The death of Moloch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub-Zero was now deep within the ship. Nobody had even come close to realizing he was there. As the ship rocked on the water, he could hear the sound of the old ship creaking and groaning. He could also hear what he came for. The sound of heavy breathing coming from the space below him. The creature that had killed many earthrealm warriors recently, was down below. It was up to the others now to stop Quan Chi and Shang Tsung. Sub-Zero only knew two things about this creature. They called it Moloch and it had killed many good warriors. He had a chance to kill this creature before it reached Earthrealm and he knew he must take it.
When Sub-Zero first reached Moloch he found it sleeping. Still clutching the large metal sphere in its hand as it slept. It was so big, and Sub-Zero was not sure of how to kill this thing. He better come up with something quick before it wakes up. It would be easier to kill while it slept for sure.
Unfortunately for Sub-Zero, he had run out of time. Moloch began to wake up. Awakened by the smell of living flesh. Time was up, and it looked like Sub-Zero would have to fight this thing. He waited to see what it would do, unsure just how dangerous it really was. As Moloch stood up it threw what he was fairly sure was a human skull at him. As unready as he was for it, Sub-Zero easily dodged the flying skull and it shattered behind him. By that time Moloch was already charging him.
Moloch took a running swing at Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero rolled to the side placing him behind the creature. As he stood up Sub-Zero used his freezing ability to let loose hundreds of little ice shards that ripped through Moloch's skin, who seamed to hardly notice. That was OK Sub-Zero thought. It wasn't really meant to hurt it.
Moloch then turned again swinging the heavy sphere at him. It was an obvious move and Sub-Zero was long since out of reach. As it finnished swinging Sub-Zero let loose the largest blast of ice he could. Perhaps the creatue wasn't as stupid as it looks, he thought as it moved out of the way. The ice blast froze the wall behind Moloch. Then the two charged each other. Leaping and twisting Sub-zero dodged Moloch's attack and sprung over it. As he landed Moloch had redirected his attack, spinning around and catching Sub-Zero by surprise. He was able to prepare for the hit and take some of the power out of it, but the strike still hurt like hell and knocked him back. Rebounding to his feet Sub-Zero was ready for the strike that came next. He had to be. It was going to be the last one.
Sub-Zero had to time it all perfectly. Waiting for that perfect moment when Moloch had already committed to its attack, but leaving himself enough time to get up the stairs and out of the lower deck. Reality appeared to go into slow motion as Moloch swung the heavy sphere at him. It was time to escape. Not just from Moloch but from the ship. Moloch's powerful attack landed on the wall where Sub-Zero used to be. The same wall of the ship that had been frozen moments before. The strike shattered the frozen wood and created a giant hole in the side of the ship. The gush of water pushed Moloch to the other side of the ship and filled the deck in a mater of seconds. Soon after, as the ship continued to flood, the ship started to tilled downward and Moloch's heavy sphere pulled him out the gaping hole. On his way down to the sea floor Moloch was attacked by thousands of tiny fish, drawn to the blood seeping from the cuts Sub-Zero had given him. These fish are not unlike the piranhas of Earthrealm. Consuming his flesh and devouring him before he even reached the sea floor.

Jax's Death
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jax could see light flickering on the other side of his eyelids. As he tried to open his eyes he could feel pain coming from just about every part of his body. It hurt just to be awake, but he was a warrior. He could deal with pain. He wasn't sure how long it had been since he lost consciousness. He wasn't even sure what had happened. Jax was so close to Shang Tsung this time. So close he thought he already had him. He must have let his guard down. How could he have been ambushed like that? He never saw them coming. Only felt the pain as they beat him till he blacked out.
That brings us to here. Wherever here is. As the blood and sweat washed away from Jax's eyes his surroundings came into focus, and he found himself tied to slab in some cave. His arms stretched out and away from his body. At each side was a pot of burning coal. Each with a red hot iron disk resting among the flames. Jax had a bad feeling they were meant for him. The Tarkatan warriors that stood by what looked like was the way out did not escape him. Nor did the one standing before him grinning. This one he knew. This one was named Baraka.
"So. Are you just going to stand there looking pretty, or are you going to tell me what I'm doing here," asked Jax.
"You're here to play." Baraka replied. With that said Baraka slowly extended the blades from his arm. Grinning bigger as they emerged.
Jax looked Baraka in the eyes and said, "You know I'm going to make you eat those things when I get out of here."
Baraka was unimpressed, and with two quick slices he cut Jax's arms from his body. Jax was too busy screaming in pain to see the other Tarkatans remove the disks from the burning coals by their handles. So it was a surprise when they buried them into his body where his arms once were, sealing off the wounds. Once Jax stopped screaming Baraka came close and whispered as much as a Tarkatan can "We cant have you bleeding to death before we're done playing. You can pass out for a while. If you wish."Jax did just that.
He didn't feel the pain. Just the gentle rocking of the sea. The air was cold and he was drenched in his own sweat. He was probably in shock. Its a wonder he was still alive. Something was wrong. He wasn't on the sea. He was the one swaying back and forth, dangling from his feet. Jax hadn't gone anywhere. Not that it mattered. He was fucked. There was just no other way to put it.
Just then he felt hands on his chest turning his body. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was Kitana! She had come to rescue him! "Thank God you found me. I..i I..don't think I can last much longer..."
"Shhhhh," whispered Kitana. "It will all be alright." she said holding his face. " I just want you to know your right." "You really wont last much longer."Then she laughed, as Baraka had laughed.
All of that hope gone in a moment of clarity as he realized it was not Kitana that stood before him. "I thought you were dead, " said Jax.
"No, Just you" replied Mileena. "I brought you a gift." Two Tarkatans brought in a large bucket and put it near Mileena. "Its hard to think all of this blood came out of your arms........Perhaps that's because it didn't," she sighed. "Really Jax. I pegged you for a Pit bull kind of man myself. Who would have thought you were a poolde kind of guy? They are oh so irritating. Tasty though."
"YOU TARKATAN BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR IT!!" Jax screamed.
Fetching Jax's drained arms she put his cold hands up to her throat. "Go ahead. Give us a squeeze."
Mileena then motioned to the other warriors who then place the bucket of blood underneath Jax's body. Jax spit a Mileena as she lowered his head into the bucket to drown in his own blood.

