Mortal Kombat Legends: Blood Bound

Chapter 6: Sea Of Souls

After riding for 35 minutes, bird boy and the general finally reach the port, the which is full of Outworlder citizens. Nico, having been used to Earthrealm and it's standards, feels a bit uncomfortable.

ROBIN: Wow, so many people here... you sure we'll find the right man here?

MUCHACHA: I'm certain of it. He should be somewhere around the docks, and if not, the locals should know his location. Just ride along, and let me handle this.

ROBIN: Sit still, let you do the talking, got it.

The two leave their horses near the entrance of the small town, heading off to the pier. It is here where they meet Kharon, one of, if not the best captain in all of Outworld, who Muchacha is quite familiar with. The two meet up with the sailor, who is leaning against the side of his ship.

MUCHACHA: Hey there, Kharon. Long time no see. How are things at sea?

Kharon, turning around and looking at the two, is surprised.

KHARON: Oi, Muchacha. How long has it been, a year? Anyways, to answer your question, everything is great, though not much work has been coming my way.

MUCHACHA: Hey, listen, I need you to do me a favor. Could you give my friend and I a lift to an island in the west side of the sea? We need to find a blood mage.

Robin is a bit suprised at the fact that she called him a friend, blushes a bit under his mask.

KHARON: Sure, I can give you a ride, BUT I won't carry anything illegal. I don't want any trouble.

Robin, looking up, sees the ships and starts walking. He gets distracted by the sights and sounds. The general follows him.

MUCHACHA: Don't worry about anything illegal, old friend. Just a simple favor. Now, about the price?

KHARON: Well... Since this is you, I will give you and your friend here a discount. What say you about 40%?

MUCHACHA: Make it 60.

KAHRON: 50. Take it or leave it.

MUCHACHA: Fair deal. When can you have us off the coast?

Kharon, looking at his pocket watch.

KHARON: I can get us to the islands by the evening, how's that sound?

MUCHACHA: Perfect. Robin, lets go.

Robin, who is distracted, snaps out of it.

ROBIN: Oh, yeah, let's go. Nice to meet ya, Kahron.

Muchacha grabs him and starts heading off. Kahron’s crew members pull up the anchor, open the sails, and Kahron shouts out the following

KHARON: Sail ho!

The ship sets sail as the general and rogue make themselves comfortable and brace themselves for the ride. Muchacha leans on the ships wooden railing looking stoic as she stares over the horizon, and Nico tries his best to keep his balance on the rocking vessel. Noticing her on the other side, the masked man slides over to her, sitting on the railing.

ROBIN: Sooooo… you enjoying the view?

MUCHACHA: Why are you acting nice?

ROBIN: Look, I’m not acting, I’m actually tryin’ to be nicer to you. Considering that if I don’t, you’ll feed me to the sharks. Or whatever is in here...

He says, as he turns around, looking down at the bright green ocean, with hundreds of souls spread around the ocean, with some of them trying to grab onto the ship.

MUCHACHA: Souls. Of all those who drowned in the sea. Imagine souls in a place called the Sea Of Souls.

ROBIN: Figured. So, you got any plans for when we get this job over with?

MUCHACHA: I’m getting back to work at the front lines.

Robin, showing an unpleasant expression started mocking her lightly, because it worked so perfectly the first time.

ROBIN: Is all you do work related? Don’t you ever kick back and catch some rays?

The general, showing a disaproving scowl toward the caped crusader, turned her head.

MUCHACHA: I can’t afford to be lazy. I only have one goal, and thats to change the way people look at me and my species. I’m trying to be a person who would protect the people from people like that cyclops who attacked the palace half a year ago. I wasn’t there when the Kahn needed me the most, what if I’m not there when she’s dying? What if–

Robin raises his tone, trying to slow her down.

ROBIN: Calm down!

Muchacha, looking at him stops, as she’s getting over her head.

ROBIN: Listen, Kitana will be fine. I’ve worked for her long enough to know she’s capable of herself. Look, believe it or not, I was a lot like you.

MUCHACHA: Now you’re lying and not even trying to hide it.

ROBIN: I’m not! Just… listen, okay? My people were slaughtered in cold blood, afterwards I didn’t know what to do or where to go. I was scared because a boy was wanted for the murder of five guards.

