The ChoasRealm {rp area}

[Cain]

-Terror ignored her trying to do what he expected was make him feel better but it wouldn’t help as he looked over her form as she changed trying not to stare. He took off his robes so that he could put on a pair of black jeans that still allowed him to bend at the knees easily along with a black button up shirt and a black leather jacket. He held out his arm once she was dressed and didn’t respond to her question not wanting to let her know he had enjoyed her without the dress more then with it. He lead her out of the cabin and past his father until they reached a shed that was almost impossible to see unless you knew it was there. He pulled open the doors and a large motorcycle was there which he climbed onto and started it looking to her”get on and hold on tight”. Once she was on they took off for the city taking it slow so she could see this part of the realm and he would answer any questions about the realm not questions about his family or himself.

War felt his anger rise with such wrath that the lava pits below actually began to glow brighter and some of them were so hot the sulfur on the walls became super heated making them burn blue showing his rage was growing with each word she spoke and nothing would quell him now. He watched her walk away but would not have this so he followed her to her little fit”your a worthless child sister, you do not remember anything but enslavement try and remember when the council made us slay our kinsmen and once you do, think of your words, you do not deserve your title or your place as a horsemen, you think you are simply peace, you bring conquest to everyone even the peace of the world. We will not stop being the horsemen if we are freed we will simply have choice”. He stomped off but turned when he reached plague and swung his arm if it made contact the male would go flying into the lava pits, knowing it would not harm the male is why he did it” grow the fuck up Plague i’m tired of hearing your constant bickering with your sister, it been more centuries then anyone but Death can count and i’m sick of it”. He walked to the edge and jumped down into the lava pits and walked away his fury so great the lava evaporated before it could reach him. He would continue to grow with more wrath the longer he thought on this, this wasn’t the first time War exploded but it definitely was the worse. He found his wrath leading him into the arena of violence in the ring of violence against others. He removed his ring putting it in the center of the arena and screamed “come fetch it bitches the ring of War lays in this arena who will take the chance to claim its power”. No warrior could wear his ring but him, hell it took a god to remove it from him, the thought of a being able to lift the ring would be unheard of. He saw a wave of wrath demons, his favorite so he ran at them in what appeared to be his human form but he had learned a trick when the elder gods had taken his ring, how to still use his powers away from the ring, this was going to change his visits to earth when Death found out. He summoned his blade and with a single slash five of the demons fell to the ground the first four being severed in the torso the last three were rolling around screaming as there legs were now cleaved off at the thigh and knee. He then saw Wrath himself then envy and the other sins sitting in the stands, he knew Lucifer wouldn’t be far behind but he didn’t care as a huge behemoth, a war machine demon climbed over the wall and into the arena. This thing was at least three stories tall leaving War no more then an ankle to slash at. He ran full force and with the first slash cracked the front and then the back armor of the creatures leg before he rolled dropping the sword to get out of the way of the coming onslaught of the creature stomping. He took in a breath as he saw the thing realize his plan and it wasn’t going to have it so it kicked War’s blade up into the stands which Wrath caught happily before it was stolen by Greed and claimed by Pride while Envy looked positively green over it. He was just glad Gluttony didn’t eat the damn thing that would have been a mess he wouldn’t of wanted to search through. War without his normal weapon made two fists each of them being covered in twin metal gauntlets one was attract and repel. He began to run between his legs weaving back and forth using one gauntlet to pull rocks that had long since been smashed from the arena and never cleaned up and repelled them at the creatures skull only hitting it a few times before it caught on. He soon realized the sins were controlling it using there knowledge to fight with this demon without directly interfering. He put on the mask of shadows and the glove that acted like a harpoon and with the mask looked for a weak point on on the creatures this took some running on his part around the creature before he noticed a part of the armor on its back was parted so it could be removed and repaired. He shot the harpoon then pointed the repel glove at the ground and shot himself towards the creature using the harpoon to give himself direction and added velocity. He landed directly on the creatures back with legs out and when he made contact the creature wavered leaning forward and back but never fell so War began to climb. The creature began trying to swing to reach or knock off War from his back but it was no good with the armor and the fact War was between his shoulders made it easy to hide so he began to just punch harder and harder at this mound of flesh till it began to bleed and tear away till the spine was revealed which he wrapped the rope of the harpoon and launched it again ripping the vertebrae out of its back making the creature cease all movement and fall crashing to the ground below seemingly taking war with him but once the dust knocked up by the creatures descent he was seen laying beside the creature breathing deeply turning to look at the sins who threw his blade back at him it landing in the creatures skull sunken in about halfway. War rose to his feet and fetched his ring before walking over and pulling out his ring before he kicked the creature his full power restored and it would soar over the arena wall and back into the fires of violence below. He vanished slamming the ring on Deaths desk and vanishing back to earth though when he got there he noticed his arm was covered in sigils and he felt like almost all of his power was gone guessing Death had already seen his knew trick and took precaution. He walked into his favorite bar which was ironic as it was called the Seven Sins though once he walked in the bar maiden all yelled “Daemon”. He walked over to his normal table but a bunch of college kids were there they bar maid named Lilith he doubted it was her real name just a gimmick for the bar tried to make them move but they thought not of her warning so they stayed put and waited for war to reach them when he did they looked him over and told him to get lost. Daemon as he was known to these beings grabbed the ones bottle and held it out to him before saying”guess you didn’t hear the pretty lady, get the fuck away from my table before I shove this up your ass”. The stood and shook his ass at war so he grabbed the guy by the neck bent him over the table and right through his pants shoved the bottle up his ass neck first and then kicked his right check hearing him scream and cry while his friends helped the guy out the door saying they would get pay back The manager came over to Daemon and told him to leave for tonight so he put the money that the boys owned for there drinks on the table along with a large tip and walked out seeing the boys in a large truck made him laugh. He walked around the corner and then drove away in a lamborghini veneno which he smirked seeing the faces of all the people gawking at the car. Of course it was bright red as it shot across the pavement but he reached the outskirts of town did he realize he was being followed but not by humans but an angel. He got out and walked onto the top of hill and yelled loud enough to be heard” I do not take kindly to being stalked by a creature not on my level”. He did not expect the angel that walked before him to be Michael in a long white suit not a hair out of place in his long brown hair and his blue eyes looked like they could burn your soul out”you should look elsewhere for such an angel as we are very much equals as of now but I come on different terms, He knows of your plans and wants to offer you a chance to claim your prize without the need of combat all you must do is find four new beings to give the rings to and he will grant out a planet far far away that you will never have to feel the wrath of such violence again”. Michael did not wait for an answer as he vanished leaving War to sit on his car and think on this wondering if what was said is true or if this was a twisted plot that would backfire on his kin in the end he would not know as he was trusting one being who had forsaken them or a ground of beings who have forsaken entire realms with there balance. War knew Death would be listening and now thinking on this as well so he laid back on the car feeling the engine come to life felt good on his back as he silently thanked ruin as he ran his hand across the car like he was brushing the horse.-

Tenebrae sighed a bit as she got bored in waiting. Some of her bruises were looking better but she still seemed in great pain. She watched for three hours as Kabal stood there, then switched places with Sub-Zero, sitting beside her. Tenebrae looked at him then said, “So…” She looked at the ground as she grit her teeth in pain. When she spoke again she looked at him and said, “After I told you… What I was doing… How come you didn’t attack when I came back?”
Kabal didn’t hesitate as he answered, “I trusted your word that you would not take my soul.”
Tenebrae smirked and shook her head from side to side in a slow rock. “You’d trust the word of a Kahn?”
Kabal looked directly at her and said, “You’ve given me no reason to not trust you. You gave me one to trust you though. You were forward and honest of what you were doing.”
Tenebrae smiled sincerely and said, “Thanks.” She looked at the rest of the meat that was left over and picked up another, just nibbling at it anyways. She waited a long while until she asked another question, “Why are you like that?” She decided to place a hand on him and trace her fingers over his flesh.
Kabal grabbed her hand and pushed it away. “Your father.” Simple answer.
Tenebrae looked down and under her breath said, “oh…” She gathered her breath and said, “I am sorry… I know it may not count for much but… I really am…” She reached to touch his skin again, just fascinated. She noticed he was just letting her and placed her hand on his shoulder. She wanted to hug him but didn’t feel right doing so. Instead, she moved to stand. Kabal reached to pull her down and Scorpion came to push her down too. Tenebrae went back down to sate them and said, “Got stiff, damn it…” She waited until Scorpion had his back turned and stood up, leaning against the wall.
Kabal looked up at her and said, “You don’t know how to listen, do you?”
“Not really,” Tenebrae said, “You told a little about yourself, my turn. I didn’t learn shit from my parents.” All three of them seemed to stare at her. “Yeah, neither of them bothered with me. I was dumped with a Tarkata and raised that way. I learned what I could just from what Yemara told me about them. I learned sorcery on my own. I learned how to fight on my own. Yemara was a tarkata, not a parent. I was deemed perfect then thrown out into nowhere just like the rest of my siblings… No wonder they are all so fucked up…” She snarled a bit and pressed her head back. “Born in blood on the darkest day… pure evil they said… fucking perfect…” She sank back down and curled up, wounds not even bothering her how she was.
Kabal didn’t really know what to think of this but when she was completely on the ground, he placed his arm around her. He just had his arm there, awkwardly trying to comfort her without giving her the wrong idea. Scorpion watched from afar and shook his head. Sub-Zero returned his gaze outward to watch for the souls hunting her. Kabal became more comfortable with holding her as the hours passed, Sub-Zero trading shifts with Scorpion. Tenebrae just seemed solemn and out of it, like she didn’t care anymore. Kabal finally spoke to her as he said, “So… you were assumed evil and perfect because of the conditions when you were born… Sounds like typical prophecy bullshit.”
Tenebrae rocked over against him a bit, nodding. She said, “It does… It’s like they think I am Shinnok take two… I know I am not…” She curled up against him and flopped over into his lap. “I am not a fucking evil thing… I am not perfect… I am just a fucking woman who was thrown into a horrible circumstance cause of the parents she ended up with… That pool of aging… It works wonders… Everything is so much clearer and I am now an adult and still can’t deal with teenage drama emotions.” She growled and then said, “Noob’s supposed to be keeping his end of the oath we made and I don’t see it…”
Sub-Zero decided to speak up, “He’ll keep it. He’s most likely working it now. Why do you think you’d get ditched in the middle of angry souls?”
Tenebrae raised her head up and then said, “Fucking bastard…” She just stayed there in Kabal’s lap. It was awkward to him but she liked it there. Tenebrae stayed there until it was Kabal’s turn to watch. Then she sat against the wall. For an hour she thought about it and stood up. She said, “Alright… I am going to make this a bitch on them…” They all three looked at her and then looked out, it seemed that her father was coming up alone. She smirked and despite the pain she moved out past them and said, “I will deal with this…”
“You’re still injured,” Kabal argued, Scorpion and Sub-Zero coming up to stand next to him.
“Fuck the injuries…” She stepped forward as she squared up to her father, him still coming as she scooted her left leg back, her right hand up and clawed in front of her. Her left hand came up to be clawed in front of her chest, right foot facing her target. Her hands circled in outward directions and made sure to never meet in the same place twice. She waited for Shao Kahn to throw the first punch, her circling her hand over his and pushing it to the side. She stepped in and swept her leg behind his to force her knee into the back of his then brought it back around to kick him down. This brought him to the ground and she backed off, gritting her teeth due to her injuries.
She heard someone running up behind her rather loudly, turning and seeing that finally Cyrax and Sektor came to play. They came out because of seeing that they weren’t protecting her this time. Tenebrae caught one fist and pushed it to the side, ducking under another one to thrust her hand palm first into Cyrax’s abdomen. She then pulled herself to the side by pivoting on her foot as Sektor tried for a straight kick. She then took the opening and thrust her palms at him. She proceeded to feel Cyrax head-butt her side and she fell over. She saw them both stand over her and she launched herself up with her palms aimed to their noses’. Sektor and Cyrax rolled in opposite directions and then hit her arms to try to snap her elbows. She had pulled back quick enough that they hit each other and then she hit them both in the chest. “Fuck off… I have enough without dealing with you…” She then backed away while they tried to catch themselves. She went back to her spot and sat down, taking deep breaths.
Sub-Zero walked over to her and tried to help her, his hand getting swatted away. He went aside and Kabal came over to her and said, “Let him help you.”
“No,” Tenebrae said as she looked at him. “I am supposed to get stronger from this… healing can be done alone…”
Sub-Zero came back over and placed his hand on her wound again. Tenebrae gasped and was going to bat him away again but Kabal said, “You will, with help.”
Tenebrae sighed and shut up to just take it. She wasn’t happy with it but she glanced up at Kabal and decided to ask him a question, “Wanna fuck?”
Kabal was taken back by that and said, “No.”
“If you’re feeling self-conscious I can ask them too,” Tenebrae spoke openly as if it was nothing.
“I said no,” Kabal repeated. “Besides, you need to heal.”
“Okay,” Tenebrae said then just sat still. They’d await the next day, simply trying to get her healed with fights every now and again.

