“Just like you to do whatever Quan Chi tells you Noob,” Scorpion taunted the revenant. Noob only laughed it off.

“I do his bidding because I am loyal to the one who resurrected me. You should be the same. After all, he was the one to bring you back after you lost everything,” Noob retaliated. Scorpion felt his anger increasing. The ponies watched the two warriors stare each other down, unable to comprehend what could happen at any moment.

“I am grateful for what he has done, but he betrayed me, and all the trust I had for him when he broke his promise. Now, I have nothing once again. This is my act of vengeance. His precious prize taken from him, right when it was wrongly given to him.”

“You are so weak Scorpion. And here I thought you were better than that. I guess I was wrong. Now then, let’s finish what we started so long ago.” Noob took a fighting stance and chuckled.

“What are you talking about?” Scorpion questioned, truthfully confused.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t figured it out yet.” Scorpion looked at his foe, still confused. “My respect for you is decreasing by the moment Scorpion.”

“Noob, whatever it is you are talking about, it does not matter. There is no need for us to come to blows. I will not fight you. Now here, at least,” Scorpion said. Noob chuckled.

“Will not? Or cannot?” Noob said, cracking a smirk under his mask, as Scorpion’s eyes widened in realization.

“You!” Scorpion shouted, flames bursting at his feet from anger. Even Twilight realized what was going on.

“You’re...” she said, shocked beyond all belief.

“What’s going on Twilight?” Spike asked.

“Noob is Sub Zero, Scorpion’s nemesis,” Twilight explained. The rest of the ponies looked in shock as Scorpion stood there, enraged by the discovery.

The fire burning in Scorpion’s heart was unmatched at this moment. Scorpion’s original nemesis had been rediscovered. He clenched his fists, lighting them up in the fires of his rage.

“So you have shared your past with the ponies. Isn’t that sweet. I’ll be sure to treat them properly once I am finished with you,” Noob taunted, still standing ready to fight.

“You will not touch them!” Scorpion yelled at Noob.

“You even have a soft spot for them. This is truly adorable Scorpion. And now, they shall watch you die by my hands.”

“The only one to die here today will be you! I will tear you apart, and vengeance shall finally be mine!” Scorpion shouted. Noob chuckled once again.

“The only one to gain vengeance today will be me!” he declared, as Scorpion stood ready to fight. The ponies backed away from the two as they were about to do battle, with Scorpion to their left and Noob to their right. They watched in fear as the two specters began their bout.

Fight!

Scorpion immediately sent out his spear. But Noob foresaw this, and jumped into the air and teleported into the air. When he reappeared, he came up from under Scorpion and pulled him through a black hole. When the two reemerged, Noob slammed Scorpion to the ground, finishing his Teleport Slam with a vicious crack of Scorpion’s neck.

Scorpion got back up and used his Flameport attack, sending Noob to the ground. As Noob got back up, Scorpion was right on top of him, hammering Noob with a powerful Brimstone combo attack. As Noob got back to his feet, he shot out a Ghost Ball to the specter, rendering him defenseless. Noob used his Shadow Charge attack, sending out a shadowy doppelgänger to send Scorpion to the ground.

Scorpion kicked back up, but Noob charged at him, crossing over a right hand punch, followed by creating another shadowy double to land a left handed uppercut, and finishing off with a downwards right handed punch. After finishing his Assassinate combo, Noob quickly reacted with a Teleport Smash attack, repeating the same teleport move as before, but dragging Scorpion through more black holes than before.

“Let’s see what you’ve got,” Noob taunted. He threw his arm in the air, creating another double behind Scorpion. Time slowed down and everything turned black and white as the shadowy double grabbed onto Scorpion’s arms.

