The Disciples

Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Nitara was in her humble abode, preparing for what was about to be an all-out war.

The vampiress was marvelling at the brew she has created, which she was going to use towards those Disciples and their allies. In a form of rain, her magical brew can corrode most of the soldiers, even through their armour.

She has collected most of the venom from the sacs of dead Zaterrans and unborn Kytinn grubs.Since their venoms were so lethal, she wore gloves to carefully pour her wanted content into the pot to brew her mixture.

"I should be careful not to spill any of this," she murmured to herself. Shao Kahn's promise of a new era excited her. She could rebuild her legion of her own once the war has ended.

She wondered if any of the people who discussed this with the emperor will betray him in the future? She trusted her instincts on that Kytinn queen whose buzz has given the vampiress constant headaches.

"Any luck?" a soft, whispery voice asked. Nitara turned her head to find her blood companion, Skarlet who has returned from speaking with Shang Tsung about the next step of their plan. She was wearing her blood red outfit that was similar to the Edenian women except it was more alluring, perfect to seduce men and women into her deadly trap.

"No," Skarlet shook her head bitterly. "I tried with the odd one and the short woman on the ship with K'oatal and his group but I didn't expect a leviathan monster to grab me. Luckily I managed to escape before it could swallow me. Sea of blood is my domain after all~"

"Let's hope this time my way works," Nitara sighed. "Would be nice to get that Nash boy. If the rumours are true, let's split him in half."

"Or in pints," Skarlet giggled. "His blood must be sweet if he decided to lay many women since his arrival. I'd rather have the lower half~"

Nitara shakes her head at her blood companion's remarks. "Typical from an AB like you. I hope my spell works. They should be dragged down here right about..."

A loud thud was heard and the ground beneath of the women shook.

"...Now!"

But both of the blood magicians' expressions turned from excited to disappointed when they realised who they have dragged down.

"Oh, we got ourselves the brute symbiote, the Lin Kuei boy and Nash's fat sister with her pet."

"Hey! I'm not that fat!"

Both Nitara and Skarlet placed a spell that immobilised the three of them and pet from moving. All they could do was stare at the two blood magicians, unable to move their mouths. Skarlet had a small smile behind her mask.

"We were expecting someone else but you three will have to do," she purred. "Isn't that right, Nitara~"

"Mmm," Nitara nodded before grabbing Riana and Kurt. "I think I want this one as a snack. Especially this-"

A kick to the vampiress' face was enough to break Riana and Kurt out of the immobilised spell. But before the owner and pet could make a run for it, they were both petrified again. Nitara tutted them condescendingly. 

"Honestly, it's useless to try and break free. I'm saving you all of the effort of trying to escape. Since all of you are down here, I think I can make it work."

Azril and Torr watched in horror as Nitara's hands suddenly glowed before grabbing both Riana and Kurt together. Skarlet's giggling in the background wasn't helping the mood either. Azril struggled even with his mouth, trying to speak.

Torr's muffled grunts sounded as if he was being strangled.

But not as much as the ear-piercing scream that was emitted from poor Riana and her beloved pet. Azril's mind quickly went into a flashback from how he was fused to become a soulless cyborg that almost destroyed the Lin Kuei and his friends.
