Mortal Kombat X: Gods Among Us
Episode 1: Help From Another Realm
In a distant realm, one similar to that of Earthrealm, a tournament was being held and it looked as though a winner was going to be determined. A man dressed in yellow attire was about to finish off his enemy...however, before he could deliver the finishing blow, he was transported to a different location. He looked everywhere and noticed a woman standing in front of him. She was wearing a A top hat with a corset tuxedo jacket fingerless gloves nylons long thy high boots and a bowtie.
?: Well, hello there. I didn't think my spell would be work.
?: Who are you?!
?: My name is Zatanna. May I ask who you are?
?: I am Scorpion! Spector of the Netherrealm! Vengeful spirit of the Shiri Ryu!
Zatanna: Well, Scorpion, I need your help.
Scorpion: I serve Quan Chi, I must destroy Sub-Zero, he killed my family and clan!
Zatanna: Listen to me, Scorpion. I need your help. We cannot handle this on our own.
Scorpion: Why should I help you?
Zatanna: Let's just say...I can help you get what you want.
Scorpion: You can revive my family?
Zatanna: With my magic, it is possible. Only, if you help us.
Scorpion: Very well...
Zatanna: Perfect. Now, stand still.
Zatanna began to wave her wand around and colors and such circled around them both and before you knew it, they were gone. They resurfaced in a different location.
Scorpion: Where are we? What is this place?
Zatanna: This is the gathering.
Scorpion: Gathering?
?: Correct.
From the shadows, a man came walking out. He was dressed in sinister armor and a large hat, covering his piercing yellow eyes.
Scorpion: Who are you?
?: I am Raiden, protector of Earthrealm.
Scorpion: Why have you summoned me here?
Raiden: Please, listen to me, Hanzo...
Scorpion: Hanzo is dead! I am Scorpion!
Zatanna: Well, Scorpion, we need your help to free Raiden's fallen friends.
Raiden: They were once protectors of the Earthrealm that I come from.
Zatanna: But they were killed, during the invasion of this...Shao Kahn.
Raiden: And I need help, in order to return them to the living.
Zatanna: And that is why I brought you here. So you could help us.
Raiden: Which reminds me, has Sub-Zero returned with the others?
Scorpion: Sub-Zero?! He is here?!
Zatanna: Not the Sub-Zero, from your realm. This Sub-Zero did not kill your family.
Raiden: He has offered to assist us in my attempt to save my comrades.
All of a sudden, a portal opened and out came a man dressed in blue ninja attire. There was steam coming from his arms and mask. This...was Sub-Zero.
Sub-Zero: Raiden, I have found the allies, in which you requested.
Raiden: Excellent work, Sub-Zero.
Sub-Zero: Scorpion...?
Zatanna: Not exactly...this Scorpion is from a different realm. He is working with us.
Raiden: In other news, I am pleased to see you could all make it.
Raiden turned his attention to the allies that Sub-Zero brought with him...Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Smoke, Jade, Cyrax...and Quan Chi.
Liu Kang: So you are the Raiden from another realm?
Raiden: Yes. I have come here to ask for your assistance.
Kung Lao: What can we do to help you?
Raiden: I have come to this realm, seeking the aid of Earthrealmers who could help me restore my fallen comrades to the living.
Kitana: What do you mean? What has happened?
Raiden: In my realm, many of Earthrealm's defenders fall at the hands of Shao Kahn and his Outworld army. Many were killed, became undead warriors, resurrected by the sorcerer Quan Chi. Now, the revenants rule the Netherrealm.
Zatanna: And that's why we asked you here.
Smoke: But how can we be of help?
Raiden: I ask that we must find the Quan Chi of this realm and we force him to restore my fallen friends.
Cyrax: There is no need for force. Quan Chi is not our enemy.
Liu Kang: Yes, he may aligned with Outworld but he has helped us, many times.
Zatanna: Then let's find him.
Liu Kang: Who are the fallen Earthrealmers that have fallen?
Raiden: Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Jade, Kitana, Smoke, Stryker, Kabal and Nightwolf.
Kung Lao: Even with Quan Chi's help, it will not be enough to restore them all.
Zatanna: Perhaps not alone but if I combine my magic with his...
Cyrax: You think you can make his spell stronger?
Zatanna: Strong enough to restore all of the revenants.
Liu Kang: Okay then. It is settled, we will offer our help, Raiden.
Raiden: Thank you.
