body div#devskin0 hr { }
We finally meet.
I walked over to the front of the building that was facing the street. I could hear the sounds of kombat coming from the rooftop and it sounded as if Mileena was fighting with Kotal. "Hoteh mah-YAH sha-leh!"
I then heard Mileena scream, when all of a sudden, she came flying off the roof. I quickly triggered my amulet and slowed her decent while she was falling. I put my arms out and caught her as she slowly fell into my arms. I turned to look into her big yellow eyes and as I smiled at her,
"Hello, Mileena."
"What! So, you are real!" I gently let Mileena down. She quickly took a few steps back and performed a slow back flip.
"Well now, isn't this a nice surprise. We finally meet, you'd I. Why is it I do not know your name?"
"You interrupted me before I could say it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, I believe your exact words were, no matter, you will be dead soon enough..."
Mileena laughed a bit "Oh yes, I remember now."
Mileena then took a quick glance at my amulet. "Your talisman, why is it glowing with the light of my favorite color?"
"I really cannot explain why or how it is happening. This amulet has never acted in this manner, nevertheless, it only seems to happen when you are around. As strange as this might sound, I have always thought purple is an amazing color."
"Oh, you think so too?"
"Yes, I do. Purple represents extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity."
Mileena interrupted and finished what I was about to say. "Grandeur, Peace, Pride, and Mystery..." We both stood there gazing at each other for a few seconds.
"I guess it can be said our dream was a bit of a mystery."
"Yes, it was."
"Your bracers, they have an interesting look and that green hell fire around your hands. What manner of necromancy is that?"
I lifted my hands to observe them.
"Plasma. It is actually plasma. Some old scientist analyzed it and explained exactly what it was."
"What is, plasma?"
"Plasma is ionized gas." I pointed at my bracers and lifted up my hands so Mileena could have a better look. "Defensive tools bestowed upon me by The Archon of Hell. It is a long story, but if you are interested I would like to share it with you someday."
"Okay." Mileena looked at me with amazement.
"If you do not mind me saying, your appearance, is, quite different from what I remember."
"Oh, what? You were expecting something a little more, revealing, perhaps?" As she spoke those words, Mileena moved her eyebrows up and down while she slowly ran her hands up the sides of her sexy curvy body.
"Yes, I was."
"Oh, then maybe next time, I shall make that dream come true."
"That would be nice." We both had a good laugh, however, not to say Mileena did not look good. She still had her shiny jet black shoulder length hair, purple eye shadow, her mesmerizing yellow eyes, and a purple assassin's mask. She also wore a purple corset type leather vest that lifted up her bust, nevertheless, it did not cover her entire upper body as her navel was exposed. She also wore black leather pants that hugged her hour glass figure hips and thighs along with a metal chain belt with a buckle that looked to be the face of a gargoyle, and to round it off, black boots with metal heels.
"Why do you keep looking at me that way?"
"My apologies Mileena, but, you are even more beautiful in person."
"What? Can you gaze upon my face and still say, I am beautiful?" She pulled off her mask with her right hand. This quick gesture exposed her face and Tarkatan teeth, nonetheless, she still had that luscious set of Edenian lips that were covered and colored with purple lipstick.
"Forgive me Mileena, but."
Mileena heard the word "but" and was about to become in raged. Mileena's inner monologue "If he even dares say it, like others before him, I will kill him where he stands!" Mileena allowed David to finish what he was about to say.
"Your beauty is as lovely as the birth of an interstellar star. You, are a sight to behold, Mileena."
Mileena's expression on her face was of great surprise and almost disbelief. Her eyes were looking toward the right and her lower jaw dropped a bit. However, she felt something she has never felt before. Her rage subsided, she felt a lump in her throat, her heart fluttered, and a feeling in her gut, the feeling of butter files. "I... I don't know what to say..." Mileena, sounding confused and yelling in rage filled tone, "Don't you lie to me?"
"I do not lie, Mileena. You are beautiful inside and out."
Her voice cracked a bit, "You, you really feel and see that I am beautiful?"
"Yes, I do. Ever since our dream. I cannot explain it. I cannot stop thinking about you."
