Chapter One: Curiosity & Consequences

Johnny Cage. There he was, the embodiment of charisma and confidence, commanding the set of his Indiana Jones film with effortless charm. Airlea Baros, had lived in the shadows her whole life, often found enjoyment in watching Mr. A-List from afar. As she peered from behind one of the props on set, she watched Johnny approach the temple ruins alongside his co-star, Adam.

“We're off the map. We should go back, re-check the route,” Adam suggested, glancing around nervously.

“It’s this way,” Johnny replied confidently, and Airlea felt her admiration swell.

“The temple!” Adam exclaimed, pointing at the entrance.

“Goddamn, Alessia,” Johnny muttered, his gaze locked on a dead, burnt body nearby. Airlea's stomach churned at the sight. What had happened here?

“Can you open it?” Adam asked, peering at the massive door.

“Without killing us? Let’s hope so,” Johnny shot back, determination etched on his face.

Airlea could hardly contain her excitement and fear. Here was her hero, facing danger head-on, while she remained hidden, a mere spectator in a world she longed to join.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Airlea quietly slipped into the temple after them, staying hidden in the shadows.

“Turn 'em off,” Johnny instructed, gesturing for Adam to shut off their flashlights. “Yeah, we’re definitely getting warmer.” The dim light of the chamber flickered, heightening her sense of adventure.

“How are these still burning?” Adam asked, his voice echoing in the stillness.

“Oil bubbles up from the ground. The chamber channels it somehow,” Johnny replied confidently, leading them deeper into the temple.

Airlea's pulse quickened as they entered a burial-like room adorned with ancient artifacts.

“Katara Vala. And his shield! What? So, there’s metal in the floor,” Adam exclaimed, his eyes wide with wonder.

“That’s not just any metal,” Johnny said, kneeling down. “It’s liquid mercury.”

“Shit! That stuff's toxic,” Adam warned, and Airlea felt a chill run down her spine. She knew this was a dangerous situation, and she had to be careful, but the thrill of being so close to her idol was irresistible.

“Fatal. Only step where I step,” Johnny warned, leading the way across the precarious floor. Airlea watched nervously, her heart racing as Adam almost tripped, barely catching himself.

“What did I say?” Johnny shot back, just as a button was pressed beneath their feet, causing liquid mercury to surge dangerously close.

“Shit!” Adam exclaimed, almost falling in, but Johnny grabbed him just in time.

“I’m sorry. I—” Adam stammered.

“Not now. Get out the explosives.” Johnny examined a large pillar, his focus unwavering.

“That’s our bridge?” Adam asked, incredulity in his voice.

“Do this right, it’ll fall across,” Johnny replied, glancing back at him.

“The Kalima. They’re real?!” Adam shouted as winged demon beasts emerged from the mercury.

“Keep working. I’ll take care of the she-beasts,” Johnny instructed, adrenaline pumping.

“You disturb Katara Vala’s slumber. For your sin, you die,” the Kalima hissed.

Airlea could hardly breathe as she watched Johnny engage in battle, his movements fluid and powerful. She had never seen anything like it.

After defeating the Kalima, Johnny stood tall, brushing off his hands. “Got no time to die, crazy lady.”

“You okay?” Adam asked, shaken.

“Yes. We ready? Physics, for the win. Let’s go,” Johnny replied, a determined glint in his eyes.

“This’ll be worth millions,” Adam said, referring to Katara Vala’s shield, his ambition clear.

“It belongs in a museum,” Johnny shot back.

Suddenly, panic erupted. “Adam!” Johnny yelled as his friend slipped into the liquid mercury after a scare from Katara Vala.

“You will not have it,” the ancient spirit warned.

“You don’t need it; you’re dead. Speaking of which, you just killed my best friend. And I’m not one to forgive and forget,” Johnny declared, fury igniting his every move as he battled Katara Vala.

After the fierce clash, Johnny searched for the shield. “Now, where’s that shield?” he asked, running toward it—just inches from Airlea, who held her breath, hidden in a nook.

“I... am not yet defeated,” Katara Vala warned, rising again.

“Yes, you are. Time to go home.” Johnny threw the shield with pinpoint accuracy, striking down Katara Vala like a hero in an epic tale.

Airlea's heart raced with admiration as she witnessed it all, realizing that her life was about to change forever. Her heart raced as she imagined what it would be like to meet him. 

Airlea knew she had to hurry back to her home before more people showed up. As Johnny was distracted, she made her way through the temple, her heart pounding from both excitement and fear. But just as she was about to escape, her eyes landed on Johnny’s satchel, carelessly set down near the entrance.

Curiosity got the best of her, she thought. I have time. Johnny has a big ego that always needs attention.

With a quick glance behind her to ensure Johnny was still engaged with the crew, she darted toward the satchel, her tiny heart racing with the thrill of discovery. She carefully climbed up, peering inside, eager to see what treasures lay within.

