Unlikely Heroes

Prologue
Somewhere in the Netherrealm
Raiden
Raiden stood before the group of Revenants, who watched him carefully. "Earthrealm has suffered far too much. I see now that the only road to safety is by annihilating all who pose a threat. Will you follow me on my quest?" he asked of them, red eyes watchful. They turned to their leader, Liu Kang, who stared at his former master. His gaze shifted to the head of the fallen elder god lying on the floor, where it twitched slightly. Slowly, he nodded. Never again would Earthrealm be the victim. They will be victorious.
Outworld
Erron Black
Erron Black patrolled a street in the city, keeping an eye out for any crime. Things had pretty much returned to normal. Well, as normal as Outworld could get. So many different species existed in controlled chaos, united under Kotal Kahn. His boss was doing quite well after Mileena was dealt with. Black was just keeping an eye out for Tanya or Rain. The rebellion was coming to a close, and peace would soon be restored. Then he'll be back to cashing in easy paychecks. Quite the life!
Lin Kuei Temple
Sub-Zero
Sub-Zero sat quietly in the temple, meditating. Kuai Liang occasionally assisted in training Cage's team, but since Shinnok's defeat he had confidence that they were ready for anything. The grandmaster was still working out peace relations with the Shirai Ryu. Mr. Hasashi remained untrusting, but the two had developed a respect for each other. Together, Sub-Zero and Scorpion would end the feud between their factions.
Special Forces HQ
Takeda
"C'mon you two, hurry up!" Cassie exclaimed to Takeda and Jacqui, who were walking behind her and Kung Jin. "Or at least get a room!" Jin snickered. "Ha ha, very funny guys." Jacqui replied, rolling her eyes. Takeda kept his arm around her shoulder, although he gave Jin the single finger salute. Both were recovering nicely from their injuries, although it had only been a week since they were fighting for their lives. The Revenants were worthy foes, giving the duo a lot of trouble. If Cassie had taken any longer… While Johnny rested in the hospital, Jax and Sonya were in charge of their program. Another thing that had changed in the past week? Takeda and Jacqui officially began dating. So far, everything was great! Takeda was unable to hide the news from his father (obviously) and Jax eventually found out. Life was looking good for the special crew. Too bad good things so quickly come to an end.
Jinsei Chamber
The Jinsei Chamber pulsed. Ever since Shinnok was defeated, Earthrealm's life force had been emitting strange signals. Finally, it surged, creating a strange shockwave. After the energy had been expelled, the chamber was tranquil once again. But the shockwave kept on travelling, heading for four unsuspecting targets…
I apologize for the short prologue. The actual chapters are longer. WARNING: OCs lie ahead. If this bothers you, you don't have to continue. If you are okay with this, cool. Please leave a review and favorite!
