The SuperBeast Chronicles 22

The next day, Cammy is warming up, throwing some punches and kicks in the air and stretching in the courtyard. Shao Kahn welcomes her coldly.

Shao Kahn: There is still time to run, mortal.

Cammy: Not without my husband.

Shao Kahn: Noble, but foolish. Baraka!

Baraka smiles and growls. He readies himself into a fight stance. Cammy does the same.

Shao Kahn: Fight!

Baraka charges her, wildly swinging left and right hooks, which are no match for Cammy's speed. She bobs and weaves, and follows up with a knee to the ribs and an elbow to the neck. Baraka shakes it off, and goes for a spinning roundhouse, which Cammy counters by sweeping his stationary leg. He falls, and she gets on of him to capitalize. It fails, as Baraka rolls on top of her and extends his arm blades. He goes to plunge it downwards, which is dodged by Cammy sliding underneath his legs and kicking him in the back of the head.

Cammy (My God, he's got blades in his arm!) Come on!

Baraka charges at her once more, which Cammy expected, and meets him with a Spiral Arrow, knocking Baraka down to one knee. She begins a barrage of punches and kicks, until Baraka slices at her arms. Cammy screams in pain, leaving her open to a sidekick from Baraka. He growls in approval. He jumps up in the air, and nails her with a flying sidekick. The impact sends Cammy to the ground. Shao Kahn laughs and rises from his throne, placed in the sand by his minions.

Shao Kahn: Finish her, Baraka!

Baraka: With pleasure!

He dives into the air once more, this time head first. He extends his claws a little further, and dive bombs at Cammy. She struggles to get up. She sparks an idea.

Cammy: CANNON SPIKE!

She meets Baraka in the air, and connects. Her impact, along with her will to win gives her the power to break his neck to the point where Baraka's fangs slam into his collarbone, his neck completely disappeared. He goes limp and drops onto the ground. Shao Kahn, impressed, claps his hands.

Shao Kahn: Well done. Cammy wins! Fatality.

The spectators cheer for the death of one of the contestants. Breathing heavily, Cammy lowers her hands, and begins her walk back to her quarters.

Sindel: She turned it around rather quickly.

Shao Kahn: No matter. She will not survive the next round.

Sindel: Who will she fight next?

Shao Kahn: Why spoil the surprise?

Shao Kahn chuckles as he watches Cammy walk away.
