[Lord English]

Tenebrae heard the words of the lizard as suddenly the lizard was upside-down and she was slammed sideways onto the air. It seemed there was a platform in the gravity and she was a bit freaked out by it. She pushed herself to stand up as he rubbed her arms, which noticeably were freezing over again. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists, a mess in her souls as she needed to quell them. She stood firm and waited, hoping to be more prepared on the next shift.

Rai continued running towards the hurricane of light and her generator turned on. Her mind was lost to obsession under the pretenses of attempting godhood. She saw the gathering group of gaggling dangers, none of them quite a stranger, as her lightening took forth due to the ground’s own polarities as it struck out around her and made her an obvious enemy. She growled and seemed almost lost in a feral state as the madness sunk her deeper and deeper into a cesspool of her want. She made sure that her hand flared out in her leaned forward sprint to make the static charge send bolts out towards the possible targets. Each strike happened in seconds as the magic spread the line forward in moments. She did not stop there but made the generator spin faster, discharge on the staff reaching much more critical levels.

Sepht decided to just walk, attempting to avoid the area she had seen lit up. She made sure to travel a bit south of where she was, heading east in the process. She wound up seeing a shrouded area and decided, “Nope…” and proceeded to travel due east and away from such mess.

Dahk saw the darkness, he knew this kind of magic well. He whispered under his breath, “shit…” He would need to step up his game and leave his brother in the dust, ducking under the incoming blade that could have easily sliced him in half. He ran back at his brother and pointed his blade out forward, the blade gathering its darkness and shooting out a firm ball. He’d see which way his brother would dodge and would turn that direction to slice diagonally two times to create an X if they both contacted. He also borrowed some of the surrounding darkness to pull it in to try to capture his brother.

Der walked aimlessly in the labyrinth, figuring that it was how he got in that it would be his way out. He sighed as he placed his hand on some of the walls and saw where the wandering had taken him in the labyrinth, the pool of ageing. He gazed at it and shook his head, “Yaw gnikcuf on…” He approached the pool and stared at it, he couldn’t even dare to touch it. He felt its power would be wasted on him, age would give him nothing more to learn than he already didn’t know. So the biggest question in his mind, why did aimless wandering bring him here if he wasn’t supposed to? He gazed back into the labyrinth and then back at the pool, hesitating to even touch it.

Blut heard the words and ignored the darkness, the hell did a little brat know. He pulled his hand back as to attract all of his scattered blades back from where they were, stepping to the side to dodge the all engulfing orb fired from his brother’s sword. He took two steps back, paying attention to the sword and avoiding its slices, not noticing the trap below him and the darkness taking his feet. He became enraged and tried to pull himself from the shadows only to make an audible pop of his ankle pulling out. He used the sucked in blades to fire at his younger brother, hoping to cause damage as the darkness trap crept up his body.

Termak smiled at Judge as the helmet was removed, the knowledge now of Judge being female a settling thing to Termak as her cheeks took for a far rosier turn. She took a deep breath then looked at where Judge looked. As Judge began to move, the hand was uncoiled to her. Termak placed her hand in Judge’s and whispered just for her to hear, “Thank the gods, you’re not a male.” She ran to keep near Judge’s side, preparing to do what was needed.

Sol was close to the area he had left previously, the mansion in sight. There was a few near it and he was able to walk up onto the conversation between his eldest and Terror before he even was able to finish his snacking on the chunky meat sauce of which he still carried. He placed a handful of the mushed meat in his mouth, he only had a little left and it was in his other hand. The juicy blood had stained his skin as more flowed down from his mouth. He was enjoying every little taste and not caring who saw this action. Past them, he saw the angered flashes of an on-coming younger sibling. She appeared to be sprinting up rather fast, possibly going to take them by surprise. He knew at least his elder sibling would notice but the young man, he wasn’t so sure about. He wasn’t going to make a ruckus of it, wasn’t his problem.

Domme continued due north and hopped platforms, just heading up. She eventually found some walls and an opening winding into it, curiosity getting the best of her. She tilted her head and looked around, seeing no others in the area. “Hello?” She whispered out, unsure of if she should do this or even if she should be there. She began to walk into the walls and following their winding paths, trying to keep to the right. Whispers echoed out of her mouth through the maze, “Hello? Anyone there?” She wound up in a dead end, just continuing along the right wall, hoping she’d be able to either find the exit or the entrance, not sure how to really go about this but to keep right. Perhaps eventually this chaotic maze would make sense.

Venir turned to watch the young nephew, smirking as he saw the two separate. It was a curious thing to him as to why they would have to be in that state. Could they not fight alone? He heard the brother’s words and attempted to not snicker, it was a hard thing to do as he’d have to force the behavior anyway. Then the iced words of the other, the flow off the tongue, he was going to enjoy this. Then they combined and he was approached with what he took as a demand, a demand that he could not answer directly. It would only take seconds for him to concoct an answer, weaving his web. “You see,” Venir spoke as if about to tell a story, beginning to pace back and forth as his fingers waved as he spoke, “To tell you what I want is to tell you what my siblings don’t want…” His mouth began to twitch as if to smile as he spoke. “Some of them want to overtake realms for their own selfish needs… Some of them want to destroy and kill… I agree with most of the thing my youngest sibling has in mind…” He stopped pacing in his slow waltz back and forth. “I believe you know her… She seemed to have gotten here before the rest of us… Pity that she doesn’t want to rule like the rest of us…” He cackled a bit that sounded more like a woman who’d had too much PMS chocolate. “I wish to have the crown of Outworld, I want Outworld to remain OutWorld… Then the places where she and I differ are little… Where she does not want the crown… She doesn’t wish to rule… She wants… What I don’t.” He got lost in thought and had a twitchy smirk, so he ceased his attempt to smile and left a neutral expression. He turned his head back to Terror and said, “What matters is that we do not seek destruction of other realms… Just the siblings that wish to cause it…” He looked down at his own fingers, his skin was beginning to pale a bit. “Hmn… This is not a great predicament…” He turned his head as he saw one of the younger siblings approaching. Was he eating a corpse’s mushed remains? Venir’s nose wriggled as he sniffed and he definitely smelled blood, going a little pale and turning his head away from the sight and spoke, “That’s disgusting…” Venir’s thought was interrupted by the sound of static and seeing of a mass of electricity heading towards them, he knew this was Rai. He stepped back a bit as he avoided some of the electricity being flung and said, “Pick your poison and I will take the other…”

[Lord English]

Tenebrae watched the lizard strut but did not answer his first question as she thought on it. Her mind was wandering on the issue of what was asked and the follow up. She didn’t mind the beast circling as she took in all that it would mean and pressed her thumb onto the scab on her hand and took a deep breath. She heard the next words and said, “I fight to survive. If I survive, I can fix Outworld. If I die, then one of my siblings will destroy what there is left to destroy. Either way, I have an oath to keep and will come out dead no matter what the outcome.” She threw her arms out to her sides with her palms up, shoulders shrugged. “So nothing really matters. I get to see what I want to see either way.” She smiled a bit and said, “So if you want to come at me, do it.” She giggled a little bit, a tad too happy about her predicament.

Rai didn’t have it in her mind to step back, the splintered bits cut at her as the thing died and she reeled back. She held onto the wounds and growled, this was not good enough. She slammed herself down and was about to stick her staff into herself until she saw the pillar of light. She snarled at it and took off in a sprint towards it. She had to prove herself or die trying.

Sepht took deep breaths as she allowed her body to relax, the tension leaving as she pulled her hand out of her armor. She closed her eyes and let her body take in what energy was lost as she cuddled the ground. Her breathing eventually became even, slowing to a decent pace as she eventually regained energy. She used her elbows to push herself up onto her aching rump as she used a forward momentum onto her feet. She held herself sturdy and cracked her neck, “Mmmm I want his ass…” She was sweating a little bit, wobbling as she stepped to move on to find a target. She saw the bright light from the center and said, “Not that way…”

Dahk pulled up his dark blade and blocked the flurry of attacks coming at him and continued to step back towards the tree an infidel seemed to have appeared in. He saw the blades force out of his brother’s body as he heard the words from the boy’s mouth above him. He blocked the oncoming onslaught of blades in multiples and found his shoulder pinned by one into the tree. He looked up at the boy as he pulled his brother’s blade from his cloth. Blood flowed down his shoulder as he said, “If you could please go away, we’re in the middle of kombat.” He turned his attention back to his sibling and thought a moment, “Or why don’t you just kill him, I would be more than fine with that arrangement.” He took a step forward and swung the dark blade at his brother and tried to use the swing to get around him to get out into open area, away from the brat in the tree. He had seen the pillar but ignored it, just wanting away from this fight.

Der continued walking on his hands, beginning to dash in random directions. He flipped off his hands and onto his feet several times to land on whichever felt most like running in the awkward pattern. Eventually, he smacked face first into the wall of the labyrinth. He opened his eyes and looked at it and shook his head. “Oh hell no…” He looked around to find he was already part way through it, there was no turning back for him now. He saw the pillar in the air and knew at least there was someone out there somewhere, but it wouldn’t help him out, he’d have to continue forward.

Blut looked up at the kid in the tree and said, “Family only kid…” He stepped to the side of the swinging blade and said, “Your swordsmanship sucks…” He looked back to the little boy in the tree and said, “Fuck off and if you want to fight someone, take my brother’s ass.” He rolled his palm out to his bother without looking and shot blades out at him. He then said, “On second thought, make an entire porno with him, a gore porno… Take out his insides…” He saw the light and ignored it, trying to not make his persuasion obvious.