Noob approached the helpless Scorpion and delivered a powerful punch to Scorpion’s face, cracking both his jaw and his mask. Then, the doppelgänger kneed Scorpion in the back, cracking his ribs. To finish the attack off, Noob delivered a powerful kick to Scorpions gut, causing him to vomit all over Noob’s leg. With his mask broken, the bile was able to cleanly leave Scorpion’s mouth. Noob moved back and chuckled to himself as everything went back to normal.

Scorpion held his injured gut as Noob ran towards his foe. Noob began his attack by sending out his shadow copy to deliver a straight punch to Scorpion’s gut. This was followed by Noob landing a backhand and a downward punch to Scorpion. The Evil Twin combo was finished off with a powerful roundhouse kick. Scorpion simply kicked back up to his feet and sent out his two flaming spears, which successfully connected to the revenant.

“Get over here!” Scorpion shouted, pulling Noob in close. Scorpion used his Blade Overhead attack to send Noob skyward. Before Noob landed, Scorpion used his Gravedigger combo to send Noob through the air, landing with a painful thud. But Noob got to his feet just as Scorpion was jumping towards him. Noob countered Scorpion with his Shadow Upknee attack, knocking Scorpion out of the air.

But Scorpion wasn’t finished just yet. He unleashed his Hell Fire attack beneath Noob, burning the shadowy specter. As Noob was still recovering, Scorpion charged in, delivering a successful Doom Blade combo attack. But just like Scorpion, Noob still had a lot left in him. He got up and managed to land a Spirit Ball on the demon.

“Let’s see if you remember this one, Scorpion.” Noob sent out his doppelgänger once again, and it connected with Scorpion with great force. Time slowed down and everything turned black and white once again.

The shadowy double drove its fist into Scorpion’s gut, clenching it around the demon’s stomach. Scorpion cried out in pain as the copy pulled its fist out and Noob approached Scorpion. Noob took hold of Scorpion’s shoulder and delivered a powerful head-butt, managing to crack Scorpion’s skull. Scorpion fell back to the ground as everything went back to normal.

“Face it Scorpion, you have lost,” Noob taunted. “You have only brought shame and dishonor upon yourself and the name of the Shirai Ryu. And now, like them, you shall perish.” Noob readied himself to finish Scorpion once and for all. But Scorpion got to his feet and stared Noob down with fire in his eyes.

“Never!” Scorpion teleported into the ground and reappeared behind Noob. He slammed his fists into Noob’s torso, and once more, time slowed down and everything went black and white. Before beginning his attack, Scorpion looked to the ring given to him by the ponies. Clenching his fist, he turned to Noob once more.

Scorpion screamed out as he landed a powerful punch to Noob’s jaw, cracking both his mouth and breaking many of his teeth. Scorpion watched as the revenant cried out in pain and fell to the floor on his back. Scorpion walked over to his fallen foe, and unleashed a powerful stomp to Noob’s chest, breaking his ribs. Scorpion flipped backwards as everything went back to normal. Noob was down for the count.

Finish Him!

Scorpion brought Noob back to his feet for the final blow.

“For my clan, and for my family!”

Scorpion pulled out his spear and drove it into Noob’s collar bone, wrapping the chain around his neck. With his victim ready, Scorpion opened a portal behind Noob and kicked him through. Another portal formed in the air, and from it came the skinned Noob Saibot, who was now nothing but a mass of muscle and bone.

Scorpion Wins!
Fatality!

With all his might, Scorpion pulled Noob back through the portals and to the floor. With a loud cry, Scorpion stomped his foot onto Noob’s head, crushing his skull into nothing but mush. Blood splattered all across Scorpion’s right leg, as he stood victorious over his nemesis. Scorpion looked to the sky and let out a loud cry of victory.

Noob Saibot had been defeated, but Scorpion did not fare much better. His armor was broken in many places, ranging from his gauntlets to his sash and chest armor. Along with this, he had large gashes across his body, revealing his cut muscles and broken bones. His mask was cracked, revealing most of his skeletal face. But he did not care, for he had won the battle, and finally, he had avenged his family and clan.

