Mortal Kombat .vs. The Boogeymen

Chapter .18. War's End

(The finale of teh fighting and the conclusion of the story)

Lui Kang flew up and smashed a hole in the rickety cieling of the dream Krueger house, "GAHHH!!!" he cried out as his scared body

impacted again on the second floor cieling before falling back down and landing on his face on the floor. Freddy laughed madly as Lui once

again struggled to his feet, he spat out a mouthful of blood and resumed his fighting stance, Freddy just smiled, baring his jagged and rotted

teeth, "You just dont know hen to quit, I better warn you bitch, things are gonna get a lot messier before Im finished with you" Lui Kang didn't

flinch, he just continued his firey stare at thye dream demon who he believed murdered his student, "I.... will kill you... Krueger!" the monk

managed to growl, droplets of blood dripping from his lips, Freddy made a quick flick of his claw and Lui flew backwards fast and smashed

hard against the wall, a huge crack indented the wall and blood oozed from it in a macarbe display of Freddy's power.

Lui Kang got up once again and pulled his pose, Freddy was starting to get bored of this and approached Lui Kang with his claw scrapping

against the wall causing more bloood to ooze from the house, Freddy got right up into Lui Kangs face and the two stared daggers at eachother,

"Now.... you die" Freddy said... no sarcasm or joking tone in his voice at all, mearly stated like a cold fact, Freddy then raised his claw and

was about to bring it down across Lui's face when an explosion of golden flames erupted beside the two, sending Freddy flying back and

crashing onto the remains of the dining room table. Lui Kang dropped to his knees as loss of blood took hold, he gazed up into the flames as

they slowly began to fade away... and in the centre of the remaining embers... stood Lori, although she began to flicker, as if she were being

pulled away by some unseen force, as if sensing this, Lori spoke quickly and clearly, "Lui! Im alive! You have to listen to me, Freddy is the

key to sending the Boogeymen away, use your powers to destroy him!!" and then she was gone!

...

Shinnok dropped to one knee and began to pant for breath as Lori suddenly reappaerd among the group. Raiden grabbed Shinnok by his collar

and lifted him hard to his feet, "What is the meaning of this!!" the thunder god yelled, Shinnok shoved Raiden hard and dropped to his own feet,

"Krueger's power is strong... as soon as the girl appeard he used everything he had to force her out of his domain..." Shinnok looked towards

Lori and sneered, "I haver done all I can do for you fools". The heroes all looked at Lui Kang sitting in his meditating position, "It's all up to

Lui Kang now..." Sonya said.

...

It took Lui Kang a few moments to gather what had just happened..."Lori..." he whispered... she was alive... she was alive and safe!. Lui

Kang's heart lifted from the sorrow it had occupied and he felt his streangh begin to return to him, along with his control over his own dream!

Freddy quickly jumped to his feet and growled, "Bitch!! Im gonna gut her slowly next time she sleeps!" he yelled angrily... Lui Kang got to his

feet and faced Freddy, "You will not get the chance!" the monk yelled back, Freddy raised his claw and ran towards Lui Kang who stood his

ground and shut his eyes... he thought of his time with Lori when she first became his student... he remembered the stories she told him about

Freddy, about his origins... he focused hard on those memories... on those stories... Freddy bagan to close in... his claw glinted in the dim

moonlight seeping through the cracks in the walls and windows...the demon laughed loudly as he brought the claw down onto Lui Kang

and......

...

Freddy's opened and he jumped back... "What!!" the yelled loudly, he was in his old boiler room! But he didn't want this, he didn't make this

happen! Freddy tried to change the dream, tried to take himself bacxk to Lui Kang to finish him off but... nothing happened... it wasn't

working! "What the fuck is happening!!" Krueger screamed, then he heard a noise... it sounded like people... allot of people, screaming and

shouting from outside the boiler room... "Krueger!! You sick bastard open this door!!" a male voice ringed out amonst the rest, then suddenly

Freddy realised what was happening... But is was to late to do anything about it as a molotov cocktail smashed through the window and struk

Freddy in the chest igniting him in a blaze!! "AHHHH!!!!!" Freddy screamed in agony as the flames engulfed him! More and more cocktails

smashed through the windows, setting the whole boiler room alight! "NOOO!!! YOU WONT GET RID OF ME!!!" Freddy screamed as the

fires flew down his throat, he let out one more mighty roar before he exploded in a blaze of red and gold!

...

Lui Kang opened his eyes and look around... the faces that greeted him were those of his freinds and allies, they looked at him as if they

hadn't seen him in years, "Lui.... you...you did it!" Johhny said placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. Around them, all the Boogeymen began

to slowly fade away, the Mortal Kombatants who didn't know of the situation looked confused as their opponents began to disappear until none

but Ash rermained, then he too began to disappear, "Oh Dam!... Well It's been fun, hey?" Ash said smiling,m Sub Zero faced Ash and

offered his hand to the deadite hunter, "Until we meet again Ash" the cryomance said, Ash smiled and shook Sub Zero's hand before he

completely faded away. At the same time, Shinnok began to skulk backwards and teleported away, along with his generals. Shao Kahn

however remained for a few moments, grinning to himself... Shinnok had failed... even with these new allies... this may show the rest of the

Outworld forces that the old days to him as ruler of all... may once again be required... then he too retreated. Noob Saibot, along with Smoke

and Kano also began to retreat, "We must go into hiding master... Shinnok will seek vengence against us" Smoke said, Noob lowered his head

as he and the others began to teleport away, "There is more than one way to de-thrown a god" the shadow said before they all vanished.

...

A couple of weeks had past and the misty mountain tops of the White Lotus temple came into view. Lori stood at a shine dedicated to Will...

her only love, who died to save her life, Lori felt some tears well up in her eyes, then felt a reassuring hand on her shoulder and Lui Kang

stood by her side. Everyone else had gone back to there lives, even Johnny Cage had left for Hollywood, Lui Kang stayed to continue training

with Lori. "He was a brave young man Lori... and you are indeed a brave woman" the monk said, Lori smiled and gazed into her masters

eyes, "Lui... thank you" she replied, the mists shrouded and overed the two as they began to move towards eachother.

...

Miles away, in a random village, a young girl and boy were holding a jump rope as their friend hopped over it. The boy had something on his

head, a weird hat he found that was just left on his door step, when he firstfound it weeks ago it was burnt and smoking, but for some reason

when he wore it... he felt... a starnge sensation of power... the kids continued their game until they heared a goofy laugh ring out behind them,

"Err... Hello?" the little girl called out.... Then a man dressed in baggy yellow, dolka pot pants, a big red wig, white make up and a red nose

walked from around the corner... he extended his hand which held a handful of balloons, "You wanna balloon kids?... They ALL float".
