Crap, I Was Rifted

Arriving this time was a cinch. Looking around Azul was surprised to see Riku standing right next to him. On his right side stood Kasumi, Tifa, Jaina, and the Thessia sisters. He was even more surprised to see the devastation that had taken place around the area still. Another Rift opened with the others stepping out. Led by well him and Ruby. Onyx, Torbin, Kat, Shun, Cassandra, and Ruma walked behind looking intently.

"Cant believe you had an orgy before we left." Jaina shook her head. She was holding back her laughter. "Way to have your priorities in order."

"I trained then did that. I also did a lot of work to." Azul said smiling. Aurora just hummed happily. Her biotic strands were quite happy. "Everyone just take a second right quick."

Riku took a knee in confusion. She raised her hands up to keep people away. "Your not fine at all," Tifa said. "You need to rest and not fight the memories."

"Yes, I am fine." Despite what Riku said Azul could see her shiver a little bit. Then he paid attention to the clothes she wore. "Stop staring at me!" Riku snapped at him!"

"F.u.c.k, sorry. Why are you mad at me for?" Turning around, AzuI noticed a few others had change the clothes to look skimpier. "F.u.c.k that nonsense." With a wave of his magic, they reverted back to normal. "Idiots I swear. That's armor, not a fashion statement."

"Haha, told you so," Aurora said as she dr.a.p.ed over his back. "But it would have distracted the enemy." She whispered in his ear. "During that time we could have gutted them like fish."

"I rather none of you get gutted," Azul said. The other him walked over and they fused back. Information pouring in as they synched. "The fighters her barely fall for that stuff. The ones who do.. you do not want that attention."

"What the hell is this place? No way this is earth, it looks like shit!" Ashley said with Torbin nodding.

Galtea: This is Edina. You and Riku along with Bi-Han are here to pick up someone. The specific area you are in, happens to be a collapsed space. It is the result of Edina losing to Shao Khan a few years ago. This timeline is unlike any you have been to. Be careful. The lore of the world has been warped and twisted. Hold on as I get additional info.

Alita: A User has been here. Unlike before Mortal Kombat 10 and 11 have taken place somehow. It seems the System was able to start several World's early due to you. OutWorld and Edina have dragged Earth Realm into this it seems. A lot of what happened in Deadly Alliance is prominent. With unusual results for Edenia. In their favor for one.

System: Assist a side in the fate of the World. Failure leads to the deterioration of the World. Success: ????

Choice: Shokan (Sheeva & Goro's race)

Choice: Tarkata (Baraka's Race)

Choice: Zaterra (Reptiles race)

Choice: Elder Gods (Raiden)

Choice: Out World (Shao Khan's forces)

Choice: Lin Kuei

Choice: Shirai Ryu

Task 1: Make a name for your Division.

Task 2: Survive till the end.

Task 3: Correct the World as best as you can.

"So... the plan is what?" Kasumi asked. She looked at Azul who had an incredulous look on it. "Umm, you ok?"

"Play it by ear. We are Earth Realm's defenders. But we are not the only ones. There are two more divisions of us. As long as we win two out of three everything is fine. That or we beat the ones that beat the other teams anyway." Azul said after getting a grasp of things. "Why is the Elder God's an option?" Rubbing his temple he received on faint memories of 10 and 11 storylines. Old man him played the games but his memory was fuzzy. Which means they were out of luck for a while.

"What of our missions?" Jaina asked. "A lot of us received a bunch upon arriving."

"I am surprised I could stay a Krogan. Then again I am a very slender one now." Ruma looked herself over slowly. The other Krogan that were acquired had changed as well. They were all Zaterra's, a reptilian race. It did suit them. "I could like this if it had my strength still. Feel a little weaker somehow."

"We didnt change that much as a human though," Amethyst said. "Guess the differences between humans and Asari are few. I do like the hair though." She played and toyed with her blonde hair. A few streaks of purple mixed in. "My t.i.t.s are smaller. But my a.s.s is tighter. What a weird trade-off." Violet purple eyes that shined when she circled her power.

"I stayed the same. Well, my abs are more defined." Ruby added. "I can feel everything is normal." Her hair was completely red.

Her height matched her sisters except for Onyx. She was quiet as she kept her cowl raised and her mask secured. Black wisps of energy blocked her face. Azul saw her white eyes looking at him intently. Reaching out a mental connection they linked. She instantly relaxed.

'Nervous for some reason?' Azul questioned her.

'Yes. I wish to remain close to you. For your protection. I .. I would like that to be my role." Onyx moved closer behind him. Seeing Azul nod, she placed her hands on his back and turned to black mist. She entered his clothes and wrapped around underneath him. All across his body was a then layer of black. In seconds it vanished. 'I will keep them away, as I master my powers more.'