And then he remembered the audience that had been watching the battle. Scorpion turned to see the fearful faces of the ponies and young dragon who had seen the battle in its entirety. Scorpion had nothing to say to them. All he could do was walk away.

“Scorpion, wait!” Twilight shouted to him. He stopped in his place. “Where are you going?” she asked him.

“I… I do not know,” he answered.

“Surely you can’t just leave now,” Rarity chimed in.

“Yeah, not after you totally just destroyed that guy!” Rainbow added, her voice full of excitement. Scorpion turned to see the ponies smiling at him. His wore an expression of confusion.

“I do not understand.”

“Ya may not be the greatest fella around, but ya brought back Celestia’s soul, and you showed yer friend Noob there what for! I gotta say, that was some woopin you gave him!” Applejack cheered.

“You approve of what you just witnessed?” Scorpion asked.

“Your past may be filled with evil deeds Scorpion, but that doesn’t mean you can’t redeem yourself,” Twilight said.

“Yeah! Plus, that fight was awesome! You were like, WOOCHA! And he was like, KATOOWA! It was insanely off the chain!” Pinkie shouted in happiness, causing everyone, including Scorpion to laugh.

“Yeah. Plus, who knows what Noob would have done if you hadn’t stopped him. You practically saved our lives,” Fluttershy added.

Scorpion looked at his admiring friends. At least, if he could call them his friends. He wasn’t so sure at this point. He only hoped that they would trust him once again so that he could see his plan through to the end.

“I thank you all for your praise, but there is still work to be done. That is, if you trust my word,” Scorpion said.

“How could we not?!” Spike said. “You brought back Princess Celestia’s soul, and kicked Noob’s butt to boot! Of course we trust you!” Scorpion nodded his head to them.

“But uh, I gotta ask… what up with your face?” Rainbow asked.

“Yeah! Are you a complete skeleton under that layer of meaty flesh?!” Pinkie asked, realizing afterwards how obvious her question was.

“Only my face is like this. If you wish to see, I can show you,” Scorpion told the ponies and Spike. They all collectively nodded, all except for Twilight, who already knew what he was. But now, she was going to see it for real. Scorpion nodded his head and removed his mask, revealing his fiery skull.

The initial reaction was what he expected. The ponies and Spike were completely shocked by what they saw. It was vicious and evil, and it sent fear through their very souls. Yet, as they continued to observe Scorpion, the ponies and young dragon couldn’t help but admire him. Rainbow was the first to speak.

“That… is… awesome!” she said in excitement. “He’s got a whole fire under his mask! How cool is that?!” The ponies and Spike all nodded in agreement.

“You are not afraid?” Scorpion asked.

“Well, I guess at first we were, but not anymore. We know who you really are Scorpion, and that’s all that matters,” Fluttershy said. Scorpion nodded to them and put his mask back on.

“Shall we return to the matter at hand, or should I say, hoof?” Scorpion said.

“Of course. Let’s get to Celestia’s grave and bring her back. But first…” Twilight said, walking in front of Scorpion. She enveloped him in a coating of magic, lifting him off the ground slightly. In a flash, Scorpion landed back on the ground, fully healed and replenished. The ponies smiled at him, and in return, he nodded to them.

“Alright then everypony, let’s go!” Twilight said.

“Gather around me. I can get us to Canterlot faster,” Scorpion said. The girls and Spike gathered around him. And in a few moments, they all disappeared in a fiery teleport.

Author's Notes:

Was that fight long enough? I think it was. Honestly, I feel it was of the appropriate length for a fight. Figure it involved enough painful moments and gorey stuff. And hey, I finally included a real fatality. If you didn't know, it was the Nether Port fatality. I didn't make the fight any longer because I felt like it would get too tedious, both to write and to read. Plus, writing all of Noob's combos would be a real bitch and a half. So, I hope you all enjoyed what I provided.
