When last we left our would-be hero, Akayama Kaito, he was severely wounded at the hands of an Outworld mutant, a tarkatan named Tortek. He was swiftly rescued by a mysterious woman, Kitana, whom has asked for Kaito's assistance in helping Earthrealm win the tournament, lest the same fate befall Kaito's world as her's.

Her plan is to turn the Lin Kuei and the Black Dragon clans, both of whom have been hired to take out other Earthrealm fighters, against each other. She has identified two targets: a Lin Kuei assassin named Hydro, and a Black Dragon enforcer named Rojack. Once both are dealt with, Kaito will plant evidence on both bodies suggesting that other clan responsible. Kaito has agreed to help with with this plan and has decided to target Rojack first.

After taking an afternoon to recupperate from his injuries by stretching, practicing his moves and preparing himself mentally, Kaito decides that he is ready. Kitana brings to him a simple black face mask and a pair of gloves to better hide his identity.

"Rojack is currently lying in wait to ambush Lt. Sonya Blade," she says to him. "He waits near the bridge that crosses the pit of spikes."

Kaito knows the place. He's been there before.

"Be careful, and good luck," she wishes him before stepping into the shadows and vanishing.

Kaito slides the mask and gloves on and prepares himself for what comes next.

>A) Ambush Rojack at the pit before Sonya arrives
>B) Wait for Sonya and help her fight Rojack off
>C) Seek out help from someone else, like Johnny Cage

>>39570193
>A) Ambush Rojack at the pit before Sonya arrives
Let's finish him quickly. I guess we shouldn't knock him off the bridge so he can actually be found and retrieved?

Here's the archive OP: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Mortal+Kombat+Konquest

>>39570297

Well, we could always fetch him from down below at the bottom of the pit. Surely there could be no danger there--who would hide at the bottom of a pit, right?

Kaito decides that it would be best to do this quickly and efficiently. He takes off, following some of the same trails he travelled when he first arrived on the island until he finds the bridge that spans the spiked chasm below.

With his eyes keen and focused, he carefully surveys the area, searching for Rojack.

Let's have a 1d100 to see if Kaito sees him first or if he sees Kaito first.

Kaito can SMELL him before even seeing him.

Climbing up some of the rocks, he looks down and sees Rojack lying in wait over one of the bridge entrances, smoking a cigar.

Kitana was right about him not being very intelligent.

Kaito is in a perfect position to attack from here.

Since he's got the drop on him, let's have a 1d100+20 and an action to go along with it.

Kaito sneaks up, intending to get a quick kill--but misteps at the last moment. With a "huh?" Rojack turns and manages to tighten his neck as Kaito gets his hands around it. He grabs onto Kaito's wrists and grunts.

"Ack! Get--get offa me!" he chokes out.

From his position atop Rojack, Kaito can see him reaching down for a knife.

Let's have a 1d100 and an action to go along with it to see how successful he is at stopping him.

With his knee, Kaito pins Rojack's arm to the ground, preventing him from pulling out the knife. Focusing all of his weight on the man's neck, he pushes down and down until Rojack's eyes roll up into the back of his head.

Kaito takes a moment to breathe over his first kill before taking a small symbol from his body, that of the Black Dragon clan.

'Remember, it's for a good cause,' he thinks to himself, steadying his nerves. It might not have been as clean as he would have liked, but the man is dead and that's all that counts now.

But now, how to hide the body until he can plant the Lin Kuei symbol on it?

>A) Throw it into the pit

Kaito takes some time to drag the body up the mountain, hiding it behind some rocks. He hopes that nobody will find it up here, but this is a very secluded area and there isn't any blood trail to follow, so it should be safe.

Next up, Hydro, the Lin Kuei assassin. His current objective is to murder the Earthrealm warrior Liu Kang. According to Kitana's information, he is hiding somewhere in the caves below the island, near a body of water.

Evidently, he himself has the power to manipulate water. How he uses this in battle is yet to be seen.

Kaito climbs down the rockface and gets back on the bridge, and as he does, he bumps into a blonde woman--the same one he met on the docks! Could this be Sonya Blade?

Although now she's wearing green yoga pants and a rather tight-fighting green shit... Quite tasteful, actually.

"Hey!" she says, seeing the Black Dragon symbol in your hand. "You... you're Black Dragon! You're going to take me to Kano, RIGHT NOW!"

"Woah, wait a minute, I'm not--"

Too late! She's made up her mind and charging!