Termak smiled at Judge, feeling that she could live with these terms. “I will give my life if it takes to kill Night,” She stood firm then took a deep breath and said, “I would prefer not to rule Outworld alone.” She hoped it had not come across as a flirt but it might have come across that way. She blushed a little bit, only perhaps making it worse. She saw the distant light and used the pillar as a subject change, “What’s that?”

Sol stood from the pile, regaining himself shortly. He slicked his hair behind his face, a smirk dawning his consciousness. He lost it as he began to walk slowly off from his reward but he had to turn back. He leaned down and picked up a handful of the mushed corpse and proceeded to place it into his mouth. He swallowed it bit by bit and decided to take several scoops of it in his arms to carry with him as he walked, the juicy blood running from his mouth each time he ate a handful. He saw the pillar of light and shrugged, walking towards it since it was close.

Domme sat awake as the pillar went off, she had wondered what happened and why she was sweating. She couldn’t even remember the thoughts that had swirled in her mind before this occurrence. She took a deep breath and laid back to relax. She looked back up at the sky and shook her head, “The fuck was I doing….” She couldn’t wrap her head around where she was or what was going on anymore. Her mind began to swirl as her thoughts began to consume her, wanting to find an excuse to fuck someone in the ass with her whip. She gripped her head and giggled a little bit, writhing on the ground like a fish out of water. She flipped over onto the edge of her platform and got up, pushing off to leap onto the nearby land and pulled up onto it. She then took off North.

Sembren shrieked inside of her dome, the heat rising as her shield would thaw and refreeze, the shadow of him outside of her most comforting place. She had tears going down her eyes screaming, “NO! I AM GOING TO WIN! I AM GOING TO FUCKING WIN!” She saw as he reached in and felt his warming grasp, her body trembling as she had nowhere to go, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. She’d never gotten that pony she’d wanted, well, the ride on one. Her shrieks silenced as he held her and felt his own tears drop into hers. It was over in a single snap, words echoing in the soul of a lost little girl parading as the third eldest in the Khan Clan. She wouldn’t need to feel the heat melting her very flesh from bone, then bone to dust as he finished it all. The soul was lost, stolen before it could ever find its way to the Nether for which it should have belonged.

Venir’s eyes grew widened with excitement. Proclamations of lineage were an excitement to him and the mere thoughts of threats to his elder status amongst his kin. He watched as the flames would consume his sibling after the snapping of her bones, the bright soul peering out as it was attracted to his hand. Fingers waved it an appealing rotation as it licked into his palm, curling his digits closed to consume the iced soul that once was his sister’s. He was then glared at by the boy, the young Khan. He could only chuckle as he was known, surprising as he thought his brother had burned all those bridges. The boy returned and burned a mask over the ashes of her remains, the rage still burning and only exciting Venir. The boy then came to him and asked for her name, not before snapping at a young snake hiding in the grass, his brother it seemed. Venir gazed to the angered eyes of the young one and said, “Her name was Sembren, her titles are many. If you wish for them I may tell you.” He did not want to poke the already angered nephew, but added this, “If you have any questions of lineage, I will tell you what you wish to know.”

[Lord English]

Tenebrae heard the voice incoming and took a deepened breath. Her head didn’t turn to the sounds of the landing being until she knew it was of better time. She spoke in a low even voice as she stood straight up, her fingertips cooling back to the ice that was thawing in her body, “I am doing just fine… For now…” She was cautious and was prepared to take this magnificent creature on if need be. She then spoke again, “You aren’t going to kill me now, are you?” She reached her hand up, wrapping her fingers around the mask that had been pressed to her face for far too long as thoughts of home went through her head. She carefully threw it aside as the strap broke from her face, Shao Kahn’s helmet fragment in the sand now as scars on her face were revealed. She blinked as she stared at the creature, a slash across her cheek and another out on her temple, both appeared to have been made by blades. She continued her previous statement as she said, “I am ready if you are going to regardless of my mission… If not, then why am I so important for you to visit?” She placed her hands onto her hips, clear her inner angst was trying so hard to come out. Her thumb on her right hand ran over the scabbing from the blood oath with Noob, all she had to do was live and her precious OutWorld could be restored.

Rai could almost feel the bat as it was summoned but Ferel was moving quicker. She also noticed this bat was bigger than the last one. She had no time to prepare a jump, so she quickly took several large steps back as her legs took to a reverse peddling motion. Her cape had been caught in the fray and as he tumbled, she too would take to the ground but to her side to avoid the large bat that would have surely knocked her unconscious. Then the bat disappeared and a large wooden sword took hold. She reeled back and placed her left arm up to block herself from the splintery blade. A small cut was made and Rai’s eyes turned fierce to her brother. She focused now only on him as her magics went haywire. Lightening would strike around and at her area of focus as she screamed at her brother, “GODS DON’T BLEED!” The ground was charring around her and the strikes were making it difficult to know where to go or what to do as typically it would strike far, then close then far or in the middle at spontaneous points. The words of the guardian fell on deaf ears.

Sepht gently graced her fingers on the seething wound, the sting causing light moans as she messed with the peeling black flesh. Her other hand gently rotated to allow fingers beneath her armor to the growing wetness that formed to flow down her leg and to the ground. She flopped her head back, her body falling to the side as she caused a more intense pain from the anal wounding. Her moans only increased as she removed her hand from the wound, her body flopping on the ground as she enjoyed the sheer pain being caused. She breathed heavily and within moments, screamed out, “OH GODS YES! I WANT HIM! I WANT HIM!” She then began to slowly relax. She had missed what the guardian had said in her moment of sheer ecstasy.

Leif couldn’t move or block fast enough as the blade came down upon her, feeling sudden pain as the blade split into her skull. The pain ceased as all the middle nerves began to be split by the metal, blood sputtering out of the cranial cavity with the blade continuing down. Her jaw was knocked off, ripped right away from the blade and from her face as it was brought down, the metal stuck between the teeth. It continued down, ripping between her lungs and the heart, blood sputtering from her veins. It continued down as her stomach contents were revealed and then the contents of her intestines. The body began to fall in half with the innards pulling from their capillaries as they impact sent them out. The other half of her body rested on the shield as the innards slid out slowly. As the blade hit the ground, the trapped jaw broke teeth.

Dahk turned as he was slashed at, stepping back a couple times as he carefully uncoiled his fingers. His hand rose up as shadows began to pull in swirls around his attacking brother, misting around him if he did not move. He would then close his fingers to cause the shadows to begin constraining him, making sure it would slowly crush if his brother was unable to escape. He heard the words of the guardian but would pay no heed.

Der sat himself onto the ground as his mind ran through the process he had chosen multiple times, sitting with his back straight. He heard the one he wished to fight for, a smirk on his face for a moment before relaxing back. He felt the wind lap at him as his hair flowed across his face, licking at him as his eye closed and the other shut off its blue hue. He enjoyed the momentary peace as he let his mind slowly sink into the blackness, releasing what little he had of his sanity as he made his goal into an obsession. Suddenly, he sprung up from his legs and landed with a tilt onto his hands. The momentum allowed him to go up onto his hands as he began to run on them across the ground, seemingly faster than by foot. He began to let his body take him where he dared, them running due west.

Blut saw the incoming shadows and propelled himself over away from the newly forming pillar, his ears deaf to the words of the guardian of the realm. He smirked as he came back to his feet once more and his voice growled out, “Such a stupid move, brother…” He became enraged, raising his ability to cause damage but his mind slipping into nothing. He ran at his brother as he sliced back and forth at him, left then right and then again to both. If those didn’t hit, his blades would let his blades form in his body and fire out repetitively in all directions, wanting to kill his brother at all costs in a sheer blood rage.

Ferel heard his sister’s words as he rolled out of the way. “Shit…” He was glad he missed the first strike towards him, one strike firing next to his hand but not hitting him. He forced his bad leg as a peg, it collapsing as he pushed forward into a roll towards her. Mid-roll, one struck him right in the spine. He flopped to a dead halt as his nerves twitched, he attempted to push himself up but to no avail. A strike happened next to his head, sparing him as he tried to continue to push up. He managed to get his body to cooperate enough to summon a bat again, trying to swing it at her. He managed to swing it and another strike just barely missed him but as he followed through, a strike hit him in the head and his nerves turned off. The swing followed through by momentum as it shattered and disappeared.

Termak waited simply for his answer, not paying attention to the voice.

Sol reveled in the blood as it splattered all over the place, words reaching his ears but his mind paying no heed. He felt the warmth of his sister and his lips parted to show his teeth, a slight chuckle ringing out. His shoulders began to shake as he lifted his sword up to his shoulder, the blood running down onto his armor as he took no heed to the missing eye of his. He chuckled more loudly as he dropped his sword to the side and knelt down to the body, grabbing the on the fallen half of the body and pulling it off. He began to laugh as he crushed it in his hand, blood spattering onto him as he began reaching into his sister’s body and crushing everything in his hands. His laugh grew creepy as he rubbed the squished parts onto his face and neck. He picked his sword back up and stabbed his sister’s cadaver repeatedly as it began to mush up, the laugh only increasing. When the mush settled and he placed the sword down, the laughing stopped. He leaned down on his hands and knees, taking a deep whiff of his former sister, licking the mush as a member of his pressed against his metallic shell.

Domme was still thinking, her posture relaxed even with words echoing from afar as she allowed her eyes to close. She let her mind wander in itself and soon enough, her breathing was even and shallow. Images swirled in her mind as she let them dance, pain and suffering of others under her command throwing her into her typically thoughts. They were interrupted by a looming shadow with a great figure, her scooped up by the shadow and clothes suddenly missing. She twitched in her sleep as the images showed the shadow taking her hard in this dream gone nightmare.

