Mortal Kombat: In the Dark

In the Dark Corners

(October 12, 1992)

 

It's been 4 days since the attack on the Special Forces Facility. Food has been depleting fast. The only people alive here are Me, Stryker, Sgt. Capitol, Hsu Hao, and Metric. Stryker's other partner was sent to look for more supplies for us. That was 2 days ago. We have no time left to be standing here. We already know the layout of the building. We already know the secret to defeating the Oni. We already constructed our escape plan. The time to act is now.

 

"Is everyone prepared for this?" I asked. I didn't add on any type of inspiration. We need to get out of here now. It's do or die.

 

"We really need to gather what supplies is left in this facility. If it's this bad here, imagine what it's like in the streets?" Metric explained as he loaded his SMG. Hsu Hao grabbed his C4. Stryker loaded his Shotgun and Pistol. Sgt. Capitol prepared his Assault rifle. The time has come. NO TURNING BACK!

 

"MOVE!"

At the sound of my command, Stryker kicks open the door of the COM Room. 2 small Oni spot him near the door and rush towards him. I dropped the furthest one with a silent round as Stryker attacks the second Oni with his baton. Our first move was to escape this room and hope that resistance was low. We were lucky. Now that we were out, we began to execute Operation: Reclaim. With that vampire dead, it's least likely that another is nearby controlling these guys, so they can definitely die here for a few hours.

"Hsu Hao, you know what to do. Everyone make sure you stay as close as possible. Capitol and I will search my Office and Jax's room. You all search the armory and the med bay. Be at the Garage in 15 minutes sharp." I commanded. Being a natural leader and all, this will possibly be the easiest job we have.

As everyone disperses, Capital and I rush down the hallway. Multiple Oni were patrolling, but it was nothing that we couldn't handle. I used my hand to hand skills to kill two of the Oni. Capitol charged into the third one and smashed its head into the wall. Another Oni appears out of nowhere and attempts to bite him, but I quickly used my second silencer bullet on the Oni. I have to try and conserve my last bullet because after this one, I'm going to be out of my silencer powder. We quickly opened the door to Jax's office. The Oni really made a mess of this place.

"Spotted anything?" I asked.

"No ma'am." Capitol responded as he began to dig through the piles of stuff the Oni knocked down. I looked inside of the drawers of his office, but I only found a small rag. It was really clean, especially compared to this room.

"I've got a rag. You?" I asked.

"I only found a picture of you and Jax during your promotion. He also left the keys to something." He explained.

"Take them. We may need them."

"You got it." Capitol buried them both in his pocket as he rose up from the floor. We went back in the hall and headed towards my office. As we came near the door, I felt a cold presence behind me.

"Gyah!"

One of them harshly grabbed my arm, scratching it in the process. I tried to attack it without firing my last bullet, but nothing was working. Capitol was busy fending of some other Oni that were heading for us in both directions. It looked like hope was lost, until I remembered that I had another weapon. I pulled out my Garrote wire and wrapped it around the Oni's wrist. With all of my strength, I quickly pulled on the wire fast enough to rip the Oni's wrist off.