Kaito attempts to fight her off, but Sonya is a most accomplished fighter. In-between blocking her high kicks and punches, he tries to explain who he is.

"Listen to me! I'm not with the Black Dragon!"

"Anything to avoid imprisonment! You Black Dragon thugs are all alike!"

She twists and kicks Kaito in the chest, forcing him back down towards the center of the pit-spanning bridge.

"You're not going to get away with your crimes!" she shouts as she charges once more.

Kaito attempts to put her in a hold to explain what is going on, but she reverses it, managing to wrap both of her thighs around his neck in a stunning backflip maneuver.

As enticing as such a position would sound under normal conditions, he had little doubt that she could snap his neck if she so chose.

"Talk, damn you!" she commands. "WHERE IS KANO!"

Before Kaito can manage a response, she is blasted with a red laser beam. Her grip on Kaito loosens and she falls backwards.

"'Ello baby, did'ju miss me?" a familiar voice reaches your ears. Kano.

Standing on the other side of you on the bridge, he approaches and helps you up to your feet. "Well, if it isn't my boy from the docks, eh? Whattaya say ya help me with another little problem like before?"

Kano takes out a large bowie knife and looks down at Sonya.

Kaito instead whips around and attacks Kano, surprising him with a flurry of quick and brutal blows. Sonya leaps up to her feet and helps him, kicking Kano in the chest and face.

Kano is rendered into a state of dizziness by the assault. Kaito steps back as Sonya grabs hold of his collar.

"You killed my partner, you bastard," she spits. "I have orders to take you in... but I should kill you right now. End this once and for all. You heartless son of a bitch..."

She holds him near the edge of the pit.

Kaito looks on.

She falters for a moment, thinking hard on your words. She sighs and headbutts Kano into unconsciousness, dropping him to the ground alongside her. "You're right," she says. "Thank you for reminding me of what I'm not."

She turns to look at Kaito. "But who are you, exactly? Attacking Kano tells me that you really aren't Black Dragon, so what's your story?"

"My name is Akayama Kaito. Say, what do you know about Earth being a realm and half of this tournament thing?"

She looks somewhat surprised. "On the boat, I spoke with an old man who claimed to be the god of thunder and lightning. He told me that Outworld and its Emperor are trying to conquer all of Earth through this... contest. I don't know if I believe all of that, but still... I've seen some strange things on this island."

Kaito holds up the Black Dragon symbol. ""I'm trying to get two groups to fight each other to get rid of some competition. The Black Dragon and the Lin Kuei. You in?"

"The Lin Kuei... I fought one of them earlier. I'd like to help you, but I'm busy with a mission of my own. Now that I have Kano, half of it is finished. I'm looking for my SO, Major Jackson Briggs. Big guy. He's held captive somewhere on this island. Seen him?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Then we'll have to split up for now. Good luck to you, Kaito. Maybe we'll meet again."

Kaito waves and walks off as she cuffs Kano.

Now, to find Hydro. Kaito descends into the caverns and prepares to search for the Lin Kuei assassin, hoping that he isn't too late due to the battle between Kano and Sonya.

Kaito follows the underground caves until he reaches an exit that leads to the gardens he explored on his first day on the island. Once within, he hides behind some bushes.

He sneaks up on a meeting in progress between two blue-clad ninja-looking warriors, one of whom is the one Kaito saw freeze a warrior during the feast on the first day.

"You have your orders from the Grand Master?" he asks the other.

"Yes, Sub-Zero. Sektor and Cyrax are pursuing their objectives, as am I. Liu Kang is being lured to these gardens as we speak by servants of Shang Tsung."

"Good. Be wary... this place is full of enemies, even for the Lin Kuei."

"I will not fail you."

"I know you will not, Hydro. I must go now... a ghost is shadowing me."

"Do you mean...?"

"I will not dignify the spectre or his dead clan by speaking his name. If this apparition means to kill me, I will simply tear out its spine a second time."

Sub-Zero leaves Hydro, who approaches one of the nearby fountains. He sits and meditates near it.

Hydro leaps back, rubbing his cheek. "Not bad... but you're not facing any ordinary warrior!"

Kaito shouts as he descends upon Hydro, his fists like lightning as he brutally tears through Hydro's defense. He smashes his hands into the man's face and chest repeatedly, forcing him back. His fingers are like claws, tearing through the black and blue fabric and cutting into the skin from the sheer ferocity of Kaito's attacks.

