Walking Death- A Baraka Story

	It was a week after the final Tournament of Shang Tsung.  The combatants, at
least the ones who survived, had all returned to their lives.  Johnny Cage
had gone back to filming Dragon Fist III, Raiden had returned to the sky and
to godly matters, Scorpion had gone to wander the world, and Liu Kang had
returned to his temple.  Sub-Zero was killed by Scorpion, and Sonya and Kano
had killed each other.  

	Liu Kang returned to his temple to find it in ruins, the only survivor being
Kung Lao, the last decendent of the great Kung Lao.  I must have missed him
when I stormed the temple.  By the way, my name is Baraka.  I am the leader
of the Khashigei.  Yes, the famed band of mutants of the Outworld.  Yes, Shao
Khan is my lord.  Yes, I am a mutant.  You got a problem with that?

	Anyways, I had just finished killing the last of the Shaolin when that snake
Shang Tsung called me and my mutants back to the Outworld.  I never did trust
him or that bodyguard Reptile of his.  

	"What do you want, Tsung?
	"Shao Khan wishes to see you, Baraka.  He is pleased with your...
 performance in the Shaolin temple."

	Oh great.  Old skullface himself.  Oh well, I guess it's better to be led by
him, instead of some wuss, or a dick like Shang Tsung...  I gotta admit, he
is an impressive sight.  He is built, and he wears a skull helmet, and, for
some funky reason, a belt with a happy face buckle.  

	"Baraka, you did well in the Shaolin temple.  Your fighting skills are only
surpassed by Adj. General Kintaro.  You and your band will be a fine addition
to my army."
	"Yes, Lord Khan.  But, I wish to speak to you about Shang Tsung.  Why do you
keep him around?  He is obviously not worthy, after losing his so called
"Tournament" to Liu Kang.  And why did you restore his youth?  Besides, I
think he's a real dickhead."
	"I have plans for him.  I need him to collect the necessary souls so he can
build a permanent bridge to the Earth Realm so I may conquer it.  But that is
not of your concern.  I wish for you to see my new prisoners.  You may be
leading them into battle one day."

	He pointed to his right and left, and manacled to chains and posts, were
Kano and Sonya!  

	"My lord, why them?  Give me the word and I will..."
	"You will do nothing, Baraka.  I want the Outworld to corrupt their souls so
I may command them in my army.  Now go Baraka, and see what Shang Tsung wants
you to do."
	"Yes, my lord."

	I left to see what that snake Tsung wanted me to do.  He wanted me to
accompany him to the Shaolin temple to "invite" Liu Kang to his latest
scheme.  He was going to have a Tournament in the Outworld.  Shao Khan's
legendary assassins, Kitana and Mileena, were going to enter, as well as
Reptile.  I entered it too, just to see some action.

	Anyways, Tsung did this funky sorcery thing, and we were magically there.
 Tsung called out for Kang, and he came, and Tsung introduced me, and of
course, Reptile was there too.  Kang yelled, and did his flying kick, but he
missed us.  Then Reptile pulled down his hood and spat his venom on to Kang.
It hit him with a hiss, and Kang yelled in pain.

	"What's wrong, Kang?  Losing your touch?  I invite you to a second
Tournament.  Refuse, and I will destroy you."
	Tsung, you lying dog!!  I challenge you now so I may defeat you for a final
time!!"
	"I will not be tempted by you, Shaolin dog.  Do not try to , or do you wish
Baraka here do try his hand at you?"

	I smiled at these words, and extended my arm blades with a loud *ching*.  I
snapped them together, and a bright blue spark erupted from them and hit him
in the chest.  He yelped in pain and jumped back.

	"I accept you invitation, Tsung.  And this time I will destroy you!!"
	"I doubt it.  Be at the temple gates in one week, or you will surely be
destroyed.  By the way, Reptile  and Baraka will be fighting in the
Tournament.  I wouldn't doubt it if you were finished by either of them.
 Good day, Shaolin dog."

	And with that, we dissapeared from his sight  I couldn't wait until my
battle with him.  I asked Tsung who else was going to be in his Tournament.

	"Well, Baraka, I'm going to...  coerce Johnny Cage to enter this one, the
Ice Ninja Sub-Zero will enter it, or should I say Sub-Zero's brother will
enter, just to try to assassinate me again, and since he's going to enter,
Scorpion will enter too.  I have a feeling that the last decendant of that
maggot Kung Lao will enter, and an Earth warrior named Jax, who will try to
rescue Sonya.  Reptile will enter, of course as well as Kitana and Mileena.
 I also will be in the Tournament.  And if I am defeated, Adj. General
Kintaro wil rip the warrior from limb to limb."

