The Cheated Kombatant (Cheater Kitana x Male Venom Reader x Mileena)

Chapter 16: Hell of a Time

At the Outworld Koliseum, a soldier bangs on a drum, as blue skinned, bald headed, red-eyed male humanoid is bound by an enlarged circular neck brace. Six more soldiers hold large poles leading into the neck brace in place, trying to keep the captive imprisoned. The creature is a member of the Naknada species and has a total of six spindly arms on his body - four at his sides and two smaller ones on his back. Despite his wiry stature, the soldiers visibly struggled to keep him pinned down. At one point, the Naknada manages to pivot and lift two soldiers into the air, but they lean down hard on their poles and manage to return to the ground. The crowd in the Koliseum cheer on the display. The Naknada - known only by his alias of "Kollector" - is brought down on his knees before Mileena, Y/N and Luna Kahn.

Y/N: For years you escaped our justice. Sucked dry the bounty of Outworld's people. Today, your debt is paid.

Kollector: Kill me, Y/N, and you lose profit.

Y/N: You mistake me for Shao Kahn. I do not inflict bandits upon the poor.

Kollector: Shao Kahn approved! His word was law!

Mileena: Enough, you may carry out the execution Kotal,

Kotal holds his blade in both hands, preparing a killing strike.

Kotal: Your master is dead, and so is his "law". Never again will Outworld suffer from his corruption.

Kotal lifts his blade above his head as the crowd grow wilder. Before he can deliver the fatal blow, an earthquake begins to erupt around the Koliseum. The stone statues bearing Y/N's family break apart and fall to the ground. Rips in time begin to tear into the structure itself.

Luna: What's going on?

A sandstorm has erupted in the Koliseum, sending the crowd and even some soldiers into a panic. Kotal, Y/N, Mileena, and Luna are distracted by the spectacle, but Kollector keeps calm. He notices that one of the soldiers pinning him in place has taken his grip off the pole he was holding. Without hesitation, Kollector seizes the chance given to him. He ducks low and swipes to his left, both unbalancing the other soldiers and striking them with their own poles. They are all sent sprawling to the ground. Kollector focuses on one of them and impales the poor man straight through the chest with one of the sharpened poles. As the soldier screams in agony, Kollector pivots the pole upwards, dragging the soldier down it and right into Kollector's hands. Grinning sadistically, Kollector takes the keys to the neck brace from the soldier's belt and undoes the lock keeping the brace together. He shakes it off as the now-dead soldier crumples to the ground, still impaled on the pole. Several tornadoes have sprouted up in the Koliseum, they dispel people from them: the blood mage Skarlet, a younger Erron Black, the savage Tarkatan known as Baraka, a young and bald-shaven Kano, the mutant hybrid Mileena, and most tellingly, Outworld's previous Emperor - Shao Kahn. But the remaining tornadoes in the Koliseum bring forth other people instead the alive versions of Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao and Jade. Out of the final tornado steps Raiden, but the Raiden of yesteryear, who summons his signature blue lightning as the tornado dies down. Y/N looks around in shock. The tornadoes have also brought in numerous Outworld soldiers - loyal minions of Shao Kahn, who stand close by their Emperor. For long moments, the crowd remains silent, taking in the spectacle before them. Y/N looks around as well, pausing to note that the statues that once bore his family have now been replaced by those of Shao Kahn. He approaches the new arrivals.

Y/N: Raiden? Shao Kahn?

Kitana: Y/N?

Shao Kahn: You! You sit next to my daughter?!

Mileena walks up and stands next to Y/N.

Mileena It is his, by right and deed. He killed you years ago and I married him by my own choice!
