Another Dead Hero- Well holy hell, i'm back, but not alone as me and my good buddy The Jonny T Factor are collabing on yet another fanfic. This time, it's a crossover of "Injustice: Gods Among Us" and "Mortal Kombat"... so basically another DC Comics/Mortal Kombat crossover. :Insert deadpan "Yay" here: Remember how Scorpion was DLC for "Injustice"? Well, like that, it's just one MK character appearing in the Injustice universe, but it's not Scorpion, it's Ermac and this takes place a day or two before leading into the main story of the "Injustice" game and after the Story Mode of "Mortal Kombat (2011), with some of Ermac's ending of the game mixed in, so there will be spoilers. How will this play out? Well, let's see, what you think Jonny?
The Jonny T Factor- I think I'm not getting paid enough for this.
ADH- Jonny, we're not getting paid at all.
Injustice: Gods Among Us- Error Macro
Ch. 1- The Road to Hell is Paved With Good Intentions
Shao Khan is dead, the merging of two realms has been prevented, Earthrealm once more saved, but at the cost of many lives. Those still loyal to the Emperor of Outworld had either retreated or simply stayed, waiting for the next phase of their plan. One soul, or, many souls had ventured into the accursed area known as the Living Forest, not because of cowardice, but because of their inner turmoil.
"AARRGGHHH!" The masked being screamed, in an almost echoish tone, like many were screaming at the exact time. Various green souls seemed to erupt from within him as he twitched and fell on the ground, holding his head. His name was Ermac. He was an creation of Shao Khan, a warrior made from the many souls of those killed in battle for Outworld, made by the emperor's magic and bound to him. And due to the latter condition, Ermac felt it when his creator was killed by the Thunder God and with that, the souls that formed him started to lash out in pure anarchy, Ermac losing control of himself.
"AAHH! STOP IT!" he screamed in pain, clad in a what was deemed as an ancestral ninja uniform, it was black and red, padded up for some protection, with wrist and knee guards for close combat. along with a black hood and a red mouth guard. Ermac had to wear it after his encounter with the Lin Kuei cyborg that went rouge in the clock tower, his clothes were too torn from battle to wear, so he was ordered to change into something also battle ready, when he saw the uniform, it felt was familiar to him, so he chose it.
But after Shao Khan's death, the uniform was starting to be worn and torn thanks to the souls cutting it up in their madness. As he squirmed in pain, Ermac tripped, falling face first against one of the living trees as it tried dragging him towards it's mouth, but the souls scared it away, the mouthguard falling off due to it breaking against the tree, showed under it Ermac's exposed face, showing his skin being a very pale green, his eyes, a glowing green as were the runes on his arms, along with having a small almost blackish green beard. It's then it came to him.
A soul within him seemed to start calming down the others, as if becoming their leader, it seemed wise and powerful. "What the?..." Ermac muttered as multiple visions, almost like memories flooded his mind, him being hailed, having a queen, was he a king? Various more visions went through his mind, including one and his queen holding in their arms a small baby girl, which then turned into a beautiful young woman in blue. It rang a bell in Ermac's mind.
"... Kitana..." Ermac muttered, then remembering his beautiful queen. "... Si-Sindel... our... OUR wife... daughter" He said before suddenly seeing a vision of his old master smashing a giant war hammer against him, killing him, then more of his wife, becoming corrupted by Shao Khan's men, his daughter under the assumption Shao Khan was her father, then... Then... Their corpses, his wife, mad with power, mortally wounding their daughter before dying in battle with the Shaman in the church.
"NNOOO!" Ermac screamed in horror as his hood feel, showing his scruffy short hair, also blackish green. "... Shao Khan... it's all his fault..." He growled... Whoever this king was, whosoever soul was now in control of Ermac and the other souls, was angry. "We'll kill him, WE'LL FINISH HIM!" he roared in the sky, the souls coming back to him as a wave of Hadoenegry burst from him, destroying some trees.
