Nash's P.O.V

Well, today's the day we all split up to do the mission. Before I could go to the Shokan's to fetch Kristina, a screech was heard from the sky. There was a shadow that covered Bo Rai Cho's place, making the man himself step outside to see what's going on.

"Nash, what is- Oh!"

Oh was right. It was Azril who's on the back of a greyish-blue dragon, staring down at us. Oh my god, what has Azril been feeding his dragon?! She's as big as a house!!

"Azril?" My voice was soft with disbelief.

"Yes?"

"Visenya's as big as a house!" I exclaimed. "How the hell did she grow so fast?"

"I have no idea," he shrugged as his dragon descended to the ground. She glared at me before snorting. Then she sniffed Bo Rai Cho who recoiled quickly while her muzzle looked like it was crinkled with disgust when the drunken master wanted to pet her.

"Well," Bo Rai Cho lets out a booming laugh before patting my shoulders. "I wish you all the luck for this mission. Please, you and your sister are welcome here. More importantly, do not lose any limbs because I am no expert in restoring them!"

I had a small laugh too and thanked him for his hospitality before getting on Visenya. Damn, she's as cold as an ice block! I can't find it easy to sit on her behind Azril due to the ridges on her back. All of the ridges including wings are a midnight blue. I held onto Azril's waist for dear life.

"Hang on," he murmured before commanding Visenya to fly.

"OH MY GOD!" I yelled as the flight was more than seventy-feet off the ground along with the fact that Azril is making her fly over jagged mountains to scorching fiery pits where the Shokans reside.

I am surprised that she doesn't melt since she's an ice dragon.

"Do you think the plan will work?" I suddenly ask Azril. I know that it's my plan and mission but I've been having some thoughts as we were flying across the lands. Azril did't look at me but said:

"If you believe that it will go well, it might. Though don't let your hopes get up as Shao Kahn is prepping up as well for his conquer for worlds to be merged and then become a battleground."

Both of us decided to stay silent during the flight until we found a safe place to land without causing any disruptions. I'm surprised Visenya's very careful considering how large she is now.

Just then the ice dragon whipped her head to let out a spine-tingling snarl. The Shokans obviously saw her and now all of them are ready with weapons in case of an attack. I wished I had a replacement hammer but I brought up my fists close in case one of them strikes.

And then came the Queen of Shokans herself in her battle armour that covered her up from her skimpy outfit. Despite that, she still looks beautiful and regal even with four arms ready to tear me off. But now I need to focus on the mission. Kristina came beside her in her outfit that's just shorts with a singlet top along with a belt that has her twin guns.

I myself wore a simple garment that was influenced by Edenia with my vest and pants. I just need a place to hold a replacement hammer. Azril on the other hand had the outfit that screamed the Lin Kuei with its sigil and blue hues however he wore something that I would describe as being a blend of old tradition and something out of Blade Runner.

"So this is the stoic Disciple I have been told about?" Sheeva enquired, approaching Azril who climbed down on Visenya. He bowed in greeting that made most of the Shokans calm down. His dragon was hesitant at the whole scene.
