DBZ and MK - Rise of the Dragon King - part 2

      Scorpion and Goku continued to fall through the fiery portal until both men hit the cold hard ground in an environment that resembled the innards of a Volcano.

      Scorpion leapt back to his feet and soon saw Goku who was still holding his chest from the giant gash while continuing to groan in pain.

      Scorpion then pulled out the bottle with the blue glowing liquid, looked at the giant gash on Goku chest and mumbled “Deep.” Suddenly, Scorpion kicked Goku to the ground, held his foot at his neck and poured the blue liquid all over the giant gash on Goku’s chest.

      After a while, Goku soon was back on his feet but could still feel a slight burn on his chest from the giant gash. Noticing Scorpion again he then asked “It’s you! Who are you and why‘d you bring me here?”

      “My name is Scorpion and I have come to seek help from you.”

      “Seek help? Whatdya mean?” asked Goku sounding confused.

      “I mean…” Scorpion growled “My home world is in danger and I need you help!”

      “In danger? What’s happening?” Asked Goku sounding shocked and determined.

      Scorpion then tossed a small fireball into the air which then constantly flashed images on what Scorpion would speak about as he spoke “Many months ago, two evil sorcerers known as Shang Tsung and Quan Chi have discovered an army of unstoppable force that belonged to a monster known as Onaga, the Dragon King. Together with the power of the Dragon King’s undefeatable army, a band of their own warriors and an amulet that could controlled the entire army they soon formed a group know as “The Deadly Alliance.” Warriors of each realm have attempted to stop the Deadly Alliance but none of them were successful… as was I. With no one else left stop the Deadly Alliance Raiden, an Elder God had challenged the Deadly Alliance and even he had failed to stop them but in the end it was the sorcerers’ hunger for the possession of the amulet that controlled the army which lead to the destruction of the Deadly Alliance. As I watched on with the Elder Gods, I soon saw Onaga himself charging towards Raiden and the two sorcerers with none of them able to even faze the might of the Dragon King, even the act of sacrifice by Raiden was not even enough to destroy him. Soon the Elder Gods had transformed me into a weapon of their own, enhancing my every ability. Then I realized that it was my duty to stop the Dragon King before he had become all powerful. Now Onaga has control over the six legendary weapons of the Elder Gods known as the Kamidogu, and if he merges them into a single tool of supreme power, he could very well take power over any realm he pleases. That’s why the elder gods had sent me to find you. Only you and I have the ability to stop the Dragon King and save the realms.”

      “So all we have to do is stop this Onaga guy before he merges these six things together so we can save these realms?” asked Goku after the fireball soon disappeared.

      Scorpion then turned to Goku and murmured “Yes.”

      Goku then looked all around himself and asked “How do we get out of here?”

      “Through a portal leading into the Nexus,” said Scorpion “We must hurry, the more time we waste the more powerful Onaga will become.”

      Goku then said confidentially “Well if ya gotta go ya gotta go, and if ya gotta go ya better go it in style! Grab my shoulder.”

      As Scorpion then put his hand on his right shoulder, Goku then put two of his fingers to his forehead to use his instant transmission ability, however Goku soon realized that no matter how hard he tried he could not even find any source of ki energy around him.

      “Well…?” asked Scorpion expecting something to happen.

      “I’m sorry but I can’t find any trace of energy here,” complained Goku “…Come to think of it, I can’t feel any of my own energy as well.”

      Goku, trying to realize what was wrong with him saw a stream of lava and out of complete uselessness of his knowledge jump towards the stream of lava.

      “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!” yelled Scorpion.

      Goku then realized that he had none of his powers with him and that he had probably done the most stupidest thing in his existence because he was in the air right above a river of bubbling, burning magma.

      “Fool!” growled Scorpion as he quickly shot out one of his spears which coiled around Goku and at the right minute and quickly pulled him towards the ground.

      Scorpion then looked at Goku who gave an embarressed chuckle and said “Oops?”

      Scorpion then groaned in an impatient way and explained to Goku “Listen to me, this area is known as the Netherrealm, unless if your soul had been tainted with evil then all of your other ability’s are drained until you leave.”

