In the world of Kelan lives a young boy. A streeturchin without a family or a home tries to survive every day by stealing untill he is found by a member of a very special guild.
Soon after, he is trained by a guild of assasins to become one of them and his live changes completely.


Since I was a young little Areshuls I always wanted to write but I lacked any skills in writing and story making.
When I saw the deadliest warrior forums, I saw a oppertunity to practise my writing and write some awesome battles.

Every single battle and every story I have done thusfar have prepared me for the story I am about to begin.
Its a own original story and I try to write it as much as a book as possible.
this means that there will be more story and less fighting and I might change a chapter after I have published it for any reason.
I willl post the chapters because I may want to have some test readers, some advisers and just opinions of my writing friends.
this book may take years to make and I will just see where it ends, having no deadline yet.

As for the title, I will be using the working title of: The shadow

During the writing process, I also will write some short matches just for the fun of it. These matches can be both historical and fantasy.
Matches that will come out some day:
Atilla the Hun Vs. Vercingetorix
Hassasins Vs. Ninja's
Avatar Aang Vs. Sora
Landsknechte Vs. Scottish Highlander
Jack Sparrow Vs. Captain Hook


I hope I have informed you guys enough and If you have questions, let me know

I.O.F Chapter 8: There can be only one

Batman and the Hero had gotten to know each other very well by the time they had arrived at the base of the tower. They had talked about their pasts, the reasons to come to this island and the strenght that both of them possesed. They had agreed that Batman would use his cunning and guile to be the brains of this attack while the Hero would be the main defence of both of them and the brawn. They also had decided that should one fall, the other would continue to fight and take out the host of the tournament.
Neither fighter knew what to expect in the tower and both of them prepared for the worst.
After having arrived at the building, Batman had spend the full night to find a hidden entree or weak point to the tower but he was unable to do so.
Knowing that time was of a issue, the two needed to get into the tower before the host would find out where they were.
"I am going to regret this.' Batman spoke as he put explosive gell on a wall.' 'regret what?' The Hero asked. 'Fighting alongside you while you kill people.' Came the answer. It was something that had gnawed at him the whole night and he wished he had thought about that earlier. The Hero chuckled. 'Either we kill them or they kill us. Now you do not want to kill and I am fine with that but that does not mean that I won't kill.'
Batman thought about it and even though he did not like it, he had no other option. He now wished that other members of the justice leage were here. Together, they would have be able to take out the leader without resorting to killing. But the justice leage was not around and Batman had to manage on his own.

'Ready?' Batman asked. As a response, the hero only nodded. He was holding his sword and stood stood ready to jump into action as soon as the wall got blown away. The Bat then pushed on a button and a explosion took part of the wall away. The hero stepped into the hole a second later and saw stunned soldiers in front of him. He first slashed at the opponent most close to him and hit the unmasked guard in the neck. He then speeded forwards to the middle of the room and rammed his fist on the ground. A ring of fire erupted from  the flour and took out the other three guards.
Batman stepped into the hole in the wall and saw that they had entered the sleeping quarters of some soldiers. As he made his way towards his ally, the door opened and two guards appeared. Batman quickly threw two batarangs that disarmed the clones and the Hero moved in. The Hero slashed the first one in the neck, just below the helmet and delived a thrust into the chest of the other one. The two clones went down quickly and Batman grabbed one of the rifles. He had never seen such weapons before and after shooting a wall, he found out that the weapon fired beams of energy instead of bullets. Batman was not shure if his armour would deflect these bolts and he was not planning to find out the hard way. Suddenly a alarm sounded throughout the building and that gave the two warriors a painfull realisation. The opponents knew that they were in the tower.
The two walked into a long hallway and Batman opened a door, only to see the barrel of a rifle close to him. Batman reacted swiftly and pushed the weapon into the face of his opponent and then pulled the weapon away. He followed up with a punch to the face that send his opponent to the ground. Batman pulled the mask off and delivered  a knock out blow.
He looked at the face and it struck him again how all the soldiers looked alike. He had seen this oddity when entering the tower and was really suprised by it. Batman quickly reminded himself to research these strangers and their weapons more as soon as he had taken out the leader and then continued.
As the two walked around a corner, they saw a full squad of guards with their weapons aimed at the two heroes. The clones fired the weapons and the duo was just able to turn around the corner they just came from again to avoid being shot. The Oakvale warrior held up his hand and suddenly, a fireball formed in his hand. As the warrior held the fireball, it become larger and gave out high sounds whenever it became bigger. When the fireball was very large, the Hero stepped around the corner and fired it. As the ball hit the group of soldiers, the clones fell on the ground. The hero took out Skorm's bow and fired arrows at the clones that survived the fireball. These three soldiers went down also and the journey could continue.

Shang Tsung walked down a pair of stairs. One of the two surviving warriors had managed to enter the tower and was causing havoc.
When the sirene had sounded, Angst had ordered Shang Tsung to deal with this person. 'Shut the alarm off.' the sorcered commanded a guard as he entered the dining room.
There, he met up with another clone who saluted and told Shang Tsung about how Batman and the Hero of Oakvale were thrashing the place.
Shang Tsung realised that these two were forming a larger problem then he thought. They were destroying the plan of Tsung and if he did not act soon, he would not be able to betray his master.
These two also proved more of a problem then Shang Tsung anticipated and he suddenly got scared that they might overwhelm him. He had five clone soldiers with him in the dining room and knew that he could not take any risks now. Shang Tsung took the orb and looked into it. He then moved his hand while he muttered. The first soul he took into him was that of Eric Cartman. He had aimed for another one but this one popped up for some reason. After the soul was fully consumed, Shang Tsung got slightly fatter and he suddenly got a hatred of jews, hippies and redheads. Shang Tsung then consumed the second soul, which was Sub-Zero. He felt the powers of ice entering his body while his arms got a blue colour. The third soul was that of Reaver and Shang Tsung noticed that his eyes became more narrow and he could see sharper.
Shang Tsung then reached for the soul of Ryu Hayabusa but before he could consume it, something hit his hand and he dropped the orb.
The orb shattered and Shang Tsung yelled in anger as he saw how the souls escaped their prison and fled through the ceiling.
Shang Tsung looked at the ground and saw a black metal object on the ground. Realising who threw it, he turned and saw the two enemy warriors running towards him. He fired burning skulls at Batman and the Hero and saw how they hit target and send the two backwards. His new powers really helped well. He then froze the Hero with a freezeball while Batman turned a table to hide behind.
Shang Tsung was happy with his new power and knew that he would have absorbed the souls sooner if he had known that he could chance the effect by simple magic. He would first kill these two idiots and absorb the souls. He would then walk up to Angst and kill the master of fear once and for all.

Batman spoke quicky to the Hero and outlined his plan. Just as he was finished, the table and got shattered when a burning skull hit it.
'let us do it now.' Batman spoke as he threw a smoke grenade at Shang Tsung. When the smoke surrounded the sorcerer, the Hero of Oakvale ran towards him with a sword in the hand and yelling loud.
Shang Tsung could not see anyhing and knew he had to act soon. He morphed into the blind swordsman Kenshi and used the telekenetic powers of Kenshi to slam the Hero in a wall. Shang Tsung then stepped out of the smoke and morphed back into himself. Just as he was himself again, a batarang with a rope connected to it flew around him and tied Shang Tsung up.
Shang Tsung burned the rope and was free seconds after being tied up but did not see that Batman flew from the ceiling and hit Shang Tsung in the chest. While the Hero was distracting Tsung, Batman had been able to his grappling hook and get a height advantage on the opponent. Now it his turn to distract the sorcerer.
Shang Tsung fell on the ground with a suprised look on his face and as Batman was walking up to him again, Tsung used a freezebeam to cover Batman in ice. Shang Tsung stood up and before he could deliver another blow to his frozen opponent, he felt a pain in his back. The pain soared through him and he saw how the tip of a sword came out of his body. Batman thawt out as Shang Tsung fell to his knees. Just after the Hero had pulled the sword out, green energy started to leave Shang Tsung as all of his victims were finally free.
After the souls had left, Shang Tsung started to change. He become older with the second and stopped when there was only a skeleton left, that collapsed to the ground.
'Damn. I have seen some skeletons but this one is the ugliest.'  The Hero commented. Batman smiled slightly. He was happy that the plan had worked perfectly and they had now taken out a dangerous opponent, altough he still regretted that the man had to be killed for it.

The two heroes stepped through the other door of the dinnerroom and as they enterered another room, a clonesoldier saw that the sorcerer had failed and raised his weapon to fire it. Before hey could accomplish it, Batman grabbed the weapon and forced it out of the hands of the user. He then hit the clone trooper with the gun he just took from the same opponent.
After having walked through another room, a hallway and two sets of stairs, the two fighters came walking into a large room where 8 clone soldiers waited for them.
The two ducked away to avoid being hit. The Hero then rushed towards the guards and when he was near, he used berserk. The guards got knocked away as the Hero grew in size and strenght. He then slashed at the guards around him and took them out one by one. The last one died when the clone recieved a thrust with the sword in the back of his head.
After the Hero of Oakvale was done, the two warriors continued their travel.

