What's next?
The fight ends
The three of them run forward, and Mileena goes straight for Thalzor
Mileena: You're mine
Thalzor throws a punch, but Mileena teleports away before it hits
Thalzor: Clever.
Tifa reaches your unconscious body and checks your pulse
Tifa: Oh, thank the goddess, I'll get you out of here
Thalzor: I don't think so; I'm not letting him get away
Thalzor immediately appears above Tifa and you

Mileena teleports onto Thalzor's back and sinks her cursed teeth into his neck, which gives Tifa just enough time to push the both of you away enough so he misses
Thalzor: This was your plan
Mileena: How are you still walking? I bit down on your spine
Thalzor: You might be able to draw blood, but you can't hurt me, Origin Demons don't have nerves or bones for you to hurt
Kitana: Mother, we must go
Sindel: I will not run, not when Mileena is fighting
Thalzor releases a force of mana, sending Mileena flying off, and then, before Sindel even sees it coming he hits Kitana in the stomach, sending her flying against the wall
Thalzor: And then there is one
Tifa: NO
Tifa is also hit in the stomach before she reacts
Thalzor: Now then
He grabs Sindel by the throat
Thalzor: Swear loyalty to the demon queen
Sindel: NEVER
Thalzor: Yes, you will. A trip to the demon queen will make you change your mind.
Mileena: TAKE ME
Thalzor: Huh
Thalzor lets go of Sindel and walks to Mileena
Thalzor: What do you mean
Mileena: I will inherit the throne, so I too have a worth for the demon queen
Thalzor: Not as long as your mother is empress. You are brave to offer yourself, but this is not a deal I can make
?: WAIT A MOMENT
A demonic orb flies down from a hole in the ceiling, and Thalzor immediately bows
Thalzor: My queen!
The orb starts to project a magic image, Mileena sees a woman in the shadows sitting on a throne, with the only things sticking out being those pure red eyes

Demon Queen: Come forward, Princess
Mileena walks towards the magic image
Demon Queen: Let me get this straight, you'll come willingly to my empire, and even to save your mother and her kingdom
Mileena: Yes, I'll even join your forces if it's to protect Edenia, to protect my father's home; I swear it on his soul
Sindel: Mileena
Demon Queen: Thalzor my friend, can she be trusted
Thalzor: She seems very loyal, she went to meet me on the battlefield with the rest of the ones carrying the curse
Demon Queen: I see. You have a good heart, and it pains me to see that pretty face of yours having been defiled
Demon Queen: I don't need Ednia yet; it was just convenient when that fool Shao contacted us. You joining us will make it part of my territories once you become empress
Demon Queen: I accept your proposition if you accept my additional terms
Mileena: Which are
Demon Queen: Empress Sindel, could you come here
Sindel: What
Demon Queen: No need to be so hateful. Your daughter just saved you, you should be proud. Since you know you can't win this fight, make it official that Mileena will be your heir, that my first term
Mileena: and the others
Demon Queen: The corrupted that are still alive will come with you to my kingdom, they just like you have my blood running through their veins. They will suffer if they stay in Edenia
Mileena: Is that all
Demon Queen: No, you will allow Thalzor to retrieve the dead bodies of my people, this includes poor Reaper, the demonic flying beasts, and the cursed ones that have fallen
Demon Queen: And one more thing, I've been watching all the battles, there is a reason that the curse hasn't spread as much with you as the rest, how
Mileena: Because of him
Mileena points at Cloud, who is cowering against the wall
Mileena: he infected me, and his blood was able to halt the curse's corruption
Demon Queen: Interesting, I have some ideas on how that's possible
Thalzor: Could he be a descendant of the holy nights
Demon Queen: That is what I think, we'll be taking him with you too
Demon Queen: Those are my terms. Do you agree
Mileena: I
Sindel: NO, I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE MY DAUGHTER
Mileena: MOM! I need to do this. I'm finally doing what you wanted, fighting for our people, this is the only way. Let me do this, let me make you proud
Mileena is shocked when she sees tears coming out of Sindel's eyes
Mileena: You're crying
Sindel: I've always been proud of you Mileena. I just didn't want you to make the same mistakes I did, that's why I was so hard on you
Demon Queen: So do you agree
Mileena: I agree to your terms
Thalzor: What about the corrupter
The orb moves to your unconscious body so she can look at you
Demon Queen: You poor fool, you're just another toy of that bitch the goddess. I pity you
Demon Queen: We'll leave him be for now
Thalzor: Are you sure
Demon Queen: he has already made it further than most of the previous corrupters, so he's able to keep that bitch from getting bored of this world, so we might as well let him continue, at least until we meet him again
Demon Queen: One more thing Sindel. If I find out you made your other daughter heir to the throne, I will send Thalzor back here and make him burn this entire city to the ground. Do I make myself clear
Sidnel: Yes
Demon Queen: Good
The Demon Queen snaps her fingers, and a shockwave goes off
Mileena: What did you just do
Demon Queen: I snapped the cursed ones out of the trance that Thalzor put them under; they're back in control of their own bodies. You can tell them yourselves where they'll be going
Demon Queen: This orb will create a portal home in an hour at the main gate, don't be late
The magic image of the demon queen disappears
Thalzor: I will give time to say goodbye, don't be late
Thalzor walks to Cloud
Cloud: NO, STAY AWAY
Thalzor: SHUT UP
He knocks out Cloud with a single punch and picks him up with one hand before picking up Reaper's severed head
Thalzor: We'll be home soon brother. I'll give you a proper funeral
. As Thalzor walks past your unconscious body, he looks down at you
Thalzor: Next time we meet, I will kill you