Hydro is on the defensive but Kaito's relentless Bloody Hands style lives up to its name as his fists become covered in his opponent's blood. He cracks a rib, a jawbone, a clavicle in three swift punches.

Hydro holds up an arm but Kaito catches it, bending it backwards and slamming his knee into the elbow, snapping it. Next, his right hand shoots into Hydro's face and stabs into the man's eye, gouging it out.

Hydro falls back, shouting and gasping in breathless pain as Kaito stands over his opponent, blood dripping down his arms. He pants heavily and prepares to finish the job.

But before he can, he hears someone coming. Could it be Liu Kang? Another member of the Lin Kuei?

A Chinese warrior rounds the corner, wearing baggy black pants. He throws up his fists. "Who are you?"

Kaito stands up and drops the Black Dragon symbol on the body. "You must be Liu Kang," he says through his mask. "This man was going to kill you, or try to at least. I took care of him."

Liu looks suspiciously at the dead Lin Kuei warrior. "If what you say is true, then you have my gratitude. But who are you?"

Seeing as how he could connect Kaito to the body, he decides to keep it secret for now. "Just a friend. I need to go handle something. Watch your back."

Kaito runs away to find Kitana.

"You there! Master Shang Tsung is looking for you! You will come with us immediately!"

Kaito is not so sure he is ready to go meet the man who sent a tarkatan to kill him.

Kaito walks past the window and is led into the Throne Room. There, an old man sits upon a grand red and golden throne.

The red carpet leading up to it is lined with golden trimming and the room itself is decorated with many tapestries depicting the dragon symbol Kaito has seen many times since his arrival.

But who is this old man in the purple robes? Surely not Shang Tsung? Kaito has seen him, he is younger than this... much younger.

He is forced onto his knees by one of the masked guards.

"Akayama Kaito... you were supposed to have died in my forest."

"And just who are you, old man?"

"Appearances are always deceiving, are they not?" the elder cackles. "Like your own. Remove your mask."

Kaito does so and discards it.

Shang Tsung strokes his long, thin, grey beard. "Now, the question remains... what to do with you. You lost the battle against my watchdog, and yet you still live. I could kill you now, but instead, I offer you a choice."

Kaito pauses. "I'm listening."

"Pledge yourself to the Emperor of Outworld, and myself. Fight for his armies and become a warrior with no equal. Honor and glory will be heaped upon your name, and when Earthrealm is conquered, all who assisted the Emperor will be granted a domain within Outworld to rule over in his name. Or..."

"Or?"

"Or die against the very beast I sent to kill you in the first place, and then your soul will be mine."

The doors nearby open and the tarkatan, Tortek, emerges. He looks upon Kaito and snarls.

"The choice is yours, Akayama Kaito. Glory in life... or Mortal Kombat."

"And if I fight that thing and win?"

"Then you will have won a match for your realm, and will be free to go. Of course, the offer goes with it. Well...? Choose your destiny."

Shang Tsung's eyes narrow and his grip tightens on his chair's armrests.

"SO BE IT!" he cries. "You shall not die on your knees. You shall die impaled on the ends of my watchdog's blades. TORTEK! Finish what you started."

The tarkatan's blades emerge from his forearms and he sharpens them, creating a show of sparks. "Yes, master."

"What must it be like, living no greater life than being a hound for your master?" Kaito asks, standing opposite the tarkatan before the throne.

"What must it be like, knowing you will die at the hands of a hound?" the beast replies in a show of surprising wit.

Kaito goes in, hoping to earn an early arm-breaking maneuver. Tortek surprises him with a new trick as he scrapes his blades together and creates a projectile of sparks that hits Kaito square in the chest, knocking him back and off-balance.

The tarkatan is on him in an instant, trying to impale him on his blades. Kaito regains his footwork and dodges each attempt as they fight their way across the throne room.

The tartakan smiles as he locks arms with Kaito, each pushing against the other.

"Are you prepared to die? No one will save you this time!"

Kaito grunts and brings a knee up into the smug mutant's jaw, knocking out a tooth.

"You'll grow more, I'm sure," he says as the tarkatan charges again.

Forgot my trip. Have to drop it to post in other threads.

and thats another thing i never got. even if outworld wins the tornoment and tries to invade earth, they wouldnt succed. they use primitve "still fights with melee weapons tactics." once the governemts of earth realize that these morons are serious, they will shower hell on the outworld forces ala drone strikes, artillery, tanks, and the automatic rifle. we would have outworld salsa b4 u can say "flawless victory"

Kaito catches the tarkatan's arms and deflects him aside. Raising one hand up high, he shouts as he brings it down on one of the monster's blades, snapping it in half!