MUCHACHA: That boy was you, I presume?

ROBIN: Yes. Soon enough, the mage Dorfen took me in and... I was never alone again. Years go by, I work for Kitana, getting rid of late night assasins and chilling on the roof, rent free.I always re-think if I’m able to fight some of these guys, though I don’t look it.

The daughter of Shao Kahn realized now why the masked man tried to kill her a few days ago. Knowing this, she still doesn’t know how to react, so she forgives him. Sorta.

MUCHACHA: I… forgive you.

Robin, quite confused, makes the following exclaim.

ROBIN: I’m sorry, you WHAT?

MUCHACHA: Forgive you. For trying to assasinate me, that is. You have one thing that stands out from other fighters i’ve met, an honest soul and a strong will for what is right. And I can respect that in a kombatant..

ROBIN: Well thats two things but, thanks anyways–

Before their dialogue is continued, there is a loud crash on the ship. Looking out to the sea, they see a ship with a black flag atop the sail.

MUCHACHA: We’re under attack!

ROBIN: Phew! And good timing, for a second I thought people would start shipping us over this scene.

Muchacha, holding her sword out, looks at Robin with a weird expression.

MUCHACHA: What the hell are you on about?

ROBIN: You do NOT want to know! What we need to do right now, is get rid of these bozos before–

A spear is shot right between where they’re standing, reeling the ships closer to one another.

ROBIN: That, before that.

The people would climb onto the ship with a plank, drawing their blades towards Kahron and his crew. Soon enough the captain of the opposing ship would walk out.

CAPTAIN: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Now that we have the formalities out of the way, leave this vessel or suffer greatly.

ROBIN: Guessing you’re the captain of this here “merry crew”?

CAPTAIN: You’d be correct, bird boy.

Amara would start chuckling, and this would be the first time that Nico saw her do this.

CAPTAIN: And what’s so funny, fish-looking thing?

MUCHACHA: Oh you know. The funny thing is, that you think we give in that easely.

CAPTAIN: … what?

As he said that, the daughter of Shao Kahn drew her sword, slicing a pirate’s head off. Robin jumps back to the other half of the ship, taking out his phone and playing a sick toon to fight to. He takes out his daggers, stabbing and slicing men left and right. Kahron’s crew is trying to get away from the bloodshed if possible, because they left they’re weapons below the deck. While Muchacha slays the pirates with minimal issues, Robin flips around, kicking and stabbing jobbers wherever he can.

CAPTAIN: They’re killing you bozo’s! Do something useful for once!

Muchacha, pulling her sword out of a dude, heared Robin’s music and is confused but intrigued.

ROBIN: You like it? Its Earthrealm music.

MUCHACHA: I don’t quite understand it, but I find it amusing. When we’re done, show me more of this music.

She says, as her sword slices across the chest of a pirate, and the caped crusader wipes blood off his dagger.

ROBIN: Will do, chief.

As the two stab and slash along, Muchacha was kicked in the stomach by the captain, seeing as most of, if not, all of the pirates were either injured, killed or tossed into the sea.

CAPTAIN: Well, seeing as I can only rely on myself, I’ll do just that to kill you two.

As he did that, Nico’s favourite song kicked in, hyping him up immensly.

ROBIN: Oh, ho ho. Alright, buddy, now you fucked up, PROPER!

Robin would run up to the pirate, doing a back handspring into a double twist, and landing on his chest, fliping back and kicking him in the face. Lighting his daggers on fire, he starts beating on the captain with every imaginable attack possible, wether its kicking, or punching, not minding if he breaks his bones, he would kick him to the plank he boarded Kahron’s ship on.

ROBIN: hope you’re ready for a fatal blow, bastard, ‘cuz I sure as hell am.

He throws his daggers at the pirate’s chest, drop kicking them through and guiding them above them. He then kicked him into the air, and with a snap of his fingers, the daggers launched downwards, stabbing his chest and wind pipe and droping him on the floor. Muchacha gets up and leans on the guardrail to see what happens, and what happens is Robin picks up the captain and tosses him into the Sea Of Souls.

