Mileena's pov: I hate leaving him behind, but at least Frost is there. I still can't believe they took her. Elder Gods, my head hurts. Still, I don't know what Hanzo dreamt of, but I know he meant what he said. Still, a part of me thinks it's too good to be true.
"Mileena, may I talk to you for a second?" Sonya asks me while I sit in an uncomfortable seat.
"What is it, general?" She sits next to me as one of the Special Forces soldiers takes control of the aircraft.
"I know you have Kotal, but please don't try to kill him." She gives me a cold look so much, so I thought Sub Zero was next to me.
"I won't kill him." I pick up and look at the cover of a book called Of Mice and Men.
"Good. If you try anything to do that leads to Kotal's death. You'll join him in the ground."
"I know you don't trust since less than two weeks ago I wanted him dead, but I like being here." I put down the book and head to where the aircrafts Cafe. Cyrax is over by the corner trying to make sense of his situation.
"One more thing, your sentence was going to be exile from Outworld. At least your new home is one you at least like." She gets up from the chair and goes to talk to Kenshi.
"I didn't miss these things." I eat a few peanuts as people look at me. My Tarkatan teeth make me stand out amongst the ninjas, assassins, and the worlds deadliest people.
"It's hard to believe that we're working together." Le Mei tells me while getting some water. "I still don't trust you."
"Than, why save me?"
"Even though I'd rather put your head on a pike even I know when someone's more valuable alive than dead."
"Nice to know someone I have to fight with wants me dead but sees me as a pawn."
"Glad we're on the same page." She leaves while taking a sip of water. I would talk to Hanzo, but he's in the other aircraft.
Hanzo's Pov: "I may like the thrill, but damn you must enjoy playing russian roulette by yourself." Erron tells me while lays on his back.
"Why do you say that?" I reply.
"You're dating Mileena of all people. Were you hit on the dome recently?"
"No, I had internal bleeding."
"I may lay with vampires, but Tarkatans is where I draw the line."
"We haven't done anything like that. At most, it was a kiss. Anyways, why should I take relationship advice from you Black?"
"I'm judging you, not giving advice." He says while throwing an empty bottle to the trash.
"That sounds like a block buster movie right there," Cage enters me and Black's talk.
"I'm not selling merchandise of the Shirai Ryu for the last time, Cage."
"I'm here to give you advice, my man."
"Never call me that."
"Noted. I was just saying that I'm the ladies' man here, and I will make you and Mileena happen."
"Why would you care about my love life?"
"I owe you for me and Sonya, so I think this will be a perfect way to pay you back."
"This will go horribly, and I will enjoy the shit show." Black interjects.
"I already been married, so I pretty sure I'll be fine."
"Okay then, remember, if you need help, you know where to find me." He leaves to head to the bathroom.
I head to the other end of the room to find something to entertain myself. I look to the books on board to find anything worth reading. Nothing really caught my attention. I try to meditate, but all I can think of is Mileena. I couldn't explain why I wanted her. Why I had an indecent dream about her earlier. I dread to think of what the hell will happen once the battle begins.
With the Deadly Alliance
Noob holds a dagger with ancient markings on it. He is waiting as Sketor gets the device ready. "ETA 5 minutes," the cyber tells the undead assassin. "How predictable."
"Still just as smug even when you gave up your humanity," Noob replies. "I don't get why we didn't kill the main threats to the plan."
"Like I said, only Scorpion can activate the device. It was Cryax's task to capture Scorpion." He closes the panel to the mainframe. He sends out an alert of the incoming attack. "For the rest, I have plans for them."
"Don't get ahead of yourself," Noob puts away the dagger as he gets annoyed with Sketor. "Remember the deal I get half."
"I haven't forgotten. I gave you that woman with twin hammers."
"Yet you get the Shokan when I was the one who nearly killed him. We might go back decades, but do not try to screw me. Otherwise, I don't mind putting you in the scrap heap."
"Let's discuss them a rewards after we beat the genetic bottlenecks." Sketor leaves to the warship to start the storm. Noob looks at the dagger.
His time in the netherrealm has taught him a lot of things. Mostly about how to even colder than he was in life. He wants Hanzo's head after killing him, but unfortunately for him, he can't do it yet. But he can make him watch as he slowly kills Mileena. The second person Hanzo has loved. Or better yet, he can make Hanzo himself kill her. After all the Kamidogu can send those cut by it into mindless bloodthirsty savages. All he had to do was wait until the perfect moment to make Hanzo Hasashi kill the woman he loved in cold blood.
Sketor, meanwhile, was about to fire the missiles until he got another reading of something of netherrrealm origin teleported to the temple. He couldn't waste time worrying about the weaker half in the alliance. "Fire!" He orders his clan of cybernetic assassins fire the first shot of the battle.
