Mortal Kombat 1 x reader: Prolouge

The screen shows a dark void where sand drops through the neck of an hourglass into a heaped pile. the camera focuses on a single slow-falling grain of sand that bursts into a cosmic light. The light pulses and myriad galaxy clusters resolve in an abyss. the camera passes the many galaxies to focus on one galaxy as it spirals radiantly in the dark.

"Having liberated the Hourglass and become Keeper of Time, my next task was to restart history" Liu Kang's voice echoed out as the camera dove into the Galaxy through its clouds, to the asteroid belt around its solar system, and past a planet or molten rock "Not beholden to past events, I was free to craft a new era. It was with humility and restraint that I approached this blank canvas. After careful preparation, I began work. Painting over the darkness"

The black screen soon had multiple small bursts of light across the screen, then stars as it slowly descended onto the earth's atmosphere horizon where the sun shone in the center of the horizon "After eons passed, I sketched out the realms. After eons more, I brushed them in with life"

the camera soon zooms in on the earth revealing the clouds "In my new era, all beings will have the opportunity to find peace. Whether or not they do, will be their responsibility. For my power only permits me to begin this endeavor. It is the duty of mortals to finish it" The camera flies through the clouds, past them to the landscape below through the mountains to an open land where a lake lays with a statue of two dragons intertwined in the center in the distance. the title appears on the screen

Mortal Kombat 1

The screen fades into black.

The scene opens on a dreary, rainy day as (Name) stands in her empty bedroom packing the last of her belongings. Five years ago, in this world at least, she had been an eager, optimistic young woman. But the events of her last involvement in the Mortal Kombat universe had taken their toll on her and now she was a bitter, stubborn, and hostile woman who had seen far too much. With no family left in the world, (Name) decided to move away and put the past behind her.

As the rain continued to pour outside (Name) packed away her possessions, lost in thought. Her mind was filled with the memories of her life before, both the good and the bad. She had loved and been loved by her friends, by her loves and her daughter, laughed and cried with them through the victories and the loss, and seen dreams come true. But she had also seen heartache and sorrow, The death of Mileena cracked her heart, and the death of Hanzo fractured her soul but her daughter, Calithea, dying in her arms was what truly broke her. The image of her turning to sand in her hands is something she can never forget and never forgive. Logically, in the back of her mind, she knew Liu Kang had to do it but that was snuffed out instantly as she remembered how she begged and pleaded with him to stop but he didn't even look at her nor did he even hesitate to continue. She could never forgive him for what he had done. She couldn't even grieve properly, She couldn't just go to a therapist or vent to anyone because in her world it never happened, and if she did she would have been called insane and thrown in an asylum. The best she could do was go to a doctor for anti-depressants which barely did anything.

Having no person to unburden her emotions too, (Name) was left to suffer such tragedy all on her own. Even though she was sent back to her world she still carried that same pain with her. Everywhere she went, she could still hear Calithea's cries for her.

(Name) sighed as she placed the last photo frame in her box before taping it up. Even though when she was sent back to her world she went from being 28 to 20 years old the same age as when she left. She was now 24 with a 30-year-old mind. She stands back up looking around to see if she missed anything giving the viewer a good look at her.

She had long (hair colour) hair at tailbone length tied into a bun, a white singlet that hugged her curves, an orange oversized flannel, blue denim jeans, brown lace-up combat boots, and a brown hobo crossbody bag containing her Phone, its charger, her wallet, some gum, wireless earbuds, and her anti-depressants that she received from her doctor.

Physically she didn't look that much different from her 20-year-old self apart from the dull look in her eyes and the neutral expression she wears permanently. many of her old neighbors worried for her since she used to be so bright and cheerful and wondered what changed her into the woman she is now.

She sighs putting the box to the side and looking at how empty the room is. Over the 4 years, she had gotten rid of anything that reminded her of the world she once lived in and avoided anything Mortal Kombat-related. She sighs as she picks up her bag and pulls out her phone, checking the weather, to see if the rain won't be letting up. She looked so tired as she glanced at the window realising the rain wouldn't stop till tomorrow. Everything she owned was sent to her new apartment apart from a few things leaving only her wide-flat screen TV, her PS5 plugged in, a Collectors edition box, The art book for the game, and one unopened game out with a note on it. Though she hated the Mortal Kombat franchise the company sent her a test game of the latest one.

Mortal Kombat 1

"Fucking idiots" She grumbled walking over to the unopened game picking it up, with a scowl, and reading the note. It was a small printed note new Roman times print.

She sighed agitated "I only agreed to do it because I needed the money," She said as she sat on the floor she opened the case and took out the disk. She slipped it into the PS5 slot picked up the remote and turned the TV on "Let's get this over with" she muttered as she set it up to download the game. While she waited she picked up the art book for the game, That they sent to her exclusively, looked through the concepts of the game, and looked at the different locations. after about 2 and a half hours she watched the title screen roll in "Finally" She said closing the book and picking up the controller ready to play.

2 hours later

"WHAT THE FUCK DID HE DO TO THE TIMELINE!?"

(Name) looked at the game in shock. She had started with the tower stories rather than the actual story mode. So far she got the gist of some things.

Kuai Liang was a scorpion and was going to marry Harumi, Hanzo was a 15-year-old boy, Sindel was going to die, Lie mei was a kombatant again, Shao Kahn was alive, Mileena and Kitana were twins, Tanya and Mileena in a secret relationship? (Name) groaned pinching the bridge of her nose and closing her eyes in frustration "Jesus Christ Liu Kang...making the timeline a reboot" She said before dropping her hand from her nose as she looked up at the roster for the next ladder. It didn't hurt her that Mileena was with Tanya if anything She felt slightly happy that her former love found her happiness. Her eyes soften "Well done, Beautiful" She whispered.

"Alright. Who's next?" She says as she flits around the screen when she finally lands on Geras selects his character and uses Sub-Zero as the cameo. His first opponent is Kitana and Scorpion. (Name) waits for the signal to fight when the intros are finished the words fight appear on the screen. She goes to move Geras but nothing happens "...What the..." She mumbles and fiddles with the controller. The strange thing is Kitana isn't moving either just standing there. (Name) grows frustrated "Come on Gera! move!" She shouts as thunder sounds off outside the window causing a flash of light across the dark room...When Geras moves.

Facing her.

(Name) is confused seeing him fully face her, as Kitana disappears, and the camera places him at the center of the screen. He places his hands behind his back "My apologies, Lady (Name), for interrupting your work" He states. (Name)'s jaw drops "How is this..." She muttered unaware of the sand slowly sifting across the floor behind her "We do not have much time. I am sorry for this, My Lady" He said looking ashamed confusing (Name) further "What are you-?!" She is interrupted by the sand behind her whipping around her room like a storm causing her to cross her arms over to cover her eyes as her braids flay erratically around in the storm as does her bag and flannel. The camera moves to her feet as they turn to sand and quickly moves up her body soon covering her. The sand formed a tornado around her before the top of it darted towards the TV pulling her in along with it.

Once the storm subsided all that was left behind was some sand on the ground before the screen faded to black

"Forgive me, My Lady...But this universe needs you now more than ever"

The scene changes to the sun that had yet to come up over the horizon, giving the landscape an eerie and missed hue. The sky was still painted various shades of navy blue and silver, fading out into the darkness of night underneath the stars. The air was still and silent as the village of Fengjian lay – untouched by any sound – just the idyllic meadows, the few tall trees, and the distant rolling hills.

(Name) was lying unconscious on the ground, on her back, with her bag around her. She stirred awake as the sunlight hit her closed eyes, making them flutter open. She briefly opens them before squeezing them shut and slowly sitting up holding her head with one hand while using the other to prop herself up groaning in pain "Ooooh...my head..." She said trying to open her eyes. Once she does she quickly takes notice of where she is. She looks around the vast land where she sees nearly nothing but rolling hills and flat fields for farming. She sees buildings in the distance and notices some of them look familiar "...no..." She mutters as she staggers to her feet and stumbles forward a bit recognising the biggest building.

The Fengjian teahouse.

Her eyes go from shocked to angry in a matter of seconds, her teeth gritted "You've got to be FUCKING KIDDING ME!" She yelled in anger. She couldn't believe that she was back in the same universe that had caused her so much pain. The tears started to flow, and she felt her chest constrict with emotion. She had been through this universe before, and the memories of the pain it had caused her came flooding back in a wave of agony. She felt so powerless, so helpless, and her anger grew with each passing second.

She couldn't believe she had been brought back here. It was like a cruel joke, a punishment for something she hadn't even done. She wanted to lash out, to fight back, to do something to make it all go away, but there was nothing she could do. She slowly started to calm down and wipe her tears.

"My goodness. Why are you crying, Young lady?"

(Name) turned her head to face who spoke to her. There stood an old woman wearing a slightly dulled pink and purple long-sleeved qipao dress, with embroidered sleeves, a purple sash around her waist, brown pants underneath, white sneakers, and a cigarette packet sticking up out of the sash a bit. her face showed many wrinkles indicating her age was somewhere in the 70s or even 80s, her hair grey pulled back into a neat and flower-like bun held together with a blue flower hairpin and a kind smile.

Understanding that the woman who stood beside her was the character Madam Bo was a shock and it truly showed "Well?" Madam Bo asked "I...I um...I'm sorry..."(Name) said looking down ashamed "I'm just lost, ma'am, I've-" "I can see that. Not many people walk around dressed like that unless they're from out of the country" Madam Bo interrupted gesturing to (Name)'s clothes and making her look down with a frown "You new or something?" (Name) looked at Madam Bo "Something like that" She replied bending down and picking up her bag to sling it across her body. She dug through it and checked her phone to see if it was working still, thankfully it still worked causing a sigh of relief to escape her. She turned to Madam Bo "Thank you for checking on me but I better get going...I need to find a way to..." (Name) trailed off shaking her head before beginning to walk away.

"I would expect nothing less from you, Viper"

(Name) stopped in her tracks before slowly looking back at, the now smirking, Madam Bo ".....How do you know that name?" She whispered. Madam Bo simply chuckled and walked past her smiling after walking a few feet ahead she turned back to (Name) "Well? follow and find out" She said and continued walking having (Name) quickly stumble to catch up to her.

The scene changes to Madam Bo and (Name) sitting at a table in the teahouse with two cups of hot tea and a large book on the table while her bag hangs on the back of the chair. The Tea House is Fengjian's heart and soul. Villagers gather here to relax, gossip, and enjoy Madam Bo's homestyle cookery. Whether you're starting your day, or winding down at night, the Tea House has a special blend made just for you. (Name) takes the cup of tea thanking Madam Bo "You called me Viper. How exactly do you know that name? Or how you know that name belonged to me?" She asked. Madam Bo smiled "Looks like you don't even know who YOU are, my dear" She replied as she opened the large book to a marked page before sliding across the table to (Name). The old thick book was a large, rectangular object, bound in brown leather. Its pages were yellowed with age, and some were starting to come loose. The edges of the pages were worn from the thousands of times they had been read and consulted. Its spine was creased, as if its old, leather cover had been opened and closed countless times. Splashed across its exterior was a maroon pattern, which only added to its aged look. If one were to look closely, one would notice small imperfections, like dented corners, which further attested to its years of use. She looked down at the book in confusion then shock.

The book depicted her as some kind of legend. It described her to be a fierce warrior of truth and justice who would use her flames to snuff out those who would harm others for their selfish gain but would shelter those who were in need. The legend for her was that she disappeared one day never to be seen again. On the left side of the book were two paintings of her. In one of them, her hair was pulled back into a braid with a gold ribbon running through it, an orange-colored tunic underneath a gold breast/torso plate, gold wrist guards, burgundy long pants, brown boots with gold thigh guards, one-hand raised holding a ball of fire, looking at it with anger, while the other leaning on a large sword. The other one right was of her wearing an off-shoulder orange crop bra with a gold band under the bust holding an amber gem in its center, her long skirt ombres from orange to cream with deep orange clothes wrapped around her hips similar to ancient Egyptians, gold armlets and wrist guards with a silk cream colored material on both arms connected, a gold intricate collar and a light orange lily tucked behind her ear. Her long (hair colour) hair is loose and reaching the floor as she holds a ball of embers in one raised hand smiling softly at it.

(Name) was in shock and confusion at the picture and looks back at Madam Bo, who gives her a knowing smile, confused even more "I...I don't understand...how am I a part of this..." She held her tongue from saying timeline making Madem Bo believe she was at a loss for words causing her to chuckle "Your legacy has been around since before the time of the great Kung Lao, my dear, crafted into the very walls of shaolin minds and history. The name everyone hears when they see this image? Viper" She says lighting a cigarette "This doesn't make sense though. I'm not Viper...not anymore" (Name) says sadly looking away. Madam Bo looked at her for a few moments and inhaled her cigarette before exhaling "Well then...If you're not Viper anymore what do I call you?" She asked "(Name)...just (Name)" (Name) replied looking back up at her "Alright (Name). I am Madam Bo" "It's a pleasure to meet you, Madam Bo...you said the shaolin know about me?"

Madame Bo nods "Indeed as do a few other cultures. Not sure how many exactly but a few at least. Each one depicts you differently but always with the same face" "Wow" Madam Bo smirks "We have a lot to talk about, My dear"

The scene changes to the morning light streaming into an old dusty room and the dust particles glowed in the air like fireflies. It was the bedroom of an old teahouse, and the furniture was a testament to the rural Chinese designs of the past.

In the corner of the room, there was a wooden bed that was almost a century old. It was made with a dark lacquered finish. The headboard of the bed was a simple design with little child drawings carved into it. On the bed was a quilt made of cotton, and it was the color of sand.

On the opposite wall of the bed was a wooden armoire. The armoire was painted in a bright red color, and its doors were adorned with intricate designs of cranes and bamboo. Inside the armoire were several shelves and drawers, filled with clothing and other items.

In the center of the room was a black lacquered table. The table was of a unique design, its legs were curved elegantly, and its surface was painted with a pattern of white and gold. On the table was a vase filled with fresh flowers, and several teacups filled with tea.

On the wall opposite the table was a large mirror. The frame of the mirror was made of dark lacquered wood, and it was intricately carved with scenes of nature. There were several shelves beneath the mirror, and on them were several items of clothing and other decorations.

On the wall next to the armoire was a painting of a rural Chinese landscape. The painting was done in a traditional style, and it depicted a tranquil scene. The colors were vibrant, and the detail was exquisite.

The room was filled with many other items, all of which were made in the old rural Chinese style. There were several lamps, which were made of brass and glass, and they cast a soft glow throughout the room. There were also several wooden chairs, and they were covered in embroidered cushions.

The walls of the bedroom were adorned with many paintings and tapestries. The paintings depicted scenes of rural Chinese life, and the tapestries were of the same style. The colors were bright and vivid, and they were a reminder of the old days.

The room was filled with a sense of nostalgia, and it was easy to imagine the people who used to occupy this room. The furniture was worn, but still beautiful, and it was a testament to the skill of the people who crafted it. The room was a reminder of the beauty of rural China, and it was a place of peace and tranquility. Madam Bo and (Name) stepped into the room "This is where you will be staying, my dear, it's been many years since someone has occupied this room" She said as she began to walk out "Thank you, Madam Bo" (Name) said smiling softly and placing her bag on the dusty bed.

(Name) is left with her thoughts as she sits on the bed. She looks down at her hands going through her memories as to how this had happened "Geras....why did you bring me into this?" She whispered to herself.

The scene changes to what seems to be a few days later (Name) isn't one to talk to anyone. where she had once been someone happy to talk to anyone now she preferred the solitude and quiet of her loneliness. It wasn't that she couldn't talk to anyone it was that she didn't want to get attached to anyone only to lose them. No smile was ever present on her face and if there was one it was out of politeness. Never out of joy.

As she strolled through the teahouse, the smell of nutmeg, pepper, and cinnamon aromas filled the air. (Name)'s ears perked up as she heard the faint sound of a raised voice - it was coming from the kitchen. She stopped and listened more closely, attempting to understand just what was driving the commotion.

(Name) ducked her head around the corner and spotted two flustered cooks, one of them with their hair all askew and their faces flush. It didn't take a genius to figure out what was happening. The stove, close to the center of the kitchen, had gone kaput and wouldn't light up.

The first of the two cooks was a slim man with jet-black hair that hung over his forehead. He had sharp, almond-shaped eyes that sparkled with a spark of creativity, and a slightly crooked nose that hinted at an interesting backstory. He was dressed in a crisp, spotless white chef’s coat with black buttons, dark trousers, and spotless safety shoes. To complete the ensemble, he had a white cook’s apron around his waist.

The second cook was a bigger man, but he was also tall and muscularly built. He had a rounder face, and his head was shaved close. He wore an identical chef’s coat to the first cook, but his trousers had thick white stripes down the sides. To finish his uniform, he wore a pair of heavy-looking black boots.

The large stove, in question, looks aged and impressive, standing at about the same height as a person and spanning six square feet in width and length. Its upper surface is covered in ornate blue embossed tile framed in black metal which gives it a unique appearance. Its sides are decorated with intricate designs, from swirling dragons to blooming lotus flowers, all highlighted with small bits of colorful ceramic.

The stove has two large central openings accessible from both sides and two smaller ones at the back. They are each covered by elaborately designed metal covers. The edges of the stove are made of sturdy iron and each one is detailed with beautiful etchings along each side. There are two large trays located at the front and back of the stove and within each tray are individual removable metal bowls which are used to cook a variety of dishes.

The stove is powered by a large wood or charcoal-filled fire bowl housed underneath. The fire is controlled by two large handles located on either side of the stove. Also underneath, two metal racks act as shelves, helping to contain the heat during cooking.

(Name) stepped closer but hesitated questioning herself if was she overstepping her boundaries or being too intrusive. But she quickly squashed these thoughts, opting to help instead. She cleared her throat and made her presence known "Hey...Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked a bit nervous.

The two cooks broke off from their quarrel and looked at (Name) with surprise. They were hesitant until one of them sighed "How much do you know about old stoves?" He asked "A bit not much but it can't hurt to look," she said as she removed her flannel and knelt by the stove, taking a moment to survey the problem before opening it up. She saw immediately the issue "Well there's your problem! When was the last time you guys cleaned this thing?" She asked, her voice reverberating in the stove "There's a build-up of thick soot within the innards I'm pretty sure that's what's preventing the flint from sparking up"

For what felt like an eternity, (Name) sank her hands deeply into the stove, searching blindly for the hard-to-find components. She was passed a variety of tools by the cooks, their faces increasingly worried as the minutes trundled by. (Name) worked diligently, her arms aching from digging deep within the machines' innards, her fingertips sore from her search.

Finally, after pushing herself to the brink, (Name) pulled her hand from the stove with a satisfaction- she had done it. Using the tools provided, she had successfully cleaned out the soot and ash build-up and, as if by magic, the flint sparked to life, returning the stove to its full glory. The kitchen staff erupted into cheers, high-fiving her in congratulations. (Name) watched as they celebrated, feeling her heart swell with pride.

The scene changed to the back of the teahouse a month later. There lay a small garden that was a sight to behold. , a collection of lush green vegetation could be found, surrounded by a simple wooden fence. Sitting at the back of the teahouse, the garden was only just in the process of becoming something more than an outlet for (Name).

(Name) had become responsible for the garden's well-being since some of the servers told her about the abandonment it received. Though reserved and unsociable due to her wishes not to get close to anyone, (Name)'s passion for the garden was evident in her approach, and her gentle demeanor often allowed her to be just the right amount of charming with a subtle hint of authority if needed.

(Name) would start her work late in the morning when the sun rose high into the sky, welcoming the day's mild heat. She could be spotted in the garden, trowel in hand, planting various fruits, berries, vegetables, herbs, and spices into the soft dirt. The summer breeze carried the hint of lavender and basil past her nose, making it difficult to retain focus. With the air full of the aroma of soil, (Name)'s dedication to the task at hand was unwavering.

The garden was a place of respite for her from the crowds and gave her the ability to avoid anyone who was involved directly with the Mortal Kombat events yet to come. With the garden rows neatly arranged from one end to the other, it was a sight to take in. The fruit bushes were lined up at the northern corner of the garden and stretched up to the edges side by side, branded with the same rust-colored wooden stakes that marked the entirety of the garden. The vegetables, such as pumpkins, beans, and squash, were placed together along the western side, each one accompanied by its sturdy trellis crafted from wood and metallic wire. The southern section bowed out inwards as the herbs and spices were planted in several mounds along the ground, creating an inviting pathway for anyone ready to explore the area.

The amount of money she spent on buying the already sprouted plants that would grow into fruits and vegetables to speed up the process of gaining fresh produce had left her in debt with Madam Bo even more due to the fact that she hadn't had any money when she arrived. She felt guilty borrowing the money from her but swore she'd pay everything back to her.

Though it didn't look like much, the garden was a beloved part of her life in the village. (Name) enjoyed no words of praise nor monetary reward, but the small glimmer in her eyes when she gave anything produced to Madam Bo to use was all that was needed to be told how fulfilled she felt when she grew her produce.

Tucked away at the back of the teahouse, the small garden was the perfect place to while away the afternoon on a sunny day. The warmth of the sun shining high above was inviting and refreshing. Surrounded by a fence of simple timber, this little sanctuary remained hidden from prying eyes. Here, (Name)'s passion for her work was showcased and appreciated, and it was here that the plants of this proud oasis were brought to life.

The scene changes to the outside of the teahouse at the back away from the garden. grunting is heard from around the corner where (Name) is striking a thick wooden post sticking out of the ground with her fists, which are wrapped up in bandages, and her feet. Her flannel is hung over a fence nearby as she hits the post over and over and over again. Her focus is solely on the post as she hits it ignoring any soreness or sting in her hands. Despite not being able to train for years she never forgot how to fight. Not after her training with the SF, not after her training with Mileena nor after her training with the Shirai ryu. Those memories she could look back on with fondness.

It had been nearly a month since she arrived back in this universe, where she trained in secret where the training post was, it wasn’t until now, as she stood at the back of the teahouse and unleashed her ferocious strikes and kicks against a thick wooden post, that she truly felt alive and in control. Her feet twisted and spun as she moved around the post, her arms jabbing and blocking as she switched between techniques. The air seemed to crackle with electricity as she attacked the post over and over again, a fierceness in her movements that belied her age.

It was different from her training from years ago for sure. In the months she's been here she hadn't been able to conjure a single flame not even a spark. Her fire abilities seem to have disappeared. Once again she had lost another part of herself that she had hoped to find returning to this world as a small consolation. As disappointing as it was to lose them maybe it was for the best. She felt a little less troubled by the fact that maybe she could hide away from whatever Mortal Kombat tournament would take place and maybe then avoid whatever Geras brought her here for.

For minutes that seemed like hours, (Name) repeated her strikes and kicks until her body ached and her breathing became labored. But she pushed on, leaning into each strike and kick, her mind repeating her movements as if she were in a trance. The post creaked and groaned as it withstood her assault, but still, it did not give way. Memories flooded her mind with every strike.

Her first encounter with Raiden and Liu Kang Strike Meeting Scorpion Strike Fighting Shang Tsung Strike Meeting Mileena Strike Her first kiss with Tomas strike Falling for Mileena Strike Losing her Strike Finding Calithea Strike Losing Hanzo Strike LoSiNg CaLiThEa! STRIKE

Suddenly, a force much greater than anything she had previously exerted seemed to pass through her body. She stepped back and released a loud cry, her spinning heel kick connecting squarely with the post. The wood split in half, both pieces tumbling to the ground.

(Name) stood back, panting for breath, yet feeling strangely triumphant. She took a few paces back, her eyes fixed on the broken post then she looked down at her hands, her knuckles red, bleeding a bit, and bruised up, with a nod as she clenched them "Still got it" She said before wiping the sweat off her brow then walking to the fence to grab her flannel.

Unknown to her that watching from the top balcony of the teahouse was Madam Bo. She was smiling with a knowing glimmer in her eyes "And she says she's not Viper anymore" She said laughing to herself before walking back into the teahouse to write a letter to a certain god that there was another candidate for him.

The scene changes to the balcony of the teahouse where (Name) sits alone on the railing and looks up at the moon. She thought of all the promises she made to herself that she never kept. Tears began filling her eyes as the realization that she still hadn't gotten over what Liu Kang did to her nor was she over the fact that no one would know her as she was instead they would see a legendary hero...not the friend who stood by their side.

(Name) raised her spirited drink to her lips and took a sip. The warmth of the liquid felt comforting and she found comfort in the taste. She closed her eyes and let the wind dance around her flushed face. She had been drinking for an hour by now and borderline was drunk at this point but still maintained her balance on the railing.

"Geras...Why did you have to bring me back?"

She opened her eyes slowly staring up at the moon, her eyes melancholic and dulled, as she let the alcohol in her system cloud her mind and speak without a filter.

"You couldn't have let me be, huh? Y-you-you-you think that what? Just because I came to the last two times to help that I'm some kind of go-too for fixing his problems? News flash, Geras, I'm not!" Tears began streaming down her flushed cheeks, in frustration, as her eyes reddened and anger shone through "I'm not some toy you get to pick up and play with and then discard when you're bored! I'm alive, I think, I feel, I have a heart that beats and eyes that can see this world for what it is! A joke and an absolute joke! The story will end exactly the same as it did with the other ones! so why take me away? Why bring me back into this shit when everything stays the way it was written! Everyone got a happy ending except for me! What the fuck is that about!?"

She drops her head low for a few moments before looking back up in pain and sorrow with the look of defeat in her eyes "I've already lost...so much, Geras,...the woman I loved, The man I loved...for fuck sake my own daughter...Haven't I given enough? Haven't I suffered enough by now for you to just leave me alone?" The moon gives no reply as (Name) openly sobs into her hands, her body shaking with each sob. She allows her drunken grief to consume her as she cries unaware of the eyes watching her, from beyond the stars, with regret and remorse dancing in them. The screen fades to black with (Name)'s sobbing slowly fading.

"I am sorry, My Lady, but this is needed for this world...and for you"

The scene opens to 2 months afterward with the sun shining down on (Name) and Madam Bo as they stand out the front of the teahouse. (Name)'s clothes have changed to a white peasant blouse with sleeves to the elbows, a long ankle-length green skirt, brown flats with crossover straps, her hobo crossbody bag with her clothes, and a white wide-brim sunhat with a black ribbon around it. Her hair was in braids again but longer above her mid-thigh. The travel cart was making the last calls for departure.

"You sure you can't stay a little longer, Dear?" Madam Bo asked with a sad frown on her face as she straightened up (Name)'s shirt "Ma, I'm fine really. I promise I'll write to you every week to let you know how I'm doing" (Name) said trying to assure Madam Bo. She had started Calling Madam Bo 'Ma' around a month ago and it just stuck. Madam Bo sighed as she let her hands drop to her side and looked (Name) in the eye "You'd better. I can't have you disappearing on me" "I'll be ok, Ma, I'll come back in 3 months I swear. I just want to travel for a bit and make something of myself I don't want the name 'Viper' being the only thing that defines me" (Name) replied "I know. It was nice having you here but even I know I can't keep you here forever" Madam Bo said before hugging (Name) "Make sure you come back in 3 months on the dot" (Name) nodded "I promise, Ma, I promise!"

"Last call for departure!" The cart driver called out causing Madam Bo to let go and (Name) to quickly dash off to the cart. after a few steps, she bumped into someone causing the hat to fly off and onto the ground"Oh! I'm so sorry! Here let me get...that" The person said gently picking up the hat "No it's my fault really" (Name) said taking the hat from the man. His brown eyes meet hers as he looks at her from underneath his Chinese coolie hat not used to seeing a new face in Fengjian. (Name) quickly turns to the cart and hops onto it "BYE MA!" She called out as it drove off down the road leaving the man to watch her as she fades off into the distance while Madam Bo waves goodbye to her 'daughter' "You're here early today. Aren't you, Raiden?" Madam Bo asked not taking her eyes off the cart "I wanted to come here for once without having to foot the bill for Kung Lao," He said laughing.

The scene changes to a village bathed in moonlight. (Name) had been wandering for what felt like an eternity, even though it had only been a few days. She had turned off the main road in favor of taking the scenic route, winding her way through the villages and hamlets that dotted the countryside. This late in-the-evening air was cool and still, with nothing but the faint buzz of cicadas and distant birdsong to break the silence.

(Name) slowly made her way through the village, the full moon lighting her path as she walked. She saw as the buildings of the village shimmered in the light, their sloped roofs reaching up into the night sky. The dirt road streets were so quiet with only the occasional villager out and about. She could see people walking back to their homes, while some were huddled near the local taverns sipping from their drinks and chatting.

As (Name) walked further into the village she noticed how dark it was, shadowed alleys in the darkness, mysterious buildings lit up by the dimly lit lanterns that lined the roads. The windows of the buildings glowed yellow in the moonlight, settlers were asleep inside their homes. Along the way, she saw Chinese symbols and intricate carvings encapsulated in the walls of the village buildings, which shined in the lantern light as she passed them.

As (Name) walked further, she sensed something was off. She could feel a tingling along the edges of her skin, a warning sign that something was amiss. She kept walking, her pace becoming more vigilant and alert to her surroundings.

Just then, she heard a commotion ahead of her. It sounded like shouting and cursing coming from a nearby alley. (Name) quietly picked up her pace, curiosity getting the better of her.

As she rounded the corner, she was horrified to find a group of roughly seven men standing with pipes and clubs, surrounding a little girl, with black hair and fair skin, who was huddled against her unconscious mother’s body. The girl was sobbing and shaking her mother, desperately trying to wake her.

The little girl looked too much like Calithea.

(Name) felt a wave of pure rage surge through her; these men were preying on this defenseless woman and her child. There was no way (Name) could let this stand. She rushed forward, determined to protect them.

As she barged her way through the crowd, the men stopped in surprise. (Name) felt something stir deep within her, something she had long suppressed but which now seemed to be reaching out in a desperate attempt to protect the two civilians, and before she knew what was happening, she felt the heat beginning to build in her palms and arms. Tendrils of flames started to erupt, curling and folding around each other, growing ever larger and brighter. As she raised her arms, they began to spread outwards around her body.

The men seemed surprised by the sudden display of power in front of them and took a couple of steps back. (Name)'s flames continued to build, her anger and outrage at the injustice of this unfairness morphing and twisting the fire into shapes and colors that she had never seen before.

The flames reached out further, encircling (Name) in a protective flame that extended outwards in all directions, blocking the brutes from getting close enough to do any additional harm.

(Name) stood there, her heart racing and her emotions in a knot, feeling her power but also feeling utterly drained and exhausted. She sent a wave of fire and energy around her, pushing the men away and ushering in a sense of safety and protection for the woman and her daughter.

The men exchanged terrified looks and turned to flee before the furious inferno that had appeared before them. (Name) scoffed at the retreating forms, her hands extinguished and her fury abating.

She then looked down at her hands in confusion. She hadn't used her fire abilities in years thinking they had disappeared, and yet here they were, responding to her anger as if they had always been a part of her. She shook her head, her recent revelations pushed to the back of her mind.

She turned to find the little girl still sitting beside her unconscious mother, eyes wide with shock. (Name) knelt before her and gently asked, “Are you alright?”

The girl nodded looking up at her with big green eyes, Kaitlyns heart sank slightly as that was the only one of the few differences between her and Calithea, "Thank you, Miss" She sniffled. (Name) waved her thanks away "No problem but we need to get you're mum to a doctor. Don't worry, doll, I got her" (Name) said picking up the mother and carrying her on her back.

(Name) quickly found the local doctor’s office after walking with the little girl for a few minutes, thankfully they were still open but the looks on their faces when they saw (Name) carrying the mother and the daughter standing next to her with scratches was a sight. After some medical attention and a few hours of rest, the woman was thankfully alright. (Name) was exhausted by the evening’s events and knew she needed rest. She continued on her journey and soon found the local inn where she was able to get a much-needed night’s sleep.

