini that leaves very little to the imagination when it comes to her beautiful body.

"Expect a mess when you come back home," you tell him, and then hang up before he can reply.

You look up at her as she pushes her hair off to one side and sees you looking, then poses for your eyes.

Standing up and setting Elvis aside, you watch Mileena jump down and you approach each other. "I like that suit on you," you tell her, giving her an appreciative look up and down.

"You'd like it more if it wasn't on me," she purrs, holding the back of your head.

"I was just talking to Johnny," you change the subject, "and he gave me an idea: Shang Tsung's island."

Mileena blinks a few times. "The island..."

Studying her reaction, you watch as she thinks those words over. You and she both have a complicated history with the sorcerer; he created her, after all. Both of you have the distinction of killing him at different points. But you are the only one to have been to the island; you met Mileena later on, afterwards.

"What do you think?" you ask her.

"Perhaps it warrants investigation," she admits. "I'm surprised we didn't think of it."

"Honestly, so am I. But it's where my adventure started, not counting the docks in Hong Kong; it's where I learned about Outworld and almost died when Tortek stabbed me."

Your expression suddenly sours as you remember your tarkatan friend. Mileena cups your cheek and makes you look at her. "I know you miss him," she whispers.

"It's alright," you reply. You shake your head and decide to change the subject again, wanting to focus on the now instead of the then. "Say, how would you like a night on the town with me?"

"Here? In Earthrealm?" she says, a bit taken offguard. "Won't people react badly to me? And what about the crew? You trust them to stay here?"

"I trust them if you trust them," you shrug. "Just order them not to burn the house down or leave."

Mileena thinks for a moment. "Well, I have always wanted to see Earthrealm..."

"Perfect then!" you say. "Let's see if Cassie has some clothes you can use."

"And my face?"

"Plenty of people wear fashionable scarves," you tell her, waving away any concern. "If anyone asks, and I don't think they will, we'll just say you're a foreigner. Hell, it's not a lie, really."

"Alright. I'll go take a look," she says, a bit excited at the idea. "But I don't think she'll have anything in my size."

"Maybe we can do a bit of shopping," you suggest. "It'll be fun."

She leaves your side and rounds up the crew, telling them to behave and not to attract too much attention. The people of Earthrealm can be scared of those from other realms ever since the invasion and may give them trouble if they wander off. They give their captain their word and she goes to get some clothes.

As you make preparations, Mileena comes down the stairs. "What do you think?" she asks.

She's dressed rather casually, if a bit mismatched, and so you take her back up and look for a different shirt. Cassie's wardrobe is large, thankfully (she IS Johnny's daughter, after all) and as such you're able to find loose enough clothes for her. No bras, obviously, but that's not much of a problem.

'I wonder what Cassie would think if she came in right now...' you think as you help her get dressed.

Mileena is almost giddy as you take her out the front door. You stop only a moment to pick up some cash from Johnny's table---you're certain that few places accept koins as currency here.

"Where to first?" she asks, wrapping the scarf around her lower face.

You take her on a walk through the streets, heading towards the famous boardwalk. She often stops to examine curious things; the infastructure of your home realm is, of course, much different from that of the psuedo-asian-medieval barbarian-times realms that you oftne find yourself in. She has many questions about all manner of things; traffic, how cars work, the electrical power grid as well as cultural things including clothes, food and more.

You eventually reach the boardwalk. It is a bright and sunny day, and people are everywhere. Tourists, locals, performance artists and more, as well as street vendors. You stop by a few places and get some food as well as more appropriate and matching clothing.

"I'm surprised the clothing is so revealing," she says. "Are you sure everyone isn't trying to pretend to be edenian?"

"No, that's just summer swimwear," you tell her. "Trust me, it's normal."

After shopping briefly, she takes you by the hand to look at all manner of sights up and down the boardwalk over the course of a few hours. You show her as much as you can.

It's strange how endearing it is. You love the girl and she is undoubtedly a woman of power and grace, but her reactions to simple things like cotton candy and tee-shirts evokes imagery of a child experiencing things for the first time. 'I should take her to a water park,' you think as you watch her play an arcade game for the first time, grinning like a fool as you do.

"They don't have anything like any of these in Outworld," she says as she plays Galaga.

"Well, maybe one day, if they can get out of the dark ages," you shrug. "Maybe we could introduce technology to Edenia."

"Would that be wise?" she asks.

You look around. "Hard to say... Technology has a lot of positives, but there are downsides, too. Some people's whole lives are dominated by it and they never go outside."

"What a dull existence," she muses. She then loses her last life and pouts.

You take her to a nice, but not too pricey, place that has private boothes. There, she can eat without others staring. A variety of dishes are ordered, and contrary to what some may believe, Mileena has very good table manners when she wants to. She uses a fork and knife on her steak as opposed to just chomping down on it. She's an edenian, or part edenian, after all.

As you sit with her and look at her across the candle-lit table, you catch her look up at you and you both smile. You hold her hand across the table and run your thumb along its backside.

You think about how lucky you are to have ended up with such an amazing woman, but then another thought springs up from the depths, an unpleasant one: she wasn't the only woman who had eyes for you.

'Turana...'

You think about the former sphinx and your last confrontation with her; it turned violent. She was captured and questioned. Her masters, the Egyptian deities, allied with Onaga and her armies attacked Xun-Koto. It was a distraction, and ever since her forces have pulled back to the city she built.

You haven't seen her since.

How is she, you wonder? The same curiosity Mileena is showing for Earthrealm is something that Turana once wanted to experience with you. She wanted to see your world and learn about it with you, just as Mileena is doing now...

"Kaito," she says, getting your attention. "What's wrong? You've been staring blankly for minutes."

"Oh... Nothing," you say, waving away with a smile.

She isn't convinced. "You're thinking about her, aren't you?"

"Am I that easy to read?"

"Like an open book," she says. At first you might be worried she's upset you're thinking about another woman while being with her, but she anticipated that too. "I'm not angry. She's important to you."

"I was just thinking about how she wanted to experience Earthrealm like this," you say. "It's a shame... what she's done."

"It is," Mileena admits. "But maybe, one day, she can. With us."

You rub the back of her hand. "We can hope."

After leaving with her, you take her to a small amusment area and get on a ferris wheel. At the top, the wheel stops and you two get a good look at the setting sun. Mileena cuddles up next to you and you hold her close as you both sit and watch the last of the sun's rays shine over the clouds and the water.

"Will we leave tonight?" she asks.

"Maybe tomorrow morning," you say after thinking a bit. "Shang Tsung's island isn't going anywhere."

She places her hand on your chest and simply enjoys your company and you hers.

When you are walking home (well, to Johnny's home) you pause when you see three police cars driving by with their sirens blaring, heading in the same direction.

"Oh, no," you mutter.

Running back with Mileena close behind, you see them parked outside the condo, with the police setting up outside.

"Johnny's not going to be happy," you say.

"What now?" she asks.