The monster cries out as one of its weapons is literally torn from its body. Kaito follows up with a furious series of lightning-quick strikes against the monster's exposed face and chest, then grabs the other arm and, much like he did to Hydro, bends it backwards and slams his knee into it, snapping it.

The tarkatan cries out in pain in a guttural gurgling as its mouth snaps at Kaito, trying to bite him. Kaito drops him to the floor and walks over to the blade he previously broke off.

He holds it aloft like a sword and points it at the tarkatan's neck.

It chokes out words. "Wait... wait, spare me! I will serve you! I swear it on my life!"

Shang Tsung looks on in disgust. "FINISH HIM!" the sorcerer shouts.

>>39576514

Well, I'm not one to deny the people.

Kaito turns the blade aside and looks up at Shang Tsung. "I defeated it in Mortal Kombat. If I do not kill him, can I instead take his service?"

Shang Tsung scowls. "Yes, this is allowed. He owes you his life now, the pitiful wretch."

Kaito looks down at him. "Swear it, then."

"I... I swear! I serve you, only you!"

Shang Tsung sighs and stands. "This battle is finished. The sun dips low and the moon rises soon. Tomorrow, the great kombat resumes... and I grow weary of these humans winning. It is time we awoke our champion."

Kaito looks up at the old sorcerer. "Prince Goro?"

Shang Tsung says nothing and pays him no heed as he walks away with his fox-masked guards behind him.

"Hey, wait, can't you heal my, uh, servant?"

"He's yours now. You deal with him."

The doors shut behind the sorcerer and Kaito looks down at the tarkatan with the broken arm.

"Can you walk?"

The mutant gets up on its feet.

"Alright then. I suppose I have to figure out what to do with you."

Kaito picks him up and helps him along. "So, what's it like in Outworld?"

"It smells better there," he sneers. "More blood on the wind and corpses on the ground."

"Yeah, must be nice in the spring." Kaito looks around the palace hall. 'Now, where could Kitana be...'

He walks around the palace, looking for her, while speaking to Tortek. "So, who is the leader of the tarkatans?"

"The Emperor rules all tarkatans! But Baraka leads them! He is the strongest, the most fearsome!"

"Besides the Emperor, right?"

"None are greater than the Emperor!"

"Right. Sounds like a great guy."

Kaito slips a hand into his pocket and feels the Lin Kuei symbol he stole off of Hydro during their fight and remembers that he needs to finish the frame job.

"Follow me, Tortek."

"As you command, master."

Out of the palace, Kaito leads his new lackey to the mountain he hid Rojack's body on. He plants the Lin Kuei symbol on it, but as he prepares to move it, he looks down at the bridge and sees someone fighting on it.

It looks like Johnny Cage fighting some green-clad warrior!

Kaito tells Tortek to use his one good arm to drag the body down the mountain and not to nibble on it. He then runs down the path as carefully as he can and leaps onto the bridge and runs up to Johnny just as the green-clad warrior knocks him on his back.

The ninja steps back as Kaito helps Johnny up to his feet. "Hey, thanks," he says. "Hey, I remember you! You're that guy from the docks! How's it going, buddy?"

The green ninja hisses (hisses?) out a warning, its hands coiling and moving like snakes.

"Oh, yeah, this guy," Johnny says nonchalantly. "I think he's a fan."

Kaito gets into a combat-ready pose, but the ninja, not up to facing two opponents at once, instead vanishes, its skin and clothing becoming transparent until nothing remains, and then it is gone.

Johnny clasps you on the shoulder. "Good work! We scared him off. I mean, I had the whole thing under control, but your help is appreciated. Oh, here!"

He takes out a photo of himself and signs it, "To my best fan! -Johnny Cage"

"I'd frame that," he says with a smile as he hands it to Kaito and walks off.

"Hey, wait, where are you going?"

"There's a smokin' hot blonde and a thunder god waiting for me," Johnny says, and Kaito can't tell if he's joking. "Catch you later!"

Kaito turns back to see Tortek having dragged the body to the bridge. "That's good there," he tells the tarkatan. "Now let's get out of here."

But where to find Kitana?

Since she wasn't in the room Kaito woke up in when he explored the palace, he decides instead to explore the outlying regions of the island.

