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.

  1. Surprisingly good fight, considering that I would have been surprised had the battle ended any other way. The fatality was a great ending to it though, and I could imagine Shao Khan saying "FINISH HIM" in the background.

    Also you seem to be putting a story behind Aangst, which makes the fight all the more interesting.

  2. Oh yes!!!! AHHH!! Good!!!

    Damn man, when Dirty Harry died I was like "No!" but it was such a glorious death :D Harry was so in character, and while his run was short it was glorious. I love his desire to exterminate assholes like this crew :D GREAT!

    And I love aang'st's backstory as well as his beer that he was drinking. This makes him both more funny and more in depth :D

    Great work

  3. Epic fight man! I loved how Harry wouldn't quit, even though he was completely outmatched, and down to his switchblade.

    Some interesting information on Angst too, he's really becoming a great villain for this story.