You run up to the officer. "Excuse me, but I---"

"Get back, sir, this is a dangerous area," the officer says, pushing you a bit.

"But that's Johnny Cage's condo and I'm his quest and---"

Suddenly, another officer holds up a megaphone. "Attention! All interdimensional persons or entities must exit the residence immediately and submit to law enforcement!"

Suddenly one of the windows breaks as Sashar, the kathar rogue, stands in the window. "You think I take orders from you! I am Sashar, the Swift!" He waves his rapier around as Jon of Haven pulls him back inside.

"Oh hell," you mutter. "This is bad."

A group of people are beginning to form outside, holding up their phones and recording.

The officer again pushes you back. "I'm sorry, but this is dangerous. Alright, let's get a perimeter up already! Keep these people back!"

"I should've figured that people would react like this if they caught glimpse of a shokan in Johnny's backyard," you say to Mileena as you both walk away.

"Well, let's just leave," she offers. "They can't stop us if they wanted."

"There might be another way..." you think aloud.

Before an interdimensional incident occurs, you try and think fast!

Running up to the front door, you hold up your hands. "Wait! Hear me! Officers, this is all a misunderstanding!"

"Sir, step away from the door," the man with the megaphone says.

"No, you don't understand! I'm Johnny Cage's new, uh... publicist!" You think hard for a second. "This is... A PROMOTION!" you shout as inspiration strikes you. "Yes, that's all this is! A promotional cast get-together for Johnny Cage's new film! The men and women inside this condo are merely... actors! Auditioning!"

"Is this an audition or a promo?" one of the cops asks, skeptical.

"Uh... Both!" you say. Suddenly, Sierra Finn and Rambolt appear in the window, looking down while she holds a cutlass. "For his new... Action... Adventure... Fantasy... Pirate film!"

The cops look at each other as murmurs make their way through the crowd. The officers remain skeptical. "Sir, there is a boat parked in Johnny Cage's pool."

"ALL PART OF THE FILM!" you say. "It's to help get the actors in character!" You cough. "Now, I know what you're thinking... it's very unconventional to have actors audition in full costume and makeup at Johnny Cage's home. Well, that's because... this is also going to be his directorial debut, and he's the lead producer!"

The cops look around again. One of them asks, "So what's the name of the film?"

"What?"

"The name of the movie!"

"Uh, well, that's..."

Mileena stands in the crowd, watching with amused eyes.

>What is the name of the movie?

"It's, uh... 'Dragon Wing: Crew of the Lost Realms.' It's, that is... a fantasy... about a crew of pirates from different worlds, like Outworld and, uh, other places! That's why monsters are inside, but it's all costumes and makeup. Special effects!"

The officers seem to be somewhat convinced, and that's when a flashy red car drives up. The driver door opens up and Johnny Cage steps out to cheers as he waves at the crowd. He approaches his front door and gives a few smiles, waves and thumbs-up.

"Kaito, what the hell is going on," he mutters out of the side of his mouth as he smiles for the cameras.

"You're, uh... directing a pirate movie."

"The hell I am," he says, when suddenly the media runs up.

"Johnny! Johnny! A comment on this new film---are you going to star as well as direct?" "Johnny! What's the budget going to be? When do you start filming?" "Johnny! Johnny! Can we get an estimate on the release date!"

"No comment, no comment for now, I think tonight's theatrics have gone a bit far. That's enough, let's go inside," he says, pushing you into the door. You look out into the crowd and don't see Mileena.

Johnny closes the door. "Kaito!"

"I know, I know, I know," you tell him.

Johnny points at the living room, where most of the crew are currently sitting and staring.

"I know," you tell him. "Look, the cops were here, I had to... improvise."

"By saying that it's a new movie?" he says. "I mean, points for ceativity, really, but the energy I'll have to expend to make this go away is going to give me a killer headache. Now the tabloids are going to circulate rumors about my 'new film' and... I need a drink."

You follow him into the kitchen. "I thought you were with Sonya."

"I caught a flight back when I heard you say I would need to expect a mess. I didn't think THIS would be the mess you were talking about." He opens up a bottle of beer and takes a swig. "Christ, just when I thought I was getting out of this business."

"Wait, you aren't in movies anymore?"

"I mean, I could be, if I wanted. I just was shifting my energies into, you know, managing a team of super-heroes. That's a demanding task, you know, with lots of government oversight and logistics..." Johnny pauses as he looks out his kitchen window. "Is that a crocodile in my pool?"

You give Johnny a small bow. "I'm sorry, Johnny."

"Ah, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it," he says as he drinks. "So, I take it you haven't been to Shang Tsung's island?"

"No, not yet. I took Mileena out for a night on the town."

"Show her some of the sights?"

Mileena walks inside through the back door. "Yes, and I had a wonderful time."

Johnny pauses. "Are those Cassie's shorts?"

You quickly step in front of him and turn him around. "ANYWAY, like I was saying, we'll be leaving in just a bit for the island. Maybe tomorrow morning."

"Alright. Well, I'll worry about this movie stuff later."

"I'll help you make it if you like."

"Let's just put it aside for now," Johnny advises. "I'll stay here, since I have to catch a flight back in the morning. But I don't think it's a good idea for you guys to stick around for too long, with that kind of attention they're drawing. I also need some new windows... and some new chairs, clearly."

Jon of Haven walks up and taps you on the shoulder. "Some of the crew are a bit confused.

You pat him on the shoulder. "Well, tell them to sit tight for just a little bit. I'll order some food and we'll leave in the morning. Don't worry, the people of the local community were just as confused."

After ordering several large pizzas with various toppings and tipping the delivery boy with a golden koin, you spend the night hanging out with Johnny while he hosts the crew. The pirate hunters of the Dragon Wing are a rowdy bunch, and by the end of the night some more property is damaged. Movies, drinking games and more are shared and enjoyed, songs are sung and fun is had by all.

Though modern things like board games and video games are hard for them to wrap their heads around, common things like music, drink and food (particularly food) are able to be enjoyed by the slightly technologically-impaired crew. All the while Mileena sits with you and helps to keep them in line, while also enjoying her first taste of pizza.

Turns out she likes pineapple instead of meatlovers, who woulda thunk?

Questionable taste aside, you wake up the next morning, having crashed on the couch. Various members of the crew are strewn about; Chomba lies on his back as Elvis sleeps on his tummy and Monte is hanging from the chandalier by his feet with a half-full bottle of beer in one hand.

You look down at Mileena's head resting on your leg and you brush her hair before giving her a kiss on the forehead. After disentangling yourself, you find Johnny in his study making a few calls to repair servicemen.

"Remind me to never host a party for your crew again," he says. "Great group but the property damage is too much. My maid is going to throttle me."

"Yeah... sorry. They party hardy. You should've seen them at Queen Sindel's palace."

You sit in one of his chairs. "So, anything interesting going on with the planning side of things? Getting the team together?"

