Pov : *tsang sung appeared and attacked me*
Me : i slammed to the ground *agh
Things turned very quickly and cunningly. Just as everyone's attention was on your argument with Raiden, an explosion of green flame hit your back from the shadows.
Shang Tsung didn't really leave. The witch is just waiting for the moment where your vigilance decreases. Your body bounced violently and hit the ground with flying dust.
"AGH!" your moans echoed throughout the camp.
"You're too naïve, Player!" shouted Shang Tsung, soaring through the air with hands filled with dark green glowing soul energy. "You think I'm going to just hand over the throne of Outworld to this disgusting clone just because of your orders? I am the one who killed the emperor, so I am the one who has the right to be the Emperor!"
Mileena screamed hysterically seeing you fall. "POCKET!!" It shot like a bullet towards Shang Tsung, but the witch released a binding magic that left Mileena glued in the air.
Raiden, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao were surprised, yet they hesitated to move. To them, this is an internal conflict of the Outworld that you created yourself.
"Look at yourself now," Shang Tsung taunted as he walked over to you who was still on the ground. He points his hand to your head, ready to suck your soul. "Without that 'game' knowledge, you're just a weak human whose flesh will rot in this desert."
Blood dripped from your lips, and your gaze was slightly blurred. Shang Tsung laughed triumphantly, feeling that he could finally snatch the control of destiny from your hands.
Me : Tang sung? What do you mean *I'm lying on the ground *the tsung holding his sword*
The blood tasted salty on your lips as you tried to catch your breath, staring at the tip of Shang Tsung's cold shining sword right in front of your eyes. The wizard laughed sarcastically, his face that had previously seemed submissive was now full of madness and lust for power.
"What do I mean?" Shang Tsung hissed, swinging his sword deftly. "I mean that... a pawn can never rule the player forever, Zak. You gave me the key to kill Shao Kahn, and now that key has opened the throne door for me, not for this disgusting clone!"
He stomped on your chest with his boots, pressing your lungs until you coughed. Mileena screamed hysterically, struggling in the green magic bonds that locked her in the air. "LET HIM GO, YOU ROTTEN SNAKE! ZAK!!"
Raiden and Liu Kang just stood sculpting. Raiden held his wand tightly, his eyes glowing with doubt. "This is a consequence of ruining the timeline, Zak. The vacuum of power always invites more greedy demons."
Shang Tsung raised his sword high, a magical green light enveloping his steel blade. "Goodbye, 'The Player'. Your soul will be the most precious collection in my hands. Your knowledge of the world... will be mine completely!"
The sword began to swing down towards your neck—an execution that seemed impossible to avoid.
Pov : *My Heart Is Stabbed By The Tsung*
Warm blood gushed from your chest as Shang Tsung's sword blade pierced through your heart. An overwhelming pain hit your consciousness, making your world instantly blurry and cold. The sound of Mileena's screams broke out, shrieking across the Outworld sky—a sound of despair so pure that its vibrations cracked the binding magic that held her captive.
"NOTHINGAAAAAK!!"
Mileena lunged forward like a wild monster, her fangs sticking out completely, no longer caring about protocol or the throne. He rushed towards Shang Tsung with a rage that could set the entire universe on fire.
Shang Tsung laughed visibly, pulling his sword from your chest with a violent jerk. "Your soul... it's finally mine!" He raised his hand, trying to suck the essence of life out of the gaping wound in your chest.
However, something strange happened. Since you are "The Player", your soul is not shaped like the souls of the other inhabitants of Outworld. When Shang Tsung tried to touch him, his hand was burned by a dazzling white light—a power from another dimension that he couldn't master.
Raiden finally moved, his blue lightning striking Shang Tsung until it bounced away. "Enough! You won't touch souls that don't belong to this world!"
Mileena knelt beside you, clutching your drooping head. He presses the wound on your chest with trembling hands, your blood soaking his expensive purple clothes. "Pocket... Stay with me! You can't go! You promised to punish me if I was naughty... wake up, Zak! Punish me! Do anything, but don't leave me!"
Tears fell from his yellow eyes, drenching your cheeks that were starting to pale. On the verge of death, you see the faces of Kitana and Jade approaching with faces full of regret and sorrow.
"This timeline... It's completely destroyed," whispered Liu Kang as he lowered his head listlessly.
Pov : *Instantly Tsang Sung and Shao Kahn who were said to be dead got up.. With his entire army, goro, reiko*
The blood flowing from your chest seemed to be a tumbal that triggered the most forbidden black magic in Outworld. The horizon suddenly turned a terrible deep green, and the thunderous laughter you were so familiar with shook the foundations of the campground.
Shao Kahn rose from the pile of dust, his helmet intact again, his aura much bigger and bloodthirstier than before. Next to him, Shang Tsung stands tall with a cunning grin—it turns out that his death is just a magic trick to lure you to your weakest point.
"You think you can kill an Emperor with cheap tricks, kid?" Shao Kahn's voice trembled violently.
From behind the hill, thousands of armor-masked troops appeared. Goro stepped forward with his four burly arms, smashing huge boulders in his path, while Reiko led the cavalry with bloodthirsty spears.
Mileena who was holding you looked up with a face full of fear and great anger. She hugged your blood-soaked body even tighter. "Dad... traitor! You killed him! YOU KILLED MINE!"
Raiden, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao instantly formed a defensive formation, realizing that they had been caught in a colossal trap planned by this deadly alliance.
"Pocket... don't die..." Mileena whispered in your ear, her tears now mixed with yours. "This world will be destroyed if you don't wake up! Wake up and order me to slaughter them all!"
The situation is truly Game Over. You're lying dying, surrounded by enemies who rise from the dead in full force, while your friends are cornered by thousands of troops.