There, he encounters someone strange, an old, fat drunkard. "Hello, hello my friend!" the man calls over to him and Tortek. "Come, come! Share with me in my rice wine! Outworld's finest, or as fine as they can get it, haahahah!" He holds aloft a large gourd that sloshes with drink.

>A) Share a drink with the man

Kaito sits across from the man while his tarkatan lackey lingers behind.

The man eyes the tarkatan with suspicion. "You are of Earthrealm. What do you have a mutant of the wastelands of Outworld following you for?"

"He's in my service. I beat him."

"Yes, that I can see!" the man laughs. "I am Master Bo' Rai Cho, of Outworld."

"You're in the tournament?"

"Oh, no! I merely observe. I do not wish to see Earthrealm conquered."

Tortek grunts. "And I've fought and beaten many a tarkatan in my time!" Bo' adds.

"So, what are you doing here, then, out on the beaches?"

"I do not live near the sea where I come from. I enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. Now, come, come! Drink!"

He pours from his gourd into a wooden cup and hands it to Kaito. After a moment, he drinks it and coughs it up. "Hahah! A bit strong, perhaps, but you'll work up the gut for it."

Kaito nods. "Maybe. Maybe."

Kaito hands Tortek the drink, and the mutant eagerly gulps it down.

Bo' lets out a single chuckle. "Never thought I would share my wine with a tarkatan, but if he is yours, I will allow it."

He pours the tarkatan another drink, and soon, the beast is fast asleep, snoring off in the sand.

"So, where are you from in Outworld?"

Bo' shakes his head and waves. "I live by myself in a small cottage, not far from a few more peaceful villages."

"There are peaceful places in Outworld?"

"The Emperor hasn't conquered all of Outworld. He would rather focus his attention on larger targets, like other realms. I myself enjoy coming to Earthrealm for visits and training prospective students."

"Like who?"

"I have often taught at the Wu Shi Academy in China. A wonderful school, it is, though few there share my love of wine! Liu Kang and Kung Lao are two of my greatest students. They are in this tournament."

"I have met Liu Kang," Kaito replies. "...Sort of. It was very brief."

"Much rests upon his shoulders. Perhaps all of Earthrealm, but then again, we all have a part to play."

"Can you help me fight the Outworld warriors? Train me like you did the others?"

Bo' Rai Cho looks at Kaito up and down. "You are a fighter, there is no doubt about it. But this is not the time nor place. Perhaps, when this is done, you could travel to the Wu Shi Academy and train there yourself. If I am there as well, I would teach you."

"What about Outworld? How big is it?"

"Outworld has absorbed so many realms... Edenia, the lands of the Osh-Tekk, Zaterra, Vaeternus, the Kytinn realm, the homeworlds of the shokan and the centaurians... I cannot say how large it is, truly. Even before the current Emperor, in the time of the reign of the Dragon King, Outworld has conquered and absorbed other realms. Perhaps its size know no bounds, much like the ambitions of those who rule it."

"And the... Elder Gods? They put this tournament format in place?"

Bo' nods. "One tournament every fifty years. Ten straight victories. Outworld has won nine against Earthrealm... thanks to its champion, Goro, and that cursed sorcerer Shang Tsung."

"Do you have a map of Outworld?"

Bo' unrolls a scroll from behind him. "It is not complete, but here are some of its lands."

Kaito takes it and studies it for a moment.

>>39578162
>>39578178

"I'm looking for a woman. Her name is Kitana. Have you seen her?"

Bo' Rai Cho leans back. "Oh... Kitana. I know of her, but I have not seen her." He strokes his beard, suddenly suspicious. "What manner of business might you have with the Emperor's daughter, hm?"

Kaito's eyes widen in surprise. "H-his daughter?"

"Yes, she is Princess Kitana, and quite old. Thousands of years, in fact."

"Well... she looks like she's done well for herself for being thousands of years old," Kaito jokes. "She... she saved my life and wants to help me save Earthrealm from the same fate that befell her home."

Bo' nods. "I see... but can she be truly trusted? She is an assassin of great skill, but sometimes weapons of steel are not enough..."

"What are you suggesting? That she's manipulating me?"

"I wouldn't put it past a daughter of the Emperor."

"I... have killed two men for her."

"I see."

Is what the old drunk is saying true? Could Kitana be manipulating Kaito?

He thinks hard on this.

"Make your choices carefully, young one," Master Bo' advises. "And always be on your guard when dealing with women. Haha!"