Sembren managed to pull back before her lick would suddenly become a kiss with a firm pulling of her muscles. She back pedaled then stood firm away from him, her hearing words from the mansion. She didn’t bother listening as she made herself freezing cold as she shot out three rounds of ice at him, making sure to aim directly at him as she said, “There’s no fucking way…” After the three freezing shots were made, she began to work the dome around her again. She wasn’t taking chances, especially against kin.

Venir heard the guardian and smirked, things were getting more interesting. Then, the ability to see the young man’s hair and the mark, a large smile appeared on Venir’s face. He yelled out loud enough for his voice to carry out, “BROTHERS AND SISTERS! WE HAVE MORE KIN!” He left out the most girlish cackle a man could make, sounding bat shit insane. He then relaxed and watched the battle as he screamed at Terror, “KILL HER, YOUNG ONE!”

[Lord English]

Tenebrae grasped her burning arms as she tried to get a hold of the issue. The fire began to quell, her flesh still scarring from the heat as it receded to her hands. She forced herself to stand back up and practice the knowledge she had gained. She placed her feet wide and sturdy, one foot pointing forward and the other out. She clawed her hands and they rotated in circles, making sure they were never at the same point. She struck outwards with her hands, closing her eyes as she imagined target points. She could see where she should strike, where to block as the soul guiding her showed her what she needed to think and feel. Her hands were charred but not burning very hot anymore as he ran her through the movements of the 16 Hole. She felt great after she had finished, taking a deep breath as her eyes shot open.

Rai took a few steps back as the large object swung through her static shield, unaffected due to its material. Rai then focused her magic on her brother, shooting three times to each place he’d move then regaining her shield around herself. She smirked, knowing it would taunt her brother with how little she moved.

Sepht was still laying on her front, taking deep breaths as she took her hand and gently rubbed the area where her ass had been struck. The sting oddly made her tingle as she let out quiet grunts and moans, her then rolling onto her side with the struck cheek in the air. She continued to rub it as her other hand began to rub something else.

Leif stepped back but her boot got caught by the shield and pinned her to the ground. She pulled arrows in multiple out of her quiver and placed them on the bow. She pulled back the string as far as she could and released the arrows swiftly at point blank for his head, neck, and chest. After releasing those arrows, she pulled out another arrow and fired again for his head if he’d moved. Then she carefully summoned two arrows, firing those for his head and chest.

Dahk continued to walk south, he did not know his brother was watching him and traveled forth.

Der checked out his area and knew exactly where he was. He took the time to sit himself down and rest, thinking his actions through in reverse. He found the end of where he wanted to be and worked what it would take to get there backwards in his mind.

Blut continued to follow his sibling, tracking him to the south and drawing two blades as he held them in each hand. He made sure he got close to his sibling before running up to slice viciously in two slanted slashes from shoulder to hip.

Ferel had to think fast as he unsummoned his weapon by letting go of it and leaping off to the side. The ground charred where he had been standing from the impact of the lightening. He landed only to need to leap off to the side again. He felt the heat off the electricity as his hair stood on end. He saw the third strike and tried to move but the static shot into his knee, the nerves getting a shock down through his leg as they shut off from the static. He pulled his energy into his hand as he landed as a gigantic wooden baseball bat formed in his hand and swung it at the shield first from right to left, then pulled himself forward with a tumble and then top to bottom. He then would summon a giant wooden sword to swing as he used his good leg as a pivot point as well as the bat disappearing as he released it.

Termak looked at Judge and bowed her head to him, saying, “I have for long admired the realm of Order and wish to take OutWorld in its name. I want to eliminate the chaos from the realm and need assistance from those more knowledgeable than I.” She looked back up to him and said, “I have been to Order Realm before, and I yearn for a place such as it.”

Sol smirked as his shield caught his sister but the sudden drawing of arrows lead him to drop the shield where it was and placed his arm over his face. The arrow impaled through his arm armor and jabbed him in the eye as he walked backwards, the one to his neck piercing through just barely missing hitting a vital, the one to the chest making a mark into the same where Chaos had made the previous arrow hit, missing vitals as it went through. The next arrow ended up through his hand as he backed up further and wobbled in her range. The next arrows went through his elbow while the other missed. He then placed his arm down as he stepped back forward a few steps and brought his sword down upon her head. He hoped this would be the killing blow as he put all of his strength into it.

Domme stayed curled up where she was, spreading out as she laid down and looked up at the sky. She blinked slowly and then crossed her legs, thinking about what will happen if her sister can’t kill him. She’d probably try.

Sembren cold feel the un-comforting heat outside of her dome as he became warm. She began to freeze her dome and make it thicker in towards herself as all of a sudden, there was a blaze outside of her dome and made her sweat inside the ice. She froze it colder and condensed it as the explosion of white flames consumed the original outside of her dome. She took a breath when the fire stopped and felt the cold begin to set back in, letting the dome collapse as she glared at him with a light tanning now. She cackled at him as she said, “You think you’re hot shit…” She extended her arm out as ice shot from her hand towards him. If this made contact, he’d freeze up for a foot around the striking point. She threw her other hand forward as well to try and make sure she could trap him. During this she was running forward and was going to attempt to lick him on the nose.

Venir’s sight was blinded as a large flash of white assaulted him, whipping an arm up to shield his eyes. His robe fluttered at the back lash of the blast and he couldn’t see what was going on for a moment. As the blast seemed to die, he placed his arm down to see his sister still kicking. He hadn’t imagined that even she could have survived such a thing, let alone that one who had unleashed it upon her. He became more so interested in Terror, hoping this would end soon so they would be able to converse on certain matters.

[Lord English]

Tenebrae stood in the desert where she felt most comfortable, she would try again to pick at information in her father’s soul but he wasn’t letting up. She could even feel his soul fighting back. She took a deep breath and began to think about the more useful things she had learned. She spread her feet apart and clawed her hands like the eagle claws befitting a dragon, them circling to the outside of her body but never being at the same points in rotation. She jabbed at the air and focused on strong but fluid movements, her legs firm, her back straight, moving only when she felt the need to. Then she felt the ice coming back but her flesh began to burn. She curled over and fell to her knees. She took deep breaths as she made her hurting fingers unwrap her bandages to find her skin boiling red and moving up her arms. She tried to focus on getting it to go down and away, gritting her teeth so she wouldn’t scream.

Rai was headed to the outpost but heard her noisy brother following behind. She stopped and awaited him, her generator activating as she focused her magic on his incoming direction. She launched a bolt for his direction then formed a shield of it around herself. This entire time she stood straight and upright.

Sepht felt the icy blast on her ass and that just made her more pissed off. She ran until she could find an area to the west that seemed like an alright place to lay down on her front. “bastard…” She muttered under her breath.

Leif waited for her brother to get near with the blade as she crouched slightly. She heard the blade leave the ground and launched herself into the air into a back-flip to avoid the strike. Using her arched back, she swung her arm behind her to pull an arrow, tipping it in her magic as she landed and shot it at her brother. “Guardians are demi-gods, dumbass.”

Dahk continued to wander aimlessly, not caring where he was going or where he’d end up. He was beginning to get to a place where he decided to circle to the south, making his way unclear as he went.

Der had started heading east, that big shot’s little taunt wasn’t going to deter him. He then suddenly broke to the north out of a random compulsion. He ran in that direction as far as he felt like it before stopping.

Blut remained in the water and started to float. He hadn’t any clue what direction he had gone or was going and decided to climb up since it seemed the water he was heading towards was on fire. He grabbed a stone and climbed up the ledge and peered up to see Dahk, wandering aimlessly. He kept low and watched him.

Ferel had seen his sister ahead of him and wondered why she had stopped, then seeing her generator running he decided that this was not a good thing. He rolled to the side as electricity smacked the ground next to him and he yelled out, “The hell! I thought we’re all fighting for the same side!” He sped up as he summoned a massive club and swung at the electric shield.

Termak decided to keep following where Judge seemed to be going.

Sol caught the shaft of the arrow as it came towards him and snapped it in half, bringing his sword from its already up position to place onto a shield attached to his arm to strike down with its tip harder.

Domme ran South East East, ending up stopping somewhere out in the middle of where she could see the area just south of her. She sighed and curled to to get a little warm.

Sembren heard the words and from her dome she said, “I was born a genetic fuck-up. That’s how~!” She sounded very happy about it and she used her dome to focus herself and lowered its temperature to something more appealing. The fog around the dome began to stick to it and freeze to the dome. It was freezing faster as she dropped the temperature and proceeded to walk forward as she moved her dome with her to where she thought he was in general. She made sure that as she moved she kept it that cold, making sure she took her time getting to him. She spoke, “Okay handsome, let’s dance.”

Venir gave a bow of his head as he left, he thought of where he should go and let the thoughts swirl in his head of where to go. He closed his eyes and as he opened them, looked down to examine footprints. He easily picked out Tenebrae’s boot print and looked where it trailed off to. He smirked and took note in his head where it was going. He instead stepped outside of this cold area and watched from afar. He saw the black dome and it freezing, he smirked thinking his sister was going to bathe in blood. He really had wanted to meet this man so continued to watch without an assumed victor, more a preferred victor of this stranger.

[Lord English]

Tenebrae was astonished as the oncoming arrow was blocked by the body of another sibling. She heard the warning uttered by her siblings in that one man’s voice before her eldest brother terminated them forever. She sighed and then was hurt by the sonic blast, stumbling to get out as she uttered, “Thank you” as she ran out the door. She took off in a random direction, not sure where she was going or what she was going to do but stayed away from the place that felt cold. She ran and leaped from place to place where there were breaks in the land and wound up in an area that looked like it could have been a desert. She sighed and moved forward from there, hoping none of her siblings would follow her. She took a little time to pick at some of the soul’s brains. She tried to pick into four soul’s brains; Her parents, Sub-zero’s, and Smoke’s. She managed to at least learn something from all but Smoke. Shao Khan she learned his history, but sadly nothing more about the item she needed to find. Shang Tsung showed how to use her abilities more cohesively. Then from Sub-Zero’s soul she learned something far more important than his Cryomancy, the fundamentals and better forms in Dragon Style. She thought on these and thought about what she was learning from these four souls alone, sitting to attempt to meditate on it while no one was around her.