Venir woke up within a couple of hours, realizing he’d slept in his robes again. He offered a yawn and stood up, walking out to go find himself something to eat. He knew most of the guards were asleep, heading to the food reserve to grab something for himself. He went rummaging through the supplies and grabbed more food than it looked like he could eat and took it with him down to the prison cell. Yemara was about to look up but Reiko made a noise to tell him to keep his head down. Venir smirked and said, “Ah… Showing the new prisoner the ropes, I see…” He stood up, taking a piece of meat with him and rubbed it on their faces. “Smells great doesn’t it?” He chuckled and nibbled at the meat then.
“Smells like shit,” Yemara spoke up.
Venir hesitated, giving a glare to him. He stood back up and grabbed Yemara by the throat as he spoke at him, “Speak up.”
“It smells… like shit,” Yemara spat right into his face.
Venir backed off then grabbed a prod and jabbed it through his skin. Yemara yelled out loud enough to wake some of the guards. Venir smirked and said, “Soon… You will be broken like he is… Then I will break you further until you give me what I want… Then I will free you…”
Yemara looked up at him and looked about to speak, but Reiko spoke up, “If you want OutWorld to remain… Don’t speak, Yemara…”
Yemara then held his tongue and looked down. Venir chuckled and glared at Reiko as he said, “Oh you shouldn’t have done that!” He grabbed searing hot coals in his hands and shoved them hard enough that they stuck onto Reiko’s flesh. He grit his teeth and bared it, breathing fast. Venir cackled with that womanly cackle, backing away and not caring that he burnt his own hands in the process of torturing his victim. He calmed himself then and looked over at Yemara, smirking. “If you don’t wish to end up like him, I would suggest you talk…”
Yemara looked at him and then at Venir and said, “Over my rotting corpse…”
Venir smirked and said, “That can be arranged, I only need one of you.” He grabbed another pole and stabbed it through Yemara. He was certain it didn’t hit organs and would just make a pretty gruesome looking hole. “You both may think on it while I indulge on what I brought with me.” He moved from them and went to his food, eating in front of them.

Zerek heard a commotion outside, his faction was active and someone was here. Why would anyone break into the front doors of a seemingly abandoned structure, especially one that has always looked on the edge of collapse. The stones had always seemed to hold despite their looks, this wasn’t going to end now. He stepped out into the min courtyard of the building, once a great foyer surrounded by stone and now a courtyard surrounded by a hall with rooms, not a tent to be seen. He saw the large lizard and heard of the female tarkata speak to one of the males. “I don’t think the lizard should be here,” He spoke so all eyes from the tarkata went to him. “That thing is not one of us. Looks like some dick here to enslave us once more and we aren’t going to have it.” He stepped forward and looked to the damage the lizard would have left behind from barging in, most likely giving the creature damage. “What idiot barges in and demands the blades of my people? Planning to cut them off and use sorcery to make them into something special? Barbaric… And you didn’t knock.” Zerek was obviously pissed. “If you want blades then go find some of the upper class, they’re more deserving of the torture…”

Domme took the lack of comment for her looking horrible in it. When his arm was offered, she took it roughly. As they passed Deverik, she didn’t pay him any mind as she was a bit mad to find out he was alive. The traitor. She then saw as they came up to the shed and saw the motorcycle. She was told to hop on but she didn’t trust it. He appeared to trust it so she mounted onto the back and held tight onto him. She squeaked when they started moving and held on tighter. She watched as things passed and all the lights. She asked, “Why are there so many lights? And how do they work?” She gazed at some of the neon there were and said, “Are those captured glowing snakes or some shit?” She was very dazed just beginning the experience and once more, found herself frightened. She most likely was gripping him as tight as possible. “How does this thing work anyway? Mini dragons?” She looked down at the pavement beneath them and jammed her head into his back.

Deverik saw the two leave and attempted to not look at them directly. He didn’t want to be pissed off anymore. He simply stared at the gate and reflected on what he’d done. He felt like he’d abandoned his children just as he’d been abandoned, but he only raised them the way Sub-Zero had asked of him. He was there for them, hell the entire clan was there for them. He thought he had been raising them like a human, like what he wanted to be. He reached his hand up and tugged on the shoulder of his yellowed armor, it was slipping a bit. He’d need to get that fixed, it seemed that he was still growing a bit and the shoulder had gotten knocked loose. He just rolled his shoulder a bit and felt the muscles move, feeling the plate slip again. Yeah, that was going to need fixing, but not right now.

Plague listened to the ruckus of War following after Conquest. It could hear him and watched as he came back. Then something sudden happened, Plague was flying! Into lava. Plague took some luxury on the trip and screamed, “WHEE!” When it hit the lava, it came out and climbed back up as it heard what War said, “First off, you ruined my clothes. Second off, if I ‘grow up’ then I’d just be a sad sack of saps like the rest of ya!” Plague went to its room and placed on a new pair of pants then walked out and went to Conquest. “What he said about me pickin on ya, I am sorry. You are the saddest sap and I always thought Death was supposed ta be. Forgive? I only pick on ya ta try and make things lighter.” It offered its hand to her.

The jester continued to walk through the fields and stopped seeing a large boulder. She stopped and smiled watching it she noticed something it moved ever so slightly most would never notice but she had a trained eye to find even the slightest movement as she had hunted many a beast that knew how to almost stay perfectly still. She started to walk around it her finger nails where long and sharp but she wasn’t sure if she would be able to do any damage to the beasts hide. Her mind danced over thoughts of how to enter the beast how to cut into it how to make it open up without having to go through ones mouth again she didn’t have a way to hold on this time. Though how to enter the dragon she was unsure of the other was easy this one was sleeping. “Hum to wake a savage beast from its sleep? To kill it is one thing though I want to rip it apart.” She said loud enough if the beast was paying attention it would instantly know the danger it was currently in.
The Ferryman looked at her, hearing her words and stood there. He smiled and took one of the scythes and swung it into his hand holding it like a sword and looked along its length to the curved blade and smiled. He wondered how she would handle such a weapon or if she could even hold its weight. With a slight smile curving along his lips he tossed it into the air towards her and watched as she flipped into the air and did a corkscrew round off and snatched t out of the air He was surprised when she landed with it in her hand holding it one handed and the face on the mask twisted into a sadistic grin. He was surprised by the fact she could hold it and the fact she almost seemed happy about having such a weapon in her hands. This made him question if this was the right thing to do but maybe it was time for another to rise.

Chaos looked to Zerek and smiled bowing low opening his wings then kneeled and shifted into a sitting position crossing his legs and bringing his arms in setting his hands on his ankles making himself as small and weak looking as possible. He folded his wings behind him and flattened them against his back to further shrink himself. “You see I am on a holy quest for all the realms.” His face then contorted in pain as he gripped his gut and almost let a sound escape his mouth as he doubled over the pain evident as it tore through his body. He shifted and groaned but the sounds that came out where loud enough that thin pieces of glass would have shattered. He then lifted his head still doubled over and looked back to the Tarkatan. “I wish to restore the realms take them back to default which should if i remember my history right give you and your kind their freedom true freedom. What I need is your blades in my arms I have a way to do this without sorcery.” Most would think the beast had lost his mind any that knew where he came from would think he was just acting normal but in truth he was saner there then here something was breaking and destroying his mind. His lips didn’t move in fact it appears stitching was forming in them again almost as if to seal his lips again. He then grinned wide his sharp teeth and large canines exposed “Just need to feed me.”

Conquest listened to war as she sat there trying to remember a time before this but all she found was slavery and bondage. She heard her brother go flying and wondered if what she would see would be her sister and in that moment she found a memory one that reminded her of life without orders. Then she looked up to her family and lifted her hand taking it and nodded. “I will try do better but there isn’t much more to our lives then this but maybe that day when me and you ran in the fields with our horses laughing about how humanity was ignoring the gifts they had. Maybe we can get those days back? If you didn’t pick on me maybe I wouldn’t be so determined?” She asked him then smiled and looked up the stairs. “Tell war to bring death to the council room please come with I wish to speak with you all.” She smiled true joy on her face as she then touched Plagues shoulder and squeezed then walked off heading for the council chambers she had something important to say and it was making her happy. She almost started to skip her heels clicking across the stones as she slowly pushed open the doors of the council chamber and smiled looking to the round table they shared she was tiny compared to it and would have to climb up into the seat but she didn’t want to be her normal size not right now she was happy being small.

