EDITED: I realized I posted the wrong document regarding my timeline.

This is a remaster of my MK story, 'Cryomancer'. This is created because of my stupid timeline which will be explained at the end. Story focuses more on my OC, Jillian Neves. I forgot to mention that english ain't my mother tongue so there'll be some grammar errors.

Read MKX Comic chapter 16: Sub-zero Sekret Origins, and will wait for next week to read the new chapter. Huge possibilities of changing story pace.

Timeline is during Sub-zero's mission to retrieve a Kamidogu in the comics.

China

Jillian Neves is walking past stalls after stalls, checking on fruits if they're fresh or not. Choosing fruits during the night is hard but the lights provided by the vendors are enough. Jillian stops in front a stall and inspects the fruits. Liking that the fruits are fresh, she orders a dozen of apples and pays the merchant with the exact price before leaving.

Jillian's obviously a foreigner as she walks among the small crowd. She's caucasian; twenty-eight years old; five feet and seven inches tall with a lithe body frame and perfect curves; wavy, brown hair parted more to the right with locks cascading down her shoulders; milky-white skin that seems to glow when bathe in moonlight; natural blushes on her cheeks are enough to make her no make-up face beautiful; straight nose; a radiant and kind smile always gracing her pink lips; and wide blue eyes fringed with long eyelashes showing joy and understanding. But she communicates well even without learning how to speak Cantonese. What matters is know basic words and make simple gestures to tell the Chinese what you're trying to say. Understanding, communicating and being empathic is easy for her to do since it's part of her profession as a pediatric nurse.

What's she doing in China? Taking a vacation and forget unpleasantries that happened back in her hometown. She has a suitor named Bruce whom she started to like so much, she even considered breaking her traditional belief 'no sex before marriage'. But thanks to Chief of Medicine Dr. Cox and Head Nurse Carla, she discovered that Bruce was such an ass. The asshole has eighteen girlfriends, two of them are minors, one is pregnant, all of them slept with him. Thankfully, Jillian's not part of the bedded-and-duped entourage. Yet she's so disappointed of herself. Her special gift of sensing people's intentions and feelings, an ability that saved her life from danger and getting into wrong relationships, failed her. It greatly disappoints her so much, it affects her work.

Dr. Cox and Carla thought that Jillian's heartbroken and granted her a vacation leave for a month. They suggested that she get out and visit some cool countries. Jillian did follow their advise and she booked a tour, two weeks in Europe and one in China.

And here she is in China. It's her last night in the country and tomorrow morning she's going back to America. She really needed the break so much, she's able to relax and reassess her sensing ability...

Jillian suddenly feels strong evil intentions vibrating through the air that made her stop. She resumes walking and looking straight as she tries to pinpoint the source of the evil vibes through the dispersing crowd. She spots them, eight souls following her from behind. Thinking of a way to lose them, Jillian takes a sharp turn, continues walking and then takes another turn. The evil men are still following so she continues to takes turns. She doesn't know where she's going now until she finds herself blocked by a wall. When she tries to turn back, the eight evil men are already blocking her exit. She can't escape. Seeing the men giving her evil grins as they come to her, Jillian knows she's doomed.

'I escaped danger so many times but now... Fate is so cruel.' Jillian thought. She started screaming when the men moved to grab her.

"HELP! HELP!" Jillian screamed before one of the men covered her nose and mouth with a chloroformed kerchief.

'Somebody. Help...' before Jillian fully lost consciousness, her blurry sight sees a man drops on top of an evil man before punching another one.

Here's my theory/math regarding age and timeline of MKX, and thoughts. IMHO, the timeline is somewhat confusing:

In MK9, Jax's married and had a kid named Jacqui before his death. Johnny and Sonya married, both worked together as Special Forces and have a daughter named Cassie.

Then the Netherrealm War happened. Five years later, Jax, Sub-zero and Scorpion were revived from the dead. That makes the girls five years old. And so starts the story in the comics.

IMO, Takeda's twelve years old when Kenshi left him in Scorpion's care. Eighteen when the second Shirai Ryu was destroyed and he killed his possessed best friend, Fox (Fox is African, no wonder Takeda's smitten with Jacqui. No racism intended). At age twenty, he left Scorpion to train under Kenshi.

Cassie and Jacqui are the same age as Takeda. Both are trainees in the Special Forces.

Sub-zero's twenty-seven when he defeated Scorpion and turned into a cyborg. He stopped aging when he was killed and turned into a revenant to serve Quan Chi. Five years later, he was revived and sent on a mission to retrieve the Kamidogu. He should've been thirty-two if he lived during those five years. Now that he lived, he aged. For seven years, he searched and found the dagger in a Red Dragon temple in China but not before Kano wounded him with it. This makes him age thirty-four. For six years, Sub-zero was running for his life from the Cyborg initiative Lin Kuei while being cursed.

When Sub-zero survived Scorpion's attack, I think he fought the Lin Kuei with the aid of Bo Rai Cho and Raiden. He became Grandmaster of Lin Kuei for two years. He's forty-two (in this part, I might make drastic changes in future chapters).

Five years later, Sub-zero made peace with Scorpio and he tested an SF team consisting twenty-five year old Cassie, Jacqui, Takeda and Kung Jin (though I think Jin's older than the others). Sub-zero's age forty-seven. God, he's old! Old but handsome. Yeeeaaaahh!

Other thoughts: have you ever encountered or known someone with such a compassionate heart? I did meet one and inspired me to create my OC. Such good-hearted and generous people do exist. So are people who have the sixth sense.

Omigawd I'm rambling.