“Cut! Print it!” the director, Steven, called out, breaking her concentration.

“I knew it! I felt that one. You felt it too, right?” Johnny exclaimed, excitement radiating from him.

Airlea barely heard their chatter as she rummaged through the bag. Her fingers brushed against various items—scripts, a water bottle, and something that glinted in the low light.

“Temple of Katara Vala... Take 39... Tail state,” the clapper board person announced, making Airlea jump.

“That’s a wrap,” Steven said, clapping his hands together.

“Steven. This was fantastic, thank you. Just like the old days. And these props? Jimbo killed it,” Johnny praised, beaming.

Airlea’s heart raced as she heard him speak. She couldn’t believe she was this close to him, her admiration deepening.

“Hey, about my pitch. Y'know, the karate zombie thing? I’m thinking four films. Maybe a streaming series?” Johnny suggested, his excitement palpable.

“Johnny, I don't—” Steven began, but Johnny cut him off.

“You’re right. Not here. I’ll swing by your office after I change.”

“I can't. Have to meet with the editors. Marsha will call you,” Steven replied.

“Great! Have your assistant call me,” Johnny said, waving as he walked away.

Airlea's excitement turned to panic as she accidentally knocked over a water bottle, causing a chain reaction of items tumbling around her. In the chaos, she slipped deeper into the satchel, wedging herself between a rolled-up script and a few props.

Before she could free herself, Johnny returned, picking up the satchel without noticing her tiny figure inside. As he slung it over his shoulder, Airlea felt the sudden sway of movement and the pressure of the bag tightening around her.

Shit, she thought, her heart racing as she realized she was going home with her idol—if only he knew.

This was like a test of how Mortal Kombat might be like in 3D and I used to play the arcade version a lot back in the day..

The oversized backlit 3D button and dodging mechanics where interesting to me and the combo system which was like a hybrid between MK3 and Killer Instinct was neat..

I actually liked the graphics and to me it looked like digitized fighters a la Mortal Kombat except as 3D models..

One thing to note is because of the lighting the 3D button used to get slightly warm to the touch..

I almost named a kitten of mine after one of the characters.. Valla.. the Viking woman..

I remember friends saying the graphics look kinda like the N64 but I thought it was more like a PC style custom board with a 3Dfx chip like some other Midway games at the time.. the graphics were certainly bigger resolution owing to more available RAM and I appreciated that DCS was stereo sound at this point..

Sega Saturn - Mortal Kombat 2

Title: Mortal Kombat 2 / モータルコンバットII 完全版

Developer: Midway Manufacturing / Probe Entertainment

Publisher: Acclaim

Release date: 29 March 1996

Catalogue No.: T-8107G

Genre: Fighting

I've always thought the Mortal Kombat games were shit (at least in the arcades they were to me) but this Saturn version of Mortal Kombat II is the ultimate in shit. Apparently based on the PC MS-DOS version. You see, it's so bad that the Super Famicom version outdoes it in every aspect apart from actual character sizes. Mortal Kombat II on the Saturn is missing an awful lot of speech, animation, and even loads before finishing moves! The controls are just as tight as the arcade mind you but that isn't saying much since they were pretty bad in the first place if you ask me.

Overall, this is an awful conversion that really goes to show what lazy sods they were at Probe. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 by the British software house GT Interactive / Eurocom (a later release) was fantastic so why isn't this? By the way, like all Mega CD and Saturn games released by Acclaim in Japan, the instruction book is printed on shitty paper and in black & white. And for some odd reason, the disc is made in the US. Maybe it's got no region protection on it?

Mortal Kombat: Enenra's Shadow

Chapter 4: Calm Before The Storm

Viktor eventually woke up in a dark and distorted version of the plane. When he got up, he saw what appeared to be a tall man with dark hair and blue attire. Viktor, confused, approached the man, who quickly turned around to eye the boy. Viktor started sweating bullets down his neck.

VIKTOR: C-Can i help you?

???: No, but maybe I can help you.

Viktor thought he was uncomfortable, now he had a brick of shit in his pants.

???: Listen well, because I will not ask twice. Stop this escapade. Or else you shall only find pain.

VIKTOR: What are you saying?

???: I’m saying wake up.

VIKTOR: What?

???: I said…

ENENRA: WAKE UP!

Enenra pushed Viktor’s body into the seat in front of him, waking him up and hurting his nose.

VIKTOR (covering his face): OW! My Nose!

That eventually wakes up Isaac.

ISAAC: You okay, kid?

Viktor turned quickly to Isaac, patting himself on the chest to see if he’s still alive.

VIKTOR (sighing): I’m fine. <My God.> I gotta use the bathroom.

He got up and walked it off. As he entered the bathroom, he washed his face and looked in the mirror. Suddenly Enenra appeared in front of him. 

ENENRA: What is your illness?

Viktor jumped back a bit before inhaling and exhaling.

