Flirting With Death (An OC Fanfic/MK Fanfic)

Return of an Old Model...

"I have come to aid you. Elder God's orders," Bi-Han aka Noob Saibot told us. Apparently, he had survived something called a 'soulnado' drifting endlessly throughout the abyss, before finding the God's plane.

His origins were that he was meant to be a servant. Sort of like me, yet this one succeeded. For a time. Now, he had a new purpose; serving the will of the Elder Gods. Now, he was intended to serve me for the time being. While it wasn't a complete servitude, given I am only half a god, he would nonetheless keep me around and serve my plans, at least until the Rain fiasco ends, or if I try to disobey their will in some way.

Quite honestly, this history was...intriguing.

"So, Any leads to what Rain wants?" Johnny uttered, after the awkward silence of previous history.

"That vision only meant one thing; Armageddon," Noob responded. "He intends to trigger it early for what I assume is an attempt to attain power,"

"Er, English? We aren't exactly knowledgeable of every divine thing in existence," Takeda responded.

"It is what I was trying to stop in the early days. The timeline must be recorrecting itself," Raiden sighed. "I guess it would mean that it's inevitable,"

"What sort of prize does that traitor wish to receive?" Mileena questioned.

"Armageddon itself is a history of violence. Argus, a god, had two sons. They're Power was too great, each opposing each other, so they created a being that would reduce the amount of powerful beings, by concentrating all the power in the one who defeats this being," Raiden said, and continued. "As you can imagine though, many realms have produced above average warriors, something that the being would notice."

"Defeating this creature grants you immeasurable power? Don't get any ideas Mileena," I said, immediately taking a verbal swing at her.

"Why would I ever do that?" Mileena said in a low and sarcastic voice; it was clear that she was thinking of doing that. I returned to the conversation at hand, and the rest of the plan was underway.

I needed to find somebody called 'Taven'. Apparently he is the only one not awake as of now. The other was 'Daegon'. From my prior encounter with the Elder Gods, he wasn't exactly a good person, so I guess if the fight were to happen, kill him, let Tavin fight Rain; a back-up if you will.

Of course, hearing 'Daegon', Takeda immediately took interest.

"Red Dragon leader? May I come?" I paused a moment.

"Why?" I asked, intrigued it what story he had to offer.

"He and his Red Dragons are responsible for....something personal,"

"Dead family member?" I deadpanned, and by the look on his face, it was spot-on. "Fine. Anything else?"

"Well, I have to bring my dad,"

"Noted. So...here is how we're settling things...."

***

It had been a fair amount of time since we had made it to Outworld. Mileena, wasn't fond of coming to Kotal Kahn for help. The usurper, and part of the reason for her death, and we had to pull a favor. Raiden had personally teleported us to the palace, as I had yet to get used to the recoil of my own teleporting. Khameleon was sent with Takeda and his father, Kenshi if my memory is correct; she needs more discipline than me and especially Mileena have.

Right now, it our new group, consisting of four, including us, was Noob Saibot, and a friend of Raiden to help us navigate this area was Bo-Rai-Cho, a portly outworlder, surprisingly a good guy...if you look past his clear drinking issue. I assumed it helps with his martial arts, but I thought imitation was what 'Drunken Wushu' was about, not actually being drunk.