Angst sat silently in front of his tv, which was turned off. He hated waiting for he was used to get what he wanted as soon as he wanted. He now had no choise but to wait for his opponents to come.
Angst was completely unprepared. It had never crossed his mind that the warriors from the tournament would succeed into getting in the tower and it had flabbergasted Angst and he was really happy that he had decided to aborb the souls of two of the warriors. If the fighting would be brought here, these powers would help.
The master of the tournament had heard from a clone soldier that Shang Tsung had died and that the orb was broken. Angst did not care much about Tsung, the fool wanted to attack Angst anyway and this way, he did not need to kill the sorcerer himself. It was the orb he was angry about because that meant that the past months of preperation and this whole tournament were for nothing and that he needed to start all over again as soon as these two pests had been dealt with.
Angst heard a cry and less then a second later, his door exploded into his appartment. Followed by the door was the burned body of the clone soldier who had the job to guard it.
When the two intruders entered the apartment, Angst spoke. 'How dare you enter my domain, You fools. You will be destroyed.' Batman spoke in return. 'There are two of us and only one of you. You cannot fight both of us without your soldiers so I suggest that you surrender now and accept your punishment.'
Angst smiled after hearing Batman and used his newly found psychic powers to lift up the tv and throw it at the Bat.
The tv missed target and the two warriors instantly reacted to fight the creater of this madness.

Batman threw two batarangs at Angst but the former god used a shield of fire to protect himself. The Hero then closed the distance on Angst and let sword fly. The firewall blocked the attack and Angst grabbed his mace. He moved it downwards and the Hero fell on his knees. The Oakvale Hero suddenly saw his sister die and following her, he saw how Whisper and the Guildmaster died because he had not been able to protect them.
While the Hero was in trance, Angst attacked Batman with fire while the latter kept his face hidden in his cape.
When Angst stopped, Batman attacked. The detective started with disarming Angst and then kicked him in the chest. When the mace fell on the ground, the Oakvale Hero suddenly opened his eyes again.
Angst recieved the attack of Batman and used his psychic abilities to push Batman away and drew his sword.
The batsuit got some serious hits before Batman could respond and Angst then used his telekenesis to throw the dark knight into a closet. The Hero of Oakvale responded and attacked with his own sword.
The two warriors fought as beasts with their longswords. each blocked and attacked the opponent. Both of them also used their special powers to inflict damage on the other. \
Angst touched into the fear of the Hero and as soon as the man fell down, Angst unleashed a powerfull fireattack and followed up with some slashed and send the Hero on the ground. Before Angst could finish his opponent off, Batman flew at him.
Batman rammed his foot against the hand holding the sword while his left hand delivered a uppercut.
Angst fell on the ground and Batman closed in to finally take this monster down. Before he could do that, Batman suddenly saw his parents die in front of his eyes.
Using his psychic powers and the fire that was now everywhere, Angst manipulated the fear of Batman. Instead of seeing his parents die, Bruce now saw Gotham City burning. While his worst fears came true in his mind, Batman did not feel the punches that the mace delivered on his armour. Before Angst could slam the mace into the head of Batman, he got tackled.
The Hero had raised again and had used his bigger self to attack Angst. Angst avoided a first swordblow and took his sword in his free hand. Using a combination of weapons, Angst blocked a attack with his sword and attacked with his mace, hitting the helmet of the Hero.
Batman had also awakened again and the weakened warrior threw a batarang. The batarang hit the shoulder of Angst and the former god cried in anger and pain. 'You do not attack a god!' He yelled out and pushed the two away with his psychic powers.
Angst used his powers of fear to attack both opponents again but Batman had quickly broken through the illusions and had thrown a batarang that Angst was just able to block.
The almost god then used his psychic powers and the two weapons in his hand to enhance his next attack of fear.
While Angst was summoning his power, Batman took a batarang that had Scarecrow's fear toxins in it and the hero prepared himself for a will attack called devine fury.
As the batarang hit Angst and unleashed the toxins, the Hero used devine fury and Angst unleashed his power.
This strange combination of attacks made for a unusual result. The flames in the building became high and shadows suddenly appeared in them. It took very little time for Angst to see what happened. His own story, his only fear was played out in front of all three warriors.
From the fire leaped two people. One older person and someone who looked like Angst. The two, armed with a mace and a sword walked towards a throne where a third person sat. At once, the two started to attack the man on the throne but were held off by the man. Seconds later, other people appeared, dressed in various clothing. The two attackers were quickly surrounded and after a little struggle, the largest of the two attackers went down while the other was held tightly.
The man on the throne created a big black hole out of thin air and lifted the downed attacker up and the black hole sucked the man in. The black hole then dissapeared and left Angst standing.
One of the other men took a knife out of a sheath and after muttering a incartation, he ripped a rift, similair to those where Batman and the Hero came through. The man then grabbed Angst and allowed the man on the throne to finish a incartation. A blue appeared around Angst and when it dissapeared, he got dragged away by the man who created the rift. Before he could be thrown in, Angst took his sword while his captor was frozen in place. He then stabbed the man with his sword and ran to fetch the mace of his father. The other people were all stunned in suprise as Angst took the dagger from the dead man and jumped into the rift.

'Nooooo!' Yelled Angst and the people in the flames dissapeared. He pushed the Hero away with telekenetis but Batman threw two batarangs and disarmed Angst. After the almost god dropped his two weapons, Batman jumped towards him and kicked Angst in the stumach.
Batman then tried to grapple Angst while Angst himself took a dagger and thrusted it in the face of Batman. The dagger hit the lower teeth and cheek of the Bat and another thrust missed the big neckvessel by mere inches.
Angst took his mace from the ground and slammed it with all his power in the face of Batman while the bat himself thrusted a batarang into the arm of the master of the tournament.
Angst dropped his mace in pain as he looked at his wound. Before he could pick his mace up again, Angst got pushed away by a large fist that struck him. He dived for his sword and was pushed backwards by the now larger Hero who wielded his sword with ease.
As the tower started to shake, Angst teleported away.
the Master of the tournament landed on the grass just as the whole building collapsed.
Knowing that Batman was dead and hoping that the Hero was dead also, the master turned to look for his mace in the rubble. The fight had taken more energy then he had wished for and Angst knew he would have not been able to continue fighting any longer.

Suddenly, a man appeared from the rubble. It was the Hero of Oakvale. He was not shure if it was because he was a hero, the spirit of Batman that aided him or any other reason but he had survived. Feeling the spirits of Batman and Storm burning inside him, the Hero took his sword in a steady grip and attacked without mercy.
Angst got pushed backwards by this sudden but powerfull attack and lost space. He then changed the defensive position into a offensive one and the blades met with power.
The two fought very hard and put all their power in their strokes. Angst manages to slash the Hero across the chest but recieved a deep cut into his side himself, followed by a stab that took Angst in the left shoulder.
Feeling his power drain from him, Angst knew he had to act quicky or he would die. Dying meant that he would not see his plans succeed and he would never become the master.
In one last attempt to escape, Angst summoned fire that reached into the fear to distract his opponent. His powers of fear would not hold long and he would not be able to finish his opponent off. There was only one thing he could do now and that was escaping through a rift.
The Hero saw Oakvale burning but with the help of the two spirits in him, he managed to understand the illusion and it dissapeared in front of his eyes. The Hero then saw how his opponent was creating a rift and he created a fireball that hit the opponent in the back. He then followed up with a slashing attack and hit the exact same spot.
Because Angst had not finished his spell, the rift was open and unpredictable. While the two warriors were fighting, The Hero pushed a attack while Angst tried to defend himself with his dagger and sword. The dagger was dropped soon when his shoulder became too painfull and as the Hero pushed his attack again, both warriors fell through the rift.

The Hero fell through the rift and landed hard on his butt. He was weakened from the fight and he had entererd a strange world. His opponent was no-where to be seen and the rift had dissapeared also.
After he had been walking around this strange world with strange people and strange machines for a time, three men approached him. The first one had the upperhalf of his face covererd, the second was blue and very odd while third man had knifes coming out of his fist. 'We are the X-men.' The blue and hairy man spoke before the Hero could ask a question. 'You appeared from a portal that made a friend of us dissapeared in.' The man who had his eyes covered spoke.

Angst fell on the ground in pain. He did not know where the rift had brought him and he only hoped that it was somewhere where he would not have to fight soon. He was weak and about to collapse but he opened his eyes to see a red hairy think talk to a green hairy thing in a trashcan. Not shure which universe this was, Angst noticed that someone was walking towards him. He turned to see who it was and saw a coloured striped shirt, a long yellow face and black hair. The man that approached him had a large nose and a unibrow. Before Angst could do or say anything, he fainted.

I.O.F Chapter 7: The final countdown

Azula watched the tower. She had been walking for a day now and knew that she would be arriving at the base of the tower somewhere in the evening.
After entering this strange island, she had met up with her brother Zuko. Azula had been suprised to find her big brother on this island because she knew that he would not be able to handle any kind of power and power was the reason she was here. The boy claimed that their mother was hidden on the island but Azula was pretty shure that this was just a cover-up. As she had to wait, the fireprincess enjoyed herself with one of her favorite youth pasttimes, annyoing and taunting Zuko.
After that strange man had given his speech and the first battle had been fought, Azula had left the arena.her brother Zuko had been in the first fight and to little suprise, he had lost. It was only because of luck that he was not killed that instant. That he had lost was bad enough but that he did not die as he should was worse.
After the whole event in the arena, Azula had remained in the shadows. She had kept silent and hidden for the first few days so she could explore the island and find out more about her opponents.
Azula was almost done with her exploration and only needed to watch the big tower from upclose. She suspected that the man who organised the tournament lived here and she might pick up a few usefull things from the place.
After that, all the weak opponents would have been destroyed and Azula only needed to bother herself with the stronger opponents who were worth her time.
After everybody else was dead, the power was to grab and Azula would take out this master of the tournament.

