MKHS Bonus Non-Canon Chapter That You're Going to STFU and Read
Community Service
Sub-Zero had just exited the guidance department, having had a conversation with his guidance counselor, Raiden. He was looking pretty glum, his feelings noticed by his best friend Smoke. The grey ninja walked over to him in concern, placing a hand on his shoulder to get his attention. "What's wrong, Sub? You're looking down today."
"Turns out I have some more work to do on top of all this schoolwork. Mr. Raiden told me all about it, that I really needed to start stacking up good things for the future. And by that...I mean....community service."
"Community service? Hey man, I know it sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do. High School is full of fun experiences and all that usual stuff but you have to work hard too. I know I sound like a teacher or someone like that, but it's the truth."
Sub-Zero looked over at Smoke, nodding his head and standing up straight. "You're right, Smoke. And I bet I can make this community service a unique experience. I heard the school store needs new management." Sub-Zero fist-bumped Smoke before departing to the main office to apply for the volunteer work.
[The Next Day]
Sub-Zero had set up shot in the main lobby, being surrounded by materials and for the cafe portion, his own cooler brought from home along with all kinds of frozen treats. He smiled at his accomplishment, sitting back in his chair with his feet up on the counter when suddenly, he heard some grunting across the hallway. Sub-Zero got up from his chair, seeing a yellow stand being pushed into the space across from him with the title, "Scorpion's Inferno." The Lin Kuei ninja clenched his fist, knowing exactly what was happening.
Sub-Zero looked over to see his rival, Scorpion, setting up his own school store and snack shack when suddenly the Shirai Ryu ninja caught glance of him. "Well, well, well. Look who decided to work for the school, and sell piles of frozen dog shit to all our good students."
"Quiet!" Sub-Zero shouted, "Like yours is any better. What the hell do you have to sell?"
"All kinds of delicious foods! The spiciest you can get and all these erasers and pens are spawned from the Netherrealm itself!"
"What are you trying to do?! Kill the whole damn student body?!"
"No! I'm selling them the good shit! You watch! My profits are going to break through the goddamn roof!"
Sub-Zero just scowled at him, sitting back in his chair when suddenly, the school bell for student entry rang, the front doors swinging open as the student body entered. Sub-Zero checked his phone to see that his girlfriend princess Kitana had texted him. He smiled and starting texting back when suddenly Scorpion shouted from across the way.
"You still going out with that slut, Sub-Queerbo? How many guys has she been ****ed by? I lost count last year."
Sub-Zero took a deep breath, containing his anger when suddenly, someone approached Scorpion's stand. Sub-Zero couldn't make out who it was, being camouflaged by the crowd of students. He tried to take a closer look but their identity was given away when he heard them say, "Scorpion!!! I made this teddy for you!"
"GODDAMMIT *****! FOR THE LAST ****ING TIME, I HATE TEDDIES!"
"But this one's different! It talks! It has a string and everything!"
"Mileena..." Sub-Zero said to himself. "My girlfriend can't stand her. No one can. Except Baraka of course and even she sometimes gets under his skin. How did she even make it to High School? She treats it like elementary. She treats everything like elementary."
Sub-Zero's eyes were then suddenly covered by a pair of soft hands, followed by a calm voice saying, "Guess who."
"Kitana? Of course!"
The beautiful Edenian Princess giggled, wrapping her arms around Sub-Zero. "So you're working for the school now? Volunteer work right? It's so cold back here! How much ice cream do you have in that cooler?"
"I overstocked didn't I? I guess I just like to be prepared. That douchebag's stand over there might just melt most of my inventory."
Kitana sniffed the air, smelling a huge scent of spices flowing from Scorpion's stand. She immediately squinted and covered her nose, coughing a little. "Oh my god! You can smell all of it from here! I think he's going to need to hand out waivers to his customers if he expects them to shop there."
Sub-Zero let out a hearty laugh, patting Kitana on the back when suddenly, he got a costume. "Hold on Kitana, hall monitor is here."
The school hall monitor, Stryker showed up at Sub-Zero's stand, twirling a pair of handcuffs around his finger. "You got a permit for this, buddy?"
"Permit? No. This is a school store. I'm putting in volunteer hours..."
"As far as I'm concerned, you need a permit to sell items in a school, especially if you're a student." Stryker pulled out his notepad, filling out a detention slip.
"Stryker! C'mon man! You can't be serious."
"Serious as a heart attack, buddy." Stryker licked his finger before grabbing the page and ripping it out, slapping it onto the counter of Sub-Zero's stand. "Have a good day, kid."