The following morning, (Name) awoke to a knock at the door. She opened it to find the same little girl from the night before, with her mother behind her, standing before her, tears in her eyes and a silver necklace in her hands "Thank you for protecting my mommy and me!" she once again thanked her for her help, before slipping the necklace into (Name)’s hand and running away with her mother following after her. (Name) looked after her, moved by the girl’s appreciation. She opened her hand to find the necklace with a simple circle pendant. Her heart swelled with the girls' kindness as she slipped the necklace on yet she still didn't smile but there was a slight twinkle in her eyes.

2 months later reads across the screen changing the scene to the village where the sound of a monkey wrench being used can be heard coming from an open shed. (Name) sat in her open shed, her motorcycle in pieces in front of her. The sun was high, beating down on her and the few buildings that populated the area. (Name) had been in this village for exactly two months now, and in that time it had become her home. In the short time she had been there, those in the small town had come to rely on her for fixing their various things.

She nods to herself as she surveyed her work. From where she was sitting, the motorcycle was made up of titanium, steel, and tungsten parts - all put together by her.

(Name) had on long jeans, her white singlet, and her brown boots. Her (hair colour) hair was tied up in a high bun, ensuring it stayed out of the way as she worked on her motorcycle's engine. Not that it mattered, as she already had smudges of oil on her otherwise fair skin. luckily she hung up her flannel on the hook behind her.

Glancing around the village, (Name) thought to herself that it was hot. She thought of the heat that must have been radiating from her shed, and of how she had been there all day with no break - not even for lunch. (Name) knelt in front of her bike and inspected the engine, her brow furrowed in contemplation "Son of a bitch" She grumbled as she worked on putting the engine together. She had to obtain the specific metals so that she could have her bike run on two different fuel sources. Petrol of course to avoid any unwanted attention not like the other option.

Her fire.

She had planned this for the past month and a half. Getting the materials was easy it was forging the parts that were hard for her. Tungsten and titanium don't melt easily. Tungesten melts at 5600* while titanium melts at 3000* She had to figure out how to meld them together with steel so that she could build the bike up from scratch. using the two specific metals made her bike damn near fireproof meaning she couldn't melt it as long as she didn't use her fire at half-strength which was easy enough.

She had been training with her abilities in the fields on some nights away from any civilian life to prevent any injuries to others. They hadn't changed all that much, maybe her anger fueled it a bit too much at times, yes but there wasn't all that much different from what she used to do.

The sun was beginning to dip in the sky, and (Name) knew it was about time to end her day's work. As she collected her tools and carefully put the pieces of her bike back in place.

The cruiser motorcycle was a sight to behold, sleek and powerful, yet elegant and compact. It was a perfect combination of classic looks and heavy-duty performance. Its frame was constructed from a combination of titanium, tungsten, and steel, all of which lent the bike its incredible fire and heat resistance, able to withstand temperatures of up to 5000 degrees Celsius. The black leather seating was comfortable yet beautiful, the handlebars soft and easy to hold onto, and the strong headlight shone brightly during the night.

To complete the look were two side saddle bags, affixed to each side of the bike for storage. These bags were made of tough leather, able to resist wear and tear, as well as provide plenty of space for items.

Yet, the most impressive feature of this cruiser motorcycle was its ability to run on her firepower. In the event of a fuel shortage, the bike would still be able to function from the energy generated by the fire she supplied. This allowed it to be used in areas where fuel was not easily available, making it an even more reliable and attractive vehicle.

The bike was energized by the roar of its engine, capable of moving forward at an impressive speed. By its looks, it was clear that it was designed to be a reliable and steady machine, one that its rider could count on.

This cruiser motorcycle was a sight to behold, a brilliant combination of beauty and performance that was sure to make any rider proud. It was robust and dependable, able to withstand intense heat and fire, and yet still retain its style and charm. Its strong headlight and side saddle bags provided extra functionality, and its ability to run on firepower made it an invaluable tool for remote studies. This hefty, classic-looking bike was a true powerhouse that any rider could count on.

She loved how beautifully put together her bike was as she began closing up the shed with a nod of approval and locked it up. She turned around with her toolbox in one hand and her hoodie in the other as she made her way back to her little house ready for what was to come.

Later that night they came back.

The six bandits were a motley crew, all of them draped in tattered cloaks and cloaked in hoods that hid their true identities. The leader of the pack had a jagged scar running down his left cheek, and the others - six men and three women - were equally as rough in appearance.

They burst through the village in the dead of night, their cackles ringing out loud across the sleeping streets. The bandits wasted no time messing with the villagers' stalls, standing firm with their arms crossed even in the face of the enraged complaints of the angry vendors. They plundered and tore through the booths, grasping merchandise in their hands and stuffing their bags with all they could find. The leader of the bandits went around brandishing a hefty stick, lashing out at anyone who looked twice at them.

The villagers, rightfully scared of the bandits' violent behavior, stayed indoors as the bandits pillaged the stalls to their heart's content. The frightened market-goers looked out from their windows at the chaotic scene developing before their eyes, familiar faces that had been shopping there for years now dreading the thought of the bandits returning. The villagers acted like rats in a maze, waiting for the bandits to eventually release them from their fear.

The six bandits were loud and oppressive, their bulky frames intimidating and their unkempt hair billowing in the night breeze. They were clad in leather and carried daggers and swords in makeshift scabbards. Their boots stomped on the cobblestones as they began to make off with their plunder. The villagers, scared and trembling, waited hunkered in their homes waiting until the bandits had moved on.

But the bandits were unaware of the return of a legend.

"I don't think those belong to you"

The bandits look around trying to find who dared to speak out against them "Up here" They all look up to the building where the moon hangs over.

There on the roof stood a silhouetted figure loomed over them. Her mid-thigh length hair floated slightly in the wind gently, her nose and mouth covered by a black bandana, a black sleeveless shirt, black fingerless gloves, black leggings, black ankle boots with silver rivets on the sides, chains wrapped around both of her forearms, a long black pole strapped to her back and her piercing (eye colour) eyes trained on them in a glare as she stood there in a crouched position with her forearms laying on her thighs.

"What the-" "Drop the valuables they're not yours. If you do that you can walk away without any harm done. You DON'T drop them you won't be walking away from this" (Name) said in a calm and ice-cold tone of voice that sent shivers of fear down some of their spines. One of the women stepped up. "Like we'll listen to you! Fucking coward standing above us up there!" She yelled up making some of her friends laugh. (Name) remains silent for a few moments before she straightens herself up "I gave you a chance. Now suffer the consequences" she says as she walks to the side of the roof and drops into the dark alley disappearing into its inky blackness. It's silent for a few moments and the bandits begin to believe that she is all bark and no bite laughing and mocking her.

until there was a little light in the alley.

In the darkness, (Name) raised her arms and suddenly the alleyway transformed. Fire engulfed the walls and the ground beneath them seemed to ripple as flames lapped up against the stone. She had a scythe in one hand--its silver blade reflecting the orange light as its tip cut through the air. In the other was a chain of metal, glinting in the fire. While the chains were simple silver the Scythe was another story.

The long scythe was awe-inspiring and had a dangerous air about it. It was a thing of beauty; not that of the clean and inoffensive kind, but rather, of a wild, feral beauty.

The scythe had two distinct colors, complimentary and in perfect harmony: silver and black. The pole was a black design with slim lines through it like cracks in the ground which seemed to show the inside of the scythe, slim and strong. The silver blade was set on a short yet powerful black iron arm, where the design on the handle stood out exquisitely despite its darkness. The blade itself was in the shape of a large fang but still looked very similar to that of a grim reaper's scythe. the design on it was simple for the most part, with no special designs, and no patterns but the edge of the blade was more defined as a lighter silver.

The bandits stood in shock. The female vigilante had come for them and she wasn't here to give them another chance.

She strode towards them, her movements fluid and graceful as the flames danced around her. With one swift movement, she swung her scythe, and as the lines on either side of the pole lit up with her fire, the edge of the blade glowed bright and sent the flames soaring outwards, scorching the faces of the bandits and immolating the stone. The bandits yelled and scrambled, trying to outrun the fire, but the woman was relentless. She swung her scythe at the first bandit severing his arm from above the elbow. He screams in pain but is quickly silenced by her decapitating him. Another bandit tried to charge at her but didn't get even close as she swung her scythe again upwards slicing her left leg off and making her scream and howl in pain. The man and the other two women tried to run from her. A chain flew out from the alley and wrapped around one of the women's throats choking her. (Name) heated the metal causing the chain around her forearm and hand to glow bright with the conducted heat. The glow traveled up the chain to around the woman's neck. She tried to scream but the glowling hot chain was pulled back severing her head and letting it roll on the ground.

(Name) twirled her scythe and sent out a shockwave of flame that engulfed them, burning them to ashes in a matter of seconds leaving two of the bandits alive and on their asses.

The two bandits looked at each other in horror then at (Name) as she loomed over them like a specter of hell the moon shadowing her features except for her glowling eyes that held no remorse. Just a cold dead stare "P-Please! w-w-we're sorry! we'll give everything back! we swear!" The female bandit from earlier stammered as her leader trembled in fear with sweat beading from his head. (Name) tilted her head and narrowed her eyes "....You are to leave everything you have taken from these people...then you will spread a message for me to every single one of your friends and anyone else who wants to prey on the innocent again" (Name) said calmly with venom dripping from her voice as she leaned in closer causing the pair to shake with fear seeing her grip tighten on her scythe still glowing with fire. The wind carried a chill throughout the village, the fire behind her causing her eyes to look like a predator about to pounce on their prey, her hair being highlighted by its light.

"Viper has returned. She is here to bring swift justice to the degenerates of this world, and none shall be spared her wrath"

The two bandits nod shaking and running off with nothing but the clothes on their backs into the night. (Name) stood in the center, surveying the carnage, her hair billowing in the wind. Satisfied that justice had been served, she extinguished the last traces of flame stepped away from the alleyway entrance, and walked down the street retracting her chains back to her forearms.

This was the monster she had hidden. The monster who fed on her anger, her rage, her heartbreak, and her sorrow. She may be a legend in the books but she took her anger out on those who thought they were above consequence.

Gone was the naive 18-year-old girl who looked at this world with wide eyes and a bright smile, gone was the 22-year-old who was in love and hoped for a future where she could have peace, and gone was the 28-year-old who was a mother in bliss ready to be with the man she loved. Now all that remains is the 24-year-old woman who simply existed and never asked for more.

Kindness, for her, was something she would always have but she swore to keep others at arm's length. (Name) sighs pulling down her mouth mask before returning to her small house to clean off her scythe.

As the fires had begun to die out the darkness of the night swallowed her up, leaving nothing but silence in her wake. Justice had been served, and the town was now safe. The screen fades to black.

Grunting can be heard in the darkness along with air wooshes before the screen brightens to an open field.

(Name) stood in the middle of the training grounds, her long scythe in hand. She had been practicing for hours, and her arms and hands were covered in cuts, a testament to her dedication to her craft. Holding the long scythe tightly, (Name) swung it around her like an extension of her arm. She trained for hours every day in the large field, with wooden poles that she had set up in a makeshift training area. The helix pattern of curved metal that took up more than 1/3 of the scythe's length glinted dangerously in the setting sun's light.

Her breathing was even, her stance sturdy as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other. Her eyes, a comforting brown, were focused and intense, her gaze fixed on an imaginary opponent. She didn't train just for the vigilante shtick she did it to release any extra energy she built up otherwise she'd end up being anxious and get frustrated. (Name) raised the scythe and began to move. She twirled it in her hands, spinning it around her body with an almost graceful ease. It seemed like second nature to her, as if she'd been born to wield such a weapon.

One foot moved forward and the other moved back as she shifted her weight again, her eyes never leaving her imaginary target. The scythe flew in circles around her, its sharp blade slicing through the air with deadly precision.

(Name) had been training with her scythe for months now, and it was starting to become second nature to her. She could feel the weight of it in her hands, and the balance of it in her body. She could anticipate her opponent's moves before they even made them, and she was ready to strike at any moment.

She moved forward, her scythe slicing through the air with a deadly accuracy. (Name) was a master of her craft and determined to prove it. The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the makeshift training grounds. (Name)'s cuts glistened in the fading light of day, and her breathing was still even and steady as she moved with her weapon.

(Name) had been so deeply engrossed in her training that she hadn't noticed the sun sink low on the horizon. Her arms and shoulders ached from the effort, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps. She didn't bother keeping track of time while she trained instead she used her determination and anger toward this world's so-called protector to push her forward. She recalls how she had made her scythe with the intention to instill fear in her opponents or any poor unfortunate soul unlucky enough to cross her in any way. She wanted it to be strong enough to withstand her fire much like her bike. Gathering the materials was much easier than designing the weapon.

Since then, she had been training hard, learning to work with any restricting movements with bandages on the skin of her arm, what with all the cuts and scrapes she had amassed due to her intense training with the weapon. Her palms were the worst, the skin on them sore and raw. She brushed a lock of her (hair colour) hair out of her eyes and flexed her fingers.

She was clumsy at first with it in the beginning, getting cut up multiple times, dropping it many times, and missing over and over again but after a few weeks, she was a natural with the scythe. It moved through her hands like an extension of her body, guided by some of her training. She could feel it, a power like no other that thrummed through her, as she continued her training. Her determination, impressive as it was, was beginning to pay off.

(Name) left the makeshift training area and began her way back home. Her feet moved lightly across the ground as she crossed the field, she felt the cold breeze licking at her skin like a gentle caress. She breathed in the fresh, night air. Soon, she was home, her scythe in tow.

At home, (Name) laid her scythe down carefully, its weightless form settling in its place. She rested her head on her pillow and allowed her eyes to close, finally surrendering to the exhaustion of her day. All the while, she knew that when her eyes reopened in the morning, it would be time to pick up her beloved scythe once more.

This was her life now, and she was determined to make the most of it. She did not doubt that she was ready for whatever might come her way. The screen fades to black as the candle nearby is blown out.

The screen shows that enough time has passed to the point of a week before (Name) is to go back to Madam Bo's. She's packing things into her motorcycle's saddles as some villagers come to wish her well. As she places her scythe into its collapsable size in one of the saddlebags the camera pans down her clothes. An orange sleeveless zip-up hoodie open to an inch under her underbust, black shorts, black tight-fitted thigh-high boots, a black mouth mask, and yellow round duo-bubble lens goggles on her head.

"That should be everything" She mutters her mouth opened enough to see her small sharp canines as she adjusts her goggles on her eyes before hopping onto her cycle. She nods in approval as she revs up her cycle, kicks the kick-stand up, and pulls up her black mouth mask "Atta girl" She praises her creation before taking off down the dirt road into the wide open lands.

The camera pans to a side view of (Name) on her motorcycle giving a full view of the landscape behind her. Her expression was unidentifiable due to the mask and the goggles as dust blew behind her. Her mind focused on only getting back to Fengjian and seeing her Ma again. The camera pans around to the back of her and her hood flutters in the wind underneath her fluttering hair.

She rides off down the dirt road where the camera stops then pans upwards to the blinding sun.

(I promised someone on my wattpad account that I'd post the first chapter of this book in the first week of November so here it is. Understand, however, that the rest of the chapters will take a while to get through since, unlike the previous games, I don't have transcripts of the game to go off of and it'll be hard to watch through the cutscenes of the game and type it up at the same time. until then hope you enjoy the first chapter)

Mortal Kombat 11 x reader: Chapter 17 Checkmate (final)

On the balcony surrounding the keep, the revenant Kitana and Liu Kang observe them "They are unaware of our army's full strength" Said Kitana "We will unleash hell" Replied Liu Kang. At the doors of the Keep, Fujin readies the crown of Kronika. Raiden spots the revenants looking down on them "We must capture him, quickly" Said Raiden "Now, Fujin" Said Shang Tsung.

Fujin takes the crown in his hands and carefully places it on his head. He grimaces and cries out as he struggles to contain its power, but he regains his composure after a few moments. He summons the wind and blows down the gates of the keep, knocking them straight over. He falls to his knees from the exertion and quickly yanks the crowd off his head. Raiden kneels by his side and tries to help him up "I need but a moment. Lead the charge!" Fujin groans. Jax looks to Raiden "Go! I'll cover him"

Raiden summons his lightning powers and levitates into the air. Underneath him, the Special Forces and Shaolin monks charge into the keep, led by Jacqui, Nightwolf, Young Jax, and Shang Tsung. They charge across the bridge and straight into the Netherrealm army.

A soldier brings his gun to bear on an oni, but the demon throws his weapon aside and slashes him across the neck, tearing his throat out. Another soldier shoots the oni with his pistol and grapples it, while next to them another oni grabs a soldier by the head and bites into his neck. Next to them, another soldier is disemboweled by an oni wielding a mace and bashed aside.

An oni slashes at a monk, but the blow is parried and the monk punches him backward. A soldier slashes an oni in the back of its ankle. Another soldier stabs an oni in the side and shoots it in the head at point-blank range with his pistol, only to be suddenly picked up by an oni with wings and dragged into the air. The winged demon grapples him in a rear naked choke and then tears him in half. As his remains fall back to the ground, Nightwolf sidesteps a swipe from an oni and hits it in the back of its knee with his tomahawk. He finishes it with a swipe that takes its head off.

In the sky, Raiden charges up a lightning blast and lets loose with a barrage of strikes. At least fifty oni are caught in the blast and instantly killed. Raiden somersaults through the air and lands back on the ground, readying a pair of lightning blades. He slashes out at any oni that charges him, the blades outright disintegrating the oni they connect with.

Raiden takes down several oni in this fashion, stopping to look over at twenty-five more bearing down on him. He slams the blades into the ground, channeling lightning through the ground and frying the attacking oni around him. He looks up to the Keep's

balcony, spotting the revenant Liu Kang leaping into the air. He somersaults through the air and lands a few feet away from Raiden. They face each other down.

"Time after time, Kronika's schemes have pitted us against each other. That cycle must end, Liu Kang" Raiden pleads "You... will have to kill me" Liu Kang replies "I would rather save you" Raiden says when Liu Kang charges directly at Raiden... and suddenly, the bones in his right leg burst out of his body. Liu Kang crumples to the ground, writhing in pain and clutching his newly broken leg. Raiden looks down at him in shock "By the Elder Gods!" Raiden exclaims.

The scene cuts to the ship ferrying the Outworld troops. Sindel stands with one foot on Kitana's head, and Liu Kang clutches his right leg, writhing in pain. Shao Kahn lifts his warhammer into the air and swings downward directly at him...

...and back at Kronika's Keep, the left leg of revenant Liu Kang suddenly bends at an angle it naturally wouldn't, bleeding profusely "Shao Kahn... he's smashed my legs!" Liu Kang groans in pain "Shao Kahn?!" Raiden asked shocked.

A warhorn sounds from back at the beech, prompting Raiden to turn around. The scene cuts to the beech, and the final of Kharon's ships crashes ashore. A battalion of Outworld forces are already ashore, and they stand and wait while the boarding plank is lowered to the ground. Immediately afterward, a single object is thrown off it, rolling to a standstill directly in front of our view.

That object is the severed head of Kotal.

A moment later, Shao Kahn and Sindel stride down the boarding plank. Shao lifts his hands (and Warhammer) into the air, prompting the Outworlders to burst out in cheers. As they start chanting, Sindel and Shao pump their fists in the air and charge forward. Immediately their followers do the same, and the Outworld army plunges toward the Keep. At the gates of the Keep, Old Jax and Fujin look upon the army charging at them "There's the Sindel I remember" Said Jax "No rest for the weary. Hold on to me!" Said Fujin

Jax puts his arm around Fujin's shoulders, and Fujin supports him in the same way as he levitates them both into the air with his wind powers. They fly over a battalion of Special Forces soldiers, who ready their weapons against the Outworld army.

Fujin and Jax land just ahead of the Earthrealm forces fighting the Netherrealm army. Raiden walks up to them both "Fujin, the crown! I must wield it against Sindel and Shao Kahn!" He says then Fujin takes the crown in his hands "I will do it. Save your strength for Liu Kang" Fujin replied "No, brother. The crown is our burden to share" Raiden insists. Fujin looks down at the crown, considers these words for a moment, and hands the crown to Raiden, who smiles at him "Thank you.

Just then, a clap of thunder sounds out above them, and Raiden lands down on the ground next to them. Unlike the Raiden already present, this one is coursing with lightning. He angrily strides towards them "Your lies are revealed, sorcerer!" Raiden yells. Both Raidens stand eye to eye. Fujin looks at them both... and back in horror at the one he just handed the crown to "Shang Tsung?" He says realizing his mistake as "Raiden" smirks in amusement and reverts back to his true form "You should be more vigilant, Fujin. Now, bear witness, as the power to decide destiny becomes mine" Shang Tsung says.

He lifts the crown and places it on his head. The effects are astounding - a gigantic tornado of souls arises around him, pushing Raiden, Fujin, and Jax backward. When it disperses, the souls are pulled back into Shang's body... which has dramatically changed appearance. He is now clothed in ornate gold and white attire, much like Kronika's minions wear. But most striking of all, he looks thirty-five years younger, with dark flowing hair instead of grey, and his beard has completely disappeared.

Surrounded by the green glow of his soul power, he floats into the air, high above the heroes "This has always been your endgame, hasn't it? From the moment you were trapped in the void" Fujin said angrily "Kronika was wise to banish me" Shang Tsung replied as he held his hands up in the air in a grandiose pose "With this crown, I am her equal"

"Your evil will not triumph!" Fujin yells. Fujin envelops Raiden in a tornado of wind and he flies directly at Tsung. Shang doesn't even move as Raiden teleports behind him. As Raiden tries a knifing chop, Shang blocks it, then he blocks a reverse elbow and ducks under a roundhouse kick. He blocks another back elbow and leans backward to avoid a left hook. Raiden throws a spinning roundhouse kick, but Shang catches his leg and tosses him through the air. Raiden spins around but rights himself after a moment. He launches back at the sorcerer with a flying kick, but Shang deflects it once more and leans back to avoid a right book. He parries two more of Raiden's strikes, ducks another roundhouse kick, and grapples Raiden by his leg. He spins the Thunder God around multiple times before throwing him back down to the ground.

As Raiden falls, Shang summons two flaming skulls and shoots them down after him. Fujin jumps up and catches Raiden, but the skulls crash into them, causing them to fly backward and bowl over Old Jax on the ground. Shang Tsung laughs to himself at the destruction he has caused "All too easy"

Back on the ground, Nightwolf slams his tomahawk into the arm of an oni, following through with another slash on its shoulder. He chops it in the leg to knock it down, then chops another charging oni in the arm, following it by burying the tomahawk in its face. As it falls, Shang Tsung floats into his path "How does it feel? Knowing that you will be the last Nightwolf?" He taunted

"The Great Spirit will choose another. I may die, but the mantle will live on"

They fight. Despite his martial skill and all of the powers bestowed on him, Nightwolf cannot match the power of Shang Tsung. With Kronika's crown magnifying his magical prowess, he proves to be far stronger than anything the Native American has ever faced. It's not long before Nightwolf is beaten unconscious.

"Fool. The mantle dies with you"

Shang Tsung approaches his fallen form and readies his soul-stealing ability "His soul is not yours to take!" Fujin shouts. Shang Tsung stops the process as he spots Fujin and Raiden walking toward him "His soul - and yours - are mine" Shang Stung replies "You think us unprepared? Your treachery is expected, sorcerer" Raiden states "You are incapable of choosing the righteous path!" Fujin says.

"The path I choose ends with your souls sworn to my service. That future is now undeniable"

They fight. The combined strength of Raiden and Fujin would have, at one time, been too much for Shang Tsung to handle. But now, empowered as he is, not even the Earthrealm gods together can hope to match his power. Shang Tsung mercilessly unleashes the full force of Kronika's crown upon them. Despite their best efforts, Fujin and Raiden are overwhelmed and defeated by the sorcerer.

"Now, I choose your destiny"

With both Raiden and Fujin down before him, Shang readies himself and starts to drain their souls from them. Both Raiden and Fujin are powerless to prevent it, and soon their bodies start to shrivel as they writhe in pain. However, Shang does not completely drain them, and as a result, they are not left as lifeless husks, but barely alive and unconscious wrecks. Shang revels in the boost of power the souls of the gods provide him. Behind him, Shao Kahn, Sindel, and the Outworld army walk up, taking in the sight of the defeated Raiden and Fujin.

"Let's finish them," Shoa Kahn says smirking "With pleasure," Sindel says ready "No. Keep them alive. We can siphon their powers for eternity" Shang Tsung says convincing them "All the better" Shao Kahn says as he motions to them. Two Shokan pick up their unconscious forms and drag them off.

The scene cuts to the inside of the Keep. Kronika manipulates the sands, with Cetrion by her side. The revenants Kung Lao, Kitana, and Jade run into the room.

"What now, Kronika? Shang Tsung has breached our defenses" Asks Kitana "Victory is still at hand. We will put down Shang Tsung's defiance. But you will require more assistance" Kronika replies then she turns to Cetrion "Dearest Cetrion, you have served me admirably," She says as she holds out her hands, even though there is no warmth in the tone of her voice. Cetrion takes her hands regardless "Now there is one final service you must perform" Certion nods "Yes, Mother. I understand" She says then she raises her hands to the heavens and exerts in pain. Her form disintegrates into a glowing ball of multicolored light that flies into Kronika. The power that Cetrion wielded now flows out of Kronika.

Past (Name) looked up instantly hearing her future self's words "Never, she's our daughter" "Exactly and her being here proves that not everything is the same. We made a difference even if it was something small" (Name) said to her past self as she smiles "We...may not have changed a lot but even the smallest of things can make the biggest of changes. We tried so hard to protect and teach others to be kind to one another but along the way, we learn some things about ourselves"

Past (Name) looks up from the floor "Like what?" She asked causing her future self to smile softly as her "...We crave love. We crave acceptance. So much so we are willing to burn ourselves to keep others warm making us be classed as people pleaseres. We have so much love to give but are afraid of the possibility we'd be rejected, afraid we'd be hated for it, afraid that we aren't worthy to be loved. That's why before we even came to this world...we'd read reader inserts on the computer, on our phones, or on our tablets...to escape to a world where the characters we read about are already in love with us or are destined by the end of the story to love us"

Past (Name) takes in these words and tears up as she hugs her knees, feeling like how she did when she was 18 before coming to this world. Future (Name) has tears lining her eyes as she softly smiles "But that's not the case. We are worthy of love, we don't have to be afraid to show how much we love someone, and if they don't like it who cares? We have no reason to be ashamed of who we are" Past (Name) softly cries as tears fall from both of their eyes "We are perfect the way we are and nobody has the right to tell us otherwise"

Outside the room, an oni is knocked to the ground. Shang Tsung immediately drains its soul. Sindel blasts another off its feet with a banshee scream. Shao Kahn grabs another by the throat and snaps its neck, throwing it aside. The corridor behind them is littered with similarly butchered oni. The three of them walk up to the door leading to the Hourglass.

"The Hourglass awaits" Said Shang Tsung "Beyond that door... ultimate power" Said Shao Kahn "It will be our privilege to wield it," Said Sindel. Unseen by them, Shang smirks to himself "Please, allow me" Shang Tsung says as he lifts a hand toward the door. It immediately opens at his gesture. They walk into the room to face down Kronika and the revenants, who are now wearing the same gold-white battle outfits that Kronika's minions bear.

"Shang Tsung, pretender to my role" Kronika sneers as she turns to face them "Your strategy has been novel. But in the end, you will not prevail. Finish them!"

The revenants charge them, Jade facing off against Sindel, Kitana against Shao Kahn, and Kung Lao against Shang Tsung.

Kung Lao throws his bladed hat at Tsung, but the sorcerer slides under it. Lao jumps over his attempted sweep and rolls to his feet, catching the hat on its way back. He slashes at Shang's legs, but he hops over the swipe. Lao swings the hat down at him, but Shang kicks his wrist to knock it away, then follows with several sidekicks that force Kung Lao to block, losing ground as he does so. A high kick breaks through his defenses and tags him in the face, allowing Shang to follow with a roundhouse kick to the gut.

Both (Name)s pull themselves together and watch the fight unable to do anything. Calithea begins to wake up from the noise.

Jade and Sindel swing at each other with their staff and naginata, respectively, each one expertly parrying and avoiding every swing at each other. Finally, several strikes from Sindel cause Jade to lose her grip on her staff, and Sindel immediately sinks her naginata straight through Jade's stomach, running her through.

Shao Kahn swings his Warhammer around him, but Kitana avoids several of his swipes. She slashes him across the cheek with her bladed fan, but he counters another slash with a straight punch to her face. With Kitana stunned, Shao smashes her in the chest with his hammer, knocking her backward right into Sindel's naginata, impaling her right next to Jade. Sindel yanks her weapon free and both of the revenants fall over dead.

Behind them, Kung Lao snaps the neck of... Kung Lao... and then blasts Kronika with a burst of soul energy, knocking her backward. "Kung Lao" then swipes at his hat and reverts to Shang Tsung, grinning sadistically.

Past (Name) still looks to her future self "Still think there's good in him" "....we can't be right 100% of the time" Calithea sits up and is confused as to why she has 2 mamas at that moment then sees Sindel and smiles "NANA!" She calls out making Sindel and Shao Kahn look at her. Sindel smiles "My darling, are you alright?" She cooed as Shao Kahn took in Calithea's appearance seeing the strong resemblance between her and Mileena "I'm ok, Nana!" Calithea said smiling.

Kronika lands hard on the ground, clearly in pain and unable to rise. Shao Kahn and Sindel stride toward her "How easily you are felled, Kronika. Once your power's mine, I will rule eternity!" Shao Kahn boasted.

Behind them, Shang Tsung smirks one more time, then blasts Shao and Sindel in the back with twin bursts of flame, knocking them down. He strides in front of Kronika and faces them down "Killing Kronika is MY destiny" He says as Shao Kahn and Sindel struggle back to their feet, clearly angered.

"Yours is to serve me. My obedient subjects, projecting my influence throughout the realms" Shang Tsung says smugly "You're drunk on the crown's power, Shang Tsung. In your stupor, you forget your place" Shao Kahn mocks "He is a dog who betrays his masters. Come, let's put him down" Says Sindel. Shao Kahn readies his Warhammer and strides forward, Sindel on his heels.

They fight. Even with their combined strength, not even the power of Shao Kahn and Sindel can hope to match Shang Tsung. With the magic of the crown and that of the souls he has taken, the sorcerer is far beyond any threat that they have faced. Shang Tsung eagerly dishes out the beating of a lifetime on both Shao Kahn and Sindel, leaving them both a broken mess on the ground.

"My service to you is over" He states and just as he did to Raiden and Fujin earlier, Shang Tsung readies his powers and unleashes his magic on Shao Kahn and Sindel, draining them of their souls "Now yours to me begins" (Name) knows what's to come, having seen him do this before, and covers Calitheas eyes and ears with her arms as she hold her to her chest and her past self watches in horror.

Unlike the Earthrealm gods, however, Shang holds nothing back, fully draining his former employers of all of their souls. For a few moments, they both wail in agony, but after that, the two of them fall silent. As Shang laughs to himself, Shao Kahn and Sindel have the last of themselves drained, now nothing more than ravaged husks. Behind Tsung, Kronika floats through the air and addresses him "You have no one left to betray" He turns to face her "Concede, Kronika, while you have time. I'll let you live, to serve me in my New Era. Or would you prefer to be wiped from history?

"Sculpting the Sands of Time requires great power and skill. You may wear my crown, but you are NOT a Titan!"

They fight. The battle against Kronika proved to be far easier for Shang Tsung than it was for Liu Kang. With the power of her crown at his disposal and the strength he has gained from the souls he has consumed, Shang Tsung matches and exceeds the Titan of Time's ability at every turn. In spite of her best efforts, Kronika is eventually left bloodied and beaten.

