Intro: an idea based around the idea of Kira being the daughter of Sonya and Kano. Based around the events of the first movie.

Once upon a time there was a child abandoned to a hospital. A little girl with dark brown hair and light olive skin, she was warped in a blanket with just the word 'Kira' pinned to her with a paperclip. So she became Kira Doe; of course when she was adopted she would have a proper last name, but never happened.

As an infant she was almost adopted, after all most adopting parents want an infant, but there was something strange about her. She would cry all hours of the night, even when lulled to sleep she would suddenly awaken as if having a horrible nightmare. It was almost as if there was a war in her going on in her head. She was deemed a "special needs" child and sent in to foster care.

From there she lived a normal life. She learned to internalize her feelings, rationalizing it all to an over active imagination. Then there was one moment that seemed a little odd. At age 11 she was being bullied. It went something like "you like bobby! ewww! Hey bobby she likes you! Kiss him!" - Or something stupid. But it ended with Kira being shoved in the face of "bobby" and when she was forced to "kiss" him she spewed a cloud of pink gas from her mouth.

She had no idea how or why. It was so bizarre that it was ignored as some freak chemical accident. But two people knew this incident marked the moment to make contact; Kenshi, and Kabal. Whoever could win over the girl would pull in the most powerful fighter ever to exist in any realm.

First was Kenshi, as an agent of General Sonya Blade's faction in out world. He had been the one to place the baby in earth realm; he was the one who carried the truth. He was given visions to carry back to the child; vision of the truth as was told to him from Sonya, hopefully it would be enough to convince the 11 year old.

Before Sonya's first appearance in the Mortal Kombat competition Kano was already in good with Shang Tsung, as a representative of the Black Dragon Militia. To gain favor with Kano, or perhaps just for fun, Shang Tsung captured Sonya using restraints made of pure magic, and let Kano rape her.

Now in addition to this being an evil thing to do, Shang Tsung knew that it just might produce a cursed warrior child; a child born of hate, who he could mold in to his personal champion. This was not a sure thing, and he lost track of the idea when Kano kicked her in the stomach during their match.

But Sonya knew of this idea (it wasn't too difficult to figure out) so after giving birth to the baby in secret she instructed the blind warrior Kenshi, one of her most trusted allies, to name the baby, leave it in earth realm, then return to fight alongside her in the ongoing battle against the growing forces of out world.

He named her Kira, a name that signified both beauty and death. Kenshi watched over her from afar, making sure to be the first to approach her when the time was right. He saw her grow up, even though an outcast, she possessed undeniable intelligence (though her schoolwork and creative writing)and strength/agility from "playing" gymnastics (perfectly copying whatever she saw on TV- from the age of 4.)

A week before her 12th birthday was when he first came to her in a dream, making an official introduction. He walked her though a tour of her past; all the characters of the war in out world, the war her mother had been fighting for over a decade. Although she had never been to Out world These were memories she had ever since she was a baby, but at least now she knew what she was seeing.

Kenshi even told her about his own life and what lead to his blindness (due to mistakes, when fighting for the wrong team), and his redemption. In this dream he told her he would meet her in person in 2 days.

"Ok," she smiled in the dream. She felt like Harry Potter or Alice in Wonderland; this was a free ticket out of her ordinary life- at least it would be if this proved to be more than just a dream. She didn't fear him as a stranger, so convincing her to leave with him, to reunite with her mother would not be a problem.

For the next day she went to school as usual, hoping to see the blind Asian man from her dream. Of course in her dream he looked like a solider from a strange land, with a ribbon wrapped over his eyes; she was sure he would not look like that if she saw him in her world.

She cut out after lunch period and took a bus down town to see a movie. She got off near a McDonalds and cut across and alleyway, that is where she saw.... something.

"Kira?" it said in a whisper. It looked like a robot made from trash, but on closer inspection it was ........a homeless man wearing a gas mask?

"Kenshi?" it may have been him, since he knew her name; of course it could have also been a rapist.

"I am Kabal." He said offering her a place to sit in the dirty, darkened alley. It was a gamble to send someone as mutilated as Kabal to talk to a young girl, but it appeared to be working.

"Are you hungry?" the cute little 11 year old with long brown hair touched the respirator and then his mask in a way that was beautifully sweet. Along with her slightly round head and typical teen fashion taste she was just adorable. How she could be born from Kano and Sonya was a mystery.

"I could eat," She of course offered him part of her sandwich that she didn't eat from lunch. Kabal himself had never fathered a child but if he did he would want a sweet little angel like her.

"I am here to tell you of your father." he said.

"My father? The rapist with the cyborg eye?" she said matter of factually, like a 4 year old who knew that B is for ball.

"You may have heard from your mother's 'friends' that he was a villain," he paused to take in her expression. "But there are 2 sides to every story."

And she seemed more than willing to listen. Kabal had the same ability to put memories into her head that Kenshi did, but he would need to stretch the truth just a bit.

"As a matter of fact; do you know what happened to his eye?" he asked. Of course not; she would only know what Kenshi told her.

"No," she said, now starting to feel guilty about the 'cyborg eye-ed rapist' remark.