-Terror smiled”humans use technology such as machines powered by fuel to allow them to get from one point to another and the lights are powered by electricity an energy that powers most things here”. He reached a place that he had come to know was ran by his clan. He walked inside pulling up a stool for her before ripping the one next to it from a man who turned to scream but instead locked shocked as he realized who Terror was. In this part of town he was the pro fighter so the man ran away quickly. Terror sat down next to Domme and ordered them both a weak drink as he tried to decide what to do next. Terror watched as three men were looking over his company and he was not pleased her form must be what made them gawk as she was almost twice the size of a normal woman. He rose up and slowly unbuttoned his top with his form now revealed of nothing but muscle he looked to the three as he held out his hand to Domme”feel this next part will be to your satisfaction”. Terror slowly walked down the steps and yellow fabric fell onto his shoulders and draped his form as he reached the bottom if Domme were to look up she would see his image half his face covered in the mask of scorpion the other half his own. He smirked as the three guys were forced into blue robes and then they were allowed to choose any weapons they wanted while Terror stood with none. He stood the center as Domme would be lead to a chair that looked like a thrown but before the formalities could be finished the three scared men ran at Terror and struck him in from behind. He turned back to the three and his hand was covered in ice before he busted the skulls of them” you know this was suppose to be fun, you idiots get your asses kicked then are allowed to drink free for a year and get half off as the casino for a month but instead you have to ruin the fun of the guests by attacking me before it even begins”. He walked back up the stairs” I think i’m starting to hate Earth realm”. Most people didn’t understand him but he knew Domme would. He headed for his bike but decided he would rather walk as he buttoned his shirt”anything you want to do or see before we begin training tomorrow”.

War was laying on his car when he felt the door to the council open and he felt the seals on his arm burn hot and Ruin roared loud and they both vanished from earth War landing in his chair looking across from his sister and all he could think was hate for her. He felt she still didn’t remember there kinsmen and for this she was damned to him.

[Lord English]

Tenebrae continued to fight her own battles, her wounds not keeping her down the next day and them only coming one by one or in twos made it much easier. She made sure the only ones that she’d kill over and over were those she knew had done completely wrong, her parents. Others she only beat them into submission and let it settle that way. She sat herself down after this one battle, feeling horrible about what she was doing just to survive and get her place back to normal. She looked up at Kabal and said, “How can any of you do this?”
Kabal thought then said, “What do you mean?”
Tenebrae motioned towards her last knock out and said, “This… It’s as bad as Kombat but I was the only person who didn’t face that experience. You all said you’d fought in it at least once. How?”
Sub-Zero decided to answer first, “At first, it was not a good thing that drove me through…”
Kabal looked at him then to Scorpion, who didn’t seem to want to talk. Kabal said, “Usually no one has a good reason to enter Kombat. Not the first time.”
“This was my first time and all I wanted was for OutWorld to stop throwing a shit fit against itself over a god damned throne,” Tenebrae sighed then saw there was another challenger approaching. She stood up and said, “What the fuck is it now?!”
“It’s me again,” Smoke came walking up and placed his hands up as a sign he wasn’t there to fight. “I just want to talk.”
“About what?!” Tenebrae was nearly growling in her voice.
“About this,” Smoke advanced slowly and stood at least five feet away from her when he stopped. “Listen, I understand that what you did, I had no right to attack you afterwards. You had won fair and square. Without tricks or traps.” He bowed his head and said, “I would like to help in protecting you.”
Tenebrae looked him over and then said, “Fuck off.” She stepped backwards, making sure to not turn her back before she got past Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
“Why?” Smoke stepped forward just for Kabal to take stance between the two of them.
“Because I don’t trust you,” Tenebrae turned back to him and spoke with a strong tone. “I had defeated you fair and square. I kept up my own end of our deal and you decided it wasn’t fair. I beat you down with my own strength alone while you poofed around like a little nitwit. You came in behind my back and I won’t let you stab me in it. So fuck off.”
Smoke sighed and decided to sit where he was, waiting for a possible chance to prove he wasn’t going to stab her in the back. As another came up, he stood to face it. The approaching person was Mileena, ready to right once more. As he got into stance, he heard Tenebrae yell, “Back the fuck off. She’s after me and you have no right to fight my battles. Neither did they but they were helping me get back up off my injured ass. You were one of the ones who put me on it… So fuck… the hell… OFF…” She strode forward and broke into a long stride, punching Mileena in the face. She watched as the teeth broke off the partially tarkata genetic sibling. She then said, “You fuck off too. Sick of seeing your face…” She walked away from her then, not wanting anything else to do with her. She went back behind her grouping and sat herself down.
“I just wanted to prov-“
“You would have only proved that now that I had beaten your ass twice that you just want to kiss up to mine,” She was sounding hostile towards him but her body language showed she just wanted to be left alone. “So go climb up Noob’s ass and kiss that instead…”
Smoke wasn’t going to move from his spot, sitting down. Sub-Zero came back to her and said, “You shouldn’t be treating him this way.”
“If he really wants to prove himself to me,” Tenebrae spoke to him, “Then he will take it as a challenge. Obviously he isn’t going anywhere so calm yourself.” She leaned her head back against the wall and looked at her fist, littered with cuts from shattering Mileena’s teeth. “What doesn’t kill you…” Was all she could get out of the statement before she looked up to see Sub-Zero was still hovering.
Kabal walked over and sat down beside her, Scorpion took watch. Kabal waited for Sub-Zero to walk to the other side before he asked her a private question, “Why did you ask such an offbeat question yesterday?”
“I am not normal,” Tenebrae smirked and giggled to herself a bit. “I was told if I asked for it, it’d most likely happen… Isn’t the first time I have been rejected but now I wouldn’t take control of the situation.” She rocked her head to look at him and said, “I have raped women… I have raped men… But once the tables have been turned… That’s when things change… That’s why I asked… I am horny and well… I like you. I have no other way to put it.” She rocked her head to stare at the ceiling. “Sorry…”
Kabal stood up and held a hand out to her. She gave him a confused glance as she placed his hand in his. He said to her, “We’re here to help you, so just this once. Alright?”
Tenebrae smiled and nodded, raising up to her feet and following him deeper into the overhang, so they were covered by its shadow and concealed. It made their sounds echo out, the three out towards the edge trying to not look back. They were at it for hours, their sounds clearly stating that they’d gone several times. Even some of the ones hunting Tenebrae just paused to hear and watch, some of them went away. When they had finally finished courting one another, Kabal went to take watch, needing to sit in his spot. Tenebrae managed her own spot to sit down and leaned back against the wall, she was sweating a lot. Sub-Zero went and procured water for her, her drinking happily. She seemed satisfied but her mind only wanted him more now. He pleased her in more ways than one.
It was another half day until Tenebrae woke back up. She finally was able to fight for herself again and did so. She felt wonderful and full of energy and it showed. She was no longer telling them to fuck off but wasn’t killing any of them. This was gaining them those who were willing to stay and watch for her on the good end of the hell stick. Whenever Kabal got off his watch shift, she would take him into the back again and give him another good round or two. They had to make the shifts longer just so they could rest afterwards. They called her out for one fight, this was against her father once more and she stood at the ready. She said, “I really don’t want to fight you right now.”
“You just want to go fuck your toy again,” He chuckled at her.
“No,” Tenebrae replied back knowing that they were out of earshot of her grouping, “I want him to love me.” She stepped forward and let him punch first, pushing his fist away and slamming her hand onto his chest. He stepped back a bit and she brought her leg up and kicked him in the chin, slamming it back down as she brought her other leg around to kick him in the chest as he went down. She then looked at him and said, “Something you were incapable of.”
She then went back to the growing group, which was now her, Kabal, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Smoke, Liu Kang, Cyrax, and Sektor. They had come together due to her being able to reason with them during fights, not wanting to end them and showing her human side. A grunt was heard where she’d left her father. She turned and watched to see him get back up, yelling at her, “I am not through with you!”
Tenebrae stepped back out and said, “You were on the ground, you sure looked through.” She got into her dragon stance and said, “I don’t want to kill you, but I will if you don’t turn around right now. It’s a bitch to reform, I hear.”
Shao Khan didn’t listen and ran at her, she took a deep breath and felt as he came. She took a sudden step forward and placed her palms at his chest and groin, lifting him up over herself and throwing him backwards. He ended up skidding on his face then his back. Tenebrae turned around and said, “Done yet? Or do I have to keep my promise?”
Shao Kahn glared at her and said, “You should have never been my daughter…”
Tenebrae smirked and said, “Yeah, I should have been a daughter for your long gone brother. At least he would have cared.”
“How do you know about him?!” He asked as she was getting ready to end the conversation.
“I talked to the people here. They told me about him and how great he was, unlike your sorry ass,” Tenebrae giggled then slammed her fist down into his head. She then sighed at the blood as it dripped off her hand and walked back to the cave and said, “I really want him to stop coming back.”
She sat herself against the wall again as she smiled a bit, satisfied in what she said. Her satisfaction was slightly disturbed by the looming figure of Sub-Zero standing over her. He’d heard what she had said last, even if it was meant to be just between her and her father. It was appearent Scorpion heard it too as he was right behind him. Sub-Zero asked of her, “Who told you of Raiden?”
Tenebrae smiled and said, “Scorpion did. The only thing I have ever been told is that he should have been my uncle and that he was a great person… and that just mentioning him bugs the shit out of my father.” She giggled a bit, getting a kick out of what little she knew as Sub-Zero seemed satisfied but wanting to tell her more. It was left at that as she went back to her routine, the talk being left for later.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Venir finished his food after a few hours, picking at it to savor torturing them but enough that it would make them want it bad. He felt great after it and due to his metabolism, he did it quicker and safer than most could. He saw how they were just looking at the ground and chuckled. He moved to them and lifted their heads as he said, “Wish you could have had some… Actually, I don’t.” He then took the opportunity to punch them both in the face. He sighed then he felt something, yellow eyes narrowing his pupils to a near nothing. He thought about this call he was hearing and determined it was best to respond. He let out a deep breath and said, “I will deal with you both later…” He placed his hand on the mark on his neck as in a blink, the dark molded walls of the prison were replaced by crackled and should have been crumbling walls with the sky in full view instead of blocked by a castle above. He knew he could now not attack who was called to help this sibling nor the sibling in question but it would do for now. He examined the situation as he saw Tarkata lining up behind them and getting to see his brother Zerek. He also saw a cloaked brother he assumed was Regir. He then looked forward to see who they were called to stand against. He readied his hands for the fight, green glowing around him and swirling in screaming skulls. His stance placed his feet close to one another, standing nearly straight up with the exception of his feet forming a T as he waited. His one hand lay open parallel to his stomach, palm facing up, whilst the other was in front of him, palm also facing up as the green skulls seemed to enjoy circling that hand the most. Out of his siblings that had shown so far, he was sure he knew best who Chaos was and was regretting being put against him. Even if he was threatening their home in some way or another, this matter shouldn’t have been his to deal with.

