Three days
have passed since Cyrax went through the portal to Outworld. Twice a day, he would contact Special Forces to let them know
what's going on. At the moment, nothing was found yet in Outworld.
Sonya sat in her office going though some paperwork.
Some of it was about the OIA, some it was other cases including Kano. She hasn't seen him since the robbery two weeks ago
at the local bank.
'I wonder if I could try to find Kano again,' Sonya thought.
She reached her hand
to her head and grabbed a lock of her blond hair. The lock was shorter than the rest of her hair. She thought about that one
gruesome night that occurred a few years ago..........
(Flashback)
The dark clouds covered the sky and the rain
fell hard on the tall buildings. On top of a fifty-story building stood two people. Both were bleeding from the battle that
was still going on.
"It's over Kano! You and I both know that it's over!"
Kano spitted blood out of his mouth.
"Sonya," he said in his Australian accent. "It's not over.........until you're dead!"
He ran over to Sonya and threw
a punch at her. She blocked the move and attempted to slug him. Kano blocked the move and then got down and performed a sweep-kick
knocking Sonya off of her feet.
Sonya laid there feeling weak from the bloody battle. 'I don't think I'll make
it,' she thought. She closed her eyes as she began to lose hope.
Kano reached to his side and took out his butterfly
knife. "It ends here, Sonya. I win. You lose."
Sonya quickly shook her head. 'NO! I can't lose! He killed Agent
Sparky, my partner! I can't let him get away with it!'
Just before Kano raised his knife, Sonya quickly got to
her feet. Using all of her strength, she kicked Kano right in the stomach. Kano stumbled back and reached his hand out. He
only managed to grab a lock of Sonya's blond hair and pulled it right out from her scalp. Then, he stumbled off of the edge
of the building and began to plummet to his death.
Sonya ignored the sharp pain in her head as she ran over to the
edge and watched Kano fall fifty stories. Then, she could hear his bones breaking as he landed hard on the pavement below.
For a minute, Sonya stared at him and he didn't move.
She reached over to her walkie-talkie and turned it on. "This
is Agent Sonya Blade. The member of the Black Dragon, Kano, is dead."
(End of Flashback)
Sonya sighed. It was
later that she found out that Kano was alive. Apparently, he was resurrected in Outworld.
'I'll get you one day,
you Bastard,' she thought. 'And I'm going to make sure that your next death is permanent!'

A
day of exercise, training, and paperwork drained Alex's energy right out of her for the day. It was seven o'clock when she
entered her room and collapsed on to her bed. She reached over to her CD remote and turned it on.
She laid her head
against her pillow and closed her eyes. She let herself listen to the words of the music playing;
Silence is golden.
But
I think it's gonna kill me now.
Everything I've seen.
Never seems to fill me now.
No one told me that the world
Could
fall through.
Ya.
In between this.
Am I gonna find a way.
To defeat this.
Living inside yesterday.
I'm alive,
but I think it's time to live.
Like I am.
Am I ever gonna find
Am I ever gonna find
Am I ever gonna find out.
Patience
can wait for now.
I think I've waited for too long.
You always gave a choice.
And that right to be wrong.
All
my life has been
Slippin' though your hands.
~Lifehouse, "Am I Gonna Find Out."
Alex indeed enjoyed
the soft rock from the band's music. It helped her relax and to forget all of her problems.
Then, Kenshi came to her
mind. She smirked to herself as she thought about the blind swordsman.
Just before she fell into a slumber, the alarm
suddenly went off startling her. Then, the door bursted open revealing Jax.
Alex looked up at the agent. "Jax! What's
going on?"
"Get your gun," Jax said. "There's a gang terrorizing a neighborhood."
Alex got up, took her gun,
and followed Jax out the door. They went into a truck filled with other agents, including Sonya and Kenshi. The van quickly
drove off to its destination.
Ten minutes later, they reached the neighborhood. Frightened residents pointed to the
location where the gang was.
"Be careful, everyone!" Jax cried. Everyone went their separate ways. Alex looked at Kenshi
one more time before departing.
Kenshi took out his katana and ran down the streets. He could smell the metal of the
guns and followed them.
A few minutes later, three members of a gang stepped in front of him. Kenshi stopped on his
tracks as he sensed their presences.
"Hey, look at this," one guy said. "What's with the blindfold?"
"Put you
guns down," Kenshi demanded. "You're under arrest."
The three men laughed. Then, one of them spoke up, "How can you
catch us? Your blind! Let's get him!"
The three of them took their guns out and pulled the triggers immediately.
Kenshi
used his senses to dodge all of the bullets coming towards him, letting them pass him like it was nothing.
The three
thugs dropped their guns in shock. Kenshi was close enough to deliver a few punches and kicks at them. All of them fell to
the ground unconscious.
"That's three down," Kenshi said.
Meanwhile, Alex looked around the alleys of the neighborhood
looking for more thugs. She kept her handgun in front of her.
She looked up at the sky. The rain started falling down
from the clouds. 'Damn it!' she thought. 'Better catch these thugs before it really pours.'
"Hey
there, foxy," she heard someone say from behind her. She growled as she quickly turned around and faced four thugs.
'Shit,'
Alex thought knowing that she was outnumbered.
"You're all under arrest!" she cried pointing her gun at them.