"Destiny is mine"

He strides towards Kronika, who tries to desperately crawl away from him "You should have accepted my offer, Kronika. I would have allowed you to wield great influence. Surely service is better than death" At his words, Kronika defiantly turns to face him "I do not serve. I am a Titan" She snaps "You WERE, Kronika"

He raises his hands and starts to drain her soul. As her power flows into him, Kronika does not shrivel up like his other victims. Instead, she outright disintegrates into sand, and within a moment, nothingness. He turns to both the (Name)s and Calithea smirking. Future (Name) held her daughter close to her "Do not worry, my dear, I wouldn't dream of harming the little one. In the new era I will be the one you will devote yourself to as we raise her in my image" (Name) is horrified at his words "I will never choose you! Never in this or any timeline!" He chuckles "Of course you will my dear," He says with a twisted grin "Time and destiny are now mine to command. Every realm will bend to my will"

He faces the Hourglass and starts to manipulate the sands within with his magic. But behind him, a portal opens.

"Cease! Before you doom us all"

Shang Tsung turns around. Out of the portal walks the Fire God Liu Kang. He strides toward the sorcerer, who stops manipulating the sands in surprise.

(Name) smiles in relief "LIU!" She says, Her past self shocked at Liu Kang's appearance, while Calithea cheers "FIRE MAN!" He smiles at them "Liu Kang! I thought your duties required that you stay behind" Shang Tsung says "A lie - something you know well" Liu Kang replies directing his attention back to Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung turns away, and in a moment, understanding hits him.

"I see now. The Hourglass shows that only I could wield the crown against Kronika successfully" He turns back to him "You LET me win" Liu Kang smirks back in response "And to ensure victory, you sacrificed the lives of your friends.

(Name) looks at Shang Tsung in shock then slowly to Liu Kang "...What..." She whispers as her past self is just as shocked and turns to her future self "H-He wouldn't.." Shang Tsung returns the smirk, clearly amused "How deliciously cold-blooded" He said "They are not gone, Shang Tsung. They will live again, in my New Era"

"YOUR New Era? You underestimate my prowess, Chosen One. I have the crown. I have absorbed Kronika's power. You may have obtained godhood, but I am the Keeper of Time. You are no match for me" "Kronika said much the same, Shang Tsung" They begin to circle one another "You will share her fate. Now hand over the crown" He summons his fire, which surrounds his body "This is your only chance"

"My only chance? This is my triumph and your final moment! Your worthless existence is at its end!"

They fight. As was the case when they first clashed, the battle is truly epic, with neither Shang Tsung nor Liu Kang getting any clear advantage for the majority of it. For what seems like an age, the newly born Fire God and the most treacherous being of the Mortal Kombat universe fight with every power they have, but eventually... it is Liu Kang who prevails.

"Make no mistake, Shang Tsung... you have chosen this fate"

He turns to the Hourglass, summons some of its energy into his body, and shoots a torrent of fire at Shang Tsung, sending him sprawling across the chamber. Shang struggles to his knees and looks down at his hands... which he finds, to his horror, are turning into sand and disintegrating. He gasps in shock and terror as the sand travels to his arms, dissolving them as well. Liu Kang strides towards him.

"No more timelines will be twisted by your evil"

Shang falls backward, the sands affecting his legs as well. As his ankles dissolve into nothing, the sand travels to his sternum, then his shoulders. Liu Kang easily prises the crown off his head, and Shang Tsung only has one moment to look at his nemesis with one last expression of terror before the sand completely engulfs him. In a moment, he disintegrates into nothing.

Liu Kang walks to both (Name)s and unbinds them as well as Calithea "Liu...tell me he was lying..tell me you'd never.." (Name) says walking up to him with Calithea behind her as well as her past self. Liu Kang looked at her solemnly "I'm sorry, (Name), but it had to be done" He said as he turned to the Hourglass and looked down at the crown in his hands before looking back at them with regret "And I hope you can forgive me" Liu Kang places the crown on his head, and his eyes spark with electricity. He has no problems at all with its power. His flames summoned to his body, Liu Kang floats toward the Hourglass and begins to manipulate the sands within. The sand whipped around the room not too much like a sandstorm but more of a sandy breeze. (Name) looks around as her past self disappears into the sand "Liu!" She called out taking a step towards him.

"Mama?"

(Name) turns around to her daughter and her eyes widen in horror. Calithea looks at her hands as they begin turning to sand "MAMA?!" She cries out "No...NO!" (Name) yells and runs back to Calithea. She drops to her knees, not noticing her legs turning to sand, and pulls Calithea into her arms and cradles her head with her hand "Mama!" Calithea cries, tears rolling down her chubby cheeks, the fear in her eyes evident as she gripped her mother's clothes. (Name) is panicking "No! Gods please no!" She begs "LIU! STOP PLEASE! CALITHEAS DYING!" Her voice cracks from the pain she was feeling "I must restart the timeline. I am sorry" Was all he said. Sand travels up Calithea's body to her neck slowly as she wails "MAMA! MAMA I'M SCARED!" (Name) tried holding her closer "You're going to be ok. You're going to be ok" (Name) said over and over, bringing Calithea closer to herself, as memories of Calithea flash in her mind.

Her first words.

her first steps

Her first smile

Her first laugh

Her first time opening her eyes

Soon Calithea was covered by the sand still crying for (Name) "MAMA! MAM-!" Her wails were silenced as Calithea disintegrated into sand that blew away with the wind. (Name) stared at her arms in horror. Her arms trembling as she stares at them her mouth a gape, her throat feeling as though it was in a vice grip, her chest begins heaving rapidly as she tries to take in air to breathe her eyes pouring tears down her face as the sand crawls up her body to her sternum. Liu Kang hears as she gasps for air before a blood-curdling scream rips out from her throat, with the knowledge of his revenant's past he remembers the last time that scream was heard, the day she killed for the first time, and it breaks his heart but he doesn't stop. (Name) wails as she claws at her chest. no pain she had been through could compare no words could describe the pain she was going through. As the sand consumes her she cannot find the words to describe the pain Liu Kang has put her through. Her heartbreaking, blood-curdling, pain-filled screams echo through the darkness.

The scene fades into the scenic beauty of the Wu Shi Academy in Earthrealm. A group of monks practice a kata in the courtyard. In an enclosed workshop, a lone monk stands before a table, working on something. As the camera pans closer, we see he is gently dusting off a jade statue of a humanoid dragon. Behind him, a portal opens. The monk turns around to see the Fire God Liu Kang before him - notably not wearing Kronika's crown.

"Kung Lao," He says. The monk staggers back into the table in shock. It becomes clear that he is not the Kung Lao that we are familiar with "Where did you-- who-- who are you?" He questions "I am Lord Liu Kang, God of Thunder and Fire"

"God of--" Kung Lao immediately bows and clasps his hands together in the Shaolin salute. Liu Kang returns the gesture "Forgive my disrespect, my Lord!" Liu Kang holds up a hand and floats down to the ground "Enough, Kung Lao. You are humble. Not like the Kung Lao I knew" He replies confusing the monk "The Kung Lao you knew?" "A story for another time. I have chosen you as my champion, Kung Lao" He places his hand on Kung Lao's shoulder "We have work to do. You must be prepared. Trained" Kung Lao - or rather, the Great Kung Lao - looks confused at his words "Trained? For what?" Liu Kang says nothing... but gives a knowing smile.

The Scene changes to a bedroom. The bedroom was a cozy, decent size sitting between two windows that let in a refreshing breeze. The walls were painted white and the room was illuminated by the sun that shone through the windows. In the center of the room was a cozy double bed covered in a white comforter and black pillows. On one side of the bed, there were two bedside tables, one white and one black, each with a lamp atop them. The wall across from the bed was hung with several photos; a loving reminder of family and friends along with a tall full-body mirror and several posters of various games. Each corner of the room was filled with various items that brought personality and character to the space. In one corner there was a wall-mounted TV which was accented by a fluffy pink rug. In the other corner, there was a desk with a Playstation 4 laid out along with various games. On the desk was a vase with fake flowers in shades of pink. Light from the candles that were strategically placed throughout the room gave it a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Laying on the bed was (Name). Her body splayed across the bed as she began to come too. She slowly raised herself off the bed with her eyes closed in pain. She held her head trying to gather her thoughts. When she opened her eyes she saw she was in her old bedroom. the one she hadn't seen for 6 years. Jumping to her feet she looks around shocked as she realises she's back home. She walks past her mirror and catches a glimpse of herself in it. She stops and slowly walks back to it to look herself over.

Staring back at her was someone she didn't recognize. She sees herself but younger. She looked like she was 20 again. no scars, no marks, no signs of aging, and her long hair back to being below her shoulder instead of being below her tailbone. She slowly touches her face to make sure she wasn't dreaming that she went from being 28 to 20 "What the..." She whispers. (Name) tries to remember the last thing she was doing.

"MAMA!"

(Name) gasps and stumbles back into the wall remembering what happened "Cali..." She says tearing up, the pain of losing her daughter as well as her love slamming into her like a freight train once again, She clutches her shirt above her heart breathing heavily "No...no, not my baby" She says as tears flood her eyes again and sob into her hands, her shoulders shaking with every movement. She shakingly wiped her eyes trying to fight the oncoming tears as she turned her eyes around the room trying to calm herself from the panic attack that was bound to come when she noticed something missing.

where were Bi-Han's clothes and Wrist guards?

Momentarily distracted she pushes off the wall gently and takes a step forward towards the wall the clothes and wrist guards were meant to be but the wall was bare "What the fuck? What the hell is going on?" She asks no one then she notices that her PlayStation 4 is still on and the TV is showing her the gaming screen for Mortal Kombat X. The last game she played before...

She had a pause in her thoughts when she noticed something. The last time she attempted to play there was a character on screen wearing a dark grey ninja suit that had no sleeves and cut off at her mid-thighs, she wore black handless gloves that started 2 inches below her shoulder, dark red/brown 2 inched knee high heeled boots, a red sash around her mid-section and a mask like Mileenas' except in red and black in a pattern where the red forms into triangles at the top and black ones at the bottom making them look like fangs, her hair was tied into a tight low braid.

She wasn't there anymore.

"That's...That's not right," She said as she picked up the controller, looking at her unscathed and uncalloused hands for a moment, and went through the characters quickly. She couldn't find the woman who looked like her "This doesn't..." Her eyes widen at the thought "No...no it's not possible" she says as she quickly dashed to her desk tearing through her games to find Mortal Kombat 9. She finds it and changes the disks in her Playstation 4 and quickly goes through story mode. To her shock, she's not in the game like she was last time. it's all changed back to the way it was before she went to the Mortal Kombat universe. (Name) becomes confused and irritated "I don't understand! This isn't right! I'm supposed to be right there! But I'm not it's like I didn't-" (Name) 's eyes widen as she remembers something.

"I must restart the timeline. I am sorry"

Liu Kang's last words ring in her mind as an ice-cold feeling washes over her "-Like I was never there" She whispers. Her grip loosens on her Controller allowing it to fall to the ground and clatter. Her hands shook lightly at the cold realization of what Liu Kang did and she clenched her eyes shut as she recalled everything she had done for their universe, all the friends she made, the people she loved everyone.

GoNe

She opened her eyes with a fire lit within them as she stood up straight and wiped her eyes before looking around the room and taking in all the Mortal Kombat memorabilia with a glare. She grits her teeth as she grabs a box from under her bed and marches towards the PlayStation. She tossed the Mortal Kombat Games into her box, carelessly, threw in the comics, chucked in the mask replicas and action figures, and ripped down the posters with anger. one she was done her room was empty of the things that once brought her joy now serving as a reminder of what she had lost.

The scene changes to the outside of a trading shop and then switches to the inside of the shop looking at the door. The door opened revealing (Name) stepping into the shop with the box of Mortal Kombat merchandise. The trade shop was a fantastical wonderland of rare games and vintage collectibles. From the outside, it had an inviting, if slightly worn, façade with painted windows displaying a variety of out-of-date gaming wares. Inside, the shelves were filled with memorabilia from some of the oldest and most beloved games from a variety of genres: from the classic Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, and Spyro the Dragon, to the more recent Assassin's Creed franchise.

The walls were adorned with replica swords, guns, and other weaponry from some of the most popular games, making the shop appear as if it were the set of a medieval movie. Cosplayers often stopped by to pick up some of the rare finds the shop had, and the shop produced a steady stream of customers in costumes of their favorite characters.

In one corner of the shop was a large cabinet full of vintage arcade consoles. From Pac-Man and Donkey Kong to Galaga and Space Invaders - these were the original machines some grew up with, decades ago.

All in all, the shop acted as a hub of nostalgia, bringing back memories of days spent playing classic games, sharing snacks with friends, and simply spending time with the ones we love. Even if the prices weren't always the cheapest, it was still worth every penny to be able to experience these games and memorabilia all over again.

(Name) almost smiled at the memories of the times she'd come her over the years but quickly she the thought from her head and walked the the front desk (Name) walked into the trade shop and up to the worker behind the counter. She set down a box full of Mortal Kombat memorabilia.

The worker raised his eyebrows "Hey, (Name), Selling your stuff, huh?" he asked as (Name) smiled softly "Yeah. I don't want it anymore" She said as the worker examined the box of many items. He picked up a rare Liu Kang figure and held it up, looking it over "You know this stuff is worth a lot,' he said, looking at her over the box. (Name) nodded. "I know. That's why I'm here" She replied.

The worker set the Liu Kang figure down, (Name) silently glaring at it, and opened the register "How much do you want for it all?" He asks "Two thousand dollars" She replies knowing its value. The worker's eyes widened "That's a lot, but I guess if you don't want them..." He counted out the money and handed it to (Name) "Here you go"

(Name) smiled and put the money in her pocket "Thanks. I'm done with this stuff now" The worker nodded "No problem. But if you ever need any more memorabilia, I'll be happy to help you out" He said smiling. (Name) thanked him and left the shop. As she walked away, she thought back on the times she spent in their universe.

"I swear, on everything I have left, with every fiber of my being"

A single key chain hangs out of the box, a Mortal Kombat medallion, and as the door to the trade shop closes behind her the screen turns black.

"I will never have anything to do with Mortal Kombat again"

The End

(hey guys this is the ending of this book and it'll take a while for me to get MK1 off the ground but only because i need to either write or find the transcripts for the game. I might be thinking of making an under the red hood x reader one like this. Hope you all have a wonderful day until next time!)

Mortal Kombat 11 x reader: Chapter 16 Visions of an empire

The scene cuts to an elaborate-looking bedroom somewhere in Outworld. Sindel is seated on a comfortable-looking armchair and is using some kind of talisman to generate what could be described as the magical equivalent of a hologram, and that hologram shows Shang Tsung is whom she is speaking.

"We will rendezvous at the Isle of Kronika. The fools believe victory is at hand. Their misplaced confidence will be their demise" Shang Tsung says smirking "Such a pity my daughter embraces their sentimental values" Says Sindel "Having second thoughts, Sindel?" Shang Tsung asked "Hardly. Kitana courts a peasant and obeys the Thunder God. She couldn't be a bigger disappointment" She says disgusted "One can only imagine. The Isle... do not be late. An eternal empire awaits you"

Sindel pauses for a moment "....What of (Name) and Calithea? Are...Are they both safe" She asked sounding genuinely worried. Shang Tsung looks at her surprised slightly "...You worry for their safety as well?" He asks "That woman was the one to kill me when she had no training I respect her As for Calithea...she is of my blood" She replies looking away, dismissing the fact that Kitana was of her blood as well "I understand" Shang Tsung replied. In his mind, he too worries for them both not only for their disadvantage but for the little girl. yes, he was evil but a part of him worried for the little girl who, without him creating Mileena, wouldn't exist. In a way, he cared for her in a maternal way.

He waves a hand and the hologram disperses. Sindel smiles wickedly to herself, but promptly changes her expression to a regal indifference when she hears a knock on her door "Enter" She says. Kitana opens the door and walks into the room. Sindel immediately gets off her armchair and bows to her.

"Kitana Kahn," Said Sindel "Oh, don't be so formal, mother," Kitana said smiling "You are Kahn, Kitana. Command the awe of your subjects...even me" Her expression changes to a (seemingly) warm smile "Ah, I shall never tire of greeting you" Said Sindel "Nor will I tire of calling on you" Kitana's smile is genuine, which seems to amuse Sindel.

"Our battalion is leaving for the Sea of Blood. Queen Sheeva and the Shokan will follow as rear guards.

Sindel walks up to a dressing table and drops her talisman in a drawer, away from Kitana's eyes. As she closes the drawer, Sindel calculates her next move "May I request something?" She asks "Mother, you don't have to--"

Sindel looks over to her daughter, silently reminding Kitana of her earlier words. Kitana takes the hint, replying in a more formal tone "Make your request" "Sheeva... Queen Sheeva risked everything to restore me. Honour demands that I accompany her into battle" Sindel replied "Yes, it does. And that display of loyalty is sure to rally the Shokan's spirits"

Sindel walks up to Kitana and performs another bow, this time going down onto one knee before her "Thank you, Kitana Kahn"

Kitana reaches out her hand. Sindel takes it and gracefully gets back to her feet. Her daughter throws her arms around her in a loving embrace... but Sindel's face, now it is no longer visible by Kitana, shows nothing but cold contempt.

The scene cuts to the underground dungeons of the Outworld Koliseum. Two Shokan walk into the prison room of a large, severely beaten and bloodied, but still monstrous-looking humanoid with draconic arms. As the camera zooms in, we see that this monster is the former Emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn.

He holds out a hand in front of him as if trying to find his bearings. His eyes are dripping with blood and are blackened. The injuries caused by Kitana's fans in their climactic battle have left him blind.

Sindel approaches the prison cell as the two Shokan begin beating Shao Kahn offscreen. He struggles to stand, but they continue to rain down heavy punches on him "Hah! Doesn't know when to quit. Let's finish him" Said one of the Shokan.

The Shokan pulls out four knives from his belt, brandishing one in each of his arms. Before he can do anything else, a banshee scream echoes out from behind him, instantly flaying the skin off both him and his companion. As the guards fall over, killed instantly from the shock, Sindel walks into the cell. Shao looks up and reaches out a hand in front of him.

"Wife. It's you" He said in shock "Hush, husband. I'm here" Sindel said as she walked to him, kneeled, and, embraced him "The Soul Chamber will heal your wounds. Then we'll discipline Kitana and take back our throne"

"Empress?"

Sindel looks around in shock. Sheeva approaches the prison cell from behind her.

"Tell me I misheard. Tell me you would not betray your daughter" She says in disbelief. Sindel stands up and turns to face Sheeva, walking out of the cell "She takes after her father, Sheeva. Jerrod was a weak king, Kitana is a weaker Kahn" Said Sindel sneering "Weak?! She defeated Shao Kahn!" Sheeve barked.

They begin to circle one another "Yet she lacked the resolve to kill him! Now she will learn; enemies must be crushed, lest they rise again" Said Sindel.

"That was true once. But now there is a better way to lead"

They fight. Although Sheeva is strong, fast, and skilled enough in kombat to face Sindel, she ends up being conflicted in facing the woman she dedicated her life to. With no such qualms of her own to battle with, Sindel ruthlessly presses the advantage, managing to overwhelm the Shokan queen and beat her unconscious.

"Elder Gods tremble before me, Sheeva. What hope did you have?"

Moments later, three Shokan males and two females run into the dungeons. They spot the broken body of their queen on the ground and start growling in anger, looking directly at Sindel. Sindel doesn't panic, instead pointing back at the prison cell.

"Kitana murdered your Shokan brethren. Sheeva challenged her and suffered this punishment" She said her lies as natural as breathing.

She calmly walks around them, letting her words sink in "Swear your allegiance and I shall see her avenged!"

The Shokan considered her words. Amazingly, despite having no evidence to back up her audacious claim, one of the Shokan males bows to her in submission. The others follow suit soon after, leaving Sindel smiling victoriously.

The scene cuts to the Soul Chamber. Shao Kahn floats within it, letting its energies heal his body. Sindel stands watching, smiling to herself. Eventually, the former Emperor of Outworld steps out of the chamber, bending down to pick up his skull-faced helmet, which he dons once again.

Sindel walks up to Shao and throws her arms around him. He returns the gesture with surprising tenderness "Wife, I have missed you" He says as he caresses her hair while she brings her hand to his cheek (or rather, the side of his helmet) "If Quan Chi were here, I'd hoist him by the ankles and split him through for all the time he stole from us" He said "Soon we will have the Hourglass. Eternity will be our empire" She said sweetly.

Both of them share smiles of equal glee. Shao Kahn takes Sindel's hand on his own and places her head on his chest "We'll have all the time we need" He says.

Shao Kahn pauses for a moment "We must find a little worm as well. She is the mother of our-" "Grandchild. Yes, I've met them both" Shao Kahn's eyes widen "You've met our grandchild?" He almost whispers causing Sindel to smile fondly "Her name is Calithea. She's perfect. Hair as black as the night, eyes that gleam as beautifully as gold, and sunkissed skin. Her teeth have sharp little canines" She said. Shao Kahn's eyes soften for a moment "She sounds like Mileena" He says fondly for a brief moment in time is soft.

As they embrace, a tornado of sand rises in the Soul Chamber, and Geras steps out from it. He approaches the two of them "Shao Kahn, Sindel. Come with me. Kronika has need of you" He says "Kronika?! Where was she when Kitana stole my throne? We'll make her choke on her empty promises" Shao Kahn growled

"Allow me the privilege, husband," Sindel said confidently "It will be mine to watch you punish him," Shao Kahn said. Sindel walks forward, facing Geras down "Your maker sends you to die, Geras"

"As she has done billions of times before. Each time, the perfection of her design grows closer"

They fight. Even Sindel, with all of her magical power, finds a challenging foe in Geras. Every time he is blasted or knocked down, the construct rises again. But in turn, Geras is unable to find an opening in Sindel's relentless barrage, and after a long battle, the Empress floors him.

"All that grows closer is her defeat, Geras"

She unleashes a banshee scream that pushes Geras back, sending him rolling across the chamber. He lands hard at Shao Kahn's feet and she walks over to join him.

Geras once again tries to rise to his feet, but Sindel walks up to him and unleashes another banshee scream, targeted directly at his head. Geras screams in pain and is blown across the room once more. Shao Kahn strides over to him, summons his Warhammer, and smashes Geras across the top of his skull, splitting part of it open and exposing his brain. Shao slams the hammer down on his head again, sending his helmet bouncing across the chamber.

As Sindel walks up to them, Shao Kahn smashes the hammer on Geras' head twice more, drawing large splatters of blood. We get a glimpse of Geras' face, and he looks a mess - his skull has been caved in and one of his eyes has been popped out of his head, and he holds up a hand as if to try and beg Shao Kahn to stop. But Shao hammers down on him again, scalping the top of his skull and fully exposing his brain. Shao swings his hammer over his head once last time and brings it down, and this swing utterly crushes the remnants of Geras' head, turning it into pulp, skull fragments, blood, and brain matter.

Sindel walks up to Shao and takes his arm "A thousand years, and you haven't lost a step" He says as she looks up to him and smiles wickedly.

The scene cuts to Kronika's Keep. Kronika floats in the air toward the Hourglass, accompanied by the revenants Liu Kang and Kitana.

"Now Shao Kahn turns against us?" Liu Kang said angrily "Perhaps we should send the fleet" Kitana replied. Kronika floats up toward the Hourglass "No" She says as she begins to manipulate the sands within using her magic "Shao Kahn and Sindel have unwittingly given us back the advantage. Their army will battle Raiden's for possession of my crown, weakening them both" She said "Then we crush what remains of them with strength to spare" Said Kitana "The crown, once again, will be mine. When it is, the New Era will begin" Said Kronika.

Meanwhile down below (Name), who is cradling a deep sleeping Calithea, stares at the past self, who stares right back, as she sits a good meter away from her also chained to the floor "Oh...This is-" "Freaky like Friday" Past (Name) says finishing off her future self's sentence "Now we know how everyone else felt" " (Name) nods and looks down "I...I don't even know what the hell's going to happen" She said "No kidding otherwise you'd have gotten out of here by now" Her past self says snarky causing her to frown "Don't start with me asshole" "I am starting with you because you could have prevented this" "Oh sure I could have stopped Kronika from kidnapping us just like I could have stopped Kotal from getting hurt" (Name) says sarcastically making her past self look at her closely "Helped Kotal?" She questioned making (Name) look up at her with pain filled eyes "....How long have you been here?...in this timeline?" Her pas self asked ".....We showed up...When-" "Who's we?" "Will you give me a fucking minute you impatient cunt?" She snapped "...We, meaning Fujin, Nightwolf...and Shang Tsung, got here during Kitanas fight at the Koliseum" Her past self's eyes widened in shock before turning into a heavy glare "....Talk. Now"

The scene cuts to the Netherrealm shores. Kharon's ships are readying to navigate the Sea of Blood. On one of those ships, Nightwolf, Jacqui and the younger Jax Briggs are sailing off alongside numerous soldiers from the Special Forces. Jax and Jacqui salute Cassie Cage, who is watching from the docks. As she returns the salute, some other Special Forces soldiers walk onto a ship still waiting in the docks. Another person walks up behind Cassie, easily recognizable by his open jacket and the tattoo across his chest that spells out his name.

"Captain Cage, reporting for duty, sir! Uh, I mean ma'am" He said as he saluted her (with an informal two fingers to his head). Cassie looks a little surprised at the sight of the younger Johnny before her, but she smiles at him nonetheless.

"Woah there, Nineties Dad. You've already got one bullet wound too many" She said smiling "I'm healed, Cassie. Raiden gave me one of his "Thunder Hands" massages" He flexes his fingers, attempting to imitate what a massage might look like. Cassie shakes her head in amusement "Speaking of, where is Mama Bear?"

Cassie points along the dock "She's over there, waiting for Sheeva at the rendezvous. But we cast off in five. Where are they?"

The camera cuts to Sonya standing along with a group of S-F soldiers on the beachside. A portal opens up before them. All of them, along with Cassie and Johnny, watch it with suspicion. That proves to be validated, as Shokan warriors suddenly pour out of the portal, charging toward the soldiers with battle cries.

"No... no!" Cassie yelled

The soldiers immediately open fire with their assault rifles, cutting down a few Shokan, but one leaps into the air and smacks a female soldier down to the ground. He finishes her with a stomp that crushes her head.

Sonya pulls out her service pistols and opens fire. The soldiers continue to concentrate their fire, downing more Shokan, but they keep charging, heedless of the bullets tearing into them. Several leaps into the lines of soldiers, either outright crushing them with their jumps or finishing them by pounding them into the ground.

Sonya cuts down two Shokan females with unwavering accuracy and shoots at a male Shokan leaping at her, but he survives the barrage and lands at her feet, grabbing her wrists with two of his arms. She rolls backward, using his momentum to leg-throw him over her head. As he rises, she shoots him once in the back and then points blank in the face, finally killing him. She immediately turns around and puts two bullets into the chest of another charging Shokan, finishing with a headshot that makes his head explode.

Yet another Shokan charges her. She shoots him in the chest multiple times, but the bullets do not faze him. He grapples her but she manages to hip-throw him to one side, plugging his chest with more bullets. A fourth Shokan gets in range and tries to punch her, but she pulls out her energy piano wire and entangles one of his wrists and neck with it. She kicks him in the crotch to double him over and pulls hard on the wire, trapping his arm and wrist. Sonya then vaults over the Shokan, launching a kick on another Shokan who she shoots at point-blank range with her energy gauntlets. On the third blast, she blows a hole straight through his stomach.

"Try that on me!"

Sonya turns to see Shao Kahn leaping at her with his Warhammer raised. She dodges backward just in time but is suddenly kicked in the head by Sindel, knocking her out. The two of them walk over to her unconscious form.

"What a fine trophy for my arena!" He boasted. Cassie and Johnny run across the beach up to them "We doing this by gender, or is that sexist?" He asked making Cassie roll her eyes at this remark "Just zip it and try not to die" She replied "Enough prattle, fools! You will bow and serve the Empire" Shao Kahn demanded "Make us, you authoritarian asshole!" Cassie barked back.

"Deal with the jester. I'll school this unruly child" He said to his wife. Sindel smiles and beckons Johnny to her. He immediately rushes her, and while they fight offscreen, Cassie and Shao circle each other "You school me? Y'know I toasted Shinnok, right?" Cassie bragged

"Ha! Shinnok schemed because he was worthless in battle. That you beat him only proves that truth"

They fight. Unlike in her battle against Shinnok, Cassie is unable to bring her true superpower to bear. With this limitation, she cannot match the might of Shao Kahn, who is quick to overpower and defeat her.

"Now you understand true power"

Following this, Shao immediately charges Johnny and shoulder barges him, sending him skidding backward. Johnny rests on a nearby rock. He looks over, spots both Sonya and Cassie down and out, and struggles back to his feet, clearly upset.

"The poor man is heartbroken" Sindel teases "Why waste tears on weaklings?" SHao Kahn smirks causing Johny to Glare at them both "Those women are braver and stronger than FIFTY of you put together! Okay, bozos!" He throws off his sunglasses and readies himself "No jokes, no gimmicks, just kombat. You wanna get nuts? Ho ho, let's get nuts!

"May I finish this?" Sindel Asks Shao Kahn "By all means" He hoists his warhammer over his shoulder as Sindel approaches Johnny.

"Every fight I've fought, I've fought for myself. But this one? THIS one's for my family!" Johnny says determined

"You poor pathetic man"

They fight. In spite of his best efforts, fighting for his family does not enable the younger Johnny to unlock his hidden power. Without it, he is unable to match Sindel's magic prowess and fighting ability. She soon manages to overpower him and leave him beaten on the ground.

"You're in luck, Johnny Cage"

As he struggles to get to his feet, Sindel approaches him "In my care, you and Sonya will breed many fine slaves" She wraps her hair around his neck and drags him across the ground, finally stopping by Shao Kahn. As she lets him loose, he falls over unconscious. Sindel places a hand on her husband's chest "Shall we?"

The scene cuts to Kronika' keep where Past (Name) is trying to take in the information that her present self has just told her "So let me get this straight...Shang Tsung, the evil sorcerer, is helping your Liu Kang, who is a god of fire and thunder and technically merged with Raiden, to fix time by getting Kronika's crown back...have I got it right?" (Name) nods "Pretty much....It's a lot to take in I know but it's the truth" She looks down at Calithea, still asleep in her mother's lap "To be honest...I don't know why he is helping us but I'm starting to think there may be some good in him" "Are you nuts!?" Her past self bawks.

"That evil son of a bitch Has never done a good deed in his life without a motive behind it! Why the hell do you think he'd ever help anyone for no reason!? He's a terrible person just like Shao Kahn, Kronika, Cetrion, and Raiden! They don't deserve any more chances! For all the pain they put us through, the suffering, the heartbreak, the absolute grief they all need to DIE!" Her past self yelled and began panting trying to calm down. Calithea stirred a bit in her sleep from the yelling but remained asleep. (Name) looks at her past self and remains silent for a few moments "....When did we become like this?" She asked her past self. Her past self slowly began breathing normally and looked at her future self confused "What? Become like what?" she asked. (Name) looked her past self in the eyes "When did we become so hate-filled?"

The scene cuts to the beach. The Shokans have managed to overpower the Special Forces and are in the process of beating and carting off the survivors and throwing the dead onto a giant bonfire. Shao Kahn points to the last of Kharon's ships "Seize the vessel and dump its cargo! We need speed to overtake Kharon's fleet!" He ordered. A large portal opens up before him. Several Shokan drags the surviving soldiers into it. Among them are Johnny, Cassie, and Sonya.

The scene cuts to the Sea of Blood, among the flagship of Kharon's fleet containing the Outworld army. The other two flagships are nowhere in sight. On the ship deck, Kitana speaks with Liu Kang and Kung Lao.