      “WHAT?!!” gasped Goku in an exaggerated voice.

      “Come on!” groaned Scorpion “The longer we waste here the more powerful Onaga will get! If you and I leave then you might get your powers back.”

      Goku, still looking shocked at the fact that he must fight under his normal state without any of his powers and continued to follow Scorpion through the desolate land of the Netherrealm.



      As Goku followed Scorpion to the portal exiting the Netherrealm he then asked “Hey guy...”

      “My name is Scorpion,” replied Scorpion as he continued to walk.

      “Sorry,” apologized Goku “Hey Scorpion, when you said ‘none of them were successful… as was I‘ what did ya mean?”

      Scorpion stopped for one minute, then he turned around towards Goku and said “One of the sorcerers, Quan Chi tricked me into working for him after he convinced me that my arch-enemy Sub-Zero killed my family. For many years I have fought Sub-Zero for countless times and after our last fight he spoke the truth to me and I vowed for revenge against Quan Chi. Before I could get him however I was ambushed by two Oni Demons known as--”

      Scorpion then stopped for one minute, pushed Goku aside and yelled “You!!”

      As Goku looked onto what Scorpion was yelling at he soon saw two unusual creatures. One of then resembled a rotted out tissued zombie who wore a mask with blue and green markings all over it and a spiked flail as his right hand while the other was a giant, blue hunched forward beast with three eyes and with its left arm wrapped in chains and at the end was a giant iron orb in its claw.

      These were the two Oni known as Drahmin and Moloch.

      As the two Oni were hunting for prey, they soon saw the Golden Ninja posed and ready for combat.

      “Why look Drahmin!” teased Moloch as they stared at their angered combatant “Isn’t that the fool Ninja we outwitted at the Sorcerer’s Palace?!”

      “Why yes it is Moloch!” Drahmin joined in, then he saw Goku and teased “...and look! It seems we’ll be having a second helping after all!”

      Goku’s lit up immediately and asked enthusiastically “You‘ve got food! What is it?!”

      “It’s us you fool!” growled Scorpion as he continued to look onto his assassins.

      Goku looked at Scorpion for a second, turned back to Moloch and Drahmin and asked “You two eat People?!”

      “Why not?!” replied Moloch “What else is there to eat then live flesh?”

      “Now we can have both you and that Ninja as a feast!” Drahmin agreed with Moloch.

      Goku the got angry and said "I don't knwo who you guys are but killing or hurting people is wrong, and I'm not gonna let you guys continue!" Then he posed next to Scorpion.

      Moloch and Drahmin looked at each other, cackled maniacally and asked Goku “Oh really? What do you think you're going to do about it!”

      Scorpion, who heard enough conversation between Goku and the two Oni yelled “How ‘bout you eat this!!” Suddenly Scorpion ran towards Drahmin, ran up his right knee and kicked him across the face.

      “You!” growled Moloch as he began to charge towards Scorpion with immense force. Suddenly Goku ran forward and jump-kicked the giant Ogre-like beast in the face.

      Moloch then held his chin from Goku’s kick and commented “Not bad,” then he swung around and clubbed Goku in the face with his giant iron orb and then commented “…but not good enough!”

      Drahmin then ran towards Scorpion and jabbed him in the stomach while he was occupied watching Goku’s fight. As the Ninja Spectre held his stomach like Moloch had to Goku, Drahmin then clubbed Scorpion in the face with his Flail of a hand.

      As Goku was down from Moloch’s attack, The Giant Ogre-like Oni then grabbed Goku by both of his legs and while continuing to grapple his legs slamed him down the first time next to him, twirled around once and slamed him again this time right in front of him, then he slamed his body into a rock-like pillar and finished it off by tossing Goku into the air and clubbing the Saiyan in the face.

      As Scorpion and Drahmin stared at each other, Drahmin then lifted his Flail hand in the air and made an unusual groaning noise and out of nowhere more than hundreds of flies and other buzzing insects descended from the red sky and started to swarm all around Scorpion.