Mileena was confused and did not know what to say or think. Mileena's inner monologue, "No man has ever said to me that I am beautiful and his poetic quote is echoing through my mind. He tells me I am as beautiful as the birth of a interstellar star. Just how does he know what that would look like? Why does he find me, BEAUTIFUL? How is this possible?"
"Oh, okay..." Mileena sighed a bit while she put her mask back on, when,
"Mileena..."
"Tanya!" Mileena turned around to see Tanya injured, but alive. Mileena and I walked over to her to see if she was ok. Mileena kneeled in front of Tanya. "Tanya my best friend. Look what Kotal did to you."
"I live to serve my Empress..." Tanya said with a halfhearted smile. "Remember I swore an oath to protect you..."
Mileena could feel her blood about to boil after seeing the condition that Kotal left Tanya in,
"That bastard, I will rend his hide!" I turned to take a quick glance of the battle between Kotal's soldiers and the rebel Tarakatan army. Unfortunately, for the rebels, more of Kotal's forces were alerted and came to assist in clearing out the rest of the Tarakatans. "Mileena?"
Mileena turned to look up at me, "What is it!"
"You should start thinking about a way to escape. Your forces are being decimated." Mileena stood up and looked around.
"Shit!" Mileena looked at me, "Okay, assist me in moving Tanya. We cannot leave her behind."
"Understood Mileena." Tanya stood up and almost fell over. Both Mileena and I put our hands out to help keep her balance.
"My Empress, go. I will hasten your escape."
"Absolutely not, I am not leaving you behind Tanya."
"But, my Empress!"
"NO! That's a command from your friend and Empress!" Tanya looked at Mileena then at me.
"Hey, I'm not arguing with her." I said smiling. Tanya looked at me and smiled back.
"You are not from around here, are you?" Tanya asked.
"No, I'm not, but, I will explain later, perhaps over a round of Tarkatan Ale." "Oh, Tarkatan Ale, my favorite." Said Mileena."
"Okay, sounds good, so, who's buying?" Tanya uttered. All three of us just sort of stopped and stared at each other after Tanya's statement.
"I will buy the ladies a drink"
"Oh, a nobleman are we." Mileena said.
"Funny, never had a man pay me a drink before" Tanya uttered.
Ermac and Jade
Jade had gained the upper hand over Ermac.
"We cannot understand? Your strength, speed, and endurance is matched by our own."
"I will only say this to you, Demon. I learned a few things in death."
"Even we must admit. We are bewilder by your new found power, nevertheless, we will defeat you." Ermac picked up a huge wooded crate and tossed it at Jade, as she performed a spin maneuver she struck the crate with enough force to smash it into hundreds of pieces. Ermac, then took noticed of all the dead Tarkatans that were strewn about. Using his telekinesis, he began to rip out their bloody blades from their arms as skin, muscle, and tissue was being pulled apart. He then launched an all-out assault by shooting the blades toward Jade. Jade began to move, duck, and dodge the blades as Ermac fired a volley of metal missiles. One, Two, Three, Four, Fire. They all missed, hitting the ground and various other objects in their vicinity. However, the sixth caught Jade by surprise, because, as the blade flew past her it sliced her skin at her hip. "AHHHH!" Jade screamed in pain and was pushed to the floor as the force of the blade knocked her back.
"So, you can bleed. We will kill you, know!" As Jade was on the ground Ermac approached and grab her by the leotard laces. He then lifted her up and was about to finish her when he heard a scream coming from D'vorah.
"We sense our mistress is in distress!" He dropped Jade and left her on the ground as Ermac, in a hurry, levitated back toward D'vorah's location. Jade a little injured, but nothing serious, stood up and made her way back to David and Mileena's location.
D'vorah and Baraka
"You betrayed the true ruler of Outworld, the Empress Mileena!" D'vorah, injured was on the ground. She was using three of her ovipositors to crawl backwards away from Baraka.
"This one, was tired of an existence as her servant. The hive, also, does not understand your logic. Why do you continue to serve Mileena?"
"Shao Kahn conquered my realm. I owe him my loyalty; I honor his will, I honor his family."
"There is no honor living as a slave."
"I am no slave nor are my people. We are sick and tired of living underground and having to hide ourselves."
"This one thinks you and your people are not worthy to live amongst the common inhabits."
