Kabal looked at his two apprentices, and bowed his head in respect at the both of them. Kira and Kobra, both ignorant to why they were summoned into the Kombat chamber, of the Black Dragon Headquarters, bowed their heads back, nervously looking around. Kobra kept a calm face, but Kira was in a state of terror. Kabal looked at both of them, if he was able to smile he would have, but he was still feeling pride in his two apprentices. “Both of you are worthy leaders, and either one of you could lead the Black Dragon one day,” Kobra smiled and looked at Kabal directly in the eyes, Kira kept her head down awaiting the swerve, “However... only one of you will be able to do so and I can not decide, because you are both so worthy in my eyes, so it will be decided in Mortal Kombat.”

Kira winced at this, and Kobra looked outraged for a split second, Kobra fixed his face and nodded, Kira quickly pulled out her Dragon Teeth daggers, and went for a quick jab at Kobra’s neck. Kobra was much to quick for such treachery however, and quickly raised up his foot, to where it kicked one of her Dragon Teeth out of her hand, it skid across the metal floors of the dungeon making a high pitched wail, and leaving a shower of sparks behind it. Kira looked shocked at this, but Kobra kept on the attack, by taking the very same foot, into Kira’s gut. Kira doubled over, and Kobra grabbed her head, smashing his knee into it hard. Kira fell back onto the ground, and Kobra picked her up by her hair, and slid her across the floor. Kobra lifted his hand up high looking to snap Kira’s neck with one blow, Kira thinking fast threw he Dragon Teeth blade and it pierced Kobra’s hand, Kobra screamed in outrage, and pain, and looked at his hand, it was spewing out blood, and still had the Dragon Teeth blade lodged in it. Kobra quickly pulled it out, pouring blood all over him, and threw it down.

Kira get back up, and charges Kobra she hit him between the eyes with a flying kick. Kobra fell hard to the ground, and Kira went for a fatal kick to the temple. Kobra blocked it with his own foot, and sprung up, dropping Kira on the back of her head. Kira rolled and went to her feet. She went for a quick punch and connected with one, she went for another, which Kobra blocked, he spun her around by her arm, and grabbed the other, he pulled back hard, Kira could feel her ligaments and tissue tearing, using Kobra’s momentum she pulled off a front flip sending both feet into Kobra’s chin, Kobra fell back to the ground dazed. Kira shook off the pain, and Kobra stood up, they eyed each other, and Kira blew him a kiss arrogantly.

Kobra charges her, and she sidestepped him, sending a kick to his side, he fell to the ground and Kira went behind him and wrapped her hands around his head, she was going to snap his neck! Kobra sent a hard kick up high and it hit Kira in the temple. Kira went for a kick but Kobra grabbed her leg, and tossed her away, Kira rolled across the floor. Kobra walked up to her quickly and she went for a final chop to the throat in desperation, Kobra grabbed it, and kicked hard onto the elbow, a loud crack was heard, and Kira’s arm dangled limp, Kobra kept hold of it, and sent a hard kick to the back of her neck, a final pop was heard, as Kira fell to the ground, Kira was dead.

Kobra walked away from her, and bowed down to Kabal. Kabal bowed back to him, and Kobra smiled as Kabal awarded him the position of second in command. Kobra spoke, “Thanks for this honor master Kabal, I will rule the Black Dragon one day and hopefully I will be as good of a leader as you are my master.” Kabal took a moment and spoke, “Kobra my apprentice I hope what you say is heart felt, now go to the medical chamber and get your hand looked at, I have a feeling we have many battles ahead of us...

Sonya Blade stood in the Outworld Investigation Agency meeting chambers, and spoke to her audience of superior officers. “The Black Dragon is as strong as ever, I know that if we do not act now, it will be too late.” Kurtis Stryker spoke up “Sonya as much as I respect you, I will not be throw into some crazy suicide mission, we can not just charge the Black Dragon strong hold, unknowing to what awaits us in there.” There was a murmur of agreement within the chambers and Sonya spoke up once again, “I agree with what you are saying Kurtis, but you must hear me out, I am not asking anyone to go on a suicide mission, because I am not a fool. I would hope you all know me better than that, I have an old Black Dragon contact whom is no longer involved in the affairs of them, and he is willing to help us just this once. He knows all the Black Dragon secrets.”

“Well then who is this contact,” piped up the usually silent psychic warrior Kenshi. Sonya looked nervous as she spoke, “We he is the former leader of the Black Dragon clan Kano...” There was an explosion of outrage within the chambers. “Sonya is right I talked to Kano, he can lead is the way and I think we stand a great chance of succeeding,” Jax said in agreement. Kurtis Stryker stood up, “Let’s take a vote, all in favor now stand...” Sonya remained standing, Jax rose up and looked around, Kenshi floated up using his psychic powers, before placing his feet upon the agreement, Cyrax doing the first thing since the meeting stood up robotically. Kurtis Stryker looked around and saw that more were rising. “Very well then, we will contact Kano, and from there we can start the mission to eliminate the Black Dragon threat, where can we find Kano?”