Suddenly, Azula heard footsteps behind her and the woman warrior turned around quickly to see who approached. It was man with white skin, green hair and purple clothing. Azula had seen this man before and she was not very shure what to make off him. He was odd and did not seem much of a warrior but to have survived this long, he must have had some skill in combat.
The laugh the clown gave annoyed Azula much and the man walked towards her with a arrogance that was not suited for anyone but herself. Instead of attacking, this man simply walked towards Azula and kept on laughing. Just as he was right before her, the clown started talking. 'Well hello. What a beautiful young lady we have here.'
Azula was watching the man, constant on her guard so not to be attacked by suprise while this idiot was hitting on her. 'A flower for the lady.' The Joker spoke as he took the flower from his suit and moved it towards her. The firebender simply smiled as he burned the flower to ashes. This would scare this stranger, she though. To her surprise, Azula saw that the clown was not scared at all but merely suprised. From suprise, his face turned into a sad one and at last, the Joker started smiling and laughing again. 'You are really a hotty' the harlequin of hate commented.
Azula was now really pissed off at the clown and when the man wanted to shake her hand, she put him on fire, hoping to finally get rid off him.
Instead of screaming in pain, the clown just ran around and kept on yelling: 'Hot, Hot, Hot.' This was even more annoying then that laugh of the Joker and with the little selfcontroll that she still had, Azula focused her lighting and then fired it at the clown prince of crime. When the lighting hit the chest of the Joker, the clown fell down. It was a quick but unsatisfying death but at least he was silent.

Just as Azula wanted to continue her journey, someone spoke to her. 'So you finally managed to shut the Joker up?'
Azula looked up in surpise, only to find a man in a black suit standing in the shadow near a tree. 'So you want to die also?' Azula asked the man. Before Batman could respond, Azula attacked with a disk of fire and Batman had to jump away to avoid it.
Azula then followed up with a stream of fire that Batman could not avoid and he absorbed the fire with his suit and protected his face with his cape. Azula laughed as she saw how her fire hit the target. She then unleashed more blue flames. When she was done, Azula saw to her great surprise that her opponent was still standing.
Batman then threw a batarang at Azula, who dodged the projectile but was distracted enough not to notice that the dark knight was running towards her. When the female finally noticed her opponent, she recieved a kick in the stumach.
The two warriors started fighting each other in hand to hand combat and as Azula moved her hands to strike Batman, the Gotham protector blocked the attack and kicked her side with his knee. Batman then tried to grab Azula but she pushed her opponent away and kicked him in the chest.
Batman fell on the ground and saw how Azula was collecting energy. Knowing on what happened to the Joker, Batman threw a batarang that hit the hand that stored the electrical energy and threw Azula off balance. Using the little time he had, Batman took his metal staff and came to attack Azula.
The staf flew in the air but before it could strike target, Azula ducked away and unleashed a whip of fire to keep her opponent on a distance.
As Azula moved her whip backwards to give a powerfull attack, Batman stepped in and slammed the hands of Azula with his staff. He then thrusted the metal weapon forwards and almost hit the face of Azula who managed to move her head just in time.
The firebender then grabbed the staff of Batman and when both opponents held the same weapon, Azula kicked out to the Bat and blue flames erupted from her foot. The flames had no effect on Batman's fire resistant Batsuit but it did knock him off balance and Azula then jurked the weapon towards her. She was now the only one holding the metal staff and she threw the weapon far away.
Batman had raised himself up from a fallen position and saw how his staff got thrown away. The then took a smoke grenade and threw it at Azula. Smoke quickly surrounded the princess and Batman stepped behind her. He pulled her arms backwards and held them tight. 'Surrender.' He spoke. As a result, Azula laughed and waited untill the smoke was completely gone. After that, she twisted herself around and used her agility to kick out at Batman. She  forced her arms out of the tight hold and pulled the legs of the superhero, who fell on the ground. Azula kicked the opponent in the chest and the face but when she tried to hit the face of Batman again, the dark knight grabbed her foot and delivered a kick in the chest and a kick in the face himself. Azula stepped backwards while Batman rolled away and raised himself up quickly.

Neither combatant had noticed that someone was watching the battle from a distance. This man, who was only known by his title of Hero, had rested after the hard fight against the very small yet very strong warrior. During the time of resting, he thought about Storm. This beatiful woman had become fast friends with the Hero and he had even felt love for her. But during the battle against the green warrior, she had been killed and the Hero was all alone again. After he had been fully recovered, the Oakvale Hero had known what to do. He would seek out and destroy this master of the tournament and avenge the fallen mutant.
Hoping that the master was hiding in the large tower, the Hero had traveled to the building when he had heard the sounds of battle and moments later, saw these two fighters duel. Curious on how the battle would unfold, the Hero would wait and see what happened and who would win before he would act.

Batman and Azula were still fighting each other and each tried to land a succesfull blow but failed to do so. Batman stepped backwards and threw his batarang filled with knock out gas. Azula dodged the attack and came running at the bat. Batman jumped away and used his cape to desoriëntate his female opponent.
When he saw how Azula took a shuriken knife from a hidden pouch, Batman took a batarang in his hand. The two were too close to each other to throw the projectiles and used the weapons in melee combat.
After only a minute of fighting, Azula knew that it was very hard to get through the armour of the opponent and land a killing attack. Instead, she pushed the man in the cowl away. She then dropped the shuriken knife and created a fiery sword. The burning sword slashed at Batman but the cunning Bruce avoided the slash and threw his batarang at the knee of Azula.
The batarang hit and as the flaming sword dissapeared, Azula knelt in pain. Batman moved swiftly and kicked his opponent on the ground, to stand over her with a batarang in his hand.
'Kill me.' Azula suddenly spoke. She showed no fear and smiled as she stared into eyes of her opponent.
Batman had been taunted before and was not impressed. He would break his vow. He had not done this for the Joker and he would not do it for this girl or the master of the tournament.
Even though Batman was shure that he would not kill, he stood suprised by the fact that this girl, who could not be more then 17 years of age stood defiant and ready to accept death.
As Batman stood there suprised, Azula made her move. She first kicked the man in his crotch and then kicked out to his ancles. Batman fell down while Azula raised herself up. She put her left foot on the chest of Bruce Wayne and smiled. 'I am not weak and willl kill you.' She said just before she prepared for a lightning attack.
Just as she was generating lightning, Azula turned around and saw an arrow heading towards her face. She aborted the attack and was just in time to burn the arrow before it could hit target.. She then saw a warrior in full armour heading towards her. Before Azula could do anything else, she fell. Batman had used his hands to trip the woman and now stood up. Azula stood up herself also, using fire to protect herself while doing so. She turned to face the warrior that attacked her and what she saw was a big man who gave off a red glow. The man swung a sword at her and before Azula could dodge, she got struck in the chest and stumach with a powerfull blow. Azula toppled over and the Hero followed up with a stab in her chest. He followed up with more  thrusting attacks, letting all of his rage out on the princess of the firenation. He did not even notice that he changed back into his normall self and only stopped when a hand grabbed his shoulder. 'Ease up big guy.' Batman spoke.
After the Hero had sheated his sword and taken off his helmet, Batman asked a question. 'Tell me. Why did you help me. You could have waited untill the girl killed me and then attack her and you could have even attacked me when you had killed her, but you didn't.'
The Hero took a moment to think before he answered. 'I saw how you spared the woman when you had a chance to kill. I met a woman on this island who did not kill either. She was very nice and you reminded me off her. She died while fighting at my side. It was because of her, that I chose to help you.' Both warriors remained silent for some time after this and in the end, the Hero talked. 'I am sorry but I need to go now. I am going to kill the man who put us on the island.' 'So we have a commen goal it seems. Altough I will not kill him, I am traveling to the tower also. I know that the master is hiding there and he has the only means of getting us out of here. On this island, I have found that nothing makes sense. I believed that we have been lured here with empty promises, only to his amusement and I doubt  that the survivor will make it out alive.' After this, the Hero thought about the different reasons that both he and Storm had come here. He knew that this man in the cowl was right. Batman then continued. 'Alone, each of us would stand a decent chance of getting in the tower and taking this master out but the man has soldiers and if we work together, we can take them all on.' Batman worked alone most of the time but he co-operated with others on rare occasions.
After a second of thinking, the Hero accepted. The two men shook hands and a alliance was born.

I.O.F Chapter 6: A ninja showdown with a smiley face

Sub-Zero walked with a steady pace. It was raining and it did not seem that the rain would not soon but the warrior did not mind. He had fought many battles in the rain and actually liked the cool water after these hot days on this strange island. After the battle against the gunwielder where he finished his opponent off with a fatality, Sub-Zero had met a strange clown who used cards, a really odd gun and even gas to fight the mortal kombat warrior and as a resul  Sub-Zero had frozen him. When the clown had thawn out during the battle, the clown had escaped and Sub-Zero put up a full persuit but in the end, Sub-Zero had lost track of the clown.

