Sonya Blade- Femmefatality 2

The Mortal Kombat tournament had reached its most interesting stage: two of the finest warriors Earth had to offer, would fight each other, and only the winner would get to fight the scheming mastermind: Shang Tsung.

It was his quickly concocted scheme that had sown a rift between the forces of Earthrealm, and since it had worked so well, the evil sorcerer decided not to kidnap Sonya Blade, and force Liu Kang into a decisive battle to save her. They would injure each other heavily, and whoever won, had no chance- or at least this was Shang Tsung’s line of thought.

What he did not know, was the scheming of Kitana, the princess of Outworld. She understood Sonya’ feelings, and liked the idea of a female destroying Shang Tsung by exploiting stereotypical male views on women. She was turned on by what the special forces operative did to Kano and afterwards, Johnny Cage.

She managed to contact the Elders, and explain to them that Shang Tsung had violated the rules by successfully manipulating Earthrealm fighters against each other- instead of sending out a representative of the Outworld, after Prince Goro was beaten.

As she notified the ethereal creatures of Shang Tsung’s breach of rules, the fight between Sonya Blade and Liu Kang was about to start. She suggested an unusual punishment- stripping Shang Tsung of his powers.

The Elder Gods were at times humorous, and thus, approved of Kitana’s idea, as Shang Tsung would suffer humiliation once his turn to fight the winner came. Her secret hopes were that Sonya would be able to deal with Shang Tsung once he was made mortal like her. First, she would have to defeat Liu Kang, though.

The Chinese male could not get out of the fight, much as he was displeased with the thought of fighting another Earthrealm warrior. However, he witnessed Sonya enjoy killing Johnny Cage in a torturous way, and this acted to remove at least some of the objections he had to the fight.

Thus, he stood, watching the movements of Sonya Blade wordlessly, ready to react to any attack of hers.

Seeing that he wasn’t going to attack first, Sonya thought he was scared of her, and confidently went forward, testing him with a rising body blow. Liu Kang deflected it with his right arm moving to push out Sonya’s left, as the punch was coming.

Seeing that they blocked each other ‘s punches, both combatants went for a kick, timing it almost simultaneously. It was a middle kick in each case, and since both connected, two bodies fell on the ground, causing Shang Tsung to chuckle, as both fighters were embarrassed briefly.

As both of them jumped back on their feet, Liu Kang noticed Shang Tsung’s amusement, and spoke sternly to Sonya:” He is laughing- as we fight each other!”

”It’s a tournament of fighters, Liu.”, she replied with minor annoyance, before launching a series of punches and kicks. Liu Kang was forced to the defensive, but successfully parried his attacks- except the last one.

Liu Kang’s leap into the air surprised her, and as he tried to vault over her in a corkscrew-like motion, the blonde pivoted to face him, but, as she swung a punch to hit him mid-air, he landed on his arms, while his feet kicked her in the chest, producing a pained groan, as the American woman fell backwards.

Soon, Liu was upon her, attempting a downward leaping punch was he unleashed a battle cry. Sonya had to roll away, and barely dodged the blow, as the Shaolin fighter hit the sand next to her head.

Desperate, she kicked at his feet, and scored a hit almost by luck, causing the monk to stumble. Taking the chance, she wrapped her legs around his left arm, quickly grabbing onto it with her arms, as well.

Liu Kang had to act quickly to get out of the hold, and so, he used his right fist to swing vicious punches at Sonya’s chest and face, while preventing her from straightening his trapped arm out.

However, in doing so, he opened herself to a counterattack by Sonya, who gritted her teeth and withstood the painful blows, before releasing one of her legs from the grapevine trapping Liu’s arm.