"You speak as if you are commoner, D'vorah. That very notion is laughable given the fact you are a creepy-crawly insect. Now, enough talk, you will suffer a fate worse than death, D'vorah." Baraka extending his blades out of his arms was ready to finish her.
"You shall not bring harm to our mistress!" Baraka found himself immobile and not able to move. Ermac had him in a telekinesis hold.
"What! Ermac! You fool! If you had any honor you would have continued to serve the Empress!"
"We no longer serve the Empress's will! We serve Emperor Kotal Kahn."
"Then you are nothing more than a slave, Ermac."
"We have grown tired of your bullshit, Baraka! Be gone!" Ermac then lifted Baraka into the air and with a quick thrust of his hand he threw him out of the city and over the horizon.
Afterwards, Ermac slowly placed his boots on the ground. He walked over to D'vorah's ovipositor that Baraka had sliced off. He picked it up and walked over to D'vorah and kneeled before her.
"Or apologies, we were not quick enough. Is our mistress, okay?"
"This one is fine Ermac. The hive is most grateful you came to ensure this one's safety." Ermac, gazing into D'vorah's insect compound eyes presented her with her shared ovipositor. D'vorah looked at it then looked into Ermac's green glowing eyes. She placed her right hand on his face.
"The hive thanks you Ermac. With time, this one can regenerate."
"We understand, mistress." Ermac lifted D'vorah up off the ground, and like a groom with his new bride, carried her in his arms.
"Come D'vorah, our emperor needs us!"
Reunification
"I can walk" stated Tanya.
"Are you sure."
"Yes."
"Can you run?"
"I think so."
"Rain, he is still up on the roof with Kotal." We could hear Rain and Kotal participating in kombat with one another. Afterwards, Jade had arrived at our location.
"David, is Mileena ok?"
"Oh yes, she's fine." Jade chuckled after sensing the double innuendo in my statement. "Mileena." Jade said softly.
Mileena could not believe what she was seeing. "Jade, how can this be, no, you, you are dead."
"Mileena, my sister. I have missed you so much." Jade walked over toward Mileena with open arms. Mileena confused and bewilder began taking steps back.
"How is this possible? What manner of sorcery is this? I was there the day our revenant mother, Sindel, murdered you in cold blood."
"It's okay Mileena, don't be afraid."
Mileena turned to look at David, "What have you done, is this some sort of a trick?"
"I could not believe it myself at first, rest assured Mileena, this is no trick."
"Mileena, it is really me. I have missed you so much. Please, believe this is me." Mileena, becoming defensive pulled her Sai's and prepared to defend herself if necessary. "If you are really my sister, then tell me, whisper to me only something me and my sister Jade would share with each other! Only something we would know!"
Jade walked cautiously toward Mileena and placed her hands over Mileena's ear and whisper, then Mileena whisper something back, then Jade. Mileena dropping both of her Sais put her hands over her mouth as a small tear ran down the side if her cheek then over one of her Tarkatan fangs. Jade looked at Mileena and smiled, "It really is me, my sister."
"Jade, it is you!" Both Mileena and Jade hugged each other. "I missed you so much Jade..." Me too, Mileena..."
"How?" "It is a long story and I will explain later."
Mileena, looking at both Jade and I. "You both have a lot of explaining to do."
"We will, meanwhile, we have to get you out of here. It is not safe for you."
"What do you mean?"
"We cannot allow you to be captured we have to keep you safe."
"Jade, you are sounding as if the apocalypse is near."
"In a manner of speaking, yes, it is." Mileena looked at Jade.
"I have for seen things that have not yet come to pass and if you die Mileena, I am afraid all is lost."
"But why? I cannot be so important, you would think someone like Sub Zero, our sister Kitana, hell even Liu Kang would hold more relevance than I ever could. I am only looking to restore our home."
"You are doing a very noble thing Mileena and I will stand behind you all the way, but, for now we have to insure your safety. Do you still have Shinnok's Amulet?"
"Yes I do."
"We have to return it to Lord Raiden for safe keeping."
"The thunder god? But why?"
"It is slowly killing you Mileena."
"What, How?"
"Your body cannot handle it's power Mileena."
Mileena looked down at Jade's hip, "You're bleeding."
