Beauty and the Shaolin Zombie // Liu Kang x Usagi [COMPLETED]

Chapter 26: Castle Battle

Serena tries her best to free herself from the bone hands, but there is no use. She let out a frustrating groan, feeling defeated.

"I have to warn Liu Kang! This is all my fault!" Serena said, blaming herself for the mess she made.

"What are we going to do now?" Fujin asked, worried.

"Now, now, you guys. We'll figure something else out how we can escape." Bo Rai Cho said, struggling to break free but there was no use.

Then Sonya looked at the distressed Serena with a worried look. "Serena..."

"Mom?" Serena looked at her mother.

"Are you alright?" Sonya asked, feeling relief to see her daughter was still okay.

She nodded. "Yeah."

"I thought we never see you again," Sonya said as her eyes filled with tears.

"I missed you guys so much," Serena said with a smile.

"My baby," Sonya said, smiling brightly.

"We've been worried about you, kiddo. If you hadn't gone to Liu Kang's castle, you and Fujin would have come to us and told us what happened and we'd come to rescue Raiden." Johnny said with a worried look.

She looked away, feeling like they were disappointed in her for what she did. "I'm sorry..."

"Hey, don't feel sad about it, Serena. We're proud of you for protecting Raiden. You did a brave thing out there." Cassie said, giving her a kind smile.

"Is it true you and Liu Kang were...?" Sonya awkwardly asked.

She nodded. "We became friends after he saved me from the zombie dogs."

"But how did you escape?" Raiden asked curiously.

"I didn't escape. He let me go." Serena answered.

Fujin blinked. "He let you go?"

She began to blush softly as she smiled. "He's different now. He's changed somehow."

"So you admitted you two were in love?" Johnny asked.

"Daddy!" Serena wailed.

"Come on! You have to admit you like him. It isn't that bad if you fall in love with him." Johnny giggled.

"You know he's a zombie, right?" Jacqui asked with a sweatdrop.

"So? I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad after all." Johnny said, grinning. That annoyed Sonya a lot just like from old times.

"That would be gross..." Bo Rai Cho said, looking away in disgust.

"Have you guys seen a movie when a zombie boy falls in love with a living woman?" Johnny asked.

"We know, Dad. It's Warm Bodies. And we have seen it before." Cassie said.

"Not really... We never watch it before." Fujin chuckled nervously.

"Guys, right now, we need to find a way to escape and stop Diamond from hurting Liu Kang," Serena said with a worried look.

"Then how?" Johnny asked.

Suddenly, the two ninjas appeared in front of them as they released their power to destroy the bone hands, releasing them.

"We're free...!" Bo Rai Cho exclaimed in relief.

Raiden recognized the two ninjas. "Scorpion! Sub-Zero!"

"We had come to the rescue," Scorpion said.

"Thank you," Raiden said, bowing down at the waist.

"Quickly, we must stop Shinnok, or else we--" Unfortunately, Shinnok corrupted the Jinsei Chamber when the Sky Temple started to tremble.

"Shinnok has corrupted the Jinsei!" Fujin said, panicked.

Raiden turned to face Serena. "You must go to Netherrealm and save Liu Kang. We'll handle Shinnok."

Serena nodded. Then she headed her way to Netherrealm to save Liu Kang and his zombie friends immediately.

At the same time, when they entered the castle, they were ambushed by the zombies. Diamond had a chance to escape so he went out to find Liu Kang.

Kabal and Smoke threw the tomatoes at Sapphire and the gang. After that, Sindel delivered her attack as she beat one of Diamond's goons with her long hair.

Kitana and Jade had eaten Diamond's goons' brains in the process after defeating them.

Nightwolf saved Kung Lao from Sapphire who tried to burn him with the torches. After that, Kitana was attacked by Diamond's goons so Kung Lao saved her.

Sapphire and the gang chased Jade until they walked into her trap by staring them away with the bunch of ghosts.

Eventually, they drove Sapphire and the gang away. They began to celebrate their victory not knowing Diamond was still out there looking for Liu Kang.