      Scorpion, frustrated at the constant buzzing around in his face endlessly waved his arms around in the air trying to shoo the flies away.

      Suddenly, the flies ascended into the air and out of sight as out of nowhere Drahmin pounced onto Scorpion, wrapping his legs around his arms and body and with his Flail hand began to bash Scorpion’s face with the Flail.

      Moloch, who was still fighting Goku then roared to Drahmin in some unknown monster tounge language. Drahmin then nodded and after one final club from his Flail hand took Scorpion by the neck and tossed him into the air.

      Moloch then took Goku by the legs once again and using him like a baseball bat knocked Scorpion out of the air and then he threw Goku into another rock pillar.

      As Moloch walked towards the crumbled pile of rubble, he was then hit right in the middle of his third eye by what appeared to be a dusty, dirty red pole, thus causing him to holler in pain as he held his bloody third eye.

      Suddenly, Goku leapt out from the pile of rubble holding his power pult and challenged Moloch to another battle. Moloch roared in irritation and charged towards Goku.

      Goku then leapt into the air just as Moloch was about to tackle him and then swept Moloch from under his legs with the power pult.

      As Scorpion got back to his feet in his battle against Drahmin, he then saw the flesh-like Oni hold his flail arm in the air and was just about to call out another group of buzzing group of insects when Scorpion then vanish into fire, reappeared behind Drahmin and kicked him in the back of the head.

      Goku as he battled Moloch he continued to attack the Ogre-like Oni in the same place: the head. During the battle Goku then struck Moloch so many times in the head, Moloch soon began to make punch drunk faces for each blow with Goku’s fist or the power pult.

      Drahmin soon saw Moloch continuing to take punishment from Goku, so he quickly swung at Scorpion’s face with the flail and immediately ran towards Goku in an attempt to attack him.

      Scorpion however had a different point of view as he quickly sprung back to his feet and threw the Spear towards Drahmin which quickly sunk into the Oni’s back causing him to scream and struggle in pain.

      Scorpion then grabbed the Spear with both hands and yelled “GET OVER HERE!!” as he violently pulled back at the Spear which pulled Drahmin towards the Ninja Spectre.

      Goku after at least a hundred different strikes from both his hands and the power pult finally ended his combination by violently kicking Moloch across the face with his boot causing the colossal beast to wander around dizzily.

      Scorpion then turned Drahmin around, grabbed both of his hands and then with his boots on fire did a somersault back-flip kick and kicked Drahmin’s head off his shoulders.

      Goku then looked at Scorpion and the headless body of Drahmin, then he turned his attention back towards the punch drunk Moloch who was near the ledge of a stream of lava.

      Goku then gave one last yell, ran towards Moloch and kick the massive Oni square in the chest causing the colossal beast to fall back into the lava.

      Goku then fell onto his back tired from the battle against Moloch while Scorpion
took the body of the headless body Drahmin and threw it into the stream of lava.

      Scorpion then looked at his tired partner and asked “Are you okay?”

      Goku looked up at Scorpion and panted “It’s hard… to fight someone… like this.”

      Scorpion shook his head in disappointment; suddenly he stopped and looked around.

      “What’s up?” asked Goku with exhaustion.

      “The portal’s energy, I can feel it!” gasped Scorpion “Get up, we’re almost near our destination!”

      Goku however refused at first and whined “C’mon wait! I have to regain my strength!”

      Scorpion then turned around and grabbed Goku by his hair while growling “I said get up!”

      “OW, OW!! OKAY I’LL GET UP, I’LL GET UP SHEESH!!” yelled Goku as he tried to free himself from Scorpion’s grasp.

      As Goku got back up from Scorpion grabbing at his hair he soon noticed a giant wall with what appeared to be an ancient ruined city on the inside as he saw spike-like poles sticking out on the inside.

      “There’s a city here too?” asked Goku.

      “That’s where the portal is.” responded Scorpion.

      As Scorpion and Goku were just about to enter through the gates leading into the ancient ruined area the two of them noticed groups of Black Ninjas and Skeletons in ancient Samurai Outfits staring at them and whispering with looks of discontent.

