Kat: Sub-Zero, you don't need the cloak now. You're already walking with one of the mastermind's sworn enemies.

Sub-Zero: You have a point.

(He ditches the cloak.)

Sub-Zero: So where did you last see the others?

Kat: Last I saw Ethan, he was heading into a forest of ice pillars. No idea where the others went though after I left, but since I at least know where Ethan was heading, it's a place to start.

Sub-Zero: That's only a couple hours from here. Now remember, there could still be other combatants to face on the way. If we run into any trouble, you must do what I say.

Kat: Sure.

(They head into the wasteland to search for the others.) (Kat and Sub-Zero continue across the snow.)

Sub-Zero: I must admit, I am quite flattered that I am your favorite MK character.

Kat: I've always liked using ice powers in video games. So fragile, yet so powerful.

Sub-Zero: That fragile nature is what makes ice so underestimated. In some forms, yes. It will certainly shatter without effort. However, ice is only as fragile as the one who wields it.

Kat: Meaning I'm strong enough, ice's fragility won'e even matter.

Sub-Zero: Correct.

(Just then, they hear a noise coming from behind them. They both turn, powers at the ready, and come face to face with the boxer Balrog.)

Balrog: Ah, fresh meat. We all knew you were a traitor to the mastermind, Sub-Zero.

Sub-Zero: Kat, I want this one to just be me and him. Pay attention, and watch what I do. Sometimes, one must witness the action before they take part. (Kat watches as Sub-Zero battles Balrog, all while making sure she paid attention to Subby's moves.)

Kat: I had forgotten he could teleport like that.

(She smiles when Sub-Zero uses his ice statue technique to freeze Balrog solid. Then she shivers, not from the cold, when he uses his famous Fatality and pulls Balrog's skull and spine out.)

Kat: I don't have to learn to do that last part, do I?

Sub-Zero: You don't have to if you don't want to.

Kat: How do you manage to do that on a regular basis and still be sane?

Sub-Zero: Most people I come across deserve it.

(Later, the come across the forest of ice pillars from earlier.)

Sub-Zero: You saw one of your friends go in there?

Kat: Yep.

(They go into the ice pillar forest.) (Kat and Sub-Zero reach the lake that Ethan and Jordan were at earlier, just to clear that they're at the lake in the winter zone.)

Sub-Zero: The water has already frozen back over, but you can tell by the indentations that the ice had recently been broken through.

(They notice a light coming through the ice.)

Kat: Only one way to find out what that is, I guess.

(She and Sub-Zero create ice hammers, which they then use to break the ice on the lake. Once that's done, they jump in and swim towards the source of the light.)