Rai continued to walk but felt the sonic blast from behind her. This was obnoxious and hurt like hell but she wasn’t about to show her pain. She then felt the cold ahead of her and she slipped her hand on her staff to start the generator. She placed her staff close to herself but found that it wasn’t emitting enough heat to really last going in further to the storm. She stepped away from the dome and walked off towards the Outworld outpost to hang out there for a while.

Sepht heard the sonic boom and shook her head. She continued towards the bastard until it got cold. She heard what he said and said, “ONCE ITS NOT COLD ANYMORE I WILL ANALLY FUCK YOU WITH MY TIT YOU WHORE!” She then turned and ran out of the cold and in a random direction in Chaos Realm.

Leif put a hand to her mouth when her arrow hit her brother. He was evil but not as evil as the little shit that was now getting away. Then the sonic boom went off right next them screeching in their heads. She went out, moving somewhere where it wasn’t too cold and awaited her brother so that they could fight.

Dahk was wandering aimlessly through Chaos Realm, hearing the sonic boom. He rubbed his temples as he tried to make his head stop hurting then feeling it get colder. He watched the clouds and sighed. “I am not going that way,” He assured himself then resumed walking randomly.

Der heard the boom but his mind immediately jumped from it to his mission of killing the Terror person. Then it got cold. “Sllab!” He yelled out and hopped around a bit, “Siht kcuf! Mih ekat nac Nerbmes! ereh attuo kcas mraw ym gnitteg m’i!” He started running and went to get out somewhere warmer.

Blut heard the boom and turned at it. He then felt the cold and heard him speak. He sighed and shook his head, as instead of making a fuss about the cold, he just turned and started walking away. He ended up heading towards where he could find the nearest water source. The nearest river was way too close to the freezing cold. He decided to go somewhere warmer and then leaped into the water and swam away.

Ferel heard the blast and stopped short. Then the cold and talking. He made it a point to run from the cold place and head to the Outworld Outpost.

Termak’s talk with the nice Order Realm man was cut short by the boom. She ran her way out and decided to follow after him, meaning no harm to him but to anyone in their way or to who may follow.

Sol felt the arrow hit his armor and get stuck with just the tip in it from being randomly teleported into its path. As the angry guardian left a boom in his head, he pulled the arrow out and went after Leif. He would enjoy ending anyone and it made him have a small smirk. He stood in front of her where she waited away from the cold a bit as he said, “Well, sister, looks like you’ve been fucked by a god.” He brought his blade down as he charged his sister and pulled the blade up from through the ground in an attempt to slice her in half.

Domme heard the boom then the temperature dropped. She started skipping away and said, “My tits are freezing, have fun sis.” She then took off running.

Sembren ran even when the sound effected her head. She didn’t mind the quake or the cold nor his words. She smirked and said, “Wow, it just got more comfortable here.” She ran at him and did a cute little cartwheel towards Terror as she said, “If I kill you, I can take your soul and use double ice to kill my eldest brother~!” She clapped her hands as she hopped around, rainbow colored ice starting to forming a dome around her.

Venir was fine until the sonic blast went into his head. He made sure to be the last sibling out and said to Chaos, “I apologize for the blood. I could clean it up if you wish?” He made sure to inch out the door, feeling the cold outside and ready to go explore what was going on.

[Lord English]

Tenebrae was starting to get her mind about her as she heard a request to kill him. She couldn’t get her head wrapped around it and stood up as she leaned forward a bit. Suddenly she was confronted in the room by two men and it seemed like everyone else was gone. She saw them coming at her and moved to react by stepping back. The flick missed and when her mind went back into reality, she continued to back and ran into the corner. She sighed a bit and looked around the room.

Rai remained where she was and heard the kill command as well. She ended up simply stepping back as the illusions took towards her. She sighed and decided to head after him, taking her time.

Sepht stayed put only to find everyone seem to leave around her as the two males seemed to confront her. She prepared for action as she was flicked on the head and her body fell over. She was unconscious for a moment but shook her head to get out of it. She stood up and started trying to find the bastard that did this.

Leif was ready to advance against Tenebrae and even though she heard the kill command, her mind knew to backstep then forward once the men were gone. She drew her bow and began to fire an arrow at her, releasing it as to try to not hit anyone else.

Dahk wanted to remain sturdy and the hearing of the kill command felt sudden to him. He suddenly saw two men before him coming towards him, stepping back as they flicked. He was released and saw an arrow rush by his face. He decided it was best to leave that area.

Der heard the kill command and responded firmly with a “Ecno ta!” He found his way out just as the illusion took place. He leaped back then the men disappeared as he took his running start for the one who caused this and heard his echoed words. The boy took his blade and fired bullets at him once he was in sight.

Shoal remained still and vigilant, hearing the demand was not of concern to him. He saw the others seem to vanish and two men come at him, flicking at him and managed to hit. He was down and out and didn’t seem to be waking up any time soon. His body spoke in its absence, “Death has come to this land and those that call them self my enemy shall feel her icy grasp for this day forward I have sold my soul to the Devil so that all of you shall cease to exist.”

Blut moved to go with Der as the command was given. He saw everything around him seem empty with two men before him, flicking at him. He didn’t manage to move away and was knocked down, but recovered shortly after smacking onto the ground and resumed to try to keep up with his brother.

Ferel decided to go for the hell of it, walking to where the man being demanded of getting killed was. He saw the room disappear around him and two men walk to him. He stepped back before they could flick and exited the spell, running to go on ahead.

Delmir wanted to stay put, hearing the command. Next thing he knew he saw two men in the room and nothing else. He was flicked in the temples by this images and was out cold. His body spoke, “Death has come to this land and those that call them self my enemy shall feel her icy grasp for this day forward I have sold my soul to the Devil so that all of you shall cease to exist,”

Termak was patiently awaiting Judge’s response to her when the kill thing was said. She ignored it then saw Judge disappear and two men take his place. She stepped back as they flicked then was released back to reality as she said, “So, you’re OrderRealm, right?”

Gengis remained firm in the middle, being pulled into the illusion due to that damned call to kill. He saw the two men but stood firm and was flicked on the head. He was out cold and remained such, the body speaking, “Death has come to this land and those that call them self my enemy shall feel her icy grasp for this day forward I have sold my soul to the Devil so that all of you shall cease to exist.”

Elmyra was willing to go and kill, but found the command had opened a gateway to being locked in a false reality with two men. She readied her ax and ended up flicked on the head. She ended up out cold and spoke, “Death has come to this land and those that call them self my enemy shall feel her icy grasp for this day forward I have sold my soul to the Devil so that all of you shall cease to exist.”

Sol stood at the ready and walked at the kill was given. He enjoyed destroying things and the two illusion men appeared where he had to step back. He then glanced over and ran at Chaos, swinging his blade.

Domme hopped up and down at the kill command and started running out, her mind luckily having her take one backwards hop as she skipped after her brothers and others to go fight Terror. The message creeped her out a little but soon he’d be her slave.

Sembren took to skipping at the kill command, her mind letting her take a hop back afterwards as she wanted to simply see the torture. She was giddy when the message was heard and chills ran up and down her spine.

Venir heard only part of the kill command as he stepped back from the two illusion men. He wasn’t about to take orders from anybody nor fall into some wimpy illusion. He saw the arrow fly by as it headed towards his sister. He spoke to himself, “Hmn… Interesting…” He moved to the three knocked out bodies and decided to finish the job. He pinned the knocked out bodies to the ground with souls in the form of skulls, moving to each body one right after the other as blood exploded everywhere and the three souls were torn apart. He took the time to wipe the blood from himself and even licked a little off his fingers.

[Lord English]

Tenebrae felt her mind slipping and fast, then a voice was in it. She turned as Chaos was moving from behind her and swung at the air, only to turn again to be spat at. She was able to resist attacking the man who did so and tried to get herself back in order. There was a few soul trying to fight their way out but she could hold them back despite completely losing her mind. She felt her freezing slowly recede, thankfully still ice. She saw the man and another man leave, trying to move to a corner that lead to the… floor. She took the opportunity to curl up into a little ball (for a ten foot tall woman) and hid her head between her knees. She tried to resist an urge to scream but she ended up doing so anyways. “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! I AM TOO FUCKING YOUNG FOR THIS! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!” She hoped this would get it out of her head. Which she ended up pressing against the wall with her head as it flung back. She started mumbling to herself, “Needtofixoutworldneedtofixoutworld… Need to fix OutWorld…” She kept repeating it to herself.