"Raiden and Fujin have gone ahead to storm the Isle, but we've lost all contact with our rear guard. Commander Cage and the Special Forces, Queen Sheeva and the Shokan... and Mother" Kitana said "I am just going to say what we are all thinking--" "She did not betray us" Kitana interrupts Kung Lao. Liu Kang quickly steps in between them before they come to blows "Let's not jump to conclusions" He said.

He spots something in the distance "Look!" He says as he walks to the port side of the ship and points out. Kung Lao and Kitana follow his gaze and spot the rearguard ships "Is that the Special Forces?" Asked Kung Lao. Kitana looks at the ships through a spyglass "No..." She says in disbelief as she pulls the spyglass down. Even with her face partially obscured by her battle mask, she looks livid "Elder Gods damn you, Mother!"

The scene cuts to Kronika's Keep. The Titan of Time continues to manipulate the sands in the Hourglass. As she looks into the sand, she smiles with glee.

"Kill each other"

Both (Name)s are just staring at each other not listening to Kronika or the other revenants "What did you say?" Past (Name) whispers in disbelief "When did we become so hate-filled?" (Name) repeated herself "Do you remember what we were like when we first showed up? We were 18 years old when we first came to this world. We loved being there for our, soon to be, friends. We fought for them" "We didn't have a choice! The fucking elder gods brought us here to fight for no fucking reason!" "They did it to bring us out of our shell and it worked" "Bullshit! If they didn't bring us here then nothing would have changed! the story would be the same as we knew it!" "That's not true" "Oh wake up! Our friends still died! Mileena still died! we still lost people! nothing! Fucking! Changed!" Her past self yelled causing the revenants to listen in on their conversation "...Being brought here...was a mistake..." His past self said with sorrow. (Name) was quiet for a few minutes "...Is Calithea a mistake too?" She asked.

The scene cuts to the Sea of Blood - this time, underwater. A two-pronged spear falls into the bottomless depths, followed by the corpse of a Tarkatan, then a Shokan. As we pan up to one of the ships, another dead soldier falls into the sea, followed by two Shokan, and as the camera breaks through the water another body falls in directly in front of it.

On the ship deck, a Shokan throws a soldier overboard, and the camera pans up to see an outright brawl between the Shokan, Tarkatans, and Outworld loyalists. While Jade fends off a Shokan with her staff, Kitana stabs a Shokan through the sternum with her Bladed fans, stabs him a few more times in his side and the side of his head and then finishes him with a throat slice, kicking him away.

Another Shokan charges in, but Kitana catches his swing, ducks under another punch, and slices across his chest. The camera pans over to Jade, who knocks a Shokan back with a swipe of her staff, then charges in while he is staggered. It then pans to Liu Kang knocking down three Shokan and charging him with nunchukau strikes to their heads. Behind him, a plank slams down onto the ship, allowing more Shokan to board. One immediately jumps onto a Tarkatan and starts pounding him to death, and Sindel and Shao Kahn stroll onto the ship behind him.

Sindel punches a charging Outworld soldier and kicks him down, while Shao clubs another in the stomach with his warhammer and smashes him across the deck "Now... where is Kitana?" She asks "No doubt the little princess is hiding" Shao Kahn replies.

On the other side of the ship, a Tarkatan swipes at a Shokan, who easily catches his blow and punches him. As the Tarkatan reels, time slows down as a bladed hat flies over his head and straight through the neck of the Shokan, decapitating him and three more of his brethren. The hat is then caught... by Sindel. Kung Lao walks toward them, ignoring the fighting occurring around him "Nobody is hiding, Shao Kahn. Not after your epic failure at the Koliseum," He said as he looked over at Sindel "That belongs to me, Sindel" "Have it She replied.

She throws the hat straight back at him, bladed edge first. Kung Lao catches it, but it cuts into his hand, causing him to wince in pain. He nonetheless puts it back on his head, looking quite annoyed. He flexes his bloodied hand and continues walking toward them "I hope you have more than that for the heir of the Great Kung Lao"

Shao Kahn turns to Sindel "He and I have unfinished business" "I'll find Kitana" She says and she walks off, leaving them alone "It's a pity the time merger disrupted the tournament. I was about to snap your neck" Shao Kahn boasted "Why? Because you were afraid to face me head-on?"

"I fear nothing, monk"

They fight. Even with his speed and skill in battle, Kung Lao's arrogance gets the better of him in his fight with Shao Kahn. The former Emperor of Outworld powers through his defenses and brings his overbearing strength to bear, swiftly beating the Shaolin monk to the deck floor. With Kung Lao down, Shao Kahn de-summons his hammer and walks over to him.

"You're a disgrace to your line. Kung Lao, snapping your neck would be too easy for you"

He grabs him by the back of his shirt and hoists him up "Tell me, did your masters teach you to swim?" He heaves to one side and throws Kung Lao overboard. Lao only has time for one last scream before he splashes into the Sea of Blood offscreen. Shao looks on in satisfaction until he hears Sindel's voice beckoning him "Come, Kitana awaits"

On the other side of the ship, Kitana stabs a Shokan in his side, kicks him in the leg and then in the face, following through with a roundhouse kick. Behind her, Kotal slices a Shokan across the stomach with his sickle and stabs him straight through the face. He slices him twice more and shoulder barges him away. Kotal then slashes a female Shokan charging him, stabs her through the chest and then the side of her head, snapping her neck in the same motion.

Behind him, Liu Kang kicks a male Shokan away, then hits another male and a female in the face with his nunchaku, pushing them back. Another Shokan charges in but eats a nunchuk to the face, knocking him back. To the side, Jade batters a female Shokan with her staff, hitting her in the leg and face, then leaping in the air to slam the staff down onto her spine and finishing with a back swipe that floors her.

As the Shokan drops to the deck, Shao Kahn and Sindel walk up to her and Kotal. Wordlessly, Shao points at Kotal with his Warhammer, while Sindel glares at Jade and charges. Jade swipes at her with her staff but Sindel parries the blows. Kotal readies his sickles and charges Shao, swinging his weapons. Shao blocks several strikes with his hammer and then goes on the offensive, swinging wildly. Kotal blocks his swings but is forced back by their sheer power of them.

Shao Kahn swings his hammer overhead, prompting Kotal to block with both sickles. He manages it but is forced to his knees. Shao takes advantage by planting his knee into Kotal's kidney, and with Kotal stunned, Shao swings the hammer and nails Kotal directly in his spine. As Kotal reels in pain, Shao swings the hammer in a back swipe and smashes Kotal across the face, knocking the sickle from his hands and sending him to his knees.

Jade spots Kotal in trouble and tries to intervene, but this gives Sindel the opening she needs and she wraps her hair around Jade's neck. As Shao smashes Kotal with his hammer one more time, knocking him out, Sindel lifts Jade into the air and slams her down on the deck so hard that she breaks through the decking, falling into the ship hold below.

Kitana walks up to Sindel. She has since lost her battle mask, and we can see her face is etched with pure horror "Please, Mother, what spell has Shao Kahn used on you this time?" Kitana pleads with her mother. Liu Kang walks up behind her in the midst of the conversation "Naive girl, your mother is not bewitched. She never has been" Shao Kahn mocked "She had a husband! And a kingdom! And YOU took them away!" Kitna yelled.

Sindel laughs at the accusation. Shao Kahn nonchalantly punches a charging Tarkatan without even looking at him, knocking him out. He turns away to beat another Tarkatan with his hammer while Sindel starts walking toward her.

"Oh, Kitana. My first husband - your father - was a fool. Jerrod believed that we were no better than commoners. He refused to assert the privileges of our throne. He traded away our powers, our diving rights. Edenia grew weak and vulnerable" Sindel laughed.

Kitana takes in these words with increasing anger. Sindel continues to stride forward while Shao Kahn flattens any attacking Tarkatan and Outworld soldier near him "Then Shao Kahn invaded, embracing his power, taking what was his. Here was a man unashamed to assert his privilege and who vowed to protect mine" She says with a smirk. Having finished beating up everyone around him, Shao walks back to join Sindel's side, proudly slinging his hammer over his shoulder "I had found my true love" She states.

Liu Kang looks on, disgusted at her words, while Kitana seems to be entering a tranquil fury. Sindel places a hand on Shao's shoulder "And to consecrate our bond... I killed Jerrod for him" Kitana's eyes widen in horror "You love Shao Kahn more than your own daughter?" Liu Kang asked disgusted "Let the women be, Chosen One" Shao Kahn said boldly and he pointed his hammer at Liu Kang "You owe me kombat"

Shao Kahn swings his Warhammer at Liu Kang, forcing him to backpedal. As they fight offscreen, Kitana stares down her mother with contempt "You should have stayed dead" Kitana says with venom in her tone "Please, that wounds me, daughter" Sindel says mockingly.

"I am prepared to do much worse"

They fight. In spite of Sindel's magical power and skill, Kitana proves to be a worthy challenge for Sindel. She fights with a ferocity unseen, using all of her speed, skill, and agility to her fullest. But even this is not enough to overcome her mother. Sindel manages to weather Kitana's assault and weaken her with her own magic, eventually bringing her own strength to bear. After a fierce battle, Sindel leaves her daughter a bloodied and broken mess on the ship deck.

"Learn or be punished, child"

Meanwhile with Shao Kahn and Liu Kang at the same time as the fight.

"It is my destiny to defeat you, Shao Kahn" Liu Kang states confidently "Yours is to grovel before me, boy! After we kill Kronika, that will be everyone's destiny" Shao Kahn says.

"Even for you, that is madness!"

They fight. The Shaolin monk proves to be the fight of Shao Kahn's life, as he has never before found an opponent who can outmatch him in sheer martial ability. But for all of Liu Kang's speed and skill, the confines of the ship work against him and he is unable to escape Shao Kahn's assault. Pressing the advantage, Shao Kahn uses his pure brute force to overpower Liu Kang and leave him face down on the deck, beaten.

"It is genius, you pathetic fool!"

Shao Kahn drags Liu Kang's beaten body over to Sindel, who is holding an equally beaten Kitana by her shoulder. Not long afterward, the Shokan, Tarkatan, and Outworld soldiers still fighting each other gradually draw themselves to a halt. Shao Kahn steps in front of them, pointing to Kitana "Kitana was a false Kahn, a traitor to Outworld! She conspired with Raiden to lead you astray!" Shoa Kahn shouted "He seeks Kronika's power. Why? To destroy the Empire! All who followed Kitana are complicit in her treason. Your sentence is death" Says Sindel

The Tarkatans and soldiers slowly take in these words. Shao Kahn holds a finger in the air "But... we will grant clemency now, and riches in the New Era to all who renounce Kitana and fight under our command" He continues. The Shokan started to chant Shao's name. After a few chants, the Tarkatans and soldiers join in as well. Sindel points to the ship deck "Now man the oars, we have a battle to win! For the New Era!" Sindel commands.

The Outworlders all erupt in cheers. Sindel drops Kitana to the deck, taking in their praise alongside Shao Kahn. Behind them, Liu Kang outstretches his hand towards Kitana as a way to try to comfort his dear friend. Tearfully, she tries to pull herself closer to him, her friend that she could always rely on, but just as they are about to touch fingers, Shao Kahn steps on Liu Kang's hand, crushing it and causing him to scream in pain. Both he and Sindel look down on Liu Kang, relishing in his suffering.

"Kitana shall be put in chains. Let her suffer the anguish of defeat. And what of him" Sindel asked. Shao Kahn says nothing but summons his Warhammer, his eyes flaring up in glee and a sadistic smile on his face.

The scene cuts to the beach of Kronika's Keep. Dead oni are strewn about the place, as the alliance of the Special Forces and Shaolin Monks walks toward the Keep. Leading them are Shang Tsung, Raiden, Nightwolf, Fujin, Young Jax, Jacqui, and Old Jax.

Calithea VS Others (None of Calithea's battles are for Kombat but for play fighting so there are no fatalities per say more like friendships) entrance: a medium-sized size ball made of leather stitched together rolls across the floor, a bell inside it making it jingle, with Calithea chasing it while giggling when she stops picking it up and looks to the 'opponent' if she's talking first she tilts her head smiling. if she is talking second/ replying she speaks gently puts the ball down off to the side and bounces ready to 'fight'.

'Fatality 1# 'deadly' bite: She launches at the 'opponent' her sharp canines beared and tackles them to the ground and nibbles them on their neck pretending to eat them. She giggles as the opponent plays dead and she stands on their belly with her arms raised over her head in 'victory'

'Fatality' 2# Tinder love: She lifts her hands and pretends to set the opponent on fire by running up to them and placing it on their leg (since she's below knee height) and says "Woosh! you're on fire now!" The opponent playfully pretends to burn to death while slowly dropping to the floor.

Victory pose: She giggles running around in a circle, with her arms out like airplane wings, before spinning on the spot and posing with her arms in the air, hands lit with fire, her right leg lifted off the ground and her left leg on the ground on her tip toes with a big smile on her face. Little embers float around her in slow motion as her giggle rings out.

Friendship Drawn to me: She giggles plops her butt on the floor pulls out crayons and paper from out of nowhere and begins drawing with various colors for a bit before showing the drawing. It's of her and whoever her opponent is as stick figures and scribbles holding hands with smiles. She giggles and flexes her toes happily.

(Also I should clear up something. I noticed that I had Calithea, at the start, calling (Name) mommy and Mileena mama but somewhere I changed that to (Name) being a mama and Mileena being Mommy and I am sorry but I won't be changing it in the storyline because it will give people false update notifications and it would take too long for me to go through it. Again sorry for any confusion)

Mortal Kombat 11 x reader: Chapter 15 Winds Of Change

The scene cuts to Shang Tsung's island. Shang Tsung, Sindel, Fujin, (Name), and Nightwolf all walk through the passage leading to the main courtyard.

As they approach the end of the passage, they pause to gaze upon the grisly sight of 5 corpses hanging from the rafters. The corpses are Shaolin monks, hanged by their necks. Their skin is horrifically decayed but has not yet completely rotted away, leaving their eyes intact but a dull yellow-gray. Shang Tsung looks at them with an expression of - for a change, genuine - remorse "They couldn't go on. I am… touched by their devotion" He says as one of the rotted monks' eyes falls from its head and lands on the floor. Sindel walks on, unimpressed. Shang follows her, still upset, while Nightwolf looks doubtful. Fujin remains impassive. (Name) unbothered but grateful her daughter was asleep "I question their judgment" Nightwolf says "Have neither of you any compassion?" Shang Tsung questions "Not for fools who follow you" Nightwolf replied "Are we not following him now? At least we do not follow that fool Raiden. Then we would surely die" Sindel retorts

Shang smiles at the remark. Nightwolf and Fujin exchange glances of suspicion at her words "She's not wrong" (Name) said as she walked beside Sindel who smiled at her and petted Calithea's hair. Fujin understood where she was coming from. As they walk out into the courtyard, a purple blur of light speeds around them all, moving in a circle to box them in. After a moment, Fujin shoots out a wind blast in front of him, catching the blur and shoving it back. The revenant - now identifiable as Kabal - slides to a kneeling halt. He picks himself up and approaches them.

"Kabal?" (Name) says making him look at her "Hey, babe, been a while," He said smirking under the mask before Fujin guided her behind himself "You may run like the wind, Kabal, but I command it. You should have devised a better plan" He stated. Kabal sneered under the mask at the god "There's more to come" He said.

From behind a wall, the revenant Jade emerges. She approaches the four of them and slams her staff into the ground. She picks it up and twirls it over her head, generating green energy in a circle above her. She once again slams the staff into the ground, and The green energy pulses from it in shockwaves into the surrounding area.

"Rise in Shinnok's name!" She calls

The energy reaches the hanging corpses from earlier, which suddenly revive and start freeing themselves from the ropes they are hanging from. One corpse's flesh is so rotted that it decapitates itself before it can free its neck, but this does not inhibit the rest of the body from standing up along with the others.

The Shaolin zombies, along with five others from the surrounding area, approach Fujin, Nightwolf, Shang Tsung, (Name), and Sindel, growling at them with vocal cords long rotted away and surround them in a semi-circle. Sindel turns to Shang Tsung and glares "Keep my daughter and granddaughter out of the fight! If anything happens to them you'll suffer a fate worse than death!" She growled surprising them but Shang Tsung nodded. Jade also walks up to them, pointing her staff in their direction "You will be returned to the void. Not even she can help you" Jade taunted

The Shaolin monks roar and charge. Nightwolf parries one's strikes and kicks, while Shang Tsung Quickly opens a portal beneath (Name) making her drop into it, He then blocks swipes from Jade's staff with the metal braces on his forearm. Fujin shoots a zombie through the head at point-blank range with his miniature crossbow, killing it, and follows with three more shots at Kabal. The Black Dragon deftly avoids them with his super speed and gets into fighting range.

"Too slow! I expected better, Fujin"

They fight. With a speed enhanced by magic and a troublesome weapon in the hook swords he wields, Kabal would be a frightening encounter against an ordinary human. But Fujin is a god and is as fast as the wind he commands. His millennia of fighting experience is brought to the fray and he succeeds in bringing Kabal down in the end.

"Now do I meet your expectations?"

Over on the other side of the courtyard, Shang Tsung sends Jade flying with a jumping spin kick to her chest. Nightwolf and Sindel have successfully destroyed all of the zombies attacking them as they all regroup "Cetrion must be on her way" Shang Tsung says "Sindel and I will occupy her. You two get the crown" Nightwolf tells him.

The scene cuts to an underground cave, lit up by torch lights. Fujin and Shang Tsung walk through quickly, giving only token checks for any ambushes.

"I must ask, sorcerer; How long before you betray us?" Fujin asks. Shang Tsung chuckles at the question "I find your lack of faith amusing" He replies. Fujin stops to look at him directly "WHEN it happens, we will be ready"

Tsung only replies with his sardonic smirk and half-bow. As Fujin walks on, he drops the smirk to glare at him menacingly. The two of them continue into Goro's Lair. Eventually, they come face to face with what appears to be a swirling tornado made up of soul energy, hovering over a large well. At the center of this soulnado is Kronika's crown.

Fujin walks right up to it and starts to pry it out, but a voice from behind catches their attention.

"Do me a favor, Fujin, and take one giant step back"

The speaker is masked in the shadows, but we can see that he is smoking a cigar. Another figure of pure darkness stands behind him. He steps forward, showing it to be the elder Jackson Briggs, alongside Noob Saibot "You too, sorcerer" Said Jax. He stops to look at Noob for a moment, then continues speaking "Makes sense we meet again down here. Where you caged me, beat me within an inch of my life" He approaches the smirking Shang Tsung as Noob walks toward Fujin "The hell if I ain't gonna return the favor" "Always so generous" Shang Tsung replies.

Jax takes a smoke from the cigar and then flicks it at Shang's face. In slow motion, Shang dodges it, but as his eyes follow the projectile Jax rushes forward. Time resumes its normal flow just in time for Jax to clobber Shang with a powerful haymaker across his cheek.

Shang manages to block a multitude of blows from Jax and kicks him backward, but Jax recovers and throws a combination of punches and a knee strike. Shang blocks them all and counters with a palm strike to Jax's face, following it with a roundhouse kick.

Fujin meanwhile ducks under a roundhouse from Saibot and leaps over a leg sweep attempt. He blocks two sidekicks, ducks another roundhouse kick, and blocks several more punches and a high kick, countering with an elbow strike/palm thrust combo that sends the former Bi-Han sprawling backward.

Fujin leaps into the air with a Superman punch, but Noob counters with a blast of dark magic, sending Fujin flying backward. Noob kicks up and summons a portal as Fujin lands. The portal is powerful enough to suck in all the surrounding air - and with it, Fujin as well. As Fujin desperately tries to keep a hold on the ground, one of Noob's shadow clones emerges from the portal and grabs him, dragging him in.

Satisfied he is gone, Noob closes the portal but turns his back before it is fully closed. He completely misses the gust of wind that emerges from it, and Fujin leaps out shortly thereafter, performing a corkscrew pirouette through the air that ends with him landing in a three-point stance directly in front of Saibot. He stands quickly.

"A new trick, Bi-Han? Amusing, but insufficient" Says Fujin "You lost to me at your temple, Fujin. Now, Kronika has made me even stronger" Noob Replied

"You did not win that fight. You ran away"

They fight. Bi-Han may have gained the powers of shadow following his death, but these powers prove to have little effect over the God of Wind. Unable to use the freezing powers he possessed in life, Bi-Han is eventually overwhelmed by Fujin and defeated.

"You should have fled this fight too"

As that fight draws to a close, Jax blocks a chopping strike from Shang Tsung, ducks under another chop, and dodges a roundhouse kick. He fights back with a Superman punch but Shang catches his wrist, hits a palm strike to his chin, and a straight punch to his chest, following that with a right take that knocks Jax back.

Shang then hits a jump-spinning sidekick that catches Jax in the abdomen and staggers him. With some distance created, Shang Tsung summons his fire powers and creates a fiery portal beneath Jax. Out of the portal emerges a fiery-looking snake tail that wraps itself around him, constricting him tightly.

From another generated portal, the snake's head emerges, turning to face Jax. It flickers its tongue menacingly but Jackson remains defiant. It roars and opens its maw, shooting out a beam of soul energy. Jax is powerless as the snake begins to suck his soul dry.

However, Fujin summons the wind and blasts Shang Tsung in the back, knocking him down and causing the snake to dissipate into thin air. Fujin walks towards the recovering Jax, who pulls himself to his feet "Kronika's promises cannot be trusted, Jackson. Bi-Han, Kano, Shao Kahn! Look at the scoundrels she employs!"

"That's a card you can't play, Fujin. Not when you're buddied up with Shang Tsung"

They fight. Thanks to the upgrades provided by Kronika, Jax ends up being a challenge for even the Wind God - even if Fujin is reluctant to battle him. The ensuing fight lasts longer than expected, but Fujin manages to take advantage of the fact Jax was weakened by Shang Tsung earlier, and soon Fujin could best him.

"Kronika will not heal your wounds, Jackson"

He walks over to Jax and offers him a hand up. Jax looks rather insulted by the offer "Dammit, Fujin, you know what I've suffered. Kronika's my one chance to prevent all that" He sits down on the ground "Not just for me, but for Jacqui. For Vera. For (Name). Shit…" He looks down, disheartened. Fujin is down on one knee, trying to look him in the eye "You're a god. Ain't no way you get how this feels"

At these words, Fujin looks away for a moment, thinking to himself. He looks back to Jax after a moment "You know the only time Raiden and I ever fought? When I left the Sky Temple to live among humans" He says then he attempts to imitate Raiden's stoic tone "Do not become attached to them, Fujin. Sentiment will impede the execution of your duty" He continues to look at Jax as he reverts to his normal tone of voice "But warriors like you and I, we are strengthened by sentiment. We do not fight to kill enemies. We fight to protect our loved ones. That is why it cuts so deeply when we fail" He says "Well, I'll be. Maybe you do get it" Jax replies. Fujin stands up and offers his hand again. This time Jax takes it and gets back to his feet "Kronika knows your pain. She manipulates you with it. Jacqueline is on her way here. Kronika expects you to fight her. Worse, even… break her heart. Is that someone who cares one whit about you or your family?" Fujin asks.

They all hear something and look up to see a portal above them opens and outfalls (Name) and Calithea. (Name) lands on her feet with Calithea in her arms. A little shaken up she looks around to see where she is before Fujin walks up to her "Are you both all right?" He asks concerned. She nods "Yeah…Yeah we're okay" Then she glares at Shang Tsung "Don't you ever do that again" He simply smirks amused by her annoyance.

Just then, a loud rumbling occurs from above, and pieces of rock fall from the ceiling. Fujin, (Name), Jax, and the recovered Shang Tsung all try to shield themselves from the falling rocks, and a large contingent falls directly in front of the camera, obscuring the view with a metric ton of dust…

…that dispels to show Sindel lying on top of them, having been blasted through the ceiling. She writhes in pain and tries to gather her wits, but several tendrils of what appear to be red-colored vines grab her around her limbs and hoist her back through the hole in the ceiling. She is brought face to face with Cetrion, the one who is generating the vines from the clothing on her body.

"YOU were to defeat me?" Said Cetrion "I am not finished yet!" Sindel said. She magically manipulates her hair into two long ponytails and uses them to grapple Cetrion's vines, snapping them off. Sindel then suddenly falls back to the ground, landing hard on the unforgiving stone.

Cetrion floats down toward her, but Nightwolf charges in and throws his tomahawks. Cetrion summons a wall of fiery rocks and the tomahawks bounce harmlessly off them. In response, Nightwolf slams a fist into his chest to pump himself up and charges, shoulder barging the rock wall and breaking through, dispersing it.

Cetrion shoots out a blast of flame from her hand, but Nightwolf rolls aside and dodges it. Before he can recover, Centurion flies in and wraps her tendrils around his neck and waist, lifting him into the air with her "Abide Kronika's will!" She commands.

As Nightwolf tries to pull the tendrils surrounding his neck free, he begins to speak in Lakotan "Tunka Sila, oun sen ce yelo, oh ma ke ya yo! [Great Spirit, have mercy, help me, please!]"

(The above sentence and its translation are not shown in the game subtitles and is guesstimate work on my part from an hour-long Google search. Thus it is not 100% accurate)

As he says these words, both he and Cetrion are surrounded by a blue light shining from above them. As Sindel rises, she sees the light starting to disintegrate the both of them. She then uses her hair to grab Cetrion and throw her to the floor by her neck. This has the added side effect of breaking the spell, and Nightwolf sinks to his knees.

"Can you fight?" Sindel asks him. He struggles to his feet, the effects of the spell seemingly causing no physical damage but leaving him weakened inside "I'll do what I can" He replied. Before them, Cetrion rises to her feet.

"Kronika offered the future, but instead you will have none. Blame only yourselves for this fate"

They fight. Even with Nightwolf providing backup, Centurion ends up being the toughest fight of Sindel's life. The Elder God is almost unbeatable thanks to her powers over nature and its elements. Sindel brings her fighting strength and all of her magic power to bear, and it manages to be just enough to floor Cetrion for a moment.

"It is your fate that should concern you, Cetrion"

As Cetrion tries to rise, Sindel unleashes a banshee scream that knocks her back down and sends her flying back several feet. Just then, a blast of wind propels Fujin, Shang Tsung, (Name), Calithea, and Jax through the hole created earlier, with all of them somersaulting mid-air and landing on their feet.

As Cetrion gets to her feet, Fujin uses the wind to summon multiple jagged rocks from the nearby ground. He brings them to him and launches them at Cetrion, impaling her across the chest and waist. As she screams out in pain, Fujin lifts her into the air with a tornado and Shang Tsung summons the large fiery cobra seen earlier from another portal.

The cobra rises to Cetrion's height, roars out loud, pauses to hiss a few times, and then bites down on the Elder God, leaping into the air and back down into the portal it came from, dragging her with it. Shang Tsung closes the portal with a grim look of satisfaction.

He and Jax look over to Nightwolf, who is on his knees, still weakened from his earlier attempted sacrifice. Fujin spots this and walks up to him, placing a hand on his chest, with (Name) following behind. Nightwolf's body is soon covered by a blue spell, but this one heals him instead of harming him. After a moment, he takes Fujin's hand and is helped back to his feet "You ok, Mr.Wolf?" Calithea asked looking up at him worried. He smiles "I am alright, young one," He said softly. Fujin then looked over to Shang Tsung "Well, Shang Tsung, your strategy proved sound after all" He said "Of course it did" Shang Tsung replied.

He smirks again, but this time he seems particularly pleased with himself. Just then, several Special Forces soldiers run into the courtyard, led by Jacqui and the younger Jax. He immediately points his rifle in their direction while Jacqui readies her wrist guns.

"Hands over your head, Shang Tsung!" Young Jax commands. Shang Tsung does so, and Jacqui looks at Sindel "You too, Sindel! That hair so much as twitches--" The older Jax pushes his way into their sight as does (Name) "Ease up, baby girl" He says "They're not gonna do anything, Jac" (Name) said. Understandably, both Jacqui and Jax are confused to see them, but they lower their weapons regardless.

"Dad? (Name)? How did you get here?" Jacqui asks confused "We're all on the same side against Kronika" older Jax replies "It's a long story, hon" (Name) says smiling a bit "Yes, and now we must bring this to Raiden" Fujin says as he holds up Kronika's crown for them to see "Is that a crown?" Jacqui asks "Kronika's crown. Without it, she lacks the power to restart history" Fujin replied "About time we got some good news" Young Jax said.

Young Jax looks at Calithea and points "Should I be concerned?" He asks (Name). She laughs "No. It's all good. She's surprised me" She says turning to Jacqui "She can handle fire like me" Jacqui smiles in surprise "No way," She says as Calithea waves at her "Hi Jac Jac!" She giggles making Jacqui smile "Hey little soldier"

"Now that we have this, we're in uncharted territory. We've changed this timeline for good" Nightwolf says to Fujin "Correct. No one can predict what happens next. Not even me" Shang Tsung says "I must return to Outworld, to aid Kitana Kahn" Sindel states "Thank you for aiding us. We will rendezvous at the Sea of Blood in six hours" Fujin says to Sindel "Until our next battle" She replies then turns to (Name) and Calithea smiling "Nana going?" Calithea said pouting. Sindel chuckles at this "Only for a little while, my darling" She replied kissing her forehead and then doing the same to (Name) "Be safe, my daughter" (Name) smiles as her heart warms up "Always, mother"

Shang Tsung summons a portal. Sindel walks toward it, only pausing to acknowledge him ""Sorcerer" She shoots a knowing smile at him. Tsung nods back in response, and she walks into the portal. Behind them, Nightwolf speaks with Fujin "I'll go with the Briggs family to brief the Special Forces. Fujin nods, shaking his hand "May the Great Spirit protect you" He says "May she protect you, Fujin, when Raiden lays eyes on you with Shang Tsung" His tone and expression show that he still distrusts the sorcerer. Fujin accepts his skepticism without comment and they both walk off.

Their footsteps slow down to a mid-air halt as time freezes. Kronika floats in from off-screen around the combatants, past Fujin, Past Shang Tsung, Around Sindel, and in front of (Name), who is carrying Calithea in a mid-walk and levitates before her "Poor dear child. The thunder god has used you and been the cause of so much heartache for you throughout the years and for what? All you have left is your child" She says as she lowers herself to the ground to be eye-to-eye with her "But do not worry…I will fix everything but to do so I need you out of the way. You are…too much of a risk to leave alone" She said as she waved her hand and (Name) and Calithea's bodies began to dissolve, with traces of sand marking their body. With another swirl of sand, she disappears as well, taking (Name) and Calithea with her in another time tornado.

Time starts again and Jacqui is the first to notice (Name) and Calitheas absence. She looked around turning her head every which way "Wait! We're is (name) and Calithea?" she asked a worried look painted across her face as the others began to look around them.

The scene cuts to Kronika's Keep. Cetrion is on her knees, suffering from the wounds inflicted on her. Kronika floats before her, looking angry "Without the crown, there can be no New Era" She states "This failure rests on my shoulders" Cetrion replies "No. I underestimated Shang Tsung's ingenuity. To escape the void, to return from the future…" "I will face him again, Mother. This time I will succeed" "I must go. With Shang Tsung in possession of the crown, he's become far too dangerous" She gives Cetrion a sly look as she says her next words "And I doubt his new allies realize quite how dangerous he is.

(Name) and Calithea is chained to the floor with fire-resistant cuffs and chains. Calithea tries pulling the restraints to free herself scared "Cali…Honey stop you're going to hurt yourself Please stop" (Name) said gently as she pulled her daughter into her arms. Calithea sniffled "I wanna go home, Mama" She whimpered (Name) and could only place her head on top of hers "I know baby…I know"

The scene fades from the Netherrealm to the Fire Gardens, just as a breeze blows the autumn leaves into the sky. In the gardens, Liu Kang and Sub-Zero walk together in conversation.