"Well, the team's together, or it was. Now we're just doing other stuff, getting authorization, boring government stuff. Proper protocol. You know, they talk about stuff like 'the team brand' and logos and stuff, and SOP's and DDP's and ARP's and who-gives-a-damn-P's. I think once we find a base things will roll along much more quickly."

"You really think the island would be a good spot?"

"Hell, I don't know. But it's an island, which is cool. I've always wanted an island lair. We could have big buildings, like an observation dome and a platform for aircraft; all kinds of stuff. We could really modernize that island, you know, make it feel like home."

"You think anyone is going to be there already?" you ask. "I mean, it's been twenty years since we last went."

"Nah... Well, hell, I don't know. Shang's dead, right?"

"Twice over now."

"So I doubt anything too bad will be out there. Maybe some spooky skeletons like that one you told me about."

"Don't remind me," you chuckle. "You aren't coming with us?"

"I gotta catch the flight so I can sit through another powerpoint presentation and grow ever-so-closer to blowing my brains out. Cassie used to tell me about the military and their death-by-powerpoint days; now I can sympathize with her."

"Well, I'll be sure to keep in touch," you tell him. "We'll head off in just a bit. And if this island pans out, maybe we'll get the team back together and we can centralize everything."

"Well, yeah, but it'll take a bit of time. We'll need time to construct the base, and moving materials out to that island is going to be tricky until we set up a portal. We might need your boat."

"Hey, my boat barely carried a giant woman back to the Lin Kuei, I'm not letting you drive construction equipment on it."

"A giant woman?" he blinks a few times. "Was she hot?"

"You're a married man."

"Hey, come on now. I'm a man first and married second," Johnny laughs, offering a shrug.

After rousing the crew and making them clean up some of the mess, you round them up on the boat and prepare to leave before some other incident with the local authorities happens. Standing on the deck, you summon the Staff of Raiden and plant it on the wood.

You close your eyes and think about Shang Tsung's island. Smoke surrounds the ship and soon it is completely encased. The ship goes from gently rocking in the pool to now sitting in the Lost Sea, sailing forward out of the cloud.

When you open your eyes, you look out upon a sight you have not seen for a very long time. The island looks just as you remember it: its tallest peaks shrouded in clouds, its hills covered in thick jungle and it has an overall appearance of being otherworldly.

Mileena stands alongside you. "So, this is where the fate of Earthrealm was changed forever when Liu Kang defeated Shang Tsung, robbing Outworld of its tenth victory, causing Shao Kahn's defeat when he would attempt to invade."

"It changed a lot of fates," you nod. "Like mine. If I had never come here from that little invitation, I wouldn't have ever done any of this... including meeting you."

You meet her gaze and hold her hand as she squeezes your fingers.

"And the boat has at last returned to the island as well," she notes.

"Hey, yeah. Funny how that all worked out, isn't it?"

Suddenly, she has a strange reaction when she grabs her forehead and falls down to a knee. "Ah!" she gasps.

You lean down. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know," she says, sounding a bit weary. "My head... I feel, strange, somehow it is... I do not know..."

"Is something wrong? Something with the island?"

She pauses for a moment. "No... I think I am alright now." You help her stand up and she shakes her head, rubbing her eyes. "For a moment there I was overcome with something strange, as though some kind of spell or weariness had come upon me. I cannot describe it, but I felt tired and it was as though I was... dreaming."

"Dreaming?"

"I do not know," she admits. "But it is gone now."

"Well, are you certain you are okay?" you ask, concerned.

"I am fine, I promise you," she says, taking your hand again. "Let us travel to the island, yes?"

Despite assurances to the contrary, you are nothing if not a pragmatic and worrisome individual, rare to let signs slip past you. You keep the boat in place as you consult the others, particularly Mileena, as to what her strange headache and the sensations that followed it could mean, but none of them can offer solutions outside of vague suggestions.

"Perhaps it is simply the wind of this place," Kojiro, the navigator, says. "Men have attempted to sail the Lost Sea before, and it is not so named without a reason. Monsters and madness have claimed ships in these waters; stray too far from the island, and there is no telling what we may discover in this endless ocean---an expanse where non can know where Earthrealm ends and Outworld begins, nor where Outworld ends and Earthrealm begins."

You trust your navigator's word, but it still seems strange to you. Nobody else had any such reaction---only Mileena. But it doesn't come again, even after an hour of waiting, and so Mileena is quick to wave away that anything is wrong.

"If you say so," you shrug. "Still, the island is strange... We should be cautious."

"Alright, let's head out to the island then," you say, and the usual crew of away team members assembles. You pause when Mileena stands near the longboat.

"What?" she asks.

"Well... Maybe you should stay here."

The crew silently go about their tasks. Mileena places her hands on her hips. "What? You think me in danger?"

"Well, I don't know. Maybe we should just be safe about it."

"I'm going," she says, getting into the longboat. "And that's final. I want to see the island where so much happened."

"Mileena, I'm just worried. Maybe it was nothing, but what if it wasn't? I just have a... I don't know, a bad feeling about this."

"Then let's go find out what is causing it," she says firmly.

You relent. "Alright. Kojiro, come with us; bring a blank map to catalog the island."

He bows his head and gets his materials ready.

You climb into the boat alongside Tsuga, Buturo, Kojiro, Chomba and Ensign Ricky, whom was not worth mentioning until this point.

Gwyn flies overhead as Arika swims underneath the boat. Jon of Haven takes command of the vessel as he and Sierra Finn watch you row away towards the island.

"This brings back memories," you say as you and the others row. "Of couse, there were more hooded monks and fewer friends on these boats."

Once you hit shore, you set up the boat and prepare to explore. You look nearby and see torn-up flags of the Elder God dragon symbol; the welcoming flags from twenty years ago, torn up and flapping in the wind.

Tsuga takes out a pistol and keeps it at the ready as Gwyn flies by overhead, scouting the area. She does a circle and then lands. "I see nothing," she says. "Some buildings off in the distance. Wind smells a bit foul; might be corpses on this island."

"Would make sense," you say, looking at a strange crab scuttling into the water. "Let's see where we go from here."

You look at Mileena; she seems fine, so far.

You decide to explore the beaches and get a feel for the size of the island; see if it has changed at all. Your group walks along, alert and ready for anything. As you walk, Kojiro takes notes on his parchment.

Mileena walks alongside you. Occasionally, you give her a look, just to make sure she is alright. So far, so good, so it seems.

Gwyn flies down. "There's something up ahead," she says. "I think it is dead. Something washed up."

You look at her, then at Mileena, before walking up towards it. The corpse you see smells foul; it is covered in seaweed and rotting quite profusely. Small crabs scuttle about its decaying flesh and bones. Whatever it is, or was, it has a long narrow mouth with many teeth. The rest is too obscured by seaweed and stinking flesh to figure out if it was a land or sea animal. But it was big, that's for certain.

"What is it?" you ask them, but the crew have no answers; not even Kojiro, who has sailed Outworld's many seas since childhood.

Some planks of wood are found near its body. Not driftwood; planks, like those of a ship.

"Perhaps it washed up here from a boat," Buturo says.

