There was silence
in the dungeon. Fei-Long and Sub-Zero were trying their best to sleep, but the hard, sticky floor wouldn't allow them to fall
into a good slumber.
"Sub-Zero," Fei-Long finally said.
Sub-Zero turned to him. "Yes?"
"Do you think
Dan and Mika made it out?"
"I hope so," Sub-Zero replied. "I mean, they did get themselves lost when they went looking
for Nightwolf. The cave isn't too far from here."
"They're lost," Fei-Long concluded.
They tried to sleep again,
but they couldn't.
That's when they heard the dungeon door open. Fei-Long and Sub-Zero looked up and see four guards
standing over them.
"You two!" one guard said. "Get up! It's time for you to see Shang."
"What does he want?"
Fei-Long asked.
"Get up!" the guard said. He looked at Sub-Zero. "You think that we're just going to let you out or
something?" He pointed a sword at him.
Sub-Zero laughed. He put his hands out and froze all four guards.
"Dumb-a**es,"
Sub-Zero said. "They had no idea what I am capable of."
The two men got up and quietly walked out of their dungeon.
They looked at either side of the hall. Both sides were long and dark.
"Which way do we go?" Fei-Long asked.
Sub-Zero
pointed to the right. "I remember this is the way we went when they let us out for dinner."
They walked through the
darkness of the hall.
"At least they should put a light on," Fei-Long said.
That's when three flames were lit.
Three guards stood in front of them.
"Is that better?" one of the guards asked.
Sub-Zero and Fei-Long got into
their fighting stances as the three guards ran after them. Two guards go after Sub-Zero and one guard goes after Fei- Long.
The
guard fighting Fei-Long swung his torch at him. Fei-Long dodged them. Then, Fei-Long ducked and jumped up in the air, his
foot pointing up.
"WAAA-CCHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fei-Long cried out. His leg was ignited with flames as his hits
the guard square in the jaw. The guard flew in the air and landed hard on the ground knocking him out.
Sub-Zero was
fighting the other two guards. He threw series of kicks and punches at the guards. Fei-Long joined in and punches one of the
guards in the head knocking him out. Sub-Zero fought the remaining guard. Sub-Zero jumped in the air and performs a roundhouse
kick at the guard's head. The guard fell to the ground and became unconscious.
"No freezing them?" Fei-Long asked.
Sub-Zero
smirked. "Nah, I wouldn't be called a warrior if I did the same move over and over. That would be cheap as well."
"Right,"
Fei-Long replied. "Let's try to get out of here."
Sub-Zero nodded. He picked up a lit torch and the two warriors made
their way down the hall.
When they got to the end of the hall, they saw three doors in front of them. Two of them were
to the side and one was right in front of them.
"It's time to play, Pick-And-Chose," Fei-Long said sarcastically. "Will
it be door number one, door number two, or door number three?"
Sub-Zero looked at each door. With the middle door,
Sub-Zero could sense something disturbing.
"Fei-Long," Sub-Zero said. "I have a gut feeling about the middle door."
"An
escape route?" Fei-Long asked.
"No.........something else."
Sub-Zero went up to the middle door and opened
it up. A white light hit their eyes making them shield them with their arms.
"Shall we?" Sub-Zero asked.
Fei-Long
nodded.
The warriors walked into the room. They opened their eyes. They found themselves in a big balcony with no guards.
The room was huge, the ceiling having to be about 200 feet high. The ceiling looked like it was making a round dome. At the
bottom, it looked like a big fighting ring, the floor looking like a compass. What was more noticeable about the big room
disturbed Sub-Zero and Fei-Long; there was a machine, which shot up a very tall green energy. They could see faces on the
energy........faces of those whose souls have been taken by Shang.
"This must be where the souls are stored," Sub-Zero
concluded. "I wonder how you free them." He started walking towards the stairs, which were on either side of the balcony.
"Sub-Zero,
what are you doing?" Fei-Long called out. "We've got to get out of here!"