'Very well.' Azul didnt mind as it allowed him to relax some. "Shun you are in charge of medical. Do keep that in mind."

"Of course. That is something I can defintely do." Shun smiled very happily with his job.

"Get to them. Those who are new to this, try to stay close to me or a senior member. Other than that, take a minute to resonate with your soul. All the information you need will be there." Azul looked at Tifa who flipped her quest at him. She had taken his place more or less. Her and Riku both were raised by him with the Lin Kuei subgroup. However, she received additional training from Bi-Han. "Nice." The others scattered to get to work. Leaving Riku, Tifa, Ruby, and Tiffany behind.

-A few hours passed-

"Great just great. Where the hell is Teacher at then?" Tifa talked out loud. She was antsy till her pulse jumped. She switched to battle mode instantly. Behind her, A body started to form out of gasoline and oil from a flipped over car. Riku had walked away scouting ahead. The same as last time.

The oil figure turned into Bi-Han right before the blow stabbed her. Magic went off on Tifa as she used Hastega on herself. She moved to the side and flipped the person across the way. It splattered and turned into a puddle. Turning now face to face with her attacker.

A palm thrust went pass Tifa's side, as Bi-Han attacked again. Tifa moved and back kicked into a flip. Her foot caught against his other palm. "Snatch," with practice ease, before Tifa could move free, Bi-Han already turned her ankle trying to snap it.

"No, you dont!" Tifa crunched forward. Her fists coming directly at Bi-Han's face. "Storm Blast!"

"Fwoosh!" A blast of wind shot out. Not wanting to get blasted, he moved to let go of her. As the wind shot came at him, Bi-Han moved his hands around it. In less than two seconds, it turned into an inky missile.

"To weak child." Bi-Han's voice came hauntingly. With a spin, he launched it back at her.

"Shit!" On reflex, Tifa threw up a Biotic Shielding mixed with wind and water. "Not fast enough!" She grunted as it iced over some. Should have spun the wind faster!' Sliding on a wind current to make some distance, Tifa was having trouble getting rid of the ball. "Grrr, how much was put into this?!"

"Schllik!" A trail of black liquid formed. Bi-Han slid on the slick trail. A black liquid scythe forming. With a swing, it made contact and broke right through it. The rejuvenating feedback boosting Tif enough to deflect the scythe. With a straight jab, it was blown away, turning back into oil.

"Splat!" Tifa took a defensive pose to intercept his next attack. She shifted on her feet a little. "Swish!" Bi-Han moved his left head in a deadly strike that aimed for her exposed t.h.i.g.h during her shift of footwork.

Pushing the power of her Hastega, Tifa caught his next palm strike. "Tap!" Her quick jab knocked his hand down towards the ground. Realizing she threw his hand down with too much force, Bi-Han used the momentum to flip and kick her in the head with his heel. "Wack!" Tifa blocked with her forearm and tried to make a little distance.

"To slow!" Bi-Han said as he jumped forward with a front kick.

Taking her chance, Tifa crouched a little and swung up with a closed fist hitting the back of his calf. "Wham!" Her fist went right through his t.h.i.g.h. Bi-Han reformed around her backside. He was poised to deliver another crippling blow. Leaning forward, Tifa kicked off the ground with one hand. Feet combing directly towards his face with a double back kick. "Wiff!" It missed. As he did a split. Tifa rolled herself forward and away. Her Hastega wearing out.

Bi-Han reformed across from her. He dusted himself off and moved his hand out to the front. Doing the come hither motion with his fingers he openly taunted her.

"Fine. Dad didn't raise no chicken." Charging forward Tifa let all her defenses drop. Relying back on her natural fighting style of speed and power. Each strike was parried effortlessly but she had stamina.

"Haaa," Azul sighed from the sides. He already located a few others nearby. They were hidden but were moving towards them. Non-threatening anyway. Ruby was poised to strike like a lion as she sensed them. "Calm down. They are the others with him. I cant believe he has turned into Noob-Saibot."

"If you say so." Ruby moved a little closer to Azul. She only looked at the spar with relative interest. Her general focus on the others approaching. "Even with the knowledge I have, this guy is dangerous. He doesn't match anything I know."

"That is formerly Sub-Zero. A man by the former name Bi-Han. Is the information we received wrong?"

Alita: No it isn't. Your information fits up to the you here has access to. The different change, however, is outside your scope. You can purchase it but massive point loss and drop in rewards.

'Hah no. We will move forward as planned. With the different timeline involved that knowledge could change even then.' Azul responded then gave his attention back to the fight. He was not too worried.

When a high kick came her way, Tifa leaned in taking the blow with her shoulder. Sending her left elbow out, she aimed for his exposed t.h.i.g.h. Before it made contact, Bi-Han grabbed her elbow with his other arm and flipped her to the ground this time. Body reforming in away that gave Azul new ideas for his fighting style.

