Outworld's New Arrival

Introduction

Hello!

This is a fanfiction dedicated to the Kombat Pack 2 that came out forever ago, that formally introduced the Alien/ Xenomorph into Mortal Kombat. I came up with the idea of this story a while ago, but just now got the inspiration to put it to action :P

The story begins, with--what else?-- a fight. A time changing battle between Baraka and D'Vorah; both fighting for who they believe should rule over Outworld.

*dramatic transition*

She had taken quite the beating. Combined with the Tarkatan general's arm blades, Baraka was evidently quite skilled in the fighting arts. Surprisingly, D'Vorah, with all of her insect speed and skill, was having trouble keeping up with his vicious, barbaric fighting style.

Ducking under the slash of an arm blade, she tried to counter with a flexible kick to the jaw, only for the Tarkatan to backstep out of the way and kick at her. She blocked it easily, but the strength of the blow sent her staggering.

Deciding enough was enough by now, D'Vorah released her ovipositors from under her cloak, using them to block the incoming slashes and stabs. She swung her bladed appendages downward and away simultaneously, throwing Baraka's arms to the side and leaving wide open for attack.

Taking such opportunity, D'Vorah jumped and brought a downward blow into the Tarkatan's fanged jaw. She kept it going with and uppercut, a punch to the stomach, and an elbow to the eye. Baraka staggered, dazed.

D'Vorah, ending the battle, sunk two ovipositors into the sandy ground and lifted herself slightly in the air and kicked Baraka in the chest with both feet, sending him flying back into a street vendor's cart. He somehow struggled to his feet despite the beating, but it was clear he was no longer in any condition to fight.

D'Vorah smiled and looked upwards on a balcony where her new friend and soon-to-be emperor, Ko'atal, stood; triumphantly holding a blood stained twin hook. She raised a would-be brow at the large, frowning figure.

At a raised thumbs-down, D'Vorah smiled and released two of her ovipositors. She turned towards the dazed Tarkatan with murderous intent. With a quick hand movement, she impaled Baraka through the chest, heart skewered at the end the spear. Baraka's loud, roar of pain reached her...

... along with a high pitched screech?

Hesitating slightly, D'Vorah listened closely, but heard nothing more. Thinking little of it, she continued with her execution.

She finished the great Tarkatan general and formal Outworld champion with by lunging her ovipositor in Baraka's face, running it through. His brain was removed from his head in the same fashion that his heart was removed from his chest.

Retracting her ovipositors, D'Vorah took Baraka's heart in her right hand and his brain in her left. She looked at the organs briefly before smashing them together, splattering them into bloody pieces.

The Kytinn shook the blood off her hands and prepared to take out her wings and fly up to the balcony to meet up with Ko'atal and the Zaterran. However, before she could, she thought she saw movement from Baraka's corpse out of the corner of her compound eyes. It looked as though a serpent had slithered out of the Tarkatan.

She turned around and looked closer at the body. It laid on the ground, motionless and serpent-free. D'Vorah had a confused expression on her face; she never imagined things, and she was certain that Baraka was quite dead, so this was strange to say the least.

Remembering that there were more important things, she ignored her superstitions and flew up to the balcony to reveal Ko'atal and the Zaterran, standing victorious amongst fallen Tarkatans. Surprisingly, it was Ermac who was restraining the usurped Mileena. He must have betrayed her. No matter; it's all the better.

"Baraka is dead," she informed the new Kahn, Ko'atal.

Short chapter to start it off, but I promise future chapters will be longer and more exciting. For now, enjoy this little introduction to my second ever story.

If you like the Outworlders, but rather see them Alien-free, then check out my other story "The Lost Outworlders."

Otherwise, enjoy the story. ¡Ciao!