"Oh,
come on, sexy," one thug said. "Put that little weapon down. We don't want to hurt you. We just want to play." He walked a
little closer to her. "I guarantee that you'll have fun as well."
Alex looked at each thug carefully and she realized
that none of them have guns on them. She slipped her gun back into her belt. "Sure, I'll have some fun. I hope you like dancing."
Immediately,
she crouched low to the ground and performed a sweep-kick to the thug closer to her. He fell hard on to his side. The three
other thugs ran towards her.
Alex performed a backward flip and managed to smack one thug under his chin with her foot.
She flipped back a couple of more times. By then, the first thug she knocked down was up on his feet and chasing after her.
When
the two thugs were closer, Alex turned her body 180 degrees and elbowed the third thug in the face. She then quickly extended
her leg sending the fourth thug to the wall knocking him out. The third thug grabbed her from behind and the first thug ran
closer to her. Alex jumped up and used both of her legs to kick the thug sending him flying back. He hit a pile of garbage
pails and was knocked out as well. Then, she grabbed the thug holding her by the arms. She lifted him over her head with all
of her strength and threw him to the ground head-first, knocking him out.
"As Jax would say," Alex said grinning. "That's
what you get!"
What she didn't know was that the second of the four thugs was still up. He went up to her from behind,
grabbed her, pulled her gun out from her belt, and aimed it to her head.
Meanwhile, Kenshi, Sonya, and Jax returned
with other agents with the captured thugs.
"I believe that's all of them," said Sonya. "Are all of the agents here?"
Jax
looked around and counted. He realized after counting that he was one agent short. Jax turned back to Sonya. "We're missing
someone."
Kenshi used his senses to look for Alex. When he couldn't sense her anywhere nearby, he gasped.
"Alex!"
Sonya
quickly turned to him. "Let's go find her."
"I'll find her," Kenshi replied. "You guys take care of everything here."
"I'm
the one who usually gives out the orders," Jax said. "But are you sure you don't need our help?"
Kenshi took out his
katana and began running down the street.
"I think he's sure," Sonya replied.
Meanwhile, Alex was being held
by the thug. He pointed her own gun at her temple.
"I wouldn't move if I were you," the thug said.
Alex swallowed
hard as she felt the coldness of her gun on her right temple. 'Oh my God!' she thought with terror. 'I'm going
to die!'
"I would've spared your life," the thug continued. "But since you beat the crap out of us, I'll just
pop one into your head and end your little life."
Alex heard the gun clicking. She tightly shut her eyes and got herself
ready for her death. As she waited, Kenshi came to her mind. 'Oh God! Kenshi!'
Just a mille-second before
the thug pulled the trigger, his wrist was sliced off by a sword. Alex fell to the ground as the thug was pulled away
from her.
Alex looked up to see what was going on. She saw the thug being pinned against the wall by her savior Kenshi.
"This
is for trying to kill her!" Kenshi yelled. He gives him a hard punch in the head knocking the thug out. Then, he tossed him
in the garbage dumpster next to them and then closed the lid.
The rain began to pour down harder. Alex began to shake
not from the cold, but from the shock of almost being killed.
Kenshi could sense Alex a few feet away. He ran over
to her and bended down. "Alex, are you okay?" He wrapped his arm around her and he could feel her body shaking.
"I
think so," Alex replied. She looked up at him. "I was fighting, but that thug got my gun and.........." She suddenly found
herself trying to choke back her tears. "Kenshi! I thought I was going to die! You were the last person I thought about and
I thought I would never see you again!"
Kenshi brought Alex closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. Alex threw
her arms around him in a tight embrace.
"It's okay now," Kenshi whispered into her ear. "They won't hurt you any more.
I'm here now."
He held her close to him feeling her damp hair sticking on to his skin. He then began to wish for something
he thought he would never thought up.
'If only I knew what she looks like,' he thought. 'I think now,
I would give anything to see her.'
Alex tried her best to hold her tears back refusing to cry. Then, she could
feel her heart starting to fill with love.
'Am I.........' she thought, but before she could finish, Kenshi
pulled his head away, but kept his arms around her.
"How are you now?" he asked with concern in his voice.
"I'm
all right," Alex replied. Then, she did something she thought she would never do again since that one day in her room. She
leaned her face towards him and pressed her lips against his.
As soon as she felt her lips on his, Kenshi became shocked.
For a minute, he was still, not knowing what to do. Then, he relaxed himself and returned the kiss. He brought Alex up a little
closer to him creating a little more passion into the kiss.
Kenshi and Alex kept their kiss going despite the pouring
rain coming down hard on them. They both felt the softness of the other's lips and went into a rhythm, slowly opening and
closing their mouths.
After a while of this, they both pulled back to catch their breaths. Alex placed a hand on Kenshi's
face. "We better get back," she said. "The other agents will be wondering where we are."
"All right," Kenshi said.
"Do you want me to carry you back?"
Alex smiled. It was childish to be carried, but she couldn't resist the call, plus
she still felt a little shaken from her near encounter with death. "Sure. I don't think I can stand myself up just yet."
Kenshi
smirked as he placed his sword back into its pocket behind his back. He picked Alex up and began carrying her back to where
the other agents were. As she let her hero carry her, she let herself place her head on to his shoulder. She smirked as she
felt Kenshi lean his head on her's and pressed his lips on to her forehead.
'So,' Kenshi thought. 'This
is what the beginning of love is like...'