"Yes, I am, however I'm okay."
Tanya walked up and stood right next to me, "Do you have any clue what they are talking about, David?" Tanya said my name loud enough so that Mileena could hear.
"I have no idea Tanya?" Mileena then turned and looked at me, "What, you have the forbidden name?"
"Excuse me?"
"Your name is forbidden here in Outworld."
"Okay?"
"David, I must say, it is a nice name." Mileena and I both looked at each other with wonderment.
"Mileena is a nice name too."
"AAHHHHH!" Rain came flying off the roof and landed a few feet away from where we were all standing.
"Rain!" Mileena yelled. She ran over to him as he was trying to pick himself up off the ground.
"My empress. I have, failed you... My apologies, please forgive me as I no longer deserve to live..."
"Nonsense rain. Come on, get up!"
Thud! Kotal Kahn jumped off the roof and landed a few feet away. "There you are Mileena." Kotal took a few steps toward Mileena, as I stepped in between them.
Mileena's inner monologue. "He stands between me and Kotal. Brave, but foolish. On second thought, why does he feel he needs to protect me?"
"Who is the Earth Realmer, Mileena?" Rain asked as he was getting back on his feet. "We will explain later Rain."
"Who are you? Wait a second. You are the Earth Realm man D'vorah spoke of." I could sense that Kotal, with his red glowing eyes, was looking directly into my soul.
"How interesting, I can see your ancestors were brought up on the stone streets of the ancient Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. You should be honored that the blood that flows through your veins is descended from some of the greatest noble Earth Realm Aztec warriors."
"Warrior? I am no such thing, nor do I really know much of or anything about my lineage."
"You should learn to embrace and not deny your heritage!"
"Unfortunately for me Kotal Kahn, my Earth Realm was all but destroyed by power hungry fools like you."
"Fool! You dare call me a fool when you are the one aiding the Outworld rebels. Strange still, there is something about your."
Before Kotal could finish, Ermac arrived with D'vorah and finished what Kotal was about to say.
"His soul is not of this dimension." Ermac landed on the ground with D'vorah in his arms. He then let her down gently.
"Thank you Ermac, this one is great full for your service."
Afterwards, Erron Black came running up and was looking right at me. "Hey jackass, what in the hell did you do to me?" Next, we found ourselves to be surrounded by some of Kotal's soldiers.
"What next," I said.
"SSSssssss!" There was a hissing noise along with the sound of what could be describe as a rattle snake rattling its tail as an unknown cloaked humanoid silhouette came walking up, stopped, and stood next to Kotal.
The figure then uncloaked "My Emperor, I was alerted to the rebel's siege of the city. I have come with, reinforcements."
"Good work Reptile. Your Emperor is most pleased."
Reptile looked like something out of a horror movie, because, his skin was green and scaly. He wore a mask that looked to be shaped like a beak along with a maw full of razor sharp teeth, along with green vile dripping from his mouth. He also had green eyes with vertical slanted pupils and like a rattle snake, a tail that had a rattle on the tip. He also dawned sharp curved spikes that ran up his upper body as he had three small spikes on his forearms, three on his upper arm with the third being the longest, and two small ones on each of his shoulders. He wore no armor, only a pair of black cloth pants and black boots. Reptile stood there for a few seconds staring at me like he wanted to eat my head.
"You smell bad." Reptile said to me.
"Excuse me?"
"You have the stench of a hundred different worlds upon you. You reek of death and destruction!"
Kotal looked at Reptile, "Kill him."
"With pleasure, anything to rid Outworld of his putrid smell!" Reptile extended his tongue and like a whip, lashed it right at me.
It wrapped around my neck and throat as I could feel it starting to squeeze the life out of me. I continued to struggle to loosen his tongue with my hands as my throat began to choke.
"No!" Mileena yelled as she tried to intervene while Jade and Rain stepped in front of her.
"No my Empress, it is too dangerous."
"He'll be okay Mileena. David can handle himself." Mileena looked on in distress as she watched David being strangled to death. D'vorah, stood by and stared with a sadistic smile on her face while Kotal, started to laugh, while Ermac, and Erron Black watched. I had to do something quick. I wrapped my hands on Reptile's tongue as I turned up the heat on my Archon plasma. The plasma began to burn through his tongue while Reptile started to scream in pain. His tongue then released my neck as I pulled it with both hands and let go as the elasticity flung back hitting Reptile on his face. The force of the hit almost knocked him to the ground while his burning tongue, almost looking like a dragon's, caused smoke to rise out of his mouth.