Sixteen portals from Outworld would open up, each one stepped out one of the Khan siblings that had entered Kombat. The first to reveal themselves was Rai, dressed in her finest at six foot nine and bringing her staff. She felt the madness but it did not effect her so quickly, her wondering about standing on the wall. She didn’t open her mouth to question it.
The next out was Sepht, second smallest of the siblings at five foot three. She placed her blade on her shoulder and chuckled.
The next through was Leif, standing at eight foot two and her eyes narrowing at her impaired sister. She moved to a corner away from her and just glared.
The next in was Dahk t seven foot nine, holding his staff and a glowing green and blue dual tubed vial on his necklace. He just stood firm and gave light huff, disliking the growing crowd.
The next out was Der at six foot ten, he’d been here many times and enjoyed it here. He cracked his neck and said, “Tihs siht kcor ot emit.”
The next in was Shoal at eight foot eleven, his entire clothed being having souls reeking from him. He took to a corner no one had taken yet to stand silently.
The next in was Blut at seven foot four, he just stood solid.
Then Ferel at five foot even, darting out and screaming at the top of his lungs, “YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!”
Then Delmir at eight foot three, flipping his blade to his shoulder.
Termak at seven foot eight came out and immediately moved to Judge and gave him a polite bow.
Gengis came out at nine foot ten and made sure to stand in the dead center of the room.
Elmyra stepped in at nine foot even, wanting to walk back out as she shook her head and tried to keep hold of herself.
Sol walked in at six foot three and just said, “You’re all going to die…” He took to a wall while on the wall.
Domme walked out with a sway of her hips at five foot nine and said, “Hello future slaves~!” She flicked her hand up and started hopping around.
Sembren leaped in through her portal and started skipping around and giggling.
The last one out was Venir, taking a deep breath as he looked at his siblings and the others present in the room and chuckled to himself. He saw his youngest sister, curled up in the corner and said, “Seems the ‘perfect one’ is already lost. If only father could see her now…”

[Lord English]

Bell’uomo sat patiently on the plane as it began to pull out and out to taxi. The couple beside him had gone silent and seemed to not want to stir up any more trouble with him. He sighed and relaxed in his seat. The plane took off without delay and took off into the air. He leaned his head back and pressed it against the pillow. This was going to be a long flight and he was going to enjoy it. He closed his eyes and liked the smooth flight they were having. He didn’t open his eyes for hours, he had fallen asleep but was still very aware.

[Lord English]

Bell’uomo watched as passengers exited the aircraft, all of them either irritated or focused. Only the children looked at all relaxed or an array of emotions. He could hear someone coming off the plane with a baby, the sound of its cry resonated with pain. He presumed its ears had popped and had hurt the poor thing. He sighed as he told himself to not go and examine it. He resumed watching the people as the farewell from Manticore repeated in his mind. He shook his head a bit to try to ignore the thought of just mindlessly hunting the fools who messed with him. He brought a hand up to his eyes and gently rubbed them with his middle finger and thumb, listening ever carefully.

He finally heard his ticket section called, he wasn’t in business class or first class as some call it. He had chosen to sit in the common class, leaving a seat for someone who needs it or was foolhardy enough to choose comfort over safety. He was about at the center of the plane, over looking the wing. He slid the briefcase under the seat in front of him and leaned back in the small seat, buckling in as he waited for everyone to load on and take their seats. A couple ended up sitting beside him, they seemed friendly but the male took one look at him and could have knocked over someone if a strong wind had came from his nose just by how fast it upturned.

Bell’uomo didn’t take the opportunity to speak to them, just granting a nod of hello. This granted him an abrasive response of, “Who the hell wears a suit on an airplane?”

The female nudged her mate but Bell’uomo decided to be on the upper end of the conversation and let his accent shine, “Just an Italian ambassador going to a meeting.”

The male snickered and said, “Don’t they pay you assholes enough to ride in first class all the time?”

His female begged him to stop but Bell’uomo decided to make him stop for her, “Why would someone ride in first class? Yes, it is more comfortable but in the case of emergencies, it is a highly inefficient place to be. The amount of space in the seats leaves room for concussive and skull crushing forces where here, the seats are tight enough that in a crash, you would mostly be able to get up and walk away from it. Now please, stop being rude to your flower and listen to her before I slap some manners into you.”

This enraged the male but he sat down and just took it. The female sighed in relief but seemed mad that Bell’uomo had said that to him and yet at the same time very satisfied. Bell’uomo sat waiting for the plane to move silently, hoping that no more fights or arguments would get picked with him.

[Lord English]

Bell’uomo smiled at the creature and looked at the owner as the phone went off. His look went back to the creature as it sat itself and stared at its owner. He watched the nose flick and then Manticore waking. He heard her speak in anger then giving thanks to the small creature. Then he gazed up at her again as he was asked if he’d let the pangolin near his pockets. He proceeded to flip them inside out to show he had nothing in them anyway, it seeming that some time he had slipped his travel documents into the briefcase at some time. He then pressed them back in and said, “It was nice talking to you too. I am sure our paths will cross again. And thank you.” He stood up as he saw his plane arrive. “Seems I have to go as well. Caio.” He bowed his head to her and began to walk to his flight, not before grasping his briefcase and walking to go catch his flight. He knew it would still be a little but he hadn’t been at the correct place anyways. He would sit closer to his flight and open the briefcase just a crack to show darkness as his fingers reached in and pulled out his ticket.

[Lord English]

He was curious as to what the little thing had been picking up on as it sniffed, most likely his wolf. He let out a content breath through his nose and then let Carmen lick him on the cheek. He was sitting with a smile after that and quietly chuckled. He looked at the small being and its scaled beauty and whispered, “You’re a cute one.” He went back to chilling, peeking to see if his plane was coming in but didn’t see it yet. He took a deep breath and relaxed almost fully, only peeking around from time to time out of sheer habit.

[Lord English]

Tenebrae returned into the building where she had left her father laying. He was on the ground sleeping from their little experiment. She moved over to him and gently placed her hand on his head. She slowly crushed her fingers onto his head, pressing her nails into his temples. She pulled in her father’s soul as he just awoke and yelled in pain, it being silenced as he was absorbed. Shang Tsung saw it all and made a break for it. Tenebrae turned her head and narrowed her eyes. She attempted a smoke teleport in front of him and this resulted in her overshooting a bit. This gave him time to launch a strike at her temple. She leaned out of the way and got stabbed in the cheek, he was too shot to reach and he had just put himself into close range. “Don’t try to run, mother,” She cackled as she launched her hand at him, grasping his front and holding him up. He struggled against her but she placed her hand onto his face and ripped his soul from him and absorbed it. She shivered and let out a sigh.

She felt their powers and strengths inside of herself and rubbed her hands along her own body, “Oh damn this feels so good.” She was filled with a near orgasmic pleasure from the mere feeling of the power. She ran her fingers up herself and thought of something she could do. She focused herself and decided to try to master the smoke teleportation thing. She ended up in what she thought was the middle of nowhere next to someone who looked completely human. She looked him over and noticed he seemed slightly shocked that she was there and to what she looked like. She smirked and tried her hand at some small talk and said, “Hello.”

“You are a woman?” The human spoke as he got on edge, standing ready to fight. “You are a woman Shao Khan?”

“His daughter,” Tenebrae smirked and said, “My name is Tenebrae Khan. And you are?”

“Liu Kang,” The human responded, attempting to decide to trust this woman and instead keeping his guard high.

Tenebrae began to circle Liu Kang like a vulture over a corpse. She chuckled at him and asked, “Why so on edge?”

The human turned as she circled him and said, “I have dealt with a so called daughter of Shao Khan before and was lead to my death.”

Tenebrae left out a horrible laugh and decided to try a short teleport to right behind him, managing to do so and followed up with a punch to his head. He went forward and down a he was punched in the back of the head by her sheer force. She grabbed him and sucked the soul right into herself before it could escape. She felt what he had and smirked, “Guess I should do more sight seeing.” She chuckled and attempted another poof, ending up in a small city near a female that appeared to be steaming a little. The air appeared to be cold around her and Tenebrae shook off the cold feeling. She looked at her and laughed, “What a cute little icey woman, what’s your name?”

“Just fuck off,” the woman said, preparing herself for battle as she said, “Unless you want to fight.”

“Oh bring it bitch!” Tenebrae smirked and got herself into Mantis style. She chuckled and watched as Frost decided to attack out with a quick ice blast to the ground right at Tenebrae’s feet. Tenebrae managed to step back and smoke teleport behind Frost. She launched her fist at the back of Frost’s head, only for Frost to pivot and push the hand to the side, causing the hit to fail except for a small bruise. Then she moved for a punch to Tenebrae’s chest, the blow connecting but seeming to not do high amounts of damage. She moved in quick strikes for the ribs, chest, neck and temples with two strikes in each. Frost attempted to keep up and missed the first hit to the ribs, blocking the second hit, pushing away the two hits to the chest, took a fierce jab to her throat, causing her throat to close but still blocking the second jab, pushing aside the first temple jab but the second one landing. Frost ended up on the ground twitching, so Tenebrae knelt down and grasped Frost by the head and whispered, “You fucked up.” She pulled Frost’s soul while she was still regaining herself, her scream echoing out into the NetherRealm. She felt cold all of the sudden, shivering a bit and feeling her breath get cold a bit. She tried to bring up some of the fire of one of the earlier souls she had acquired and couldn’t manage it.

She tried to fix herself by focusing on trying to place the cold feeling somewhere else, that going nowhere as well. She tried again with the fireball, managing a small ball but not enough to keep herself warm. She tried to make something bigger but it fizzled out. She then sat herself down and let herself meditate to try to focus the frost, sitting for seven hours in the nether. She had finally pulled it to a point that she could contain it within herself without giving it away. She broke from her meditation and stood up, taking a deep breath and using the smoke to teleport once more at random. This lead her to end up next to a Centaurian that she thought she kind of recognized. She looked him over and said with an ice breath, “Centaurian, do you have spawns?”

He looked over at her with his eyes focused on her. His horns were freaking magnificent. He moved closer to her and spoke in a somewhat harsh tone, “Yeah, I got a few.” He eyed her over her and said, “I guess you are one of Khan’s?”

Tenebrae nodded to the question and said, “I am, but I know one of your spawn, he is very close to me.” She looked him over and smirked to herself. “Now I see where he got his good looks.”

“Flattery will get you no where, Khan,” He stamped one of his hooves and stepped closer. “What is it that you wish?”

“To give you a chance to fight again,” She spoke to him, his raised eyebrow seeming to show his peaked interest. She lost her smirk but couldn’t contain her cockiness. “See, I am not just his child, obviously. I have powers and skills. With just my hand I can make you fight for OutWorld once more.”