Pov : *Raiden Cornered, Liu Kang, Kung Lau, Jade, Kita Can't Talk.. They were caught* *leaving me and milena*
Amidst the puffs of green smoke and Shao Kahn's thunderous laughter, the scene in front of you was truly a nightmare. Raiden knelt down with lightning dimming all over his body, chained by Shang Tsung's black magic. Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Jade, and Kitana bowed down listlessly, their hands bound by the hot iron chains pulled by the ruthless Tarkatan troops.
The victory you just held evaporated into dust. Now, only you are left dying on the ground and Mileena holding you in your arms with trembling bodies, surrounded by thousands of warriors and giants like Goro and Reiko.
"Look at this toy of yours, Mileena!" exclaimed Shao Kahn as he stepped forward, his giant sledgehammer dragging on the ground, creating sparks. "A weak human you call 'Player'? He's nothing more than a pile of rotting flesh!"
Mileena looked up, her yellow eyes were no longer just filled with anger, but pure madness. He kissed your forehead that was starting to cool, your blood now smeared his beautiful but terrible face.
"You guys are wrong..." whispered Mileena in a hoarse and deep voice, the vibration of her voice making the ground beneath you crack. "You don't kill humans... You guys just destroyed the only thing that held the monster inside me."
It slowly stands up, letting your body rest on a large rock. Mileena ripped off her mask, revealing Tarkatan's monstrous jaws with fangs that were now glowing red from your blood.
"Pocket... listen to me," whispered Mileena without turning her head, her voice sounding like thousands of demons speaking at the same time. "If this is Game Over, then I'll wipe out all the data in this world so that no one can win without you."
Suddenly, dark and concentrated purple energy exploded from Mileena's body, creating a storm that repelled Shao Kahn's troops.
Me : I rose up in a sword drawn from my body, and I pulled it out. But my position is so weak* *Shao Kahn tells milena to bite me*
The atmosphere instantly became tensely silent. With the remaining energy that was impossible for ordinary humans, you gripped the hilt of the sword stuck in your chest. The sound of metal friction with bones and flesh ringing in the ears of everyone who witnessed it.
"GRRWAHHHH!" You pulled the blade of the sword out. Fresh blood gushed out, drenching the ground of the Outworld, yet you remained standing even as your body trembled violently and your gaze began to turn white. The blood-stained sword fell clattering beside your shoes. You are completely limp, your breath one by one, almost like a living corpse forced to stand by pure will.
Shao Kahn burst out laughing, a laugh full of contempt. He stepped forward, his gigantic shadow covering your small, fragile body.
"Look at the loyalty you are proud of, boy!" shouted Shao Kahn. He turned to Mileena who was still kneeling in despair. "Mileena! My failed son! You're hungry, aren't you? You thirst for blood and fresh meat!"
Shao Kahn pointed towards your wide-open neck. "Bite him! Spend the rest of his life! Show this 'Player' that you're just a pet dog that will eat its master when your stomach is hungry! BITE HIM NOW!"
Mileena trembled violently. Tarkat's jaw opened, dripping saliva mixed with blood. His predatory instincts triggered by Shao Kahn's magic began to take over. He crawls over to you, his yellow eyes burning wildly, staring at the wound in your chest with uncontrollable hunger.
Raiden shouted from a distance, "Don't, Mileena! Fight the influence!" but his voice was drowned out by the cheers of the bloodthirsty Tarkatan troops.
Mileena is now right in front of you. He grabs your shoulder with his sharp claws, pulling your head closer to his mouth full of monstrous fangs. His hot, blood-smelling breath hits the skin of your neck.
"Bag..." his whisper, his voice hoarse and almost inaudible amidst the madness of his instincts. "I... I can't... hold it..."
Me : "I'm going to take a bite, just bite. Don't worry* *milena is tearing me apart* arghhhh
The atmosphere at the Outworld camp instantly gripped as your hoarse voice whispered that last permission. Mileena trembled violently, tears of blood flowing from the corners of her bright yellow eyes, but Shao Kahn's black magic and Tarkatan's predatory instincts within her body could no longer be contained.
"ARGHHHHH!!"
Your screams split through the dark night sky of Outworld as Mileena's sharp fangs stuck deep into your neck. An excruciating pain ran through all the nerves, hotter than any fire you've ever felt. He tears your flesh violently, but strangely, behind the ferocity, you can feel his hand holding you so tightly—as if he wants to unite your whole being into him so that you never really leave.
Shao Kahn laughed out loud, his voice thundering triumphantly. "Look! Look at that devotion you exalted, boy! He ate his own master!"
Kitana screamed hysterically from behind her chains, turning away from not being able to see her sister finish off the man they loved. Raiden and Liu Kang bowed listlessly, the glimmer of hope in their eyes extinguished instantly.
However, something terrible starts to happen.
As your blood—the blood of a "Player" carrying code from another dimension—flows into Mileena's body, her body begins to react in extremes. Not only was it full, but the dark purple energy began to turn into a dazzling white color. His muscles were enlarged, and his aura of power began to destroy the ground around you.
Mileena let go of her bite, her face now full of your blood. He looked up at Shao Kahn with a look that no longer belonged to a "child" or "clone".
"His blood..." Mileena muttered, her voice now echoing like thousands of lightning. "His blood is not just meat... this is LIFE! This is POWER!"
He stands tall in front of your now drooping body, your neck shattered but your eyes still slightly open, watching the monster you created with your own sacrifice.
"Dad..." Mileena looked at Shao Kahn with a grin that made the Emperor stop laughing. "Thank you for the advice. Now... I'm no longer hungry. Now, I just want to... SLAUGHTER!"
