Somewhere in Outworld

"General, the tarkartan forces are ready to attack Earthrealm."

"Excellent, tell them to begin the invasion."

"Yes, general."

This will surely make Mileena my wife

In the Flesh Pits

Shang Tsung walked up to Mileena who had been sitting on one of the tables where Shang Tsung had made countless monstrosities.

"Here is the bear you wanted." He told Mileena as he handed her the bear.

Excited, Mileena jumped up and grabbed the bear from Shang Tsung.

"Thank you!" Mileena said while hugging the bear tightly.

He smirked at her before he started "Now if you excuse me, I have other business to attend to."

In the Netherrealm

Scorpion had been thinking about what his wife, Kara had told him when he decided to go to the village where he lived with his wife and son, again.

In Outworld

Mileena had been in her room thinking about how she is going to give the bear to Scorpion when she heard two tarkartans outside of her room. She approached her door and listened into the conversation.

"Do you know where this portal goes to?" One tarkartan asked another.

"Baraka said it puts you in random places in Earthrealm." The tarkartan responded.

Baraka? Why does he want to invade Earthrealm? Mileena asked herself.

"I heard that Quan-Chis puppet, Scorpion is in Earthrealm."

"He isn't going to be any trouble once I get my blades on him!"

"We will see about that."

Scorpion is in Earthrealm? This is my chance to give him this bear. But, how do I get to the portal without being seen? Mileena asked herself. Hmm, perhaps I should say that I am with them.

Mileena opened her door to see that the tarkartans were nowhere in site. She went back to her bed and grabbed the bear, and looked out her window to see where the portal was.

Near the portal

"Empress Mileena! Care to join us on our invasion of Earthrealm?" A tarkartan who was guarding the portal asked Mileena whilist kneeling before her.

She nodded her head.

"Would you like anyone to accompany you?" The tarkartan asked.

"I will be fine by myself." She answered.

"Very well. Have fun killing."

Mileena smirked at the tarkartan then proceeded to enter the portal.

In Earthrealm

Mileena had entred a place that was familiar to her. Burned down buildings, dead plants and trees.

"This is..." Was all Mileena could say before someone completed her sentence.

"The home of the Shirai Ryu."

Mileena turned around to see the General of the tarkartan horde, Baraka.

"You, what are you doing here?" She asked him.

"Showing you that I am better than that zombie, Scorpion." Baraka answered.

"You went through all this trouble just to impress me?" Mileena asked.

"Not just impress you, but to take you as my wife!" Baraka said.

"What makes you think I will be your wife?" Mileena asked.

"These two." Baraka responded as his blades came out of his arms.

Mileena reached for her sais, but she left them in her room in Outworld.

"Aw what's wrong mi-lady? Forget your weapons?" Baraka said as he got closer to Mileena.

As she was backing up, she tripped over a rock. Baraka quickly closed the distance between the two.

"You have no choice but to be my wife now!" Baraka said as his blades got closer to Mileena.

"Never!" Mileena said in defiance.

"Fine then. Prepare to die!" Baraka said as he raised up both his arms.

Mileena closed her eyes shut waiting for her short life to be ended.

Baraka yelled out in pain as Mileena opened her eyes to see a spear coming out of Barakas chest.

Then the spear along with Baraka was pulled back followed by a "GET OVER HERE!" Baraka was pulled towards a figure that wore black and yellow with a mask that covered most of his face with two swords on his back.

Within distance the figure kicked Baraka off the chain. Baraka who had face planted the ground got on his knees to see a hole in his chest. When he looked up, he saw the figure up close. He had white eyes, two swords in his hand, with flames starting to build around him.

"You! You are the reason why the empress won't be my wife!" Baraka said in anger.

With difficulty Baraka stood up to the figure.

"I will not go down so easily." Baraka said as his blades once again came out of his arms.

While the figure was looking at his arms, Baraka headbutted the figure, causing him to drop his swords. Then Baraka knocked the figure down on his back.

"Any last words Scorpion?" Baraka asked as he put his blades on Scorpions chest.

Scorpion just glared at him in silence.

"Not much of a talker now are you? Not like anyone would remember your last words." Baraka said as he raised up on of his blades arms.

In mid swing Mileena jumped on Barakas back, took off her veil and started biting on Barakas neck. Baraka started swinging and moving wildly trying to get Mileena off his back.

Baraka had reached the end of a nearby cliff. Baraka along with Mileena fell.

Quickly, Mileena jumped off Barakas back and grabbed a rock on the side of the cliff. She felt a huge weight on her leg, she looked down and saw Baraka hanging onto her leg for his dear life. The weight was too much for her as she lost her grip on the rock. Her short life flashed before her eyes when suddenly someone grabbed her hand. She looked up and saw Scorpion keeping her and Baraka alive.

"Kick him!" Scorpion told Mileena.

"No don't! I offer you my tarkartan forces if you let me live!" Baraka yelled out.

Mileena kicked Baraka off of her causing him to fall down the cliff.

Scorpion pulled Mileena up on solid ground with him on his back and Mileena ontop of him. For a short moment they looked into each others eyes until Scorpion pushed Mileena off him.

"Why did you save me?" MIleena asked Scorpion as she got up.

"I have my reasons." Scorpion answered as he started to go back to the Netherrealm.

"Wait!" Mileena yelled out.

"What is it?" Scorpion rudely asked.

"I want you to have this." She said as she showed him the teddy bear.

Scorpion stared at the bear, the memories of his son flooded his mind. He looked up into the sky and saw his wife, Kara and his son, Jubei looking down at him with smiles on their faces. A tear had escaped Scorpions right eye. He looked back at Mileena and approached her and put an arm around her, looked back up at the sky and his wife and son nodded. Mileena laid her head back on his shoulder and Scorpion took them both to the Netherrealm.
