Chapter Text
Chameleon: It's an honor to face you, Liu Kang
Liu Kang: To think Shao had one as respectable as you.
Liu Kang: What is your goal now, Chameleon?
Chameleon: To become the ultimate Champion.
Chameleon: Did you shape my life as well, Liu Kang.
Liu Kang: Actually, I didn't. You did it yourself, Chameleon.
Liu Kang: You aren't doing this for Shao?
Chameleon: He was a means to an end. Nothing more.
Chameleon: You have seen the future of all?
Geras: Except for yours, Chameleon.
Geras: How do you keep your history unknown to time itself?
Chameleon: I don't know, nor do I care.
Chameleon: Your time and sand abilities are worth looking into.
Geras: It will take you eons to understand, Chameleon.
Geras: The mysterious Chameleon, unknown to all of time and space.
Chameleon: I see I've hidden myself too well.
Chameleon: Grandmaster of the Shirai Ryu. A worthy opponent.
Scorpion: We will see whose fire burns brighter.
Scorpion: You inherited my flames?
Chameleon: And improved them with the Netherrealm's depths.
Chameleon: I don't suppose you find me using your line flattering.
Scorpion: Unless you prove yourself worthy of it.
Scorpion: To think you copied both my brother's past and present...
Chameleon: I couldn't pass up the chance.
Chameleon: You've come a long way to find me, Bi-Han.
Sub-Zero: I don't take imitations too kindly.
Sub-Zero: My brothers are weak. So why mimic them?!
Chameleon: Because they are strong. You are just underestimating them.
Chameleon: Your cyromancy is just a breeze to my hellfire.
Sub-Zero: We shall see who is superior, Chameleon.
Sub-Zero: You think you are strong, because you steal others' skills?
Chameleon: And use them fluidly, unlike your cold heart.
Chameleon: Your stealth skills helped keep me hidden. I thank you.
Smoke: I don't know if I should be complimented or concerned.
Smoke: You have my brothers' gifts before, but you also mimicked me. Why?
Chameleon: Because skill is also crucial in Kombat, Tomas.
Chameleon: Let us see who is better at disappearing.
Smoke: Just don't complain if you cough up my smoke.
Smoke: You copied my skills well, Chameleon. But can you best me?
Chameleon: Heh. Let our battle decide that , Smoke.
Chameleon: The High Mage. Shouldn't you be wanted?
Rain: Empress Mileena already gave me another chance.
Rain: How can one warrior mimic the skills of a High Mage?
Chameleon: Centuries of meditation to fortify the mind, Rain.
Chameleon: Your weather manipulation made for perfect escape routes.
Rain: Ugh. No wonder many complained about unnatural weather.
Rain: You could never reach my level of hydromancy, Chameleon.
Chameleon: Not yet anyway, Rain. The future, however, is unknown.
Chameleon: I see you have been smitten, Syzoth. When is the ritual?
Reptile: I, uh, what? Chameleon, it's not like that at all!
Reptile: Chameleon. I see you are still wandering by yourself.
Chameleon: And I won't return to Zaterra, Syzoth.
Chameleon: Congratulations on your position, Ambassador.
Reptile: Coming from you is a great deal, Chameleon.
Reptile: Why did you choose to mimic me? Zaterra has many warriors.
Chameleon: Because neither Zaterrans nor Saurians fight like you, Syzoth.
Chameleon: Empress Mileena, I challenge you to Kombat.
Mileena: It would be wise of you to rethink that choice.
Mileena: You are the Chameleon? How... colorful.
Chameleon: My attire should be the least of your concerns, Empress.
Chameleon: You are brave, Empress, revealing your Tarkat.
Mileena: Hiding is for cowards. You should reflect on that yourself.
Mileena: Who are you? A mercenary sent by Shao?
Chameleon: I am a wanderer, who lives by battling great warriors.
Chameleon: You are the Empress's second-in-command.
Kitana: And no less formidable, Chameleon.
Kitana: How did you sneak past the Umgadi?
Chameleon: They are trained, but not enough, Princess.
Chameleon: Your steel fans are formidable, Princess, but not my style.
Kitana: I assure you, Chameleon, these aren't any less dangerous.
Kitana: I've heard of you. You copied the skills of many others.
Chameleon: I'm flattered you have heard of me, but it won't stop this battle.
Chameleon: Your sonic voice is beautiful, Empress. Not even I could replicate it.
Sindel: Flattery will get you nowhere, Chameleon.
Sindel: So you are the one who abandoned my Empire.
Chameleon: If you weren't so caught up in your grief, you would know why.
Chameleon: You shouldn't expect to win every fight, Sindel.
Sindel: Who are you to lecture me?
Sindel: One of these days, you will answer to me once more.
Chameleon: I serve no master or mistress, and I won't do it again now.
Chameleon: Lead Commander of the Umgadi. You are more formidable than your sisters
Tanya: What did you do to them, Chameleon?!
Tanya: You dare use the name of my trusted Umgadi sister?
Chameleon: I owned the name first, Tanya.
Chameleon: Try as you might, you won't catch me alive.
Tanya: Don't underestimate the Umgadi.
Tanya: You call yourself a warrior, using the hard work of others?
Chameleon: You underestimate the work I had to do to achieve this fluidity.
Chameleon: Sundo's First Constable. Here to catch me, are you?
Li Mei: I am. You can't run forever.
Li Mei: Chameleon, for illegally breaking and entering, you will come with me.
Chameleon: I'll take my chances instead, Li Mei.
Chameleon: Your lack of adaptability is why you can't succeed.
Li Mei: And your tendency to hide is why you'll never be remembered.