“And what if I like it here?” Motaro attempted an argument.

“There are many ways to continue to serve,” She spoke and placed her hand on his chest. “So now, I would like you to choose.”

Motaro thought about it and looked down at the hand already on him. He did want a chance to fight again, but she seemed to be hinting at something. He decided to take his chances and said, “I will fight for you.”

“Great,” Tenebrae said as she began to force the soul from him. He was obviously in pain as he naturally attempted a resistance against the taking of his soul. In the end, he was taken in. Tenebrae sighed and rlled her shoulders. “I really do like this sight seeing,” She spoke to herself. “Maybe OutWorld could take it over one day.” She smoked out of there and to where she was dropped off next. She ended up in front of what seemed to be a striped Shokan but was greeted by a roar in her face and a firm punch to the chest. She fell over from the chest punch and the being got on top of her. She gave a glare and said, “Dude, chill the fuck out!”

The mighty being looked her over then and snarled at her. “You look like him.”

“I look like my father, yeah,” She pushed herself to get up, him getting off of her.

“What you want?” He seemed still very on edge, she did just appear out of nowhere.

Tenebrae smirked and said, “I want you to help fight for Outworld again.” She hoped the same argument would receive the same results.

“No,” He said and growled at her as he started to walk away.

Tenebrae grew a bit mad by this and said, “The fuck do you mean no? You’re a fucking Shokan, aren’t ya?”

“By no I mean no, and yes I am,” He snarled back at her and continued to walk away.

Tenebrae only got more frustrated. “So you are a fuzzy Shokan who isn’t going to fight for where you are from?!” She decided to take that way in the argument.

“Yes,” He continued to walk away from her despite her following.

Tenebrae thought a moment and said, “Then you’ve picked the wrong side.” She attempted an ice blast from her hand, it shooting out and freezing his foot but not the rest of him. He turned and broke his foot free of the ice and swung at her with his two right arms. She hopped back away from the clawed hands and then lashed out another ice attack aimed straight for him. The ice melted in mid air from it not being focused enough and didn’t even make contact with him. He stepped forward and took another swing at her this time with his left arms. She smoked out of the way of the attack to being behind him and this time punched out to try for a fireball. The fireball was decent and flew out of her hand but the large being felt the heat and moved out of the way. He used his dodge to gain momentum as he used his claws as an asset in a palm strike against her. She managed to step back but not fully away from the claws as minor cuts went into her wrappings. She took this closeness as an opportunity to blast him again with ice. The ice formed and blasted out, this time freezing him whole. She took a deep breath and placed her hand onto the ice, pulling the soul out that way. Her mind felt slightly distorted as she felt the rage and fury of this powerful and savage beast. She trembled at it and felt the souls fighting for their freedom, but she forced them back down. She decided to sit down and meditate to keep control, finding it extremely difficult as she took up another seven hours just to keep things under control. She missed her ax, where she could have stored them to keep the traffic down. She did regain control through, her hair smoking as she began to equal her focus to what all she needed to control.

She decided that it was alright to keep searching but felt as if she needed something first. She pulled down her pants and pressed out that wine bottle she still had up in there. She examined the glass and was amazed to find not a single crack on it. This made her chuckle a bit as she pulled it out and opened it up, taking a large sip of it. It was warm and burned a bit on the way down, seeming to have fermented a bit more in its unusual storage place. She then slammed the cork back in and wiped off the edges with the fabric of her pants, sliding it back into its place and feeling ready to go again. She smoked out of there and moved on to the next place, spotting a human with odd mechanical features. She recalled being told about him and thought of what he would be doing dead. She spoke up, “Are you Kano?”

The human turned to her and his mechanical eye seemed to focus in. He was looking her over and nodded, “Yeah, and you’re a tall fucker.” He took out one of his butterfly knives and a sharpener as he started to sharpen it a bit. “The fuck is a tall bird like you doin’ out in the middle of this fuckin hell?”

“Visiting,” Tenebrae spoke and was confused by some of his wording as she said, “I am not a bird?”

“Then you must be a very pretty man,” Kano smirked at his own joke. This was getting on Tenebrae’s nerves. He said, “Bird means a lady, woman, whatever the fuck you want to call it. Ya got huge tits.” He swung the knife around as he spoke and went back to sharpening it when he was done.

Tenebrae sighed and said, “Yes I am a woman.”

“Now you said visiting?” He he pointed the knife at her then flipped it shut. “Who the hell kind of lady decides to visit a pit of fire just for visiting sake? Since you know of me and you look like you’d be a champ came to do a little one on one with a legend, yeah? Maybe take a peek at my bigger knife?” He seemed like he was having too good a time speaking of it.

Tenebrae sighed and said, “Sure… Let’s go with that.”

He got cocky and pulled his pants down as he let his junk hang free as he said, “Here ya go, go on.”

Tenebrae moved closer to him and knelt down, grasping her hand around it then forcing his soul out through there. He tried to pull back but she only gripped down tighter as she ripped his soul from him. She chuckled, very satisfied with this. She felt the cold begin to rear its head again, taking a deep breath as she regulated herself. She thought about leaving a statue but it would be dignified. She just froze the body anyways and stood up. She smoked off to a different place, ending up near an odd human who appeared to be beating on a rock. She assumed he was practicing but it seemed he had noticed her. He turned and got ready to fight right off the bat. She got ready to fight as well seeing as he seemed keen on seeing her as a threat right off the bat.

He took a few circled steps towards her and when he was close enough, he punched towards her chest then to back away from her. Tenebrae blocked the hit then stepped forward and launched a blast of ice towards him. It hit his arm as he stepped out of the way but it didn’t spread. He instead used the frozen arm to attempt to batter her. The arm made contact with hers and it shattered against her forceful block. His arm was gone but some of the frozen bit was still attached so he wasn’t bleeding. He seemed confident enough to carry on with just the one arm. Tenebrae was cut up a bit from the shards but was prepared to try something she hadn’t done yet. She exhumed herself out to his body as a collaboration of souls in one cluster. He moved as the cluster went at him and her body reformed using smoke.

She turned at him and blasted another round of ice, aiming for his feet. The ice attached only one foot to the ground and not by much. She then took the soul cluster form again and went at him. He managed to get himself free from the ice but not in time as the cluster entered his body. He gripped his head and went to the ground as her body tried to force out of his. He was yelling as he felt his skin pulling apart, his eyes pushing out as they began to bleed. Soon his soul gave out and the body splattered apart as Tenebrae’s form stood where he once stood. She smirked and picked off some of the remaining flesh bits that were stuck on her frame. She felt no need to readjust her souls or spend much focus, it felt like they were giving up and just letting her use them. She used the smoke poof to go to another place, ending up near a badly burnt human. He turned to her and pulled out two hook swords. “Hold on there,” Tenebrae spoke, him seeming to keep the swords pointed down to the ground. “How did you get like that?” She was looking his body over and even moved in a little closer.

“Shao Khan’s men,” He spoke with a calm seriousness as he watched her carefully. “You look like him.”

“I am one of his daughters,” She spoke, noticing him getting on guard again she continued, “This must have been horrible. I thought he just killed people. This is insane.” She moved closer and placed her hands on his flesh, her hands being cold where the burnt flesh seemed warm. She looked at him and shook her head, “I won’t bother you.”

He stared at her as she left and said, “What do you mean?”

“I’ve been collecting souls,” She turned her head and spoke directly to him. “I won’t bother you, I don’t want your soul,” She returned to facing away from him and took a deep breath, smoke poofing away before he could say anything in return. She ended up near a figure she knew better from something that was taught to her as a child. This woman before her was a half-tarkata experiment that was a power hungry clone. She thought about what she had been feeling due to the other souls and decided that this may not be a soul that she wanted, just due to the lessons on her she had been taught.

She removed herself with a poof and popped up in another place seeing a woman with a tanned skin and a yellow outfit. She shook her head and rubbed her temples, luckily not getting seen. She decided to might as well try to take this one and launched an ice attack at her. The ice made contact across Tanya’s side and spread over her this time. She went up to the ice and pulled out the soul, feeling some nice things enter her system. She let out a deep breath as she smoke poofed again and ended up near someone who felt colder than the one inside of her. She looked at him and had a slight smirk but the feeling of this person being near made one of the souls she had thought had given up began to fight again. She saw her fingers begin to turn blue through cracks in her wraps, trying to focus heat to them despite the male being there. He had already noticed her and by the looks of it he was not too pleased, he didn’t exactly seem too mad either.

Tenebrae tried to instead focus on suppressing the soul as she knelt down, curling her hands to be close to the core of her body as she tried to push her back. The progression of freezing didn’t stop but it did slow down. The man was now standing over her and Tenebrae looked up from her curled position as she said, “Who are you looking at?” When she finished talking, she curled her head back down to keep in her own heat.

He only looked slightly down to look at her and simply asked, “How do you have that power?”

Tenebrae stayed curled up as she tried again to force the soul back down, finally being able to suppress it enough to reverse the effects before her fingers could be completely frozen. She looked up at him and said, “I attained it…” She slowly moved her fingers to get the blood flowing back into them and uncurled from her ball, standing to a point he had to look up at her now.

He took the opportunity to use a firm kick to knock her down while she was still trying to stand and walked up to place his foot on her throat. He stared at her and said, “How? And why do you look like Shao Khan.”

She felt his foot on her throat and all that did was make her a bit excited. She took a deep breath and said, “By chance, alright? And because I am one of his daughters. Get off me… Please? Your foot on my throat is making me horny…”

He was a bit taken aback by the last statement and moved his foot from her throat. He repeated again, “How did you attain it by chance?”