But before he could make any other move, a green portal seemingly made of Hadoenergy suddenly appeared before his eyes, was it that infernal Quan Chi's fault? He didn't have time to think before the portal sucked him in before everything went to black.
The darkness that consumed Ermac was shed by a bright light, a light that blinded Ermac. But soon the green orbs that were his eyes adjusted to the light, and he was soon able to view his surroundings, only to be awestruck by what he perceived. He was surrounded by towers, hundreds of them it seemed, and the air was littered by hovering metallic crafts. On the side of each of the crafts was some kind of insignia, a label of some kind that connected them together. As Ermac searched his surroundings, reminding him of the city Shao Khan tried to invade through, he found large armored vehicles and large projections on the towering buildings that shared the same insignia.
"What is this madness?" the vessel of souls asked himself, waving his hand through his hair as he made his way over to one of the projections on a building. He hesitated for a moment as he reached out his hand to touch it, hoping to find some sort of answer to this strange illusion.
"YOU!" a voice called from behind Ermac, causing the latter to stop in his tracks and listen, "What do you think you're doing? Planning to vandalize public property? Raise your arms and turn around so I can see you!" Ermac slowly retracted his hand and complied with the order, turning to face his accuser. What he found was a young Caucasian male with short, slicked back black hair, who was clad in a suit of yellow and black, with metallic shoulder pad and wrist and shin guards, and a black cape. On his chest was a black and white insignia, but was not that of the others Ermac had seen before.
The man was hovering in the air, staring down at the strange-looking being that stood below him, trying to recognize him. "Identify yourself at once!" the man ordered, his voice stern. Ermac found offense in this stranger's order, and seemed a bit angered by it.
"You are the one who needs to identify themselves!" Ermac responded, even sterner than the man above him, "Who are you?"
"What are you, some kind of moron?" the man yelled, enraged by the being's, he knew that he couldn't have been human, defiance, "I'm the one who gives orders, not you! Now, identify yourself you idiot!"
"We are Ermac!" Ermac announced, "And we did no crime!"
"We?" the young man said, a bit confused by this, "What's this "We" business, there's only one of you!"
"We are many!" Ermac stated, pointing at the rude man, "You are but one!" The hovering man was even more confused and was becoming frustrated by this newcomer's responses.
"Are you a civilian or are you one of the Insurgency?" the man demanded, as he hovered down to the ground before a now confused Ermac.
"Insurgency? No, we are Legion!" Ermac yelled, becoming annoyed by this fool's interrogation.
"Gah, stop acting so stupid!" the younger man yelled, enraged by all these answers that did little to solve this mystery, "You know what, forget it! I, Superboy-Prime, here by place you under arrest for failure to coöperate with the Regime!" The man, now identified as Superboy-Prime, grabbed Ermac's wrist, only to glow green with Ermac's Hadoenergy, and being sent flying backwards into one of the buildings.
"We will not obey your commands!" Ermac said. Superboy-Prime landed on his feet, fuming with rage.
"You can't hurt me!" Superboy yelled, "I'm with the Regime! I'll... I'll... I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!"
"You don't scare me..." Ermac said before realizing he referred to himself as a single person, but before he could correct himself, Superboy suddenly flew straight at him, driving his fists into Ermac's chest, sending the ninja flying up through the air and through a nearby building, smashing against various floors before bursting out from the roof of said building before landing on it, rubble everywhere, groaning a bit in pain as tried standing up as he saw Superboy's fly up from the ground below and land on the roof, eyes color changing from his natural blue to a glowing viscous red and yellow.
"You ready to just give up and die?" Superboy sneered, floating towards Ermac.
"No..." Ermac said, cracking his neck and lowering his head as he got in his fighting position. "We're just getting started!" He yelled before rushing towards Superboy, who flew towards him.
ADH- Well, that's all for this chapter, how will this fight between Ermac and Superboy-Prime turn out? How did Ermac end up in the Injustice universe and what will happen due to his presence, well, I'm gonna be a bitch and tell you to wait till next chapter, right Jonny?
Jonny T- I'm firing my agent.