"AHHHH! You will pay for that you, son of a bitch!"
"Bring it on asshole." It all seemed to happen so quickly, as I rushed toward Reptile to meet him in Kombat,
David and Reptile
I rush toward Reptile with a hard right roundhouse that he ducks under and a right hook he dodges with ease. Reptile throws a high right kick I block with my left bracer as he throws a left high kick I block with my right bracer. Reptile jumps back a few feet as he removes his mask and shoots a stream of corrosive toxic spit that I quickly sweep and dodge to the right as the spit melts through a stone wall a few feet away.
"When I was young the people in my realm would tell legends and myths about an underground race of humanoid reptilian beast."
"As you can see human... I am no mere myth or legend... I am real!"
"I guess the stories were true."
"I cannot stand the smell you brought with you."
"What smell might that be?"
"The smell of rotting recombinant flesh! After I kill you I will burn your body!"
"Don't even try."
I charged straight into Kombat with Reptile again.
Rain went after Erron Black,
Rain throws a left hook to which Erron Black ducks under it. Rain throws a right jab as Erron Black catches Rain's fist in his left hand, Erron Black throws a right jab as Rain catches Erron's fist in his left hand. Erron then gives two left kicks that both hit Rain in his gut.
"You rebels sure are a pathetic bunch. All of you should just, give up."
"I would not expected a fool who sells himself out to the highest bidder to understand one's fight to regain one's home, Buluc.
Rain head butt's Erron and as they let go of each other's fists as Erron stumbles back a few steps.
"Just what are your intentions, insurgent?"
"My intentions... are to teach you the difference between loyalty and disgrace."
Tanya went after D'vorah,
Tanya using her Kobu Jutsu's, blocks everyone one of D'vorah's throws from her upper ovipositors as sparks are produce by the meeting of metal and black widow fang. Tanya takes noticed as D'vorah raises both upper ovipositors and preforms an overhead thrust, as Tanya swiftly jumps back a few feet as the black widow fangs penetrate deep into the stone street. "Crack!" D'vorah pulls her ovipositors out of the ground and looks at Tanya with anger and hatred.
"Gives us the former Empress Mileena! The Hive demands it!"
"You will never touch Our Empress!"
"Then so be it. This one will destroy you all!"
"We will never let you prevail, Bug Bitch!"
Jade went after Ermac
Jade rushes in with her Bo in hand. She starts off with a combo as she holds the Bo horizontal. She hits Ermac on the face, one, two, three, then on the ribs, one, two, three, and spins for the final hit to Ermac's head bashing him to the ground. Ermac recovers.
"How does it feel to be beat by one, Ermac?"
"You will never defeat us. For we are many, but you are one."
"One soul and one conscious is all I need, Demon!"
"Then come and face us in Kombat, you BITCH!"
"Way ahead of you, ASSHOLE!"
Mileena and Kotal!
Leaving just Kotal and Mileena to face one another.
"I should kill you where you stand, Mileena."
"You will do no such thing." Mileena walked closer to Kotal. "I want my Kingdom back! I want our home returned to us Kotal!"
"Outworld no longer belongs to you or your so called rebels!"
"Yes! It does and as the heir to my father, Shao Kahn, I, Mileena, Kahnum of Outworld... order your execution!"
"Shao Kahn was not your father you ignorant fool!"
"Bullshit! Asshole! I am the real Kahnum of Outworld!"
Final Round! Fight!