Tenebrae sighed and said, “Damn it, I was just getting all wet. And again, just by wandering around here, something happened, now I got them. Alright?” She stood herself up and felt the bottle of wine slip out into her pants. “Hold that thought,” She spoke as she reached into her pants and shoved the wine bottle back up in.

The man looked at her and said, “Go away.” He turned and started walking away from her.

Tenebrae shrugged and said, “Alright, might be back, handsome!” She chuckled then since she knew he wasn’t looking, used the smoke to teleport away. She ended up near a human, and he just seemed too normal for her as she witnessed him training. She poofed away, ending up not near anyone. She took a deep breath and tried again, ending up near a humanistic looking Oni. She didn’t like the looks of him so tried once again, running into another human. She sighed and decided to just take this one. She launched an immediate ice attack at her unsuspecting victim, Kobra unable to dodge in time. She moved over and pulled out his soul, it feeling not as strong as the others. She took a moment to admire how he was frozen then poofed away.

She ended up near a human female, thinking nothing of it she immediately launched an ice attack. It froze Kira solid and Tenebrae acquired the soul, moving onto the next place. This took her to a female Shokan that she knew from being around such that her name was Sheeva. She smiled openly and decided to try talking to her, “Greetings Sheeva!”

Sheeva turned to look at Tenebrae and smirked a bit. “You look like Shao Khan, but you are a woman?”

“I been getting that a lot,” Tenebrae spoke with a sigh, “I am Tenebrae Khan, one of his daughters and I would like to offer you a chance to fight again. Will you take it?”

Sheeva thought and said, “It would be an honor to serve.”

Tenebrae smirked and grabbed Sheeva’s head and pulled her soul out painfully. The grunting was musing to Tenebrae and she felt great after the soul was taken in. She cracked her neck and began to teleport again to where the smoke would lead her. She ended up near no one again, taking the time to take out the wine, open it, and take another drink. She then corked it, placed it back in its hide hole, and teleported again. Another damn human, she launched ice at him. She ended up freezing Stryker’s legs in place and placed her hand on the back of his head while he struggled to get out. She forced his soul out of the back of his head and listened to him scream as it was torn from him. She felt exhilarated by it and teleported to the next place. This took her to a blue oni, which she ignored and teleported away again.

This took her back to where she had exploded Sektor, seeing a human looking at the torn up shreds. He looked up at her and immediately blamed her, striking out at her with a series of punches aimed for her chest and stomach. She smoked behind him and used her fist to swing at his head, his forward motion moving him from the strike range. He turned and unleased another round of strikes, her smoking around him again and this time unleashing some quick mantis strikes at his torso and neck. He got hit only by the first strike and turned to counter, her blocking the counter with a slight bruising. She launched a punch at his head and cracked him right in the temple, knocking him down and out. She pulled up Cyrax and ripped his soul out of his body. She couldn’t get enough and teleported again.

She saw the humanistic oni again and just teleported away to seek others. She ended up near a female wearing jade clothing, launching ice as soon as she saw her. This froze Jade’s foot to the ground and caused her to turn and rip her own foot off just to get at her. She used the stubbed leg in a swift kick to the stomach, it missing as Tenebrae smoked behind her. She then threw a back fist right for Jade’s head, just missing as Jade stumbled a bit on the lack of foot. She turned and used the leg again to kick at Tenebrae’s abs, she made contact only to have her leg caught by Tenebrae’s hand. Tenebrae crushed her hand shut, snapping Jade’s bones in her hands. She then used the limb to push her, causing Jade to fall over onto the ground. Tenebrae stepped onto Jade’s chest and firmly stomped down onto her throat, then taking the soul as Jade drowned on her own blood. She smirked and took the chance to teleport again.

She once again saw the human-ish Oni and teleported away once more, ending her up in the same place. She decided to just launch ice at the un-expecting Oni, freezing him solid and just leaving him there as she teleported away. This lead her to one that she knew was Sindel, deciding not to mess with her and trying to teleport away. This only put her in front of the person she had been attempting to avoid, Noob. She immediately teleported away, only to be followed by him. She saw a human and attempted to throw ice at him, only to see Noob catch up so the ice only got his foot. She teleported away from Noob and ended up back near one of the other humans, Jarek. She threw ice at him but it had missed, alerting him and him not slipping on the ice. He turned and threw a punch at her, she caught the punch in her hand and broke his arm. Noob then showed up. She tried to teleport away but Noob threw a strike at her. This strike threw her to the ground of which from where she attempted to teleport again, only to need to roll out of the way of another strike. She threw ice at Noob, freezing most of his body. She took this opportunity to turn her attention back to the human. She threw a punch at Jarek’s head and managed to punch him down and out. She placed her hand on Jarek’s head and took the soul. Just as the soul entered her body, Noob breaking out of the ice.

She attempted another teleport, making it away. They ended up teleporting into the same place and she tried another attempt at getting away, managing as she ended up teleporting to a red thing that she had no clue what the heck it was. She threw ice at Meat, freezing him solid just as Noob arrived. She attempted to leave but Noob got in another strike to knock her back. She tried again from the ground, getting away. They ended up teleporting to the same spot again. She growled and said, “Just back the fuck off!” She had to dodge as a punch was thrown at her, not allowing her to teleport yet. This time she managed before he could unleash another strike. She ended up teleporting back to the one man that she had managed to creep out and then Noob showed up. She teleported away just as both of them unleashed a torrent of ice. She ended up near one that she knew she shouldn’t be near, Quan Chi. Noob was hot on her trail and she attempted a quick teleport, her getting blasted by ice and frozen. While she still was conscious, she focused on fire coming from various parts of her body to get it off from the different souls that could use fire, it not working as Quan Chi just took notice of the fight near him. She managed to melt herself out then tried once more for a teleport, ice being thrown at her again. She rolled out of the way and threw ice back at Noob, Quan Chi deciding to watch and see who would come up the victor. The ice hit his leg and started to spread, him throwing ice back to her. She failed to teleport and got her legs frozen to the ground. She held a fire ball to the ice on her and watched as it melted, then threw it at Noob. He managed to make it miss, but used the heat to melt the ice. He teleported behind her and launched another ice blast at her. She turned and felt the ice hit her, bringing up the fire again. The ice melted and she quelled the fire to throw ice at him once more, catching his foot again. She then teleported away before either of the two could get any ideas.

She ended up in an area near Mavado and immediately launched her ice at him, freezing him all but his head. She moved and placed her hand on his head, ripping the soul out as Noob showed up. She tried to teleport but ice was thrown at her, freezing her legs again. She melted it off quick with fire then threw the ball at Noob, him getting hit in the chest with the fireball and burning the front of his clothes off. She took the moment to teleport away, ending up back near the other ice fellow. She attempted a teleport as he launched an ice attack, her getting hit and most of her frozen. She started a fire ball and began melting the ice, Noob catching up as she hit the other with the fire ball to burn most of him. Sub-Zero focused his ice to place out the flames. Noob launched another ice at her as she failed an attempt to leave, managing to only teleport behind him as she attempted to punch him in the back of the head. Her knuckled connected and there was a firm skull crack to the back of his head. As he went down to try to recover, Sub-Zero threw ice at her and froze most of her. She was stuck for a moment as she mustered the fire again, then swiftly rerouted and focused on the ice.

She managed to turn it off around her, launching ice back at him and freezing most of him. She ran up and tried to place her hand on him, he managed to break from the ice as she began tearing his soul from his body. Noob rose and fired an attack at her from behind of ice, her managing to break from the soul steal and dodge out of the way. She turned and fired ice at Noob, him teleporting to be further away from her. He shot ice at her as Sub-Zero regained himself enough to fire. She managed to teleport away from them once more. This took her back to the trapped human Hsu Hao, her reaching to finish what she started. She ripped his soul from his body as Noob showed up. She couldn’t leave before he launched another attack, rolling out of the way of the ice. She managed to get out a teleport, ending up near Sindel again. She was about to throw an attack when Noob showed up, her teleporting right before an attack touched her. This time she ended up near Nitara as she noticed Noob was right on her tail this time. She teleported away swiftly and ended up back near Mileena.

She sighed and launched an ice attack at her, freezing her lower half of the body. Mileena took no time in throwing a Sai at her, it catching Tenebrae’s arm as she dodged. She continued to come toward Mileena and tried to place her hand on her, just as Noob got there. Mileena took the chance and bit onto Tenebrae’s hand. She launched an ice attack in Mileena’s mouth and pulled her hand free as the soul was taken. Noob shot at her and covered her completely in ice, Tenebrae trying ice first to get rid of it and failing as he approached so used fire to melt herself out. She threw a punch at Noob and Noob at her as they closed in on one another. Both of them hitting each other and being pushed back. Tenebrae cracked her jaw back into place, teleporting away.

She ended up near a familiar face, Baraka, but Noob was right on her tail. Baraka saw that she was fleeing him and that she looked like Shao Khan and took the initiative to strike at Noob. Even though he didn’t hit Noob, she managed to teleport away. She ended up near no one and Noob was nearly right behind her again. She had to dodge an ice attack, throwing fire back at him to miss. She then teleported out of there once more, taking her back to Kabal. She huffed as she saw Noob didn’t track her exactly this time and moved to use the fire ball to heal her wounds, burning herself a bit more than she wanted but closing anything that was open. She looked at Kabal and said, “Hey…”

Kabal gave her a nod as Noob showed up. Tenebrae sighed and said, “Would you give me a break?!” She teleported away to the middle of nowhere again, instantly teleporting again to an area containing Goro. She wasn’t going to take him and instead wanted to try again elsewhere, teleporting away before Noob could catch up to end up near no one. She teleported away to Goro again and sighed. She teleported once more, ending up back near Sub-Zero and luckily Noob still one step behind her. She launched an ice attack at him but he rolled out of the way, immediately firing ice back at her. She got somewhat frozen and Noob finally showed up. Noob threw an attack to attempt to freeze her as she thawed herself with fire and rolled out of the way. She threw ice at Sub-Zero and froze most of him, Noob tossing ice at her but her managing to dodge. She then made a run for it and pressed her hand onto his head, Noob threw ice at her bottom half and she didn’t take herself away to thaw it. Sub-Zero couldn’t break out in time before she pulled his soul from his body, Noob becoming enraged.