"No," Tsuga replies. "No, it was too big to be on a boat. Attacked it, likely. They probably killed it and it washed up here."

"Sometimes, things are lost in the ocean," Kojiro says in a low voice. "Sometimes, things are meant to be lost. Those things find their way to the Lost Sea... The waters surrounding this island are not natural. It could be from anywhere..."

The level of mysticism he speaks of the Lost Sea makes even you feel a bit unsettled. If you do ever make your base here, you'll have to put up signs for no swimming or fishing, clearly.

You look over at Mileena and see her rub her forehead a bit. She notices and then stops, acting normally once more.

"Tracks," Chomba says, sniffing the ground with his large snout. "Not so old... Animal, maybe?"

You look and see small footprints in the sand, belonging to tiny feet.

After walking further up the beaches for a while, you come upon another strange sight: a tube. It is metal, almost like a drainage pipe or a sewage pipe sticking out of the mountainside, and small droplets of blue-green liquid leak out of it. A glowing pool has collected in the dirt underneath it and a trail leads downward out to the sea.

There is a corpse in front of the pipe; bloated, ugly and misshapen. You approach it and turn it over, finding it to be vaguely feminine but monstrous, almost like some kind of tarkatan, with a vile mouth and sharp hands and a twisted face.

And yet, there is something… familiar about it.

Mileena stares at the dead thing with wide eyes. "That... is me," she whispers.

You look back at her. "What?"

"You were in the Flesh Pits when I awoke," she says, pointing at the corpse. "That... that is a failed clone. That is me."

You look back at the body and realize she is right... It is. Shang Tsung had several tubes of clones in various states of completion, and some were simply grossly monstrous and ghastly in appearance; they were failed hybrids. Like this one.

The other crewmen look on as you stand up and approach the captain. "There were no Flesh Pits on this island," you tell her. "They were all in Shao Kahn's citadel."

"I know what I see, and what I see is a failed tarkatan clone." She folds her arms. "We should---"

She stops as she feels another pang of confusion run through her, causing her to rub her forehead in frustration. As you attempt to hold her steady, she shakes her head. "I'm fine," she insists. "Let's continue."

Deciding not to venture further up the pipe, you proceed up the nearby mountain, following a winding trail that leads to a large gate. You recognize this as one of the entry way gates into Shang Tsung's palace courtyard. This stretch of road was gravel and stone, but is now covered in nature; the green of the earth has taken it back. Vines creep up walls, statues lie broken and pillars are fallen and ruined.

"This place is a mess," you say, pushing open the large red door and beholding the garden-like wild courtyard beyond. "But I guess twenty years with no caregiver will do that."

The others follow behind as you step onto the rocky road that leads towards the palace. The structure itself, as you can see from where you are, is just as decrepit and ruined, with large holes in the roof and broken spires and windows.

"Perhaps we should see what the palace holds," Mileena suggests as she walks up by your side. "It may---"

Suddenly she lets out a sharp gasp again as she stumbles backwards as though hit by an invisible blast of confusion; she grabs her head and groans in pain. "Gaaah! Something! ARGH!"

You try to hold her steady but she throws your arms off of her as she falls against a nearby rock. The crew go to help their captain but are similarly rebuked as she writhes in unexplainable pain.

"Mileena!" you shout her name, running to her side. "What is it? How can we help?"

"My head," she grunts. "I cannot..."

Her voice trails off and she grows very still, kneeling with her head turned towards the ground.

"Mileena?" you whisper, kneeling down to her. "Is it gone?"

She responds by suddenly and violently bringing up a fist that connects with your face, knocking you to the ground. She then whirls around and looks at her crew, eyes blazing as she acrobatically leaps up and lands on Chomba's head. She dinger her nails into his large reptillian nostrils and pulls back, causing him to open his mouth and grunt in pain.

"Captain!" Tsuga shouts, unable to aim his gun due to Chomba's mouth covering her. "What are you doing?!"

You get back on your feet as Mileena kicks off of Chomba's head, forcing him to fall forward and land on top of Tsuga. Buturo and Kojiro stand back as she lands near them, drawing her sai blades and hissing a warning.

"Mileena!" you shout. "You're not well! Whatever it is, fight it! I don't want to hurt you!"

She looks at you before dashing off towards the palace, leaping over another wall. As Buturo helps Chomba back up to his feet, you look on, more worried than ever. She was acting like she had just come out of the tank for the first time...

Gathering up the others, you all quickly run towards the palace. "What is wrong with the captain?" Buturo asks.

"I don't know," you reply, "but we're about to find out."

You kick down the door leading into the courtyard and then run up to the open doors to Shang Tsung's palace. It is a dismal and dreary place; once it was magnificent and decorated with all manner of finery and lavish furnishings, but no more.

You and the others burst in and look around, but she is nowhere to be found. You keep your ears open and they begin to pick up the sounds of thrashing, wood being broken and a pounding, as well as shouting.

You follow them to a door you have never seen before, one hidden behind a withered tapestry. It has been forced open, and leads to a winding staircase going downwards.

As you enter it, you hear the pounding growing louder, along with chains rustling and wood splintering.

"Stop! Stop it right now! I command you, you insolent fool of a wench! Stop it this instant!"

That voice...

You KNOW that voice!

Running down ahead of the others, you enter a private study. The walls are lined with books and candles, along with tables containing various skulls and jars and other odd sorcerous things, but that doesn't concern you. What does concern you is the sight of Mileena pounding on a door and tearing into it with her sai and fangs in an attempt to get it open. It is a thick door, with heavy bolts and chains upon it.

And nearby, admonishing her, is an old and feeble man: Shang Tsung.

"Shang!" you call out his name.

He looks at you and scowls with more scorn than most in all of the realms could conjure up. "You... Oh, of course, it simply HAD to be YOU."

Tell Shang we're not here to fight, then inquire just what he did this time that's causing Mileena to freak out.

If memory serves, he told Kotal Kahn about it, but never mentioned Shang himself. He told his sister Sanra about it as well.

To Kotal:
>"Everything was old, ruined and abandonned, but I found a magical artifact that allowed me to come back," Cao replies, not lying so much as omitting parts of the truth. "I could not bring it with me, but here I am."

To Sanra:
>
"An island," he replies. "I found a way back with some help." He pulls away and gives her a worried look. "What about you?"

I don't know if Cao would have ever brought it up to Kaito, so I'm fairly certain Kaito doesn't know about it.

>>409348
Eh, maybe. Still not too far of a jump between him telling Kotal and then it getting spread to the Defenders. I can see it being the reason Johnny thought of the island in the first place.
From there, it'd not too big of a leap.
But we'll see what Damashi says.

Turning towards Mileena, you watch as she claws and bites at the door. "Mileena, stop," you urge, holding up your hands.

When you get near her, she attempts to kick you. She violently resumes attacking the door.

You look at the sorcerer. "What have you done?"

"Me? I have done nothing! You are the one who brought HER," he points at the mad hybrid, "to this place!"

