The Disciples

Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Oh, my god.....

This is it! 

This is what we were expecting! Only thing missing were Riana and Azril joining us in this battle. I thought it was going to be something epic like Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit but this...

It was something terrifying with screams, cries, the clashing of weapons along with bones being broken were enough to make me sick in my stomach. Maybe there was a reason why the five of us came to Mortal Kombat. An awkward pervert, a student athlete, a child prodigy, a nature lover and a logical thinker...

Maybe, this could be the answer to everything!

I began to charge at a Naknadan who was outnumbering Kristina. I used a mixture of both of my hammer and my fists to break their jaws or at least one of their six arms. I think from all of the fights I have encountered here, I don't think the sight of dismembered limbs, blood or severed heads phased me anymore.

I wonder if my friends and sister felt the same way?

I'll have to think about later as another Naknadan was trying to slash my throat with a sickle. I could hear roaring coming from Reptile on my right. He was using his tongue like a chameleon's to snatch one of the Oni soldiers and managed to break his neck with the strength of his tongue and then spit his guts out with the corrosive acid.

"There's too many of them," I muttered to myself, smashing one of the scrambling Naknadans in my sight with their heads split opened, teeth and bits of their insides flying everywhere.

I could hear Jade screaming in anger as she was in an intense battle with Tanya. I did promise Jade that I would stay out of her way and let her have the finishing kill on her. Meanwhile, Kitana and her mother were teaming up to take down the giants with a combination of the fan and scream, making a powerful tornado.

Mileena on the other hand, looked like she was about to collapse.

I rushed to her side, hoping no one else got to her. She was brandished with new bruises and scars. "Mileena, just lean onto me. I can get you somewhere for you to heal up."

But the Tarkatan princess only giggled. "How sweet of you, Nash! But I'll be alright in a second. If you want my advice, go help my prissy sister and mother dearest!"

And she was right: Kitana and Sindel, despite their skills and abilities, were overwhelmed in numbers with the giants grabbing them as if they were Barbie dolls. Watching my former mentor and her mother getting thrown around, I began to charge at the giants with all of my might.

I know, sounds cheesy, isn't it? But when you're put into a situation like this, I'm pretty sure you would be doing the same, right?

"HEY!" I shouted, trying to draw the giants to my direction. When they ignored my calls, I began to sledgehammer them in the ankle, making them bellow out in pain. I have to act fast because now they are trying to grab anything they could to kill us.

I don't think I've ever jumped in my life but with the giants swinging their brutal arms at us, I have to do whatever it takes to survive. During the fight, I can't help but wonder where was Bryan. When I came up with Reptile, Bryan was there in his suit fighting off some Naknadans but midway, he disappeared.

'He better not change sides,' I thought to myself. Bryan was the most unpredictable one compared to me and Kristina.

Enough of that! Who knows what might happen if I decided to day dream right now!

"Boy, help me with this!" I heard Reptile hissing a command. I could see he was trying to lift a dead giant. I wonder what was his intention? Curiously, I leaped down from my kill to help this Zaterran.