Bo Rai' Cho's Death
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As an enemy of the forces that wish to rule Earthrealm, Legendary master Bo Rai Cho has repeatedly become the target of many assassination attempts. Fortunately for him his great skill has kept him alive through all of them. Most are of little trouble for him. Unskilled warriors trying to best their better. In a physical confrontation it would appear there is little hope for killing the famed Bo Rai' Cho. Thats why the next attempt on his life would not be one.
While walking the paths near his home Bo Rai' Cho began to hear a sound he knew all too well. The sound of conflict. He quietly made his way towards all the commotion and found a woman under attack from several raiders. She appeared to be on her way somewhere in a wagon before she was attacked. He also saw a dead man laying near by. The thugs were six in number and the woman was all alone. While they threatened her life Bo Rai' Cho suck up on the raiders knocking three of them our cold before the remaining even realized he was there. The other three were hardly a match for Bo Rai Cho's skills.
As Bo Rai Cho stood before the woman she thanked him with great emotion. Then she told him she and her husband were on their way to sell the food they had made for money. Now she could not go to the market because she would have to deal with the loss of her husband. She said all of it would now go to waste and to take whatever he pleased as a thank you for saving her life. Being a man who hates to see good food go to waste he took that which he felt he could use. Not realizing that the food had been infested with the eggs of the Rewarmquid. A flesh eating creature from the neatherealm. Days after he had feasted on the woman's food he began to have many pains. Pains caused by the rewarmquid as the ate him alive from the inside out.

And Finaly Mokap's Death.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was three days into what Mokap had hoped would a great time. Spending time outdoors away from city life to find himself and work on his skills as a martial artist. With his collection of how to books on various styles, he had spent the past two days mastering all he could. He was a sponge for the deadly arts. He was at the top of his game and he knew that nobody could take him. As the sky turned orange at the end of that third day he smiled knowing deep within himself that he was a legend in the making. The fate of the world would one take rest in his hands as he would be fighting to be the next champion of Mortal Kombat.
As he started walking back to his camp site he began to hear sounds. The sounds turned into what he was sure was a voice. No, the sound of many voices. Swirling all around him saying all manor of things in all manor of languages. He became afraid, unable to understand what was happening. Then all the noise suddenly stopped. Mokap was relieved for a moment until he saw a figure standing before him. In an instant he knew this creature was not human. It was Ermac...but wait. No it was not. Mokap became aware that this creature was in fact not Ermac. He could feel it. This creature was not born of souls but of something else. Mokap was unsure how he should react to the strange figure or what it wanted with him. Then the creature spoke.
In a strange voice, layered with the sound of many other voices the creature told Mokap what he would need to know. "We are that which everything should fear." "For we are the most powerful force across the realms." "We are that which decides the fate of all people such as yourself." "We are the hatred of all that love Mortal Kombat, and we have come to judge you Mokap." "You do not belong in this world and we have come to remove you from it." "Fight if you so wish. It doesn't matter. You cannot win."
Mokap wasted no time unleashing an attack on the creature that would have killed any man. It was not enough, and the creature began to fight back. The fight raged on for what was the longest fight Mokap had ever fought. Still he was confident that he was doing well, until he realized the creature was only toying with him. This realization washed over Mokap taking with it all his hope. As it did the creature knew what had happened. It was time to quit playing around. The creature tore into Mokap breaking both skin an bone. Mokap fell to his ass and clutch his broken side. Blood gushed from his mouth as he spoke for the first time. "Why? I did nothing to you." The creature silently grabbed Mokap by the throat and lifted him high. "You did everything to us." With that Mokap heard the sound of his own neck breaking. Then the world swirled as his body fell the the ground like a rag doll. He was alive but he could no longer move.
The only skill Mokap had left was to scream as the creature dragged him along the path and through the woods. He was about to pass out when they stopped. Again the creature lifted him up by the neck and Mokap found himself looking out over the horizon. The sun was just now sliding below the land in the distance and Just as Mokap realized they were standing on the edge of a cliff the creature tossed him over the edge.