There doors came open, and out stepped Kano walking arrogantly. Kano looked around sticking out sorely around the dressed up Outworld Investigation Agency leaders. Kurtis Stryker looked at him mistrust set on his face. Sonya spoke up; “Tell us all you know about the Black Dragon Kano” Kano began...

“The Black Dragon headquarters is located in Earthrealm continent of Australia, where the Northern Territory meets the southern Territory on Ayer’s Rock; it is a well hidden underground facility. You will need a team of five to go, the current leader is Kabal. Kabal is a good warrior, and a worthy leader. Not more worthy than me, but he is very good at what he does. The Black Dragon is a very large clan at the moment, but they do not have many worthy warriors, too my knowledge that is. People of interest would be Kobra, and Jarek whom until recently I believed to be dead.” Sonya interrupted “I tossed him off a mountain in the Outworld; there is no way he survived...” Kano looked at her, “Well you can tell that too him, not me” Sonya looked abashed, but was silent nonetheless. “Now where was I? Yes okay now in order to succeed we will first need to have two members use stealth to get into the secondary entrance to the command center. From there they can open up the main gate and allow in the other 3 members, and do not expect a warm welcoming.”

Kurtis Stryker spoke, “Very well then the last question is whom do we send?” There was a murmur of consideration around the chamber and Sonya broke it. “We need two members whom posses skills in stealth so I believe we should send Kenshi and Cyrax as our first two far that part. From there we need a tech specialist so I think Earl Swims is a great choice, and then we need muscle so Jax, and Stryker is the obvious choice. Kano spoke up outraged, “What about me, I am ready to eliminate the Black Dragon...” Stryker interrupted, “As if we can trust you that much, no Sonya Blade got it right we will send Cyrax, Briggs, Swims, Kenshi, and myself to the mission tomorrow, until then everyone rest up.”

Hey reviews please, I worked on this for a while when I was doing my work lol. And I thought it turned out pretty good. It will get good by the way with shocks, twists, and surprises through out.

Kobra walked down the street of Moree, he was dressed in a tuxedo with a top hat that hid his flowing blonde hair. He was deeply undercover for a Black Dragon mission, Kobra stopped a woman on the streets “Excuse me ma’am I am looking for Morton’s bar...” The woman stopped looking at Kobra measuring “Look to Bowlers Street should be the only building made from bricks sticks out like a wood duck.” Kobra nodded appreciatively and walked on for what seemed like hours. The Australian heat was for sure hotter than anything he had ever felt in America. Finally Kobra saw a smaller looking building, and was not sure it was a bar, but he was on Bowlers Street and it was made of bricks.

Kobra made his way over to the bar; a man was setting on the outside in a rocking chair the man had a fierce look on him, and was wearing only a pair of blue jeans. The man looked at him, “Can I help you American?” Kobra looked at the man, but tried to keep his cover “Hello my name is Jonathon Derlin I am from Topeka, Kansas I am here on business from America and need to talk to Morton Jones at the nearest convenience.” The man looked up at him, and spat at Kobra’s feet. “No American’s are allowed in ma’ bar” Kobra looked at him still keeping his cover “I’m sorry are you Morton Jones?” The man stood up kicking his chair, he was certainly taller than he looked setting, and then again he set on a slouch. “My name is John and I reckon no one ever beat me in a fight before, so this is my bar... any American want entry will do so stepping over my corpse.” Kobra looked down at his feet, not expecting this, but not ready to fail his fist mission as Kabal’s apprentice.

Kobra took off his jacket, and put it on the wooden rail, Kobra stepped back a few steps and bowed to his foe. John laughed at him, and went for a quick punch, catching Kobra off guard. Kobra fell back to his knee and dodged another quick blow. Jon was now in a flurry of punches, most hitting Kobra in the face, Kobra finally grabbed John’s arm and twisted back, and John fell to the ground screaming, at Kobra’s mercy. Kobra lifted his foot high in the air for the final blow but John tossed some sand up, blinding Kobra.

John picked up a wooden board and cracked it hard over Kobra’s back. Kobra fell down hard face first into the dirt. John smashed down aiming for Kobra’s head but Kobra rolled out of the way, a loud thud sounded the miss. Kobra sprung back up, and kicked the board from John’s hands. John looked shocked, but didn’t have any time to react as Kobra crushed his gut with a hard kick. John felt his ribs shatter, and fell to the ground gasping for wind. Kobra picked him back up, and with one final chop snapped John’s neck. Kobra tossed John down onto a table, making a loud crash as the table collapsed, and walked off, buttoning his jacket back up.