VIKTOR: Severe panic anxiety with a hint of depression, why? You think I’m retarded?

ENENRA: Well I was gonna say you’re an idiot, but retarded is a better term. But that’s besides the point.

VIKTOR: What do you even want from me?

ENENRA: What I want you to do, is pull your shit together, understand that this Svenson bastard is playing you and STOP being such a PANSIE!

Then, Viktor heard the pilot speaking through the microphone.

PILOT: Attention all passengers, we are about to land so stop doing whatever you’re doing and fasten your seatbelts.

Viktor looked back in the mirror, seeing Enenra in his reflection.

ENENRA: You have about a couple days to listen to what I have to say.

The teen grabbed the symbiote's head and stuffed it in his jacket. He exited the bathroom, got in a seat, tied his belt and braced for impact. They landed and exited the plane as soon as possible, taking their stuff with them.

ISAAC: Well, this is where we sadly part ways. I Got things to do and I got you a location in these pictures. One of my contacts will get you there, lickety split.

VIKTOR (smiling): Holy shit, what time period are you from?

Isaac smiled and waved goodbye to the boy. As Viktor turned around, he saw a 1967 Mercury Cougar GT going his way. It drifted into a donut right before hitting him and the door opened, revealing their driver.

DRIVER: Hello, I’m Gus Axel and I’ll be your driver today.

Viktor smiled, and put his luggage in the back, where he sat as well, and the driver turned and looked at the teen. 

GUS: Where to?

VIKTOR (showing him the pictures): Here, sir.

GUS: I know this place. Fasten your seatbelt, cause here we go.

Viktor fastened his belt, and they took off at incredible speeds. In a matter of minutes they stopped at a coffee shop.

VIKTOR: Why did we stop?

GUS: After this point, we can’t go by car. These are sacred grounds, and they forbid anyone driving through here. That and you’re probably thirsty.

Viktor unlocked his belt and got outside the car. He looked at the driver. 

GUS: Before you get in, Shuǐ means water.

Gus said, right before tossing his phone number to Viktor who looked a bit confused.

GUS: For when you need a ride back!

He shouted as he drifted away. Viktor entered the shop and ordered a glass of water, sitting down next to a familiar looking gentleman. The old man looked at the boy, and both of them were a bit scared to strike up a conversation. Then, the old man began.

STRANGER: So uh… what brings you here?

VIKTOR: Firstly, thank you for speaking english, I can’t speak Chinese to save myself. And secondly: Why would you like to know?

STRANGER: I don’t know, I feel like I’ve seen you before. I could swear I’ve seen that shade of pinkish red hair somewhere–

VIKTOR: If you’re trying to convince me into your van, you might as well say it. I don’t have all day, old man.

He said as the waiter brought Viktor his water and the old man his coffee.

VIKTOR: Thank you.

STRANGER: Xièxiè.

The old man paid up, poured and drank the coffee slowly. The coffee seemed familiar to Viktor, he knew the smell and style it was served all too well.

VIKTOR: That’s Turkish coffee, isn’t it?

STRANGER: You have a good eye.

Viktor looked at the man, thinking he looked way too familiar.

VIKTOR: Can I ask you something?

STRANGER: Shoot.

VIKTOR: My mom once described my father to me… Short messy hair, casually wears a red jacket, physically fine build and yellow eyes.

All those traits fit the stranger to a T. The stranger gulped the whole fincan of coffee. He looked at the boy with a relaxed expression.

STRANGER: What’s it to me?

Viktor looked at the man seriously and asked him calmly.

VIKTOR: Are you my father, who has left my mother alone all those years ago?

STRANGER: That's a bit of a personal question, don’t you think?

VIKTOR: Yes or fucking no?

The man looked down at the table, and he turned to the boy.

STRANGER: I know you have a lot happening right now, but trust me, you got the wrong guy. Everything will be revealed in time.

VIKTOR (sighing): Right. Thanks for the chat. I’m Viktor, by the way.

STRANGER: Nico.

He said, as Viktor drank up his water and left for the woods, where the flower resides. Nico knew exactly where he was going, so he drank his coffee and followed in his tracks. Viktor walked the forest paths for hours. So many hours that it actually became night. Luckily his phone had a flashlight to help him illuminate the path. Enenra suddenly appeared out of Viktor’s shoulder and started talking to him.

ENENRA: When will you stop hunting for something invisible?

VIKTOR: I’m an optimist, what do you expect from me?

ENENRA: You’re addicted to the silver lining, I hope you know that.

VIKTOR: Even if that whole “Magic Flower” shit was made up, I’m still keeping a promise to you, the promise being you can eat someone. Hell, eat anyone for what I care.

ENENRA (unenthusiastically): Yippie.

They heard some rustling in the bushes and trees. They brushed it off, thinking it was some kind of animal. They saw a strange glow in the distance, Viktor seemed very excited, and he went to check it out, and it was the flower. The very same flower they’ve been looking for.