"And why wouldn't I?" you reply, getting near him. "What is on this island that would warrant me NOT bringing her, old man?!"

"This is my island, my property!" he says. "And of all the people in all of the realms, you two are most certainly NOT welcome! Now subdue her and take her out of here, before she ruins everything!"

You're having none of it. "You have ten seconds to explain what is going on before I curl up my hand and reacquaint it with your---"

Before you can finish the sentence, the mad dog that is the woman you love tears open the door, all but destroying what remains of it. The hinges fall off and the wood shatters as she claws through it, into a dark room beyond.

You look and see a dull green glow. Mileena saunters into the room, breathing heavily, as she looks upon several man-sized tanks of fluid.

Suspended in them are a dozen, perhaps more, clones of Mileena.

Your hands slowly drop along with your jaw as your eyes widen from taking in the sight.

"What have you done?" you ask him, dumbfounded.

Shang attempts to push past you. "Stop her, stop her! STOP HER YOU FOOL!"

You hold him back. "What is going on? Answer me, Shang!"

"STOP HER!" he cries again as she takes out her sai.

"I'm not doing a thing until you tell me what is happening, Shang! Why are there clones of Mileena in those tanks? Why is she going crazy?"

"You fool!" Shang spits in your face. He looks at the others. "At least you lot can stop her! Go!"

You drop the old man and take the men into the Flesh Pits, running up to Mileena. You try to grab her and pull her back, but she thrashes about and snarls. As Chomba wraps his arms around her in a great bear hug (or crocodile hug, if you will) she throws the sai at the central tank.

The blade hits the glass and it begins to crack. You watch as the crack spreads, each second widening before the entire tank collapses. Glass and green liquid surge outwards in all directions as the body inside is washed out onto the ground.

Mileena, still struggling as his happens, falls limp and quiet, as though she is no longer awake. You check her to ensure that she is alive, and she is, but unconscious.

You look over as the figure who was inside the tank begins to pick herself up. Slime drips off of her lithe form as she stands, her raven-black hair obscuring her face. Bringing up a hand, she wipes it away, revealing a face that, for all intents and purposes, looks exactly like Princess Kitana's. Save for her eyes---these blaze orange, like the Mileena you know.

She opens her eyes and looks upon you before giving a small smile. "At last," she says, stretching her arms out and yawning. "It was growing so cramped in that tank..."

She looks down and picks up the sai that was thrown. "I suppose I should thank the ones who freed me." Her eyes drift up to you. "A quick death, perhaps."

Shang pushes his way into the chamber. "Oh, you fools, now you've done it..." he mutters before making his way back to the exit, intent on getting the hell out of here.

You bring up an arm and create a barrier of stone using your earth powers to block the exit. The sorcerer scowls as you say, "Hold it right there, sorcerer! You're the one responsible for this mess, you're not going anywhere!"

As Shang slinks back against the wall, the Mileena clone walks forward. "You... You are powerful. That one," she points at the unconscious Mileena, "has many memories of you. She looked at you as an equal... Kaito."

"Explain what is happening," you say to both her and Shang.

"She is Mileena," the old man says. "As she was meant to be! She is the perfect clone that Shao Kahn desired, but I did not have the time to provide! And just as before, she was woken too soon! By you!"

"Enough out of you," she says to the old man. She turns her attention back to you again. "It sickens me that the half-breed at your feet polluted her body with you, but as I share her memories, I find that I have a certain... fondness for you and your power."

'Shared memories...' You hold up your hands. "And what are you going to do about it?"

"You may kneel before me and become my servant," she says, holding up her other hand. She summons up a second sai blade from your Mileena's side. "When I return to Outworld and claim my throne, you can rule with me. Not at my side, of course, but in a role that suits someone of your talents."

Her voice is Mileena's, her body is Mileena's, but the way she speaks, the intellect and malice dripping behind each word... Shang has done something to this clone. He said that this is Mileena 'as she was meant to be'... What could that mean? Cunning, evil, a true daughter to Shao Kahn? And how can she share memories with your Mileena?

"What did you do to her?" you ask.

"I was asleep, but she was awake. I no longer wished to be asleep, so I made her wake me up."

"Too soon!" Shang calls out. "You were meant to grow more!"

"I said enough!" she spits at him. "I'll deal with you later." She again looks back at you. "But first, you shall kneel before your new empress, queen and ruler."

"Sorry honey, but I've heard that song and dance before."

You raise your hand and blast forth a torrent of fire, intent on destroying this imperfect clone, but she teleports away in a burst of pink energy, appearing behind you and kicking you in the neck. She lands on her feet as you roll away, and when you're up again she's on you in an instant!

You block her first few viscious strikes as you remember what it was like to fight Mileena before she held back. She is powerful, and this new clone is no exception. The crew watch you two battle across the Flesh Pits, throwing kicks, punches and blocks as you attempt to use your powers against her, but she has powers of her own. She dodges, teleports, rolls and throws her sai blades, attacking as she laughs.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?"

"Wouldn't be the first time," you mutter, blocking a teleport kick with your forearms held in front of your face.

She flips back and lands before blasting two pink rays from her sais at you, which you dodge by turning into water and pooling elsewhere before reforming.

The New Mileena leaps up onto a table and smiles down at you as she pulls up her facemask. "I'm afraid this is where our 'relationship' ends, Kaito!"

"Yours and mine, maybe, but not me and the real Mileena."

"Soon you will see that the real Mileena is ME!" she says, leaping towards you with her blades leading the charge.

From the shadows, Shang Tsung watches, amused and chuckling softly.

You attempt to lead her towards Shang Tsung, as you tackle each other onto the ground between two of the tanks, but she plants her feet on your chest and bounces off, flipping up to the ceiling where she grabs the rocky surface and holds on, digging her nails and heels into the stone and dirt.

"I can't believe that pitiful mutant ever let you near her," she says as you stand up. "I'm going to work very hard on forgetting the memories she had of you."

"Your loss, baby," you say, taunting her a bit. "Frankly, I think she looks a hundred times better than you."

"Blind, or stupid?"

You walk over towards Shang, maintaining eye contact with her. "Better blind and stupid than ugly and evil."

>>409876

She springs off the ceiling towards you, whereupon you turn back into water and allow her to pass right through you, causing her to tackle Shang Tsung to the ground. She lands atop the sorcerer, who groans in pain, and pushes him away as she stands up.

"Come and face me, coward!" she calls out. "I'll destroy you, and then I'll destroy that despicable imperfect copy you brought with you!"

You reform behind one of the tanks as she stalks around the room. She calls out, "You think you and she know love? Children. Love is licking the blood of the fallen off of your blades! Love is seeing your enemies driven before you and taking their heads! Love is the screams of the anguished and the innocent!"

'Man, am I glad she woke up early,' you think to yourself.

Suddenly she pops up to your left and tries to stab you, but when you dodge, she breaks open another tank instead. A third clone washes out and slides nearby as she continues to try and attack you.