"Your Shaolin masters, they're ready?" Kuai asks "They will fight until the last man" Liu Kang replies "That is likely what it will take" "There will not be a fight if Kharon does not help us. Is there any word from Grandmaster Hasashi?" "No. If we do not hear soon, I will return to the Netherrealm"

Before them, Scorpion emerges in a flash of hellfire with (Name) in his arms. She looks weak, her eyes puffy, red, and half open. Instantly, Liu Kang and Sub-Zero shift to fighting stances, but Scorpion does not follow suit, instead looking around at the scenery while keeping a firm hold on (Name) "Wrong Scorpion. This cannot be good" Liu Kang says to Kuai "Get Raiden!" Kuai shouts

As Liu Kang runs off, Sub-Zero faces Scorpion down "The Fire Gardens, rebuilt? The Shirai Ryu are indeed restored" Scorpion says amazed, (Name)'s head is on his shoulder staring off into space "Why are you here, Scorpion? Where is Grandmaster Hasashi? What have you done to Lady (Name)?" "…He is dead" Scorpion replies and then looks down at (Name) in his arms, his heart aches knowing how it feels to lose someone you love, and brings her closer "As for Lady (Name)…she is grieving" Kuai grits his teeth "And now you have come to finish us" he growls causing Scorpion to look up at him "I understand your mistrust, but I am here to assist you!" Scorpion tries to explain "I find that impossible to believe! now release her!"

Behind Scorpion and (Name), a portal opens, causing both of them to stare at it in confusion. That confusion turns to anger as they spot Shang Tsung emerging from it "What is he doing here?" Sub-Zero sneered "We are not together" Scorpion replied holding (Name) tighter to him "If you are here to help, prove it. Join me against the sorcerer" "I shall"

Shang Tsung stands with his hands behind his back, patiently waiting as Fujin walks through the portal behind him. Fujin takes in the sight of Sub-Zero and Scorpion before him, cautiously approaching them.

"Fujin?! Raiden thought you lost when the timeline was broken, but you stand with Shang Tsung?!" Sub-Zero said shocked "We have urgent news for Raiden. Please, let us pass" Fujin replied "This may be the sorcerer's trick," Said Sub-Zero. Scorpion places (Name) against a tree and walks back "The Fire Gardens will not be defiled by his presence"

Both of them get into fighting stances, with Sub-Zero readying his ice powers. Fujin and Shang Tsung reply with fighting stances of their own. Scorpion shoots out his spear attack, causing Fujin and Shang Tsung to duck to the side. Sub-Zero shoots out a beam of ice that Fujin dodges by levitating into the air. He somersaults through the air and lands on his feet, then looks behind him to see Shang Tsung has been frozen solid by the ice beam. Fujin and Sub-Zero stalk each other, while Scorpion remains just behind Sub-Zero, also focused on Fujin.

"Why you have joined Shang Tsung is beyond me, Fujin. What has he done to corrupt your mind?

They fight. Taking on both Sub-Zero and Scorpion at once proves to be one of the toughest challenges Fujin has faced yet. Even the Wind God, the Lin Kuei cryomancer, and the Shirai Ryu hellspawn have powers beyond that of mere mortals. But Fujin does not give up, using his speed and agility to its maximum effect. After a hard-fought battle, he eventually defeats both of them.

"Perhaps listen before you judge"

He takes out his crossbow and shoots at Shang Tsung. The magically generated wind arrow shatters on contact with the ice freezing him, and after a moment the ice breaks into pieces, freeing the sorcerer "Thank you, Fujin" For a change, Shang Tsung looks genuinely thankful. Being frozen solid has rattled him "The storm has not yet passed" Fujin replies as he looks ahead. Raiden approaches them, flanked by Liu Kang. As is standard by this point, neither of them looks too pleased to see the sorcerer "Shang Tsung!"

Liu Kang readies himself, but Fujin holds out a hand in caution. Raiden does nothing, but keeps his fists clenched "We must speak with you, brother" Fujin says trying to defuse the situation "'We', Fujin? Since when are you friends with this filth?" Raiden spit venomously "I am here to save you, Raiden" Shang Tsung stated but Raiden did not look convinced.

"We hail from your tragic future. In it, Liu Kang defeated Kronika--" Fujin begins. Liu Kang exchanges a glance with Raiden at these words "--but their battle destroyed her crown. Without this--" He holds up the crown "--the broken timeline couldn't be repaired" Raiden says nothing, but looks at the crown in confusion "Our only hope was to return here, steal the crown, and make use of its power" Says Shang Tsung "Now, we can change the outcome of the fight against Kronika. We can defeat her and fix time" Says Fujin "I had never thought you gullible, brother. Shang Tsung's schemes serve only to benefit him! How could you fall for such lies?!" Raiden yells.

He pulls out Shinnok's amulet. Shang Tsung looks appropriately worried at this "Be rational, Raiden!" Shang Tsung says worried "Spread your falsehoods elsewhere, sorcerer! You will not deceive us!" Raiden replies "Lord Raiden! We should listen. He may be telling the truth" Liu Kang steps in "There is only one way to find out" Raiden says.

He blasts Shang Tsung with a burst of magic from the amulet, leaving him writhing on the ground in pain. Fujin runs to his side to try and help him "Now, Shang Tsung. The truth!" Raiden demands. Liu Kang steps in front of Raiden "Raiden, stop this!" Raiden shoves him to one side "Step aside, Liu Kang" "Put down the amulet! Its darkness is taking hold of you!"

Raiden suddenly blasts Liu Kang with the amulet. It has less of an effect than it has on Shang Tsung, but it still knocks him off his feet "You also betray me!" Raiden growls. Liu Kang rises back to his feet "This is not the way. Shang Tsung is not the enemy this time!" He replies as Raiden charges up the amulet for a more damaging blast, but at the last moment, Fujin shoots a burst of wind, deflecting Raiden's aim. Raiden looks at Fujin in anger "The realms hang in the balance and you form this unholy alliance?!" As Shang Tsung returns to Fujin's side, Raiden looks to the heavens and growls. The amulet activates and his signature blue lightning shifts to red, as does his eyes.

Unknown to any of them time froze. (Name) was the only one able to move "You've suffered an undeserved amount of pain, child" (Name) slowly lifted her head to look at who spoke. Kronkia stood before her with a serene smile "You lost your first love, then your friend now you've lost your love again" She said. (Name) just stared at her "I can change that. I can bring him back and give you a life whe-" "I'm gonna stop you right there" (Name) said interrupting Kronika, surprising her, with a cold tone and even colder eyes.

"None of this would have happened if you didn't start this. Yes, Raiden beheaded Shinnok but in all honesty, it's your duty as a mother to keep your children in check, which you failed miserably at, and to teach them right from wrong as well as what the term 'going too far' means" She said leaning her head back on the tree, the sunlight filtering through the leaves that flutter in the wind "So if you're planning on getting me to join you and help against Raiden? Don't waste your breath. I may hate him to some extent for the crap he's put me through but my answer is no"

Kronika looks at her with contempt "I see.." That was all she said before she waved her hand and (Name)'s body began to dissolve, with traces of sand marking her body. With another swirl of sand, she disappears as well, taking (Name) with her in another time tornado.

Time restarts and continues as if nothing has happened.

"Enough of this madness. If you both must die, so be it!" Raiden yells. Fujin holds Shang Tsung back "My brother is my problem. I will signal if I need help" He says and Shang Tsung obliges, and Fujin turns to Raiden.

"Shinnok's amulet inflames your anger and clouds your judgment. Have faith in me"

They fight. Fujin finds himself in the battle of his life. Raiden is at full strength in Earthrealm and he not only has the power of thunder and lightning and thousands of years of fighting experience, but the powers granted by Shinnok's amulet as well. It takes all of Fujin's speed, agility, martial arts skill, and heavenly powers of his own to even keep in the fight, but he refuses to concede and - with some help from Shang Tsung acting in support - Fujin manages to knock the Thunder God to his knees for a moment.

"Now listen, brother. We're running out of time"

Liu Kang and Shang Tsung rejoin Fujin, but he holds them back. The fight has seemingly knocked some sense back into Raiden. He picks up Shinnok's amulet from the ground he drops it back in the melee "I am a fool. I have allowed myself to become a slave to anger. I will not allow my temper to fracture our resolve further" Raiden says regretfully. Fujin looks at Liu Kang and smiles. Liu Kang looks to Shang Tsung, who looks at Raiden with a calculated smile.

The scene cuts to the Gardens, some time later. Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Fujin, and Shang Tsung stand in a semi-circle in front of the main temple, where Raiden stands in its entranceway.

"Surely you jest, Lord Fujin" Liu Kang asked in disbelief "Not at all, Liu Kang. Raiden's power makes you a Fire God" Fujin replies "Of course it does" Says Kung Lao. He sounds rather jealous. Fujin takes his disapproval in stride "Unfortunately, I cannot transfer my power to Liu Kang yet. First I must free his revenant from Quan Chi's curse" Raiden says "We will face the revenants soon enough" Fujin replies.

"And You say your Lady (Name) has been taken by Kronika," Liu Kang asks worriedly as Fujin nods "Yes, Kronika has likely taken her out of the battle like the last time to not have her interfere with her plans" Fujin replied "But (Name) is strong enough to fight back why wouldn't she-" "Because Kronika took young Calithea with her" Shang Tsung interrupts Kung Lao. Liu Kang and Kung Lao look back at each other worried, Kuai Liang and Scorpion clench their fists and Raiden closes his eyes in anger "A child should never be brought into something like this" Scorpion said glaring at the ground.

Raiden took a moment to compose himself before speaking "What else can you tell us about the final battle? We must use every advantage"

As he says this, a sandstorm kicks into the area, gradually freezing everyone in the vicinity of it, except Raiden, Fujin, and Shang Tsung, who remain unaffected. As they look around at time coming to a standstill, the tornado gathers in one location in the middle of the air… and forms into Kronika.

"Lord Fujin, Shang Tsung," She says as she floats down toward the earth but stops short, continuing to levitate above the ground "I trust you are enjoying your travels?" "Where is (Name) and Calithea?! If you've hurt them I swear-!" Kung Lao yelled angrily "They are both safe…for now" She replies "You have already been defeated once, Kronika," Says Fujin "Of course, Fujin. How else could you have escaped the void?" Says Kronika "If you know this, accept the inevitable. Surrender" Raiden states "But clearly my loss was not your victory, Raiden. If your future "savior" had gained full control of my Hourglass, we would not be here. This timeline would no longer exist" Kronika says "I see no harm in confirming your suspicion" Shang Tsung says smirking "Even if you defeat me, what then? Who claims the Hourglass? Surely you realise Shang Tsung will break your alliance" "We are prepared, Kronika" Fujin says confidently.

"Are you?" She smiles at his words "Have you wondered why Shang Tsung knows so much about my crown?" "Because he did your bidding, gathering souls to fuel it" Raiden replied "Shang Tsung is far too modest. The crowd is his design. No one, save me, knows more about its power" She says as Fujin turns to Shang Tsung at these words, clearly angry. Shang Tsung looks back at him, impassive, and simply says "Had I told you, we would still be marooned at the beginning of time bickering among ourselves"

"You must decide, Raiden: Who do you want to keep time for all of creation? Me, or Shang Tsung?" Kronika questions condescendingly "Neither, Kronika. You will be beaten. And if Shang Tsung betrays us, we will finish him" Raiden says. Shang Tsung only reacts to Raiden's declaration by slightly raising his eyebrows in amusement "You are a fool, Raiden. Do not condemn the realms to oblivion!" Kronika barks.

In response, Raiden charges up a lightning strike and blasts Kronika square in the chest with it. This angers her and she retaliates by blasting him with her time magic. Raiden is immediately covered in sand, slowing to a halt. Fujin and Shang Tsung react by readying their own magic blasts, firing off wind and soul energy at Kronika, who holds her hands up to ward off their assault.

She finally pushes back and gains an opening, sending out a blast of sand that floors them both and starts up a tornado. The crown falls out of Fujin's grasp and clatters on the ground "Fujin, the crown!" Shang Tsung calls out. He tries to crawl to it, but the tornado of sand slows him down too much. Fujin is less affected, but all he can do is crawl slowly towards it "It is a mistake, challenging a Titan! Now I end your existence!" Kronika declares.

As Kronika readies herself for a bigger blast of magic, Fujin finally gets a grip on the crown. He picks it up, and standing back to his feet, places the crown on his head. He groans in pain but also begins levitating into the air. As Kronika shoots out a blast of sand, Fujin holds up his hands and deflects it back at her, pushing her back and dispelling the tornado. Kronika remains in the air but is stunned, as Fujin brings himself into focus "You are vulnerable, Kronika" He says.

Below him, Shang Tsung readies a portal of fire beneath Kronika. Two monsters from his flesh pits jump out and grab at her dress, pulling her down. As Kronika flails in the air, trying to keep balance, Fujin summons a tornado of wind around her, keeping her trapped. The wind affects the portal as well, summoning more flesh creatures but also dragging the flames of the portal up and around her.

Some of the creatures begin to fly around the tornado, screaming at her. The distractions keep Kronika from focusing on a counterattack, and two more creatures grab her arms and shoulders. While this is happening, Raiden finally frees himself and dispels the sand trapping him. He runs forward and shoots lightning directly into the tornado, all of which travels straight into Kronika, electrocuting her.

After a few more seconds, there is a massive explosion of sand right in the middle of the tornado, dispelling it. When the sand clears, there is no sign of the portal, the flesh creatures, or Kronika. Fujin falls back to the ground, clearly weakened by using the crown for too long. The crown falls from his head in slow motion.

As time resumes, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero are all freed from the sand trapping them. Raiden places a hand on Fujin's back "Brother! Are you alright?" He asks him worried as Fujin breathes in heavily for a few moments "…Yes. But, the crown…" He says as they both look around. Shang Tsung picked up the crown and held it in his hands, staring down in admiration "Truly, my finest work" He says. Raiden walks up to him, clearly expecting the worst to happen. Shang looks him dead in the eyes… and offers him the crown "I will instruct you in its ways" Shang Tsung says as Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero all run up to the three of them.

"What just happened?" Liu Kang asks confused "Kronika came here to retrieve the crown. We forced her to retreat" Shang Tsung replied "We must strike while she is weakened. Let us join the armies massing at the Sea of Blood. Together, we will storm Kronika's Isle and take command of the Hourglass" Said Raiden

"Mama?" everyone turns to the temple doors where Calithea is standing with her doll. Here looking at them "Worry not, Young one your mother is…" Fujin said before turning to the tree Scorpion left (Name) at only to see she was gone. The others look shocked while Calithea tears up and clutches her doll that resembles her mother.

"Where's my mama?"

Mortal Kombat 11 x reader: Chapter 14 Times Arrow

The five of them take in the battle occurring around them.

"When have we arrived?"Shang Tsung questioned "Immediately after the time merger, yes? The battle between Kotal and Shao Kahn?" Fujin said "Definitely not" (Name) answered looking around. Nightwolf stares into the distance and points, placing a hand on Shang Tsung's shoulder as he does so "No. Look!"

The camera cuts to see from his point of view. He has spotted Jade picking the lock of the stock holding Kotal. After a moment, she finishes and helps him to throw the stock off. She then turns to intercept a sword strike from a Shao Kahn loyalist, punching him across the face, kicking him in the knee, and knocking him over with a roundhouse kick. Behind her, Kotal punches a soldier across the face, drills his fist into his stomach, then turns his back and throws the soldier over his shoulder, slamming him hard into the ground.

"It's much later than that. This is Kitana's battle with Shao Kahn" He says "Remind me to Kick Liu Kang in the ass after this" (Name) said annoyed as she holds Calithea closer to her. Fujin moves closer to (Name) to help cover Calithea more "Then we are almost out of time. We must escape quickly" Said Shang Tsung. He points over to a nearby open trap door, leading down to the fighting pits beneath the Koliseum "Changing this battle's outcome could cause Cetrion to claim the crown earlier than expected" He says "And guarantee our failure" Said Fujin "Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Said (Name)

The four of them run off to the trap door. As they approach, a nearby Shao Kahn soldier slams his sword through the skull of a Tarkatan, killing him, but the soldier does not look over to the trap door, which they reach without impediment.

The scene cuts to the Kollector, who is fighting with a Kotal loyalist. He parries several sword strikes from the soldier with his flail, then counters with several slashes across the leg, chest, and back with the knives held by three of his four main arms. With the soldier stunned, Kollector holds up his flail and magically shoots it outward, exploding the soldier's head in a violently gory display.

Kollector looks around the battle just in time to spot Nightwolf entering the trap door, followed closely by Shang Tsung and Fujin. His eyes widen as he recognizes the scheming sorcerer and his look turns to shock seeing (Name) going into the trap door with Calithea, who bears a striking resemblance to Mileena. Another Kotal loyalist attempts to stab him from behind, but Kollector shanks him through the top of his head without even turning to face him. He pulls out his knife and snarls menacingly, walking toward the trap door.

The scene cuts to the interior below the Koliseum. Shang Tsung, Fujin, (Name), and Nightwolf walk through the hallways lined with prison cages. As they walk past one, they are suddenly started as an Outworld beast - a creature resembling a giant rat but with the jaw of a saber-toothed tiger - rushes at them, slamming into the cage bars. It screeches and claws in an attempt to maul them, but cannot get past the metal in its way. Calithea giggles and smiles at them having seen them many times. After taking a moment, the three continue on, with Shang Tsung crushing a smaller rat underneath his boot.

"We escaped the battle undetected," He said confidently. Unbeknownst to them, Kollector sneaks up from behind "Shang Tsung!" All of them whirl around at his voice, getting into fighting stances.

"Or not" Commented Fujin "Where have you been hiding? You consort with Earthrealmers now?" Kollector accused "His business is none of yours, Kollector" Nightwolf said "My business is collecting what Shao Kahn wants" He pointed toward Shang Tsung and then to Calithea "He will pay handsomely for you and…for his grandchild" (Name) glares "You'll keep your damn hands away from her" She growled.

Shang Tsung briefly smirks, but also readies his soul magic. Nightwolf steps in front of him "You're outnumbered, Kollector" He said.

"Am I?" Said Kollector.

He snaps his fingers, letting loose a burst of blue magic. Behind them, the prison doors are opened with the same magic and two giant rats emerge from them. They roar out loud and leap into the air. As they approach, Nightwolf rolls to the side and the rats go for Fujin and Shang Tsung, forcing them to backpedal.

(Name) dodges the beasts as best she can while holding Calithea. (Name) used one hand to secure her and the other to throw fire at the beasts.

Nightwolf looks up to see Kollector hurling his flail towards him and he rolls out of the way in the nick of time, the heavy weapon slamming into the sand beneath him. Kollector recalls the retractable flail back to his grip and faces Nightwolf down "These are indeed strange days. How do Earthrealmers profit from protecting Shang Tsung?" He questioned "He shares our goal: Kronika's defeat" answered Nightwolf.

"You will be partners in death!"

They fight. The Naknada proves to be a most unorthodox opponent for the Native Americans, and his numerous weapons and magical abilities prove to be a challenge in Kombat. But Nightwolf has his own weapons, magic, and fighting skills on top of that, all of which he bears against Kollector. After a fierce melee, Nightwolf eventually triumphs.

"Thank you, Great Spirit"

As that battle finishes, Fujin catches one of the beasts in a tunnel of wind that not only spins it around but peels the skin right off it. As the beast falls dead, the second one stalks toward (Name), Fujin and Shang Tsung. It leaps straight into a tornado from Fujin that levitates it into the air. Fujin disperses the wind for a moment to allow the beast to fall to the ground, then summons it immediately after to pin it down. As the beast struggles, Shang Tsung and (Name) charge their hands with fire and unleash a flamethrower blast that roasts the beast in an instant.

Shang Tsung takes a moment to smirk in triumph and looks at (Name) "Nicely done" He says surprising (Name) who shifts Calithea in her arms "Oh! uh, thanks. You too" She says. Shang Tsung then looks overhead. Above them, sand falls, a loud gasp emanates from the crowd, and the sounds of battle start to die down.

"Kitana has defeated Shao Kahn," Says Nightwolf "He always had more ego than skill," Says Shang Tsung, and (Name) laughs "On that, we can agree," She says smirking "Come. Let us leave while the crowd is distracted"

The four of them turn around and head toward the exit.

The scene cuts to the outside of the Koliseum, by a roadside some distance away. Nightwolf and Fujin are in a heated discussion, while Shang Tsung sits in the shade of a nearby tree. Katlyn is, reluctantly, sitting next to him with Calithea sleeping in her lap.

"No. We're already here later than we wanted to be" Says Nightwolf. He turns to Tsung and points at him "Let's go to your island now and take the crown. No detours!"

"Our rather public arrival at the Koliseum makes that impossible. Kronika's Outworld allies will inform her of our presence. Go to my island now, we could be ambushed by Cetrion herself" Shang Tsung replied "And our combined power won't stop her. We need help" Said Fujin "But whose help?! We can't recruit any of our allies without altering this timeline's events" Said Nightwolf.

Fujin walks away, unable to answer. Shang Tsung stands up, grinning to himself for a moment, before giving Nightwolf a sly sideways glance.

"Sindel"

Upon hearing her name, (Name) flinches and Nightwolf's eyes narrow.

"Sindel's a revenant," Nightwolf says "Who can be restored to life. And who plays no major part in the battles that lie ahead. We can safely recruit her without disrupting events" Shang Tsung replies and he clasps his hands together "It's a tactic Kronika is unlikely to anticipate"

Fujin walks back toward him "She was Shao Kahn's Empress, his equal in evil" Fujin said "Because he had her bewitched. Returning Sindel to life will restore her original, more heroic self" Shang Tsung stated, "Is it… our only option?" She asked "I'm Just saying I killed her when I was 18 and nowhere near as experienced at fighting as I am now"

"She will be more power we need to assure victory against Cetrion. Sindel is key"

Shang turns his back on them, one hand behind his back, the other lifted in contemplation.

(Name) takes a few moments to think before sighing "She…She won't remember me…Will she?" She asks "She will remember everything from when she wasn't bewitched" Shang Tsung replied looking at her. She nods. Nightwolf throws up his hands in exasperation "And I suppose restoring her will be easy" He said.

Shang Tsung gives him another side-ward glance "Anything but. We can use Earthrealm's Jinsei to heal Sindel's body. But to break Quan Chi's spell and revive her soul, we will need access to Outworld's Soul Chamber" He replied

Nightwolf looks away, unconvinced. Fujin sighs to himself "You have a different plan, Nightwolf? A better one?" He asks. Nightwolf turns back to Shang Tsung "One hint of betrayal, sorcerer, and we will finish you"

Shang takes the threat in stride, only smirking back at Nightwolf as (Name) places a hand on his shoulder and looks to Shang Tsung "Where do we start?" She asks trying to defuse the hostilities "Earthrealm, to acquire the Jinsei" He replies.

He swirls his arms around and summons a portal. The three of them walk through it and it disappears behind them.

The scene cuts to Kronika's Keep. The Titan of Time is using her magic to shift the sands in her hourglass. As she does so, her top enforcers - the construct Geras and the cyborg ninja Frost - walk up to her.

"Shang Tsung, Fujin, Nightwolf. All were seen in the Koliseum. How is that possible?" Said Geras as Kronika turned to face them "It should not be. Those cast into the void do not return" Replied Kronika "If Shang Tsung were to--" "--I am aware, Geras. Take Frost and find them. We must discern from when and whence they came" Kronika said cutting off Geras.

The scene cuts to the Dragon Grotto. Fujin scoops some of the Jinsei liquid from a pool into a metal vial the size of his hand "That will be sufficient" Shang Tsung says as he motions as if to take the vial. Fujin glares at him and seals the vial himself "You two may leave. (Name) and I will stay behind to secure the Grotto" He said. He turns directly to Shang Tsung "Your aid is not required"

Once again, Shang replies with nothing but a knowing smirk. He mockingly half-bows to Fujin and (Name) as Nightwolf walks past him, then leaves the grotto himself.

Fujin turns to (Name) as she looks down at Calithea "How is she fairing?" He asked worried for Calithea "She's just tuckered out, Fujin…It's been a long day for both of us" She said looking up to Fujin. He rubbed Calithea's face with his knuckles as she slept against her mother's chest "I believe it's safe to say she doesn't know about Hanzo?" (Name) nods looking back down at her daughter "She thinks Scorpion is him…in a way she is right. I don't know what I'm going to do Fujin. I've never been this unsure in my life. I feel like I'm losing myself" Fujin looked at her worried before placing his hand on her back and rubbing it "…Worry not, Lady (Name), everything will be set right in the end" He said. Unknown to (Name) his face showed remorse.

As they pass from the cave into the arena, Shang stops at the entrance. He holds up a hand to prevent Nightwolf from entering, then picks up a nearby pole. He uses the pole to prod a loose tile just ahead of them. Immediately, several long spikes on either side of the doorway shoot into the space above where the tile is. On one of those spikes are the bloodied remains of a treasure hunter, impaled through his shoulders, pelvis, and legs on one side of the spikes.

There is enough time for the dead man's mask to fall from his face before the spikes are retracted back into the wall, along with his decaying body. Shang Tsung smiles in appreciation "These traps are excellent. Who knew the Shaolin were so diabolical?" He complimented as Nightwolf looked at him quizzically "From you, that's high praise" He said.

For a change, Shang looks offended at this remark. He contemptuously shoves the pole into Nightwolf's hands and walks into the trap dungeon before them "Indeed" He replied. Nightwolf drops the pole and follows after him. The two of them don't manage to walk very far before a swirl of sand magic starts to appear before them, prompting both men to get into fighting stances. The tornado of sand soon begins to disperse, revealing Geras, Frost, and twelve cyber Lin Kuei.

"Nightwolf, Shang Tsung. Come. Kronika is keen to question you" Said Geras

The cyber Lin Kuei charged them. As Shang Tsung ducks into a low stance, Nightwolf readies one of his tomahawks and throws it straight at one of the cyborgs, impaling it through its head. As the cyborg sparks and staggers from the fatal impact, Nightwolf runs up and pulls his tomahawk free, running up and vaulting off the cyborg's shoulders in doing so. As he leaps, he raises his tomahawk, magically summons a second one into his spare hand, and brings both weapons down through the chest of another cyborg. It tries to rise, but Nightwolf knocks it back down with a headbutt and rolls forward.

As he stands up, he catches another cyborg with a tomahawk to its gut, doubling it over. He chops it across the back with his other tomahawk to drop it and then spins around, using the motion to decapitate another cyborg. He knocks his weapons together and runs into the fray of remaining ninjas, while one of them breaks from the crowd and rushes at Shang Tsung.

Shang is ready and parries the cyborg's attack, countering with a knife-hand chop to its throat that stuns it. He hits another cyborg with a punch to its face, grabs and spins it around for a few moments, then drops it with a clothesline. A third cyborg manages to sucker punch him in the face, but he hits two counterpunches to stun it. He turns to the first cyborg and kicks it in the chest, then hits another palm strike and a jumping kick to the third, sending it sprawling.

A fourth cyborg charges in, but Shang grabs its arm, wrenches it down, and knees it in the face, knocking it back. The first tries to punch him, but he dodges its strike. It swings multiple times, but Shang dodges each swipe, even putting his hands behind his back while doing so. He then uses his fire magic to suddenly roast the cyborg where it stands, and finishes by punching off its head. A fifth cyborg attacks, but Shang blocks both of its strikes, then he inflames his hands and downward chops the cyborg twice across its chest. He finishes with a fiery palm thrust that goes straight through the cyborg's chest. He lifts his hand, from chest to head, splitting the cyborg vertically in half in doing so.

As Shang Tsung and Geras approach each other, Nightwolf finishes the last of the cyber Lin Kuei by splitting it in half with his tomahawk. He faces Frost as she approaches "Kronika isn't the future, Frost. We've seen it! Join us on the right side of history" Said Nightwolf.

"The only side is Kronika's. My place in her New Era is assured"

They fight. Frost's control over ice combined with her cybernetic upgrades proves to be quite a challenge for Nightwolf, but he has faced down greater threats than her before. Taking advantage of her arrogance, he manages to break through her attacks and take the fight to her, leaving her beaten on the ground.

"Nothing is assured, Frost"

Over to his side, Geras throws a haymaker that Shang Tsung blocks. He hits Geras in the chest several times, chops him in the face, and lands a gut punch that staggers him. Geras recovers and throws a spinning haymaker that Tsung catches, but the construct keeps throwing punches, eventually landing a short uppercut to Shang's chin that he follows with a gut punch.

The sorcerer staggers back, clearly winded. Geras magically generates his armored gauntlet and pounds Shang Tsung straight in the chest, sending him flying across the dungeon. Tsung whirls back to his feet and shoots out a fireball. It impacts on Geras' chest, but only staggers him for a moment.

Shang powers up and shoots out a flaming skull. This time, Geras is knocked back and crashes through a wooden pillar, splintering it into matchwood. As Geras lies motionless, Tsung falls to one knee, exhausted. Fujin walks up behind him "Is he finished?" Fujin asked as they both looked toward Geras, They found he was already standing to his feet "I am eternal, Fujin. My will and my strength, infinite" Geras states.

Both Fujin and Shang Tsung charge up their wind and soul magic, shooting it at Geras together. He holds up his arms and takes both rays head-on, blocking them and pushing forward. The magic stalls him for a moment, but he pushes back and outward, dispelling the rays.

Both Fujin and Tsung stagger for a moment, but they rally and shoot their magic out once again. Geras again blocks their rays of magic and slowly makes his way forward… until a tomahawk slams into his face along with a fireball. This in turn causes Fujin and Shang Tsung to stop firing at Geras, watching as he nonchalantly pulls the tomahawk out of his skull. His wound instantly heals as he throws the weapon aside.

Nightwolf steps up next to Fujin and Shang Tsung as does (Name) with Calithea clinging to her front. All four of them enter fighting stances. Geras roars and charges them, engaging in Mortal Kombat.

Fujin hits a palm strike to Geras' chest, following through with a knee that is blocked, but he manages to kick Geras in the chest as a follow-up. Shang throws a sidekick that Geras parries, but he punches Geras in the face, leaving him open to Nightwolf, who punches him twice in the face and backhands him in his abdomen. (Name) tosses Calithea in the air as she charges up her fists and rapidly punches his chest causing him to stumble.

All four of them throw high kicks that Geras blocks, but each one forces him back until Nightwolf throws a dropkick that breaks his defenses. (Name) catches Calithea as Geras rallies and punches into the ground, activating his powers over the sand as he does so. A burst of sand suddenly appears before the foursome, catching both Shang Tsung and Fujin as they charge in. They are thrown into the air and land heavily on the ground.

Nightwolf readies a tomahawk and leaps into the air, but Geras catches his arm and counters with a haymaker to Nightwolf's gut. As Nightwolf drops his weapon, Geras grabs him by the throat and lifts him into the air. He generates a portal of sand on the ground underneath and throws Nightwolf through it, causing him to emerge on the other side of the dungeon. (Name) is thrown into a wall from the gust of sandy wind making sure to hit her back and not her front as she protects Calithea leaving her winded.

Shang Tsung kips up to his feet and attacks, but Geras parried his punches, countering with a punch to the gut and two to the face. Fujin tries to attack, but Geras sends him flying with a shoulder barge. He uses his time powers to freeze Shang Tsung where he stands, then uses the same power to grab Fujin. With a gesture of his hand, he drags Fujin toward Shang Tsung, causing them to collide in a heap, both knocked out from the impact.

Nightwolf manages to stand, though he's still not fully recovered. Geras walks over to him "Of all the Nightwolves I have fought, you are the fiercest" Geras said "It must be why the Great Spirit chose me to wear the mantle" Nightwolf replied.

