Scorpion stepped forward and looked down to Lipton. The undead construct of the Netherrealm cocked his head quizzically. It was strange that Lipton had used his old human name, seemingly by choice as opposed to forgetfulness. It seemed that Lipton was indicating he should take care of Sonya.

"Hanzo Hasashi is dead, Carwood Lipton. You should understand by now that I am not a human anymore."

Scorpion thought this was as much explanation as necessary. Lipton should be able to understand hellspawn do not have human wives.

"I will take Sonya Blade to the others. The Earthrealm warriors are due east of here. After I leave Sonya, I will wander Earthrealm once more before the merger is undone and I am sent back to the Netherrealm."

It did not matter to Scorpion what Carwood Lipton and Kung Lao did from here on out.
