Sonya Blade
made her way through the harsh wind conditions as she followed her long-time rival Kano. The winds were blowing at about what
seemed like 80 miles per hour, the sands being ripped from the ground and being taken away by the winds. Sonya ignored the
sharp, stabbing pains from the sands on her skin as she followed Kano to two pyramids standing in the middle of nowhere.
Sonya
narrowed her blue eyes at Kano, tightening her grip on her black 8mm handgun. For a decade, she has been chasing Kano down.
He was a member of the Black Dragon, an international gang known for drug smuggling and stealing of weapons from other countries.
And
now it was time to bring him down.
It was then that Sonya heard her radio go off.
"Sonya Blade, this is Alexandra
Walker, come in Sonya."
Sonya shook her head a bit. She took her radio up to her face and spoke into it. "Sonya Blade
here, is it an emergency?"
"Well," Alex answered. "I wouldn't call it an emergency, but more of a very important message."
Sonya
looked up from her radio. She saw that Kano wasn't too far from her. I'll make this quick, she thought. She spoke
into the radio again. "Report."
"You guys don't need to worry about Cyrax any more," Alex said. "He's safe back here
on Earth now."
Sonya was both shocked and happy to hear this news. How did Cyrax get back on Earth? she asked
herself. But what was more important was that he returned to Earth safely. One of her men was somehow rescued from Outworld.
Now
they had to only save Kenshi.
Sonya talked back into the radio. "Thank you for the report. I'll have to get back to
you in a little while, I got some business to take care of, it won't take long."
"Okay," Alex replied. "Alexandra Walker
signing out."
"Same." Sonya put her radio back to her waist pouch. As she closed up the pouch, she suddenly felt a
hand touch her left shoulder. She quickly whirled around to get a better look at who was behind her.
Kano!
"So,
we meet again, Sonya Blade," Kano said, a devilish smile spread across his face. "Care to dance once again? Or how about a
little hello kiss."
Sonya narrowed her eyes at the Black Dragon member. "I've been at your tail for the last decade.
I'm surprised you're even still alive. Face it Kano, you're the only Black Dragon left. It's over.....it's been over."
Kano
laughed for a few seconds before speaking again. "Oh, Sonya, you're unaware of what's going on are you? It's far from over.
The Deadly Alliance has only begun. The Dragon King's undefeatable army will all be resurrected by the souls of conquered
warriors. We will conquer Outworld and we will conquer Earthrealm. We will get every soul we could get......including that
little agent you sent out here."
Sonya eyes became wide opened. Kenshi!
She immediately raised her
gun and pointed it at Kano's face. "What did you do to him?! And how did you find out about him?"
"Oh, seems I hit
a sensitive spot there, didn't I?" Kano asked mockingly. "Well, we didn't reach him yet, but when we do, he'll be a goner.
Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi won't allow anyone to get in the way of their operation. As we speak, someone is after him right
now. Don't know who thought, but it don't matter, your little blind agent could be dead by now....."
"You keep him
out of this!"
Kano smiled more. "You know, I thought you had a thing for that Johnny Cage. Now you're in for the blind
man?"
Sonya narrowed her eyes. "No, it's far from that. I made a promise and I'm going to keep that promise, no matter
what the cause."
"How sweet," Kano said. "So what are you going to do now.....shoot me with that little toy of yours?"
Sonya
grunted a little. Sure, it would have been easy to just blow his brains out and end it right there, but she wasn't about to
take the easy way out, not after all these years. She was going to have to put up a fight, no matter how long it took.
She
placed her gun in another pouch on her waist. Then, she lifted her arms and curled her hands into fists. "No, I'm not going
down without a fight. Bring your worst."
"With pleasure," Kano replied and immediately darted after her. He only had
to run a few feet towards her before he was close enough to throw a punch at her. When he did, Sonya stepped back and let
him pass through. Sonya elbowed Kano in the back of the head. Kano only held his skull as he quickly turned back around with
a small growl.
