Lighting ripped through the sky at odd intervals as the rain poured down into a swirling black ocean. It was a hellish night for a new arrival but luckily this arrival was use to harsh weather conditions. He washed up on shore, coming to on the wet sand just at the shoreline. It was quite a shock considering that when he was last awake Sub-Zero had been on a plane heading for JFK International airport. Did the plane crash? the drenched warrior wondered as he hauled himself to his feet and tried to wipe the water and sand off of his face with little luck. Something had certainly happened and Sub-Zero thought he remembered lightening before passing out.

The groggy feeling in his head didn’t last long for Sub-Zero’s training would not allow such weaknesses to disable him. It one wasn’t always aware of their surroundings then they became an easy target. No one could ever accuse the legendary ninja to be an easy target, not even Scorpion. Of course, Sub-Zero hardly looked like much of a warrior now with his drenched black slacks, heavy wet sweater and shoeless feet. It appeared he had lost his shoes and jacket in the ocean but Sub-Zero hardly gave it a thought. Instead he focused his energy on taking in his surroundings, a hard thing to do considering the storm. Sub-Zero moved out of the water and further onto the sand when his eyes picked out a light up ahead. Once he saw one light others appeared and he steadily moved forward, shielding his eyes from the rain until he could see an outline of buildings.

The warrior was about to head for them when he became aware that he wasn’t alone. Whoever it was hadn’t made any noise or given themselves aware but Sub-Zero could sense their presence and slipped into a easy stance as he turned to see who it was. His arms hung loose at his side, his feet wide apart as Sub-Zero’s dark brown eyes searched through the darkness. Those eyes didn’t stay brown for long as Sub-Zero tapped into his abilities. It was subtle, just a simple gathering of cold air around him but his eyes took on a icy blue hue as the warrior called out.

“I know you’re there. Show yourself!”

"Shang Tsung?" She repeated out loud giving him a curt look as she thought. Whoever Sub-Zero was, she figured he lived in a pretty messed up world too if he was having problems like this. There was always going to be a bad guy and by the sound of it, she figured the guy wasn't very nice. The comment about things being a bit too American looking was dully noted -- she had been trying to think of any places she had ever seen in the Matrix that looked like this.

"I'm afraid my hypothesis on the matter is a bit more complicated then just one guy." She continued as she walked back out the door beckoning him to follow her, she wanted to look about before looking for where the key led her. "I don't think you've ever heard of agents or the matrix have you?"

Sub-Zero's frown deepened at the woman's words. "No, I have not heard of anything called the 'Matrix' and as for agents, I have no idea what you're talking about", the warrior admitted. After a moment's hesitation, he followed her into the other room and looked around. But he wasn't as interested in the room as he was knowing what the woman was talking about. "What is this Matrix you speak of and how does it have to do with any of this?" he added, gesturing at the room. For all appearances, this room was rather average with couches, chairs, a few coffee tables and the odd bookcase or two. It seemed that Trinity and Sub-Zero had come upon the sitting room for the resort, a room didn't provide Sub-Zero with any more answers than the hallway or the lobby had.

"This is ridiculous", he murmured. "Why were we brought to such a mundane place?" It was very unusual for Sub-Zero. On the few occasions he brought somewhere against his will, it was never to place such as a resort. Usually it was dangerous terrains like the Outworld to compete in Mortal Kombat tournaments or to places of extreme climate and dangerous as part of his Lin Kuei training. Before any of the students could even become Lin Kuei warriors they had to survive on their own in either the mountains or the desert, a test to see if they were truly worthy. If Sub-Zero had been left in that situation, he would have understood the purpose but for all appearances this place had no purpose.

All that talking, all that inpatiance was starting to hit a nerve to Trinity. So he was angry and confused, did he assume that she wasn't? Why the hell would she want to be in a resort in the middle of no where- she had a job to do, she needed to find Morpheus, she needed to help Neo...

Neo... she though as a surge of butterfly's took over her stomach, bit she simply just ignored it placing a hand over it making it seem like she was sick or something.

She had a crush on the guy but, well, it wasn't a place to think about this right now, Zub Zero's egocentric personality was pushing her wrong buttons.

"I honestly don't know why we were brought here, I'm more interested with the how."

What good was telling him about the matrix? It wasn't worth the confusion or even the time- he didn't care obviously, and curiosity of a subject could only last so long. "I think the last thing to do is check where the keys lead to."