The icy warrior was now walking around, trying to figure out where he was but without much succes. He was completely lost. The warrior kept walking when he suddenly saw someone sitting on a large rock. The person was fully dressed in black and was clearly a ninja from his looks. Sub-Zero had dealt with ninja's before as he fought them a lot and even he himself was a ninja. Therefore, he was pretty shure he knew that he could handle this one. He stepped towards the ninja and started speaking: 'I challenge you to mortal kombat' His voice was loud and clear. He may have lost track of the clown, but he now had a new opponent he could kill to have one less person stand in his way to win this tournament and confront Scorpion. The opponent looked up just as Sub-Zero started with his freeze attack.

Ryu was meditating. He had found a large rock today and spent his time wondering what to do with his inner conflict. He had been lured on this strange island with the promise of a artifact that would keep his village save forever. The man who had spoken these words and accompagnied the words with images of the village burning, the men killed and the woman raped and enslaved. Knowing that the village had been attacked several times in the past, Ryu had little choise but to accept the offer of the stranger.
Now he was sitting here, he regretted it. The stranger had played him and had struck Ryu on his weak point, his village.
It was clear that the man had been lying and that there were no artefacts. After he had seen the first fight in the arena, Ryu was shure that that the pictures he had seen were mere illusions of his own fear.
The few days he had been avoiding opponents and trying to find a way out but it was indeed impossible to escape. The inner conflict that now played was that of taking out his opponents and hoping that the stranger would indeed keep his word or keep avoiding the other warriors and try to find the man who lied to him.
Suddenly someone spoke behind him and Ryu turned around. He had not heard the words but he knew the man meant trouble.
As he was turned, Ryu saw a man standing a couple feet away. The man was wearing blue and white armour, completed with a blue helmet. The man also had lightblue arms that looked like they were made from ice.
As he was watching, a blue ball was searing towards Ryu and the ninja jumped over it. The choise had been made for him and Ryu would act it out ruthless. Before he landed, the ninja drew the dragon sword and landed with weapon in hand on the ground.

The two ninja's stood ready to fight. Sub-Zero also had his frozen koriblade in his hand and was ready to duel this opponent. Seconds later, the swords collided and a vicious duel ensued. Both men slashed and blocked the attacks of the opponent. Sub-Zero moved with a thrust at Ryu but the ninja dodgded the attack and slashed the icy warrior across the chest. As Ryu was stepping backwards, Sub-Zero slashed him in the leg and and followed up with a kick aimed at the chest of Hayabusa.
The warriors crossed their blades again and after a lot of dodging and blocking, managed to deliver miner scratches each.
Ryu rolled backwards to avoid impalement and as he stood up, he threw two shurken at his opponent. the shuriken hit the suprised Sub-Zero and before the mortal kombat figher could focus on his opponent again, Ryu came with a powerfull attack. Sub-Zero was just in time to raise his sword and block the attack but he saw how chips of ice flew off his sword. As Ryu recovered from his failed attack, Sub-Zero glided towards him and hit the ninja with a cold shoulder attack. Ryu dropped his sword and fell on the ground. As he stood up, Sub-Zero froze Hayabusa and walked to the man who was dressed in ice. Sub-Zero dropped his koriblade and came with a punch that broke Ryu free out of the ice, after which he delivered some clawed punches the the face, neck and temple areas.
After getting hit three or four times, Ryu managed to counter a punch and struck Sub-Zero in the side with his own attack. He then threw Sub-Zero to the ground and kicked the Lin Kuei in the chest.
Sub-Zero started to breath heavily as Ryu found and grabbed his sword. The hawk warrior stabbed his dragon sword at the ice warrior but Sub-Zero stepped backwards and left a icy clone. Instead of being frozen himself, only his sword got stuck in the ice version of Sub-Zero.
The two warriors walked towards each other and started figthing using their martial arts. Both used hands and feet to try to take down the opponent but each attack got blocked very well. As Sub-Zero moved to put his fist into the face of his opponent, Ryu ducked low and avoided the attack. The then slammed his own fist into the stumach of Sub-Zero. As a response, Sub-Zero pushed his knee in the face of Ryu and as the ninja stood up, Ryu got a crushing headbutt that send him backwards.
Sub-Zero prepared a ice beam but before he could launch the attack, Ryu suddenly dissapeared and left only a few leaves on the spot.
Ryu appeared behind Sub-Zero and gave a flying kick that hit the back of the icy warrior. Sub-Zero managed to transform his fall into a roll and grabbed his sword.
He walked back towards his opponent, holding his frozen koriblade at the level of his waist while Ryu was moving his hands in a pattern. When Sub-Zero was almost upon his opponent, he noticed that the enemy would unleash a attack and quickly slided aside while he kept his sword up for defence.
Ryu had used his energy to create a razorsharp wind and send it off, just as his opponent was moving aside. The attack missed its target but Sub-Zero was unable to pull his sword into safety in time and saw how the ice got cut in half.
The angry mortal kombat fighter threw the lower half of the sword on the ground and readied himself to glide towards the black ninja.
Ryu threw his incendiary shuriken and as the small projectiles hit, they caused fire and that gave Ryu enough time to manipulate the ki energy.
Sub-Zero was finally recovered from this sudden fire attack but Ryu was ready also and used his ninpo to send a fireball towards Sub-Zero. Before the ball hit its target,  Ryu send his second and last ball towards the Sub-Zero made of ice that still held his sword.
The first ball of fire hit Sub-Zero square in the chest while the second one destroyed the ice statue and releashed the dragonsword. Ryu retrieved his sword while Sub-Zero stood up. The ice warrior was weakened and knew he could not fight much longer. There were three things he could do. He could either fight, flee or commit hara kiri. As he was a Lin Kuei, the running was no option and that left only fighting or taking his own life by hara kiri. In Seconds, he made his choise.

Sub-Zero quickly created two small daggers of ice. He would not give up and would fight untill death. He ran towards his opponent, wanting to get the initiative. Ryu attacked with his sword but Sub-Zero used one of his daggers to block the attack and used the other to attack Hayabusa. The small hit the shoulder of Ryu and he as Ryu tried to ignore the pain, he was fighting off the second dagger. Ryu kicked out and struck Sub-Zero in the side but one of the daggers struck him in the leg. Ryu tried another tactic and stepped inside the reach of his opponent. He then threw Sub-Zero to the ground and came with a sword attack. Before the mortal kombat warrior could defend himself, Ryu slashed the wrist of his opponent. He followed up with a kick in the face and stabbed the dragonsword in the chest of Sub-Zero.
Sub-Zero gave one more try to raise himself up but Ryu Hayabusa was using his ninpo and seconds later, a sharp wind cut the head of Sub-Zero off.

Ryu was breathing heavily and after he had pulled the sword out of the body of his opponent, he took a few moments to rest. The fight had taken more energy then he had thought and Ryu should have had started using ninpo earlier in the battle. Damn hindsight. The only good thing in this was that his body was healing itself while he was resting up but he woud not be able to put another hard fight up for a while.
Suddenly, Ryu head the sounds of clapping behind him and he spun around, with his sword ready. There he saw a stranger walking out of some bushes. The man had a white face, green hair and a purple suit. 'Very well done. What a wonderfull show.' The man spoke with a big grin on his face. 'Who are you?' Ryu asked. He was not shure if this man would be a opponent, he did not look dangerous but the ninja kept his sword ready. 'I am the Joker!' The clown almost the last word. He kept on smiling and walked unafraid towards the ninja and past the point of the sword. 'I am no fighter. I just saw the fight and found it great entertainment. I will reward you for such a spectaculair fight.'
It was a strange combination, the ninja and the clown. Altough he was still not convinced that the clown was as innocent as the said himself, Ryu lowered his sword.
'Let me give you a present.' The Joker spoke and making true to his word, he took a flower that was attached to his suit. Before Ryu could do anything, a gass erupted from the flower and hit the ninja straight in the face.
At first, nothing seemed to happen but the effect became clear seconds later when Ryu started to laugh. He did not know why he was laughing and found out he somehow could not stop. Normally Ryu would focus his energy but he somehow was unable to do so because of the laughing.
The was laughing with him and took his hand. Electricity suddenly struck Ryu and seared through his body. While the Joker was holding the hand of Ryu, both men were laughing and one of them was dying.
A full five minutes after the Joker had taken the hand of Ryu, he releashed it and Ryu dropped on the ground, dead. The Joker was still laughing and took a small knife out of his pocket. He then started to carve up the ninja who had fallen for his tricks rather easily and after cutting the face and throat of the ninja, The clown prince of crime stopped with mulitating the body.
The Joker then walked up to the head of Sub-Zero while still having a smile on his face. He tucked the small knife away and spoke to the severed head. 'Look who is out cold now.' He then burst out laughing.

Shang Tsung was walking towards his master. That damn Angst had said that he wanted to absorb two souls now to make him even more powerfull. The sorcerer was not shure why he wanted it now since he would absorb the souls later on anyhow. It really messed up the plans of Tsung. The soulstealer had planned to wait untill the last warriors had died and then absorb all the souls himself. He would then have the oppertunity to slay Angst and take his place as a god. Shang Tsung was not ready yet to absorb the souls now because he feared that he would just absorb the memories and knowlegde of the dead warriors since he had so many souls in him already. For someone else, it would work but the sorcerer was not shure how it would work on himself. If Angst knew that Shang Tsung was planning to betray him, Tsung had a problem and when the souls made Angst stronger, it would be harder to betray the would be god. Angst also had full controll of the clone army and Shang Tsung had not found a way to counter it yet. Things were turning to the worse now, as Shang Tsung was walking towards his master.