Kano put his hand down and began throwing series of punches and kicks at the Special Forces agent. Sonya
played on defense blocking as many moves as Kano gave her. Then, she managed to find an opening and managed to slug him in
the stomach. Kano was caught by surprise and the wind was knocked out of him. Then, she followed it up with an uppercut to
his chin, causing his neck to snap back. Then she turned 180 degrees and slammed her elbow into her face, causing Kano to
rear back.
"Pathetic," Kano said. With a smirk on his face, Kano leaned his face forward. A red laser from the eye
on the metallic side of his face shot quickly at Sonya. Sonya didn't see this coming and couldn't react fast enough to get
out of the way in time. The laser pierces through her right shoulder and the pressure from it caused her to rear back. Sonya
let out a short cry as she felt the immense pain from the laser. When the laser disappeared, Kano jumped right back towards
her and threw more punches at her. Sonya only blocked the first few, but the pain in her shoulder began to distract her.
Kano
jabbed Sonya with his fingers into her eyes, temporarily blinding her. Then, he jabbed his knee into her stomach, then followed
it up with a few more punches and kicks. After a few seconds of this, he jumped up, rolled himself into a ball, and quickly
brought himself towards Sonya. He managed to knock her down to the ground.
Sonya landed hard into the sand. She could
feel the coppery taste of her own blood in her mouth. She could also feel the blood dripping down her face from her head.
How could this be? she thought with anger. He took me down so damn easily like that. I can't let him get away
with this!
Kano walked over to Sonya and grinned. "You know Sonya, why do you waste your time chasing after me?
I'm only going to get away again and you know it. Such a shame, isn't it? Luckily for you, I have business to take care of,
so I'll spare your life. You're going to die any ways once the Deadly Alliance goes in full force, so what's the perfect way
of dying than to die knowing that you've been defeated by the man you've chased after for the last decade? Farewell Sonya."
Then, Kano began walking away.
Just as he did, Sonya managed to get herself up. She wasn't about to let Kano walk away,
especially that quickly. His back was turned to her, giving her a clear shot of her next move. She ran towards him, jumped
in the air, and aimed her left foot at him. She managed to hit him in the back, causing him to feel stunned and he fell forward.
Sonya
landed back on her feet and looked down at Kano. "You should know me by now, Kano. You should know that I don't give up, especially
that easily, you coward."
Kano got himself up and narrowed her eye at her. "I gave you a chance to live, but now you're
going to die, you little bitch!"
Kano ran closer to her and lifted his leg to kick her. Sonya quickly blocked the move,
then followed it up with her series of punches and kicks. Kano only defended himself with the first few moves, but Sonya managed
to break through his block and smashed her fists, elbows, knees, and legs into his body in high speed and without mercy. After
a minute of this, she ended her fury by kicking her right leg upward, hitting Kano's jaw. Then, she brought her leg back down,
hitting the top of his head, causing him to go down on his knees. She ended the kick by bringing her leg forward and landed
her foot hard into Kano's stomach, causing him to fly back. All of the punches and kicks he received had weakened him.
Sonya
walked over to the former Black Dragon. As she did, she went into another one of her pouches around her waist. She grabbed
a handful of lavender-colored sand and took it out.
When she was closer to him, Kano looked up at her in his weak state.
Sonya smirked. "It ends here, Kano. But first, I want to give you a good-bye kiss."
She brought her hand towards her
face. She kissed the tips of her fingers, then blew the sand into Kano's face. Immediately, Kano began coughing. After a few
coughs, Kano began to vomit, which match the color of the ground at first. When he vomited a second time, it came up as blood.
After that, Sonya performed the final move of the fatality. She quickly took two steps in front of her, then jumped in the
air as high as she could. Then, she landed so hard on his back that it caused Kano's head to explode to a million pieces.
Sonya
stood on his back for a few more seconds before stepping off. She looked down at the bloody mess for a little bit. "It's finally
over," Sonya muttered under her breath. "Kano's finally dead."
She turned her head just in time to see her allies,
Johnny, Sub-Zero, and Frost running from a far distance. She raised an eyebrow when she noticed something.
Where's
Jax?
She began going after them.
***
Major Jax Briggs hid behind a statue, standing there like a
predator waiting for his prey. One thing was sure, that's nearly exactly what it was.
