'I have unfinished business from a couple years back that need to be done.' Krimson admits. 'But Shang Tsung and his allies are preventing me from completing my task. I have no other purpose in this tournament.'

"By your look i can guess you are form this earth. Do you really don't care about what happens to this realm?" He looks to the others and says "I guess we'll have to postpone this conversation. The others saw us and are coming"

[I forgot to tell your character Krimson's name, but you can say she told him.]

'Alright then.' Krimson looks back at the others, and back towards De Kiô, 'Let's go.'

"Marek, Ekibyogami let us continue to Shang Tsung's throne i believe the next match is there"
They begin to walk towards the building as the first drops of rain begin to pour.

Marek takes out his spare ropes and covers Serenity in it. "This should keep you dry, lady Serenity."

"No,No I don't need something I like being wet,really i do" at that Ekibyogami begins to laugh.

"Thank you Marek" Looking at Ekibyogami getting wet she begins to giggle. "Ekibyogami why not create a covering out of insects?"

"They too prefer to stay dry"

Ekibyogami notices the throne room up ahead "We are almost there"

"Haha i had no idea!" She couldn't help but to feel happy among her new friends. But even they can't help her with her mission.

The doors open to the sight of the yellow armored warrior dropping a skull to the ground.

"That warrior.. What happened?" Serenity asked.

"Perhaps you should ask Lord Raiden what happened." Marek cautiously walks next to Serenity, attempting to avoid eye contact with his former master, Shang Tsung.

"Wait he is talking to a warrior" After waiting the warrior walks away from Raiden seeming angry at the thunder god. "Ok now let us approach him"
Noticing Marek's sudden change in character Serenity turns and whispers
"Marek what is wrong?"

"I was once Shang Tsung's most trusted Shadow Priest. Our last meeting did not end...Pleasantly." Marek clenches his fists. "He cannot be allowed to win the tournament. And he won't."

"Then let me talk to Raiden alone. I do not wish to risk your safety should Shang Tsung find you out. I will be fine Marek you need not worry" Serenity gives him a warm smile. But as she smiles she thinks of Malice, Mr. Mute, and other potential enemies. They will NOT defeat me, she thought..

Marek returns Serenity's smile and kisses her hand once again. "Very well, Lady Serenity." As he starts to pull his hand away, Marek stares deeply into Serenity's eyes. Hypnotized by their beauty, it takes all of his willpower to break eye contact. "Be careful, milady."

"I will. Be careful as well Marek." She turns around and walks towards Raiden.
With every step closer, Serenity could see herself swiping her ring blade the thunder god. Ekibyogami and Marek have walked off, I have Raiden here all alone. "RAIDEN!" She finds herself saying as her ring blade begins to materialize.
Raiden is standing staring at the ground in deep thought. He snaps out of it as he hears his name shouted. "um um. yes?"
What am i doing? i promised..
Serenity's ring blade disappears right before Raiden looks up.
"We need to talk. My companion Marek knows of your visions"
Errrrr... The sound of a door opening is heard behind them..

"Something's wrong, I can feel it. Lady Serenity may be in danger." Before Lord Ekibyogami can act, Marek takes off back to the throne room.

Ekibyogami lets out a big sigh,and follows Marek,wondering why they just didn't ask him to talk to Raiden.

Okorik stealthfully follows the woman called Serenity to an abandoned chamber. As she is walking, Okorik places his blade near the back of her head and yells, "Well well, you seem to have quite the effect on Shang Tsung's shadow priests. I expected a god to be a bit harder to sneak up on. With your death, maybe the shadow priest will follow Shang Tsung again and ensure Earthrealm's loss. Prepare yourself to meet Lord Shinnok himself!"

Just then, Marek bursts into the chamber, his robes alive with rage. "Harm Lady Serenity and you will burn in the Netherrealm, monster!" Marek vanishes into his robes and teleports behind Serenity, grabbing and pulling her into the safety of his robes, reappearing on the other side of the empty chamber. "Are you safe, Serenity?"

(Umm.. where did Raiden go? lol but ill go with it)

Serenity smiles at marek. "Yes yes Marek i am fine. But please don't ever do that again without warning me first."

Looking at the new warrior Serenity becomes dead serious.
"Warrior do you think you could of hurt me?"
She runs with her enhanced speed towards the warrior, then zips to the left, then right, and then finally behind the warrior.
"Even with your weapon near my head you would not have touched me"
The warrior spins and cuts into Serenity with his blade.
To his surprise she is not there.
"Over here warrior"
The warrior looks back and sees Serenity standing next to Marek again.
'Not so easy is it?"

"I'm sorry, Serenity. I was afraid you were in danger." Summonig his battle axe, Marek charges at the swordsman.

"haha it is quite alright" She smiles as Marek begins to run towards the warrior
but suddenly a thought came to Serenity
"Wait Marek. Warrior what do you want with me?"

Ekibyogami walks in the room,wondering where Raiden went.
"I hate him so very much right now"
He turns to see a standoff between Marek, Serenity and a unknown assailant. He is about to help,but figures they have it covered,so he leans against a column,yawns and watches the fight,he will be there if anyone decides to join in,but until then he could use a break.

Serenity hears a yawn from behind them. She turns to see Ekibyogami watching the events.
"Ekibyogami! If you are going to watch at least LOOK excited" Serenity says half serious and half playing around.
Serenity is not scared for it is 3-1 and the odds are in their favor.

"oh,ahhhh Go Team?"
