Honda looked
at his opponent Scorpion. Just a few moments ago, Scorpion threw Cody off the cliff sending him down to his death. Now Honda
was filled with rage.
"You bastard!" he cried. "You won't get away with what you did to Cody! What did you do with
the others?"
Scorpion only stared at him, his white eyes narrowed. Honda got into his fighting stance, also narrowing
his eyes at Scorpion. The two stared at each other for a minute. The wind blew hard making the dark clouds above move in high
speed.
Then, Scorpion quickly put his arm out. His symbiatic harpoon flew towards Honda. Honda jumped behind a tree.
The harpoon hit the tree leaving a big mark on it.
Scorpion ran after Honda. Honda put his arms out. Scorpion jumped
about a foot in the air and performed a roundhouse kick at Honda. Honda blocked the move and threw a punch at Scorpion. Scorpion
blocked the move. The two started throwing series of punches at each other. At one moment, Scorpion could be playing offense
and Honda playing defense, or it could be the other way around.
Then, Scorpion found an opening and managed to kick
Honda in the gut. Honda has the wind knocked out of him, but he managed to block Scorpion's incoming punch.
The two
are pretty close to the edge of the cliff. Both of them are fully aware of the cliff and try to back away. They can hear a
storm starting up in the distance.
The fight looked like it would end in a draw. Of course, it was the fight to the
death. No matter what, only one of these warriors will make it out alive.
Honda then managed to duck down and trip
Scorpion. Scorpion fell to the ground. Scorpion then quickly got up and threw more punches and kicks at Honda. Honda attempted
to block every one of them. Then, he found himself very close to the edge.
I've got to do something! Honda
thought. I've got to win for Cody.
Then, Honda performed his hundred-hand slaps. Scorpion is unable to block
the speed of the slaps and is hit multiple times in a row. Honda performed the last of the slap sending Scorpion flying backwards.
Scorpion crashed into a tree.
Honda ran after him. Scorpion stood up quickly........and took off his mask.
Honda
stopped himself and his mouth dropped open. Scorpion revealed his grinning skull.
"This is bad," Honda thought out
loud.
Scorpion let out a line of fire out of his mouth. Honda ducked out of the way. The fire lighted up a tree.
Honda
ran up to Scorpion and started throwing more kicks and punches at him. Scorpion blocked them all of course. The tree nearby
them burned quickly. Then, it started to fall.......right towards them.
Honda looked up. "Timber!" he cried out. He
ran out of the way for safety. Then he heard the tree crash down to the ground.
Honda looked around still in his fighting
stance. Scorpion was nowhere to be seen.
"The tree must've killed him," Honda said. Then he remembered something about
Scorpion. "Wait a minute, isn't he already dead?"
Suddenly, a figure, burning with fire, jumped up in the air. Honda
could see that it was Scorpion.
"Whoa!" Honda cried, his eyes widened. "Looks like there is only one thing left to
do."
As Scorpion landed on the ground, Honda jumped in the air and darted his body at Scorpion headfirst. He hit Scorpion
in the gut, which wasn't ignited with any flames. They flew across until they are near the cliff. Honda got back down on the
ground. He watched as Scorpion flew over the edge and fall three hundred feet down to the ocean. Honda heard the splash down
below.
Honda looked up. "He was definitely dead to begin with. I better get back to the camp before he jumps back up
here. At least I have some sort of idea about what happened to Dan, Mika, Fei-Long, and Sub-Zero." Honda started running through
the woods.

"We're going to have to do something about all of this," said Sonya. "I'm sick of watching our
friends die and have their souls taken in this tournament!"
The fighters were back at the cave at one o'clock in the
morning. Guy's death was already tragic enough, but there were still matters to deal with.
"She's right," said Jax.
"We can't just sit here anymore. We didn't come here just to watch our friends die. We came here to investigate and destroy
The Outworld." He looked at Dan. "What happened to you guys?"
"Mika and I were lost in the woods for a few days," Dan
replied. "I got sick too and we met this wizard and he helped me feel better. Then we met Nightwolf and tried to go back,
but when we got back to the wizard's hut, he gave us this potion that made us pass out. Fei-Long and Sub-Zero met up with
us there."
"Do you know where they are now?" asked Chun-Li.
"It turns out that Shang shape-shifted into the
wizard," said Mika. "Shang took the four of us to his dungeon. The four of us try to escape, but the guards captured Fei-Long
and Sub-Zero, so Dan and I managed to make it out."
"So now the guess is that they are either dead or alive," said
Ken.
"So Shang has been responsible for taking the souls," Rolento said.
Everyone nodded.
"Like we've
said before," Jax continued. "We can't just sit here anymore. I think it's time that we go in after Outworld. If we keep going
with the tournament, little, or none of us, will make it out alive."
That's when they heard someone come out of the
woods fast. Everyone saw Honda jump out of the bushes. He stopped in front of the group and fell to the ground gasping for
air.
"Honda!" cried Dan. "Where were you?"
Honda's eyes became wide. "Dan? Mika? You're alive! It's good to
see the two of you again."
"Honda," said Sonya. "I'm terrified to ask, but where's Cody?"
Honda bowed his head.
"We went up against Scorpion and he threw Cody off a high cliff. I tried to save him, but he was too far for me to reach."
"Wait,"
said Jax. "Are you saying that Scorpion killed him?"
Honda nodded.
"You know, Scorpion is neutral. He has nothing
to do with Outworld."
"So his soul is in peace?" asked Liu.
"Yes."
"Funny," said Chun-Li. "Two best friends
die on the same night."
Everyone bowed their heads.
Kitana stood up which made the group overcome with silence.
"My heart has been broken because of what Goro did to Guy. I know he just died tonight, but I am not willing to let that get
in the way, just like how the others died. I am willing to be strong for him. We are going to destroy Outworld and even make
sure that Fei-Long and Sub-Zero make it out alive."
"Kitana," said Liu. "You have a strong will and heart."
"When
you live for ten thousand years, you learn so much."
"So what do we do now?" asked Cammy.
Jax looked at Mika.
"Do you guys remember where exactly Shang's Dungeon is?"
"It's about four miles away," Mika replied. "The place is
like a maze, Dan and I didn't even know where the exit was for a while."
"We shall go there," Jax said. "For Dee Jay,
Johnny, Dhalsim, Rose, Cody, Guy, and even Sakura who made it out alive, we will use every power we possess, every strength
we have, and basically everything we have, we will destroy Shao Kahn and the Outworld......tonight!" He put a fist out. "We,
as Street Fighters and warriors of Mortal Kombat will rise."
One by one, everyone put their fist out, one over the
other.
"We will destroy them!" Jax cried.
"Destroy them!" everyone cried raising their fists high in the air.