Zerek glared as he heard the lizard’s demands and he pulled out his blades and said, “I am a champion of this realm.” He sliced a line into the ground and the Tarkata rushed to get behind it. “You are not welcome here.” He placed his hand on his mark and focused on who he needed to arrive. His first pick was two very unfamiliar feelings, these were kin he’d never encountered before and did not know of Dread and Terror. He then reached out for Venir, knowing he was the most adept magically and the eldest and most battle ready. Then he tried to reach the strongest sibling, his signal unavailable. This lead to a moment of wondering why the hell he tried and reached for the second strongest, her signal unavailable. He then went for the third and let the signal ring. He saw as Regir was the first to answer his call then Venir as he glared back at Chaos. “Either you leave here now or you stay here in your grave…” He was not going to put up with a threat towards his people and made it clear. “You will not harm a single being of OutWorld as long as a single champion lives!” He then noticed the thing the lizard was curling around and said, “A guardian attacking a champion is an act of war. So beat it.”

Regir had been wandering the sands, his normal way of being. When he received a signal for help, he thought about abandoning it. Then he believed this could be an opportunity. He placed his hand under his wraps of cloth and appeared next to his brother. He saw the line and saw who else was there. He looked forward and saw the lizard they were facing. He recognized this being as the one who ruled as a guardian in Chaos Realm. He’d wandered there once. He then placed his hand up, his fingers already wrapped around a sword as it pointed at the creature. He stood with his legs apart, strong and one of the larger Kahn’s in build.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Domme was happy with the responses she had received on her questions and followed him into the bar. She blushed a bit when he ripped the seat out for her and she sat next to him. She first sipped her drink but found it was very weak. She ended up chugging it before he stood up and spoke. She smiled and stood up, following him silently as she watched, sitting where he showed her to. She sat and when the men had jumped the gun, she had stood back up but he’d already knocked them over. She placed her hand over her chest, smirking at him as he lead to take her out again. She walked with him as they left and listened to his first comment then when he asked what she’d like to do, she responded, “I want to know more. You shouldn’t hate this place.” She sighed and said, “I may have only seen a few realms, everywhere has its good and bad… I want to learn more here. It is so beautiful.” She tried to get hold of his arm and said, “I was half ready to clock those guys but I wouldn’t have been as… um… Restricted as you were. Why show such restrain to hostility? You and your people should be gods above them but you are among them instead and hiding.” She stopped and said, “Also I want better alcohol! That shit tasted like water.”

Deverik began to pace at the gate, he seemed antsy but for no good reason. He was half worried of the sisters his sons had got, what they could do to his boys. If Night had died and it wasn’t from their hands, it could only mean it was one of his siblings. If it was one of them and the boys were out with them alone, he’d wreck the world just to make sure he never lost another. It wasn’t his place to, this wasn’t his place. His thoughts reside as his own soul asks the two masters inside for guidance once more, receiving only answers he had long been getting. His frustration would raise and the temperature drop, removing his arm guards as his arms grew cold at his total lack of concentration. He stared at them and sighed, leveling himself back out as he thought about the clan. His mind traveled back to what his masters had done for him and what he should do, the temperature normalizing and his arm guards placed back on as the flesh warmed. He couldn’t harm them out of a worry for one, sons or not. He just had to wait and see. He saw one of the others passing by and said, “You, go to Terror. Send another to Dread. Just watch. I do not trust who they are with.” The one nodded and took off, Deverik being left to his thoughts.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Plague smirked and was going to go do as the sister asked but didn’t. Plague went straight to Death’s office and stood outside a moment. It sighed and then whispered through the door, “Death… Conquest wants to speak… She seems out of sorts… I guess you knew that though but we should be wary…” Plague then ran from the door to wind up in the council room. It sighed and looked at War, keeping its mouth to itself as it sat with its back straight. Council room meant business. Business meant no goofing off. No goofing off meant being completely serious. It didn’t even let its vermin out, sitting like statue.

She stood holding the blade and spin it balancing atop the shaft as the blade was on the ground arms crossed over her chest looking down at the dragon and grinned. She then filled the area with a hideous laughter. The Ferryman seemed unimpressed but it seemed to have caught the dragons attention as a large eye opened shifting its eye up to her then closed its eye shifting some as its tail shot out snapping the handle of the scythe. The jester moved with the break shifting down and gripping the handle of the scythe and the brought it up holding the blade and as the tail came back for another strike. She stood there head bowed as it came down when the tail hit the ground burst forth creating a cloud of dust. As it cleared the jester was running up the tail dragging the scythe along the dragons tail the scales cutting like butter and she flipped ripping it out and brought the blade down into the dragons head as its eyes shot open glowing bright then slowly dimmed her Gauntlet gloved hand came down on the dragon as she pulled its soul the dragon crumbling to dust under her. As she climbed out of the dust dragging the scythe out behind her. A Scythe came down behind her and tore through her chest the blade glowed with a dark purple light before her mask went black and cracked reviling the face of a child as her body went limp. Her body twitched as her essence was ripped from her the Gauntlet pulsed shooting back to where it belonged.

Chaos’s smile slowly faded hearing the words and tilted his head his lips then jerked as they were pulled tightly shut by the stitching. He then opened his hand and slammed it into his cut tarring into himself and his hand gripped tightly and he fought screaming as he jerked out the Kamidogo and held it in his hand and narrowed his eyes squeezing it tightly as its already damage state allowed for it to crack further and he started to laugh his mind snapping the more it crack then it shattered as a burst of power shot out as a 2 second moment of insanity set out on the area around him but his mind broke instantly and he leaned forward getting onto all fours looking like a dragon now his head weaving from side to side as he looked towards them His tail flicking from side to side his head then shot to the side having caught sight of it out of the corner of his eye and turned to snap at it as it got just out of reach and he started to run after it ending up running in a circle in front of them chasing his tail.

Conquest sat and watched as the others arrived she had a major announcement to make and wanted to have all present this was something she had thought a long time ago but never thought to say. She was preparing herself her ring sitting on the table in front of her. They had lost so many and she knew she had killed her fair share of their brethren and now understood what she must do she was getting ready to take up arms but this was an unprecedented move by her.

[Cain]

-A figure was bowed before the council of kings as he was granted a gauntlet and the new sigil that allows him to move through any realm not just Earth. The male rose and turned back and the corridor windows opened and the burning sun shown in. The male walked through the light the sun left blisters on his moonlight pale flesh and once he reached the end of the corridor where he was healed by being in the darkness. He now felt where he should begin his hunt for the Jesters killer. He vanished entering earth realm not even caring to look around before he stepped through the portal entering the chaotic world. He then vanished before the creature leaning down he picked up apart of the mask based on the shape and from seeing the object for centuries it was easy to see figure out this once was the eye of the mask. He looked to the creature under his hooded cloak making sure it was watching”rise back up your job is yet to be done, I have not given you freedom to die at my feet”. He poured power into the left over residue that was found in the mask. He laid the piece of mask on the ground and watched the pieces reform together and then a liquid would flow out of the mask into a pool that waited fro the jester to pull its self from in the last form Malstaine had seen. He turned his head as his sword formed in his right hand and the gauntlet of a specter was on his left”I come for you specter in the name of the htrae Council Law, do you comply or do you go by force”. Four chains snaked out from under his robe each pointed with a silver that shined with moon light.

Terror smiled”i’ll show you the world if it keeps me away from my father, I don’t hate the world, I hate the fact that I am hidden from it, that I am only a shadow and that what I am can never be known”. He walked along the path heading for a park taking a winding path that circled the pond” We hide from humans because they have created things that can ruin this beauty”its things that could destroy this entire realm if they were given the cause to do so”. He keep walking kicking a rock as he did so but right before he was going to send it flying with one good kick his neck burnt so he grabbed the mark and vanished the next sight he was shown was Chaos acting like canine chasing it tail. He looked to see his brother here as well which made it so they both could breath a little easier. Terror ran at dread they fused once again so they could share there power. They looked to the other knowing Venir but not the other two so he was pissed”why the fuck were we brought to Outworld”.

War watched as his siblings gathered each taking there chair he finally put on his true form placing on his ring was only polite when before Death. He saw his sisters ring in a box and he did not like where this was going already”I dont know what your planning sister but it better be good or ill leave you here in the council to never leave”.-

[Lord English]

