Cole MacGrath, once known as the "Demon of Empire City" but now the "Patrot Saint Of New Marais". He was a noble hero, sacrificing himself for the lives of so many innocent people. But now, Zeke Dunbar, a close friend of MacGrath has found a way to revive his old friend. With the supplies he found a city-sized ship, he has been able to revive Cole from the dead.

Zeke: Been a while, hasn't it, Cole?

Cole: I'll say...I can hardly recall much, since New Marais.

Zeke: Yeah, it has been a while.

Cole: But I've lost all my powers...and I don't have the AMP anymore.

Zeke: No worries, brother. I whipped up something new for you.

Cole: Another AMP?

Zeke: Nope. It's the stake you used against Bloody Mary.

It was the same weapon that Cole used,when he lost his AMP. A cross, from a nearby coffin, creating a makeshift stake.

Cole: Yeah, I remember.

Zeke: Added a few adjustments too it.

Cole: Thanks, Zeke.

Out of nowhere, Cole's head began to hurt. He started to see pictures, in his mind. In that split second, he understood, Cole was seeing the future. He was recalling people that he's never met. He was seeing many powerful warriors, fighting against other warriors and monsters. He saw a man with a strange hat and had the power of lightning. The vision ended and Cole returned to Zeke's side.

Zeke: Cole? Cole!

Cole: Huh?

Zeke: You okay?

Cole: I just...had a vision.

Zeke: Vision? You serious?

Cole: Yeah but...the people I saw...I don't even know them.

Zeke: Hrm...you saw a glimpse of the future...kinda like Kessler did.

Cole: Yeah...but I don't know what it means.

?: It means that they are events that you must change or prevent.

Cole and Zeke turned around and came across an old friend.

Zeke: Hey! Long time, no see.

?: I agree.

Cole: It's to see you, Hayabusa.

Hayabusa: Likewise. How have you been? Last time I remember, you were deceased, correct?

Cole: Yeah...but Zeke brought me back.

Hayabusa: How is that?

Zeke: From some projects called "nanocells".

Hayabusa: Yes, you brought them to Helena. Cole, tell me more about your visions.

Cole: What's there to say, I couldn't make them out.

Hayabusa: Try to remember.

Cole: ...there was a man with a straw hat, he had lightning powers, like I did. And there were others. Not a lot of them had any supernatural powers. But...

Hayabusa: Were they similar to Hayate and others?

Cole: Kind of yeah.

Hayabusa: So then it is true.

Cole: What's was true?

Zeke: What are you talking about?

Hayabusa: There was rumors of another Earth similar to ours...that existed in a different timeline.

Cole: Different timeline?

Hayabusa: Come, I'll show you.

Zeke: Where we goin?

Hayabusa: To DOATEC.

Hayabusa led Cole and Zeke to DOATEC, when they encountered many new faces and familiar friends.

?: MacGrath, my old friend.

Cole: Subject 881. It is good to see you again.

Helena: Welcome back to the living, MacGrath. Nanocells, correct?

Cole: According to Zeke, yes.

Helena: What do I owe the honor of your visit?

Hayabusa: The rumors of the other timeline is true.

Helena: ...

Cole: I don't understand, what timeline?

Helena: Follow me, to my office.

Just then, there was screaming coming from the entrance, Cole and the others ran there way towards the entrance and witnessed monsters attacking the workers. They were...quite terrifying but not enough to scare our heroes. Cole and his friends dashed downstairs to fight them off.

Cole: What in the hell are they?!

?: We are Tarkatans! From the realm known as Outworld.

Zeke: Outworld?

?: We are here to assist in Shao Kahn's goal to conquer Earthrealm.

Zeke: Bad news, freaks how, that ain't gonna happen.

?: We shall see, Earthrealm fool!

This monster sent others like him to attack Cole and Zeke. Cole used his stake to fight back, while Zeke used his regular punches and six-shooter. It was a tough fight but they prevailed.

Hayabusa: Are you two alright?

Cole: Yeah, we're alright.

881: What are those creatures?

Hayabusa: I'm not sure. But maybe Cole's vision has something to do with this.

Cole: My visions?

Hayabusa: Yes. Maybe it's some kind of a message.

881: What is our next objective?

Hayabusa: We find this...Outworld that he spoke of.

Zeke: Then what?

Hayabusa: We will figure it out, when we get there.

Zeke: Then we better go.

Cole: Alright.

Hayabusa: 881, stay here. Your job is to protect DOATEC and those who work here.

881: Of course.

Hayabusa, Cole and Zeke followed the monsters that retreated and headed into a portal, deep, in the woods. Cole and Zeke nodded, as they and Hayabusa made there way inside. As they passed through the portal, Cole, Zeke and Hayabusa entered a strange new world with a dark outlook. Not a single soul was seen...not even those monsters from DOATEC were around.

Cole: They're gone?

Zeke: Can't be...where else could they have gone?

Hayabusa: They must be close.

As they were about to walk, they are Cole stops and begins to have another vision. This time, it was of a woman with a strange looking outfit. She had long black hair and had fans for weapons. The vision continued, with another woman with black hair and had a simple pole, for a weapon. The vision was seen of the woman with sharp fans, being taken away and sent for execution.

Zeke: Cole? You okay?

Hayabusa: What did you see?

Cole: A woman...in blue, she will suffer a tragic fate.

Zeke: What does it mean?

Cole: I think...I'm suppose to prevent this from happening...

Hayabusa: You think so?

Cole: I guess...not sure.

Hayabusa: Then let us search for the woman in blue.

Cole: She has fans...sharp fans for weapons. Be on the lookout for those.