He rolls over and seems to go to sleep.

Kaito does the same.

When morning comes, Master Bo' Rai Cho is nowhere to be seen. Tortek is still lying nearby, snoring loudly through his large teeth.

In the distance, a great gong rings. Something is happening in Shang Tsung's palace courtyard. The next stage of the tournament?

Day four on the island begins.

Kaito wakes up Tortek and heads to the Courtard. There, many have gathered, including most of the remaining Earthrealm fighters. Another gong rings and Shang Tsung stands from his throne overlooking the courtyard.

"Kombatants! It has been nearly a century since our champion has had to personally face an opponent on the field. Today, that changes! He desires a challenge! Any who wish to face the mighty Prince Goro may now do so!"

The gong rings a third time, and a massive set of doors slides open. A roar is heard throughout all of the courtyard, loud and calling for blood.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t4vnmTyono

On the other side stands Prince Goro, over eight feet tall and with four massive, muscled arms. The warrior prince roars again as he strides into the courtyard with an entourage of warriors behind him, chanting the name, "GORO! GORO! GORO!"

Kaito looks on at the four-armed monster as he climbs into the courtyard arena and looks upon the Earthrealm warriors. "Who among you," he bellows, "is man enough to face GORO! Prince of the subterranean realm of the shokan, general of the armies of Outworld! For five hundred years have I remained undefeated, just as I will for the next five hundred years!"

Kaito looks around and sees Kitana, watching from the shadows. She makes eye contact with him and urges him over.

Kaito slips away as the first foolish human steps forth to oppose Goro. As he does, he makes his way through the crowd and over to Kitana, who is hidden behind a column, and wearing a blue veil over her face.

"Your mission, was it successful?"

"It was, but I don't think you've been completely honest with me, your highness."

"So you know... Yes, I am royalty. But I was that long before the Emperor adopted me."

"Adopted? You're not biologically related to him?"

"No. I am sorry for not telling you sooner, but secrecy is a valuable thing. There is more work to be done yet; the Black Dragon and the Lin Kuei will be pre-occupied with each other, but there is someone else who must be dealt with. My instincts tell me the tournament will end tonight and one last piece of the puzzle must be found."

"Let's not be too hasty, Princess. I'd like to know how you were royalty before becoming the Emperor's adopted daughter."

"My family once ruled from a realm called Edenia. My father, the true king of Edenia, was murdered, and my mother made to marry the Emperor of Outworld. This happened when I was but a child. My mother later died. I have never seen my homeworld, or if I did I cannot remember it, but I am told it was a beautiful place. Now my adoptive father seeks to do the same to your world, and I would see him denied."

"So, then what's this 'last piece of the puzzle' you mentioned?"

"One obstacle remains that will prevent Earthrealm from being victorious. A wildcard in the tournament, one who fights for neither Earthrealm nor Outworld, but on the behalf of a forsaken realm known as the Netherrealm."

"And who is he?"

"He is a hellspawn spectre known as Scorpion, and he must be stopped. I have devised a trap that we may be able to lure him into while the others are busy watching Goro's spectacle."

Nearby, the four-armed prince picks up a human and snaps his back like a candy bar.

"I am not sure if my plan will succeed, but if it does, Scorpion will be removed from Shang Tsung's island and unable to return."

"So, what do we need to do?"

"Scorpion is here at the tournament for only one reason, the death of Sub-Zero. We need to lure Sub-Zero into the palace dungeons, where Scorpion will confront him. While they battle, you must place the necklace you stole from Shang Tsung's tower upon the spectre's neck."

She takes it out and hands it to Kaito.

"And I take it he won't make it easy on me?"

"No. He is a trained ninja, the last of the Shirai Ryu. But this necklace will banish him back to his new home plane--the Netherrealm."

>A) Go find Sub-Zero and lure him to the dungeons

"Scorpion has already planned a trap for Sub-Zero in the dungeons. Therein, he plans to ambush and murder the man."

Kaito holds up the necklace. "And what of this? Was this made specifically to banish creatures? Is there a spell?"

"There is a spell, yes, and it is placed upon the necklace. The stone within it is known as a stone of passage--it allows one to walk between the realms, with the right magic. In this instance, I have placed a spell upon it to send someone to their home realm the instant they put it on. With it, we can send Scorpion back to the Netherrealm, long enough to stop him from killing anyone else in the tournament."

Kaito looks at the stone. "So then, how do I get Sub-Zero to follow me to the dungeons?"