MUCHACHA: Woah…

ROBIN: Impressive, right? Now, you oka–

His sentance was interupted by the board breaking and Robin almost falling into the Sea Of Souls.

MUCHACHA: ROBIN!

She says, as she grabs his wrist as and looks down upon him before he falls into the sea. Robin looks down to the sea with great fear and then looks back up at Amara. She pulls him up, while Robin pushes off the side of the ship with his feet to get back up on the deck.

MUCHACHA: Don’t worry about me. What about you?

ROBIN: I’m, fine, i hesitate to say. My anger took over me, I don’t know what happened.

MUCHACHA: Well for one, you killed the captain, and almost lost the chance to interrogate these fools about why they attacked us, which is why i left one alive. But also, did you do that because you… cared for me?

Nico, scratches the back of his head, thinking of something to say.

ROBIN: Well, you ever heard the phrase “I’d kill for you”?

MUCHACHA: Ooh, fun.

ROBIN: Don’t get too excited, we still don’t want people to draw us together like we’re a couple. Don’t ask me what I'm talking about, you DON’T want to know!

The two turned to the pirate on the ground, preparing to interrogate him

MUCHACHA: So, how do we do this?

ROBIN: How about some “good cop, bad cop”?

MUCHACHA: How’s that work?

ROBIN: Good cop is acting nice to the criminal, whilst the bad cop is more violent. When I say that, I don’t mean stab him in the brain, I mean threaten him at worst.

MUCHACHA: Understood.

They walk up to the criminal at sea, ready to ask him some questions. Muchacha pulls out her sword, pointing it at his neck.

MUCHACHA: WHO SENT YOU!!!

Robin slowly pushes her aside.

ROBIN: I’ll take care of this. Spill the tea, bud, who sent you and your mostly dead buddies?

PIRATE: Well, I was gonna tell her anyways but you’re quite nice so I'll tell you willingly.

Robin eyes Muchacha, who then rolls her eyes.

PIRATE: We were sent to stop you by a wizard by the name of Xandras. I only know he doesn’t want his work undisturbed, and that he has some boy captive that he needs for some devious plan or something, I don't know further.

Robin and Muchacha exchange a look, both thinking the same thing. They look back at the pirate.

MUCHACHA: Where's he located? Give me coordinates. Now. Or I'll make sure you won't be able to swim away from this ship. And that's a promise.

PIRATE: H-He's on an island, about 10-15 kilometers South from here?

the caped crusader put his hand on the pirate's shoulder, smiling under his mask.

ROBIN: Thank you, friend. You've been of great help. Muchacha? He's all yours.

Muchacha, grinning and showing her sharp teeth, cracks her knuckles and the pirate gulps.

Danny has an Ice Core.

He isn't aware of it, but this does, in fact, greatly influence how his ghost form looks as he grows up.

His appearance starts getting more rugged, eyes a paler, more piercing green, hair a bit more uncontrollable and wild.

He packs muscle easily, even in human form.

When in ghost form, he has an aura of something patient and dangerous, and that sense only grows the older he gets.

Basically, our boy starts to look like a viking.

No matter how goofy and bumbling he really is, his first impression is always a horrifying moment for whoever is meeting him.

And as his ghost form grows with his human form, he outgrows his hazmat outfit. Frostbite and the Far Frozen fashion him some new clothes-which only compliment and play off of the viking aesthetic he's got going on.

And with the height he inherited from his father?

Our man is a very, very intimidating figure to look at. More so than Dan; because while Dan was dangerous and scary, he was all energy and lightning and rage.

Adult Danny comes across as lethal and terrifying, all ice and persistence and that final, terrible silence before you realize you've already died.

Dan felt like the warrior in front of you. Danny feels like the wilderness in winter, vast and unforgiving.

Anyways, when a summoning for Klarion goes horribly wrong and Danny gets called instead, the Justice League has a moment where they're convinced they've summoned something much, much worse than Klarion.

And Danny, standing there completely confused, is not helping by remaining silent and still while staring John Constantine in the eye.

Good news, the bad guys are also very concerned about the weird ghost viking and are actually moving to stand side by side with the Justice League on this.

Bad news, who the fuck is this guy?

"...Fuck," is all Constantine whispers, backing away slowly.
