Disclaimer: Mortal Kombat is the property of Netherealm Studios, formerly known as Midway. It is a shame that Midway went bankrupt after Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe came out and it's glad that the creators of MK are still around. Also I should warn you that this chapter will contain spoilers for those who don't know about the MK story or played any of the MK games so I think for those who haven't, you should click the back button as this will explain the events of Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
Mortal Kombat Reckoning
By EmperorDraco7
Mortal Kombat…. is not about death but the preservation of life, for millennium the forces of light and darkness fought for the fate of Earthrealm. Some seek to use the tournament to destroy all that is good while others seek vengeance, power or eternal life. The Outworld Emperor Shao Kahn has sent his sorcerer Shang Tsung to unbalance the furies in order to allow Outworld to take control of Earthrealm and it ultimately led to 9 Outworld victories and one more will allow Kahn to finally take the opposing realm as his own.
However his take-over of Earthrealm was put to a temporary end when Liu Kang and his allies defeated Shang Tsung and Shokan Prince Goro after many tough battles on Tsung's island fortress. According to the sacred rule, their home realm would remain safe for one more generation. Though that wouldn't stop the Emperor in any way as he lured his enemies to Outworld to compete in a tournament of his own, knowing that he will have the advantage due to it taking place in his own realm but in the end, his plans were once again thwarted by the efforts of Liu Kang and his allies.
Kahn was still determined to take control of Earthrealm as he decided that it was time to bring his beloved Queen Sindel back to life in that realm, enacting a plan that had begun millennia before, and upon doing so, he began his invasion at full force. He actually almost succeeded in merging the two realms into one however there were souls that the Emperor couldn't take as those souls belonged to the warriors of Earthrealm who once more bring an end to the plans of Outworld and save their realm though Johnny Cage was killed by an Extermination Squad prior to the defeat of Kahn.
With Earthrealm and Edenia freed from Kahn's reign, both realms thought that there would be peace however the fallen Elder God Shinnok had escaped from the Netherealm after the defeat of Outworld and had tried to finish where he left off years ago, starting with the attack on Edenia. He soon turns his attention towards Earthrealm and vowed to get revenge on Raiden for his previous defeat but is threat came to a halt with the efforts of Earth's defenders along with the assistance of a revived Johnny Cage. As a reward for saving the realms from Shinnok, Raiden was given the status of an Elder God and he chooses Fujin to take his place in protecting Earthrealm from future threats.
The peace made by Shinnok's defeat was only temporary as Quan Chi escaped from the Netherealm to Outworld and had not only discovered the undefeatable army of Outworld's original emperor… Onaga the Dragon but had also formed a Deadly Alliance with Shang Tsung in order to conquer the two realms. However first things first, they kill not only Shao Kahn but also Earthrealm's Champion Liu Kang so that neither of them would stand in the way of their ultimate mission though they never knew that the Shao Kahn they killed was actually a clone of the real one who had created it in order to fool his enemies during the time Edenia and the Shokan had joined forces to fight against his rule. Upon finding out what was happening, Raiden relinquished his status of Elder God in order to return to Earth and gather his most trusted allies for a confrontation against the two sorcerers. Even Kitana and Bo Rai Cho joined forces with their Earthrealm allies in order to defeat Shang Tsung and Quan Chi unfortunately they failed to defeat the Deadly Alliance and only Raiden stood in the way but falls to their power as well. Bo Rai Cho was able to save a girl named Li Mei who was forced to enter a tournament held by the sorcerers and almost had her soul used to revive the mummified army of the Dragon King as soon as she emerged victorious in the tournament.
Their victory was short lived as they found themselves turning on each other, ending the Deadly Alliance and much to their dismay…. Onaga had somehow returned to the world of the living as Reptile was searching for Nitara as she was to blame for the supposed death of his master only to be bit by a powerful beam that came out of the hatching Dragon Egg. This led to a new alliance between Raiden, Tsung and Quan Chi as they tried to work together in order to defeat the all power Dragon King but to no avail. With no other option, Raiden sacrificed himself in one final attempt to defeat this new foe however it had little effect on Onaga as he survived the attempt and takes the amulet from Quan Chi and he resurrects Kitana, Jax, Kung Lao, Sonya and Cage while placing them under his control.
As he gained the loyalty of Tanya, Hotaru, Mileena, Baraka and the Tarkatan Hordes, a man known as Shujinko has blamed himself for having unknowingly helped Onaga in collecting all 6 powerful items called the Kamidogu and the Earthrealm, the Netherealm, the Chaosrealm, Outworld, the Orderealm and Edenia all made up the consciousness of an entity called the One Being which had fed off of the Elder Gods since before the existence of the realms. With the help of Ermac and the spirit of Liu Kang, the brainwashed-Kitana, Sonya, Cage, Jax and Kung Lao were freed from the control of Onaga and with the help of their allies, Shujinko destroyed the Kamidogu before they can be merged together into one while Nightwolf banishes the powerful emperor into the Netherealm to end his threat for good.
Though it was short-lived as the being Blaze was freed from where he was held in once the Dragon Egg had hatched and he had informed Kitana about the coming of Armageddon as well as that she needed to gather all of her friends and allies for the final battle to decide the fate of all that exists. While this happened, the Edenian God Taven was freed from hibernation and discovers that he must go on a quest to prepare for the upcoming battle with Blaze on top of his palace though he learns that his younger brother Daegon was accidentally released early and had formed the Red Dragon while at the same time killing his and Taven's parents in the process.
Throughout his journey, Taven discovers that Raiden had been corrupted and is allowing Shao Kahn, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi and Onaga to proceed with their desire to conquer all the realms in exchange for Earthrealm being spared. Upon defeating Raiden, he proceeds to also defeating his evil brother Daegon once and for all in Edenia before preparing for the final battle with Blaze on top of the pyramid but unfortunately he fails due to Shao Kahn intervening and takes down the powerful entity himself while killing anyone who stood in his way. Now only Raiden and Shao Kahn remain as the final battle is about to take place.
A/Ns: Well here it is… I hope you like it as I'm new to writing a Mortal Kombat fic and originally I was going to do Mortal Kombat Conquest and then the events of the original MK games from MK1 to Armageddon but since I've tried out MK9…. I've changed my plans and this ends up being the main result. I will hope to do more for the story soon if I don't have other plans.