      “Uh… Scorpion?” asked Goku “I don‘t think we belong here.”

      Scorpion looked at the Ninjas and said “Just ignore them.” Soon Scorpion then saw what appeared to be a giant, circular ring standing on its rim.

      “That’s our exit,” informed Scorpion.

      As Scorpion and Goku walked up an arch that lead to a big platform with the giant ring Goku then asked Scorpion “Ya ready?”

      “Always,” responded Scorpion “Now stand back.”

      Scorpion then held his arms out on each side and then fiery energy began to gather all around his body, soon after his entire body was consumed by the flames Scorpion then held his left arm out, quickly pulled it back, threw his right arm forward and out of his palm came a trail of fire at the foot of the giant ring and after a short while the middle of the ring was glowing with red energy.

      “This is a portal to the Nexus!” Scorpion yelled to Goku “Once we pass through here we’ll enter the land of the Elder Gods, we must hurry though! Normal energy can‘t keep the gateway open for long!”

      “I’ll meet ya in there!” Goku yelled and dove into the red energy while Scorpion, who was still using his fire to keep the gateway into the Nexus quickly threw his arms to his sides and dove into the gateway before the energy disappeared.

********************************************************************

      Back in Otherworld, the entire Stadium was buzzing with angry protests on the green lightning bolt, the Battlefield suddenly being surrounded by flames, Goku and Caterpy’s sudden disappearance and the mysterious black debris that was scattered across the battlefield. Because of these unusual events, The Grand Kai then announced that the Tournament was to be halted until either combatant had returned.

      “This is an Outrage!” bellowed East Kai “An Outrage!”

      “I say we just write those two Losers out of the Tournament!” suggested West Kai.

      “Oh, so that way you can have your quadrent can win the Tournament unfairly?!” snapped King Kai.

      “No King Kai, only so you have a batter chance at losing and getting humiliated!!” responded West Kai.

      East Kai then walked up to Grand Kai and yelled “Why must we halt the Tournament just because two Participants have just disappeared?!”

      West Kai then got next to East Kai and protested “Write them out already! I want to get this over with!”

      Finally they both yelled in unison “Just continue the Tournament!”

      King Kai then stood in between both West and East Kai, pushed each other apart and said “It’s official, Grand Kai made this decision and it will stay like this, besides I don‘t want Goku to lose the Tournament either!”

      While East and West Kai started to pound on King Kai for ‘kissing up’ to Grand Kai, South Kai ran all around the messy Battlefield looking at all the debris while uselessly calling out to for Caterpy.

      Suddenly a crack of lightning was heard from above the stadium.

      The angered audience, the other combatants and all five Kais then looked up and saw a series of green Lightning Bolts striking at what appeared to be a Giant Black Cloud that was forming above the Stadium.

      Finally, the Black Cloud covered the entire Stadium and on the inside of the shaded arena a giant image of a Dragon’s Head wearing an unusual Helmet appeared and stared down at everyone and around it descended six glowing items that circled around the Head.

      Pikkon then got up and yelled at the Head “Who are you and what do you want?!”

      The Head looked down on Pikkon with its giant gleaming yellow eyes.

      Pikkon then nervously stepped back from the glare of the Head knowing that he said the wrong thing.

      The Head then thundered “EACH AND EVERY SOUL SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!! SOLDIERS… ATTACK!!!”

      Then as the Dragon Head sunk into the black clouds, the six glowing items then began to glow and circle at a fast velocity around a big, black hole that opened up in the center of the clouds thus causing them to resemble that of a Hurricane pattern.

      Suddenly out of the swirling black hole rained thousands and thousands of Skeleton Samurai-like Soldiers.

      Soon as the thousands of Skeleton Soldiers landed to the ground, all of them soon split up in every direction going after any soul they could find and attacking them with either giant Axes or razor-pointed staffs.

      Soon all the other combatents of the Tournament from east and south quadrent (including Pikkon) dashed towards the skeleton soldiers causing a brutal war to erupt transforming the tournament from an entertaining event to brutal battle leaving souls in the balance...