VIKTOR (referring to Enenra): SEE? I told you!

ENENRA: Well, I’ll be damned.

 Viktor very carefully dug around it, picked it up and carefully stuffed it into the bag. As soon they heard more rustling from the bushes and trees, they knew something, or someone, was after them.

VIKTOR: Enenra, suit me up.

ENENRA: Copy.

So, Enenra covered Viltor's whole body, even adding a few inches to his height. The second he suited up, several masked men with swords jumped out to ambush the two. Some were confused, some were a bit scared and some were dashing in to attack the mass of goop and muscles. The ones who were attacking got slammed into trees and thrown around like ragdolls. Even if some of them got a few lucky strikes and stabs in the beast, the damage was instantly healed. Enenra was getting pretty tired though, and couldn’t keep fighting for much longer. He defeated the last masked fighter and returned into Viktor's body to recharge.

VIKTOR: Woooaaah, where are you going?

ENENRA: I’m out of energy. I need to eat something…

VIKTOR: Well I can’t let you eat these guys, we made a deal…

As they were talking, a masked giant of a man clad in blue, has arrived behind him. And a woman in red armor in front of him. She eyed the boy as the man stood behind him ready to attack.

SEKTOR: You dare trespass on Lin Kuei grounds, steal what is ours and kill our men? By my hand, you shall fall!

VIKTOR: You said you had no juice to fight?

ENENRA (in Viktor’s head): Yeah.

VIKTOR: So I reckon we run away in the opposite direction?

ENENRA: (in Viktor’s head): Most likely.

VIKTOR (with a stoic expression): … Bring it on.

He tries to run behind himself, but bumps into the giant behind him who Neji Palm’s him into Sektor, who roundhouses him into the man who, in a few seconds, freezes the boy’s right arm and shatters into hundreds of pieces. He screams out in pain, as he is punched down to the ground by who was revealed to be, Bi-Han. 

BI-HAN: That should teach you not to intrude, filthy tourist.

Viktor eventually stopped screaming, as the loss of blood caused him to pass out. Sektor closed the wound with her flame thrower which would stop the bleeding. She then turned to the Lin Kuei’s Grandmaster, awaiting his command.

BI-HAN: Take him to the temple. We need to interrogate him.

He said, checking the pulse on his soldiers. 

BI-HAN: And while you’re there, Sektor, call for back-up. He didn’t kill any of them. 

SEKTOR: Yes, Grandmaster.

She said, calling in a few Lin Kuei with her wrist-strapped communicator. The Mechanic picked the boy up and carried him to the temple on her shoulder. As the Lin Kuei Grandmaster walked towards the temple, we saw Nico from the cafe hiding behind a tree. He saw everything that happened and pulled up his hoodie, took knives out of his jacket and put on a very familiar mask to go after them.

Etemon in Japanese is voiced by Yasunori Masutani, whose credits also include Nuova Shenron from Dragonball GT

Meanwhile Dub Etemon is Richard Epcar, a very prolific Voice actor with a ton of Credits, including voice Raisen in several Mortal Kombat games. In terms of shared series, Masutani voice on of the villain stands in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Eyes of Heaven, while Epcar played Old Joseph in the anime's dub

I have no commentary, this is just interesting.

Chapter 3: Fire, Ice, and Nothing Nice

author's note: Chapters 4 & 5 may be delayed due to the fact I have college exams next week, but we'll see.

first || previous || next

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Johnny Cage’s heart raced, adrenaline pumping as he faced the mysterious figure in front of him. “Where’s my wife?! What did you—”

Kenshi, the stranger, maintained a calm demeanor. “Your wife left. She’s fine. You will be too, if you cooperate.”

Johnny’s fists clenched, his protective instincts kicking in. “What do you want?”

“Sento,” Kenshi replied, his eyes narrowed.

Johnny raised an eyebrow, intrigued yet skeptical. “You some kind of hired gun? Or do you know Sento’s history?”

“I know it. It’s my family blade.”

“No. No way you’re Taira clan. They’ve been dead for centuries.”

“Not dead. Hiding. With Sento in my hands, I’ll lead us out of the shadows.”

Johnny smirked, shaking his head. “That’s a great plan, stranger. Except for one thing. Sento is mine. And I won’t give it up without a fight.”

As the tension escalated, Airlea felt Johnny’s heartbeat quicken beneath her. He was still holding her in his hand, but suddenly, he shifted her, and before she could protest, he stuffed her into the chest pocket of his shirt.

“Hey! What are you doing?” she squeaked, feeling the fabric envelop her like a snug cocoon.

“Shh,” Johnny whispered, glancing down at her. “You’re too small to be out here right now. You’ll be safe here.”

She blinked in surprise, the warmth of his body surrounding her. “Safe? I’m not some prop, Johnny!”