Tenebrae rose on their next ‘day’, walking to Sub-Zero as he was on watch. She just stood beside him and said, “I will take watch.”
“You’re the one we are protecting,” He spoke seriously, “I will continue my watch but in exchange I will give you information on your uncle.”
Tenebrae looked at him and then down. She gave a slight nod and said, “I would like to know.”
Sub-Zero smiled a bit behind his mask and said, “Your uncle and father are children of the fallen god Shinnok, who used to be of here. He is here, just no longer a god.” He took a deep breath and said, “Your uncle was a master of lightening. He became a Guardian of Earth Realm as your father was the Guardian of OutWorld. Your father fell, but Raiden rose to take the place of the god that fell. From what we know, it was simply old age.” He looked down but a moment as he turned to look at her, “He protected EarthRealm time and time again with his life. Placing it there even when he was full. He would even give up his powers for the protection of EarthRealm. He was very good.”
Tenebrae smiled a bit and said, “Thank you.” She looked at the ground as he turned to look back out, her raising her head to look at him again. “I wish I could have met him. I know that if he is residing in heaven as a soul that I will never meet him. I have already damned myself.” She chuckled a bit and then pat him on the shoulder, “At least now I know about him.” She was going to walk back to the group but thought of something and asked, “What makes someone a guardian? Obviously it doesn’t have to be good.” She turned and looked at him.
Sub-Zero peeked his head over his shoulder and said, “No… It’s the Kamidogu.”
Tenebrae walked back up to him and said, “The what?”
“The Kamidogu,” Sub-Zero repeated, “It is the epicenter of the realm, its functionality, the item a guardian is charged with protecting to protect the Realm.”
Tenebrae’s jaw dropped a little and then closed her fists. “Damn it…” She looked back up at him and said, “I get it now! I get it!” She suddenly hugged him then ran back to the group, tackling Kabal and forcing a kiss on him, “I get it!”
“Get what?!” Kabal spoke confused, trying to push her off of him.
“How to stop any of my siblings from ruling,” Tenebrae smiled and then got up off him, “Once Noob lets me out of here, my siblings are going to have hell to pay.” She looked into his eyes and said, “I need to finish here, find Reiko, then ask him where it is. Yemara said he knew the will. I can take the Kamidogu and protect my Realm from my siblings and reject the throne!” She placed her hands behind her head and screamed, “IT’S PERFECT!” She laughed a bit and then said, “You are an awesome group!” She then giggled and saw them all staring at her. She took a deep breath and said, “And… I… I would always visit. I am growing real fond of it here.”
“If he will let you visit,” Scorpion spoke up. “Usually a Guardian stepping into another Realm gets the Elder Gods in a fit, thinking it’s hostile.”
“Why would I be hostile?” Tenebrae questioned. “Yeah I have been thrown out in the past and did a few things I regret but… This is what is making me love it here. What will make me want to come back.” She looked across them and sighed, “I haven’t known some of you for long, but you had enough respect to try to help. I thank you and give my gratitude for it. That’s why I like you already.” She locked her eyes on Smoke and said, “Even you.” She then looked to Kabal and said, “You the most.”
The grouping seemed appeased with this but Kabal said, “Why me the most?”
“You don’t get the hint do you?” Tenebrae said, “I am head over heels about you.”
This was when it grew silent. He had nothing to say back. The silence continued until the group began talking again, sharing details and adventures, what they knew. Tenebrae always listened but Kabal wouldn’t join. When she went to sleep once more, the next day she found that she did not feel well. She plowed through the first fight of the day and went into the deepest part of the cave to hide her getting ill from the others. Smoke had followed her and held her hair back for her, walking her back to the group as he said, “You mustn’t hide this from the others. We’re here to help you.”
Tenebrae chuckled a bit and said, “You would come…” She expelled more and then breathed heavily. “The fuck is wrong with me…” She leaned on him a bit as he helped her back to the group.
Smoke spoke as they walked, “I don’t know. Maybe it is the food.”
“Last meat I ate did look undercooked,” She giggled as she went to her old spot against the wall. She felt like crap.
“It’s been sitting there for days,” Smoke commented as he helped her down.
“I’ll go get fresh,” Scorpion took off for the market that smuggled other realm’s food in.
Liu Kang rose from where he was sitting and came over closer to her to check her out and see if he could figure out what was wrong. Sektor and Cyrax went to the large amounts of meat the group had stored for her and got rid of it. Smoke decided to take the watch for the time and went to take his place. Sub-Zero got a container and placed ice into it, sitting it near lava to make water for her. Kabal decided since she had said what she did the previous day that he’d come and be by her side, holding her hair. She looked at him and said, “Do you care?”
Kabal thought about his answer and gave a nod. “Enough to stand by you.” He then corrected and said, “I don’t have strong feelings for you, but I admire you and hope you will be the Guardian of OutWorld.”
Tenebrae smirked and then saw Smoked get into stance, she then heard what was going on. Shang Tsung had appeared and he stepped forward saying, “I am not here to fight.”
Smoke glared at him and said, “Then what are you here for?” He didn’t back down, making sure to keep in the way between him and Tenebrae.
“I am here to see my daughter,” Shang took a step forward and said, “I wish to talk.”
“Now’s not the time,” Smoke said.
“Let him talk,” Tenebrae yelled out, just before leaning to her side and coughing up more of what little remained in her stomach.
Smoke moved out of stance and stepped to the side, letting him through. Shang Tsung walked through them and went to his daughter’s side and knelt, out of the way of where she’d expelled and said, “Tenebrae…” She looked up at him with her weakened eyes. “I came to say, where Shao Khan never seemed to care for any of you and your siblings… I had placed special care to make sure you all lived. Taking my soul angered me, but it proves you had taken some after me. I wish to stay.”
The grouping around Tenebrae looked to her for her answer. Tenebrae thought and said, “You may, mother…” Tenebrae smiled before she had her issue again, more just dry heaving as there was nothing left to come up.
Shang Tsung looked at her and said, “Sick?”
“Food Poisoning,” Liu Kang interjected.
“Doesn’t look like it to me,” Shang Tsung placed a hand on his daughter’s back as she curled partly onto her side in her fits. “But we need to wait to see if I am right.”
The grouping tried their best to care for her through the day, someone always watching Shang Tsung. After hours, she had stopped throwing up but still felt sick, she didn’t complain of anything else but when it came ‘night’, she was ill again. She eventually passed out, sleeping well through her usual time.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Venir saw Chaos and prepared to attack as he seemed about to then the tail. What in the hell was going on. He calmed down and let the green sink back into him as all of the sudden, Dread and Terror were there and fused. He heard them ask in anger why they were in OutWorld. Venir turned to Zerek and said, “Why the hell did you summon them?!”
Zerek jumped at the fact Chaos was chasing his tail then to be demanded of answers from two he didn’t know and then from his eldest brother, he snapped at Venir, “Shut up it’s not your business!” He then looked to Dread and Terror’s fused self and said, “I am very sorry, you see I didn’t recognize the feeling and I was hoping you two would be helpful. I am Zerek, one of the Free. That lizard was going to attack us and the mark is a blood oath. I called you here with it and I apologize.” Regir just waved at the siblings and Zerek said, “And that’s Regir, he doesn’t talk… Much… I never heard him talk.”
Venir walked over and smacked Zerek on the back of the head. “Don’t pull who you don’t know into a serious situation!”
“I was seeking help!” Zerek said then shoved Venir.
“Seek it with who you already know will help!” Venir growled and shoved him back.
Zerek then tackled Venir and pinned him to the ground, “FUCK OFF!”
Regir looked to the two fused brothers and in a deep graveled voice said, “Apologies… My siblings are morons. Who are you from?” He tugged his robes to assure that not even his eyes could be seen through his robes.

—————————————————————————————————————-

Domme smiled and was ready to see the world when all of a sudden, Terror disappeared. She had noticed him grasp the mark and ran to get back to the motorcycle. She hopped on it and pulled the throttle as hard as she could and held onto it tight. Balance wasn’t the problem, just trying to control it was. She tried to pretty much drive straight to the Shirai Kuei. Deverik had been staying near the portal and was suddenly nearly ran over by the motorcycle as Domme leapt off. She grabbed Deverik by the throat and said, “The fuck you do that for?!”
“Do what?!” Deverik pushed her hand from his throat.
“Summon him!” Domme took the opportunity to slap him.
Sepht wasn’t far behind and in the nude. “WHERE IS DREAD YOU ASS WIPE!”
Deverik made the temperature drop with his frustration but as he growled out at them his words were as fire, “ENOUGH!” The two backed down from him and went silent. “If they are not with you when they were and if I don’t know where they are, this can only mean that they were called elsewhere!” He then looked to the portal as he calmed down and said, “They could be anywhere…” He took a deep breath and looked back at them and said, “You both will spread out and find my boys.”
“But!” Domme started.
“DON’T ARGUE,” Deverik commanded her and she backed down. He could feel heat and cold mixing on his arms, burning with both their sensations. Then he said, “Domme… Try ChaosRealm… Sepht… Try OrderRealm… I will try to pass through as well…” He turned to the portal and tried to walk into it. He was rejected from the portal and he growled at it as he said, “Let me look for my boys! Damn it!” He then thought of what he could do, the two sisters passing through to go to the two different realms. He knelt down at the portal and placed his hand where his mark used to be. He sighed and said, “I shouldn’t have ever done that…” He gazed up at the portal with hurt eyes, hoping they could be found.

————————————————————————————————————

Plague watched as Death arrived and placed its hand over its own ring, rubbing it. It noted the box and then looked at Conquest and War. Its eyes moved to Death as it whispered to itself, “This is not good…” Plague then looked back at the other two, hoping nothing irrational would go on.

The Ferryman almost laughed with glee he was free again no one hunting him no one could find him here how that one got here he didn’t know but was happy he was safe again but stopped as he looked to the man that came forth it bent down and touched its prize. What happened next shocked him no one could do that he pulled her essence he had stolen it he was the ruler of that soul. He then saw the thing reforming and blinked staring at it realizing what it was as it pulled forth to form and saw it filling it the face he looked upon he did not recognize. She had long ice blue hair that hung down to the floor the tips just barely touching the grass they were standing on her tarnished silver eyes were hollow for a moment then life snapped into them as her blue flesh accented her body she was a slender beautiful woman. She reached out snapping the mask form him. As soon as the mask touched her hands it smiled just as she did almost happy to be with her again placing it upon her face her hair shot out and twisted and soon the jester looked complete again as she should be and smiled tilting her head towards the ferryman and the mask frowned though she was smiling with malicious intent. Holding her hand out the scythe he held ripped from his hands and shot to her she spun it then slammed it shaft first into the ground and continued to stare at him as a tiny dark mirror showed up and she slammed her hand through it pulling it out she had a gauntlet upon her hand once more. “Now you pay for betrayal. You must have been my target from the start they warned the demon was crafty and that I could not hurt it well now you will know suffering.” Her voice was enthralling and made hearts weep with joy and desire.

Chaos continued to run in circles tell they all saw a green orb appear above them and go flying at incredible speeds almost looking like a flaming green skull as it slammed into the lizard that was being so foolish. The body bounced across the ground skipping and soon sliding to a stop engulfed in green flames. It held all the signature marks of Quan`Chi. Soon the body shifted twisted and a sonic roar came out filling the halls but doing little to no damage accept for hearing it also temporarily blinded everyone when their sight returned what stood was a massive dragon its wings open wide its horns stood tall anyone who were learned in this realm would know this form. “I have returned.” Was all they heard echo through the area and throughout the realm as his voice boomed out of his chest.

Watching as death showed up she sat with her ring off watching her brothers this was serious and all of them took that tone with wearing their rings. “I have killed more of our kin then I care to remember. I have turned my back to us all as I cannot see I life outside these walls But today I make an offer for any who care to take it we four are to go to Mortal Kombat it seems and fight for our lands. I request we four go as one.” She stated then stood on her chair so that they could better see her. Her arms crossed over her chest. “I will make amends for my transgressions we all deserve to be free I remember running with our horses free me and plague laughing about how it was like a dream. Then the council showed forced us to kill our brethren. But unlike Wars name I took the charge destroying them tearing them down. I cannot ask forgiveness but I can ask for a chance at redemption. War said I needed to grow up and remember a time when we were free I have and know my mistakes. I am the weakest of us always have been this is why I ride first to set the stage. You all put me there to protect me I understand this but now I ask for a chance to show my strength and gain redemption.”

[Cain]

-Malstaine slowly walked a few feet away from the Jester as he watched her retrieve her gauntlet”looks like someone is going to be canned since both of us are wearing one now”. He showed his gauntlet before his soul bane formed in his other hand and it hissed as the blade formed from the hilt pure life was what this blade was made of something demons couldn’t stand the touch of and something that could destroy a reaper. His form would shift into the huge demon there were four giant wolves coming from the chains on his back each of them stood as tall as a full grown man and each had four eyes stilted and bright yellow acid dripped from there many fangs. Malstaine turned his head speaking” Im a demon of Nightmare, you feared that she could return to finish the job so my powers are shifted to life, She shall finish her job and return what is left of you to the council on htrae”. Malstaine snapped his fingers and the collars binding the wolves released and they ran at full speed after the reaper”oh and that acid is made of deaths breath so I doubt you could stand it for long”.

