-Mean while-

No One's Point of View

Nate makes his way to the cottage where you told him to go last. Yet when he got there, he found no one there.

Thinking he got tricked, he was about to leave until he got ambushed by Sindel and her minions.

They even got his horse, Hunter tied up outside while Sindel herself was there watching with a smile on her face.

Nate was trying to fight them off of him, but to no aval with Shoa Kahn smiling as well watching.

"Well, this is a pleasant surprise! I set my trap for a peasant and lo. I catch a prince." Sindel says smiling and cackling on what just unfolded. Nate looks really pissed at her.

'What did this witch DO TO THEM?!?!' Nate thought in anger.

"Away with him!" Sindel orders her minions, and they were doing as they were told.

"But gently my pets. Gently." Sindel says as Nate was trying to fight back.

"I have plans for our royal guests." Sindel says as Shoa Kahn follows Sindel and the minions back to her domain.

-Time skip-

When the three masters have gotten to the cottage, they found Nate's hat and figured out that Sindel must have taken him in fear and shock of what she will do to the young man. They were debating on what to do, they knew they had to go to the forbidden mountain. They knew they couldn't go there, but they must. For the sake of Nate, (Y/n), and everyone else in the kingdom.

-Time skip-

The three had arrived at the mountain obviously scared for their life, but they knew what they must do to rescue Nate. The three went through twists and turns as well as trying to avoid the minions around the castle after they shrunk themselves while scared. Later they see a 'party' going on seeing Sindel amongst them on her throne.

"What a pity Prince Nathan couldn't be here to enjoy the celebration. Come, we must go to the dungeon to cheer him up." Sindel says while smirking at Shoa Kahn as the two was going to the dungeon. The three masters tried to follow them without getting spotted themselves.

Once there, Nate looks up to see Sindel and Shoa Kahn there in front of him.

"Oh, come now, Prince Nathan. Why so melancholy? A wonderous future lies before you. You, the destined hero of a charming fairy rale come true." Sindel was telling him with a smirk on her face while the three masters were watching from the little peep hole.

"Behold, King (Y/F/N)'s castle." Sindel says using her scepter and showing the image of what is going on at the castle.

"And in yonder topmost tower, dreaming of their true love. (Princess/Price) (Y/n). But see the gracious whim of fate. Why tis the self-same peasant, who won the heart of our noble prince, but yesterday... They are indeed most wonderous, fair, gold of sunshine and their hair. Lips that shame the red, red rose. In ageless sleep, they found reposed." Sindel says trying to anger Nate.

"The years roll by, but a hundred years to a steadfast heart. About a day and now the gates of a dungeon part and our prince is free to go his way. Off he rides on his noble steed, a valiant figure, straight and tall to wake his love with love's first kiss. And prove that true love conquers all!" Sindel taunts as Nate got really angered and tried to attack Sindel.

Yet he failed due to him being bound by chains on the wall with Sindel cackling at him.

"Oh why-" Ethan was trying to say yet was interrupted by Mark and Jack pulling him back. Shoa Kahn looked at the direction of the door to see nothing there. Yet he had his suspicion...

"Oh, my pet, let us leave our noble prince with these happy thoughts." Sindel says as her and Shao Kahn left Nate there as they opened the door.

"A most gratifying day." Sindel adds as she closes the door behind them and locks it.

"For the first time in 16 years, I shall sleep well." Sindel tells Shao Kahn while smiling. Shao Kahn looks behind them just in case, until the three masters looked to see that Sindel was going into her tower for now.

Then the three quickly went into the dungeon door's peep hole now enlarging themselves. Nate looks up confused for a moment until he sees the three helping him with the chains.

"No time to explain." Mark tells Nate seeing his confused look as he was helping getting the chains off Nate's hands. Jack was getting the chains off Nate's boots, while Ethan was working on the lock. Once the chains were off, Nate got up, but Mark stops him for now.

"Wait, Prince Nate. The road to true love may be barred by still many more dangers, but you alone will have to face. So, arm yourself with this enchanted Shield of Virtue. And this mighty sword of Truth." Mark explains to him as he uses his magic to summon the weapons.

Nate was surprised and yet determined to get back to (Y/n). Ethan still kept watch as Jack was by his side, helping him.

"But these weapons of righteousness will triumph over evil. Now, we must hurry." Mark explains as the four now hurry to find Hunter.