Mileena starts out with a teleport kick to Kotal's head as Kotal stumbles back a few steps Mileena rolls into a ball and rolls knocking Kotal off of his feet. Kotal still in the air as Mileena performs a right high kick as the heel of her boot punctures deep into Kotal's skin she brings him down slamming him into the stone street. Kotal gets up dazed as he attempts to throw a right hook, Mileena kneels in front of Kotal as his fist flies over her head. She quickly pulls her Sais from her back and performs her Slice and Dice Sai combo. One, Two, Three, Four as Kotal's blood pours out all over the street, Five, Six, before Mileena stabs Kotal the Seventh time she looks him straight in the eyes and shoves the Sai in her right hand right into his gut and straight through to his back. She holds the Sai there for a few moments as she slowly and painfully pulls it out pulling Kotal's intestines with it. 9 Hit Combo Connected 50% Damage. Mileena jumps back as Kotal recovers. Kotal rushes toward Mileena as he does Mileena teleport kicks Kotal in the head once more as she jumps up and spreads her legs she performs an overhead thrust with her Sais and stabs Kotal in the head. Kotal in daze, X Ray Combo, Mileena takes both Sais as she stabs Kotal in the ears as Kotal screams in pain, she then opens her mouth wide and with her Tarkatan teeth bites into Kotal's face shattering his skull in the process. Mileena screams in rage as she pulls back, as once more, with her Sais, stabs Kotal through his eye sockets as his blood pours out of his head and runs down Mileena's Sais and arms. She then jumps and holds herself onto Kotal she takes her Sai in her right hand and stabs Kotal multiple times in his chest. One, Two, Three, as the fourth time goes into his lung. 8 Hit Combo Connected 50%. Kotal falls to the ground after having his ass handed to him.
Mileena Wins!
"Delicious," Mileena says as she strikes a sexy pose and taking one of her Sais as she licks Kotal's red blood from it."
"I am going to have the satisfaction of killing you myself Kotal!"
Kotal painfully gets up as he tries to return to the fray. Mileena starts to walk toward Kotal with a Sai in each hand. While, from across the lot Erron Black sees Mileena about to kill the Emperor. Quickly, Erron kicks Rain back into a crate as he pulls both colts from their holster he quickly takes aim and fires two rounds that hit both of Mileena's Sais out of her hands.
"What the Hell!" Mileena yelled.
I looked over at Erron as he took aim at Mileena I quickly kicked Reptile off of me as I charged toward Erron knocking him off balance. He fired off both rounds as one went wide and hit a wall the other went into the stone street.
"You will atone for your dissent, Mileena. Your blood will make right."
Mileena was surrounded by Kotal, D'vorah, Ermac, Reptile, and Erron and his soldiers as Jade, Rain, Tanya, and I rushed back to Mileena in order to protect her.
"Up the stair path... To the fire's edge..."
Kotal gathers up fire energy as he fires it toward Mileena she in return pulls Shinnok's Amulet and fires energy back. I on the other hand jump right in the middle of both streams as I block both energy waves with the Archon Bracers. Immediately, I could feel the energy from both as the Archon Bracers began to glow with heat from both streams. Then a shock wave was produce as everyone was knock back.
"I have an idea. Everyone, get behind me!"
"What, Why?" Mileena yelled.
"Just do it, NOW!"
Mileena, Rain, Tanya, and Jade stood behind me.
"Archon Barrier!" A huge dome barrier appeared over the rebel group. Mileena looked at me and hit the barrier with her fist.
"David! What are you doing?" I looked up and smiled at her.
"He is a brave one, but foolish." Rain said.
"He will be okay... Mileena."
"How could you possibly know that...? Jade."
"Perhaps... we should trust him." Said Tanya.
Kotal's group began to close in on me.
"So, you put up a barrier to protect the rebels. We shall execute you in front of your friends."
"Don't be so sure of yourself... Kotal!"
I started to gather up all the energy I absorbed from both streams as a black and white aurora appeared around me. The energy began to grow as I recited a quote I had heard years before.
"Time... Is only a concept... We give... Meaning to!"
I kneeled down and slammed my right fist onto the ground, so hard in fact I left a small impact crater. Afterwards, a huge stream of energy was released as all time was stopped everywhere. Kotal and his group were all frozen as well as his army. I turned around and released the Archon Barrier from Mileena and her group. I then collapsed as I fell to my knees and fell to the ground.
"David!" Mileena kneeled to turn me over.
I opened my eyes slowly.
"Hey there... Beautiful..."
Mileena looked at me with surprise as she put her right hand on my face. "Are you okay?"
"I think so."
"Incredible!" Rain said.
"David, what did you do?" Jade asked.
"Oh... My..." Tanya uttered.