“Trust me, this is better,” he said, his voice firm but laced with a hint of concern. “Just stay put until I handle this.”

With her tucked securely inside his pocket, Airlea could hear the muffled sounds of the confrontation. She wanted to argue, to remind him that she was more than just a tiny fan, but the reality of the situation pressed heavily on her.

As Johnny faced Kenshi, she could feel the tension in his muscles through the fabric, the way his body prepared for action. Airlea’s mind raced. She’d come to admire him from a distance, but now, she was right in the thick of it.

What have I gotten myself into? she thought, anxiety mixing with exhilaration as the events unfolded around her.

 After Johnny expertly tied Kenshi to a chair, he stepped back, a smirk on his face. “My house, my rules. So, you have a name or what?”

“Kenshi Takahashi,” the man replied, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face.

“Ha! I knew you weren’t Taira clan.”

Kenshi scoffed. “You know nothing, Cage.”

“Four hundred years ago, the Taira clan were one of Japan’s first families. They lost Sento after getting slaughtered at the Siege of Aomori.”

“There were survivors. They hid themselves by shedding the name Taira for Takahashi. They joined the Bakuto for its protection.”

“The Yakuza’s predecessors... From first family to crime family.”

“I will break us free of the Yakuza’s corruption. Reclaim our name and our position. But my clan won’t follow me unless I prove that I can lead. That’s why I need Sento.”

Meanwhile, inside his pocket, Airlea had been simmering with frustration. Unable to take it anymore, she began to bang on his chest. “Johnny! Let me out of here!”

“Not now, Airlea,” he replied, his focus still on Kenshi.

“Now! You can’t just stuff me in here and expect me to stay quiet!” She continued to pound against the fabric, her tiny fists thumping against his chest.

Finally, Johnny sighed and opened his pocket, allowing her to wiggle free. “Okay, okay. You win!” He gently set her down on the table beside him.

Airlea glared up at him, hands on her hips. “You’re such an asshole for putting me through that! I could’ve gotten hurt!”

Johnny chuckled, raising an eyebrow. “Not the first time I’ve been called that, you know.”

“Seriously?” she exclaimed, exasperated. “You think this is a joke?”

“Hey, I’m just trying to keep you safe, alright?” he said, his expression softening a little.

“By shoving me in your pocket?” she shot back, crossing her arms.

“It was a last resort,” Johnny replied, a playful grin spreading across his face. “Besides, I was trying to protect my tiny fan.”

As the tension between Airlea and Johnny escalated, Kenshi’s eyes darted between the two. “You both are acting like children,” he interjected, his voice calm but firm. “If you’re going to argue, at least do it with purpose.”

Airlea shot a glare at Johnny, crossing her arms. “See? Even the guy tied to the chair thinks you’re being unreasonable!”

Kenshi nodded, “She has a point, Cage. Stuffing her in your pocket was not the best choice.”

Johnny looked between them, exasperated. “Alright, I get it! But I was just trying to protect her!”

“By making her feel like a prop?” Kenshi replied. “That’s not protection; that’s condescension.”

“Exactly! Now you know you’re wrong when the guy tied to the chair agrees with me!” Airlea added, crossing her arms defiantly.

Kenshi smirked slightly, pleased to see them both finally understanding the ridiculousness of the situation. “And you both should just—”

“Shut up!” they both said in unison, turning to him with matching expressions of annoyance.

Kenshi raised an eyebrow, then chuckled. “It’s funny how she has just as big of an ego as you Cage.”

Johnny sighed, shaking his head. “Can we focus on the issue at hand instead of my ‘pocketing’ habits?”

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, interrupting their tension-filled moment.

“And that’s Malibu’s Finest. It’s a great story. Bullshit... but great. You should seriously consider becoming a screenwriter.”

He opened the door to reveal Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion standing solemnly behind it.

“What in the actual fu—”

“Good evening, Johnny Cage. I am Liu Kang, Protector of Earthrealm. May we enter?”

“Uh... Nothing’s being shot here tonight. You sure you’re in the right place?”

“Yes. We come on a matter of grave importance. We must speak to you and your guests.”

“What? How do you know about them?” Johnny asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.

“Because I am the God of Fire.”

“Cris, you vixen. Nicely done. Sure. Come right in. Glowing eyes are a nice touch.”

Liu Kang stepped forward. “Kenshi Takahashi. A tragic figure with a noble cause. Your actions this evening do you no credit. Airlea Baros. Daughter of the great Lin Kuei and Umgadi warrior Ariadne Baros. Now cursed with no recollection of her life before.”

Kenshi, still tied to the chair, looked between them, bewildered. “Who are these people?”

“You tell me. They’re your scene partners,” Johnny replied, rolling his eyes.

Liu Kang continued, his tone grave. “I also know of your struggles, Johnny Cage. I am here to offer the three of you a path forward.”

Airlea felt a mix of curiosity and apprehension as she stood beside Johnny, her heart racing. “What do you mean a path forward? What does that even entail?”