"Tell him that the man who murdered Hydro will be waiting there for him. It isn't technically a lie, is it?"

"I suppose not. I'll go find him."

"Good luck to you, Akayama Kaito. You have my gratitude for your help."

"Hey, all for Earth, right?"

Kaito pockets the stone and seeks out Sub-Zero in the crowd.

He is stopped by a warrior in red and a warrior in yellow, both of whom bear the symbol of the Lin Kuei. "Halt!" the red one speaks. "Nobody approaches the Lin Kuei."

"I thought you'd be interested to know that the ones who murdered your friend, Hydro, are in the palace dungeons, plotting their next move against you right now."

They look at each other. "And how do you know this? Are you their envoy?"

"No. Just an ally looking out for you."

Kaito leaves, but then sees a group along the outlying crowd wearing the symbol of the Black Dragon, no doubt looking for their leader, Kano.

>A) Head to the dungeons

why do we have to kill scorpian again. how will it help earthrealm. we should have asked her. anyway should we send the blackdragons as well. maybe we can use the confusion to put it on scorpion

2 for getting the Black Dragons involved in the brawl.
>>39579297
>>39579360
2 for going there without them.

We'll need another tie breaker.

its only one for the blackdragons. that was my comment but i wasnt endorsing the blackdragon option

>>39579427

Ah, I read it as "we should" rather than "should we"

My bad.

I'll write the next part now.

>>39579395
>B) Get the Black Dragon to go to the dungeons as well

Time for the clusterfuck of the century.

Kaito heads to the dungeons, ignoring the Black Dragons. They'd only complicate matters.

Once within, he sneaks around, past skeletons hanging from chains on the walls. Thankfully, these ones do not attempt to attack him.

Deeper, he finds a large chamber and hides off to one side, waiting for Sub-Zero to appear.

He hears a growling sound, and then a pair of eyes stare out at him from the darkness, blinking. One of them rushes forward to attack!

The blue monster looks like a gorilla with no hair. Beneath its three yellow eyes is a drooling mouth.

It pounds its fists into its chest and charges forward.

Looks like Scorpion and Sub-Zero are going to have to wait!

>Let's have a 1d100 and an action to go along with it.

>>39579576

Oh yes, and Tortek is here with us as well, we cannot forget him.

Rolled 85 (1d100)

tell tortek to get around him and stab him in the back while we distract him.

>>39579697

Kaito dodges to the side as the lumbering beast runs into the pillar he was standing next to. It whips around, keeping him squarely in its sights. "Stab it from behind!" Kaito orders, knowing the tarkatan has one working arm.

As the monster runs again, Tortek does as he is ordered and impales the monster's leg, forcing it down onto a knee. It turns and swats at Tortek's injured arm, forcing him backwards with a painful howl.

Kaito kicks the beast in the face and prepares for another attack.

>1d100 and an action

Rolled 30 (1d100)

dodge. kick the injured leg, get on its back and twist the head

fuck u dice

>>39579822
I agree with this series of actions.

Rolled 21 (1d100)

>>39579839
wow no roll wtf...

>>39579822

Kaito attempts to kick the monster's injured leg but instead is knocked down as the beast tackles him to the floor.

Now atop him, it begins pummeling its large, meaty fists down on his face. He tries blocking most of them, but the creature is strong.

Tortek manages to get up and stab the creature's side, giving Kaito an opportunity to escape. The human rolls to the side as the monster once more puts Tortek down with a bunch to the face. Now the tarkatan is unconscious.

Kaito reaches behind him and takes out the broken tarkatan blade he took from Tortek's forearm and holds it out in front of him like a sword.

>1d100 and an action!

Rolled 30 (1d100)

roll if he tries to tackle. sidestep if punch. quick stab the elbow. and then the neck

WTF

I'm siding with this guy, it seems like a good plan of attack.

Kaito fails to sidestep the attack, but manages to stab his blade into the creature's chest as it tackles him again. The weight of the beast itself is able to drive the weapon clean through to the other side.

Kaito struggles and pushes the dead creature off of himself and stands. He looks at the unconscious tarkatan and is about to go to him when he hears a noise.

Poking his head out from behind a column, he sees Sub-Zero defending himself from a yellow-clad ninja with white eyes.

"I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD!" Scorpion shouts, vanishing in a gout of flames and appearing behind Sub-Zero.