Inside the bar Kobra took a seat, everyone was looking at him nervously having witnessed the destruction of John. The bartender dropped his rag that was cleaning the counters and rushed to his aid. “Anything you need... on the house compliments of Morton Jones... “Well I am from Topeka, Kansas and am on urgent business. In short I must speak to Morton Jones immediately.” The bartender nodded, and signaled for Kobra to follow, obligingly Kobra walked behind the bar, and into a floor based entry to what Kobra thought must be a cellar, it was however a grand office. The bartender knocked on the door “A visitor from America...”

There was a faint click, and the door sprung open Kobra slowly walked in as the door shut behind him. Kobra walked into the room and saw Morton watching a television set with two men standing behind him in black suits. Kobra looked at what he was watching and he saw himself throwing John’s body onto the table, as the table collapsed. “Splendid, I was hoping to get to meet the man who brought down that fucker John” Kobra chuckled lightly, as Morton did the same. The two men behind them kept their faces unsmiling and serious as Morton kept laughing. Kobra pulled his face to a mean smirk, and Morton’s eyes widened.

“Where’s the money dick head?” Kobra pressed. Morton looked at Kobra afraid, and snapped his finger at the two men. Kobra pulled out the gun he had been concealing and shot the first guard between the eyes. The wall behind him sprayed in red as the body guard flew back into it, slowly sliding back dead. The second guard was quicker on his feet, and shot at Kobra fist. Kobra ducked just in time, because a bullet flew through the air where he was standing. Kobra picked up his shoe, which had the metal plating on the bottom and chucked it hard, a dull thud sounded connection. Kobra sprung up, hoping for the opportunity of surprise. Sure enough the man was staggering; Kobra pulled the trigger, and shot the man in the throat. Blood poured from his mouth, and he fell on the floor shaking. Morton looked at Kobra trembling, and went for a gun in his drawer.

Kobra smashed his foot down hard on the desk crushing Morton’s hand. “I’ll tell you one more time ass hole. Give The Black Dragon the money you owe us, or you will be facing a very painful death.” Morton was panicking and stuttering over each word “I owe nobody nothing, I wish to have nothing to do with criminal organizations” Kobra chuckled menacingly, as Morton whimpered. “Everyone owes the Black Dragon money that is if they want to live.” Morton was now infuriated “I will not be b-b-bullied by some damn Uh-American tyrants!” Kobra pulled out his light, but painful kali stick, keeping the other in his pocket. Kobra grabbed Morton’s hand and pinned in on the table.

“I’ll give you one more chance man” Kobra said rising the Kali Stick high above his head. “NEVER” screamed back Morton almost in tears, Kobra laughed at this. Kobra raised the Kali stick high above his hand, and brought it down hard over Morton’s knuckles. Morton screamed in pain, and despair fighting desperately but Kobra kept smashing holding him there easily. Kobra finally stopped, and Morton pulled his hand but Kobra kept hold. “You feel more generous yet?” Morton winced but kept his pride “Eat shit, American” Morton spat at Kobra. Kobra pinned the hand back down, and brought back down the stick doing it harder than ever. Morton was now crying and throwing up, but still fighting. “Okay I-I-I agree expect your money by the 13th” Kobra smiled at him, giving him one last smash before releasing the hand.

Kobra told him good day, and walked out of the office leaving Morton in tears. Kobra got to the nearest pay phone. Kobra inserted the change and dialed, “Mission Success, be back before next hour.” Kobra put the phone back on the hook and walked off.

Kenshi and Cyrax fell into the second entrance hole of the Black Dragon Headquarters unseen by anyone. They both crouched low, and snuck down a narrow passage. They heard footsteps towards their direction. Kenshi lifted both of them up to the ceiling, and they saw a security guard coming at them. Kenshi dropped down hard, falling onto the top of the guard, the guard’s body snapped under the pressure. Cyrax dropped down behind Kenshi and they hurried on. After the hallway they came to a turn, and came to the command center. They both realized they were going to have to fight so they got ready.

Kenshi pushed open the door with his powers, and three men came to the door. Kenshi popped up from the side and took them out with his Kitana. Cyrax charged into the room, behind Kenshi. They looked around seeing about eleven or so people to fight. Cyrax pulled out his pulse blade. Kenshi held off the men with his psychic powers, and allowed a few in, for a fair fight. Cyrax chopped down the first man easily, but another one was behind him with a shoulder charge. Cyrax had no give, and spun around with a quick slice, the man fell to the ground, without his head on his shoulders. Cyrax was taken off guard with a hard kick in the back and a stomp on the head. Cyrax fell down to the ground, and was picked back up. Cyrax picked up the guy by his neck, and squeezed the guard fell to the ground lifeless.

Kenshi could no longer hold and the rest charges. Kenshi plowed through them all, and ordered Cyrax to open the main entrance. Kenshi killed the most of them by the time Cyrax was done. Cyrax chopped down the rest with his pulse blade. Kenshi and Cyrax ran out of the room, after Cyrax put detonators in it. They made it out just in time, and were down the hall when a loud explosion confirmed their success. Kenshi picked up the communicator... “We’re in” said the voice of Jax.
