The SuperBeast Chronicles 20


Scorpion's harpoon had went through the window, hoping Mike would be on the other side of it. Instead, Scorpion had been greeted by Cammy, who caught Scorpion off guard. He turns around hoping to see Mike, but instead sees a very angry Cammy.

Scorpion: ...Uh-oh.

Cammy: SPIN DRIVE SMASHER!

Cammy Spiral Arrows her way into her patented Cannon Spike attack. Scorpion is sent flying away. Cammy, pistol in hand fires off a few rounds in the air.

Cammy: Everyone out, NOW!

They scatter like roaches. Cammy walks back inside to check on Mike, still on the couch, hacking up a lung. She gives him some NyQuil from the store, hoping it would knock him out enough to forget about being sick.

Mike: Thank you, honey.

Cammy: You're welcome. Why can't people just leave us alone?

Mike: No clue.

Cammy: I wish this would all disappear sometimes.

Mike: Me too.

Cammy: Come on, darling. Let's get you to bed.

Mike slowly climbs the stairs to their room. Cammy tucks him in and goes downstairs. She turns the TV on, and grabs a drink.

Cammy: He's never been this sick. He's never been sick since I've known him. Maybe the shock of seeing his mother for the first time and the extraction of his powers that hurt him. Made him mortal. I don't know. But please God, help him get better.

She silently says her prayer, until she hears a crash. She runs upstairs and notices the blanket on the floor and Mike gone, she finds a note saying...

"Mike is ours. We will have a tournament in Outworld to see who is worthy of our prize. Do not attempt to get him back. You won't survive our -- "

Mortal was the word scratched out.

"Immoral Kombat! Love, Jade and Sub-Zero."

Cammy crumples up the note. She goes outside to see if they left any clues as to which direction they went. She is met with a bolt of lightning, knocking her to the ground. Raiden stands above her, offering her a hand to stand up.