You charge in quickly and knee her in the gut, making her let out an "Oomph!" before delivering a fierce chop to the back of her head. She flips over and falls down as you turn and point your hand at her.

>>409954

Blasting her with a fireball, she slides across the floor, holding her side in pain. She gets back up onto her hands and knees.

"Kaito..." she whispers. "I... I'm hurt..."

You lower your hand as she whimpers, but then hesitate. "No, it's a trick."

She looks up at you with sad, sad eyes. "Kaito... Please, I love you..."

This makes you pause again, keeping your back to the third clone, who leaps upon you and bites your shoulder and neck. Her mouth is just like Mileena's was when she originally woke up, and now the perfect clone laughs as she gets up. "Fool!"

"Help me!" you shout to the crew.

"Tired of just watching," Tsuga says, taking out his pistols. He fires the flintlock firearms at the clone on your back, hitting her and making her fall off of you.

The evil clone, meanwhile, summons her sais and breaks more clone tubes. These other clones are all imperfect, like the third one, and soon rise.

"I control them all," she says with a large grin. "All of them, slaves to my will!"

All of the Mileena clones begin to hiss and cackle as they move in to attack you and the crew. Buturo grabs two of them and throws them aside as Chomba uses his large head to slam one into the wall before using his great bulk to pin her down.

Kojiro takes a moment to drag his captain, the real Mileena, back away from the fighting. When one of the clones attempts to grab him, he gets her by the neck and kicks her away.

Tsuga fires two more pistols before dropping them and drawing his sword. He swings at one of them, who catches his sword in her mouth, biting down on it. They push against each other as he grunts, "The things I've done on this ship..."

>>409992

The central Mileena clone advances, laughing maniacally. "It's over, Kaito. I have the power of numbers! You cannot defeat one Mileena, let alone a dozen!"

You look around at all the liquid from the tanks that has been released. "Numbers, maybe, but I've got powers you don't even know about!"

You focus and draw all of the water towards you, collecting it in front of you before blastint it towards her in a canon. This super-soaker water burst hits her squarely in the chest and sends her flying across the chamber, pushed up against the wall. Chomba and Buturo toss in a few clones who are similarly swept away and pressed against her.

As Kojiro fends off another clone, your Mileena begins to stir.

>1d100 and an action!

Where the hell did her teleportation powers come from anyway? Neither Kitana or a Tarakatan can do that. "Shang Tsung! How do we stop them?"

Kitana can teleport. She does it in her MK9 X-Ray. Blue energy for her, pink energy for Mileena.

I believe, in both cases, the teleportation is related to their enchanted weaponry; their sais and fans.

Keeping up the pressure on the water, you look back at the sorcerer. "How do we stop them, Shang? Talk, now!"

"All of them are blank," he says, picking himself up. "All but her. She has the implanted memories, the controlling mind. She---and your Mileena---are the only ones who can control the others!"

You stop the water and let them drop down. The evil clone picks herself up and looks at you. "Is... Is that your best, feeble one?"

>>410057

You crack your knuckles. "I wasn't even trying up until this point."

Bringing up a foot, you slam it onto the ground, creating a stone spike that impales one of the clones. You then bring your hands together and separate them, creating a hole under one of the others and causing her to fall into it, before clapping them together and slamming the hole shut, crushing her.

The evil clone watches with wide eyes as you methodically tear the others apart, unleashing your full potential against them. You have trained to hone your powers and now, against these dispensible, mindless clones, you can truly hold nothing back.

Tsuga, Buturo and Chomba step back as the clones die to your powers of earth.

>>410059

The evil Mileena then grabs Ensign Ricky, whom was not worth mentioning until this point, and holds the blade up to his neck. "Stand down, or I shall destroy him!"

You raise your hand. "Now, now, let's not do anything hasty..."

A precise, single blast of water emerges from your palm, focused on her sai blade. You knock it out of her hands and she lets Ricky go. He scrambles behind the others and back into obscurity.

You then blast her other hand, knocking the sai out of it as well. Then, you continue blasting her with water, pushing her up against the wall, continually buildling pressure up and up and up until it knocks the wind from her lungs and tears the fabric of her clothing.

You then stop and let her fall. She is on her hands and knees as she looks up at you, eyes full of fear and awe. "That power... How... How?"

You shrug and crack your neck. "I train and I train, but very rarely do I find myself in a situation where I can really cut loose and how how powerful I've truly become. I was hoping to do it on Onaga, but that didn't pan out." You raise your hand again. "Tell me, which would you prefer? Water or fire?"

"Enough," you hear a voice say. You look back and see Mileena, your Mileena, approaching. She picks up her sais. "I'll finish her."

"Are you sure?"

"We're in each other's minds," she says, looking at her. "I can hear her thoughts. She's about to beg for mercy, but if she is given it, she'll attack you from behind."

"Lies!" the clone says.

"Lie to him, but you can't lie to me," Mileena tells her. "Now I'm going to finish you."

You touch her shoulder. "I understand the sentiment, but let's do this together."

She looks into your eyes and warmly smiles as the clone on the floor reacts in disgust. "She can feel how I feel for you," she explains. "Clearly, she doesn't like it."

"I am what you were meant to be," she spits at Mileena. "I am your true self! You live in a deluded fantasy!"

"Perhaps I do, but at least I'll be the one who lives." You both hold up your hands as the clone shrieks. Mileena throws her Sai into the clone's neck and you blast her with a burst of water that could cut rock, effectively putting a hole in her head.

Mileena closes her eyes and rubs her forehead. "She's gone," she says, letting out a sigh. "Finally. I could hear everything she was saying and thinking. It was a mess..."

"Captain, are you alright?" Tsuga asks, walking up.

"I'll be fine, thank you," she says. She looks around at the dead bodies of the clones. "By the gods, love, how much aggression towards me did you work out on my clones?"

"Enough," you say. "But we've got plenty of time for you to give me more."

"Captain!" Chomba says, holding up Shang Tsung by the collar of his shirt. "I caught a sorcerer!"

"Let me down, you simple-minded salt-water-sucking reptile! I said release me!"

"Time to get to the bottom of this," you say, approaching him. Chomba drops him to the ground and the old man looks up at you distastefully.

"Ah... Kaito. Why must you be the source of all of my headaches?"

"You've got some explaining to do, old man," you say, grabbing him and pulling him up to his feet. "Why were you cloning Mileena?"

"Take your hands off of me! This is still my island, and I'll not be bullied! I'm a powerful wizard, I'll remind you!"

Mileena walks up behind you and laughs. "A powerful wizard that we both have killed, I'll remind you."

"I said let me go. I'll explain more but on MY terms!"

You let go, but with only one hand. You keep the other on his collar.

"Talk," you demand.

"Upstart damn warriors," he mutters. "I didn't invite you to my island."

"You never gave me permission to take your boat, either."

His eyes widen. "That's right! I didn't! You better not have damaged it!"

"It looks a hell of a lot better now than it ever did with you. But answer my first question: why were you cloning Mileena?"