'Shang Tsung.' Angst spoke as he turned off the tv. He had just seen how Genghis kahn had killed a warrior named Hannibal Barca. The fight had not impressed him and Angst had wondered if he would let the two real warriors fight to the death once. He could do that, why should he not then.
'My lord.' Shang Tsung nodded. 'I was under the impression that you wanted to have all the souls at once.'  The magician fished for anwers. 'My dear Shang. I want to see how well this works. I never planned to get all the souls in me. I will rather use the winner. He will get all the souls and do my bidding as a unbeatable servant. These two souls are ones I want myself because i like the powers they come with.'
'Very well my lord.' Shang Tsung said.
The first soul was that of Zuko. Shang Tsung manipulated the soul in the orb and transferred the green energy into Angst. When the master of the tournament had taken the whole soul, his face slightly changed. Instead of a clear face, Angst got a burnscar around his left eye. For the second soul, Mewtwo was the victim and after his soul been transferred, the skincolour of Angst changed from white to grey.
'All done.' Shang Tsung spoke. 'Thank you.' Angst answered with a smile. As Shang Tsung was turning to walk away, two armed guards stopped him.
'I need to test the powers first ofcourse.' Angst answered before a question could be asked. He then moved a glass using his mind. As the glass was flying in the air, Angst moved his hand and fire erupted from it. The fire hit the glass and shattered it on impact. Angst knew for shure that he now controlled the powers of Zuko and Mewtwo.
Before Shang Tsung turned to walk away, Angst spoke. 'I want you to use your magic so I can bind the victorious warrior to my will.' 'Very well sir.' came the answer as Shang Tsung walked past the clone guards. He had been expecting this after the would be god had told about his plans. Shang Tsung had a new plan now. He would put the souls into the winner of the tournament but instead of binding the warrior to the will of Angst, he would bind the man to his own will. Shnag Tsung walked away with a smile.

I.O.F Chapter 5: Deception

The staff flew at his head but the hero was just able to avoid getting hit. His opponent recovered quickly and jumped forwards as she tried to land another hit at him. The hero of Oakvale blocked the attack with his sword and stepped into range to deliver a cut of his own.
Storm saw the attack coming and moved away to avoid getting hit. As the hero followed, she thrusted her staff forwards and rammed her male opponent in the helmet. Wanting to finish the battle, Storm swung her staff and aimed the final attack at the spot where the temple of the hero was. The hero of Oakvale knew he had to react now or lose the battle. He charged at his opponent as the staff was turning around and managed to push Storm to the ground. He then held his sword at her throat.
'You lost.' He said. 'Indeed. Now get off me.' Came the answer and the hero quickly stepped away to allow Storm to stand up.
The two warriors had met each other in the arena, where they sat next to each other. They first started talking about the strange island and the two found out that they got along nicely. When it was announced that the warriors had to battle each other to the death, Storm and the hero quickly came to the agreement to work together and find a way off. Storm had not come here to kill others, in fact she hated killing. She had come here because other mutants were in danger. Ofcourse, she now understood that it was a lie and that there were no mutants in danger here and now her focus was on escaping.
The hero of Oakvale had a less moral code and his reason for coming here was because of a powerfull legendary weapon that was supposed to be hidden on the island. It was now obvlious that it was a lie and that there were no legendary weapons hidden. He stayed with Storm because he liked her very much. She reminded him about another girl called Whisper. As Whisper, Storm had a black skin and used a staff in combat and the Hero had started developping feelings for Storm as he had for Whisper before she had left.

After the hero had taken his helmet off, the two new friends sat down, relaxing in the sun. They had been here for three or four days and had met no other people after leaving the arena. The two had been able to chat and train a lot with each other. The training kept both warriors in good shape and helped the warriors understand the power of the other while the talking with each other about this strange place brought more suspicions about this strange place. Both understood that they have been lured here because of some strange scheme but neither could think of a reason why.
'I am going to find something to eat.' the hero spoke. 'Very well, I will stay here.' Came the answer of Storm, who was relaxing in the sun.
Leaving his helmet with his friend, the Hero started walking. The two have been able to feed themselfs by fruits they found on trees and the Oakvale born warrior thought he had seen a apple tree nearby.
As the Hero was walking towards the tree, a sound was heard and he got hit in his back. He dropped himself down and drew Avo's Tear, his sword.
Storm raised herself up, her tiredness away within the instant she heard the gun go off. After looking around, the mutant knew that the opponent was not near her and realised that her friend might be in danger. She picked up her staff and the helmet and set off to find him.
Storm soon found a strange warrior, who was holding a gun and firing it at a tree and she spotted the hero behind the tree.
Storm sneaked up to behind the gunwielder and while he was busy firing rounds, she used the wind to push him into the field.
Reaver got pushed forward far and landed on the gras. He tried to stand up but the ancient hero was with him in seconds and delivered some powerfull punches that pushed Reaver back down again.
He had seen the ancient hero from Oakvale and had decided to take him down by shooting the warrior in the back. It seems this plan had failed. Reaver grabbed his weapon and rolled away from this dangerous opponent, only to see that a black woman in white stood behind him. Knowing he was surrounded, Reaver could do only one thing.
Storm watched as the assailent dropped to his knees. She was happy he gave up rather quickly and thought that the Hero would take care of the man.
'Please...' The man muttered. '' Spare my life. I was forced to fight you' He yelled out as the hero walked towards him with Avo's tear. The hero did not pay any attention to the begging and it was only when the man spoke four words that Storm stopped the Hero of Oakvale.
'Explane yourself.' Storm demanded. Reaver put himself down as humble as possible before he started with talking. 'A green demon. He is small but very powerfull. He killed a child before my eyes and then forced me to fight for him. I had to kill you and bring your heads to him or he would destroy me.' Reaver spoke with his most convincing tone. 'O my god.' was all Storm could say. 'Bring us to him.' the woman suddenly said. She had a determination in her eyes that spoke without words. She was going to teach this demon a lesson. 'As you will.' Was all Reaver said. He took his dragonstomper from the ground and walked with them while being watched by the hero.

After almost a full day of walking, the three arrived at a patch of grass where the body of a young boy lay. 'O my..' Was all Storm could say as she kneeled down by the body. the young was clearly dead and only a monster could have done such a thing. The hero of Oakvale was staring with digust to the body. He himself was not afraid of killing and had killed a few civilians themselfs but he had never killed a child.
While the two warriors were watching the body and getting mad, Reaver took the uppertunity and walked backwards. When the hero found out that Reaver was escaping, the pirate was too far away to catch up to.
After a moment of discussing, the two decided to go after the green demon instead of the gunwielder and they walked in the way they were already heading.
After some time of walking, the two arrived in a forest and when  it was almost night, they finally encountered someone who suited the description.
The hero grabbed his bow, which according to legend came from the god Skorm and he aimed it at the small green creature. He shot the arrow but to his suprise, the Hero saw how the opponent avoided it. The arrow disappeared in the forest while the warrior suddenly moved towards the two fighters.