Terror turned to the male who was covered in wraps “we are the sons of Deverik”. He didn’t care for this other sibling the one with blades but he was more worried about Chaos up till the point the green fires erupted blinding him. He created a wall of white fire to block any attack Chaos might throw but when none came he dropped seeing the old dragon of legend made Terror’s anger only grow as he spit at the beasts feet” you shall run and run far Onaga” Terror’s right hand was now covered in the black ice and the tempature to his right would drop ten degrees while his left was covered in the white fire and the air would rise by ten”I wonder how hard it would be to cook you before using your skin as armor”. He walked forward and the ground around him would melt and freeze over and over again it growing hotter and colder as he grew closer to the beast”run little dragon run for hell fire is all you have here”

War slammed his fist on the table hard enough the entire table bounced “let me put this way sister”the day you can take my ring will be the day I die”. He rose up and Death placed his hand on War shoulder” Let her take it for now, it does not hold your power nor will mine till she proves she needs it or deserves it”. Death turned to Conquest taking off his ring laying it on the table and a woman in fine leather turned and walked from the hall no waiting for any questions”. War took off his ring turning back to his human form placing it on the table”sister if your lying to us, Death will know and I promise you will die!”. He turned and left the hall”leave your ring plague and leave her to herself since she doesn’t want our help, oh and Conquest I saw a boy while I was there kill him and ill make sure he takes your place”. He turned and walked to his room slamming the door and using the seal lock there

The Elder Gods-Summon him and send him to Outword

Noob Saibot received the alert and opened a portal into outworld where he walked forward looking to Onaga” Im sorry Chaos but your going to have to die my old friend”. He activated his powers and smoke would appear next to him ready for battle.-

Tenebrae seemed fine the next time she woke, hiding how she was feeling from everyone in the group. She looked across the grouping and heard that more were approaching. She stood and looked to see that the ones that had left before now seemed to want to speak. She stepped forwards and looked across them. Motaro, Kintaro, and Sheeva were the ones who stood before her and she bowed her head to them and opened her arms, welcoming them. They followed her back and despite some tensions, they all grouped up and seemed fine.
About the middle of the day, Tenebrae was starting to feel ill again. To their dismay, another had shown up, Frost. Tenebrae strode forward despite feeling ill again and prepared herself. She spoke out, “What is it you seek?”
Frost looked at her and said, “I want to fight but something has been stopping me.” She pointed her finger towards Sub-Zero.
Tenebrae chuckled and said, “What are you? A wuss?” She smirked then and said, “Everyone else came. They weren’t afraid of him. You need to balls up.” She calmed herself as she felt close to vomiting, speaking, “Your choice. Fight, run, or join.”
Frost ran forward and launched her fist at Tenebrae. Tenebrae pushed her fist to the side and winced a bit from some slight cramping. She then punched at Frost’s face, hoping to end it quickly. She made the shot and Frost fell over, just unconscious. Tenebrae was done trying to kill everyone who wanted to fight her. She walked back to the group and slid down into her spot and rocked her head against the wall. Kabal decided to ask her, “Are you alright?”
Tenebrae placed on her best smile and said, “Yeah.” Lying through her teeth but she didn’t want him to know. She looked and saw Sheeva and Shang Tsung talking, assuming it was about her since they kept looking. Kabal moved away and the two came over and made sure no one was in earshot. “What?” Tenebrae asked them.
“We think you’re going to have a child,” Shang Tsung spoke silently to her. “But we aren’t too sure yet. Are you feeling anything else other than the throwing up?”
Tenebrae looked at them both and sighed, “Yeah… I know you’re both trying to help but I have an urge to punch you both in the face…”
“Mood swing,” Sheeva pointed out, then receiving the punch in the face.
“Sorry…” Tenebrae said and curled up a bit, now feeling sad. “Then there’s just feeling full… I don’t really want to eat cause of it but I try to keep a schedule… So… Yeah…”
Shang Tsung smirked and said, “I will walk you through this if we’re right… Okay?”
Tenebrae nodded and leaned up, hugging onto him. He was a bit shocked from this action but he held her back. She just did this to hide herself on someone, even if it was just for a few moments. When the hug ceased she nodded again and said, “Thank you…”
Shang Tsung placed his hand on her shoulder and said, “I just hope you care for your whatever you may spawn more than what we could afford, if you will have one or some.”
Tenebrae smiled and said, “I will… and I hope you are right… I want to be able to prove I can.” She then sat back and slid herself up. She stood despite still feeling like crap. She had to eat something and decided to nibble on some of the meat she’d left behind from an earlier meal. It made her feel better to an extent. Then she looked and saw Frost had gotten back up. Tenebrae stood and walked back out, saying, “I suggest you stay down if you plan to attack again.”
Frost got ready to fight again but as Tenebrae stepped to get into stance, Sub-Zero stepped in front of her and got into stance. Tenebrae was about to tell him to get out of the way, but realized what good this would do. She stepped back and watched. Frost froze up but ended up running away. Sub-Zero teleported in front of her and knocked her back out with a quick hit to the head. He walked back to Tenebrae and said, “She needs to learn.”
Tenebrae smirked and said, “So do I… Would you be willing to teach me more?”
Sub-Zero looked at her and shook his head, “You are ill.”
“But I am ready and willing,” Tenebrae spoke with a strictness in her voice. “Some have to fight when they are ill, the enemy will not wait for recovery.”
Sub-Zero smiled behind his mask and got into stance. Tenebrae stanced up too and he moved out of stance to correct her posture a bit. Then he went in front of her and made her performed what she’d learned when he was inside of her and talking soul to soul. She performed each strike and he’d show her when she’d done wrong and help her perfect her stances. She would then turn and perform it again and again, always getting corrected when she got it wrong. She only stopped once mid-stance to curl over and dry heave. Sub-Zero placed his hand on her back and said, “You should rest.”
Tenebrae huffed and said, “I have rested enough… Just senselessly pounding people into the ground will not make me improve…” She stood straight up and said, “Come on, let’s do this.” She made him move and started the form over. She performed it perfectly and moved onto the next one, using the memory of what she had learned to perform it. He helped her through until it was one of her regular eating times, making her stop to go eat. He even stood there to make sure she did. When she finished, then he let her continue practicing. She went through every stance from start to finish until she felt satisfied then turned to Sub-Zero for application.
They sparred for a couple hours, him knocking her onto her ass many times but her getting right back up to fight. She got worn out and sick several times but she made sure to plow through it until he was satisfied with her work for the day. That was when she finally found a spot to just lay down and sleep. When she woke up, she ate and got right back into training. This time she went the first half of the day without incident. When she seemed ready to move her application to more than one person, Scorpion joined in. She had trouble getting the two opponent thing down and they went easy on her at first, though she was learning it quickly and getting the application down with only a few times of getting sick. They halted when it was time to make her eat again. She was having fun despite her issues and would head back up ready as ever when it was time for her to get back to training. She felt free while training with them, not really needing to restrain her strength since they could handle it. Then when she was getting good, they made Sektor and Cyrax join in and help her get it down further. Applying it to four was like two and she was getting it easier. After a few hours of sparring, the five of them stopped and just took a break.
Tenebrae went to Shang Tsung and Sheeva and said, “Well, I am still sick. Maybe you both are right.” She smiled and continued, “But we shouldn’t tell until it’s totally sure.”
Shang Tsung nodded and said, “Wouldn’t want to jump the gun but I already told most of them. Just so they would be careful with you.”
Tenebrae sighed and said, “Why weren’t you like this when… Oh…” She looked down and said, “Yeah you kinda died before you had the chance to really have interaction with me… Sorry…”
“Don’t be sorry,” Shang Tsung said, “You turned out great, even if you don’t take after your father as much. You stole souls right out from under a guardians nose and managed to evade him and convince him you had a noble goal. It was impressive.”
“But not a rouse…” Tenebrae spoke firm, “I will protect OutWorld… With my life.” She rubbed her thumb over the mark of her oath. “Even if it means damning myself…” She got up and walked out to get to training again. In this next session, they added Smoke in to see if could deal with five. Sometime during her fight, Smoke had disappeared and she’d have to adjust. The application only got easier and she seemed to be excelling. She meant to ask where he had gone but found that maybe it was something to do with Noob. She let it off her mind and stuck to routine. That was all she did the rest of the day besides eating and getting sick, sleeping only when it was her time to. She stayed replenished and was waiting, patiently.

Venir saw the shift and shoved his brother off, standing up and shaking his head when Onaga was revealed. Then to see so many begin to take aggressions towards the beast, he started to feel safe. He got back into stance and made green skulls appear around him, ready to send them at Onaga in a single notice. He was shaking a bit but he was going to fight through what fear had been taught to him and show he deserved what he was seeking.

Zerek had been distracted when Deverik was mentioned and blurted out, “But he’s dead.” This allowed Venir to shove him off easily. The moment the green occurred and Onaga appeared, he only had one thing to think about. He ran to his tarkata and gathered them, placing his hand on his neck to get his faction out of there. Once they were safe, he appeared back to them and sent out a call to any of the remaining siblings in OutWorld. He made sure the message rang out to let them know who the enemy was before they arrived. Then he readied his blades and stood firm.

Regir smiled beneath his clothes and was proud of such a nephew. Then he looked up as the green sputtered and tilted his neck to the right. A pop was heard then as the dragon stood as Onaga, he leaned his head to the left. Another pop before he centered himself and placed his hand out. Grains of sand traveled from his cloak and to his hand as he gripped his weapon of choice. He was even more proud of his nephew for threatening the creature. This would be an interesting battle indeed, especially with reinforcements on the way.

Deverik stood up after a few moments of his sulking and placed his hand on the portal again. He still wasn’t getting let through, so he started bashing himself on the portal. Then he felt a sudden lift as he tumbled through, making sure to roll on his shoulder and stand up. As he stood, he took in why he had been released into the area. A feeling of total dread flowed through his body as the thought of the reptilian before him and only one word could come to his mouth but was covered by his own breath, “Onaga…” He took then immediately to the offensive and saw his son taunting the beast to run. He decided to try to give it nowhere to run to. He shot out two ice balls, meant to miss the beast as the balls slid to a stop in the forms of his masters. They stood behind, ready to move as he was ready to strike. He looked over to see Noob and Smoke, only peeking but glad to see them.