Liu Kang met her gaze with a sense of urgency. “There are greater threats looming over Earthrealm, and we need your skills to face them. Together, we can uncover the truth of your past and reclaim your destiny.”

Kenshi added, his voice steady, “And perhaps, even find a way to free myself from the Yakuza’s hold.”

Johnny looked between them, his expression shifting from skepticism to intrigue. “Alright, I’m listening. But I’m still not convinced you’re not just here to audition for my next movie.”

Airlea couldn’t help but smirk at his comment, even as the weight of the situation pressed down on her. “Johnny, focus. This is serious!”

Johnny Cage stood in disbelief. “Dun, dun, duuuun. C'mon guys. Let's call this. Cris was a doll to set this up, but... As pranks go, this one's... eh... a bit obvious.”

“This is no prank,” Liu Kang stated, his voice steady and commanding. “Bi-Han, Kuai Liang. If you please?”

“Alright, alright,” Johnny replied, still laughing, “I'll play my part in this martial arts LARP. The missus ought to get what she paid for.” He cleared his throat and began, “Hey you—wait, wait... Hey, you! Get your damn hands off him. I said... Get your hands off—”

A groan escaped him as Sub-Zero struck first, punching him hard. Airlea, watching in horror, yelled for Sub-Zero to leave Johnny alone, her eyes glowing purple for a brief moment before the energy flickered out. Sub-Zero swiftly froze her in a thin ice block.

“Was that necessary, brother?” Scorpion questioned, stepping back slightly.

“To put them in their place, they both have big egos,” Sub-Zero replied coolly.

Johnny was incredulous, his gaze flickering between Airlea and Sub-Zero. “That was a Hichuli, and you messed with my tiny fan! Both one of a kind! I don’t care if this is a damned prank. You crossed the line by touching her!”

After a heated battle, Johnny finally defeated Sub-Zero. “And scene. I hope you're insured because you're paying for my Hichuli.” He rushed over to Airlea, scooping her up gently to prevent her from succumbing to hypothermia. He rubbed his hands together, blowing warmth onto her frozen form. With gentle yet firm hands, he scooped her tiny body up, cradling her against his chest. She barely reached his shoulder, her small frame dwarfed by his powerful build. As he pulled her close, the warmth radiating from his body enveloped her like a cozy blanket, and she felt the heat of his breath ruffle her hair, providing a stark contrast to the chill that had gripped her moments ago.

“You’re freezing,” he murmured, rubbing her back to thaw her from the ice. His hands were warm and reassuring, sending soothing waves through her as he breathed softly on her, melting away the remnants of the icy prison that had trapped her.

“J-Johnny? I-I'm cold,” Airlea stammered, looking up at him with wide eyes.

“It’s okay, I’ve got you.” He held her close to his chest, knowing she wouldn’t allow this level of intimacy under normal circumstances.

“Let me help,” Scorpion offered.

“No, don’t touch her! Hasn’t your friend done enough?” Johnny snapped, though Scorpion touched her anyway, thawing the ice.

As Scorpion’s touch thawed the ice, Airlea felt an immediate warmth wash over her. The frigid grip that had held her captive melted away, replaced by a comforting heat that surged through her tiny body. She shivered briefly before her muscles relaxed, the chill of fear dissipating.

Johnny gently set her down on a side table, his hands lingering at her sides for just a heartbeat longer, ensuring she was steady on her feet. “See? All better,” he said, a hint of relief in his voice.

“Thanks.” She mumbled as she sat crossed legged on the desk that was right by Johnny.

Johnny faced Sub-Zero, anger radiating from him. “Are you out of your mind?! You could have killed her.”

“Imbecile! You two have no idea with whom you’re dealing!” Sub-Zero shot back.

“ENOUGH!” Liu Kang’s voice boomed, flames engulfing him and drawing attention from both Johnny and Airlea.

“Uh... That's no special effect,” Johnny muttered, glancing at the fire alarm blaring.

“Indeed, Johnny Cage. Kuai Liang?” Liu Kang continued, calming the situation.

“Okay, let’s go back to one here. Who are you again?” Johnny asked, still bewildered.

“Lord Liu Kang. Protector of Earthrealm. God of Fire,” Liu Kang introduced himself.

“Well, that last one tracks. But... what’s an Earthrealm?”

“All will be explained, Johnny Cage. For now, what is important is that you three have been chosen to join its champions.”

“Why him? Why her? Or me for that matter?” Johnny questioned, his arms crossed, skepticism evident in his tone.

“Because I have faith that you will rise to the challenge. Because your service will change the arcs of your lives.”

this is very important are you a chasing cars person or the man who can't be moved person. (in other words i absolutely adore your character playlists and your narcissa black one has me frothing at the mouth)

Jesus Christ. This is like the Mortal Kombat of Irish sadrock. Okay.