Shang merely offers a non-apologetic shrug. "Because I wanted to."

You tighten your grip and shake his collar a bit. "Not good enough! What was your evil scheme, sorcerer?"

"Evil? Scheme?" He spits on the ground. "I tire of your self-righteous prattle, Akayama Kaito. I tire of your face, your voice, I tire of YOU!"

"And I'm getting tired of you interfering with my life!" you reply.

"You came to MY home!" he counters. "This is MY island!"

"Well, I could always do with it what I did with your boat: kill you and take it."

"Oh, yes, please, by all means," he rolls his white eyes, a barely noticable act in itself. "Go on, add to the tally marker list. Send me back to the Netherrealm for some more torture before I escape and come back. I still have a summer home in Outworld, you know, maybe you can kill me and take THAT, too!"

You cock an eyebrow and look at Mileena before turning back to him. "Don't try and play cute, sorcerer. You were literally cloning an evil version of Mileena."

"Well, she wouldn't have been if you hadn't ruined my experiment by bringing her here," he says, looking at Mileena. "You gave her a way to wake up early!"

"The hell were you planning on doing with her? And why Mileena?"

"She was the only genetic material I had available. I went through dozens of batches before I could once more refine the blood and make a perfect clone, as was originally intended. But the spells and the magic and the cloning process wasn't perfect... this lab isn't as good as the one I had under Shao Kahn, but I couldn't change that."

"You still haven't answered my question: why?"

"I'm GETTING to that, you impatient toad!" He sighs. "I was going to erase the implanted memories in the primary clone and install new ones. I was experimenting with hive-mind magic, inspired by the kytinn and the way their hive communicates... I was going to have an army of Mileenas, all controlled by one, central clone, loyal to me!"

"And then take your revenge on me and Mileena, you son of a bitch? Rule Outworld? Take over the realms?"

He all but shouts, "No! I wanted daughters to help take care of me and clean up my island, damnit!"

Well... You can't say you were expecting that.

"What?" you say, nearly stuttering. And again, you must ask, "What?"

Mileena can offer no words as well.

Shang reaches up and brushes off your hand. "You heard me! My island is filthy. Experiments lying around, the gardens aren't tended to, my beautiful home lies in ruin! I wanted it cleaned up! And then maybe I'd get a chance to relax."

"But you could just grow young again," you say. "By stealing souls."

"Bah," he waves his hand and the notion along with it. "Too much work. All they ever ended up doing is rising up against me. Besides, if I grew young again, all you or Liu Kang or that one," he points at Mileena, "would do is come along and beat up on me again. But are you going to beat up an old man, Akayama Kaito? Hahaha."

"I'm considering it."

"Well, do or don't then, I need to clean up this terrible mess you've made in my lab. All this glass and bio-fluid just gestating on the floor... disgusting. I need to dispose of the bodies now as well. Good work on that one."

"I don't understand, why the hive mind?" you ask him.

"Makes things easier. One central copy controls all of the others. Then I could just grow Mileenas and have them all be blank slates."

"What the hell were you going to do once they had cleaned up the island?"

"Have them take care of me," he says nonchalantly. "I'm an old man, you know."

"A sick old man," Mileena says. "You'd enslave all of these clones of me just so you could live in comfort?"

"Yes, yes, I'm so evil and vile," he says, walking up to one of the tanks. "Oh, look, you didn't kill this one."

One tank remains with a clone inside of it, covered in wrappings. You approach it with Mileena and look inside, seeing that it resembles her when she originally woke up.

"Well, if you're going to get rid of this one too, just clean it up yourself," Shang mutters as he walks off to fetch his broom. "You blocked the door with stone. I assume you don't intend on all of us to live down here forever, because I doubt you'd like to take the sewer exit."

"Is this one blank?" you ask him.

"Yes, yes, completely blank, no mind to speak of. Now where did I put that..." he trails off as he mumbles.

The crew keep an eye on him as you look at Mileena. "Can you feel her?" you ask.

She looks up at the glass. "I don't know... I think I can. It's strange... It's like she is asleep."

We will leave the choice of destroying the clone to Mileena. Might be good to explain to Shang the reason we were came to the island anyway

>>410371

>>D) Remove the stone blocking the exit
Lets tell him about our plan to renovate the island. Shang Tsung might even like the fact we are gonna clean it up

Let's see if he wants to be employed by the New Defenders as Old Man Shang who scares off meddling kids who poke their nose around the island.

After a few moments of silence, you turn away from the tank and lift up a hand, using your power to lower the stone you used to block the doorway. But before Shang can leave, you stop him.

"Hold it," you say, causing him to let out an annoyed sigh.

"Now what? More questions?"

"Well, you explained yourself... more or less. I'm thinking I should do the same."

"Oh, this should be rich," Shang muses.

"We came to your island because we want to establish a base here for a new team, the next generation of heroes."

"Absolutely not! This is my island! Not while I live!"

"What if I said we'd be willing to clean it up and restore it to good working condition?"

He pauses and pensively strokes his white Fu Manchu beard. "Continue."

"Our team, the New Defenders---"

"Stupid name."

"---is in need of a base. We have the people, and we've already successfully defeated Onaga, the Drago---"

"The Dragon King, yes yes, I know my history," he interrupts you again. "Don't patronize me, Akayama Kaito. I know Onaga's title."

You narrow your eyes. "You know, I'm starting to think I still have some left over issues from you killing my father."

"Oh, please, if that were true you'd have killed me already. You made peace with his spirit when you killed me in my palace in Outworld. We're even."

"That's not how it works."

"Well then do something about it!" he challenges you. When you don't move to attack him, he lets out a chortle. "Thought as much."

"Now, Shang, I'm trying as hard as I can to be civil. We want to use your island as a base. It's halfway between Earth and Outworld, so it's well hidden. Now, we can do this with you, or without you, and I'm starting to prefer the latter. Can you convince me the former is better?"

He grumbles. "Not much I can do about that. If you're going to kill me, then kill me. Otherwise all I ask is that you just leave me alone."

You look back at Mileena, who is still staring up at the tank. Turning back to him, you say, "Alright, but no magical clones or sorcerous tomfoolery."

"Tomfoolery?! Why, I should--!" He shakes his hands at you, his old knuckles turning white. "I am still a powerful sorcerer, I'll have you know! I make the demands here! And I'll accept having your team on my island only if you repair my palace here so I may live in comfort once more!"

"Only if you don't interfere with the team and our missions."

"Only if your 'team' stays on your half of the island!"

"We want two-thirds."

"You'll get three fifths at the most, and like it!"

"Deal, but only if you agree to not meddle in our affairs and use your magic unless you help train our team against sorcerers."

"I'll not help train your kids! Not unless another wing is added onto my palace, along with servants, food and clean water!"

"Hired help, not servants. They'll be paid by the government and you can't use them in any magical experiments nor mind-control them with spells."

"So long as they do their job, I won't need to!"

"Fine."

"Fine!"

He holds up his hand.

