"Hey, Zoom, cut Zemerik off from above! Me and Agura will keep on his tail while you do!"
"Got it, Vert! I'm on my way!"
Vert Wheeler grinned as he pushed down on the accelerator, speeding up alongside the green car beside him. The Sabre and the Tangler sped after the grey war machine driven by the leader of the Sark. Zemerik looked back to see the two battle cars on his tail.
"Hah! You'll have to be smarter than that, organic!" he called towards his opponents. He fired off his cannons in front of him, causing the rock face to explode. Zoom was too close to slow down, so he activated the Chopper's hover mode. Zemerik sneered as Agura reached the Tangler's wheel towards the car's rear, catching hold of his spoiler. Vert called ahead to let the rest of the Battle Force 5, Sherman, Spinner and Stanford, that they had Zemerik, and to make their way up to where they were.
Vert was about to step out of the Sabre, when a loud bang went off in their vicinity. Vert was knocked back into his seat as Agura looked around.
"What in the blazes was that?!" Zemerik called over, who appeared to be just as confused as the other two. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long to find out. A loud, booming voice erupted over the Battle Zone, which could even be heard by the approaching Buster, Chopper and Reverb.
"VERT WHEELER. THE LEADER OF THE BATTLE FORCE FIVE. THE CRIMSON ONE. YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED".
"Wha-" Vert was about to ask who was speaking, and how they knew his full name, when a bright blue light suddenly engulfed him and the Sabre, making it to where no one could see him. Agura and Zemerik squinted as the light dissipated, only to reveal that both Vert and the Sabre had completely vanished.The rest of the team pulled up next to the Tangler and hopped out. They had all seen what had happened.
"Where did he go?" Stanford asked, putting his hand to his forehead to look around. "He's just vanished!"
"Vert?" Spinner called. "Vert?!"
"Spread out, we'll find him!" commanded Agura, and the rest of the team obeyed. They each went a separate direction, calling for their team leader.
"Vert?""Vert!""VERT!"

"I concede".
Shang Tsung kneeled at the mercy of the honourable Shaolin monk. It was the final tournament between the realms of Earthrealm and Outworld. Liu Kang raised his hands and performed the movement of respect.
"FINISH HIM!" the emperor Shao Kahn called out so that the whole coliseum could hear. Liu Kang looked down at Tsung, who was now stood up, ready to accept his death at the hands of the warrior monk. But murder was not the way of the Shaolin.
"No" Liu Kang announced, turning towards Kahn. "I fight for honour, and bloodshed is not my way of achieving that. You have had enough violence". Lord Raiden smiled standing next to Kahn. This was why he had chosen Liu Kang. His moral code was the most reliable thing about him; he would stay convicted to it throughout everything.
Kahn growled, but still waved his hand for Tsung to be taken away.However, as the guards approached the sorcerer, a loud voice suddenly filled the stadium, apparently coming from the air itself.
"LIU KANG. THE HONOURABLE SHAOLIN MONK".
"SHANG TSUNG. THE DEADLY SORCERER".
"YOU TWO HAVE BEEN SELECTED".
A blinding blue light surrounded the Shaolin warrior, while a deep red engulfed the Outworld sorcerer, causing even Raiden and Kahn to cover their eyes to block it out. After a few seconds, the light disappeared, showing no sign of the monk or the sorcerer. The two had vanished from the coliseum.