When you put Gary Lightbody in a contest against someone who's not Gary Lightbody (co-author of "The Last Time" ft. Taylor Swift a.k.a. Movement 1 of the "let's ruin GT's fucking evening" Swift quartet) then there's only so many things I can say. I like the Script. But who's their Gary Lightbody? Gary fucking Lightbody? A songwriter inspired by the poetry of Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney? A professional musician who said THIS about his technical abilities?

TLDR: "Chasing Cars" made me cry when I was a teenager and watching shitty fanvids in bed. And it still hits.

[paladin-of-nerd-fandom65]

Hi I got more questions about the starburst duo!

1: what’s their favorite video games?

2: what is their favorite anime and/or cartoons?

3: Chris has a brotherly/uncle relationship with Kon-El/Conner, what’s Jake’s relationship like with Kon-el?

4: you know how in some movies and tv shows a pair of best friends would get into a fight and act like: “your not my best friend anymore!” And towards the end they get back together, has that happen before between the two of them?

5: what’s the rouge galley for the both of them?

Silly question :p

6: on a scale of 1-10, how likely are they gonna aim for the crotch against a dude villain/goon? Speaking of that what’s their reaction seeing that stuff in movies like how in the first kung fu panda movie Po got hit in the tenders?

(Cracks Fingers while grinning wildly)

Back for more I see, my friend? Very well then…

1) In no particular order, they’d like (in spite of Dick and Lois having some second thoughts in allowing them for playing M Rated titles)

Mortal Kombat

Blitz The League

Cuphead

Dark Souls

Asura’s Wrath,

and perhaps their all time favorite,

The Rockband series (out of them, The Beatles Rockband being their top one. Chris can do both Vocals and Bass while Jake does Drums and Harmonies)

2) Dragon Ball…basically all of Dragon Ball. Whether it’s The OG, Kai, GT, or the upcoming Daima, they’ll be lined up in their best shirts that are either patterned after Piccolo’s outfit or have the Z Fighters on it with their snacks by their side on the couch and engage with an all night marathon of episodes and films. Their favorite character is unanimously Son Gohan

3) Those two get along as good friends though from Jake hears about Conner courtesy of his Uncle Tim and ‘Aunite’ Cassie, whenever Conner inevitably screws up with trying to win a girlfriend off the streets with his egotistical charms and attitude, Jake gleefully takes the chance for snarking about that screw up, much to Conner’s conniption.

Aside from that though, the two make it a sworn oath on working together for making sure Chris is safe and secure from the threats even he’s too great to handle, whether externally or especially his own internal ones including tendencies of low self esteem and fears of abandonment. Conner and Jake are there for him no matter what

4) Much to even their own surprise, not exactly. Yes, there have been moments the two have gone separately from each other before reuniting in full but the thing is, they never had said to each other that they’re no longer friends. They’re never actively taking pot shots or any sort of bad mouth each other even during their lowest points in their friendship.

In fact, it’s because of their close friendship, it’s how they’re able to communicate the message of “Hey Man, I really like to hang out with you but I don’t if it’s the right time right now. Maybe a little later? Still love ya as a friend btw” with little to no words whether it’s face to face or via phone texts. They have mutual respect and understanding of those moments and take their time.

Once they have a chance though, like say in the middle of a crisis or few, they’ll rush to each other’s aid and make up for it once it’s all said and done. Even in a hypothetical Civil War between all the superheroes which has the two in opposite sides would have a similar pattern between them.

5) I once answered this in a earlier ask but I feel like it’s the perfect time for a sort of expansion to that list. Some names here would be old classics while maybe one or two would be OCs of mine for villains.

General Dru Zod (Chris’ birth father and somewhat arch nemesis due to his….very tough love approach to put it very very mildly think of their relationship akin to say Omni Man and Invincible)

Mr Victor Zsasz (Jake’s own Gotham based arch enemy due to a particular case involving street orphans and urchins forcibly fighting a gladiator style tournament to the death and Jake facing Zsasz face to face at the climax of said case, a duel involving a rather brutal beat down since Jake’s powers were shut down briefly that includes a sharp blade and that old damned crowbar)

The Gordanians (Since Jake’s mother is Kory aka Starfire, it should be pretty self explanatory and easy to understand his dislike for these particular aliens)

Deathstroke the Terminator (Similar enough reason to the Gordanians only in this case it’s via what he done to Dick throughout the years as a Titan, whether it includes the forced apprenticeship or other misdeeds)

The Court of Owls (not only due to both Mar’i and Jake being offsprings of the ‘Gray Son’ but they also can sense Chris somehow being a unique sort that distinguishes him from the other Kryptonians (I.e. his unique physiology courtesy of his birth in the Phantom Zone and being a host for the Nightwing entity) that they can claim for themselves, an evolutionary step in their arsenal of Talons)

