Mortal Kombat: The Next Generation

Chapter 36: Angels and Devils

Lily got up from her bed and rushed into the canteen. As SF members marched around the cafeteria Lily realised that she definitely had a family, no matter what. "Lily, hold up!" Sierra shouted, causing Lily to stop eating her bagel, and listening. Sierra flung herself onto the bench beside Lily and rested her hand against Lily's.
"Hey gurl wassup?" Lily asked.
"Well, Amber's doing fine but I just wanna know how you are? You're my only sister!" Sierra asked, nudging Lily with her elbow.
"Hmm, other than my boyfriend being murdered and all that shit yeah, I'm fine," Lily said, with a tone of sarcasm in her voice. Sierra laughed.
"Come stay with me and Kuai! I know you wouldn't want to be with us and a screaming baby, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," Lily giggled.
"Where are you staying?"
"With Mileena at the moment! Come on, you love us, right?!" Sierra asked, batting her eyelashes.
Lily laughed, "Fine!" Sierra began to clap.
"Good because every day is like a slumber party with me!" Sierra said, skipping off into the distance.

Lily carried on eating her lovely bagel, until she was greeted by another person.
"Look Lily..." Takeda said, sitting beside Lily. Lily turned away, trying to shun him. Even though that never worked. In fact surely if Lily just forgave Takeda, she could put everything behind them. Lily slowly turned towards Takeda again.
"I'm sorry, we're both grieving, yeah you lost your boyfriend, but I lost my brother. Why don't we put everything behind us, and move on for Blaze?" Takeda suggested.
"For Blaze." Lily said, pulling Takeda in for a hug.

Lily walked over to Cassie, who was polishing her guns.
"I've been thinking about training with some different weapons, a bat? A mallet? I can't make up my mind," Lily said.
"To be honest, you're pretty talented with the whole, freezing, fans, guns and knives.."
"And spears," Lily added.
"And spears yes. I think you're fine!" Cassie joked. Cassie dropped the gun and turned to face Lily.
"Who was in your room last night?" Cassie demanded.
"I... I don't know,"
"Were you ever going to say?"
"Probably not, but is there a way of finding it out? I mean your Mom is the general, I'm sure you could pull some strings," Lily said.
"I'll see what I can do," Cassie said, strutting off into the distance.

"Are you a friend of Takeda?" A girl asked, dressed in a short red dress and heels.
Lily was shocked, how did a mortal get into base.
"Yes I am, why are you looking for him?" Lily asked, admiring the girls flowing blonde hair.
"He knows me, much better than you may think, may you take me to him?" The girl asked.
"Of course, what's your name?" Lily asked.
"Queenie, Queenie Takahashi,"
