Hello guys! I apologize for my earlier stories not being written correctly, this story will be on constant development unlike the rest. I recommend you read the three mini-stories:Mortal kombat:Pilot(1), Mortal Kombat:Princess and the Soldier(2), and Mortal Kombat:A Soldier's Reckoning(3) before reading this story, those prequels will give you useful information you need in order to understand the main character and/or other characters. All of the events in this story will correspond with the events of Mortal Kombat X the comic series(unless I need a way to spice up my story), some dialogue from the comics will be used from the comics, I do not own any of the dialogue from the comics. Mileena will have lips in this series, mostly/only because this makes her ability to speak more tangible. Enjoy the story and as always, reviews(good/bad) are appreciated!

"My name is Nathan, I have brown eyes, black hair, and tan skin; I'm eighteen years old and I was struck by lightning." I said while sitting up on my bed, looking at Reiko."Is that all?" he said."Well that's all you asked for," I responded,"getting struck by lightning is the last thing I remember." Reiko nods and says,"You're thirty years old now, the battle for Earthrealm was lost, Shao Kahn is dead along with Sindel, and you're currently part of Mileena's rebellion." I get on my feet noticing I have been wearing the same pants for twelve years, and walk to an open window, overlooking the hills of sand and soldiers carrying equipment,"What's this?" I said. Reiko responds,"The Red Dragon Clan, preparing for Kotal K'etz assault." So much to take in, it feels like I haven't aged, like not one day has passed since my accident. I could hear something, like a heartbeat when Reiko entered the room. "Who is Kotal K'etz?" I asked Reiko. "An enemy," Reiko said,"that's all you need to know, your clothing and armor are in that chest. I will inform Mileena of your awakening." Reiko walks out of the room, shutting the door behind him. The heartbeat sound disappeared as he got further away, but there's no possible way I could hear his...It may just be my imagination. After closing the shutters on the windows I toss my pants on the bed and put on my old hood, mask, vest, ninja tabi, and a pair of black pants. I couldn't help but feel I was forgetting something as I walked out of the room.

The walls of the castle were made of stone, along with the floors. I can hear so many heartbeats, the sound is overwhelming, voices of people a long distance from me as I walk down the halls. Nearly convinced I'm going insane I hear Reiko's voice as I stop at the end of the hall, the war room was several yards away from me down another path. They're discussing plans to kill Kotal K'etz when he arrives, I close my eyes and focus on Reiko's voice, "I leaked our location to Kotal, he will send his most trusted warriors, the Osh-tekk." I continued listening, I'm not going insane, perhaps something much worse is at work. "Back from the dead Nathan?" I stop listening and turn back to see Mileena facing me,"Thanks to you and Ermac." I said. She gives me a puzzled look and lowers my hood and mask,"Your eyes." She said curiously. "What of them Mileena?" I asked as she backed away. She took out her sais threateningly, the Red Dragon soldiers aimed thier spears and armed bows at me. I could hear each of their hearts' beating faster, "At ease!" I said raising my hands,"Call them off Princess!" Mileena spins her sais, then holds them up to my throat, déjà vu. "I am the Empress of Outworld!" she said angrily,"Who might you be? One of Kotal Kahn's assassins?" Normally I would reason with her, but something felt out of place, I felt eager to spill some blood...the soldiers were the only thing keeping me at bay, instead I just stood there gritting my teeth, glaring at Mileena. "Your old friend already causing trouble?" Reiko said walking up behind Mileena,"This man is an imposter Reiko." she said. "Impossible, I saw him wake up myself, in the room where we left him." Goro stood by Reiko's side with his all his arms crossed,"He reminds me of a Tarkatan, maybe he's somehow related to Mileena." Goro said with a deep chuckle. I'll see if he's laughing when I break his jaw with his own arm."I fought in the Battle for Earthrealm, I watched Motaro die, I remember everyday of starvation in that damned pit!" I said furiously. Mileena wasn't phased, but Reiko looked me in the eye for a moment."He may be telling the truth," Reiko said,"let him go, but if he draws anymore suspicion, bring him to me." he said looking at the soldiers. "If he attempts to leave, I want a bowmen to lodge an arrow through his heart." Mileena said sheathing the sais behind her back. The soldiers disperse,"He looks like a vampire." One said under his breath to another.

I return to my room, shutting the door behind me, I unsheathed one of my katanas. I gaze at the blade, my eyes looked back at me from my reflection, they have black irises and yellow pupils."By the elder gods..." I mutter under my breath. My reflection reveals my teeth, each of them slightly longer and sharper than an average person. "What am I," I said, gripping the blade harder,"what is wrong with me..." I throw my katana down at the stone floor and grab my head. This is real, all of it real, I close my eyes in frustration. The question "What am I?" never leaves my thoughts. My accident somehow impaired me, no...I'm stronger, I can feel it. If losing my sanity is the price for this strength, I don't want it, what would my grandmother see me as? She needs me. "Priscilla," I said, my eyes grow wide,"I forgot about my grandmother." I pick up my katana, sheathe it, and run down the corridors looking for Reiko,"Damn, where is he..." I said frustratingly. I close my eyes and focus on all the voices, he's infront of the castle talking to Goro. Maybe this curse could just as well be a gift, I run through more corridors, eventually bursting through the massive wooden doors of the castle, stopping behind Reiko. "Leaving so soon Nathan?" Reiko said lifting an eyebrow. "I need to see my grandmother," I said quickly,"please,general, she needs to know I'm alive." Reiko scoffs at this,"You will see your grandmother, once we know you're on our side." he said crossing his arms. Scowling I respond,"You don't understand!" I can't control my temper anymore, I'm getting angrier by the second. "Watch your tongue and know your place, undisciplined soldier." he gestures toward a gaurd, the gaurd grabs me by my shoulder, "He is on house arrest for the rest of the day,"Reiko said with a strict yet calm demeanor, "if he gets out of his room, hit him until he loses all ability to stand on his own." I clench my fist as the gaurd escorts me to my room. I'll be there soon Priscilla.
