Chapter 59

Nash's P.O.V

Tanya.....what have you done.....

The whole ground is filled with faces and they are moving with their gaping mouths followed by horrible screams. I wanted to piss my pants at this moment!

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" I heard Kristina shrieking in shock.

"Ew! The blood's gonna mess up my mecha suit!" Bryan grimaced, not even caring for the fact that he's safe and secure in his built-in suit compared to the rest of us. Then again, Bryan is Bryan. I somehow noticed that unlike the first time he came into Mortal Kombat, he has changed.

Changed as I was referring to him being a mad scientist rather than a typical computer science prodigy with cheat sheets in every game that we played.

Right now, I don't understand why Tanya would summon something so fucked up as moving faces on the ground while the sky has changed to blood red. Thankfully, it didn't smell of blood or else things might be a little queasy for me!

"Jade!" I yelled out to the bewildered assassin. "Try and destroy that pendant!"

Hearing my call, I think that got everyone going. Instead of battling, we are all trying our damn best to stay alive. Soldier after soldier were being devoured alive by the gaping mouths. Others like Kristina and Erron were shooting-stomping on the faces in sync. Ermac on the other hand was using his telekinesis to stop some of the faces from closing their mouths.

Instead those faces under him have become slack-jawed.

"I really hope Jade destroys that pendant," I talked out loud to myself. I'm just scared, okay?

However, if this was something unexpected, the next would be skeletons coming out of the ground. I'm starting to wonder when has Mortal Kombat ever been a horror game instead of a fighting game?

"I fucking knew that some horror show is going to happen!" Bryan whined, swatting away some oncoming skeletons as if they were mosquitoes. In fact, the Naknadans were engaging in battles with the undead army.

I figured since Tanya has the pendant, the horrors are controlled by her instead of Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn.

Speaking of which, I felt the ground shaking, as if something was coming straight at us. Gripping my hammer, I was ready to swing it at the oncoming attack. Have I mentioned before that when I did kill a few Naknadans, their bodies were suddenly devoured by the gaping maws.

Mind you, the mouths are still moving even as we are standing still. Best to step on their eyes if you ask me!

"Kitana, can you see what's coming?" I asked, since the princess herself was the closest to where the tremors were coming from-

Tremors...Oh, right....

"Get ready to jump!" I commanded, surprise by the sudden confidence I have to lead our group. Then again, I can't be all talk without the action. On cue, the ground full of faces were rattling, moaning sounds were heard as if their heads were rattled.

If it's anything the news told me, the impact of the earthquakes can literally throw people off their feet. Those giants that lumbered in the battlefield were already collapsing due to the shocks. Unfortunately, they got back up as if they just stepped on a torn.

Let's not forget some of them with severe legs decided to hobble on just one foot.

Speak of the devil, it was none other than Tremor himself. He's been creating earthquakes and aftershocks to throw us off, despite the fields are faces. With Kotal's sword, I used it as a saw to cut through the gaping mouths  of those faces.  I had to switch back and forth from sawing things in my path to swinging my hammer around to crack some skulls.