Several siblings answered the call, appearing in a near circle around the being. First was a tall man, covered in armor except his head. His eyes glowed to hide their color beneath, his posture and precision in his steps suggesting he was in fact a soldier. Vendict drew his four swords and held them in his hands, holding a steady grasp as he prepared to help the oath he was called to. The next to the call burst from her calling in the form of a blue lion, fires of the same color as the fur licking off the beast to the air. Kaos let out a loud roar to the enemy, fangs and claws primed. The next came from his portal and a sense of peace emitted from him. He pulled out a crescent blade and wrapped it in his magics of tranquility. Weren then stood with a sideways stance, the blade primed in one hand while the other pointed forward at the enemy. Another showed in the form of their Animality, a red tiger with bloody eyes who seemed prime to just rip anything apart. Teror roared as well and primed claws, fangs bared. Following her was another Animality, this time it was not feline. A wolf as large as a human with blackened fur and red eyes howled a bloody battle cry as it reared back to growl at Onaga, Kael’s tail waving back and forth. Dahk walked through and raised his hand to Onaga, getting a feel of the darkness in the creature before taking those who were there and connecting the shadows, a ring of darkness so there was nowhere to run. He also borrowed the natural darkness of OutWorld to spread the shadows as far as possible, so if Onaga did manage to leave, he could track him. A large male with a smaller female showed up, the male chucking his partner to an opening on the other side. Queno and Quona then primed their hands and stood in similar stances, ready to charge in. The next female out brought metal upon her body, it flew out and formed platforms in a dome fashion. She passed through one and appeared upside-down, standing on the platform as if it was the natural ground. Some of the left over metal formed two blades in Myra’s hands. The next out wore a dark grey homemade Lin Kuei outfit, going into dragon style as she primed her wrist cuffs on to fight. Just cracked her neck and got slightly lower in her stance to ground herself. Next a half man half lion appeared holding a double ended axe. Rorik roared and snarled as he spun his blades and got into a fierce stance. Next, a male in red armor and a female in a blue dress strode through, the male making fires that didn’t disrupt Dahk’s darkness to further encircle the creature and the female filling in the cracks of the metal plates with ice. Fung and Shuei stanced up and got ready to go. Another to show out was a large bull, snorting and mooing loudly. Deft stamped his hooves and prepared to charge. The next to show had an armor that protected him from magic. Trest drew his blades and got into the dragon style stance. The next two to show were dressed in what could only be described as samurai armor, minus the helmet. Li and Lin stood in respective stances for Iado and Tai Chi. The supposed final to arrive was a girl wearing only wraps for a top and bore a staff covered in light magic. Despara swung her staff and pointed it at Terror, covering him with a shield as she yelled, “You can attack out, Onaga can’t get in. Five.” She stood in a ready stance. It had seemed that the call had reached out further than expected, Der rolling through and pulling out his blade and his gun, staring at Onaga and understanding who that once was as a tear rolled down his cheek. Next from EarthRealm came Tamereth and she lit herself up with blue fire, nodding her head to Deverik in respect before taking dragon stance. Termak came from Edenia to the call and was mostly nude, holding lights in her hands. Then Domme and Sepht showed up. Domme got into snake stance as Sepht in her nude glory exciting herself to raise her speed and got ready to attack. All but Tenebrae showed and were ready to attack.

Plague was about to speak on the matter but War covered it first. Plague fiddled with its ring one more time then took it off and placed it on the table. Plague skittered to get out of there before getting locked in and chose to ask War, “What is this about? Were we not all promised to fight as our own?” Plague looked down and said, “They’re expecting more than one body, aren’t they?” It looked back in as it was sealed and sighed. Plague was divided between throwing their sister to the wolves and wanting to help. This wasn’t right.

[Silver]

Stood there staring at the two in shock and awe he didn’t know what to do the demon hounds where coming at him but he had lost sight of the jester. He took to running at the Hounds and just as he stepped into the center a Gauntletted hand shot up lifting the creature into the air a sick smile on the Jesters mas as she held some air time drawing all but the Scythes and robe into her Gauntlet and smiled landing and she looked to him and bowed then slipped her Gauntlet off and opened walked over to a small puddle as the portal opened and she dropped it into the surface and then turned looking towards him and bowed. She then turned and started to walk away there where now an even number of specters and her job was complete. She was now free of the specters control. A whisper danced on the wind as she walked away letting her captor know what was going on. “I am free now my service complete you will not need to find me again.” The voice was like honey and added a hint of desire to it.

HIs eyes cleared and the sight he saw didn’t frighten him the ones with magic didn’t even bother him and he whispered a simple word. “Arise” and the ground shook as if Trimmer had shown his face as his army started to wake a bright green energy danced in his eyes and crackled across the ground leaving a spider web look around his feet and he looked towards the man that started to speak to him calling him little he showed no fear the heat and cold didn’t seem to bother him as they where balancing each other out. Many had tried to stop him and all had failed. His wings spread wide as he watched him the trail behind him almost made him laugh. “You think fire and Ice Frighten me.” He laughed it echoed in the dome they had created around him. A massive jolt of Onaga seemed to be everywhere at once then started to disappear his body shifted and his eyes twitched. He stumbled back a second or two then took and started to walk forward again it was apparent there was an argument going on with in this creature. Onaga was holding his ground though.”Bow before the true Ruler of Outworld.” He issued a Command to them all. He stopped Looking past Terror and seeing the broken Kamidogo narrowing his eyes he stopped taking a step back and realized they where not present and just smiled. “You think you can win you think you have the strength to stand against a god?” he asked he then staggered his eyes shifting and stitching formed on his mouth only to break as his body was fighting. “All of you will fall before the Might of Onaga.” He then gathered green flames in his hand and threw them up at the metal plates at the ones it hit where lit aflame the others started to glow and drip down on them. He watched them waiting seeing the hot metal falling he started to step around to avoid the drips from the ceiling over then knowing soon it would be gone. He knew he was weak but would not show that he would stand his ground and stand and win. He was actually hoping he could bluff them and make them all bow before him. His army started to stand and come crawling out of the ground as fists came up out of the ground into the gathering of people before him. They seemed mildly mindless at this point as if getting their barrings again. “Who is the Ruler of these lands? If it is a fight you want then the ruler will be who I kill and then You will all bow.”

Conquest looked to her brothers as they took to an assumption that she did not want them to go with her. She wanted to do this as a family. She just wanted them their to gift her what they could during her fights. She couldn’t stand a 4v1 well not in these standards an she knew it she looked to the rings on the table including her own and shook her head leaving it there. “If we are not to do this as a family then I will do this with out power and do it as I stand now.” she spoke to herself and walked to the doors and went to pull them open and felt the sealed and sighed and turned walking away. She sighed and then turned and ran and the door and slammed her fist to it in full force blood bursting forth from her knuckles as she hit the wall a slight red tent to her eyes it then faded. “None of you understand me… You think I just want this lot I just am complacent I want to fix what I have done but we are a family you dont turn your back on them no matter the reason I have never turned my back on any of you. I will take none of the rings and will fight in whatever state I am in when the time comes.” she looked to the blood on the door then to her knuckles. She knew she could heal it but she wasn’t about to. she then walked further and back to the table and grabbed a chair and lifted it tossing it at the door smashing war’s chair first against it. She then Grabbed Deaths and tossed it but it didn’t shatter it just hit the door and feel onto the pieces of wars she panted and breathed then just shoved plagues over and hers she pushed down as well all that was left was the table with the rings. She was panting and dropped to her knees. “If I have to do this alone then alone I will do it but I will not take our rings I will show the strength of our people I do not need a ring to show I am Nephilhem.” Tears than pricked her eyes feeling abandoned by those she loved her family.

[Cain]

-Malstaine called back his hounds shifting into his earth form” behave for next time I come hunting for you, it wont be the conversion”. A spark of white lightning would appear and he was gone back to earth realm and then back to htrae where he filled out a bunch of files before picking up the soul of the reaper and taking it for conversion.

Terror smirked once the beast was close enough to him, this thing didn’t except terror as a threat so he decided to show him why he was a threat” oh Lord Onaga, cut the bullshit I know you need the Komidgo I know you need a more solid vessel and I know your not the true King of Outworld asshole”. His right arm was now covered in the white fire but the black ice seemed to vanish but if Onaga felt very carefully he would realize the black ice was behind himself”burn bitch”. They both focused there ability, Chaos would know this ability but Onaga would not they both shot a ball of the mind freeze ability but one was ice the other fire. They had both gotten close to Onaga as he had not thought them a threat if this makes contact with one of them in Onaga mind the twins would cut off his wings and sew shut his eyes and mouth before spearing him with chains to bind him to the precious Outworld. If both orbs hit they would use there fire and ice to create a solid statue out of Onaga by super heating him then super cooling him till he was unmovable. They both jumped back and fused after the orbs flew just in case and seeing the ground begin to crack he used the black ice to cover the ground to hold shut the cracking not that it would last long but long enough. He wasn’t worried about the five hits as he wasn’t planning to take a single one from this weak Gecko,

War finally calmed down to a warm simmer before he stood up and walked back to the council room to find it torn apart and he smiled” Sister your starting to act like me, Did you know this seal is not to prevent Horsemen from leaving the council but there enemies from entering there Lairs”. He demonstrated by walking through it asd walking over to the table where he found the box with her ring and began placing each of them in the box in there rightful place before placing his hand on the box and it sealed over with chains of hate something Conquest would never be able to break. He then went back to his room and set the box down before returning back to Conquest “you are conflicted this is why the seal does not see you as a Horsemen, we must be sure about where we stand at all times, Something I learned long ago by the first Death”. He would look to see if there was a sign of shock in her eyes before he continued” I am not sure if im the first War but I have been around the longest of the War’s, No horsemen before me knew how to walk from these halls and the surface without bearing the ring and still have there power”. He walked before his sister seemingly harmless but the red runes on his arm glowed and he took on his Horsemen state without the ring on in the council hall”sister for you to restore our faith in you, not only will you need to become a horsemen again but I banish you to earth till you prove yourself worthy without your power”. He held out his hand and the runes that cover every Horsemen would vanish from her body before she found herself in D.C. she was still Immortal in the since she couldn’t die of old age but she was now taint able by the devil if he were to realize who was on earth. War slide down the wall and beat his head on it which brought Death to War. Death spoke in her ancient wise ways” She was being twisted by the council and did not no of such, they were stripping away her powers and were going to use her as a way to harm us, banishing her and making her prove herself worthy once again will restore her valor in our fight against bondage “we shall find someone to replace her if she does not reclaim her title if she does not reclaim it one year from today”. War sighed as he heard her horse crying and could hear her ring hissing with distaste for what he had done but it could not be helped. He returned to his room and threw himself into his bed before he vanished standing on a rooftop looking down on her, she was no more then a human now so even if she wished to remember her life prior to this moment it would be locked away, she would never know him other then as Daemon if she does not prove herself honorable to DEATH.-

[Lord English]

Tenebrae woke the next day and let out a sigh, eating her share then getting right back into training. Today was going to be different in the training, only Sub-Zero standing before her as he said, “You are going to learn how to incorporate your natural abilities in with what I have been teaching you.” He walked up to her and placed his hand on her chest and said, “Every being living and dead have souls. You knew this and even took advantage of it. You can manipulate others souls and with that you can also manipulate your own.” He removed his hand then said, “When you learned how to use Smoke’s teleport abilities, that was a key to opening up how to teleport on your own.”

“There’s no way I can teleport,” Tenebrae spoke to him with a half chuckling tone, “I’m half my father and I have a feeling he couldn’t do it.”

“You’re more than just half your father,” Sub-Zero instructed without batting an eye, “You are half with Shang Tsung, he can teleport. Half of your father is Shinnok, he can teleport. Your uncle, Raiden, could teleport. So why can’t you?” Right as she opened her mouth to speak, Sub-Zero spoke over her, “Because you have never tried.” He patted her chest right above her bosoms and said, “Instead of feeling souls outwardly, I want you to focus inward. Then I want you to will your soul to appear behind me.”

“I can’t do that,” Tenebrae said, “That sounds completely impossible.” She closed her eyes and tried anyway. She could feel her soul but couldn’t get it to move as he asked. She sighed and said, “There’s no way.”

Sub-Zero glanced her over and spoke seriously but with regret, “I may have to find someone to show you then.” He could only think of one who could help to show her in the NetherRealm, though he knew it was not a friend. It would be a risk to bring him there so he waved for her to follow him.

