The Final battle act I

Dark clouds began to muster over the southern continent of Edenia as the forces of light finally reach the final hilltop to where the final battle that would take place. A giant slab of land with backgrounds that had beautiful green grass stretching out as far as they eye could see.

Princess Kitana looked out into the distance as she sighed. She could hear her mother Sindel, the Queen of Edenia giving a speech to all the soldiers from behind her. Another edenian wearing emerald about the same age as Kitana came from behind and stood beside her. "You look so sad Kitana, what's wrong?" Her long-time friend Jade, general of the Edenian army asked as she put her hand on Kitana's shoulder. "Nothing really… Just thinking about how we all got here" Jade patted her shoulder as Kitana looked up and smiled.

Kitana's POV

As I waited for the moment to charge into battle, I couldn't help but think why all of this was happening to my kingdom. I looked over beside me to see my best friend Jade and beside her were the shaman nightwolf, an old ally kung lao, and the recently rebuilt cyber warrior cyrax. After uncovering what the real prophecy was from what we were told before. I thought back to what the prophecy had said: The demigods two sons of our god Argus had suspended them within earthrealm were to awake the same time as the other and return to edenia to compete in some twisted contest that would decide the successor and stop the apocalypse. Not long ago, a group of our scouts around edenia had reported in. The two brothers have returned to edenia at last. Knowing that, our mission was clear: We had to prevent the forces of darkness from reaching the top of the pyramid at all costs.

Amongst all of this happening, I had a personal mission of my own which only a few others knew about. After the last battle in outworld to free edenia, I thought that maybe things were okay for now. While I was sleeping, I could hear his caring and warm voice call out to me. I woke up and slowly rubbed my eyes as I was stirred from my sleep and I nearly jumped from such joy and happiness that had suddenly filled my heart. It was the spirit of my beloved, and former champion of Mortal Kombat… Liu kang, he was levitating before me in a transparent form. Almost immediately, I felt my heart sink back down from sadness. He was so close to me, but yet still out of my reach. We last saw each other a few days ago when he freed me and our other allies from onaga's encampment, even though it was his spirit, I felt my heart melting as it seemed… bittersweet. Looking at his eyes, I could tell that it was filled with turmoil and sadness.

Liu then began to tell me horrible things that I never knew that were very frightening. He told me that his body had been reanimated and sent on a rampage within earthrealm. He didn't much more from what he said, but I could tell just by the anguish and horror from his face that there was much more to it.

At that moment, I knew that somehow, some way I had to help him. After a short time talking we both agreed that whoever or whatever was controlling his body was going to be after Blaze's power too and we would more than likely meet on the day of the final battle when we all came together.

Now that day has finally come…

I felt Jade nudge me which caught my attention from my thoughts and looked up ahead and she looked at me and nodded and looked back ahead and extended her staff. Along the horizon and from dust getting in my eyes, I blinked and saw what we had been waiting for. The forces of darkness were approaching us. I looked back at mother, her glance had met mine and she nodded to me. I turned around and took a few deep breaths as I took out my steel fans. I took the first few steps and everyone else started to follow. As we started running head on towards the forces of darkness, I knew that this fight was going to be the bloodiest one in the centuries I have lived.

One way or another…. I have to survive this battle…. I must… No matter what.

As the armies of light and darkness clashed, Kitana was easily dispatching the lesser foes one after the other when suddenly from behind her she felt a firm kick on her back as she nearly fell face first. She turned quickly with her fans at the ready and facing her was the black dragon thug kano. Kitana glared at him and charged with such speed that kano didn't even notice that her fan had gone through his stomach. Kitana then smiled as she opened them up and kano's blood splattered everywhere around him as his now lifeless body fell to the ground in two halves. Kitana looked over and saw that Jade was having a bit of trouble and started to make her way over when she was blindsided with a blade nearly impaling her but her quick reaction saved her from death. She looked down at the wound and saw Baraka laughing at her with his blades out. As soon as kitana could get ready, Baraka felt a pair of hands around his neck and before he could react, all she heard was a loud snapping sound as baraka's neck was snapped. The lifeless body dropped to the floor and Jade was standing behind him shaking her head.

"I thought tarkatans had good sense of hearing" jade snickered as she helped kitana up. Kitana thanked jade briefly when the ground beneath them began to shake viciously. The land began to cave in when Kitana saw the land Jade standing on was caving in, she whipped out her fans and waved them in such a manner that Jade was rising upwards instead of falling. Kitana then pulled as hard as she could to only fall back on the ground with jade looking down at her. "You really need to be careful Kitana" Jade said with a smirk as Kitana gave her a friendly glare, Behind them both, the pyramid that was in the prophecy had appeared and on top of it was almost a blinding light of orange energy. Kitana recognized what it was and said what it was as Jade looked at confusion. "It's Blaze."

Suddenly more enemy troops were coming towards them. Jade pushed Kitana back suddenly "Get going! Make sure that you're there to help the others protect it! I'll cover you!" as jade said while seamlessly making her stand against each punishing wave of enemies. Kitana started to run to the pyramid when she stopped at the steps and looked out and pondered where the reanimated body of her beloved was amongst all of this.
Walking up from behind her, emperor of Outworld and her "father", Shao Kahn noticed Kitana had her guard down. Lifting his hammer to a ready stance, he said behind her in a sarcastic tone "Greetings my beloved daughter" Kitana snapped back into reality as she heard shao kahn, she started to turn around when his hammer came into contact with her chest. Kitana felt the wind being knocked out of her along with several of her ribs breaking as she fell to the ground swiftly.
After sliding on the ground several feet, Kitana was trying to get up when shao kahn was standing above her and he laughed as he jumped effortlessly on to the top of the pyramid nearly killing shang tsung who was also near the top.
Somehow managing to dodge shao kahn's mighty swings, shang tsung found an opening and nearly kicked shao kahn off the pyramid. As shao kahn got up, a loud shriek was heard from the sky. Kitana struggled to get up as she looked up and with horror she realized who it was. "By the gods… It can't be!" she said as she tried to turn over onto her back. Shao kahn did not have enough time to react when Onaga the dragon king flew in and took shao kahn and flew out quickly in a hurry.

A/N: This USED to be one long chapter but I thought it would be better to split it into two chapters instead. Feel free to leave a review on what you liked and/or how i can make it better :3