Storm and the Hero split up,  both going into another direction to avoid the attack. Yoda was not happy that he was being attacked by two people at the same time but he would defend himself untill the end.
Storm used a gust of wind to push Yoda away  but the small jedi used the force to land safely and avoided a   ball of fire send by the Hero.
Storm flew towards the jedi with her staff to attack in close range but the small warrior activated his lightsaber and cut through the staff with a single attack. Storm dropped the rest of the staff and flew backwards to avoid the weapon when she saw how the Hero was charging at Yoda. Using a wind with the power of a hurricane, she blew both of the men away and flew towards her friend. 'He has a lasersword that can cut through weapons, we need to stay in long range during this battle.' She said and she flew away again to confront the masterjedi from the other side.
The hero moved his hand and in a instant, four sword appeared that attacked Yoda. These swords were no match for a lightsaber and got quickly dealt with but it gave Storm a chance to send a ice storm towards Yoda and freeze the little man. Using forcpush, Yoda managed to escape the ice but could not avoid a fireball send by the Hero and got hit with it. Storm then send a blast of air that took Yoda and blew him away. As Yoda stood up, both opponents followed to where he was. The jedi lifted up a large tree and threw it at Storm, who could only avoid it by blasting it with lightning. The Hero of Oakvale was now using his willpower of speed and was heading towards Yoda but got pushed backwards by the force rather easily.
Even though Yoda was the strongest warrior, he had kept himself healty using the force and knew that he was tiring. Each of these alone, Yoda would be able to handle but the combined power of these warriors was hard to counter. Storm called upon lightning from the air and planned to cast it down next to the opponent to confuse him but Yoda created a large shield that surrounded him and stopped the lighting. A fireball proved ineffective also and it was only when Storm created a snowstorm in this protective barriere, that Yoda stopped it.
Yoda knew he had to take one of them out now before he lost the fight. The question was who. Seconds later, a fireball flew towards Yoda and instead of avoiding, he catched it. He then returned the ball of fire energy to the Hero of Oakvale who got hit square in the chest. Yoda then turned to Storm and stunned her with the force. He then threw his lightsaber to take the most dangerous of the two out.
The Hero raised himself up and saw the lightsaber heading toward Storm. Angry that she would be killed, he used his will to race to Yoda and slashed the jedi across the stumach. Yoda managed to avoid another slash but the Hero smashed his fist into the ground and fire erupted from it. Yoda felt the heat hit him and got knocked to the ground. The Hero then suddenly became longer and broader, using the only dark willpower in his arsenal. He became a small hulk, surrounded by red energy and swung his sword with one hand but a lot of power. Yoda avoided one swing but the second attack took his left arm and he cried in pain. He used the force to blind his opponent for a few seconds and moved to his lightsaber that lay near the still body of the black woman and to his sadness, he found out that the woman was dead.
The Hero of Oakvale had seen this also and screamed in anger. He fired another fireball that missed its target even without Yoda having to dodge it. The Hero then summoned four swords again and as they moved to Yoda, the small Jedi prepared to take care of them. Yoda jumped up in the air and destroyed all the swords in two strokes. He then flew towards the Hero but the armoured warrior used his own version of the forcepush and knocked Yoda away.
Holding his sword in his hand, the Hero wanted to run at Yoda but the small Jedi dropped his lightsaber and used both hands to lift him up in the air and smashed him against a tree. The Hero of Oakvale cried in pain and he knew he was beaten. In one last burst of energy, he grabbed Avo's tear. Yoda was tired and unfocused. The fight had taken more energy then he had wanted but both opponents lay beaten. As Yoda was using the force to call his lightsaber from the ground, Reaver appeared from behind a tree and fired two shots. The first one send the lightsaber away from Yoda and the second one took the small jedi master in the back of his head.
Yoda fell on the ground, his face into the grass. Reaver then emptied the gun in the head of the jedi to make shure he was dead. 'Splendid. I knew I would get you, you ugly green thing.' Reaver spoke with pride. He then walked towards the Hero of Oakvale. 'What wonderfull fight my boy. It was really entertaining to see. Too bad for your lady friend. To your information, it was me who killed the boy and I should kill you but it seems you are beaten already and I will spare you only because you come from Oakvale as i did.' Reaver said with a smile. 'Before I destroyed it, that was.' He added. Reaver then walked away from the Hero of Oakvale, laughing.
Reaver had not noticed that the Hero was still holding his sword that that gave him energy and he had gotten enough energy back to fight. He moved quickly and drew his bow. 'He held it for a few seconds and releashed the arrow. The arrow flew through the air and hit Reaver in the back, just below his neck. He went down with a suprised cry and the Hero moved towards him. Reaver wanted to draw his sword but reminded himself that it was broken and then he realised that he had not reloaded his dragonstomper yet.
Before he could start talking his way out, The Hero of Oakvale slashed Reaver across the chest two times. Reaver went down and the Hero finished the fight with stabbing Reaver in the chest. After that, the Hero collapsed from fatigue.

I.O.F Chapter 4: A hot battle

Zuko felt stupid. That fight in the arena kept going through his head and the young warrior still felt like an idiot for what he had done. He had been guided by anger and it almost cost him his life. Fighting the strange man who had forced him to duel was no option but he could have helped defend the grey warrior who had spared his life.

He wished Aang was here. Aang would have controlled his anger and found a way to solve things. To help the grey stranger. But the Avatar was not here and Zuko had to rely on his own judgement and his own inner power. 

It was only a few days ago that Zuko was still a fire lord, who tried to repair the damage done by his father and grandfather. Then, a strange cloaked man came who told Zuko that he knew where his mother was. The heart of the young fire lord jumped up because the one thing that he had given up about, was finding his mother. The stranger had told Zuko that his mother was being held on a island and that he could save her but he had to act quickly and come with the stranger within the hour. After that, the stranger had dissapeared into a portal and left the firebender with a tiny ball of hope. If he had the chance, he would have had asked for Aang and the rest of the gang to come with him and free his mother but there was not enough time. Instead, he wrote a small note to Mai in which he asked her to act as fire lord in his stead because he had to leave for urgent reasons. He then put on traveling cloths, grabbed his swords and went into the portal that the stranger had used earlier. 

The portal was nothing like he ever imagined and when he entered the island, men in white told Zuko that he needed to walk towards a strange arena. It was there that he met his sister again and was clearly suprised. Not only was she supposed to be insane, Zuko had never guessed that Azula cared about their mother. When he tried to talk to her, he found that she was cunning as usual and did not really about their mother. She did not even know that she was imprisoned here. She talked about what a pathetic loser Zuko was and that their father was happy he had a better child. She then talked about how incometent Zuko was and that he would never be able to find their mother. Azula only stopped talking when the stranger started talking but did not stop her from hissing insults at him. It was because of the influence of his sister and the will to survive and find his mother that he had acted hot tempered and angry during the fight. Well, at least he was still alive and able to find his mother. After he had found her, he would destroy the stranger. 

First off all, Zuko needed to survive in this tournament and that meant beating the others. having learned from his mistake, Zuko tried to avoid detection by other people. He did not want to kill them, neither would he like to lose a battle and thereby his life. 

As the firebender was walking around silently, he suddenly saw one of the strange men in white. Hoping that this man could answer some questions, Zuko climbed up a tree and waited for his victim to walk by.

As soon as the man stepped near the tree, Zuko jumped out and delivered a painfull kick to the chest of his opponent. The guard fell down and tried to stand up but Zuko kicked him down again and flung the weapon of the guard away. Zuko then took his dao swords from his backscabberd and held the blades near the head of the downed guard. 'You will answer some questions.' Zuko spoke in a low voice. 

If the man was afraid, he did a good job hiding it while he answered. 'I know about nothing. I am not to be touched and only by threatening me, you will be killed.' Zuko was not happy with the answer he got and asked again, this time less nice. 'You are going to tell me where my mother is or I will kill you.' This time, the guard answered only with a stare.

Zuko was really mad now and lifted one of the dao's in the air to strike when a object hit his hand. Zuko dropped the sword in pain and after checking the surroundings, he saw the object that had hit him. It was a small black metal object in a very strange form that he had never seen before.

Batman watched how the young man was looking at the batarang. The dark knight had another batarang at ready in case this boy was going to try and kill the guard again. It was not that Batman liked the guards or the tournament but he knew that killing was not a option and especially not if that meant that the security would get tighter.
The young boy had fought rash and uncontrolled during the first fight and Batman had not paid too much attention to him. The host was a strange man who had some powers that Batman still was not shure off. He now knew that the host was the person who seduced the Bat to leave Gotham city and kept him on the island. After that first fight when everyone was allowed off, Batman stayed behind and took a good look at the rest of the warriors invited. None but one was known to Batman and the one he knew was his arch enemy, the joker. Altough he was happy that this criminal was out of Gotham for the time being, Batman was not shure why the clown prince of crime was invited here at all.
After everybody else had left and the host had dissapeared together with his wizard, Batman himself made it out of the arena. It did not take long for him to spot the large tower further away on the island and decided to investigate that.
It was on his travel towards the tower that Batman came across the young man from earlier and he saw how the fireuser hid in a tree, only to attack one of the guards.

Bruce now had a choise to make. Either let the boy just kill the guard or fight him. The hint with the batarang had not worked and the superhero had to do something quick. Deciding that taking out this Zuko was the best option, Batman took some quick mental notes. The most dangerous assets of this guy were his fireusing powers and this Zuko's other skils were swordfighting and martial arts. Believing he could take this person out, Batman threw the second batarang to make shure this guy was not hitting the guard with the other sword. Before the young man could do anything else, Batman threw a third Batarang. This one had a rope to the end of it and he managed to tie the arms to the body of this Zuko.

Batman walked out of the shadow of the tree and stepped towards the now fallen Zuko. Using his firepower, he quickly broke free of his bonds and fired a fireball at the man who had attacked him.
As the ball was searing towards him, Batman trusted his fireproof outfit and held his cape for his body. The fire dissolved on the cape without doing any damage but Zuko launched two other fireattacks. None of the attacks did the damage but it gave Zuko enough time to launch a kick at his opponent. Nobody would stop him from finding his mother. 

Batman got knocked away by the kick but he managed to recover. He blocked another punch and delivered a powerfull punch to the face of his opponent himself. Zuko got angry and tried another punch but the Bat managed to get his opponent in a armlock. Batman followed up with a throw that send Zuko on the ground.
Zuko stood up as quickly as possible and saw that the guard was gone. The man must have sneaked away when Zuko was assaulted. Zuko looked at his opponent again to see that he had dissapeared also.
Knowing that the man in the costume could not have gone far, Zuko grabbed his swords and stayed silently to listen to unusual sounds.
He suddenly heard the crack of a twig and sended a stream of fire towards the spot where he heard it. Batman Jumped away from the fire and used his cape to glide towards his opponent. Before his foot could make contact with the head of the young warrior, Zuko moved aside and avoided collision.
He then moved himself and used his dao's to attack Batman.
Using the metallic blades on his gloves, Batman managed to block the attacks and kicked Zuko in the stumach to create distance. He then reached into his boot to grab a small metal stick that he transformed into a full staff within the second.