"You are also anomalous. No one has ever escaped the void"

They fight. The battle proves to be one of Nightwolf's toughest yet. Geras is not fazed by any one of his magical weapons or his fighting abilities. Every fatal blow is absorbed by the construct to no effect. But Nightwolf does not give up and manages to knock Geras to the floor for a moment.

Geras lifts his face, growling at the Native American. Nightwolf readies two of his tomahawks and throws them together, severing Geras' arms at the shoulder. He falls flat on his face once more but still tries to look up.

Fujin and Shang Tsung, now conscious, walk up to Nightwolf "Was that necessary?" Fujin asked "To buy us time. We must be rid of him before he recovers" Nightwolf replies and sure enough, a swirl of sand magic begins to reattach Geras' arms back onto his body. Shang Tsung readies himself by generating his fire magic "Fujin, summon the wind!" Shang Tsung said.

As Shang creates a portal, Fujin readies his wind magic, blasting it directly at Geras. His hands grip down on the ground, but they have not finished attaching to his body yet. With a loud cry, the construct is blown back into the portal. One of his arms inches toward Nightwolf and grabs his foot. Nightwolf looks down and contemptuously kicks it away, watching as it slides into the portal as well.

"Where did you send him?" Fujin asked as he quickly walked to the wall (Name) was lying against and gently helped her up "Chaosrealm. Havik will keep him entertained" Shang Tsung said as he looked at them both "Let's get to the Netherrealm. We're running out of time to find Sindel" Said Nightwolf

Shang creates another portal in front of them and another portal before turning to (Name) "You are to go to the Shokahn to speak with queen Sheeva. As I recall she has a great amount of respect for you. Speak with her on our behalf" He said. (Name) nods "Got it," She said as Calithea nodded as well "Yep!" She said.

The scene cuts to the Netherrealm. An army of oni walks across the hellish landscape. Mounted nearby on an undead fiery steed is the revenant Jade, who jabs a demon close to her that walks too slowly for her liking. Kung Lao and Kabal are also seen on mounts of their own overlooking the marching army.

Nightwolf, Fujin, and Shang Tsung watch the army pass by from the cover of a nearby rock "No sign of Sindel" Said Nightwolf "Not entirely unexpected, given that she did not aid in the Keep's defense" Shang Tsung states "What was her role, then, if she is such a formidable weapon?" Fujin asks. As they talk, the shadows of three figures approach their position "Is it possible tha--" Night wolf says when he suddenly cries out in pain, clutching his chest. Both Fujin and Shang look surprised at this, but say nothing for the moment "Great Spirit!" He says "What is it?" Fujin asks "My revenant… he is close" He replies.

Realizing the implications, all three turn around, now sensing the approaching figures. They appear in shadow, but there is no mistaking the revenants. They are Liu Kang, Kitana… and Nightwolf.

"Great Spirit cannot save you," Says the revenant.

Nightwolf, Shang, and Fujin get into their fighting stances, but Liu Kang raises his hand. He holds some kind of fiery medallion that shoots out what appear to be molten tentacles. These tentacles wrap themselves around the three of them, instantly restraining them. Despite their best efforts, all of them fall to the ground, losing consciousness. Liu Kang withdraws the tentacles back into the medallion and turns to the revenant Nightwolf "Take them to the Bone Temple" He says.

The scene cuts to an unconscious Fujin, hanging from the ceiling, suspended by the shackles on his arms. He awakens to find himself in the Bone Temple. He looks at his restraints and tugs at them, unable to free himself. As he looks around, he spots both Nightwolf and Shang Tsung, each man bound by shackles to pillars on each of his sides. Both of them are still unconscious.

"Nightwolf! Shang Tsung!" He calls out but neither man responds. He tries again "Nightwolf! Shang Tsung!" Eventually, both men open their eyes. Nightwolf looks around "Where are we?" He asks as Shang Tsung looks around for a moment before he answers, spotting a familiar-looking decapitated head "Shinnok's Bone Temple" He says.

We get a close of the former ruler of the Netherrealm. As we last saw him before, Shinnok is still held in place next to a wall by two skeleton hands. Behind the wall is a raging inferno. Sparks of red electricity emit from Shinnok's head frequently; the torture Raiden inflicted upon him still causes him constant pain.

As Fujin takes in this sight, a familiar-sounding voice echoes out behind him "Raiden's violence against our Lord will not go unavenged, Fujin" The revenant Sindel does not step out of the shadows surrounding her, instead remaining just out of Fujin's line of sight "Prepare to pay for your brother's sins" She walks around the pillar, that is holding Shang Tsung, suddenly appearing at his side. The revenant Nightwolf hangs back in the shadows "Sindel… you look well. Death becomes you" Shang Tsung comments. She smirks at the remark, but there is no amusement on her face. She places a hand on his cheek "Always the charmer, Shang Tsung. I will enjoy feeding Lord Shinnok your soul" She sneered.

She pulls her hand away and walks toward Nightwolf. He grunts as he struggles against his restraints. Out of Sindel's line of sight, he magically conjures up a spirit knife in his right hand, using it to cut away at the chain on his shackle "But you, Nightwolf… you get the privilege of suffering most" She says as she grabs him by the throat, though not tightly enough to strangle him "We should've saved you. Hopefully we will today" Nightwolf says.

The knife finally manages to cut his shackles. He swings it out at Sindel, who backpedals just in time to avoid it. He charges forth, swinging it thrice more, but she dodges each time. As the revenant Nightwolf readies his tomahawks, Sindel screams into the air, her banshee cries magically echoing across the temple. A multitude of oni hear the cry and storm into the room.

Nightwolf brandishes his tomahawks and throws them at Fujin's shackles. They snap them instantly, freeing the Wind God. He readies himself as the revenant Nightwolf charges. Sindel merely points with her finger, letting the charging oni do her work for her.

As they approach, Nightwolf frees Shang Tsung by slamming his tomahawk into the chain that binds him, and all three of them get into fighting stances and charge. Shang Tsung engages the revenant Nightwolf, while the living Nightwolf charges into a group of oni, tomahawks drawn. Fujin conjures up a tornado around Nightwolf, spinning him around while his tomahawks are outstretched. The result of this unique combo is that any oni that approaches Nightwolf is messily chopped to pieces by the spinning tomahawks. Within a few seconds, all the oni are lying dead on the ground and Fujin dispels the tornado.

As Fujin prepares to deal with more oni offscreen, Nightwolf approaches Sindel, who stands off to the side as all this takes place "You can't kill me, Sindel. Not without killing my revenant" He said "I'm not going to kill you" She gave a throaty laugh as she walked forward.

"As Raiden said to Lord Shinnok… there are fates worse than death"

They fight. Earlier in this timeline, empowered by Shang Tsung's magic and strength, Sindel was too strong for (Name) all those years ago to allow her to live. But Sindel lost this strength when she became a revenant, and thanks to this, Nightwolf is able to overcome her sorcery with his own magic, eventually leaving her unconscious on the ground.

"I can imagine few fates worse than yours"

A cry from behind him catches Nightwolf's attention. He turns around and spins, slashing out with his tomahawk as an oni rushes him. He catches the demon in the throat, dropping it. Another one tries to kick him, but he plants his tomahawks into its rising ankle and leg. As it hobbles in pain, he drives a tomahawk square into its chest to drop it. In the background, his revenant staggers Shang Tsung with a spinning sidekick to the gut.

The revenant summons lightning into his tomahawk and blasts Shang Tsung square in the face. He falls and writhes in agony as the revenant continues to electrocute him. The living Nightwolf, meanwhile, plunges his tomahawks into the chest of another attacking oni. As it falls to its knees, Nightwolf spots his revenant and yanks his weapons loose, taking off toward them.

He parries a swipe from an oni with his tomahawk before repeatedly stabbing it in its torso, finishing it with a stab to the throat. He then charges his revenant from behind and shoulder barges him, causing him to break the lightning spell. Old Nightwolf lands hard but gets to his feet as smoke begins to rise from Shang Tsung's badly burnt form.

The two Nightwolves circle each other. Old Nightwolf brandishes his tomahawks threateningly "You will die by your own hands" Says Old Nightwolf. Young Nightwolf puts his hands up in appeasement "Harming me only hurts you" He says "My sacrifice will save the Matoka" His older self replies "Kronika has no love for our people. The Great Spirit--" Nightwolf tried to say. before his older self yelled.

"--is a fraud! Who allowed us to suffer! Who allowed a child to die for a world in which she was not born into! Kronika is our future as well as hers"

They fight. The battle is even in its beginning, with both kombatants equally matched in strength, fighting skill, and magic powers. But the elder Nightwolf is at a disadvantage thanks to what his younger self realized earlier; every time the elder harms the younger, he is hurt as well. This allows the younger Nightwolf to press the advantage, and though the battle is tough, he eventually knocks his revenant down.

"Kronika is not the answer"

As the revenant rises back to his feet, he is suddenly enveloped by soul magic and cries out in agony. He falls to his knees as Shang Tsung begins to devour his soul "Shang Tsung, stop! We can restore him!" The young Nightwolf pleaded. Shang Tsung is not a pretty sight at the moment. The lightning attack damaged him so badly that his face was nothing more than a skull with two blinded eyes staring out of them. His voice is barely more than a strained groan from rotted vocal chords "He wounded me. If I die, we fail" Shang Tsung rapsed. The soul magic transferring into his hands begins to restore his face, growing flesh back onto his skull. Young Nightwolf does not look convinced at his words. He starts charging toward Shang Tsung.

"Sorcerer, I'll--" "No, Nightwolf!" Fujin yells as he grabs him by the chest and shoulder, holding him back "Shang Tsung must live"

Shang Tsung recovers enough to stand up fully and uses his other hand to channel soul magic as well. His face is now bloodied, but recognisable, and soon his facial hair grows back as well, and within moments he is completely healed, looking just as before. The revenant Nightwolf meanwhile is sucked dry, and as the spell is finished he falls forward, his body withered and even more grey than before. His eyes are milk-colored and glazed over, and there is no question that he is dead. Just out of his reach lays his tomahawk, his fingertips just brushing it. It's the same as his younger self except for one thing extra. Tied one of the tassels is a piece of (hair color) hair. A moment of (Name) after she had passed away. An event the young Nightwolf has yet to go through.

With his trademark smirk, Shang Tsung walks over to Nightwolf and Fujin "Are you happy now?" Nightwolf said glaring "I am healthy, Nightwolf. That should be your concern" Shang Tsung replied "Both of you, please" Fujin said trying to keep the piece. He looks to Sindel, who is still unconscious "We must make haste to the Soul Chamber" He says. Shang Tsung turns around and walks off "Then let us hurry… and hope Sheeva is as eager to aid us as I anticipate…and that (Name) has convinced her if she is not," he says. Both Fujin and Nightwolf stare after him, each lost in their own thoughts at his words.

The scene cuts to Sheeva's throne room in Outworld. The queen of the Shokan herself is seated on the throne, a goblet in her hand, flanked by two bodyguards wielding maces two heads taller than their own giant frames. Shang Tsung stands away from the throne, hands behind his back in apparent respect behind (Name) as she acts as a peacekeeper.

"Escort you and your "comrades" to the Soul Chamber?" Sheeva asked in annoyance towards the sorcerer "Yes, Your Highness" (Name) replies as Calithea plays with her dress as she sits on the floor. Sheeva turns her attention to Shang Tsung and glares "Have you come from the future only to insult me? I am no sword for hire"

"This request is far below your present station, Your Highness. But defeating Kronika depends on us reaching that chamber" Shang Tsung replied earning a glare from (Name) and a nudge "Shang, Be respectful" She hissed under her breath causing him to smirk at her "Why?" Sheeva questions "Because we must restore Sindel" Said (Name). At the name, Sheeva's eyes widen and her face drops in shock, but for a moment "My Empress…" She said breathless.

Nightwolf and Fujin walk into the throne room, carrying a coffin between them. As Sheeva looks on, her expression changes to bewilderment as they set the coffin on a table before the throne. She stands up and walks down the steps from the throne to gaze into the coffin. She looks into the glass covering and takes in the sight of the revenant Sindel.

"You've captured her revenant," She says "Yeah they did. Fujin and Shang Tsung can restore her to life, Sheeva" (Name) replies "Why? To make a slave of her, as Quan Chi did?" Sheeva accused "So that she can aid us against Kronika. But you have my vow she will return free of all influence" Fujin replied

Sheeva looks down, conflicted at these words. Shang Tsung slyly notes her apprehension as he starts speaking "As I recall, you were blood-bound to Empress Sindel" He said "I was her protector for life" Sheeva replied "How it must have pained you when she died" His face and tone are lined with calculated empathy. Sheeva looked downcast "Shang! That's enough!" (Name) barked making Calithea look up at her mother. (Name) turns to Sheeva and looks at her with empathy "Queen Sheeva What happened was not your fault. You couldn't save her then but now you have a chance to bring her back" She says.

She gestures to the still form in the coffin. Sheeva stares at her for a moment, then brings her head up to face (Name) "Then I w--" She stops herself before uttering anything further. Her sorrow turns to resolve "No. We must present this to Kitana Kahn" She says "Respectfully, your Highness, if we approach Kitana--" Fujin said "She'll cut Shang Tsung's head off" Nightwolf finished "Kitana never appreciated my contributions to the Empire" Shang Tsung said "Like replacing her with an evil clone?" Nightwolf Questioned.

"Yes," Shang Tsung says the word with no remorse, only a smirk. Nightwolf looks unamused. Sheeva turns to (Name) who picks up Calithea "Would she not listen to you?" She asks as Calithea plays with Sheeva's hand smiling "Unfortunately not. She'd assume the worst. Besides the me of this time is probably at the firegardens by now" (Name) replied. Fujin walks around the coffin to face Sheeva directly "Time is short, Queen Sheeva. We must act now and beg Kitana's forgiveness later, after restoring her mother. Will you help us?" He asked. Sheeva looks away from him, again peering down at the coffin that contains Sindel's revenant.

"By concealing you from Kitana, I betray my oath to her…but my life belongs to Sindel" She replies. Nightwolf and Shang glance at each other, both realizing she has finally come around. Sheeva turns to Tsung "You will be recognised by Kitana's imperial guard" She states "True. They won't take to me kindly" He replied. Before them all, he suddenly shapeshifts into a Shokan with nothing more than a flourish of soul magic. Sheeva takes a moment to appraise his face paint and appearance.

"That will do," She said then turned to (Name) and Calithea "(Name) there is a small passage I wish for you to take instead. for the safety of your daughter and on the off chance you'd come across your past-self" (Name) looked surprised "But-" "It is for the best, Lady (Name)" Fujin said as he came to her side before whispering to her "Knowing how you are…I know you'll try to change his fate" Her eyes widen for a moment, letting out a small gasp, before turning sad. She closes her eyes and nods slowly "Right. You're right" She said softly as Calithea laid in her arms.

The scene cuts to a pool of bubbling green acid, the edge of which is lined with bloodied skulls and other pieces of skeletons. It is the Dead Pool, and the camera pans upwards to see Sheeva walking across the sole walkway in the area, accompanied by Fujin, Nightwolf, and the disguised Shang Tsung, the latter two carrying the coffin between them.

"We've made it this far," Sheeva says as she points ahead of her "There's a stairway beyond those doors, and at the top…" "The Soul Chamber" Shang Tsung finished his eyes glowing green with soul-powered energy "I feel it"

As they walk across the chamber, another voice sounds out behind them.

"So there he was, neck deep in shit, cowering in the business end of an outhouse…"

The raucous laughter of Tarkatans echoes across his speech. Sheeva and Fujin stop and turn around at the noise.

"…he picked a bad place to hide and an even worse place to die"

The mercenary Erron Black walks into the Dead Pool, drawing one of his pistols. Baraka follows him, scraping one of his arm blades across the side of a nearby wall. Behind him are five other Tarkatans. They approach the foursome.

"Sheeva!" Said Baraka. Sheeva looks to Fujin "Follow my lead" She says she and Baraka walk up to each other "Earthrealmers, Sheeva, and a coffin. What secret did you plan to bury here?" Baraka enquired "It is the Kahn's business, Baraka" Sheeva replied "We're equal partners, remember? The Kahn's business is my business.

He walks over to the disguised Shang Tsung, who does not turn to face him. His face is nervous as Baraka stands behind him, looking over his shoulder. After a few moments, the Tarkatan addresses him "You are not Shokan" He breathes in deeply, sniffing the air around Shang "I know that scent" The sorcerer's expression turns to worry "Smells like… Shang Tsung!"

Tsung's eyes widen in shock, but he reacts too late. Baraka pulls out his arm blade and stabs him in the back. With little effort, Baraka raises him into the air, still impaled on the blade. The pain proves too much and Shang Tsung reverts to his human form. Baraka pulls the blade out and Tsung falls to his knees, a hand grasping at his open wound. The other Tarkatans start forward, drawing their arm blades. Baraka steps back next to them and Erron Black "How's that for strange bedfellows" Said Erron as he draws his pistols and points them at Sheeva and Fujin "Whaddya say we skip the preliminaries and y'all come with us quietly? We'll have a nice friendly chat with Kitana Kahn"

Behind Sheeva, Fujin helps Shang Tsung to his feet "There's no time for chat. We must get to the Soul Chamber, urgently!" Sheeva said "Then go on and get to it. But we're taking Shang Tsung…and that coffin" Erron stated.

Baraka roars and points his arm blade at Tsung. The Tarkatans charge, but Tsung suddenly launches a flaming skull at them. The Tarkatans manage to dodge, but one is caught in the blow-back and loses his footing, falling into the pool of acid. Everyone stops to watch as the Tarkatan screams and flails in agony, the caustic liquid quickly dissolving his flesh. Barely a couple of seconds pass before the green pool starts mixing with the red of his blood.

Baraka narrows his eyes in tranquil fury. Sheeva looks on with a mixture of horror and pity. Shang Tsung smirks, looking ready to burst out laughing. Soon all that is left of the unfortunate Tarkatan is a bloodied skull. Baraka growls at the sight "My sincere apologies" Says Shang Tsung.

The sarcastic comment is too much for the Tarkatans. They all draw their arm blades and charge. Before they can close in, Fujin summons a tornado of wind and traps them. He slams his hands down and they are blown back across the walkway, with Only Baraka keeping his footing.

Erron aims his pistol at Nightwolf and fires, but the Native American pulls his tomahawk from his back and throws it. In slow motion, we see the bullet fired from Erron's pistol come into contact with the blade of the tomahawk… and it is cleaved in two from the impact. As normal time resumes, Erron leans to the right just in time to avoid the tomahawk colliding with his head.

Baraka and Sheeva approach one another "Tarkatan blood is shed! You will atone, Sheeva" He snarled.

"Were you not warned? Tarkatans are all mouth and no ears"

They fight. In spite of Baraka's savage fighting ability and his deadly blades, Sheeva proves herself his superior in strength, size, and skill. After a brief struggle, Baraka is beaten to the ground.

"You speak when you should listen"

Suddenly, a bullet ricochets off Sheeva's shoulder armor, failing to penetrate but forcing her back a step. She turns to see Erron Black firing his pistols at Nightwolf, who rolls into cover behind the coffin. As Black closes in, Sheeva charges into his flank and sucker punches him, sending him sprawling. He picks himself up as she approaches.

"Time to spill it. Who's toes up in that coffin?" Erron asks "Empress Sindel. We can restore her with the Soul Chamber!" Sheeva said confusing Erron.

"Hold up, Sheeva. You're resurrecting Kitana's evil mama? The same one darlin' put in the ground? Whatever your reasons… this ain't a good look for you"

They fight. With his various armaments and dirty tricks, Erron Black is unlike many foes Sheeva has fought. But Sheeva is far from defenseless, and with her sheer strength and fighting prowess, she overcomes these obstacles and Black is soon left down and out.

"Know your place, Outlander"

Sheeva regroups with Shang Tsung. Behind them, Nightwolf and Fujin pick up the coffin "Let's move quickly" Said Sheeva. As they proceed towards the Soul Chamber, a new figure runs into the Dead Pool before them. It is Jade, who takes in the sight before her with anger "What in Argus' name is happening out here?" She asked with anger. No one responds. Nightwolf and Fujin place the coffin back on the ground, and Jade looks directly at the sorcerer, recognizing him at once. Her eyes narrow in disgust.

"Shang Tsung! I thought I saw you slither away from the Koliseum" She hissed. Shang smirks back at her, inclining his head in a mocking half-bow "You always were perceptive" He said mockingly. Sheeva holds up one of her hands "We have no wish to fight, Jade" She says as she motions to the coffin "This is Sindel's revenant"

Nightwolf and Shang step to one side to allow her a better view of the coffin. She approached it, looking curious "We can restore her to life, so she can join the fight against Kronika," Sheeva said "Please, Jade… we must enter" Fujin pleaded "You have yet to convince me" Said Jade. She steps around the coffin, still looking down at Sindel's form "Even if you do, the Soul Chamber is occupied. Kotal uses it to mend his body. (Name) may have moved his spine back into place but Disrupting him now could leave his injuries in a worse state than they already are" She said worried for her love.

"I promise, we will not disturb him" Said Shang Tsung. He holds his hands out wide in faux reassurance. Sending Jade is getting agitated by his actions, Sheeva slowly walks around towards her "Your promises are empty, sorcerer!" Jade barked. Shang Tsung steps to one side, allowing Sheeva to approach Jade "We will not harm Kotal. As my ally, you should trust me" Sheeva promised. Jade says nothing but assumes a fighting stance.

"So much for Edenian loyalty"

They fight. In the past, Jade's speed and skill enabled her to beat Sheeva in a straight fight. But the Queen of the Shokan remembers the lessons she learned and applies them here, managing to avoid Jade's attacks and land hers effectively. After a fierce melee, she manages to defeat the Edenian.

"You will recover"

She walks off. The scene cuts to the Soul Chamber. Sheeva, Shang Tsung, Nightwolf and Fujin (still carrying the coffin between them) walk into the mysterious dungeon. They pass statues of snakes bearing glass orbs in their open maws that swirl with soul energy, finally passing through a set of doors that leads to the chamber itself - carved out of the gigantic skull of an unknown Outworld monster with six horns protruding from its head.

Floating in the chamber, surrounded by swirling soul energy, is the Osh-Tekk formerly known as Kotal Kahn, but now simply as Kotal. He appears to be asleep as the foursome approaches the chamber. Nightwolf and Fujin set the coffin down and all four of them take in the sight of Kotal "Do we wait? Or do we wake him?" Nightwolf asks confused. Shang Tsung does not reply but gives a calculating look at Kotal. It is Sheeva who speaks first "Kotal"

Kotal stirs at the sound of his name. He flexes his hands and stretches, pushing himself free of the chamber. As the soul energy dissipates, he staggers slightly as he sets down and tries to keep his footing "Sheeva? What is… where is Jade?" He questions. He looks around and takes in the sight of Shang Tsung "And why is HE here?" He points at the sorcerer, evidently none too pleased to see him.

"Later, Kotal. For now, we must--" "I recall my captivity in your Flesh Pits all too well" Kotal interrupted Sheeva as he glared at Shang Tsung. He takes a step forward but grimaces in pain. His walk is rather unsteady, but he keeps approaching until he finally falls to one knee. Sheeva kneels to help him, holding him upright with all four of her arms "You need more time to heal" She said. Kotal suddenly stands upright and pushes Sheeva away "I am strong enough to kill him," He says. He starts for Shang Tsung, who gets into a fighting stance, but Sheeva intercepts Kotal and blocks his path, holding him back.

"Today, he is our ally. With his sorcery, Sindel can live again" Sheva tried to help him understand but once again, Kotal shoves her away "Necromancy is forbidden!" He stated. He points a finger in her face "You have taken leave of your senses" He looks over to Shang "Reverse the spell you have cast on them, sorcerer!"

He again closes in, but Sheeva grapples him once more and holds him back. Kotal throws a punch, but Sheeva catches his wrist with her two left hands and pushes him back. He grabs at her with his free hand, which she grabs with her two free arms. As they struggle against each other, Sheeva looks over to Shang Tsung "Do your work! I can hold Kotal!" Sheeva grunted.

Without further ado, Fujin summons his wind powers and uses them to remove the coffin lid, and then to levitate Sindel's body. His wind powers direct the unconscious revenant directly into the chamber, where the swirling soul energy begins to gather around her. As Shang Tsung readies his soul magic and uses it to expose Sindel's heart, Fujin holds up the vial of Jinsei, which begins to sparkle with blue energy.

"It has begun!" Said Shang Tsung. To the side, Kotal frees one of his arms and shoulder barges Sheeva, forcing her back. He looks over to them, then back to her.

"You dare obstruct my justice? If you wish to keep all four arms… stand aside!"

They fight. Having fought and defeated even the mighty Goro, Kotal would normally be a challenge too much for Sheeva to overcome, but he is not at his full strength and she can take advantage of it. In spite of this though, Kotal still puts up an incredible fight, and it takes everything Sheeva has to put him on the ground for a moment.

"I'll submit to Kitana Kahn's justice, not yours"

Kotal rises back to his feet and takes another swing at Sheeva, but she ducks behind his blow, grapples him from behind, and holds him fast in a half-nelson sleeper hold. She interlocks her lower arms, preventing him from prying her loose with his free hand, and keeps her upper hands pressed down on his head. Gradually, he starts to fall unconscious.

A few columns of stone move from the left side of the wall revealing a passageway lit by torches. From the darkness (Name) walks out with Calithea, who is wide awake, she looks to see Kotal restrained by Sheeva. She worries but pushes those feelings aside, knowing it's for the best to stay out of his sight, and walks towards the rest of them.

Behind them, Fujin and Shang Tsung continue to work their magic. Kotal finally falls limp and Sheeva sets him down as gently as she can… only to find Kitana Kahn walking into the chamber, flanked by four Outworld soldiers "Queen Sheeva!" Kitana shouted "Kitana Kahn. I--" Sheeva said as she bowed, but Kitana held a hand up "Hold your tongue. Jade told me everything" Kitana said coldly. She looks toward Fujin and Shang Tsung, who are still channeling the Jinsei and soul magic of the chamber "Nothing good can come from that sorcerer's hands" Kitana said about to stop them.

"Kitana! Wait!" (Name) said confusing Kitana "How…but…you shouldn't be here," Kitana said unable to understand how (Name) was her when she was supposed to be on a mission with Hanzo and Kuia Liang" "I know this is confusing, Kitana, but I-" Nightwolf approaches Sheeva's side and stand in front of (Name) as they talk interrupting (Name) "He will restore your mother, Kitana Kahn," Sheeva said trying to ease her worries. Kitana suddenly closes her eyes at the words. When she opens them, she is visibly wracked with conflict "For a thousand years I've dreamed of seeing her alive again. But her soul deserves better than to be corrupted by Shang Tsung" She says then she starts to walk past them "This perversion ends now"

Nightwolf draws his weapons, ready to take on the Outworld soldiers. Sheeva intercepts Kitana and shoves her back "How quickly your oath to me is broken, Sheeva," She says

"I have been bound to your mother for millennia. I must honor her!"

They fight. With her speed and fighting ability, Kitana presents a formidable threat to Sheeva in a way completely different from Kotal before her. But Sheeva, driven by her loyalty to Sindel, is able to match the new Kahn of Outworld step for step. She eventually manages to overpower Kitana and leave her beaten on her knees.

"Forgive me, Kitana Kahn"

As Kitana looks on, Shang Tsung and Fujin approach the Soul Chamber, maximizing the strength of their magic and focusing it on Sindel. As they do so, they see her heart beginning to beat again. Sensing this, they look at one another and push themselves to their absolute limit. The effect on Sindel is immediate; the cracked, greyed skin of her revenant is restored into living flesh once again, and the hole in her chest that revealed her heart is sealed back once more. Suddenly, she gasps and opens her eyes… which are no longer milky white, but Edenian once more.

Fujin and Shang step back, satisfied with their work. Sheeva helps a stunned Kitana back to her feet. (Name) stares at Sindel with memories of their first and last encounter, how it ended in her killing Sindel. Sindel steps free of the chamber, wobbling a bit on her feet. She falls forward after a few steps, but Shang Tsung catches her.

"What have you done" Kitana says but Sheeva doesn't answer. Sindel looks around her, clearly unsure of her surroundings "Welcome back, Your Highness" Shang Stung says. Sindel looks toward him and angrily shoves him away from her, still looking rather disorientated "It pleases me to see you, too" He says smirking "Am I alive? Is this real?" Sindel asks as she looks down at her restored hands "It is, Lady Sindel. A miracle we could not have achieved… without your most loyal subject" Fujin says then he looks at Sheeva.

"Sheeva?" Sindel questions. The Shokan Queen approaches her "Empress, though today I have aided you, too often have I failed to protect you. I am not worthy" Sheeva says as she bows in submission. Sindel smiles warmly in response "Aw, nonsense. Today, you give me the greatest gift - a second chance! Your duty is fulfilled. I am in your debt now" Sindel replied then she bowed her head to Sheeva "Thank you, Empress" Sindel looked around "Where is my daughter?"

She spots Kitana, who removes her veil as she takes in the sight of her mother. Sindel breaks out another warm smile and opens her arms in an embrace "Kitana…" Kitana approaches her, hopeful but also wary. She steps toward Sindel but suddenly pulls back. Sindel looks concerned at her wariness.

"It is me, Kitana. Your mother" "I… I want to feel joy, but all I feel is… I was only a child when you… you…" Kitana looks ready to burst into tears as the emotional pain of the past hits her "How could you kill yourself?! Why did you abandon me?" She says heartbroken "I did neither, Kitana. After being forced to wed Shao Kahn, I ran afoul of Quan Chi. He accused me of "distracting" Shao Kahn. Then the miscreant murdered me, and staged my death as a suicide" Sindel explained.

"…As I had always suspected," Says Sheeva "But… all this time? Everything I've been told about you, it's all… lies? What can I trust?" Kitana says trying to make sense of it all "Trust… that I loved your father, Jerrod" Sindel said as she approached her daughter and placed her hand on the back of her head, stroking her hair "Trust that I love you" She pulls Kitana into a gentle hug, smiling. Kitana finally reciprocates "Oh, mother!"

As they break apart, Fujin calls out, addressing them both "This reunion is a blessing, but we have little time to celebrate. We must leave for Shang Tsung's island to finish our quest" "I would go with you, fight by your side, but…" Kitana trails off "Outworld needs its Kahn, I know," Sindel says as she strokes her daughter's face and places her hand on her shoulder "Rest assured, Kitana. I will come home"

Sindel notices (Name) standing behind Kitana a few feet away, Calithea is behind her mother's legs "You…I remember you…" Sindel said slowly approaching (Name), who was feeling emotional a bit, as Sindel was the first person she ever killed, and now here she was alive. Memories of the first time Sindel ever met (Name) flash in Sindel's mind. The image flashing between the 18-year-old girl she saw once to the 28-year-old woman she sees now "I…I don't…I can't even begin to apologize for" "Hush now, Dear, you did the right thing. I don't blame you for protecting those you love" Sindel said holding (Name)s shoulders. (Name) tears up and nods "You've grown up quite a lot," Sindel says smiling. (Name) tearfully laughs "A lot can change in 10 years," She says.

"Mama?" Calithea asks tugging her mother's clothes causing Sindle and (Name) to look down. Sindel looks on in interest as (Name) picks up Calithea "Mama? Who's that?" Calithea asked pointing to Sindel "Sindel…I want you to meet your granddaughter. Cali this is your grandma" (Name) said shyly looking at Sindel.

Sindel is shocked "but…I have no sons…how is this-?" "Shang Tsung created a clone of Kitana in his flesh pits. Her name was Mileena. It's a long story but-" Sindel raises her hand "I understand enough" She says gently and turns her gaze to Calithea, who looks at Sindel with a wide-eyed wonder-filled look, and raises her arms slightly "May I?" She asked softly. (Name) nodded and gently handed Calithea to Sindel. Calithea looks up at her and smiles as she shows off her little fangs "Nana?" She asked tilting her head. Sindel looked at her with a softened gaze for a brief moment it felt as though she was holding a young Kitana in her arms again "Hello, my darling" She whispered overcome with emotion.