Cinderblock (The big dumb concrete lug frequently challenges Chris and Jake for a challenge in Bludhaven’s streets which they’re all too happy to take. He’s fun for them to take on)

Xa Du, The Phantom King (As the main ruler of the Phantom Zone himself, he naturally sees Chris as an obstacle to his own path of universal domination)

(And time for some OCs I have in mind)

NKVDemon (an ex-Spetznaz and apprentice of the KGBeast though his goals and methods are far more grand and widespread in comparison than his mercenary teacher’s. While not a cyborg like KGBeast or enhanced like Deathstroke, he’s dangerously intelligent, at peak human condition and utterly ruthless to the core)

Lion Master (a constantly bullied street orphan who ran to join a traveling circus where became the apprentice of an old kindly lion tamer, it all truly went downhill during one performance at Ivy Town when due to a simple mistake on his part, the kid ended up causing the old tamer’s unfortunate demise in front of the crowds, leading to him being kicked out of the circus he called home and the lions ordered in being out down. Not willing to see the felines he can call his friends meet their ends, the orphan frees the four big cats. Now with nothing left to lose and returning to the streets once more, the old tanner’s apprentice turns to a life of petty crime with his four kings of the jungle by his side and at his beckon command; competing his transformation into the Lion Master. Has a beef yet also somewhat a bond with Skybird due to their own connections to the circus yet Skybird and Nightwing ‘Phantom’ always foil his crimes)

La Llorona (‘The Weeping Woman’ herself; the Duo once encountered her during a vacation their families were taking in Mexico. A one time antagonist who they actually were able to communicate with in order to help her find peace with them but certainly a memorable one)

The monkeys and undead guardians of El Dorado (Ling story incredibly short, Time Travel shenanigans had Chris and Jake land in the a time lopping ancient city of gold with these monkeys and zombified warriors attacking the intruders almost every step of their way within their adventure to escape)

Vla-Bol (A Kryptonian juvenile delinquent who led an equivalent of a street gang doing all sorts of petty crimes and ruled their city streets/Hallways with an iron fist. At first, The Kryptonian High Coucil had Vla drafted into basically boot camp under the command of an ancestor of a certain Kryptonian General, Grand Admiral Gro-Zod. Unfortunately for Vla, despite or maybe because of taking the Admiral’s teachings and philosophy to heart, he went on committing plenty of bad conduct and failed to hold back his fury during war time as a Private. For this misconduct, Vla-Bol was banished to the Phantom Zone at the age of only 14 years, swearing vengeance on the House of Zod for this indignity. It just centuries later and once he finally is able to leave the Zone and find planet Earth, there happens on being a descendent of the old Admiral, Lor Zod aka Chris. Vla-Bol is an utter show off and Grade A jerk who flaunts his powers without any hesitation or second thought. Powers that are surprisingly deviant from standard Kryptonian ones as while yes he can fly, lift extremely heavy objects and exhibit super human speeds, for one he relies on Moonlight to fuel them. Also, in place of heat vision and x ray vision, Vla-Bol instead can make copies of himself composed of shadows and summon dark energy from the Zone itself, capable of leveling entire city blocks at the palm of his hands)

(*Phew* I think that should do it lol)

6) Chris: 3, Clark taught him well enough to not resort to dirty tricks in fighting his opponents

Jake: 10, Being raised in Bludhaven by Nightwing and having Red Hood as an Uncle….it’s pretty obvious he would fight dirty like they can lol

As for their reactions, both of them would giggling at those moments.

Okey Dokey, I’m pretty sure that’s a plenty for my answers, Anon

If there’s any suggestions to add or constructive criticisms, please Reblog/Reply. It’ll be very appreciated ;-)

Bio F.R.E.A.K.S.

NA release: 19th May 1998

PAL release: September 1998

JP release: N/A

Developer: Saffire, Midway

Publisher: Midway (NA) GT (PAL)

N64 Magazine Score: 76%

I really had no idea that the N64 had so many people trying to claim the title of being the N64’s fighting game. In BioFREAKS, the concept is that in a dystopian future, people have been modified into grotesque monsters (although, predictably, the female characters aren’t modified as much). The only notable character to me was a fish monster, although he oddly throws up blood before and after matches.

A couple of things set BioFREAKS apart. First is the hover, where you can fly. This doesn’t seem that well integrated into the fighting and is mainly used to making distance, as this fighting game relies a lot on projectile attacks, which don’t even need special attacks to use. Levels are a 3D but not that interesting, although a couple do make use of the flying.

Do enough damage to an opponent and they may lose limbs and lose some of their attacks. I think this is supposed to look gruesome (as with the whole game), but it all comes across as laughably silly, unlike the gore in Mortal Kombat.

This isn’t bad, but it’s just another fighting game on the N64.

Overall, Bio FREAKS is a pretty good game, far above average, certainly. However, for all but the most committed beat-’em-up fan, it’s not really enough of anything to be an essential purchase.