Zuko walked over to his opponent again and attacked Batman with his swords. The Manbat blocked the attacks using his staff and tried to hit to attack himself. Zuko managed to block the attack and now pushed himself.
Zuko jumped up and moved both swords as scissors to decapitate his opponent but Batman ducked low to avoid the attack and as soon as Zuko landed on the ground again, Batman used his staff to sweep the feet of his opponent. Zuko fell on the ground and before Batman could deliver a blow to the chest, Zuko managed to roll away and attacked with fire. Batman felt the heat go past his face as he dodged the attack and when h could focus on his opponent again, Zuko attacked with his swords held high.
The staff shot forwards horizontally and blocked the attack, after which both warriors tried to use pure strenght to overpower the opponent.
One moment, Batman was still pushed his staff and the other moment, he saw how a fist with a dagger made of fire headed towards him. Batman dropped the staff and blocked the wrist of his opponent to avoid being hit by the dagger. He then slammed his fist in the fist of his opponent. He had blocked the attack and dissolved the burning dagger in one move but he opened himself up. Zuko saw this opening and moved his last dao to hit Batman. Bruce was just able to block the attack with the metal blades on his glove and opened the pouch on his belt. Zuko came with another firedagger and Batman used his wrist to block the attack. Before Zuko could try and attack again, batman reached into the opened pouch and hit Zuko with his stungun while Zuko was calling up a fireshield. Electricity hit Zuko and he stepped backward in pain while Batman was pushed back by the burning shield.

Zuko was hurt by the electricity and Batman was tired. 'I am getting to old for this.' Bruce muttered to himself. Zuko threw another ball of fire and Batman dodged the ball. He then grabbed a batarang and threw it at his opponent, only to see it burned by the firebending of the young fire lord. 'Stop fighting.' Bruce spoke.   But Zuko never heard the words and only saw his mother in his mind. In one last attack, Zuko created fire to distract his opponent and then came in with a powerfull kick at the leg of Batman.
Batman did not see the attack coming and fell down, to be kicked in the chest seconds later. Zuko stood over Batman and created another dagger of fire to hit the Bat straight in the face. As Zuko moved to finish Batman off, he hesitated. he suddenly saw Aang and his big blue eyes staring at him. Aang would never forgive Zuko if he killed his opponent now but he needed to kill the man to save his mother.
In this time of hesistation, Batman kicked out and pushed his opponent away with his feet. He then rolled backwards and as Zuko was recovering Batman threw a batarang with knockout gas at his opponent. Zuko blocked the batarang with a wall of fire and stepped over the weapon. At that moment, the knockout gas escaped and reached Zuko. He took two more steps, before he collapsed.
Batman smiled even though he was very tired. He then proceeded to tie Zuko up and put the warrior under a tree.

Shang Tsung was walking over the island. He usually liked to be at the tower during the night but Angst wanted to have the souls as soon as possible and that meant a trip around the island every night.
Ahh well, it was a hot night and Shang Tsung did not mind the walk this time. He was a powerfull warrior and he had seven clone soldiers to back him up in case Shang Tsung was ambushed.
The idiot, he thought by himself. Angst was a very smart guy to find these warriors and force them to fight on this island. He even liked the idea about collecting the souls of the warriors and using them. There was only one mistake that this would be god has made and that mistake would prove fatal for Angst. The master of this tournament had trusted Shang Tsung and allowed him to collect and hold the souls.
When the sorcerer would catch the last soul, he would ubsurb all the souls and become as powerfull as Angst dreamed of being. Shang Tsung would slay Angst and steal the dagger that created rifts. He would then go and take down the gods and the mastergods. After that, nothing would stand in his way and Shang Tsung would become the master, a position he only recently heard about. Again, thanks to Angst. Shang Tsung would become the most powerfull being ever and he would never again bow down to the likes of Shao Kahn.
But first, he needed to keep the pretense up and act like the loyal servant untill this tournament was over.
Shang Tsung arrived at the last destination of the night and saw the tied up body of Zuko against a tree.
He walked towards the body and took a orb from his robes. He then knelt down to start a incantation. He had only just begun when Zuko suddenly opened his eyes. Shang Tsung was startled and Zuko acted quickly. He first burned the roped that held him and then lashed out with a fire attack that pushed the sorcered backwards. Before Shang Tsung could command his soldiers to fire, Zuko was attacking them.
Shang Tsung quickly transformed himself and when Zuko looked up, he saw a giant beast with four arms. It was almost twice the size of Zuko and was bald apart from the black ponytail. Zuko aimed a punch at the beast but it grabbed both of his hands. While the beast held him, it delivered two powerfull punches. The first one hit Zuko in the stumach and he felt his ribs breaking by the power. The second attack took him in the face and knew that his nose was broken and his jaw was at least dislocated. He then got thrown against the tree by the beast.
Shang Tsung morphed back into himself and drew his longsword. 'If you had played by the rules, I would have let you life but you attacked one of my men and I cannot ignore that.' After that, Shang Tsung thrusted his sword in the throat of Zuko.
Shang Tsung grabbed the orb from the ground and started his incantations again.
A green energy got releashed from the body of Zuko and put into the orb. In a instant, the face of Zuko was shown in the orb but it dissapeared soon again and joined with the others.

I.O.F Chapter 3: Blood and Ice

The day had just began when Sub-Zero woke up. He had learned to sleep on hard ground a long time ago and that had made the night somewhat comfortable. That the flour was made of ice made the sleep all the better.
He stood up and stretched himself. After he was allowed to leave this arena, Sub-zero had walked around the island for a day, untill he found an area completely covered with ice and snow. As a man with controll over ice, Sub Zero had felt at home quickly and decided to create his base here. From here, he would travel around and kill the others. If he needed to come back to rest or heal up, this would be a great defensive position.
Now Sub-Zero was fully awake, his first priority was to get some defenses in this icy patch of land. The mortal kombat warrior started with creating huge pillars of ice all around his little arena and after all pillars were done, he started with large spikes of ice. After he was satisfied with his work, Sub-zero walked to the middle of his safehouse and started with his morning kata.

The kata gave this icy warrior some time to think about what had happened and how he had entered this cursed island.
The Lin Kuei warrior had been fightin his rival Scorpion and after he had beaten the netherrealm demon, he saw how Scorpion escaped through a strange portal. Enraged and not wanting to let his foe go, Sub-Zero had followed blindly. The ice warrior had been unable to find his opponent on the other side of the portal and only encountered armed men in white. Following their advice, he walked up to a arena in the hopes of seeing Scorpion there. After he had arrived there, Sub-Zero had been unable to see Scorpion but he did see someone else he recocgnised. To his great suprise did he see Shang Tsung standing in front of the seats. The shapeshifting sorcerer was looking at all the people collected had walked into a door afterwards. Shang Tsung must have tricked Sub-Zero for a evil scheme. Not shure why this had happened, Sub-Zero knew that he just had to wait and see.

As Sub-Zero was doing his kata, a hard sound erupted out of nothing and one of the ice pillars shattered. Sub-Zero stopped, looked at the direction of where the pillar had been hit and he saw a man standing not far from him. This man had brown hair and was wearing a grey suit. In his hand, he held a dangerous looking gun. Another bullet got fired and Sub-Zero got hit in his shoulder. The icy warrior felt the pain burning in his shoulder and when a third bullet flew towards him, Sub-Zero has called upon a ice clone for defence that took the bullet.
Harry Callahan walked up to the ice. As soon as he had found the trail of one of the criminals, he started following it untill he found a man who used ice. Harry had never seen any of his opponent using supernatural powers and knew that the stranger was right. The stranger who had come to his home one evening had spoken about a group of terrorists who wanted to destroy the united states. Harry knew he had to deal with it and had followed the man into the rift, only to find out that it seems he had to take them out in a tournament. True to his name of dirty Harry, he had started out right away, wanting to wipe all the scumbacks off the face of the earth.
Dirty Harry walked further into the arena, his revolver at ready to fire as soon as he saw his opponent.
Sub-Zero was hiding while Dirty Harry was looking for him, watching out that he did not step on a slippery part, Harry made it to the place where his opponent had stood moments ago and the blood was still on the ground, creating a trail. A blue ball of energy flew towards Harry and froze him on impact. At his, Sub-Zero appeared from behind a tower of ice and glided towards his opponent. He then started with the punching the cop, breaking Harry free from the ice and delivering several other punches to the chest of Dirty Harry. The icy warrior finished off with a strong headbutt that knocked teeth out of the mouth of Harry and send him sprawling over the ice. After he came to a standstill, Harry was glad that he had managed to keep his revolver in his hands and aimed it at his opponent. Before Callahan could use his weapon again, Sub-Zero shot another ice attack and managed to freeze the handgun, disabling it.
Harry was not happy that his favorite weapon was useless now but he had come prepared. This asshole was going to die, he thought as he took his automag out of a hidden holster. Before he could fire the weapon, Sub-Zero glides away to escape the fire and created a wall of ice to keep him covered.

Dirty Harry stood up and walked to the wall of ice. He fired the rest of his bullets at it but did not manage to hit his opponent behind it. As Harry reloaded, the flour suddenly became slippery and he had a hard time trying not to fall. As he was steadily gaining ground, Sub-Zero slammed his shoulder into his foe and send the cop over the ice again. This time Harry did lose his weapon and was forced to return to the fight with his last weapon, the switchblade.
As Harry walked up to his opponent, Sub-Zero used his ice abilities to create the kori-blade and face the knife with his sword. Harry saw this missmatch also and as soon as he came into reach, he tried to flee the long sword of ice again. Before Harry could escape, he got slashed in the chest by the sword and he dropped his little knife. A hack attack from up high broke the collar bone and forced the cop on the ground. Harry tried to raise himself up but as a reward, he got the kori-blade in his stumach.
The mortal kombat warrior watched the now beaten Dirty Harry. His sword was still in the stumach of his opponent as he grabbed the head of the intruder. With a powerfull move, Sub-Zero ripped the head and spine away from the body of his opponent. and held it as a trophy above his head before he dropped it.

