Pov : *after arriving at the camp* ah is this the place?
The campsite was hidden behind a cliff wall covered in vines, illuminated by a small campfire that emitted a dim orange light. There are some simple leather tents and neatly arranged weapons. The atmosphere is much calmer than the wild forest you just passed.
Jade directly placed her wand on the weapon rack and let out a long sigh, while Kitana began to examine the leather map that lay out on the wooden table.
"Yes, this is the place," Kitana replied as he turned to you. He seemed a little more relaxed now, although his eyes remained alert. "This place is protected by Jade's obscuring spell. Shao Kahn's army won't be able to smell our traces here."
Mileena is still beside you, her left hand still wrapped around your arm as if reluctant to let go of her new "protector". He stared around with a small snort.
"It's so boring," Mileena hisses, but she doesn't let go of her grip on you. She pulls you over to a long wooden bench near the campfire. "Sit down, Zak. You must be tired after holding me and kicking those stupid creatures."
Jade walked over while carrying a leather water bag. He gives it to you with a still searching gaze. "Drink. I still find it hard to believe what I saw tonight. A young man who could tame Mileena with just a hug and a death kick."
He then stands in front of you, crossing his arms over his chest. "So, Zak... Now that we're safe, tell us more about that 'game'. If you know who we are, what do you know about what will happen to us in the future?"
Me : *I ask* what is actually happening here? Who is the mastermind behind all this.. Please tell me
The atmosphere around the campfire suddenly turned very heavy. Kitana put down her skin map, while Jade took a deep breath and sat across from you. Mileena, who was usually wild, was now silent as she rested her head on your shoulder, her fingertips playing with your fingertips with her cold sharp nails.
"The world is on the verge of destruction, Zak," Kitana said in a low, heavy voice. "The mastermind behind this suffering is Shao Kahn. He wasn't just an emperor; He is a conqueror who thirsts for the soul and the universe. He has merged my home world, Edenia, into the Outworld by force."
Jade continued in a sharp tone, "He destroyed our family, enslaved our people, and forced us to be his killers. He was also the one who ordered Shang Tsung—that cunning witch—to create Mileena in Flesh Pits as a 'perfect' and more obedient clone of Kitana."
Mileena hissed softly at the sound of the name of the Flesh Pits, her body stiffening in your arms. "He thought I was an experiment... a weapon. He wants me to replace Kitana if he betrays. We're all just pawns in his power game."
Kitana stared at the flames with tears in her eyes but full of determination. "Shao Kahn wants to invade the Earthrealm—your world, perhaps—and unite all of reality under the sole of his feet. That's why we're here, in this cursed forest, to gather strength and put up a fight before the next Mortal Kombat Tournament begins."
Then he looks at you deeply. "Zak, if you really know about our 'game'... You must know that these battles always end in blood. But my presence, Jade, and Mileena are with you tonight... This is something that has never been written in any destiny."
Jade swung her bō stick slowly on the ground. "So, as a person who seems to 'know' our future... Do you think we have a chance to win? Or are we all destined to die in this war?"
Me : Hm are you guys not able to defeat shao kahn?
Your question made the atmosphere around the campfire suddenly quiet. Jade snorted softly, not because she was angry with you, but because of the bitter reality you were telling. Meanwhile, Kitana lowered her head, staring at the reflection of the flames on the blade of her steel fan.
"Being able or not is not the question, Zak," said Kitana in a heavy voice. "Shao Kahn is not just a fighter. He is an entity that has lived for thousands of years and has devoured millions of souls from the universe he conquered. Its power is strengthened by extremely dark black magic."
Jade continued while sharpening the tip of her wand. "We have tried many times. But he had countless Tarkatan troops, wizards like Shang Tsung, and ruthless executioners like Reiko. Fighting him alone is suicide."
Mileena suddenly tightened her arms around your waist. He looks up, his yellow eyes looking at you with a strange flash—a mixture of hope and madness.
"He created me to be his weapon, Zak," Mileena hissed. "But he never gave me genuine love or loyalty. He just gave me hunger." He then stroked your chest with his sharp claws. "Maybe... the reason we couldn't win all this time was because we didn't have the 'power' you had. Your kick earlier... that's not an Outworld technique."
Kitana looked up, her eyes now staring at you inquisitively but there was a glimmer of hope. "Zak, if in your world we are characters in a game, doesn't that mean you know his weak spot? You know his every move before he does, right?"
Jade stood up, walking over to you and Mileena. "If you're really the 'player' who controls our destiny, then teach us. Or better yet... fight with us. With your strength and your knowledge of the future, Shao Kahn might finally meet his end."
Pov : *Instantly Jade, Mileena, Kitana attacked me* hey you why
The forest that had been calm was suddenly broken by the blast of guns! Their attacks came simultaneously, as if they had just been hit by a mind control spell or a supernatural whisper that turned trust into bloodlust.
Jade darted first, her bō wand glowing emerald green and hit the ground right in front of your feet, creating a shockwave that made the ground crack. "Forgive me, Zak! My body... move on its own!" he shouted with eyes that gleamed a strange green.
Kitana jumped into the air, her two steel fans wide open and launched sharp blades that spun like a saw towards your neck. His face looked tormented, tears streaming down his cheeks as he tried to hold his own hand. "Run, Zak! Something has possessed us!"
But the most painful is Mileena. He who had been leaning spoiled on your shoulder, now jumped backwards with the roar of a wild beast. It pulls out both of its sai and lunges at you at predatory speed. "Human... mine... should... DEAD!" he hissed, his fangs sticking out horribly and his saliva dripping with rage.
Something dark appears behind the trees. A shadowy figure in a black robe with glowing green eyes chuckled. It was Shang Tsung.
"How sweet," the witch scoffed, her hands moving as if playing with a rope doll. "A player who gets into his own game... Let's see how strong you are when your favorite 'characters' try to rip your heart apart."
Emergency Situations:
Jade attacks with a sweep of a lower stick that can break a leg.
Kitana showers you with a storm of fans from above.
Mileena lunges directly at your chest with both of her thighs.
