Mortal Kombat: Fire and Ice

Part 2: Chapter 60

PAGE ONE

Panel 1: Scorcher steps forward as the smoke around the shadowy figure clears. His hair flows in the wind. A man steps forth, just as large as Scorcher, with short silver hair and the same fiery orange eyes. He wears a black armored chest plate and has matching armor on his wrists as well as on his legs. He also has chainmail on his legs. He forms a Hellfire ball in his hand as him and Scorcher lock eyes.

Scorpion: An old enemy of yours?

Scorcher: Yeah you could say that, he's a Balrog too, just like me.

Panel 2: Scorcher walks up to the man.

Scorcher: Mammon! Fancy seeing you here!

Mammon: Just as sarcastic as ever Dante. Although I can't say I'm surprised a battle loving individual such as yourself is here.

Scorcher: You love battle too, it's in your blood. What happened, did the money you sold out your entire race for run out?

Mammon: Silence! You know nothing of that situation!

Scorcher: Maybe. But I do know that money is worth more than your integrity. I mean hell all that it took to betray your race was a quick flash of the cash. They were about to succeed, and then next thing you know they all failed on the mission. Why? Because you decided a bunch of money was worth more than them. You're lucky they were able to survive the attack, cause it would have been worse if they died. I mean all the Balrogs back home hate you already and call you a traitor but imagine if those you betrayed died?

Mammon: You annoy me to no end Dante! Blabbering on and on especially about something you don't know! I have my reasons for what I did.

Scorcher: Oh yeah? And what's that? Go ahead, I'm listening.

Mammon: You simply wouldn't understand! Enough talking, let's cut to the chase. We're here to fight. What are we waiting for?

Scorcher: Guess I'll just have to beat the reason out of you then.

Panel 3: The two step forward, and everyone stops again as they feel the immense power and heat emanating from the area. A fiery aura surrounds both demons. The aura grows in size and intensity- until a massive explosion occurs, and then we see the two of them, fists clashed and pressed against each other. Another explosion and this time their knees are clashed against each other. One more explosion and they throw kicks, legs clashing as well. They back away from each other and then rush in, beginning to engage in a brawl. Both land heavy Hellfire punches to the head and body of each other. Scorcher fakes a jab to the head only to land a flaming body cross, flaming body hook and then a Hellfire kick, his leg engulfed in flames. He blasts his enemy in the face with a fireball before grabbing him by the throat, lifting him into the air with one hand and choke slamming him into the ground. Scorcher aims a flaming punch at the downed Mammon, but he's able to teleport away. He reappears and lands a spinning back kick to the body that sends Scorcher back.

Panel 4: Mammon hits Scorcher with a flaming uppercut and blasts him to the body with a fireball. He goes for another blast but gets countered by a jumping knee followed by a spinning back kick to the body from Scorcher, who returns the favor. Scorcher locks him in the clinch and begins driving knees into his body, ending it with an elbow to the face then pushing him away and landing a head kick. He slips a jab and counters with a cross, flaming lead uppercut and a right leg kick. He grabs Mammon by the neck again, flies up into the air, and then violently slams him back down into the ground, before tossing him into midair and throwing a flaming flip kick. He grabs Mammon's leg and throws him into the ground a few times before tossing him away. Mammon is able to teleport away from an axe kick and he stands up.