Li Mei: You can't escape the law forever, Chameleon.
Chameleon: I have for centuries, Li Mei. I'll evade for another one.
Chameleon: Your student, Shujinko, could learn a lot from me.
Raiden: I will consider your offer, Chameleon.
Raiden: I have a question; why don't you copy everyone's skills?
Chameleon: Because it wouldn't be worth the reward.
Chameleon: From one Champion to another, I challenge you to kombat.
Raiden: I accept. Let us do our very best.
Raiden: Why didn't you come to the Mortal Kombat tournament that day?
Chameleon: I have my personal reasons.
Chameleon: Your ancestor was more humble than you.
Kung Lao: He may have been the Great Kung Lao, but I'm the Greatest.
Kung Lao: I respect your drive to be the best, Chameleon.
Chameleon: Ironic I can't say the same about your pride.
Chameleon: Arrogance leads to tragic fates, Kung Lao.
Kung Lao: Good thing I'm not arrogant. I'm confident.
Kung Lao: I bet you couldn't match my skills.
Chameleon: I could, but a razor hat is impractical to me.
Chameleon: A blinded swordsman. This will be interesting.
Kenshi: I can't say if I should be worried or not.
Kenshi: Sento senses Ermac's essence in you.
Chameleon: I have replicated his skills and powers. It's no surprise.
Chameleon: Do you think your blade can stand up to my potential?
Kenshi: With my guidance, Sento can prevail.
Kenshi: A mimicking ninja? This will be a rough fight.
Chameleon: At least you are honest about it.
Chameleon: For the last time, I don't want to be part of your movies.
Johnny Cage: But come on! You're perfect for at least seven roles!
Johnny Cage: You would be the perfect stuntman. Can I hire you?
Chameleon: I'd rather be anonymous to the public, Cage.
Chameleon: Performing your own stunts is impressive, but I doubt you can handle real combat.
Johnny Cage: Oh yeah? Well, these stunts aren't just for show!
Johnny Cage: Sick outfit! You are like a superpowered task master.
Chameleon: Why do I sense a reference in your words?
Chameleon: A demon who seeks redemption? What you should be looking for is enlightenment.
Ashrah: I like to take one step at a time, Chameleon.
Ashrah: Strange. My Kriss can't sense your evil.
Chameleon: And it will remain as such, Ashrah.
Chameleon: Intriguing. How adept are you at your light magic?
Ashrah: More than enough to remove your shadows, Chameleon.
Ashrah (smiles): So you are the Chameleon. Mind explaining what you said to Syzoth?
Chameleon: Oh, interested? I'll answer after you beat me.
Chameleon: You are the one who killed Syzoth's family?!
Shang Tsung: Indeed I did. And I'll come after yours next.
Shang Tsung: Intriguing. Mimicking without changing completely...
Chameleon: A secret I will bury alongside my grave.
Chameleon: You are selfish, arrogant, and, worst of all, short-sighted.
Shang Tsung: Short-sighted?! I will cut your tongue off!
Shang Tsung: I don't suppose you would be open to a... hiring?
Chameleon: After hearing what you did to Syzoth? I'll pass.
Chameleon: You Vaeternians are as disgusting as I remember.
Nitara: Not as disgusting as your corpse being fed to my tribe.
Nitara: Your abilities will be perfect for breeding.
Chameleon: Unfortunately for you, I'd rather end myself than letting you.
Chameleon: I'm prepared for you as I have doses of powerful Vaeterian poison.
Nitara: Damn you, Chameleon. I will kill you regardless!
Nitara: How about we make a deal? I'll take your blood, and you learn my blood magic.
Chameleon: No deal. I'm not interested in that way.
Chameleon: You are the self-proclaimed Cleric of Chaos? How underwhelming.
Havik: Let's see how underwhelming I am when I rip off your head!
Havik: You can wield chaos, but you don't embrace it?!
Chameleon: I embrace Mortal Kombat. I do not need your beliefs.
Chameleon: You are making a statement with that grotesque face of yours.
Havik: It is a reminder of my oppression!
Havik: You dare mix the freedom of chaos with honor?!
Chameleon: Better than blind and pointless chaos.
Chameleon: For one inflicted with Tarkat, you still stand amongst the best.
Baraka: My infliction won't stop me from protecting my people.
Baraka: Can you mimic Tarkatan abilities, Chameleon?
Chameleon: I could, but it would insult those truly hurt by it.
Chameleon: Do not hold back, Baraka. Show me that fighting spirit of yours.
Baraka: Very well, but don't expect it to be pleasant.
Baraka: So you are the one who brings refugees to my care?
Chameleon: I sympathize with those afflicted with the disease.
Chameleon: Your arrogance cost you your position, General.
General Shao: Yet it has not weakened me, Chameleon.
General Shao: You dare come back after deserting my army?!
Chameleon: Trust me, I don't intend to return to your ranks.
Chameleon: Your strength is almighty, but you are as stiff as a fossil.
General Shao: You dare call me old, Saurian?!
General Shao: You were one of my best warriors. My best men!
Chameleon: Yet your lack of honor is what caused me to leave.
Chameleon: I respect your unending loyalty, Reiko.
Reiko: And I respect your decision to leave, Chameleon.
Reiko: Chameleon, you shouldn't have gotten in my way.
Chameleon: I can't let you go on this suicide mission, Reiko.
Chameleon: Taming Onaga is a near-impossible task.
Reiko: Then I'll gladly throw my life away for it!
Reiko: I see you've grown stronger. Show me what you have!
Chameleon: Very well, Reiko. You are in for many surprises.