Angst watched how the head and spine of Dirty Harry got seperated from his body. It was a decent fight, Angst thought. He would have liked if the battle had taken longer but there was nothing to do about it now. He took another sip from his beer, a nice little brew called heineken, as Shang Tsung came walking in. 'Sorcerer, you have another job to do.' He spoke. 'Very well' Shang Tsung answered. Instead of running off, he came sitting at the table next to Angst. 'My lord. I wanted to ask you. Why do you use me? Why do you want to have the souls?' Angst laughed at this comment. He should punish the sorcerer for asking but he did not care now. Not knowing if it was the beer talking or if he wanted to talk about it with someone but Angst decided to tell his story the way he believed it was true.
'I need a lot power to battle the gods.' He began. 'You want to take out the elder gods?' Shang Tsung asked, clearly amazed. 'No. The ones you know as elder gods are just the gods of one universe. Every universe has their own set of gods who rule there. They do a good job but they are not the greatest beings. The ones who created and controll the gods in the different universes are the mastergods, led by the master. They are the greatest beings and it was one of them that I should be. My father was a mastergod and I would become one before the Master destroyed my father and cast me down in one of the universes as a mere mortal. I managed to keep my powers and stole that nifty dagger from the guardian god. Now I want to claim my rightfull place between the mastergods.'
Interested by this story, Shang Tsung tried to push his luck and asked on. 'Why were you cast down?' He asked with his face showing fake pity. 'Does not matter. Now go and work for me or feel my wrath' was all Angst said before he threw the half empty beer bottle against the wall, making Shang Tsung hurry out of the room. 'As soon as this tournament will be over, I will be the Master.' Angst said to the air.

I.O.F Chapter 2: The first day of figthing

Reaver walked through the grass, watching the island with curiosity and the man was wondering how he could use such an island to the most provitable advantage. He had come here because a strange fellow. The man had showed up in his mansion one night and promised the hero eternal life and a whole island but Reaver was suprised to hear that he first needed to kill all the other people on the island before he would get these prizes. This was no problem for Reaver and the question was not if he would win but rather when he would win.
He had his empire run and if he would stay away too long, those filthy peasants would stop working and the factories of Reaver would lose money. What's more, Reaver needed to be home in time to make another offering to the shadow court. If he failed, all this would be for nothing.
Pushing those thoughts out of his mind, Reaver walked on to make himself ready for his first battle and first kill in this tournament.

Suddenly, Reaver saw a small but fat boy walking past him. The boy was the fattest child Reaver had ever seen, considering that the children in his factory's were very skinny. The boy would be useless to Reaver but it would be a fine first and easy kill in this tournament. 'Hey fatty.'  Reaver spoke with a crual smile. His favorite dragonstomper was still in its holster but the hands of Reaver were close to his gun. The boy turned around and became very angry. "I am not fat. I am bigboned, you balllicker.' After the curseword had been spoken, a electrical power flew towards the hero of skill and hit him in the chest.
Reaver flew backwards, suprised with the power of the boy. 'You are going to die, you piece of shit.' Eric Cartman spoke, his voice full of hatred. With the second curse, another bolt of electricity flew towards Reaver who was just able to dodge the second attack. Not taking any risks, Reaver pulled his dragonstomper and fired four bullets at the boy. Two of the bullets rammed themselfs into the chest of Cartman while the others found themselfs into his head. The boy flew down on the ground but he was dead before he touched the grass.
'You are very fat my good boy' Reaver spoke with a cheery voice before he walked away from Eric Cartman.

The man from Albion walked further through the grass and into a small forest. He was walking for hours now but had not seen anybody since he had killed the boy. This was getting very boring and if Reaver would not see someone soon, he would call it a day and camp out.
Shortly before Reaver wanted to stop wandering, he saw a small light emanating from further in the woods. Hoping that he finally found his opponent, Reaver raced towards the source of the light and when he arrived at a open spot, the light was gone. In its stead, a small green creature stood near a cliff. The creature looked like a hobbe but Reaver had never seen a green one and this one was dressed completely differently. He could see that the creature had its eyes closed and his hands with open palms in the direction of the cliff.
Suddenly, a wall of light appeared on the cliff and the small hobbe kept his eyes closed while he took a object. A blade of light sprung out of the object and the green warrior thrusted his lightsword into the wall.
Reaver was not completely shure on what this small warrior hoped to accomplice but it was certainly not the shock of energy that hit him and stunned the small green warrior for a second.
This tournament was even more easy then Reaver suspected. This warrior would go down with ease also and then two warriors were taken out with only nine to follow. The amazing gunman took his dragonstomper out of the holster and fired a bullet at the head of the green warrior.

After he had been allowed to leave the arena, Yoda had been walking towards a forest. He hoped that he could find a way out of the island before the other warriors would find him. Yoda knew that he was very strong in the force and that he could take out a lot of them but he was sick and tired of the fighting and did not want kill anymore.
He was lured on the island with the promise of a land without war and without the empire. A land where he would find more jedi and could start the order over again. Now he knew that clones were serving this strange man, he knew that the emperor was active here and that meant that the old jedi master was not safe.
After entering the forest, Yoda had come to the cliff and when he tried to dive off, he found himself unable to do so. A invisible barrier was stopping Yoda and when he touched it with the force, it became visible. The barrier was set up around the whole island to prevent anyone from escaping it. Yoda did not know what kind of barrier it was but he was unable to destroy it with the force and and when he used his lightsaber, a shock of energy hit him.
His last try had failed also when Yoda tried to weaken the barrier with the force and attack with a powerfull lightsaber attack. The barrier held and the only result was another shock of energy that hit Yoda.
Before Yoda could try again, the force told him that someone was attacking him. With a speed that suprised anyone, Yoda blocked the bullet, which melted in the heat of the saber. Yoda saw the suprise on the face of his opponent and before the opponent could recover, Yoda pushed him away with the force.

Reaver fell on the ground and he stood up quickly. Neverbefore had he seen that someone was as quick as he was. This opponent was truely dangerous. Reaver fired another few bullets but all of them got blocked by  the lightsaber of Yoda. The small green muppet then used the force to pull the pistol away from Reaver.
Reaver drew his sword and ran towards his opponent, wanting to have a battle of swords. When the two were close enough for a swordfight, Reaver attacked. A first attack of Reaver was high and Yoda ducked under it easily. A second attack was much lower but Yoda jumped over it and the sword missed. As the small jedi came down on the ground again, Reaver tried to stab his opponent. Yoda blocked the attack and as the two swords touched, the inquisitor of Reaver was cleaved in half. Before he could even stand amazed by this turn of events, Yoda pushed Reaver away with the force.
Reaver had never fought such a strange opponent before as he saw how the small green warrior stopped the light emanating from the device. Reaver had one final chance of winning this fight and he drew a second dragonstomper from his boot. He fired the weapon quickly but his opponent had the blade of the light out in a second and the attack got blocked.
Yoda responsed quickly and lifted a rock from the ground. The rock then soared through the air and hit Reaver in the stumach. Reaver collapsed on the ground while he dropped his revolver. The pain was extreme and while he tried to stand up, the former pirate could not help but puke.
Now the green demon was next to him, Reaver knew that there was only one way to save his life.
'Please, have mercy on me.' He spoke. 'I was forced to fight you. They said that I would suffer a horrible fate if I would not...' Reaver added. The Albion warrior spoke some more, all to save his skin.
Yoda watched the begging warrior and altough he should slay this human, he did not want any living creature to suffer anymore. in the end, he spoke the decisive words: 'Very well. Life, you shall but be gone you must.' Reaver picked up his second dragonstomper from the ground quickly and started to run. He left his other gun and broken sword behind, hoping to get away as far as possible.

Somewhere else on the island, a man was watching a screen. Angst had activated all the hidden camera's on the island and when he was browsing them to find the warriors, he came across that strange clown that somehow had found himself on the island.
Angst took his mace out and watched it to see which hopes and dreams appeared on it. To his suprise, none came. Once, a slight image of a bat appeared but it dissolved soon and never returned.
When Angst tried to reach into the fear to see what scared this man, he saw to his great suprise that this innocent looking clown had no fear.
Soon after, a clone captain walked up to behind Angst and started speaking. 'Sir. We found out who this intruder is.' 'Very well, speak on.' Angst answered. After this, the captain continued. 'The name of this man is the Joker and he is the nemisis of Batman. He must have traveled here through the same rift as Batman did. However, it seems that most of the stuff the Joker does makes no sense whatever and one day he can kill a classroom of children and the second day, he is just a innocent clown. He just does not make any sense.'
'Well, that is plausible.' Angst spoke in a soft voice. It made sense with everything Angst had seen so far with this strange clown. 'Very well.' was all Angst said. 'Do you wish us to remove this clown from the tournament?' The clone asked. 'No' Angst said. 'Let us see what this clown can do.'