As Tifa fell forward, she curled her body in. She rolled away underneath him and gather her magic to strike. She wired a light blast of wind out. "Hah!" The airball disrupted him a little. Several currents running through his body keeping it from maintaining its form for a moment.

"What the hell?" Bi-Han was a little surprised at this. Tifa surrounded her self in magic and moved in for some powered up blows. Bi-Han reformed right at the first blow.

"Thump," his body made a muffled sound. It would have done more if he wasn't composed of magic. Bi-Han only moved back slightly. When his fist whipped out, Tifa jumped to the side on her hands. "Whoosh," Bi-Han whipped out a whip-like attack. It was his leg in the shape of a scythe. Then his other kick came I did the same. This went on and on, with Tifa just jumping to the side on her hands. Bi-Han going for a kick her evading. Eventually, she was backed against a dumpster.

"Dammit." She bent her arms to get ready to make another leap or jump away. Magic already gathering to boost her body.

Bi-Han didn't come forward as she thought. Instead, he took a stance centering himself. His hands moved around his c.h.e.s.t. Little strands of water gathering around. They then turned to crystals of ice pulled from the air and came his way.

"What?! He still has his Cryomancer powers!" Azul yelped surprised.

"Oh shit." Realizing the danger, Tifa jumped up putting her strength in her legs. "Hup. Her we go!" Having launched herself a good distance in the air. She felt the breeze as the inked ice blast fired. 'Shit hope this work.' Releasing her magic into her fist, she came straight down at it. "Dolphin Blow!"

"Eheh!" A dolphin song out with glee. Shifting air and water surrounded her fist. Tifa pulled the air from around her boosting her speed. A smile of glee on her face.

"Boom!" The two attacks blew up in the air upon contact. Still pushing against it, Tifa gritted and released a burst of power from within.

"Grr, I won't lose!" Tifa's eyes caught sight of Azul for a second. 'He is watching. That is good. Hope he is ready for when we fight again.' Her thoughts shifting back to Bi-Han. "Blaster!"

"Kaboom!" The force of the explosion was instant. "Bam!" Tifa hit the side of the building. Her back stuck inside. With a tap of her feet, she shot forward.

"Scrrrrcchh!" Bi-Han was pushed along the ground about 11 feet before he stopped. His leg creating two trenches. From the look in his eyes, he sorta looks like he was smiling. Tifa didn't care either way.

The building didn't fair to well from her push off.

Bi-Han tried to time his attack just right. Tifa could already perceive what he was going to do. An over handed chop to her neck. 'Nah, I don't think so.' Her fist came down first.

"Fwip!" Bi-Han sidestepped it. "Tump!" Her left foot touched down next. Pivoting with excess force, Tifa came with a powerful roundhouse kick. "Woosh!" It missed as Bi-Han crouched out of the way. His palm shot out connecting in her back.

"Oof!" Tifa g.r.o.a.n.e.d. She turned casting a speed spell. 'Haste!' With the increase in speed she attacked with abandon. Her right fist came first. Bi-Han continued his plan sidestepping and then going for her neck. 'Not gonna happen!' Tifa thought. She redirected her magic towards her neck.

"Whack," her plan worked only a little. Only some of the strike was mitigated. Not missing his chance to attack, Bi-Han struck her body. "Thwap!" The sound was very audible. "Whack!" He paid for that. Tifa's fist caught his chin. "Crack!" His bone broke from the blow. Mask fell to the side on the ground with some teeth.

Slowed from the strike previously, Tifa's body paused to catch up with her mind. Bi-Han started laying into her ribs with palm strikes. He was able to hit her six times before Tifa's body responded to her control.

"Hah!" With a grunt, Tifa activated a full body shield again. When his next palm strike came it broke the shield. Causing him to bounce back. It was formed to hastily to provide any real defense. But that was not what it was for. She wanted it for the quick recharge and the pause in his attacks. Taking the energy in, Tifa squatted low and came up with everything she had hitting him in the gut.

"Umpph," his grunt passed her ears. This made her smile. That smile was short-lived. As he sent a palm strike to her throat. A blast of green wind past between them both.

"That is enough Master." A voice came from the side. Bi-Han stopped in his tracks and stared to the side. Tifa followed suit. What greeted them were the three others. A few other people furthur behind them. The three were Tundra, now known as Sub-Zero. Frost older and about in her twenties. And some women that Azul had a very poor recollection of.

"Huh wait your..." Azul rubbed his temples as Observe went to work and helped pulled the name for him. "Yeah, your Sareena. What are you doing here?"

Observe: Sareena Lvl ??

Status: Calm, Cheerful