"I stopped all time within the Outworld." Rain helped pick me up off the ground as I was too weak to stand.
"Strange?"
"What?" Rain said as he looked at me.
"I was not sure that would even work."
Rain nodded. "Well it did and you bought us more time."
"We must hurry. It will not last very long. We have to escape the city."
Mileena looked at all of us.
"How long will this last?"
"For us 30 minutes maybe an hour tops."
"Follow me, I know where we can go." Jade said.
"Where are you taking us?" asked Mileena
"Come on sister, I will show you."
"My Empress, I would advise it is time to go." Said Rain.
"Agreed!"
"If it is not to much to ask, can we stop by Jade's house? I need to pick up my trench coat."
"Sure David." Jade said.
After I picked up my coat, we all followed Jade out of the city as everyone and everything was stopped, in time, it sort of gave the group a creepy feeling. We walked out of the city and moved with haste.

No problem, I will upload chapter five maybe tomorrow. Chapter five and six are not completed as of yet, however, I might complete chapter five soon. Thank you for taking the time to read it. On a side note, Easement had an edited version, however, I cannot remember where it is... Tell me, what did you like about this chapter? So far, besides chapter six, this chapter four is my favorite. I tried to make it as action oriented as possible.
I also tried to make a small romance for Mileena.

At first i was really confused about the story, cause i always thought "wait that can't be possible cause x happened". But then i realized more and more that in parallel dimensions and altered timelines it could have played out this way. I think a lot of people like the action oriented approach, speaking for myself - i like the calmer scenes with character development more. It's like we get the fighting all the time ingame and the relationships, lore and character development falls flat. That's why i like the calmer scenes more.
As a suggestion: When there is a full on fight going on, it kind of feels a little off for the characters to have in depth conversations or romancing Felt that way 2 or 3 times while reading.
Overall i really like your approach . Giving the characters room to develop their relationship towards each other and also that you take the time to characterize them more in depth than the game does, is a great way of adding value to the MK universe
.

First and foremost, let me start out by saying thank you so much for reading my story. It means a lot to me. Second, It is astounding that you understand the premise of where I was taking my story. The whole parallel dimension is a part of my "what if" scenario. What if an interdimensional traveler, who by the way, who is in possession and in the amidst of a outer dimensional being known as The Archon of Hell, which by the way is a whole struggle and story all of it's own. As for the romancing, between David and Mileena, for example, I was aiming for a sort of surreal approach. Almost as if they are both asking themselves, is this really happening? Mileena would be asking herself, "How can a human man find me to be beautiful?" David would be asking himself, "Why do I find myself falling for the lovey empress Mileena?" As far Ermac and Dvorah, their relationship is more of the platonic nature. They are both a unique set within the Outworld. They are one of a kind and find companionship from one another. As for the character development I wanted to show that in this dimension, Kitana, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao never became revenants, Jonny and Sonya are still married, happily I might add. Cassie Cage was raised and trained along side Raiden, Kitana, Liu Kang and Kung Lao. Which is why she referred to all three as uncles and Kitana as her Aunt during the events of chapter three. I also decided to add two new Goddess into the mix and one by the way took to a liking of Kung Lao because he is the descendant of the Great Kung Lao. Nonetheless, like you stated I wanted to develop the characters, because there was something lacking within the story. I do not believe Mileena is a monster, because she does have Kitana's blood so she must have a heart and soul. David is looking for something that might not exist in any other dimension, but, he might just find in Mileena. I am really happy you enjoy my story. Thank you so much. I will try an post chapter 5 tomorrow if not on Sunday. What did you think of the other chapters?

The other chapters are also very thought out and well developed. But i have to admit, they get better and better . I really like the small details you added in them, for example Jade split into her elements when testing David.
Can't wait for the next chapter Take your time in writing it, it's like with games: better to wait a little longer, to get the best experience

One of the other small things I added was the Tarktan Ale. LOL Yes, The Tarktans in this dimension brew a great beer. LOL It happens to be Mileena, Tanya, and Rain's favorite Ale. LOL Erron Black is also a whiskey distiller and owns a western style saloon in Outworld. LOL I believe adding this kind of depth to the characters opens up a whole new world to Mortal Kombat.
