                                                                    Mileena's Bedchambers

Scorpion had awoken from a restful slumber, ontop of him is the now Empress of OutWorld, Mileena. Both he and her were fully nude from the night before. Scorpion had been sent to OutWorld to secure an alliance between the NetherRealm with OutWorld. Not only did he secure an alliance, he got the Empress into bed with him.

He slowly and carefully placed Mileena on the bed that the two used last night, exploring the other. Scorpion got out of the bed as quiet as he could and looked out the nearby window, getting a glimpse of what is now allied with the NetherRealm. He saw Tarkartans patrolling the palace garden, Shokan guarding the palace doors.

How was she able to get an alliance between these two races? Scorpion had thought to himself.
Looking behind him, Mileena was still sleeping now cuddling with her teddy bear. Despite being half Tarkartan, and created in the Flesh Pits Scorpion couldn't help but find her beautiful. From the way she would walk, talk and interact with him he knew that she was different than the rest of the other women that have chased after him.

Taking in the rest of his surroundings, he saw their clothes torn to shreds beside the bed. His swords were on her dresser and her sais were thrust into the wall by her door with his kunai chain wrapped around it, rememberance of a certain position the two were in last night.

For the first time in a long time, Scorpion had felt at peace. Of course that peace didn't last long until he started to get migranes. His head was going crazy. He started to see a ninja dressed in blue killing everything Scorpion had worked so hard to protect. This time however, it wasn't his family and clan that was getting killed, it was the alliance that he had just founded with OutWorld, his master Quan Chi, the one that hurt the most was Mileena. Scorpion fell down to his knees, his head in his hands. The flames had started to build around him, hate had started to get into his heart. Groaning in agony, he got up and quickly went to the dresser, grabbing his swords looking around on the dresser for something to sharpen them. Shortly thereafter, he froze when he felt a pair of small hands around his waist.

"Going so soon? Come back to bed Scorpy, I'm not done yet and I know you aren't either!" Mileena said as she snuck up on him.

"No. There is something else that I need to take care of first. The damned Cryomancer known as Sub-Zero has come back from the dead." Scorpion retorted.

"Like you did?" Mileena asked.

"No, he isn't what I am, he's a human again. Not only do I intend to kill him but before that, I'll learn how he did it." Scorpion answered.

"But, I like you as you are my dear Scorpy." Mileena said in a sad tone, pulling him in closer placing her head on the back of his shoulder.

Scorpion stood there motionless after hearing Mileena say that.

"Do not worry, I only wish to learn how he did it only to make sure it doesn't happen again." Scorpion answered.

With glee, Mileena asked "Do you need any help?"

"No. You have an entire realm to run, my only burden is to kill this murderer." Scorpion answered.

"When will you be back? I could really use an emperor at my side." Mileena asked.

"I will be back shortly. I will need new armor however. You've torn mine to pieces." Scorpion replied.

*Mileena giggles*

                                                                   Castle Blacksmith

Scorpion had went to the blacksmith with whatever he could wear from Mileena's room.
The room was hot, steam filled the air. Weapons were hanging on the walls, armor was laid out on a table. In the distance there was a Tarkartan straigtining a sword by the forge.

"You there, blacksmith I need some armor. Not anything that I wore before. My last set wasn't made for being an assassin." Scorpion told the smithy as the approached.

The smithy slowly turned his head and asked "Who do you think you are?"

"I am Scorpion, wraith of the NetherRealm, Quan Chi's weapon of destruction and soon the avenger of the Shirai Ryu."

"Scorpion huh? Yeah I've heard of you. Mileena has a thing for you." The smithy said.

"I know. Tell me, when will the armor be done?" Scorpion asked

"It depends on what you want it to be. Fast and lightweight, heavy but durable or do you want it to be a variant of the two?" The smithy asked.

"I prefer fast and lightweight, only fools say otherwise." Scorpion answered.

"Give me a few hours, it'll be done by then." The smithy told him.

                                                                   Throne room

A few short hours later, the armor was complete. Mileena herself had personally handed him the armor. It was yellow and black with a hood, leather straps mostly held it together, there were sheathes for his swords on the back of it and one on the side.

"What is this for?" Scorpion asked Mileena pointing at the sheath on his side.

"It's for this. I thought that if I gave you a weapon, you'll remember the night we shared together while you're murdering that fool." Mileena said, handing Scorpion one of her sais.

"I, do not know what to say.." Scorpion said as he mumbled for words.

"You don't need to." Mileena interupted, getting closer to Scorpion.

The two stood there looking into each other's eyes or lack there of in Scorpion's case. Until they were interupted by a Tarkartan soldier opening the doors.

"What is it?" Mileena hissed.

"The portal to EarthRealm, is finished." The soldier said.

Scorpion looked at the soldier and then looked at Mileena and nodded. Scorpion had put the sai into the sheath at his side as he exited the throne room.
Thanks to :iconromero1718: for letting me use his "Aftermath" picture, which in part inspired this.
