Mortal Kombat:demon of the mist

Demon of the mist ch.29
The mysterious guess
Smoke was still not sure if he should trust this man. For one he should the only one in here. Hydro always told him that the mind can only be reach with the one who own it. Which to him impossible for the man to enter in his mind. Not only that but for some reason this person remind of someone but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
“I’m sorry I many post a threat, but I insure you I’m out.” The hood man handled his handout “well we still have some time together before you wake up.”
“Wake up?”
“Yep, this is a mindscape remember? It like a dream that you can always return to look like someone wasn’t pay attention when Hydro taught you.”
Smoke blushed from the comment but he ignored it.
“Well come along. Stand here is a boring thing.” As the hooded man lead Smoke to a weird looking door. It had chain around it and it have a weird looking symbol on it. Smoke also noticed that were some creaks on the door and some near the door. He was about to put his hand on it before the hooded man grab his arm and pull him away from the door.  
“I wouldn’t do that if I was you.”
Smoke pull his arm away then looked back at the door “What is this?”
“Let just say that your ‘bad side of your mind’ and if it’s get out then that would bad you and anyone around you.” Smoke at the hooded man then back to door. He can sense that there something bad behind the door. Smoke nodded in agreement.
“Come along.” Hooded man said in a cheerful voice and lead Smoke into what seem to be a liberty to him. “Sorry for the mess, I was doing resource and man, you really need to read more.” The hooded man pull up a fancy looking chair sat on it. “Please sit.” Smoke really didn’t want to but seeing that this hooded man started not a pose any threat to him.
“Tea? It will help you clear your mind.”
Smoke look at the tea before he took sip. When he did the book that clutter the whole room were now gone. Only one book remain in the room that was in front Smoke.
“Now isn’t that better?” the hooded man said with a happy tone. Smoke ignored him a looked at the book that in front him. For some odd reason he seem draw by it.
“Oh, I see. Do you wish to look at it?” the hooded man gave him a hand gesture to ‘go ahead
Smoke pick up the book, first eyeing it before opening it. To his surprise he saw nothing as the pages are blank.
“What?” Smoke look confess on why there a blank book in is mind.
“Why are you Surprised? That not much there you to see.”  Smoke look up at the man before looking speaking again. “You see Tomas, that book you holding are yours memory or what you know of.”
“But What about the memory I have now. I know I don’t remember who I was before, but what about the memory I have?”
“Whoa! Hold your horse! I was getting to that.” The hooded man then wave his hand over the book to show images Smoke look at the image. All the image move like he was seeing a movie that on it fast speed as it showing all the years Smoke seen. Smoke then noticed that there were blank part between the images.
“The blank part are the time you black out.”
Smoke look up to the hooded man with a confession look “I’m show you this as a warning. Smoke you’re at a time limited. The more you black out the more you use it up.” Smoke was about asked ‘what does he mean by’ that but then noticed that the room was spinning.
“it look like we are out of time for now.” The hooded man then get up from his chair and stand in front of smoke. He then said “I see you soon.”
The next thing Smoke saw was a white light before he sat up in cold sweat. Smoke look around his surrounding to see Sub-Zero next with a worry look on his face.
“W-where am I?” Smoke said His voice was slightly creaked and his noticed his mask was off just like Sub-zero. Smoke was about to get up before Sub-zero stop him.
“Smoke you shouldn’t get so fast.”
Smoke creaked a small smile remembering all the time that he and his brother help him when he got serious injuries. Even though they have to do in secret since showing any kind of kindness is frown in the Lin Kaui.
“I’m fine Kai Lang.” His smile fade when he asked “what happen while I was out?”
“You don’t remember anything?” Sub-zero asked with a worry look on his face. Smoke just shook his head as a response. “Last thing I remember was Sektor and… “Smoke grabbed his head as he try to remember what happen after that but then realized what really happen that. “Is Hydro really…”
Sub-zero just nodded not looking Smoke with shame that he couldn’t do anything to help there poor comrade. Smoke bow his head in shame praying that there friend in a better place than this cruel world.
Smoke look toward to the small group of people who was talking to lord Raiden then he look to over Kabal who was trying to keep Khameleon from looking at his work.
“Smoke, what happen back there? You couldn’t recognize like you did before.” Sub-zero asked his friend with concern in his voice. Smoke didn’t look at him when he told him that. He remember what the hooded man told him before he lifted. ‘Was that was he meant?’
Smoke didn’t look at him feeling a little shame for hurt him but the same time he wasn’t which kind of bother him. Even though the Lin Kaui taught him as cold and emotionless as possible he does feel guilt of what he have done. “I lose control of myself. I’m sorry if I hurt.”
Sub-Zero nodded “you did hurt he just pin me down with your smoke.” Smoke raise an eyebrow in confession. Knowing that he wasn’t able to that on his own.
Sub-zero the turn his attention to the earthrealmer and saw Lord Raiden was heading toward them.
“I see your friend is up. I know that you two probably don’t want help us but I urge you two at least aid us.” Lord Raiden bow in plea. Sub-zero couldn’t tell if he was desperate or not.
“We’ll think about it.”
Sub-zero said sternly then look back at Smoke who was also think what they should do. At first he was thinking about heading back castle to get some answer from Juki. As much as he trust her there are things he don’t get. Like who or what she is because at this point he don’t think she even human. And he still can’t get past this feeling that she know her like something screaming in his soul that it have their answer but he can’t hear it.
“Uh guys?”
Everyone turn their attention towards Kabal who look a little worry but was really hard to tell because of his mask. “As much I want to stay here I need get back to black dragon clan. If they noticed I’m gone they get suspension about me.”
Sonya nodded “We don’t want to lose are only way of knowing what they are up to.” Raiden then open a portal that lead back to black dragon “we wish you luck Kabal”
Kabal left with a peace sign
“Hey Sub-zero, we should also go back to the castle. So I can protect my future husband!” Khameleon said pulling Sub-zero like a child who wanted to go to the store.
Sub-zero nodded then look at Smoke “are you sure you O.K.?”
Smoke nodded “yea, I be alright.”
Sub-zero help Smoke up and told Khameleon that they were about to head back, when everyone hear a noise in forest everyone got into there fighting stance for whatever out there.