The ice warrior covers himself in a protective layer of frost, which blocks Scorpion's attack. The ice breaks and he rolls forward, creating a sword of ice that he uses to attack the spectre with.

Kaito reaches into his pocket and takes out the necklace.

>A) Wait and see how the battle ends
>B) Quickly jump in and try to place the necklace around Scorpion's neck
>C) Help Scorpion finish off Sub-Zero

A

Let's have a 1d100 to see how successful Kaito is in placing the necklace around Scorpion's neck.

Scorpion intercepts Kaito's attempt at getting near him with a kick to the chest, followed by a roundhouse that knocks Kaito aside.

"Stay out of my battle, fool! Sub-Zero will die by my hand, and nothing will stop me!"

Sub-Zero follows up with a dropkick to Scorpion's back. The two resume their brawl, but an opportune moment arrives when Sub-Zero is stabbed by a kunai at the end of a chain thrown stabbed into his chest--the Lin Kuei warrior freezes it, and with it, Scorpion.

Kaito takes the necklace in hand and realizes that this may be the only opportunity he has to get it around Scorpion's neck!

He leaps forward, throwing the necklace. It flies through the air and lands on Scorpion's head, spinning slightly as it hooks around the frozen warrior, before settling around his neck.

Suddenly, a great gust of wind picks up as a swirling vortex leading to the Netherrealm opens up behind the undead ninja. Scorpion breaks out of his icy prison as he is pulled towards it.

"NO! VEANGEANCE WILL BE MINE!" he cries, holding onto the chain that is still embedded in Sub-Zero. "IF I AM TO GO TO HELL... I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME!"

Kaito looks up as Scorpion slides into the portal, pulled by skeletal burning hands.

He has a chance to save Sub-Zero.

>A) Let Scorpion take him to hell, you've played your part
>B) Save Sub-Zero's life

A) ge deserves it

>>39580361

>B) Save Sub-Zero's life.

>>39580361
>B

>>39580361
>A
Fuck Sub-Zero, Scorpion deserves his fight!

>>39580361

>B) Save Sub-Zero's life.

If only so he'll be confused when he inevitably finds out we killed Hydro.

we should leave sub zero to his fate.otherwise scorpian will be back to kill him again

>>39580594
Shit, we did kill Hydro, huh?

All the more reason to let Scorpion take him.

>>39580397
>>39580469
>>39580604
>>39580622

Kaito watches as Sub-Zero is pulled to the portal and the hands take hold of him, pulling him inside. The portal closes afterwards, and any hint of Sub-Zero or Scorpion is gone.

Kaito picks himself up and walks over to Tortek, nudging him slightly. The tarkatan groans and awakens shortly thereafter.

"Come on. Let's get out of these caves."

Kaito helps him up and they both walk out of the dungeon, heading back towards the surface.

Once outside in the gardens again, they survey the area. It is the late afternoon now; in a few hours, the sun will be at the horizon.

There is a meeting occurring nearby. Johnny Cage is speaking to Shang Tsung.

"Challenging Goro, eh? You weren't supposed to fight him now." the sorcerer smiles. "Are you that eager to die?"

"I'm not the one who's gonna die."

Kaito and Tortek sneak closer and listen in.

"I see. You're very foolish. The true sign of a hero. You want to protect your friends, but make no mistake--they too will die, after Goro destroys you."

Johnny doesn't falter. "So what's the problem?"

>A) Jump in and volunteer to fight Goro instead
>B) Let Johnny fight Goro
>C) Sneak away and never reveal yourself

B and C

our task for kitana is done. lets get out reward and read the book of magic we found in the tower and explore the island. so we can get stronger

>>39580729

>A) Jump in and volunteer to fight Goro instead.

This is more interesting in my opinion. Besides, we like Johnny.

>>39580799
we should get the weapns and armor from kitana first

>>39580808

Thats a fair point, I had forgotten we had asked her for those.

>>39580799
>>39580808
>>39580839

But is it worth it to take on Goro? I mean, Johnny would stand a pretty good chance, if the OP is taking classic power levels into account.

>>39580849

We don't have any idea about his strength though, and I believe we still feel a little guilty for running off to explore instead of helping him get his luggage out of the water.

Well, it's getting to be that time again. It's only 6:30 PM where I'm at, but it's very, very early in the states and most of the players in this thread are probably off to bed.

We can continue the quest of our friend Kaito next weekend. Here's a poll for that last choice for anyone who doesn't get a chance to put their input in:

http://strawpoll.me/4210191