You bring up your hand and shake his. "Alright. But we're getting this in writing. I know a guy who is good with blood magik."

"Pah, blood magik, a child's toy," Shang mutters as he wipes his hand on his robe. "So long as you fix up my island, I won't bother you. I've learned what happens when I do, thank you very much." He then walks through the exit while grumbling.

"Should've figured he'd be annoying as an old man too," you say. You look at the crew and point in the direction he went. "Follow him, make sure he isn't getting into trouble."

They nod and leave. You approach Mileena again and look as she stands in front of the tank with her eyes closed.

The Mileena in the tank then opens her eyes and looks at you. It is slightly unnerving, how she looks exactly like Mileena used to, with the monstrous tarkatan mouth.

The one outside the tank then opens her eyes. "I can control her," she says. "I can feel everything she feels..."

"What is it like?"

"I... I cannot describe it in words I know," she says. "Imagine doing two things at once, multi-tasking, but on a completely different scale... Two bodies, two brains, two sets of eyes but one mind..."

"What do you think we should do with it? I mean, her. Or... you?" You scratch the back of your head, wondering how best to convey what you mean.

"I don't know," she says, looking at herself as she makes herself look back. "Imagine it, Kaito... Two of me. Fighting together, controlled by one single mind. I can already hardly tell which body was my original form, the one in the tank feels as though I have lived in it for just as long... Because it is my body, too."

She places her hand on the glass, then herself in the jar does the same.

'Two Mileenas...' you think to yourself. 'They'd be powerful allies on the battlefield... and elsewhere.'

Suddenly, an unescapable image flies through your male mind; you, in bed, in the middle of a veritable Mileena sandwich. Both of them working together to work on you...

'By the Elder Gods...'

You shake your head in a weak attempt to rid yourself of the tempting image.

You cough into your hand as you attempt to carry on normally. "Well, I'll uh, I'll leave it up to you," you say. "I mean, it's your body. Or bodies..."

You slowly step back, almost tripping over a dead Mileena. You try not to look at the corpse as you make your way to the exit.

'I have had a WEIRD fucking day today,' you think. 'I murdered---is murdered the right word? Killed several clones of my girlfriend and am now leasing property from the guy who killed my father. When I stop and think about this, this is really messed up.' Once outside the room, you pause and sigh. 'So, nothing out of the ordinary, I suppose.'

As you walk up the stairs and back out into the throne room, you see Shang sitting on his old throne with your crew lingering nearby. The old sorcerer is hurling insults at them. "I can't believe this is part of the crew on my boat."

"It's not your boat anymore," you say, getting his attention. "The edenian royal family completely fixed it up and gave it to me, so it's mine."

He waves his fingers. "I don't need it anyway. I could make a much better boat if I felt like it. I could make a fleet! I have the magic."

"Right, right," you say. "Well, whenever Mileena comes back up, we can move on. I'll contact Johnny Cage and---"

"Oh, don't tell me that buffoon will be involved," Shang says, facepalming at the mention of the actor.

"---and we'll start moving things out to the island," you finish.

You wait for several minutes. Just when you're about to go check on her, you hear footsteps coming up the stairs. The crew look on with you as Mileena exits... followed by herself.

Two Mileenas now walk into the throne room. One wears the garb she once wore during the days of the Mortal Kombat tournament and the other wears her current outfit. You approach them and look them over; though they are alike, there are some differences that can be seen when they are side-by-side like this. One of them has been alive for twenty years, so of course there are. Captain Mileena's body is a bit more sun-kissed compared to the paler, tank-fresh-flesh of the clone. Her body carries only a few scars from past battles, and the clone has none. And of course, Mileena's first body looks somewhat healthier and more well-fed, as opposed to the thinner clone who has only been sustained on nutrient-enriched biogel.

You speak. "Mileena?"

"I am here," she replies in both voices.

"Are you always going to do that?"

"No," she says, speaking from her prime body with a little laugh. "But I could."

"That's fine, thanks," you say, looking the clone up and down. "So... How do I refer to you? You're not exactly multiple people, but there are two of you."

"I am Mileena, the same as before," she says nonchalantly. "Only now, I am two. One mind, two bodies."

"You certainly came around to this idea quickly," you say, trying to keep calm from this latest development. You then notice that Shang is sitting on his throne with a strange smile on his lips. "What's so funny, Shang?"

"Nothing, nothing. I'm just glad that someone is getting something out of this. And until you rebuild my island, it's not me! So get going!"

"Well, we will soon enough," you tell him, turning back to both Mileenas. "What about you? Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Mileena leans into your ear and whispers, "Think about it, Kaito... It's a blank body. I may control it now, but what if we were to offer it to someone else?"

You blink a few times as you begin to realize what she means.

"You don't mean..."

"Yes," she whispers. "Perhaps this could be an alternative. She could free the body she has control over now and return the little girl's soul."

"But she would be... Well, you."

"Not entirely me," she says.

"What are you two talking about?" Shang demands, leaning closer from his chair.

"Nothing," you are quick to dismiss him. "Nothing at all. We should... We should get the longboat ready. Tsuga, Buturo, Chomba, Kojiro, you guys get ready to return to the ship."

"What about Ricky?" Kojiro asks.

"Huh? Oh, right, yeah, him too. We won't be far behind."

The four of them (no, wait, five) leave as you and Mileena stay to speak with Shang Tsung.

"Now, tell me about this team," he says, sitting back. "I didn't know Onaga had returned."

"He did, but not anymore. A thief from Outworld who had the soul of Shao Kahn defeated him."

The old man cracks a brow. "A thief... You don't say. The soul of Shao Kahn? And how is my old employer?"

"Dead, for good," Mileena says. "His very soul was destroyed."

"Ah, how fortunate," Shang says. "This little thief... His name?"

You speak up. "Cao. He's been adopted by Kotal Kahn and is now heir to Outworld's throne."

"Quite a story indeed. He is on your team?"

"That's right."

"I can't wait to meet him," Shang chuckles to himself, laughing at a joke only he can know. "And the others?"

"The new generation. Johnny's daughter, Sub-Zero's son, that kind of thing."

"Goodness, so many children are going to be scampering around my island. I'm glad I never had any." He then looks over at the two Mileenas. "Well... in the conventional sense."

"Are there any dangers we should know about before we assemble the team?" you ask.

"No, no... Well, there may be some wild animals here and there. A few experiments in my free time. I had many traps on this island during the time of tournament, and I'm fairly certain there are still a colony of oni living in the dungeons near Goro's lair..."

"You have a bunch of oni in your basement and you never cleaned them out?"

He shrugs. "I'm old."

"Anything else?" Mileena asks.

"Oh, yes, that's right---the bridge over the pit is broken."

You nod. "Alright, well, we'll see about getting that fixed but I think we're going to have to remove the whole "spiked pit" thing. That's too dangerous."

"That's classic and I'll not have you touch it!"

"If we build a new bridge, it's going to have safety rails," you tell him.

"Fine, fine..." he grumbles.