The scene cuts to Kronika's Keep. The Titan of Time is manipulating the Hourglass, along with her daughter Cetrion.

"Sindel has been restored. Shang Tsung would only undertake such an arduous task if her aid promised a decisive advantage" Kronika says "She is but one mortal--" "--And one of the few who can harm you along with that woman" Kronkia inturrupts Cetrion "I fear no harm" "They are at Shang Tsung's island" "Your crown. Shang Tsung knows" "Then our time for preparation is over. Go to the island now"

Cetrion bows in agreement "We cannot win their hearts, so do not try. Do not permit your better nature to compromise you" Kronika says. There is no empathy in her statement. Cetrion only nods in response "I understand, Mother" She flies backward for a few moments, before magically transforming from her regular green attire into her fiery, more devilish form, with a large explosion accompanying this transformation.

Mortal Kombat 11 x reader: Chapter 13 Aftermath

The scene opens at the Dawn of Time. From afar, we see an outstretch of rock, and on that rock is the Hourglass of Time. As the camera zooms in, we see two figures in front of the hourglass. One is the Fire God Liu Kang, who has just knocked the other - Kronika, the Keeper of Time - to her knees.

Liu Kang approaches the now crystalline form of Kronika. He chops her outstretched hand, shattering her arm to the elbow, then repeats the motion with her other arm, shattering that too. Growling in fury, he roundhouse kicks her across the face, and her entire head explodes into pieces. He then contemptuously pushes down what remains of her body, letting it break apart completely upon impact with the ground.

With the Titan of Time lying dead at his feet, Liu Kang closes his eyes, trying to find focus again when he's engulfed in a hug. He opens his eyes to see, both, (Name) and Calithea hugging him smiling. He smiles back and returns the hug "She is gone. There is nothing to fear anymore" He said pulling back enough to see (Name)'s face "We're just happy you're alive and well, Liu," She said smiling. Calithea smiles up at him "You're ok, Fire man! No more bad lady!" She says showing off her little fangs in her smile. He chuckles and pets her hair "Correct, little one. No more bad lady"

"Our work is finished, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang turns around. Behind him stands Raiden…but something is different. Raiden's attire is the same as before, but his voice no longer reverberates with power.

"Lord Raiden" Liu Kang said surprised as he let go of (Name). Raiden looks up at him. There is no electric blue glow in his eyes. His pupils are brown and look entirely human "I am merely Raiden, now. You have proven worthy to take my place as the new Protector of Earthrealm, once it is restored" Raiden said "You honor me, Raiden" Liu Kang replied as he clasped his hands and bowed "The honor is mine, Lord Liu Kang. The sands of time are yours to shape. It falls upon you to architect a new history" Said Raiden before he turned to (Name) with a remorseful look in his eyes.

"Lady (Name). I know I do not deserve to even ask for your forgiveness for all the harm and pain I have put you through the years" Raiden said with sorrow before a hand was placed on his shoulder "I forgive you Raiden…Yes, it hurt for many years but I grew stronger because of those actions. so please don't beat yourself up over it" S.he said smiling at him as he returned the smile. (Name) looked to Liu Kang "Time to give the realms the histories they deserve, Liu" (Name) said smiling

"The fate of all realms… in my hands? Raiden, I cannot do this alone" Liu Kang said slightly nervous "I shall advise you for as long as my mortality allows. But have no doubt, you are up to the task" Raiden replied "As will I. We won't leave you alone while we still exist" (Name) said with a look of determination and Calithea giggled looking up at him.

"Then together, let us begin," Liu Kang said determined

As the four of them turn to the hourglass, the title of the DLC appears across the sky for a few moments, before fading out:

"MORTAL KOMBAT 11 AFTERMATH"

As the new God of Fire and Thunder begins to motion with his hands, the sands inside the hourglass begin to shift, while turquoise time magic reverberates off both. However, that's not all that happens - the hourglass itself begins to crack across its glass surface. Liu Kang seems a little perplexed by this but continues to manipulate the sands within. Suddenly, a fiery portal opens to his right, and a voice shouts from within.

"Cease, Liu Kang, before you doom us all!"

Liu Kang And (Name) turn to the portal. Three figures step through, concealed in shadow at first through the brightness of the portal, but as they step closer the figures become recognizable.

The leftmost is Fujin, God of Wind and brother of Raiden.

The rightmost is Nightwolf, formerly Grey Cloud, of the Matoka tribe.

And the man in the center is aged, with a long flowing beard and grey hair, but he is none other than Liu Kang's old enemy…Shang Tsung.

Raiden steps in front of Liu Kang and (Name), his now mortal eyes widening in shock "Shang Tsung?!" Raiden said shocked "Nightwolf? Fujin?! What are you--" "Cease your magic, before the hourglass shatters" Shang Tsung interrupted Liu Kang

"Even here, at the dawn of time, you spew lies and deceit. We will not hear it!" Raiden said with disdain in his eyes "In defeating Kronika, you destroyed her crown. Without it, you can't restart history. The hourglass will shatter. All realms will be lost" Shang Tsung explained. Raiden looked at Fujin and asked, "Fujin, is this true?" "Kronika's every action was taken to ensure her crown's preparation. She would not dare to restart history without it" Fujin replied.

Behind them, Liu Kang stops manipulating the sands, causing the magic to fizzle out. He turns to the new arrivals "How do you know this?" He asked as (Name) stood beside him looking worried "Kronika came to each of us. For our help, she offered places in her New Era. For refusing her, we were banished to a void beyond time" Nightwolf explained "We could observe the events leading up to your siege of the Keep" Said Fujin as a look of sadness crossed his face he looked to (Name) and Calithea "but we were powerless to intervene" He said Finishing his sentence. (Name) looks pained understanding he saw Hanozos death "But then you killed Kronika. The void's seal was broken open, permitting our escape via the hourglass" Said Shang Tsung.

"If you know so much about the hourglass, how do you propose I reset the timeline?" Liu Kang enquired "With the crown" Shang Tsung stated. Liu Kang and Raiden exchanged looks with each other while (Name) stepped forward "That's impossible. The crown was destroyed. it's gone" She said. Shang Tsung turned his gaze to her "Only in our present. Not in our past" He said "And while I cannot restart history without the crown…" Liu Kang said slowly understanding "You can send travelers back into the current timeline" Shang Tsung finished

Raiden folds his arms, looking unconvinced, while Shang Tsung slowly clasps his hands together. (Name) holds Calithea, who has placed her head in the crook of her mother's neck, a little closer.

"I see… I must return to the moment before Kronika's defeat, and end that battle differently, so that her crown remains intact" Liu Kang said understanding what he must do. Shang Tsung waves a hand in the air, seemingly dismissing the thought. He turns away from the group as he walks, gathering his scheming thoughts "That leaves too much to chance. Kronika must never possess the crown. Otherwise, you cannot guarantee victory" He said. Liu Kang walks toward Tsung, facing him directly "What do you propose, sorcerer?" Shang Tsung starts to walk around the group again "That you send me into the past to steal the crown from my island before Kronika sends Cetrion to claim it. I'll then deliver it to Lord Raiden and together we'll defeat Kronika. With the crown and hourglass under our control, we can restart history safely" He states

Raiden snorts in contempt "Why are we listening to this snake?" He sneers "Because I am a snake who's toiled beside Kronika, learning her secrets. I know them. Do you?" Shang Tsung replies. He ends his sentence with an arrogant smirk. Liu Kang raised a hand toward Raiden before he could do anything about it "He has a point, Raiden" Liu Kang said then looked over to Fujin "Fujin, a word?"

Both of them walk away from the group, far enough that they can't be heard by the others.

(Name) walks to Nightwolf, with a look of nostalgia on her face "It's been a long time, Nightwolf" She said smiling softly as she shifted Calithea in her arms "Indeed it has, young one. You've grown so much since I last saw you" He said looking at her fondly. Though she may have grown older, her face showed age and maturity, battle scars marring her skin and her eyes a different color. He could still see glimpses of the wide-eyed 18-year-old girl who wholeheartedly believed that people deserved a chance and that she could make a difference. He looks down at Calithea, who is staring back up at him in wonder "This is.." He says softly confused. (Name) smiles "This is Calithea…She's my daughter" (Name) answered. Nightwolf's eyes widened in surprise as he looked from her and then slowly to Calithea. (Name) softly laughed before looking down at her "Cali? This is Mama's old friend, Nightwolf" Calithea looked up at (Name) and then at Nightwolf. She smiled and waved her hand "Hi!" she said making Nightwolf smile seeing how her smile mirrored her mother's "Hello, young one"

Meanwhile, Raiden and Shang Tsung remain face to face, with Nightwolf looking over at Liu Kang and Fujin while conversing with (Name) and Calithea.

"How is it you conspire against Kronika? Did her promises of grandeur not suit you?" Raiden asks suspiciously "She wanted me to be her pawn, not her partner. She sculpted my entire existence to serve her, to collect souls for her crown. When my purpose was served, she betrayed me, casting me into the void" Shang Tsung answered "Your grievance does not fool me, Shang Tsung" "Then trust that we have a shared interest in breaking Kronika's stranglehold on our destinies" "Inevitably, our interests will diverge" "This alliance is temporary. Have no illusions otherwise"

As they speak, Liu Kang and Fujin walk back towards them, still in conversation "I understand your misgivings, but it is the only way" Said Liu Kang. Fujin holds his arms up in protest and stops for a moment "But the risk, Liu Kang--" "--will be rewarded" Liu Kang interrupted Fujin

Fujin lowers his arms and closes his eyes, seemingly conflicted "Say nothing to Nightwolf nor (Name). She is the one I worry about the most" Said Liu Kang as he put a hand on Fujin's shoulder. Fujin nods in response, and they rejoin the others.

Fujin walks to (Name) and smiles "It's been some time" He says as he greets her "It has. The last time we saw each other was a few weeks after I was placed in Kotal Kahn's service" She replied with a smile. Calithea reaches for Fujin "Windy man!" she says and giggles as he picks her up "Hello, young Calithea, my how you have grown" Fujin says with a small smile as he allows wind to blow in her face making her squeal with joy.

"We will proceed with your plan, Shang Tsung. I must stay behind, to operate the hourglass, but Nightwolf, (Name), and Fujin will go with you, to supervise" Liu Kang stated "I welcome the assistance" Shang Tsung said insincerity dripping off every word he spoke. Fujin hands Calithea back to (Name) "I will join you" Raiden says ready to go "No, Raiden. I need your counsel here. Have faith in Fujin, (Name) and Nightwolf" Said Liu Kang. Raiden walks toward Fujin "If I have faith in anyone, it is you, brother" Raided said as he places a hand on Fujin's shoulder, who returns the gesture with a smile. Liu Kang walks toward the hourglass "Calithea will have to stay here so as not to be put in harm's way" Said Raiden.

(Name) goes to put Calithea down "NO!" She shouted, surprising the others, Clinging to her mother's leg "Cali, Honey, it's dangerous to come with me. I don't want you getting hurt" (Name) said sadly "Listen to your mother, Child, this is not safe for you" Shang Tsung stated as he looked at Calithea in curiosity "NO! I'm going with my mama!" She shouted stubbornly. Fujin walked to her and kneeled to her height "Calithea, it will be very dangerous. you will get hurt if you go" He said gently. Calithea teared up and hid her face in (Name)s leg whimpering tearfully "No…My mama…My mama…" She cried softly. (Name)s heart softened as she sighed "…Alright baby…You can come with Mama" She said as she picked Calithea back up and cradled her in her arms "You cannot be serious" Raiden said in shock. (Name) looked at Raiden with a raised eyebrow "Do either of you even know how to look after a toddler?" she asked, referring to both Liu Kang and Raiden, knowing neither of them did. No one else bothers to say a word against it because if there is one thing they all can agree on it's that no matter what point in time it is once (Name) puts her foot down on something it stays down.

"I will try to send you back to the time merger," Liu Kang said as his arms lit up with fire and his tattoos glowed with blue "You should have enough time to claim the crown before Cetrion delivers it to Kronika"

"Your confidence is inspiring," Says Nightwolf like Shang Tsung before him, his tone is laced with sarcasm. Everyone looks at him for a moment "As the Keeper of Time, I am still a novice, Nightwolf" Liu Kang replied then he looked back to the hourglass "May the Great Spirit protect us" Nightwolf says.

Liu Kang once again starts to magically manipulate the sands in the hourglass. A massive sandstorm rises from it and obscures our view of events.

The scene cuts to a wide shot of the Outworld Coliseum. The influence of Kotal Kahn is evident, from the Osh-Tekk design of the buildings to the large statues of Kotal himself on opposite sides of the superstructure.

We cut to the inside of the Coliseum, and amidst the raucous cheering of the crowd, Kotal Kahn is imprisoned in the center of the stadium in a stock. He struggles within it, but cannot even move a muscle. Shao Kahn stands next to him with Kollector slightly behind, addressing the crowd.

"You've suffered too long at this pretender's hands. But I've returned, and I will save you from his madness!" he proclaims. The crowd - only caring about seeing a good show - cheers his words. Shao Kahn magically summons his warhammer into his hands "Only I can rebuild the empire. All realms will tremble before me! Outworld will again be conquerors, never the conquered!" The crowd begins to chant Shao Kahn's name, increasing in intensity. He roars in triumph as they cheer in excitement. Shao walks over to Kotal, preparing his Warhammer to crush Kotal's head into a paste. But before he can properly begin his swing, a loud banging resounds throughout the Koliseum.

Shao Kahn's soldiers walk over to the main doors of the stadium. Though they are barred, the doors vibrate as the banging continues. The soldiers draw their weapons as the bars on the doors begin to splint and break. Finally, we see the other side of the doors; six Outworld soldiers hold a battering ram and slam it into the door, breaking it open. Behind them, numerous other soldiers, Tarkatans and Shokan - as well as Kitana, Jade, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Sheeva, Baraka, (name), and even the older Erron Black - raise their hands and cheer. Taken aback, Shao Kahn's soldiers back up as the new arrivals stride into the Koliseum. The crowd also falls into a shocked silence as Kitana faces down her adopted father.

"Where's this boldness been hiding, Kitana? Had you shown it before, I'd have had no need for Mileena" he laughed making (name) growl Kitana slowly walked toward him. "My sister was created to be an unholy monster. Exactly like you, 'father'. Fortunately, however, she found humanity suited her better" Kitana growled making (name) smile at the fact that Kitana accepted Mileena as her sister. As soon as she is within striking range, Kitana pulls out her bladed fans and lunges at Shao Kahn, who backpedals just in time to avoid being vertically sliced down his chest. He dodges several more swipes and parries one with his Warhammer, swinging it back at her. Kitana dodges two of his strikes, then attacks him again with the fans, forcing him to parry them.

The rest of the soldiers have now started fighting. In the midst of this, a tornado of sand appears in the middle of the arena, depositing Shang Tsung, Fujin, (Name), Calithea, and Nightwolf.

Mortal Kombat 11 x reader: Chapter 12 End of an era

That person is Liu Kang, but he has drastically changed in appearance. He appears fully human, but his hair is now grey, his eyes glowing electric blue, his tattoos generating electricity and his body generating flames. Raiden's hat is on his back, and his trousers now have a blue shade on them as opposed to red. His bandanna is now metallic and he wears a necklace of beads.

Liu Kang stands to his feet, looking at his outstretched hands, in awe at his new powers. He closes them into fists and puts them back down at his side.

Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Jax all begin to walk forward. Kung Lao teleports onto the deck from his ship and Kitana jumps over from hers, landing next to Kharon. All of them take in the sight of the radically changed Liu Kang.

"Liu Kang?" Asked Sub-Zero "I am..." Liu Kang begins to say before he stops pulsating with electricity and fire, but his eyes are now bright blue, as are his tattoos. "...And I am not" "What happened to Raiden?" Asked Jax "He is part of me. Bound to my soul. He... made me a god. For now, at least" Liu Kang replies

"A god? Incredible" Kitana commented "My revenant counterpart. I have absorbed his knowledge of the Keep, of Kronika's plan. I know where to find the hourglass. We can beat Kronika" Said Liu Kang "Is Lady (Name) and Calithea safe?" Kung Lao asked worried "They both are unharmed. Lady (Name) is chained and cuffed as is Calithea" Liu Kang Replied.

Back in Kronika's Keep, both she and Cetrion look upon the chair that once bound Liu Kang. Kronika is wide-eyed and more perplexed than we have ever seen her before "Out of desperation comes invention. I had not thought it possible for Raiden to surprise me" Says Kronika as she addresses Cetrion without even looking at her "Our success is no longer certain. We must make haste"

They walk back to the hourglass and begin manipulating the sands once again all the while (Name) watches them as she holds Calithea close to her chest.

Back on the shoreline, Kharon's flagships have almost reached land. Waiting for them is the Netherrealm army, and the oni demons roar in anticipation and charge the shoreline. The ships continue forward, not decelerating in the slightest.

"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" yelled Kharon.

The flagship touches down on the shore without issue. A boarding plank is lowered as the Netherrealm army reaches the ships. Before the demons can climb up it, Sub-Zero slides down, using his ice reaches powers to freeze the ground beneath him and the demons below him. He lands on the shoreline and uses an ice axe to chop a frozen demon into shattered remains, then immediately decapitates another one.

Scorpion teleports from the ship deck in a burst of flame, coming out in the midst of the army, sending several onis into the air in flames. He punches down one oni, then rips the heart out of another.

The ship containing the Special Forces crashes into a dock, smashing it into a splintered ruin. With a loud cheer, the vanguard runs down the boarding plank. Three soldiers on deck chuck grenades at the army, which blow up and kill several demons in one go. More demons charge as Cassie, Jacqui and the younger Jax zipline down to the shore. The oni charging them are cut into bloodied strips by the firepower of Jax's assault rifle, Jacqui's wrist cannons and Cassie's pistols.

Another ship crashes onto the shoreline, and Kung Lao and the Shaolin monks all acrobatically leap off the ship, landing expertly on the ship's large oars on its starboard side. They run across the oars and touch down on the ground to face the Netherrealm army. Kung Lao drops an oni with a jumping spin-kick, drops another with a punch and roundhouse kick, and a third with a snap kick.

The Netherrealm army also charged the last ship touching on land. On that ship, Kitana lifts a hand containing her bladed fans into the air. With a loud cry, she points with her fan to the army and leaps ashore, joined immediately by Baraka, Sheeva and Jade, and a second later followed by the soldiers, Tarkatan and Shokan they all command. The Outworld army pumps themselves up with chants as the Netherrealm army charges toward them, and with one final cry, they all run forward, joining the battle.

Kitana blocks a blow from a spiked club with her blades, throwing the weapon aside and cutting into the demon who wielded it. She knocks it down with a jumping high kick as Sheeva charges two demons, grabs their heads and bashes them together, knocking them down in a spray of blood, before backhanding another charging demon aside with her two right hands.

Back at the Special Forces boat, Cassie, Jacqui and Jax cut down countless demons approaching them with their gunfire, but it seems like they will soon be overwhelmed. But above them on the boat, the elder Jax stands on the edge of the bow. He leaps off, his fist charging with energy. Just as the Netherrealm army is about to swarm over them, Jax lands on the pier deck and smashes his fist into the ground. The resulting shockwave blasts the entire front ranks backward several feet, clearing the area. Jax looks back toward his daughter.

"This mean you're back?" Jacqui asked hopeful "This means I'm sorry, Jacqui. And hell yeah, I'm back" He replied

Jacqui immediately hugs her dad, to the delight of Cassie and the younger Jax. The moment is quickly broken though as the Netherrealm army finishes regrouping and charges once again. Cassie and Jacqui open fire once again, while both Jax's begin punching and kicking down every demon that steps too close to them. Even so, countless more demons make their way forward.

But all of them fail to notice a disturbance in the clouds above. The clouds swirl in toward what appears to be a red glow in the sky. The light soon becomes bright enough that both Jax's, Jacqui, Cassie and even the Netherrealm army look up to the sky in shock and wonder.

At the center of the red vortex is Liu Kang, charging up with lightning. On a balcony of Kronika's Keep, the revenants Kitana and Kung Lao also watch this spectacle, flanked by two demons. As the clouds turn and swirl around him, Liu Kang gathers his focus, bursts into flames and torpedos down into the center of the Netherrealm army guarding the gates to Kronika's Keep.

The impact he causes on landing is akin to a nuclear explosion, with the entire area surrounded by white for a few moments.

When the smoke clears, Liu Kang stands alone. The Netherrealm army in the field is simply gone, vaporized into nothingness. Only a small defensive force of Netherrealm oni survived to defend the gate, while a large number still waited within the Keep itself. Behind Liu Kang, the gathered army of heroes all cheer the display of power and charge forward toward the gate of the Keep.

With the Earthrealm / Outworld armies approaching behind him, Liu Kang strides toward the gates, his arms crackling with electricity. The remnant of demons roars in defiance and charges, to which Liu Kang responds by blasting lightning from his hand. The electricity catches one demon and then immediately chains the others around it. Within moments, all the demons have been fatally electrocuted.

Liu Kang walks up to the gates, with all the heroes following after.

"Stand back"

They all wait as Liu Kang charges up his hand with fire. He strikes the gate, and the impact is so devastating that on the other side, the frontlines of the Netherrealm army are thrown into the air from the massive explosion that occurs.

The army of heroes charges toward the keep, Liu Kang now taking to the skies once more. As he flies off to deal with the defenders near the back, Kitana stabs a charging demon multiple times with her bladed fans, knocking it down with a roundhouse kick. She slashes another demon several times over, almost completely eviscerating it, then stabs a third demon four times over, finishing with a stab straight through the top of its skull.

Kung Lao palm strikes a demon twice in the chest, then splits it in two vertically with a swipe of his bladed hat.

The younger Jax blocks a demon's punch and punches it twice, leaving it for his elder self to finish off. He swipes at another demon that actually manages to duck his attack and punch him back, but the elder Jax then charges in and hits two shots to the ribs that stun the demon. Younger Jax recovers and the two Jax's both wind up their fists and punch the demon on both sides of its head, completely obliterating it.

The heroes make their way to the Keep's entrance, and we cut to inside where the revenants Kung Lao, Kitana and Jade all run into the room where the hourglass is kept "Is the battle lost?" Asked Kitana "Victory is still at hand. The hourglass is nearly ready" Kronika replied.

She turns to the revenants.

"You will prevent Liu Kang's interference. But you will require more assistance"

Time energy flows from her hands toward the revenants. On the other side of the doorway, Liu Kang, Kitana and Kung Lao approach.

"Whatever happens, I am honored to fight at your side" Said Liu Kang "Likewise, Liu Kang," said Kitana as Kung Lao placed a hand on his shoulder saying "Me too, brother."

"May the Elder Gods protect us" Said Liu Kang.

He charges his hand up with fire and punches the doorway. This time, the door melts away rather than blowing up. The three heroes step through to find Kronika and Cetrion still manipulating the hourglass and (Name) on the floor chained with her daughter, but they are stopped by the appearance of revenant Jade, Kung Lao and Kitana, all wearing new attire in the same white-gold of Kronika's clothing. Kronika looks over to Liu Kang.

"Liu Kang, God of Thunder and Fire. Combined with Raiden has the benefit of novelty. But it is also too little, too late" Said Kronika while (Name) and Calithea looked in shock at Liu Kang.

She turns back to the hourglass and pours her energy into it. The revenants move forward slightly, but don't attack. The sands in the hourglass begin to flow upwards as Liu Kang runs forward to attack, but as he does so, Kung Lao and Kitana come to a frozen halt. As Liu Kang stops and turns around, they begin to move in reverse.

"Kitana! Kung Lao!" he calls out as he tries to Kitana's hand, but is unable to stop her from moving backward. To his dismay, he can only watch as time starts to unwind, and with it, both Kitana and Kung Lao step back through the door, which unmelts and seals itself once again. Liu Kang looks back toward Kronika and the revenants, unaffected by the reversal of time.

(Name) growls and glares up at Kronika "Cheating bitch! What? Can't handle a fair fight!?" she snaps at her but Kronika only glances at her momentarily before returning her attention to the hourglass.

We cut to the scenes from before where the armies of Earthrealm and Outworld collided with the Netherrealm army, only now these scenes are being rewound. The Outworld army jumps back on their ship in reverse, the Shaolin monks leap backward on the oars of their ship, and the pier docks are reformed as Kharon's ships rewind and undo the crash damage they inflicted. Scorpion teleports in reverse back onto his ship, while Sub-Zero undecapitates and unshatters the frozen demons from earlier, sliding backwards to his ship. Kharon's ships sail off in reverse, and the Netherrealm army runs backward from the shoreline.

Back in Kronika's Keep, Liu Kang steels himself. Kronika looks over at him.

"Raiden's gift shields you from the power of the hourglass. Regardless, your allies are gone, while mine remain to defend me" She motions to the revenants.

"Finish him!"

Jade and Kitana charge Liu Kang at the same time. He parries Jade's staff with his hands and ducks under a swipe but walks into a roundhouse kick from Kung Lao. As Liu Kang staggers back, he manages to block an ax kick from Kitana but takes a sidekick to the stomach from her when she counterattacks. Kung Lao immediately strikes him in the face with another roundhouse kick, then Jade hits him in the knee with her staff and twirls around to smash it into his chest.

Liu Kang remains on his feet as the revenants come in again. He catches Kitana's hand before she can swipe him with her bladed fan and blocks Jade's staff with his other arm, but this leaves him open to Kung Lao, who blasts him with a barrage of fists to his sternum. With Liu Kang stunned, Kung Lao steps back and delivers a sidekick to the sternum that knocks Liu Kang backward, sending him crashing hard to the ground.

"Liu!" (Name) calls out worried as she struggles against the chains. Calithea slips out of her and gets up running "Fire man!" she calls out (Name) worried even more "Cali! No!" (Name) yells jumping to her feet, pulling at her chains and cuffs, trying to free herself.

For a moment, Liu Kang writhes on the floor but struggles to his feet. The revenants remain in fighting stances. Liu Kang closes his eyes to focus... and hears the voice of Raiden.

"Earthrealm's Jinsei flows within you. Let it fuel your fire"

He opens his eyes again, and now they sparkle with electricity. His face etched with fierce determination, Liu Kang looks to the heavens and roars with fury. Lightning strikes his body and fire explodes out of it once more. He shifts into a fighting stance, dispelling the fire and electricity as the three revenants charge him again.

Kung Lao attacks first with a barrage of punches, but Liu Kang parries them all, as well as some staff strikes from Jade. He then blocks a high kick from Kitana and another from Kung Lao, dodging between strikes from Kitana's fans. He grabs Kitana's hand as she tries to stab him, then steps forward and judo throws her to the floor. Before she can recover he punches her in the face, knocking her unconscious.

Liu Kang then throws a roundhouse kick that counters a palm strike from Kung Lao, blocks some more punches and lands a straight punch to Lao's face, sending him reeling back. Kang turns to his side as Jade tries to flank him, deflecting her staff attacks with his fists and feet. He jump-kicks her in the face, punches Kung Lao again when he tries to charge in and blasts him in the chest with a fireball, knocking him down.

Jade tries to stab him with her staff, but Liu Kang dodges around it, punches her in the face, then takes her staff with both hands and wrenches it downward. As Jade staggers forward, Liu Kang knees her in the face, knocking off her mask. He then twirls the staff around - taking Jade with it - and forces it against her throat, while he grabs her head from behind and pushes it down against her staff.

It's not long before Jade begins to struggle for breath, and she falls to her knees. As she lets go of her staff, Liu Kang leans downward and springs back with a devastating knee strike to the back of her neck. The blow is so powerful that Jade's staff breaks in two from the impact, and the revenant assassin collapses on the floor, killed instantly by the strike.

Liu Kang throws the broken pieces of Jade's staff to the floor and assumes another fighting stance. He addresses Kitana, who has just begun to pick herself off the floor.

"Now stand down! I have no wish to harm you.

"Harm me?! You already KILLED me! My fate was sealed the moment I joined you at Raiden's side. It's a mistake I won't repeat in the New Era"

They fight. Even with Kitana's Edenian speed and thousands of years of battle experience, Liu Kang had bested her before. And even with the power of Kronika in her revenant form, it proves to be no match for the Fire God that is Liu Kang. Taking advantage of his newfound abilities, he quickly finishes the fight and leaves Kitana down on the ground.

"Our friendship was no mistake"

He looks over to Kung Lao, who has also started to rise from the floor "Your ego knows no bounds!" Said Kung Lao. Liu Kang walks toward the revenant "I did not ask for this. It was thrust upon me" Liu Kang tried to reason with him "It should have been ME, Liu Kang, from the beginning! Thanks to Kronika, it will be"

They fight. While Kung Lao has lost none of the speed and ability that carried him to victory many times in life, and is powered up further by Kronika's machinations, it turns out to be his ego that is too big for him. The Fire God Liu Kang takes the fight to the revenant and defeats him in short order.

With Kung Lao turn, Liu Kang turns to Kronika.

Unknown to him Kitana slowly got back up and prepared to attack him from behind when a large ball of fire slammed into her, knocking her to the floor, head first, and rendering her unconscious, Liu Kang looked at the now unconscious Kitana then to (Name).

But (Name) was still shackled she looked behind him in disbelief "That...wasn't me" she whispered wide-eyed. Liu Kang looks back behind him shocked the fireball still remained in one place but slowly extinguished. All that stood there was Calithea, glaring at the fallen Kitana, without a single injury and a few embers on her skin. She points at Kitana "That was for killing my mommy and trying to hurt mama's friend!" she shouted. Liu Kang walked over to her and petted her hair smiling "Well done, little one" He said making her giggle as he picked her up. Calithea looks at her mother and laughs "Look, mama!" She says waving her hands "I'm just like you!" (Name) tears up and smiles "Yeah baby. Just like me" she says softly. Liu Kang walks to (Name) and unbinds her. Calithea leaps into her mother's awaiting arms happily.

Liu Kang turned again to Kronika "Still, you are alive" She said "Yes, Kronika. You were right to fear mine and Raiden's powers combined" He replied "A demi-god's power cannot rival that of an Elder God. Cetrion!"

Kronika steps aside to reveal Cetrion - who rather than the green outfit she wore earlier, is now decked out in red, with glowing eyes to match. Her new attire makes her look similar in appearance to a succubus "As you wish, Mother" Says Cetrion.

Cetrion throws fireballs at Liu Kang which he dodges and flips over. Liu Kang shoots a fireball of his own which Cetrion blocks. She shoots off a blast of wind that Kang cartwheels to avoid and another which he ducks under. She then throws a roundhouse kick that shoots a spark of ice, which he blocks but sends him back several feet. Liu Kang recovers quickly and jump kicks the air, shooting a fireball from his leg that Cetrion barely ducks under. She shoots another fireball that Kang ducks from, and he launches another roundhouse kick that shoots a fireball that catches her in the face, sending her onto her hands and knees. She stands again quickly "You match me step for step," She says.

She kicks the air again, sending out a fireball and an ice blast. Liu Kang dodges both projectiles and counters with a lightning blast that electrocutes the Elder Goddess, knocking her to the floor. Behind her, Kronika stares on at Liu Kang, eyes wide with fear as Cetrion struggles to rise, still being wracked with electricity.

(Name) and Calithea stands back. (Name) doesn't interfere. Something inside her tells her to stay back just like at the collisium when she let Kitana face off against Shao Kahn. Calithea watches 'fire man' fight Cetrion.

"Because your heart is not in the battle, Cetrion. You fight for your mother's vision. But as a goddess of virtue you know that her desired balance is folly" Liu Kang says

As Cetrion stands up, Kronika walks over to her "Heed me, Cetrion! He lacks our vision and wisdom!" She says. Cetrion turns away from her, clearly conflicted "Please. No virtue is served by condemning the realms to endless war" Liu Kang implores her. Cetrion looks back at Kronika for a moment, then steels herself, facing Liu Kang once again.

