Maybe in the fanfiction, there's a magical or technological accident that swaps their powers for a while. Scorpion has to deal with Sub - Zero's ice powers and vice versa. This leads to a lot of comical and also challenging situations as they try to adapt to the new powers while still facing their usual foes.
For Scorpion x Sub Zero fanfiction, consider a plot where a powerful sorcerer creates illusions that make them see their worst nightmares involving each other. This causes a huge rift between them, but as they start to realize that these are illusions, they join forces to defeat the sorcerer. Another plot could be set in a post - apocalyptic world where they are the last two warriors left. They have to combine their skills to survive and rebuild their world. Also, a story where they are both haunted by the ghosts of their past actions. They meet in a spiritual realm and must confront these ghosts together. Through this shared experience, they develop a new - found respect for each other.
In the fanfiction, Scorpion could start to question his motives of revenge. Sub - Zero's presence and different perspective could make him think about whether his never - ending quest for vengeance is really worth it. Sub - Zero, on the other hand, might learn about the pain that Scorpion has endured which made him so vengeful, and this could change his view of Scorpion from just an enemy to someone with a legitimate cause. This mutual understanding can lead to a great character development arc for both of them.
Maybe there could be a scenario where a common enemy targets both Macgyver and Scorpion. They have to combine their resources and unique talents. The Scorpion team with their super - high IQs figures out the overall strategy, and Macgyver uses his hands - on skills to create the tools they need to take on the bad guys. Like he constructs a makeshift grappling hook from a broken car part and some rope to access an enemy's lair.
One interesting plot idea could be exploring the backstories of the characters in more depth. For example, delving into how they got their powers in this Sub Zero setting. Another could be a new villain emerging and the team having to adapt their fighting styles.
Another plot could be that the OC is an apprentice of an enemy clan. Sub Zero is sent to spy on the clan and meets the OC. The OC is different from the others in the clan, being more kind - hearted. Sub Zero sees this and decides to protect the OC from his own clan's wrath, leading to a complex relationship.
A plot could involve Sub Zero training Female Smoke in some new combat techniques. During the training, they develop a mutual respect and a deep friendship that might turn into something more romantic as the story progresses. In this fanfiction, their different fighting styles and abilities could create some really exciting action scenes.
One idea could be that the Scorpion team is called in to help the Criminal Minds team with a case involving a highly intelligent criminal who is using complex technology to carry out their crimes. For example, the Scorpion team could use their skills to decrypt the criminal's encrypted messages that the Criminal Minds team couldn't crack on their own.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Zero and Kiryu both get cursed by an ancient magic. The curse gives them some of each other's traits while also weakening their own original powers. This forces them to rely on each other more than ever. They go on a quest to find the source of the curse and reverse it. Along the way, they learn about each other's pasts, values, and what really drives them, leading to a deep friendship or respect for one another.
Another plot could involve Ultraman Zero crossing over to a post - apocalyptic Earth. He finds a group of survivors who are fighting against mutated monsters. Zero has to use his powers not only to defeat the monsters but also to help the survivors rebuild their society, teaching them about hope and perseverance.
One idea could be a story where Sub - Zero and Kitana are forced to team up against a new, powerful enemy in Outworld. They start off distrusting each other due to their different loyalties, but as they face challenges together, they begin to respect and rely on one another.