Jax spotted the traitor Hsu Hao
not too long ago. Jax couldn't believe how Hsu Hao completely fooled everyone into believing that Hsu Hao was a soldier for
the Chinese Secret Military. Who Hsu Hao really was, Jax wasn't sure, but he was sure of one thing....Hsu Hao was a trader
and is somehow involved with the Deadly Alliance. He was also responsible for not only nearly killing Jax, but has also risked
the lives of two of their agents.
Jax looked up at the dark sky. He noticed the green-colored souls passing him, all
going in the same direction. Jax sighed. We'll free you guys soon.
That's when he heard running footsteps
coming from behind him. Jax narrowed his eyes from under his dark military eye goggles, preparing for whoever was coming.
When the footsteps were closer, Jax jumped right in front of the person. Indeed, it was Hsu Hao himself, just without his
black conductor's hat.
Hsu Hao recognized the agent and his eyes were immediately filled with fear. Jax immediately
grabbed him by the neck and threw him against the wall.
"YOU!!" Jax screamed in rage. "HOW'S IT LIKE TO BE IN THE RECEIVING
END NOW, TRAITOR?!!"
"How did you get here?!" Hsu Hao said, trembling in fear.
"That don't matter no more, motherf***er!
You destroyed the Outerworld Investigation Agency, you nearly killed me with your little nuclear bomb, and now two of our
agents are lost, all because of you!!" Jax's grip on Hsu Hao's neck tightened. "You better start explaining now! Who do you
work for?"
Hsu Hao raised his hands and quickly put them out as far as he could get them in front of Jax. Then, to
Jax's surprise, a huge gust of winds along with dust particles come out of Hsu Hao's hands. This caused Jax to let go of Hsu
Hao and he flew about a hundred feet back before landing hard on the ground.
"I've got more surprises up my sleeves
than you think," Hsu Hao said with a smirk. He ran over towards Jax. Jax got up and when Hsu Hao was close enough, Jax, fueled
with rage, grabbed the artificial heart implant on his chest and with all his might, he ripped it off the traitor's chest.
Immediately,
crimson blood poured from Hsu Hao's chest. He screamed in pain and agony and fell to his knees. Then, he fell forward and
became lifeless.
Jax tossed the implant to the side. "That's what you get!"
A few seconds later, Sub-Zero, Frost,
and Johnny caught up with him. Frost saw the mess by Jax. "Ugh."
"What the hell just happened?" asked Johnny.
Jax
sighed. "I settled a score. Now we can go find Sonya and keep going with our mission."
Just as he said that, he noticed
Sonya running up to the group. "Hey!" Sonya cried.
"Speaking of the devil," said Johnny.
Sonya looked down at
the body. "Heh, guess we found Hsu Hao."
"How was your meeting with Kano?" asked Sub-Zero.
Sonya smirked. "He's
no longer a problem for us."
"Finally," answered Jax.
That's when they heard a thunderbolt next to them. Everyone
turned around and noticed Raiden coming towards them. Just behind him were Kung Lao and a large Asian man.
"We have
found Shang's palace," said Raiden. "We must get going."
"Who's this guy?" asked Jax looking at the unfamiliar man.
Kung
Lao turned his head towards him. "This is Bo' Rai Cho. He trained Liu Kang in the move that helped him defeat Shang years
ago. Now I've learned the move."
That was quick, thought Sonya.
"Greetings," said Bo', bowing to them.
Everyone else followed.
"Wait," cried Sonya. Everyone turned to her. "I have good news and bad news."
"Go on,"
said Jax.
"Alex got in contact with me just before I fought Kano. Somehow, Cyrax came back to Earth so he's safe."
"That's
great!" Jax cried. "But the bad news is Kenshi's still missing, right?"
"No," Sonya replied, looking at Jax seriously.
"The Deadly Alliance have discovered Kenshi and realized he works for Special Forces. Now they sent someone after him to eliminate
him."
"What?!" Jax cried out.
"Yeah," Sonya said. She turned to the others. "Let's get going! Kenshi's life
is at stake! We have to get to him first before they do."