	This all happened just a few minutes ago.  I have been thinking of a plan to
defeat Shang Tsung.  And maybe if I can defeat Kintaro, I might be able to
finally defeat Shao Khan!  Then I will rule the Outworld!  I'll even be able
to make Mileena finally marry me!  Yes, I do have a slight crush on her.  You
got a problem with that?  *ching*


<A day later>

	I've got it!  Not only will I enter the Tournament, but when I defeat
Kintaro (fucking wuss...  He always walks in to my blades...  Strong, but
dumb...), I'll heav to fight Shao Khan...  It will be so easy.  I saw Raiden
fight Mileena earlier.  She defeated him, of course, and killed him.  God I
love that woman!  Hopefully I won't have to kill her.  I get to fight that
dickhead Reptile today.  How special.  I know all of his tricks...  His
"invisibility" won't fase me in the least.  I'll be able to hear him.  Why
the hell do you think that I have such big ears for?

	*ching*  That was refreshing.  Reptile actually fought well...  But not well
enough.  He's...  hanging around, if you know what I mean..  If you're that
dumb, he's on the ceiling of the Kombat Tomb, impaled on the same spiked that
used to serve him dinner...  Fitting,  isn't it?

	Damn.  I have to fight Mileena today.  I'll keep the ring I killed Blocker
for in my gi.  If I win, I'm gonna give it to her..  Damn, I love her!

	Thank the unholy that I won.  But for some reason, I don't think that the
Khan was happy over my gift for Mileena...  After announcing my victory, he
said, "Friendship...  FRIENDSHIP?!?"  I got what you would call a very strict
and painful lecture over that one...  But I think Mileena was impressed.

	Ha!  I just killed that dick Jax.  Oh boy, was he a threat.  I guess Tsung
just got some "soul food"  What, you don't think that's funny??  I do...
*ching*  Now you do.

	Yes!  I finally get to fight that idiot Liu Kang.  I will destroy him!!!  He
is no match for my awesome fighting skills.  Besides, he dosn't have these
babies...  *ching*

	Got the bastard.  He thouhgt he was gonna get to do his windmill kick on
me...  I don't think so.  He hung off of my blades rather good as I impaled
his ass.  I just love that high pitched scream.  I can still hear it now...

	Scorpion is next.  Oh no, a dead guy.  I'm so fucking scared.  I'll cut his
fucking head off.  And then keep that skull for a trophy.

	You know...  I think that skull is gonna look pretty good on my wall, don't
you???  Ha ha ha ha...

	Sub-Zero...  I wonder how it would have been if i had to fight him...  too
bad Scorpion fried his ass...  Oh well...  

	I'm gonna let Kitana live...  After all, she IS Mileena's twin sister, and
if Johnny Cage gets lucky, then I'll always have her to fall back on....

	Nah...  never mind.  My babe just killed Cage.  Sucked him in and spit out
the bones.  I love her smile.  Reminds me of...  why, my own!  Oh yeah,
Kitana, or rather her skeleton, is floating in the dead pool...  Oh well, she
would have been a nice piece of ass to take for my own...

	I am gonna kill that dick Tsung!!  He just decided to bring that asshole Liu
Knag back to life, after I took all the pains of impaling his ass!!!  Oh
well, I'll just kill him right now...  Hey Kang, c'mere for a second, I wanna
talk to you...  *ching*  "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"

	Tsung is dead...  I chopped off his head.  time to fight Kintaro...  Oh boy
what a challenge.


	What'd I tell ya?  The dumb ass walked right into my chopping blades.  Time
after time, his ass got chopped...  he was strong but like the typical
four-armed brute, dumb.  Now I get to fight the Khan!! I can't wait untill
tomorrow!! But, I get to see Mileena tonight.  I hope I can get her in the
sack.  She is such a babe!

	Ding dong the Khan is dead, The Khan is dead, I cut his head!!  Ding dong
the dumb ass Khan is dead!!   Now, I can lead my band of mutants into battle,
and I will finally rule this world.  And Mileena will be my queen.  Yes, i
got her in bed last night.  Let me tell you, she is a screamer!!  OH but what
she can do with those sais!!  I know I'm in love.  Oh well, time to take over
the world!


(Author's note:  Actually, I have nothing to say.  Besides the fact that this
story proves what you all have been thinking.  I am insane.  Thank you for
your support.)