Hayabusa: Very well.

Zeke: You got it.

Cole: If anything happens, meet here, back at the portal and we'll retreat.

Hayabusa: Understood.

Zeke: You got it.

Cole: Let's move.

Cole, Zeke and Hayabusa split up to search for this woman. Alone, Cole was trying to understand why he was having these visions and why they were repeating, in his head. Just then, he came across four strangers...one of them was a woman...in blue. Cole had found the woman, in his visions. As for the other three, they didn't seem to ring a bell. However, one of them...had a straw hat...it was the man from Cole's previous vision.

?: Princess Kitana. I request an audience.

Kitana: Earthrealmers! You dare approach me?

?: Hey listen, honey, we don't wanna fight.

?: But we will if we must.

Kitana: You will learn respect!

This woman in blue...named Kitana fought against two strange warriors. One of them seemed to be from earth and the other was wearing some grey ninja outfit...with smoke seeping from it. She was a tough fighter. Cole could see that something was troubling her. Just as he was about to stop her, the man in the straw hat, already did so.

Kitana: Shao Kahn wants death to follow kombat. I will give it to him.

?: Perhaps Liu Kang was wrong about you. Or perhaps he sensed, as I do, that there is conflict within you.

?: Thanks. Ow. You couldn't have seen that in one of your hot flashes?

?: Something whispers to you that circumstances should be different. That you should be different. You are much more like Sindel than Shao Ka...

Before this guy could continue, he got the same reaction as Cole does, when he gets a vision.

Cole: Wait a second...can he...?

?: But...she is dead...

Kitana: My mother is dead, yes. Why do you...

?: You need answers, Kitana. I can help you find them, if you will trust in me. Go to Shang Tsung's Flesh Pits. Much will be revealed there.

Kitana: The Flesh Pits? But I am forbidden to...

?: Yes. You are. And why is that?

Kitana: I...don't know. Tell me...

?: You must discover your true path. Alone.

The man began to walk away, with the other two warriors, leaving Kitana puzzled. Cole realized that this man also could see the future. And that he was no threat. Maybe this could mean he and the others would have an ally. Cole used his radio and called Zeke.

Cole: Zeke, you there?

Zeke: Yeah, I'm here. Did you find her?

Cole: Yeah...and others. Other warriors, from my vision.

Zeke: No kiddin? Did you talk with them?

Cole: Not yet, but I will, when I get the chance. I'm going to follow this woman and see what happens.

Zeke: I'll be in touch, brother. I'll give you a call, if anything happens.

Cole: Copy that.

Cole followed Kitana deeper in the woods, until she stopped, for a moment.

Kitana: Show yourself, Jade. I know you're following me. Again.

From behind a tree, a woman in green walked out...the same woman who was also in Cole's vision.

Jade: Following you still. I know where you're going. I am ordered to prevent you from going there.

Kitana: And why is that?

Jade: I do not question the emperor's commands. Kitana, please. Turn back.

Kitana: I cannot. This path might lead me to the truth. I'm sorry, Jade...but I will not allow you to stop me.

So the woman in green, from Cole's vision was named Jade. They seemed to be close...but Jade was following orders from someone. Kitana did not hesitate to fight back...it was painful to see two friends fight each other. But Cole wasn't the only one following Kitana, Hayabusa was also there but kept out of sight. It seemed Hayabusa was following Kitana...or maybe he was following Jade. Who knows...

Kitana: I tried to warn you...this is something I have to do.

Kitana continued on, with Cole following her. As for Hayabusa, he came out of hiding and walked over to Jade. He sensed goodness within her but could see she was blinded by loyalty. Before he knew it, Jade woke up.

Hayabusa: Are you alright?

Jade: Mmm...what happened...?

Hayabusa: Your loyalty to this...emperor brought you defeat.

Jade: Kitana, where is...?

Hayabusa: She has gone to the Flesh Pits. It is for the best.

Jade: ...I have failed my emperor.

Hayabusa: Perhaps whatever it is she finds there, will open your eyes to the truth.

Jade: What do you mean?

Hayabusa: We shall see. Let us return. Take me to your emperor.

Jade: He does not take kindly to Earthrealmers...nor will he tolerate failure.

Hayabusa: Do not worry about that.

Jade took Hayabusa to the emperor's domain and awaited for Kitana's return.

?: Where is Kitana?

Jade: She has gone to the Flesh Pits...I could not stop her.

?: Perhaps it is for the best. She will discover the truth.

Jade: Emperor?

Before the emperor could continue, Kitana had returned with a man, dragging him to the room.

?: You are dismissed, Jade. Leave us.

Jade: Yes, emperor.

Kitana: I would not disturb you, father, if this matter were not of utmost importance. I felt you should know what Shang Tsung has been doing as of late. This conjurer has created horrid replicas of me...crossbred of Tarkatan blood. One was alive...and attacked me!

There was a moment of silence, as the emperor walked up to Kitana and Shang Tsung.

?: Well done, sorcerer.

Kitana: You know...You...approve? How could you? My own father!

?: I am your emperor! Your father was a weakling Edenian king. I annihilated him, while merging his realm with Outworld and took his queen as my wife. If only I had not allowed Sindel to convince me of your worth...But now I have a true daughter!

Kitana: Raiden was right. You have lied to me my entire life.

Hayabusa: Raiden?

?: Escort her to the Tower. I will make an example of her. Return to the Flesh Pits. Bring me my daughter. Mileena.

Jade finally revealed, from hiding, only to be ashamed.

Jade: I failed you, Kitana. Now I will make amends.