"The greatest virtue is abiding my mother's will, Liu Kang. I cannot fail her"

They fight. With her powers over nature and all of its elements, Cetrion should indeed be a match for the Fire God Liu Kang. But the battle does not sway that way, because Liu Kang is also the God of Thunder and he takes full advantage of the internal conflict raging in Cetrion's mind. Slipping past her attacks and into her defenses, Liu Kang manages to do the impossible and overpower the Elder Goddess, knocking her to the floor.

"Your heart betrays you, Cetrion"

Laying on the ground, Cetrion looks over to Kronika "I have failed you" She says pitifully "Dearest Cetrion, you have done admirably" What little forced compassion is in Kronika's voice dispels as Cetrion rises to her feet "Yet there is one final service to perform" She says. Cetrion looks downcast but also resigned to her fate "Yes, Mother. I understand" She said defeatedly.

She raises her hands to the heavens and cries out. Her form disintegrates into a glowing ball of multicolored light that flies into Kronika. The power that Cetrion wielded now flows out of Kronika "You will be exalted in the New Era, Cetrion"

"What is wrong with you?"

Kronika and Liu Kang turn to (Name), who stares at Kronika with disgust "She...she was your daughter...Your child, your creation and you used her to fill the fucking hourglass?" She said her rage slowly building. Calithea gets out of her mother's arms and stands next to her "She did EVERYTHING you asked of her, even if it meant going against everything she stood for, every moral she had, and you didn't even care nor hesitate to use her very life for your selfish desires! have you no shame?!" She yells. Kronika looked indifferent "I am her mother. It was her honor to do this" She replied. (Name) growled as she lit her hands up with fire "You...don't deserve the title of mother!"

Liu Kang and (Name) throw a fireball each, but Kronika effortlessly bats it aside. He looks at his hands in confusion for a moment as does (Name), but puts it aside and charges her. Kronika blasts a storm of sand from her palms, striking Liu Kang and knocking him down "And YOU, Liu Kang, have FAILED!" Kronika said.

She turns to the hourglass and uses her time powers once again. The sand continues to flow upwards, increasing in speed. (Name) picks up Calithea again and clutches her to her chest afraid for her daughter's life as Calithea cries and buries her face in her mother's chest. Liu Kang rises to his feet and Kronika looks over at him again "History rewinds, giving way to the New Era!" Kronika said "NO!" Liu Kang exclaimed. He looks at (Name) and her scared expression and how Calithea is crying in fear. He runs to them and brings them both into his arms to shield them as much as he can as (Name) buries her head in his shoulder.

Around them, Kronika's Keep suddenly fades away, as they and the hourglass are transported through time and through realms, emerging in pre-historic Earthrealm. They appear in a luscious and beautiful forest, with a dead dinosaur in the background. The area surrounding the hourglass is distorted, seemingly opening out into space. Kronika hovers above Liu Kang, slowly coming down to ground level.

Liu Kang lets go of (Name) and Calithea and walks away from them far enough so that they won't be included in the fight. He sends (Name) a confident smile before he faces Kronika.

"The realms as you knew them are undone. Erased. You cannot save a future that no longer exists! There is only the New Era!"

They fight. The battle is truly epic, with neither Liu Kang nor Kronika getting any clear advantage for the majority of it. For what seems like an age, the newly born Fire God and the architect of the Mortal Kombat universe fight with every power they have, but eventually, Liu Kang prevails and knocks Kronika to her knees. She struggles to her feet.

"The realms will not fight your endless wars"

"Fight me further and your friends are lost. They have no future unless I create it" Kronika says getting to her feet

"The future you offer is not worth living! It will NOT come to pass!" Liu Kang exclaims.

They fight. Once again, the battle proves to be a meeting of two unstoppable forces. But this time Liu Kang gets the upper hand and knocks Kronika to her knees.

"With or without you, I will restore the timeline!"

Kronika growls in anger and rises to her feet. She telekinetically hurls another two asteroids at Liu Kang, but he kicks them to pieces.

"Sculpting the Sands of Time requires great power and skill. You have neither, Liu Kang. You may be a god, but I am a Titan!

They fight. Once again, the battle proves to be a meeting of two unstoppable forces. But, with (Name) and Calithea shouting words of encouragement, Liu Kang overpowers Kronika and knocks her to her knees.

As Kronika rises, Liu Kang charges up a fireball and blasts her straight in the chest. He shoots three more, each striking the helpless Kronika, before charging up a final blast that shoots out from his hands like a flamethrower. The blast engulfs Kronika entirely, and when it ends we see that her entire body has molded into what looks like molten organic glass.

"Our work is finished, Liu Kang.

Liu Kang turns around. Behind him stands Raiden...but something is different. Raiden's attire is the same as before, but his voice no longer reverberates with power.

"Lady (Name). I know I do not deserve to even ask for your forgiveness for all the harm and pain I have put you through the years" Raiden said with sorrow before a hand was placed on his shoulder "I forgive you Raiden...Yes, it hurt for many years but I grew stronger because of those actions. so please don't beat yourself up over it" S.he said smiling at him as he returned the smile. (Name) looked to Liu Kang "time to give the realms the histories they deserve, Liu" (Name) said smiling

"The fate of all realms... in my hands? Raiden, I cannot do this alone" Liu Kang said slightly nervous "I shall advise you for as long as my mortality allows. But have no doubt, you are up to the task" Raiden replied "As will I. We won't leave you alone while we still exist" (Name) said with a look of determination and Calithea giggled looking up at him.

"Then together, let us begin" Liu Kang said determined

As the four of them turn to the hourglass, the camera pans up into the shining cosmos of space. The future may be uncertain, but it looks hopeful.

Cut to black.

(This isn't the end of the story just yet. I still have to do the Aftermath DLC because its been stated that it's canon and leads into the next game Mortal Kombat 1. It'll Take some time since it's going to be hard to insert the reader and not have her or Calithea cross paths with her past self)

Mortal Kombat 11 x reader: Chapter 11 Cutting the strings

Liu Kang runs to Raiden's side "Lord Raiden! We should listen. He may be telling the truth!" he implores. Raiden takes something from his belt. The camera pans to his

back, not showing what the object is.

"There is only one way to find out" A charging sound is heard, and Scorpion is blasted backwards by a bolt of energy. We now see that Raiden has used Shinnok's amulet. The ninja remains on the ground, writhing in agony "Now, Scorpion. The truth!" he demands. (Name)s head snaps up looking at what is happening.

Liu Kang, clearly disturbed at what he's just seen, steps in between Raiden and Scorpion "Raiden, stop this!" Liu Kang says but Raiden shoves him aside "Step aside, Liu Kang!" he orders "Put down the amulet! Its darkness is taking hold of you!" Liu Kang tries to reason with him. In response, Raiden blasts Liu Kang with a burst of energy, knocking him to the ground "Our time has run out. I do what I must to save Earthrealm"

As Liu Kang rises, Raiden charges up his hands with lightning

and strikes the ground near the Shaolin's feet "Stay down!" he yells "This is not the way. Scorpion is not the enemy this time" Liu Kang said "Liu Kang, do not interfere!"

They fight. Even though both of them are holding back, the battle is an even match, with Liu Kang's martial arts skill quite possibly surpassing even Raiden's. But the Thunder God's immortality means that he will always hold the advantage, and Raiden eventually manages to knock Liu Kang to the floor.

"Do not force my hand, Liu Kang. The realms hang in the balance! To defend them, I must command order!"

Liu Kang stands back to his feet, disbelief evident in his eyes. before anything could be said a force knocked Raiden back a few feet. once he regained his footing Raiden looked up to see what had hit him with such force. there stood (Name) her eyes cold yet burning with rage, her stance indicating that her kick was what forced him back, Her body straightened out and her head was held high. she stood side by side with Liu Kang "That...is enough" she said coldly surprising them "I've had more than enough of your nonsense to last me and anyone else a lifetime! Every time I listened to you something bad always happened! I lost Mileena, I lost my own life...I've lost Hanzo and you still believe that I am to be your obedient little soldier" she growls. Liu Kang looks at her and sees the pain behind her eyes then turns to Raiden "I thought it impossible, but the revenants were right" He says as he points a finger at Raiden "You cannot be trusted!"

"I do not need trust! I demand obedience!"

On the word "obedience", Raiden charges his hands with lightning. But this time the lightning flashes red, and his eyes also turn from blue to red.

(Name) and Liu Kang gets ready for a fight "Enough of your madness. If you must die... so be it" says Liu Kang

On hearing those words, Raiden steps backward, uncertainty gripping him. His eyes fade from red back to blue.

"This-- this has happened... before..." he says in shock

The scene cuts to an abandoned building in Earthrealm, with a green portal opened - previously seen in Mortal Kombat 9 (a timeline without (Name) in it so the timeline before hers) Shao Kahn walks through the portal, standing and taking in his surroundings. Across from him, Liu Kang clenches his fist and starts forward, but Raiden steps in his path.

"Liu Kang, do not interfere! You cannot fight Shao Kahn!" Raiden says. In response, Liu Kang charges his fist with his signature fire "Liu Kang, stop!" "Enough of your madness! If you must die, so be it!"

Liu Kang jumps in the air with the intent of running through Raiden with a flaming punch. In self-defense, Raiden catches his hand and channels lightning through it, electrocuting Liu Kang, who screams from the pain and is blasted backward...

...through a wall in the Dead Pool in Outworld.

He flips in the air and lands on his feet, sliding to a halt, his clothes have changed in the process, as he is now sporting a blue bandanna and matching attire. As he assumes a fighting stance, Raiden - now clothed in red attire - jumps into the fight

with a flying kick. Liu Kang catches the kick, twirls around, and throws Raiden back the way he came...

...and straight into another location, this time the broken randomness of Chaosrealm. A newly attired Raiden crashes into a broken pillar, and a tattooed Liu Kang with a black bandanna blasts him with a stream of fire. Raiden counters with a lightning

blast that sends Liu Kang falling backward. He whirls to his feet as Raiden charges in. Kang blocks the strikes that Raiden throws, but the Thunder God powers through his defenses and picks Liu Kang up, hoisting him over his head. He throws him...

...onto the surface of an underground subway in Earthrealm. Now wearing a yellow bandanna and matching clothing, Liu Kang rises to his feet to face a purple-attired Raiden, who jumps into the fight with a flying kick as a subway train thunders by. Liu Kang catches the kick, twirls around, and throws Raiden back the way he came...

...into a pillar in Shang Tsung's palace, with a soulnado raging behind both the revenant Raiden and Liu Kang...

...which immediately changes to the Battle of Armageddon - as seen in the original Mortal Kombat timeline. Dark Raiden crashes hard into a pillar supporting one of the torches of the pyramid. The zombie Liu Kang blasts him with a stream of fire. Raiden

counters with a lightning blast that sends Liu Kang falling backward. He whirls to his feet as Raiden charges in. Kang blocks the strikes that Raiden throws, but the Thunder God powers through his defenses and picks Liu Kang up, hoisting him over his head.

With the fire of Blaze roaring on the top level above them, Raiden throws him...

...into the Warrior's Shrine of Earthrealm...

...and into the subway once again. Liu Kang rises to his feet...

...in Chaosrealm, to face a dark blue-attired Raiden, who jumps

into the fight with a flying kick...

...in the Dead Pool. The revenant Liu Kang catches the kick...

...in the Battle of Armageddon, a fully human Liu Kang twirls around and throws Raiden back the way he came...

...again, and again, and again, the same motions occurring

in different locations, different timelines...

...until back in the current timeline, Raiden falls to his knees. The vision he has witnessed - from the perspective of the dozens of selves that came before him - has shocked him to his very core. Cassie Cage runs up to his side, as does Jacqui and Jax. Raiden holds Shinnok's amulet in the palm of his hand...

...and then decisively slams it into the ground. He looks up at

Liu Kang and (Name), regret clear in his expression, and slowly stands to his

feet.

"I have been a fool, Liu Kang. Kronika's puppet. We only battle because she wills it" he says then he looks over to Scorpion, still writhing in pain "I must help him"

He walks to Scorpion's side and channels his power through his palm. Unlike his normal lightning blasts, this is a blue pulsing light, and it heals Scorpion from the dark magic he is suffering from. He extends his hand, which is taken by Scorpion, and helps him to his feet.

"I was wrong to doubt you. I too have been a slave to anger" said Raiden "I do not understand, Lord Raiden. Your rage was caused by Kronika?" Liu Kang questioned while (Name) walked over to Scorpion.

"Yes. I succumbed to her influence. But then, our confrontation... it unlocked memories. Memories not only from this timeline, but from timelines that have come before" Raiden replied "Wait a sec. Timelines? Plural?" Cassie asked in shock

"Kronika has restarted time on countless previous occasions, using each timeline to learn and to perfect her plan. The details of each timeline are different. But in each one, events conspire to bring Liu Kang and I into conflict. In each one, he dies. Only Kronika has such power to control time and fate" Raiden said before looking on in thought

"There is however one constant in every timeline that separates this one from all"

Raiden says.

"Mama?"

(Name) snaps her head to the voice coming from the temple doors to see Calithea standing there "Calithea..." she whispers as Calithea runs to her and hugs her legs "Mama!" she says happily. (Name) smiles a little and scoops up Calithea pressing her forehead to Calitheas. Raiden looks at her "This is the only timeline where Lady (Name) exists" Everyone is stunned by his words...everyone except (Name) who is too focused on her daughter.

"mama? What's wrong?" Calithea asked wiping her mothers' tears away with her small hands. (Name) composed herself, no matter how much it hurt she didn't want her daughter to worry, and gave her a small smile "I'm alright, Cali, it's...been a bad day but don't worry... it's almost over" she said. Calithea looked up tilting her head before looking over her mothers' shoulder to see Scorpion. her smile widened "DADDY!" she giggled reaching for him. Scorpion was surprised and didn't know how to react "Daddy! I missed you! Did you stop the bad guys? Can we stay here now?" she asked still trying to reach for him, unknowingly breaking (Name)'s heart "Oh..honey...that's...that's not" (Name) tried to say but couldn't find the words as she teared up all over again. how was she supposed to tell her daughter of Hanzo's demise?

Her thoughts were interrupted when Calithea was lifted from (Name)'s arms. snaping her head to the side she sees Scorpion holding Calithea in his arms, against his hip, as she holds onto the front of his clothes. Scorpion looked at Calithea with awe and wonder. A familiar feeling washed over him, one of warmth and care, the same feeling he had when he held his son, but at the same time the pain of knowing he isn't the man she believes he is yet "Daddy, your eyes are all white! Are you ok?" Calithea asked looking worried up at him while Scorpion's white milky eyes softened at her innocence "I...am fine, Calithea, It's a long story but I promise I will explain everything once this is all over, alright?" he said stroking her hair. She smiled up at him and nodded "Daddy!" she giggled as she laid her head on his chest. (Name) walks closer to him "...thank you" she said softly looking him in the eyes as he gently passed Calithea to (Name) "This isn't the time to tell her of what happened...she is far too innocent for this" he said still looking at Calithea.

"I don't get it. Why do that? And why make this the only timeline where (Name) exists?" Cassie asked confused "I do not know. But be assured, Kronika will control us no longer" Raiden states.

As he finishes saying this, a sandstorm kicks into the area, gradually freezing everyone in the vicinity of it, except Raiden, who remains unaffected due to being a god and existing outside of time. As he looks around at time coming to a standstill, the tornado gathers in one location in the middle of the air... and forms into Kronika. He meets her indifferent gaze with anger.

"At long last, you see the pattern" Kronika stated condescendingly "The pattern, but not the purpose. Why set me against Liu Kang?" Raiden asked "Is it not obvious? Your combined power threatens my vision for the timeline. and with (Name) aiding you as well? She may have arrived unnoticed but she will not interfere with my plans" "Liu Kang and I will not be divided further by your machinations nor will (Name) stand by!"

Kronika chuckles at these words "Oh, Raiden. Do you think this is the first time you made that vow? We have repeated this exact conversation so often, in so many timelines, I have lost count" "This timeline will end differently" Raiden challenges

"We have played out all possible scenarios, Raiden. having a woman from another world will make no difference. You cannot win. You are welcome to try, of course... but without Liu Kang at your side nor (Name)" Kronika says as she motions with her hands, and the frozen Liu Kang, (Name), and Calithea begin to dissolve, with traces of sand marking their bodies. Kronika smiles serenely at Raiden's outrage.

"Enjoy these final hours, Raiden. They are all you have"

With another swirl of sand, she disappears as well, taking Liu

Kang, (Name), and Calithea with her in another time tornado. Raiden is left alone, contemplating everything that has taken place in front of him. A moment later, time is restored and everyone else comes out of the frozen state they were in. They look around in confusion.

"Liu Kang! Where is he?" Exclaimed Cassie "Lady (Name) and Calithea as well!" Scorpion said looking worried "Kronika has taken them to her Isle. We must leave immediately. To save the realms... we must save Liu Kang and (Name)" Raiden stated

The scene cuts to Kronika's Keep. Liu Kang is chained down in a

chair, facing Geras, who has upgraded his clothing to feature an

armored chest plate and helmet "A new look, just for me? You shouldn't have" Liu Kang said. Geras steps forward, but says nothing "What do you want from me?" Liu Kang asked "You will aid in my protection" Kronika replied

Liu Kang turns around to see Kronika, alongside his revenant self

and the revenants of Kung Lao, Kitana, and Jade "Not likely" Liu Kang said "I have mastered Shinnok's sorcery. I will add your soul's strength to mine, and finally avenge myself upon Raiden" said revenant Liu Kang "My friends, Raiden's armies are coming. They will fight us, and they will lose" Said Kronika

Liu Kang Looks beside him to see (Name), who has been chained to the floor with cuffs preventing her from using her fire, and Calithea as she sits in (Name)'s arms fast asleep. (Name) doesn't bother fighting back, she wouldn't dare risk her daughters' life when she's this powerless "(Name), have faith. our friends will rescue us" he said trying to make her smile when the revenant Liu Kang walked to her and kneels before her while the younger Liu Kang watches him carefully "all will be well, Lady (Name), you will be safe once all this is over" he said to her. she looked up at him with sad eyes, filled with pity.

"You don't know that. for all you know we'll have to deal with this all over again" she said softly so as to not wake Calithea "Kronia has promised to restart time to make it so you never needed to come to this world-" "so you would rather we hadn't met?" she says cutting off the revenant. the revenant Liu Kang is stunned for a few moments "I would rather you be safe. Even if it breaks my heart you deserve to live a better life" he said trying to ease her mind only for her to shake her head "I have friends who I've shared memories with that I know have my back in a fight, a daughter who I cherish more than my own life and the power to protect them all...I have the greatest life I could ask for Liu Kang..."

The scene cuts to the bow of a ship, sailing across a sea of blood. The ship is helmed by Kharon, and Raiden stands next to him. Behind Raiden stand Sub-Zero and Scorpion.

On another ship, Cassie stands alongside Jax and Jacqui, with what remains of the Special Forces behind them. Cassie looks toward the horizon, determination etched on her features. Jax checks over an assault rifle in his hands, and Jacqui hands him an extra clip of ammunition.

On a different ship, Kung Lao walks to the bow and looks to the horizon. Behind him are rows of Shaolin warriors, all seated and meditating in prayer.

Amidst one more ship is a loosely formed congregation of Outworld species - Osh-Tekk loyalists, Tarkatans, and Shokan. Kitana walks among them to the ship bow, receiving a passing nod from Baraka, a salute from Sheeva, and finally a warm smile from Jade. She too looks to the horizon before them.

Back on the first ship, Kharon addresses Raiden.

"Kronika's Isle lies beyond the fog," says Kharon

A foghorn is sounded, the echo felt by the inhabitants from all the ships. Cassie brings her binoculars to her eyes and looks through them. From her perspective, we see a large armored ship approaching through the fog, metallic in design. On the bow of that ship, Geras and the Cyber Lin Kuei behind him walk up to the ship's captain - Frost.

On Kharon's flagship, he watches with concern.

"Battleships," says Kharon. He turns to Raiden "My ferries cannot fight a war" "This fleet is under my protection" Raiden replies. Kharon nods in agreement as Raiden turns to address the others "If Kharon falls, our fleet cannot sail. Protect him at all costs" he states.

Back on the battleship, Frost looks to her army "Ramming speed!" She commands

The gigantic battleship begins to gain further momentum, now coming within sailing distance of Kharon's flagship. It veers toward the flagship's starboard, prompting Kharon to swing the boat's wheel hard to port. He does so just in time, as the battleship grinds against the starboard side of his boat but fails to shear it. The Special Forces' ship also grinds against the battleship on its port side, staggering everyone on board, but the boat remains intact.

Back on Kharon's ship, Raiden helps Sub-Zero up to his feet, but a loud sound from above catches their attention. Dozens of Cyber Lin Kuei leap from the battleship onto the boat, and the battle is immediately joined. Raiden blocks a flying kick from a cyborg

and parries the strike of another, disabling it with a lightning-enhanced kick. He strikes another and kicks it aside, before blocking a third cyborg's strike and disabling it with a flying knee.

Sub-Zero and Scorpion throw a pair of cyborgs to the floorboards and Sub-Zero kicks away another while fending off a third, also disabling it with a roundhouse kick. At the same time, Scorpion disables the cyborg he threw with a punch to the face

and catches the leg of another, disabling it by stabbing it with his kunai.

Sub-Zero blocks an attempted strike from another cyborg, dropping it with a disabling face punch. He turns to block a cyborg's punch, catching a second strike and taking it out of commission with a kick to the neck. He follows through with a forearm chop

to the same location for good measure. Yet another cyborg attempts to kick him, but Sub-Zero blocks the strike, parries two punches, and shoots an ice blast to the cyborg's thigh.

With the cyborg immobilized, Scorpion rushes it from behind and plunges his hand into its back, tearing out the cyborg's spine, along with the head for good measure. He uses the head-and-spine as a makeshift club, battering another three cyborgs across the

face with it.

Four more cyborgs approach Raiden, but he charges his hands and disables them all with a barrage of lightning. He then ducks, narrowly avoiding a fireball that explodes behind him. He faces down the one who threw it... the elder Jackson Briggs. As from

Before, Jax is torn up with sorrow, but that only drives him onward.

"I don't want to fight, but I've got to! For Jacqui's and (Name)'s sake as well as mine!" states Jax

They fight. Jax's upgrades prove to be a challenge for even the Thunder God - albeit because Raiden is holding back his true strength. As a result, the fight lasts longer than one might expect, but just like before, Jax's inner conflict means he cannot sustain his assault and soon Raiden manages to defeat him.

"Let me help you," Raiden says as he approaches Jax, who is on his knees.

"Kronika's promises to you are a cruel deception. She is the mother of Shinnok, the architect of your revenant enslavement" Raiden explains. This revelation catches Jax by surprise "But... no. She's Cetrion's mother" Jax says in disbelief "Cetrion is Shinnok's sister. In Kronika's New Era, Shinnok will be the darkness to balance Cetrion's light" Raiden replied "...Which'll only happen if the realms keep on fighting each other" Jax says understanding what's really going on.

Raiden offers his hand. Jax takes it and stands to his feet. He looks to Scorpion and Sub-Zero, still fighting off the Cyber Lin Kuei "What have I done? I'm a fool" Jax said disappointed in himself " It is not foolish to fight for your family's betterment" Raiden said to reassure Jax "I'm sorry, Raiden. I promise to make this right"

With that, he leaps up into the air, coming down fist-first onto a cyborg and knocking it for a loop with a ferocious clothesline. He then kicks another cyborg in the side, punches it in the stomach, and hits a forearm hammer to its back, knocking it down.

He stops another cyborg's punch and punches it in the sternum, before slamming it to the floor. He punches it in the face to make sure it's disabled, then walks over and backhands another cyborg out of his way.

While Jax rampages through the Cyber Lin Kuei, another figure leaps from the battleship to face down Raiden-Geras. The Thunder God immediately flies toward him with his Electric Fly attack, but Geras grabs him by the throat in mid-flight, punches him in the face, and throws him back the way he came, causing Raiden to smash hard into the ship mast. He regains his feet as Geras comes forward.

"I have died a thousand deaths to prepare for this battle. My defeat is impossible. Yours, inevitable" Geras states.

They fight. Try as he might, not even Raiden can stop Geras. Every time he is blasted or knocked down, the construct rises again. But in turn, Geras is unable to penetrate Raiden's defenses, and after a long battle, the Thunder God manages to floor Geras for a moment with a concentrated attack.

"I will suffer you no more"

As Geras rises again, Raiden aims a lighting bolt above Geras' head, striking a nearby link of chains. The chains come down directly on Geras, pinning and immobilizing him. Raiden then shoots a lightning bolt at the object the chains are connected to - the ship's anchor. It falls into the sea, the chains following rapidly after it. Unable to move, Geras realizes he too will be dragged down, but he remains defiant.

"Drowning cannot kill me, Raiden" he states confidently "That is unfortunate for you. The Sea of Blood is bottomless. You will fall forever" Raiden says.

Finally, the last of the chains fall from the side of the ship, dragging Geras with them. He only has time for one last shout of rage before he plunges into the depths of the sea. We see his face one more time as he falls into the blood-filled abyss...and the rage has turned into despair.

Raiden pauses with grim satisfaction for a moment, before a loud cry catches his attention. Frost jumps from the battleship and lands on the deck, facing him down.

"Now do I have your attention, Raiden? The warriors sinking your fleet are under my command" Frost gloats much to Raiden's annoyance "You have a devil's bargain with Kronika, Frost" Raiden replies

"You ignored me my entire life. Kronika saw my talent from the start" Frost growls

They fight. Even with her cybernetic upgrades giving her power to surpass her mentor Sub-Zero, Frost still remains no match for the God of Thunder. Her reckless assaults are turned aside by Raiden and countered effortlessly, and soon enough Frost is on the ground and unconscious at his hands.

"Envy and ambition consume you"

Sub-Zero approaches, looking upset at the sight of his wayward

Pupil "Such wasted potential," he says "The good she could have done, in command of these Cyber Lin Kuei" Raiden says surprising Sub-Zero "She commands them? Not Sektor? If so, she is linked to them. They follow her thoughts" At these words, Raiden walks over to her downed form "Then let them follow her to defeat" says Raiden

He charges up his hands, puts them against her head, and lets loose with a burst of electric current. The effects are not visible, but there is little doubt that the trauma is fatal. Across the ship, the elder Jax is now being restrained by three cyborgs, who all

immediately stop functioning and fall to the deck, as dead as their commander. Jax looks around him, taking in the sight of dozens of dead Cyber Lin Kuei strewn about all over the ship deck.

"Candy ass bitch" he says as he pumps and shakes his hands as if finishing a warm-up.

Back in Kronika's Keep, the younger Liu Kang reacts in pain and horror as his revenant counterpart wields the same soul-sucking magic that Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Quan Chi, and Shinnok are all known for, using it to drain his younger self. (Name) looks on in horror as she cannot do anything. The revenant finishes the spell, drawing the younger's soul directly into him, and laughing maniacally as he does so. The living Liu Kang puts his hands to his face, and screams in utter agony... and finally, his hands come down, revealing his face is chalk white and shriveled.

"NO!" (Name) cries out waking up her daughter with a shock. Calithea looks around to know why her mother is distressed when she sees the young Liu Kangs state. She looks at him in shell-shock horror.

The last vestiges of his soul leave his body, and the older Liu Kang lights his hand up with his signature fire, laughing in pure evil glee as his younger self falls still. With the spell finished, the other revenants approach him.

"Raiden's fleet nears our shores," says Kitana "The two of you will command the army defending the beachhead," the revenant Liu Kang says "Where will you be?" she asks

Liu Kang says nothing but only smiles wickedly. As Kitana and Kung Lao leave he turns to (Name) and Calithea. (Name) glares up at him and turns her body away from him, as much as she can chained, to cover Calithea, who was sobbing for the now still Liu Kang. his eyes soften "It..is for the best, Lady (Name)" he said taking a step towards her "GET AWAY!" she yells her voice breaking and causing him to stop "Haven't you done enough! Leave me alone!" his heart is hit with a wave of pain seeing the woman he still loves want nothing to do with him. he is silent for a few moments before heading towards the exit.

The scene cuts back to Kharon's flagship. The shipmaster looks out to the horizon and spots a rocky outcropping of land. On that land is a large, elegantly designed tower that twirls into the sky.

"LAND HO!" Kharon called out.

A foghorn sounds on his ship as Raiden walks up to the ship's bow. He looks out to the horizon and his eyes narrow in grim concern as he spots a single lifeboat making its way across the waves of the blood-filled sea, accelerated by the lone occupant of the boat blasting fire from his hands behind him. Within moments, the lifeboat reaches Kharon's ship and with a burst of flame, the revenant Liu Kang propels himself up into the air. He somersaults into the ship's sails, setting them on fire as he comes through them, and lands on the deck in a crouching stance.

He stands up fully and turns to face Raiden, who remains grimly composed but begins to crackle with electricity. He folds his arms, and leaps into the air, twirling around multiple times before landing on the deck, arms still folded. Scorpion, Sub-Zero and

Jax all enter the deck as well and Raiden faces down Liu Kang. They all start forward, but Raiden glances back at them for a moment and they instantly pause, realizing that Raiden intends to fight Liu Kang alone. Raiden turns back to Liu Kang.

"Time after time, Kronika's schemes have pitted us against each other. That cycle must end, Liu Kang" Raiden said. Liu Kang's eyes light up in flames, anger etched across his features.

"This time, it will!" Liu Kang growled

He launches forward with his Flying Kick, crossing the distance between them almost instantly, and blasts Raiden square in the chest. The force of the kick sends the Thunder God flying backward, but he grabs the decking and skids to a halt, sparking

with electricity "Your power! Is this Kronika's gift?" Raiden asked stunned "A gift to myself, you could say" Liu Kang smirked "...You stole your own soul! Perverted your own nature!"

"It's a lesson YOU taught me, Raiden! To fight my enemies by any means necessary!

They fight. The battle proves to be one of the toughest the Thunder God has ever endured. With Liu Kang's newfound power, Raiden struggles greatly against a man whose martial arts skill even surpasses his. But even though he is at a disadvantage,

Raiden fights intelligently, exploiting his foe's overconfidence and breaking through his defenses. Even so, it takes all of his strength to just barely defeat the revenant Liu Kang.

"I have conquered the darkness within me. You must do the same"

Liu Kang rises to his feet, exhausted but defiant "You... will have to kill me" he huffs out. Raiden walks toward him, arms outstretched and crackling with electricity "I would rather save you"

He blasts Liu Kang square in the chest with his electricity, but rather than forcing Liu Kang back, it roots him to the spot. Lightning strikes the deck around them as both Raiden and Liu Kang glow an electric blue, pulsing with energy. A bubble of electricity forms around them.

Back in Kronika's Keep, the younger Liu Kang lies limp in his chair, while in the background Kronika and Cetrion continue to work on the hourglass. Unbeknownst to them, Liu Kang suddenly sits up, his eyes sparking with electricity. He gasps as life flows back into his body. (Name) and Calithea watches him with wide eyes, Calithea smiles at him as (Name) lets out a sob of relief.

"Raiden..." Liu Kang said.

Electricity starts to crackle in his body, and lightning blasts down from above into his arms. Kronika spots the commotion and her eyes widen in surprise. The same bubble of energy seen earlier surrounds Liu Kang as more lightning courses through him and he teleports away, leaving only his restraints behind. Calithea looks up at Kronika and giggles "You're screwed" she says smiling

Back on Kharon's flagship, the energy bubble continues to suck in more power and electricity, before finally dispersing. But where there were once both Liu Kang and Raiden, only one person stands.
