Mortalkombat: Enemies of the Past

Ok I don't have much experience writing so I don't know how this will sound to you guys but here goes nothing. I don't own any of the Mk character

Intro:

Many ages ago, there existed one being. This one being was watched over by the Elder Gods. These gods had unimaginable power. Eventually, conflict erupted as man tried to gain power to become the ultimate ruler of the one being. In a desperate attempt to end this conflict, the Elder Gods split up the one being into six different powerful items called kamidogu, and created six realms to put them in. These kamidogu acted as power for the realms. These six realms are known today as Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Chaos realm, Outworld, Orderrealm, and Edenia. The realms are all ruled differently, but one man wanted to rule them all. His name was Shao Kahn; Emperor of Outworld. He had conquered many realms, including the realm of Edenia, which he had killed King Jerrod and took Sindel as his queen, and Kitana as his step-daughter. For some time Edenia was a part of Outworld until Earthrealms greatest warrior, Lui Kang, defeated him in mortalkombat while invading Earthrealm, freeing Edenia from his clutches. However, Shao Kahn still has his eye on Earthrealm…or does he have other plans?

And so our story begins….

Edenia

The sun had just begun to set into the clouds revealing a colour of pale pink and orange amongst the sky. Looking over the villages and the forests of Edenia from the palace balcony stood a young princess deep in thought.

"What is it, Kitana?"

The princess gasped as she whirled around to see a tall figure in a purple gown with pale skin and white long hair that almost reached the floor.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, it's just I was concerned. Is something on your mind?"

"Don't worry, mother, I was just thinking of how at long last Edenia is finally free from the ruthless tyrant Shao Kahn, thanks to Lui Kang."

"Yes. It was because he won the tournament that granted us our freedom, and we are together again."

Kitana smiled. For a long time she prayed for the day that she would be re-united with her mother once again. After her mother died, she was left with Shao Kahn to obey his every command. She closed her eyes. She never wanted to work for him again. She just wanted to stay in Edenia with her mother. She opened her eyes. Something still concerned her.

"Yes. I am forever in debt for what he did, but as long as Shao Kahn lives, Edenia will always be in danger of being invaded once more."

Sindel sighed. "I know you're worried, I am too, but you must not think about that. Whatever comes, we'll be ready for it."

Kitana nodded. Her mother was right. Edenia was ready for any Outworld invasion, but Shao Kahn always wanted Edenia for himself. She shook the idea out of her mind.

Sindel smiled. "Come on," She said as she put her arm across her daughter's shoulders. "Let's go inside. It's getting late."

Kitana walked with her mother inside. She glanced over her shoulder to see the sun completely disappear into the night before Sindel shut the door.

Outworld

Shao Kahn sat on his chair twiddling his fingers impatiently.

"Rain Come here!" He bellowed.

From the shadows emerged a ninja in clad purple. He bowed at the site of his master.

"Yes my emperor?" He said as he glancing up at the large, skull masked figure before him.

"I have a new task for you."

"I will serve my master however I can."

"Good. I need you to first retrieve for me the two sorcerers Shang Tsung and Quean Chi and bring them here. Tell them they will be rewarded for their services to me."

Rain looked down and furrowed his eye brows. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi have never worked together before, why would he want them to work together? He thought.

Shao Kahn noticed the confused look upon Rains face.

"Are you unable to complete this task for me?" He asked.

Rain quickly looked up. "No, I will complete this task. What is the second task?"

Shao Kahn nodded. "I want you and Reiko to first go to Edenia and report back when you have news of the royal family's plans. Then I want you two to go to Earthrealm and see what our enemy's are up to."

Rain bowed. "I will inform Reiko." He turned around and disappeared into the shadows once more. Good, he thought to himself. If I can find out what's going on, maybe I can find a way to free myself from Shao Kahn.

Rain searched Outworld until he found Quan Chi's fortress. He went inside and found Quan Chi sitting in a tall chair with his assassins standing on both sides of him.

"What does a general of Shao Kahn want?" Quan Chi asked suspiciously as Rain approached him.

Rain knelt down. "Shao Kahn has ordered me here to get you to team up with the sorcerer Shang Tsung, and I am to take you to report to him."

Quan Chi laughed coldly. "Ha! Tell me, why does Kahn want me to team up with such a weak sorcerer?"

"I'm not sure, but he's got his reasons."

Quan Chi chuckled. "And what if I refuse?"

Rain looked at him coldly. "You don't have a choice."

Quan Chi raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? What's in it for me?"

"He says you'll be rewarded for your services."

"What kind of a reward?"

"I Don't know, but I'm sure it'll be a good one."

Quan Chi scratched his chin for a moment. "Fine," He said. "I'll go with you."

"Good." Rain said. "Now we must go get Shang Tsung."

"No need." Quan Chi said. "I know where he is. I will teleport us there." He walked up to Rain and put his hand on his shoulder and teleported to the cobalt mines. They arrived A few feet from where Shang Tsung was standing. He had his back turned to them and faced a portal. Rain approached him.

"What do you want, Rain?" Shang Tsung asked.

Rain seemed slightly surprised that the sorcerer knew he was standing behind him. The sorcerer turned around and smiled.

"Why do you seem so surprised? Didn't think I would sense you coming?" He asked.

Rain nodded slightly. This was partially true. He knew that Shang Tsung would sense his presence the instant he entered the mines with Quan Chi, but didn't expect to know exactly who was standing behind him.

"So what is he doing here?" He asked, not taking his eyes off Rain.

"I've been ordered here from Shao Kahn." Rain said.

Shang Tsung's smile faded. He never enjoyed working for Shao Kahn. In fact, it had been his desire to kill him for many years, but every attempt he had made was foiled every time.

"And what service will he need from me this time?"

"You are to agree to work with the sorcerer Quan Chi, and you will be rewarded for your services." Rain said.

Shang Tsung paused for a moment. He didn't want to defile Shao Kahn…at least not yet….his time would come soon. Besides, joining forces with Quan Chi would make them unstoppable.

"Very well," Shang Tsung said. 'I'll also take out Quan Chi in the process and become the most powerful sorcerer'.