Tenebrae walked alongside him and said, “Where are we going?” She didn’t receive an answer and decided to push it, “Who are you taking me to?”

“An enemy,” Sub-Zero answered sternly.

Tenebrae stopped walking a moment then caught up as she said, “An enemy? Why an enemy? Doesn’t that mean whoever they are will kill me just because I am with you?”

“Possibly,” Sub-Zero spoke with an unfaltering voice, “But we have someone following who won’t let him.”

Tenebrae peeked back and saw exactly who she wanted to see catching up. Kabal, Shang Tsung, and Sheeva had all decided to follow and were catching up fast but staying behind enough to not be considered a threat. Tenebrae looked back forward and said, “Let’s do this then.”

They walked up to a center that appeared to be specially built, almost like the prison but much smaller in comparison. They walked up to the guardian of the prison and Sub-Zero stepped to be in front. “We need to see him,” He gestured to Tenebrae and said, “He is the only one who can teach her for whatever Noob Saibot is planning.” The guardian gave a huff, opening the door and moving to the side.

Tenebrae moved to enter and felt her neck burning with dread and an urgency. She stopped the door from closing and said, “Sub-Zero, would you help me I need to go.”

“Go where?” He asked her, noticing her resisting touching the mark on her neck. “Oh, then you must take us all.”

“I won’t,” she spoke, “so I will go alone.” She let the door slam shut and placed her hand on her neck, getting ripped to the battle. She took a deep breath and saw all of them present. She heard Onaga’s claim and chuckled, more so when he asked who ruled. She saw Deverik about to step up, utterance about to leave his mouth but she yelled out, “Only the true children of Khan are the rulers here. Deserters not included!” She heard the words of Terror and laughed in joy, she was excited. She was on the opposite side of Onaga from Venir so she decided to lock onto Onaga’s soul. She focused herself and used her hand to tug on the soul in her direction, making sure that if others nabbed it, she’d only match their force to keep it still.

 

Venir has seen Deverik about to step up, this meant something. Then the mention of the Kamidogu, it should have been so obvious that he’d been asking the wrong questions. Now he knew what to ask. He then focused and saw what Tenebrae was doing, watching the soul be tugged backwards. He canceled his skulls and planted himself firmly to the ground and focused on the soul. He tugged back if the soul could be nabbed by them both to aide the hit. He did notice something with Tenebrae though, four souls forming next to hers. He would ignore it for now and work on what he needed to to finish this.

 

Zerek smirked as words were crossed and raised his one blade exclaiming, “the guardians of the other realms and we Khan bow to no one!” He made sure to get right back into a fighting stance. He was going to attack if Onaga tried to run or if the army invaded in.

 

Regir smiled beneath his robes and his blade fell to grains, each tiny blade falling to the earth and rushing to Onaga. They would encircle and create a swirling storm of sharp sand, the few drops of metal that landed on them only making them more deadly. He assured holes were left for Terror and Dread to get their attack through without disrupting the storm. Once they’d pass through he’d make the storm into a solid wall of sand, hoping a fire sibling would lock it up and leaving only a tiny hole for them to assure what happened inside.

 

Deverik was about to stake claim, but Tenebrae showed up. This was the very first time he’d seen her. The words of his children and of his siblings made him have an overwhelming sense of pride. Even though attacks were being thrown and distance was required, he wanted to run in and purify the soul. Before he could stop himself, he was halfway there and the swirling sand stopped him. He then added ice shards to the grains, each bit of the ice coated in some of his purification sorcery. If any would hit a tainted being, it would now burn a bit but not fully purify. He had his two masters where one threw bindings at Onaga to pin him while the other shot ice.

 

Vendict smirked at how well the gathering was, working like an invincible army. Through the cracks of the ice, he could see movement. He decided to tap his emblem, grabbing his faction then teleporting them outside of the dome to begin to slice and slaughter the risen army. Vendict held his four swords firm and sliced at anything that moved and wasn’t a part of his army or any other siblings or factions that would help him.

 

Kaos could smell the army outside, her roar ringing out as a battle cry as she swiped her paw to her mark, chasing and gnawing at anything that was not belonging to siblings or her siblings. She would use her flames to make it so Dahk couldn’t register her, a blind spot for her to run and kill in.

 

Weren was going to spread his tranquility to sooth and possibly slow Onaga but he witnessed a sibling in trouble. Dahk was struggling, and bad. He ran to him and placed his hand on the back of Dahk’s head and carefully laced his tranquility through Dahk’s mind and body, attempting to use what he would usually use to kill to aide his failing brother. He had to with hold most of his power to not calm him too far.

 

Teror growled and as some of the others went outside as she roared in agreeable to words being said. She stayed in the main area in order to help attack if Onaga escaped.

 

Kael howled with excitement as the grouping heated up. He smelled the action outside and pawed his mark to join the slaughter out of the ice and metal dome. He ran and made sure that he attacked only things not of his siblings and not his siblings them selves, anything else that moved would feel his fangs.

 

Dahk began to feel things moving, his power spreading out as it fed off the darkness. Soon, all of OutWorld was covered in his darkness and he could feel the movements increase. Despite his very limits being pushed, he pushed them further. He raised the darkness he had encircled around Onaga to attempt to trap his feet there. He felt warmth moving down his face from his nose and then peace. His brother’s hand allowed him to focus and move his shadows faster. He knew this was pulling at him and his body was feeding off himself to aide his power. He felt fine but he was spilling his own blood to make things so.

 

Queno made no sound, staying ready to attack. He wanted to be sure there was still no way out.

 

Quona wanted to go out but seeing Queno stay, she stayed and waited.

 

Myra melded through her metal to another plate but pulled the melting plate back together with more metal, melding back through when the circle stopped dripping and send shards towards Onaga.

 

Just aimed her wrists at the center and shot frozen shards towards Onaga. She made sure it was relentless and ran around the circle, making sure to go from all angles but without hitting a single ally.

 

Rorik growled and teleported outside as some of the others did. He spun his dual axe and ran into battle. He did as the others, attacking what moved that did not belong to a sibling or wasn’t a sibling themselves.

 

Fung waited and saw that Regir was setting up something fantastic. He watched the sand swirl and stood ready, waiting until it was solid. He shot flames at the sand and made it glass around Onaga.

 

Shuei saw that Fung was going to wait inside, her teleporting out at the commotion. She began to freeze anything that moved that wasn’t a sibling or their army.

 

Deft remained in, filled with a slight sense of pride. He decided to stay in case Onaga tried to run.

 

Trest also decided to stay, waiting and wanting Onaga to run. He wanted action.

 

Li teleported out to help the siblings outside of the shield.

 

Lin followed Li in suit to join in the outside action.

 

Despara spun her staff and put shields around every sibling and being she could. She even gave a shield to Noob and Smoke. She only shielded the ones in the dome. Her hope was high.

 

Der had almost bowed but the fact the others did not and instead attacked, he muttered under his breath, “I am so sorry…” He shot at Onaga with the bullets in his arm and would not watch. He chose not to.

 

Tamereth saw tngs were being handled but used her blue flames to help with the sand and attacking at Onaga. She fired them and helped make the glass when it was time to seal it.

 

Termak screamed out an excited yell. She focused her energy to her chest and shot her light from her chest. She aimed it right at Onaga, focusing so it wouldn’t go past him and just through him if it hit.

 

Domme smirked and teleported outside. She got into snake stance and began to jab at the enemies, her nails sharp and ready.

 

Sepht left and went with Domme, protecting her back from oncoming enemies. She was mimicking what her sister was doing but was punching instead of stabbing her nails into them.

 

——————————–

 

Plague realized that War wasn’t going to talk to it and knew what was being done was what was needed. Plague walked back to its room and let what was being done alone. It was frustrated but more saddened. It decided to let its insects out and although it wanted to wear it’s dress, it didn’t. Things were going to be different now, it feared.

 

Somewhere in the world, black wings were silently hunting as they folded into the current human form. The male with black hair striding through the crowd unnoticed as he emerged from a dark alley in the city. Oblivious to the now lost horseman, he tread through the sheep like a wolf on the prowl. Looking into the humans around him, he was seeking something difficult to taint, something pure and stubborn to damn. His eyes locked onto a homeless man, a smirk stretching across his face. He was pure and kind. He made sure he wasn’t seen as he destroyed his own clothing to rags and dirtied himself. His form forced a beard and he took to an alley to take the man by surprise. He wobbled and sat next to him as he started, “seen any good today?”

The target looked over, the eyes of the other man hidden. “Just life.” The man replied. “So much evil and hate… Greed… That’s why I gave it up.” Lucifer looked up and into the man’s eyes, nearly giving himself away. “There is evil in you.”

Lucifer tried not to smile, “just life.” He turned to the man and placed his hand on his, letting things seep into him but the body rejecting. He said, “you look starved.” He took a hand into his pocket and took out what looked like a dollar. He forced it into the man’s hand and said, “go get yourself something.”

The man thanked him and Lucifer waited, watching the man as his form crunch. He changed into a different male, still black hair but holding the form. His clothing changed as he watched the male run into a store. The taint hadn’t worked as even though extra money appeared, he only got enough for himself and some others then gave the rest away. Lucifer sighed and took to the allies again, “I am so rusty…”

Onaga stood there watching it and went to launch into the air but was stopped as gravity forced him onto the ground. All attacks coming at him shifted to come from the sky save for any straight on attacks which just turned upside down. All of Chaos’s students heard his voice ring out in their heads. “My students you have done well and defeated your master you have surpassed me and my strength this is my gift to you use it well and survive to protect your given realms.” Soon Der heard Chaos speak to him. “Mlaersoahc fo pihsnaidraug eht evael I uoy ot” Noob was the last to hear his voice. “Master I am sorry to have failed you do not let my failures fall on my students they do not carry the taint of my mistake make sure they are ready for the trials ahead of them though I feel they are prepared.” As soon as they all heard the last words Chaos would ever speak a cloud of dust and ice and fire filled the area around Onaga and a green mist burned in it only to be consumed and destroyed. As the smoke cleared all that was left was a pile of dragones flesh charred and damaged this was all that remained of Chaos/Onaga.

When War walked in she looked so disheveled her hair was a toss her face marked with dirt. Where she had found it only death would know her hands bloody her eyes bright with a rage he only know all too well one he hadn’t seen in her since they killed their kin. As he spoke she just grinned brighter then she blinked and looked around with a confused look she couldn’t even remember her name. “Humm how did I get here?” she asked and walked around a newspaper had her face on it and left her name below it talking about how she owned a up and coming law firm that had a history for never loosing. She blinked at the address and nodded. “Well I guess this is a good place to start maybe they know something about me. I mean I do own this company right?” The name was Law the conquest of life. Confused by this she shrugged and started to walk down the street and stopped a cop. “Um sir? Could you point me in the direction to this address?” The cop looked at her then laughed. “You don’t even know where your own law firm is?” He pointed down the street almost amused by it.