Tenebrae managed to thaw herself but just to get a smaller portion of her body frozen again. She threw an ice attack at him to freeze about the same as she threw at him. Her body began to freeze up and she tried to focus the soul down and pull up some of the fire. The fire just sizzled out in her hands and she tried to just unfreeze by pushing the soul back, Noob firing a shot at her. She got the freezing to slow down immensely but couldn’t break free, getting more external ice in the process. She couldn’t break free with fire, using her sheer strength to burst out as she tried to quell her freezing. It managed to start reversing as she returned to normal and used the ice energy to shoot out at Noob. He was frozen from the neck down. Tenebrae took the chance to say, “Just stop fighting me for a moment and let me explain!”

He managed out of the ice, throwing some back at her. She rolled out of the way while saying, “Look, I am just borrowing them.” She started to slowly freeze up again and threw ice at Noob, refreezing him from the chest and down. “I just need to get through Kombat.” He broke from the ice again and threw some at her, her taking the hit to be frozen. She broke out using her strength again as she said, “Place Outworld back into order.” She shot ice back at him, freezing nearly all of him but holes where his ears should be and where his nose was. “Then you can kill me all you fucking want!” He broke free of the ice again and finally stopped fighting.

He looked at her and said, “You survive Kombat, and I will help you restore Outworld.” He took out a kunai and sliced his hand open and handed it to her.

She took it and looked at it then at him. “Are you sure you would do that?” He nodded and kept his hand out to her. She took the kunai and sliced her hand open, her blood meeting his as they shook on it. They were now bonded by a blood oath. She smiled at him, genuinely instead of in her typical cocky smirk, “Well, I guess I should get to Kombat.” He turned and opened the way for her to go to the arena. She had to fight off the inner cold once more and before she went through she said, “I won’t let you down. Also, I am only eighteen by the way, while I was gathering souls, I told myself I wanted this place. Not for the sake of conquering what I can, but because it is pretty and I wished OutWorld looked like this.” She then passed through to chaos realm, seeing the others and the already finished fight and the chaos guardian there. She stood off to the side, focusing on trying not to freeze and running over information gained as she waited to see what was going to happen next or if she’d be called up.

Tenebrae made sure to wait some time to heal, keeping the bandages on because if she dare took them off, they’d get put right back on. She smirked as she sat herself up, it was painful but she enjoyed it. To her luck, her men seemed to be distracted by each other and making rounds. She gazed along them until her eyes locked onto the sorcerer. She stood and walked over to them, placing a hand on their shoulder. “I need to go back,” Tenebrae spoke seriously then offered a smirk or reassurance.

“No,” The sorcerer spoke firmly and went back to doing what they were doing.

Tenebrae frowned and the fingers moved to the sorcerer’s tiny throat as she said, “I need… to go back…”

The sorcerer sighed and opened the portal and said, “There. My apologies.”

Tenebrae smirked then looked at her ax, deciding to leave it behind. She stepped through and back into the NetherRealm. She walked forward and was sure someone would notice, even though she was dropped off back in the middle of nowhere. She was close to where she had entered before, beginning to walk. As she got closer to the destination she had to go to, she saw two figures in the distance which appeared to be talking. She got down onto the ground and watched them carefully as she hoped not to be seen. It appeared neither did but the one seemed to be looking around as they took off in opposite directions. She started a slow stand as she resumed her walk to the town. As she entered it, some of the women recognized her and went indoors. She peeked in door to door to try to figure out where her father had went.

She took a while trying to find him, eventually getting the right door and just helping herself in. He was sitting in a chair at a table, peeking over at her as the door closed. She walked over to him as she ducked under door frames then knelt down near him. She said, “Father, I need to ask you some questions. First off, I want to know if what everything thinks makes them rule Outworld is what truly we should have been searching for?”

“And that would be?” He stated with a smirk as if he knew.

“Your helm,” She spoke then peeked out to see if anyone she was trying to avoid was outside. Her attention turned back to her father.

Shao Khan smirked and let out a laugh. “No,” He spoke once he was finished.

Tenebrae shook her head and said, “Then what is?”

“You’ll have to find that out yourself,” Shao Khan pointed at her then looked down, “The answer is in the library.”

Tenebrae hesitated and then she said, “Fuck… You don’t mean the library in the castle?”

Shao Khan nodded and smirked, “You aren’t in the castle, are you?”

“No,” Tenebrae smirked a bit, “When all of my siblings divided, I took the brewery.”

Shao Khan shook his head and said, “Good luck then. Just, one more thing before you go.”

“What?” She spoke harshly to him.

“You are such a perfect specimen for Outworld,” He rose from his seat and placed his hand on her cheek, rubbing it ever so gently as he tried to press her down to the floor.

Tenebrae blushed a bit and moved as he wanted her to and said, “Father, I am not even the strongest sibling. Hell I might not even be the most ruthless.”

Shao Khan placed a finger against her mouth as he moved on top of her and said, “You need to know when to kill your own. Conquer all, make armies. You have the right stuff.” He leaned against her form and granted her a kiss. “You are like a miniature me.” He placed his hands onto her breasts and began to play with them. She just let him and enjoyed it. He pulled their pants off and began to thrust into her. She was enjoying it so much, neither of them noticed when the door opened. Smoke had finally found her but he did not expect to see this. He moved back outside and closed the door to wait.

They were at it for a few hours, Smoke checking every thirty minutes. He got to see some of the oddest things he ever thought he could see and never imagined or hoped to ever see. When they had decided their fun was over, they were laying on the floor and she was holding her father. Smoke re-entered the house and revealed himself to her. Tenebrae looked up and said, “Let me guess, you’re going to kill me now?”

Smoke thought for only a moment and decided her fate. He spread his legs apart and brought his hands up, he spoke to her, “If I win, I get to personally torture your father and I will get to kill you if you ever return.”

“If I win,” Tenebrae released her father and stood up, “Then I will stay here for a while and once you fail, your soul will belong to me.” She smirked and spread her feet apart and allowed her hands to take dragon formation for her style.

“That’d be breaking a law,” Smoke pointed out and stayed in stance awaiting a strike.

Tenebrae chuckled and said, “Take it or leave it.”

Smoke didn’t want to and knew what this held, but a life for a life is fair. He nodded and said, “Your terms are accepted.” He puffed into smoke and came from behind her, throwing a punch for the back of her head. She pivoted on her heel and the ball of her foot as she brought her hand up and circled his hit down as she jabbed her other hand swiftly at his throat. He raised his other hand and grabbed her incoming hand, pushing against it. She was physically stronger than him and pressed her fist to the point his own knuckles nearly touched his own neck. To her, this clearly showed that he was rusty at fighting and was going to use this to her advantage. He managed to scoot out of the way of taking major damage, pulling his other hand back to prepare it as he smoked behind her again and struck out with a firm palm hit towards her back. She’d pivot and the palm would hit her chest, her grasping his arm with her one hand and using it to toss him through the wall of the building to the outside. He went through the wall but rolled and got back up onto his feet.

Tenebrae came out with a running charge and slid on the ground when close to try and take out his ankle, him managing to leap over her. She had seen him take to the air and grasped her hand out to grab his ankle, him feeling the fingers he smoked out of her hand. He appeared behind as he landed and turned, throwing a kick at her head. She rocked up and around as she got to her feet, this resulting in him kicking her knee instead of her head. She felt the hurt but it wasn’t severe enough to make her stop fighting. She took a step towards him as she brought one hand over her head and kept the other primed at her side. As she brought her hand down, Smoke moved to take a step back, as he stepped, she stepped. She brought her downward hand the whole way and jabbed her primed hand to his sternum. Bones were heard cracking as her hand hit, using the momentum of her other hand to swing it up and around then straight into a fist. Smoke stumbled back at the chest hit then was able to smoke himself further away but not before the knuckles began to hit his shoulder.

Tenebrae smirked and as she went back into stance said, “Do you give up?” Smoke said nothing as he smoked behind her and launched his palm again for her back. This time she was hit but it did not hurt severely. She pivoted and threw her fist at his head, making contact at the temple and hearing bones crack. He went down and out, her smirking as she knelt down, grabbing his hair as she spoke to the knocked out warrior, “You should have given up.” She manipulated and pulled him into his soul, a grey orb absorbing into her as she stood up. She chuckled a bit and cracked her neck a bit. She looked around at all the souls around her as she felt his soul in her body. She decided she would spend her available time in the NetherRealm attempting to master his moves. She started by attempting to transport as smoke, pulling into smoke and reforming in the same place. She laughed a bit, the sound resounding through the settlement as if a more powerful version of her father.

[Lord English]

Bell’uomo smirked at the fact she would keep a look out for information. This was something he knew was going to cost him, he was no moron. He had information to spare, useless to him but perhaps of use to another. He peeked over as the pangolin went into her lap, tilting his head a bit to try and see her eyes. He then looked at the pangolin and smirked. He took a deep breath and relaxed a bit, he had nothing else to say and he didn’t want to interrupt her if she was sleeping as the slouch suggested to him. He would stay put until his plane arrives, attempting conversation with her neat little pet. He proceeded to tilt his head up, the hip ‘sup nod’ as a form of communication to it.
