The arena’s heat presses down like a physical weight, shimmering the air above the black towers as Scorpion ascends them with terrifying, vengeful speed. His path is cleared not through skill, but through sheer brutality. He stands before Shang Tsung, a wraith carved from rage, deaf to all but the promise of Quan Chi revealing Sub-Zero’s hiding place. As he turns toward the confrontation pit, ready to slaughter the Earth Champion without a moment’s hesitation, his burning eyes lock onto his opponent. The demon halts. His skull-like mask tilts, and for a heartbeat, the hellfire in his gaze flickers with something raw and unfamiliar: genuine confusion.
