Chapter 46

3rd P.O.V

Reptile wasn't convinced with the whole idea of Riana making a deal with the Kollector. He had known the Naknada for some time during his service at Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn's side. That slippery bastard was always lending money to those who needed it but could not pay back along with his greed of collecting valuables which seemed to benefit him and Shao Kahn himself.

Of course, he had been in those situations.

Now that he was kicked out and was meant to be executed due to his failures, Reptile wasn't sure where he would go now that he knew the truth of his race's extinction. Hell, he doesn't know much of his own culture except for what he read in the library or his instincts.

He stood next to the mercenary Erron Black who was disinterested in the whole situation. Reptile wondered if this human had any interest other than payment on his mind. He himself on the other hand considered money to be of no value since he never had a clue in using it.

"She's going to die," the mercenary commented, polishing the rifle he took from his back. "The Kollector has tricks up his four-six sleeves."

"I hope she knows what she's doing," Bryan stood close to the two Outworlders, afraid to get close to the six-armed being. "That guy looked like he's going to cheat on everything."

"No doubt," Reptile's sibilant voice was crisp. He was holding Kurt in his arms, watching Riana and Kollector readying themselves for a fight. It was odd considering the fact Riana was in her undergarments while the Kollector had his two tiny arms holding his backpack on his bag.

"Don't be so confident," Kollector chuckled before making his first move of swift swipes with his twin blades. Riana tried her best to evade but since she is on the heavier side, she had some gashes of red at both hips and stomach areas.

Riana punched the upper arm that came close to her but was intercepted with the lower pairs who grabbed her, throwing he over his head. He began to attack in a frenzy, leaving her with multiple stab wounds. It was a bloody miracle that she is still alive.Reptile wanted to help her but was held back by Erron Black, saying it might make the Kollector torture or do worse things to Riana.

"Not much to say?" Kollector asked in a sickening-sweet tone at the now tired woman in her own pool of blood. He was about to knock her out when Riana...

Almost swiped him with her claws.

"NOOO!!!"

Thus, it was the end of the battle with a bloodied Riana fallen to the ground. Needless to say, the young woman was as good as dead considering how much damage that was inflicted upon her. What was a miracle was that her fitting gloves were still intact along with her specs.

The three plus bearded dragon came over to help her up. Riana was beaten up pretty badly. Blood dripped out of her mouth when she tried to speak. Reptile allowed Riana's head to rest on his lap while Kurt tried to nudge her face.

"Come on, Riana!" Bryan shook her by the arm. He lifted up his shirt for a bit to reveal his belt that had been on him this whole time. "We can't let him win from just one shot!"

Bryan began to take out two defibrillators from the belt pocket, rubbing them together to create static. Riana involuntarily snapped up awake from her unconsciousness before the youngest Disciples could touch her.

"Well, that's one way to wake up," Erron commented, a smile was hidden behind his mask. The Kollector was biting back the horrible snarl that was about to emerge on his lips. He grinned instead, wondering how much can her body be valuable.