Sub-Zero narrowed his eyes at Fei-Long. "My
friend, I've come to this tournament for one reason, and one reason only. I came here to kill Shang and free my brother. He
is responsible for killing my brother and taking his soul. Along with everyone else, my brother will be free."
As he
talked, Sub-Zero noticed a tall shadow approaching behind Fei-Long. Sub-Zero stared at the figure. The figure looked as if
he was slowly approaching Fei-Long and getting ready to attack.
Fei-Long noticed the disturbing look on Sub-Zero's
face. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Sub-Zero clenched his teeth and got into a fighting stance. "Behind you!"
Fei-Long
quickly turned around. The figure performed a roundhouse kick. Fei- Long blocked the move, and then performed a few backward
flips towards Sub- Zero. Then he got into a fighting stance.
The figure stepped into the light, revealing who this
person was.
Sub-Zero and Fei-Long lowered their guards a little bit and their eyes became wide. Their hearts overcame
with fear just a little bit.
"Shang Tsung," Sub-Zero said.
Shang looked at the warriors and laughed. "You think
that you can escape here, do you?"
"If Dan and Mika can, so will we!" cried Fei-Long.
"Oh," Shang said. "So
they've escaped. Well, I was at the tournament when they escaped, so they were lucky," he got into a fighting stance. "But
you two aren't so lucky. I guarantee the two you that you will not make it out of here alive. You will fight me and die, and
you will be joining your friends," he looked at Sub-Zero. "And your brother."
The two good fighters raised their guards.
Sub-Zero became full of rage just thinking about what he did to his brother. Sub-Zero would never forget how Shang took his
brother by the neck and breaking it. He could hear the breaking of the bone play in his head.
"You'll pay!" Sub-Zero
cried out. He leapt towards him with Fei-Long running behind him. Shang jumped out of the way. Fei-Long ran up to him and
started throwing series of kung-fu punches at him. Shang blocked them all. Then he jumped back and shape-shifted into Sagat.
"You're
kidding me, right?" Fei-Long asked.
"Tiger!" Shang cried out. A ball of energy came out of his hands and hit Fei-Long
on his side. Fei-Long jumped back and growled in pain. Then, Shang jumped towards him, his knee pointing towards him. The
knee hit him in the gut. Fei-Long spitted out some blood and groaned in pain.
Sub-Zero ran towards Shang. Shang shape-shifted
into Reptile. He threw another series of punches at Shang. Then, he spitted a glob of acid at Sub- Zero. Sub-Zero dodged out
of the way.
As Fei-Long ran after him, Shang then shape-shifted into Jade and started darting his staff at Fei-Long.
Fei-Long dodged them. Then, one jab hit Fei-Long in the chest causing him to pull back to catch his breath.
Sub-Zero went
after Shang again. Shang saw this and shape-shifted into Johnny. He put his foot outward. He slid towards Sub-Zero with green
shadows following him. Sub-Zero dodged out of the way from the moves and performed a kick at his back. Shang turned around
and kicked Sub-Zero in the gut. Sub-Zero pulled back.
Fei-Long recovered from his last blow and went after him
again. Shang shape- shifted into Vega.
"Crap!" Fei-Long cried out seeing the long claws.
Shang aimed his claws
at Fei-Long. Fei-Long dodged out of the way. The claw managed to scratch Fei-Long's upper arm.
Sub-Zero came from behind
and kicked Shang in the hand knocking the claws off. Shang turned around and shape-shifted into Rayden. Shang put his hands
out. As Sub-Zero ran towards him, he suddenly found his feet frozen in place.
"What the....." Sub-Zero said as his
whole body became paralyzed. What's happening to me?
Shang then shape-shifted into Baraka. He pulled out his
long claw.
No!
Fei-Long looked up and saw Shang walking up to Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero? he thought.
He watched in horror as Shang took the claw, looked at Sub-Zero's eyes, and quickly stabbed him right through the stomach.
Fei-Long gasped.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
