Megastory 21.10

 

 

Previously: In an effort to gather the Thirteen Treasures of Rule, the crew of the RLS Legacy broke into groups to collect more treasures faster.

Cracker Jack took Ioz, Cole Young and Spike to get one from a dangerous location. It was a sacrificial cave where people were brought to a demon so that he could eat them.

A livid Ioz attacked the demon with extreme prejudic.

 

 

Blood-raged as Ioz was, the human turned demon Kusaragedo was still too strong for him. Luckly his friends allowed him have his fury run and then let their bullets fly. Even then Kusaragedo met death grudgingly.

“Okay,” Spike said, “That took a lot of bullets.”

“Hope he isn’t faking.” Cole Young quipped.

Ioz put two more rounds into the monster’s head to make sure.

“So was it guarding the treasure or something?” Spike wondered.

“Let’s look around see what we can find.” Cracker Jack suggested.

Nervously, the group spread out. What they didn’t understand is that their small victory gave way to something worse.

Beyond Kusaragedo was a portal. The sacrifices to Kusaragedo kept him there. Kusaragedo’s presence kept the portal closed. Now that the human turned demon was dead, the portal to hell was opened and a true demons was released.

Cracker Jack caught a glimpse and shouted a warning to Spike just as the entity struck.

Spike had been armored up with his overgrown bones so when has hit it simply knocked him over. But his attacker was relentless. It stabbed at him with a scorpion-like tail until the others opened fire.

“What the hell is that?” Cracker Jack exclaimed.

“You already asked that about the last one!” Ioz barked.

At first it looked like the bullets were about to put the creature down. It jerked and twitched in reaction to the penetration but then it healed and

stamped forward.

No less than three people cursed.

“I think we better get out of here.” Spike suggested.

“Second!” Ioz agreed.

“What about the treasure?” Cole tried to glance at them but the demon’s perpetual approached couldn’t be ignored.

“I don’t think it’s here.” Spike guess.

“I don’t think this thing is going to let us go!” Cole told the others. “I’ll hold it off!” Maybe the treasure is beyond it!”

“Not on my watch buddy!” Cracker Jack objected.

“Let me do this! I have the best chance!”

“Don’t take it personally,” Spike said. “But I think I have the best chance against this thing.” He armored himself up with even more overgrown bones.

“I’m not leaving you alone with this thing.” Cole argued. “I think it can get through your bones with enough time.”

“It shouldn’t get that much time as long as you hurry up!”

The argument said a lot about who Cole Young was. An American fighter on a level people only hear about. Captain Amelia discovered him in a fight club trying to carve out a living. She had seen his reluctance to truly hurt his opponents when he clearly could. The man was hiding from something.

Captain Amelia invited him to travel with her and he bonded with the crew. He kept his cards close to his chest but he wasn’t the only one running from something and everybody respected that.

Beyond all that, understanding the fallacy of coming here and leaving without even checking helped Cracker Jack decided on what to do.

“Cole and Spike! Hold this thing off! Ioz and Danny! Let’s go around and see if we can find the treasure. Hurry up!”
No sooner than Cracker Jack’s group went away did the Hellknight demon magically summon a pair of hideous axes. It’s powerful swings knocked Spike off of his feet and he lay stunned.

“Okay buddy.” Cole said through gritted teeth. “It’s just you and me.”

 

Fight Parameters:

 

Cole Young battles Hellknight.

 

Spike is stunned and won’t be able to help.

 

Hellknight is out for the kill.

 

Cole Young will try to kill Hellknght but will settle for the others coming back and they retreat. Hellknight will go after them anyway so he’ll have to be dealt with.

Not really a fun of Cole Young, he was put in a movie to act as a character trope but it's as if the filmmakers forgot Johnny Cage serves the role of exposition dumpee. He did beat Goro, though. That cannot be understated. He should have this as well.

They could have put him in the new game to make him relevant but then that would require changing his story and stuff. It's just a mess.

Good set-up, leroy. I haven't seen the recent MK film yet, but this seems to give a pretty good feel for Cole as a character, IMO. 

As for the match, if Cole can beat Goro (who can tangle with gods), he could probably handle a minor demon in this Hell Knight dude.

Yeah I really don’t get why they didn’t just have Johnny Cage in the movie, there was zero reason to replace him with Cole.

Haven't seen it but my only guess would be because they wanted an audience insert to learn about the world that wasn't an already existing character. Doesn't always work very well but it is used over and over again.
