Mortal Kombat: Fire and Ice

Chapter 7

PAGE ONE

Panel 1: Scorpion and Jade sitting at a table, eating

Scorpion:  Raiden came up with a spell to restore the revenants to their human form. We went to the Netherrealm in order to retrieve all of them. We were able to get most, with the exception of Liu Kang, Kung Lao and Sindel. Had Raiden stood any longer, he would have been completely drained. That realm has a negative effect on his power

Jade: Where is Kitana?

Scorpion: At the Lin Kuei temple. Raiden requested him to watch over her, and he asked me to watch over you. As for where you are, this is the Shirai Ryu temple

Jade: So you restored your clan after all

Scorpion: I did. To answer your last question, I still retain the powers of Scorpion. I think that Hellfire is my curse to bear forever. I try to stray away from that identity

Panel 2: Jade places her hand on top of Scorpions

Jade: You do not have to view it as a curse. There's no need to shun that identity or that power. I believe that you can change the reputation of Scorpion

Panel 3: Scorpion smiles

Scorpion: Maybe you are right Jade

Jade: I know I am Hanzo.  

Scorpion: I see your personality is still the same

Jade: Of course.  I'm glad to see your kinder side as well. I remember you usually were angry and very aggressive, bent on vengeance. But when we spent time working together and I spoke to you, even with all of the evil and sorcery clouding my mind, I knew you were a good person deep down.  You just viewed that power as a means to achieve your goal. But now that you accomplished that goal, you can use that power to protect not only the realm but your clan

Scorpion: I... am just traumatized by what I have done in the past

Panel 4: Jade gets up and hugs Scorpion, before pulling away. The two of them smile

Jade: I am too. But our past actions don't define who we are today. Now, I should go get changed

Scorpion: We will meet outside here

Panel 5: Jade turns and heads to her room, entering and shutting the door.  

Jade: So that's what he looks like as a human. He's so... handsome

Panel 6:  Scorpion finishes washing the dishes and leaves. He appears to be deep in thought

Scorpion: (mentally) She's beautiful... and her smile, her eyes, her personality. I... I feel the same way I did when I met Harumi, when I was around her for that brief amount of time...

Panel 7: Scorpion is interrupted from his thoughts when he hears walking from the right of the hallway. Jade steps into frame, dressed in the clothing that was seen on the chair in her room. A green sleeveless top, black pants, black high heeled boots and black fingerless gloves. The outfit compliments her curvy figure

Jade: Fits perfectly. Thanks Hanzo

Scorpion: Of course Jade. Shall we begin training?

Panel 1: Scorpion and Jade take a fighting stance. They are in a large outside training area

Jade: Don't go easy on me Hanzo

Scorpion: I won't Jade

Panel 2:  Scorpion shoots a fireball at Jade. Jade dodges it and launches herself in the air with her staff,  before she flips and grabs it, slamming it down on the ground. Scorpion dodges and teleports behind Jade. Jade ducks under a roundhouse kick and sweeps Scorpion. Scorpion stops himself by placing his palms on the floor and swinging his body backwards into a standing position. He taps Jade on the jaw with a light jab and smiles.  Jade smiles and throws a right leg kick to Scorpion before following through with a left knee to his midsection. Scorpion answers back with another jab into a right leg kick.
