The legacy of the Lin Kuei

Prologue-An Icy Rescue
Approaching the white house of the Dursleys on 4 Privet Drive, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore spotted a very familiar animal form and stated, "I should have known you be here, Professor McGonagall," found out the said professor returned to human form and enquired, "How'd you know it was me?" "Ah Professor, I've never seen a mundane cat sit so stiffly before!" he responded sagely, but inside he thought, 'Where is that oaf Hagrid?' as he was answering another of McGonagalls questions, before continuing his train of thought, 'He should've been here by the time I'd arrive,' and then his thoughts were interrupted by the roar of an engine in the sky.
12 hours earlier on the street of a burnt out hulk of a house, water in a fountain of the closest park, began to form a layer of ice on the surface, before spreading out to the pathway, and then the snow and ice started to meld into a new shape, forming a head, body, arms, hands, legs and feet, as the figure completely formed, the layer of frost began to melt away, leaving a man with upper half of: an Arctic blue sleeveless martial arts robe with Chinese dragon designs on the shoulder straps and hem of the waist sash, with his lower half: black near skin tight jeans and knee high martial arts boots with ice blue guards, this man also wore: a pair of black shoulder guards and hood with a cold blue face plate, he also emitted a cold icy mist from his hands and had an arctic white glowing scar across his right eye, his name was known to all as Sub-Zero.
Sub-Zero now walked down the path leading to the Potter residence, he had been informed by the Elder Gods via Raiden the thunder god: that Tom Riddle A.K.A. Voldemort was after the Potters, asked to assist in their escape and/or to retrieve Harry, if he were to late to stop him, "No I'm to late," he said, when he first saw the state of the house and then his walk progressed to a run, as he entered the front door, then as he saw the body of the Potter lord and knelt by his side, to check for a pulse and said, "Be at piece, noble warrior for you've died honourable," as he had found that James had none, before he cover James' body a layer of Frost, then snow and final ice, which then sunk into the ground and was sent to the Raidens temple for a warriors burial, before he heard the cries of an infant upstairs and followed.
Once Sub-Zero finished climbing the stairs, he saw the house had more damages to than previously believed and then he head for the nursery, where he found the body of Lily Potter being shaken by a crying Harry, "Come on, little one I can protect you," he said, in a tone of as much affection as he could, though it still had a bit of coolness in it (Side effect of the ice manipulation, along with been a brooder), before he said, "Let your mummy rest, you'll see her again," as he picked up the child, before cast a light sleeping charm (Sub-Zero simply placed two fingers on Harrys forehead and then the latter went to sleep) and then wrapped Lily in a cocoon of ice sending it to the temple like James, before he exited the house and disappeared in a cyclone of snow, as a large man on a bike approached and entered the house to search.
Now back at Privet Drive, Hagrid landed with a loud thump, in front of the 2 professors, "Professor Dumbledore sir, Professor McGonagall," he gruffly said, before dismounting which was when Dumbledore commanded, "Hagrid, where's the boy?" with a slight tone that conveyed – you better have him or all my plans are not going to work, "He wasn't there professor and nor were the bodies of the Potters!" said Hagrid, which set Dumbledore off as he proclaimed, "We must find the boy and bring him to his family," and with that he Apparated away, leaving the remaining to stare off in wonder and dumbfoundment.
Coming back to Sub-Zero and Harry Potter (the latter still asleep), who both arrived at Raidens temple 4 hours ago, then met up with Liu Kang, before the three of them entered the temple and standing before them was the thunder god himself Raiden, in a ceremonial lightning white material with a splayed conical hat and black padded boots, "Thank you, Sub-Zero," he said, in a tone portraying gratefulness, before continuing, "I hope Albus can forgive us, but I don't think his protections are good enough to keep young Harry safe," it was then that Sub-Zero suggested, "Lord Raiden, I volunteer to raise the boy as my own and my wife Jade would dearly love Harry like a son too," with no protest from Liu Kang, except he requested, "Just as long as I and my wife Kitana, can visit him I've got no objections," "I'll shall also train him to achieve his destiny as a defender of Earthrelm, as I feel it is best he'd be ready at all times," Sub-Zero continued after Liu Kang, before Raiden finished, "Very well Sub-Zero, I also expect you to be correct and he also has the wizarding prophecy to contend with."
Now in the castle known as Hogwarts, the headmaster was now pacing furiously around his office saying, "Where is that blasted boy, he's ruining all my plans," before his pacing was interrupted by a great flash of thunder, when it fizzled out Raiden stood in the office, before he thundered, "Albus Dumbledore, you will do nothing to the Boy-Who-Lived, he is under my protection at the decree of the Elder Gods and you do well to listen, don't assume that your can manipulate him for your own gain, as you'll be very disappointed," then Raiden flashed out, leaving a furious Wizard decreeing, "How dare you Raiden, the boy will be in my control and at the Dursleys to be downtrodden, for my plans to work," before finishing with, "You will not stop me, Albus Percival Wulfric Brain Dumbledore from what is rightfully mine."
Now several miles away at an ice white temple, Sub-Zero walk out of a mirror of ice, carrying a sleeping baby boy in a warm blanket, "Jade honey, I've returned," he called, as a young women came in: a jade green belly top, lime green extremely tight formfitting jeans and black knee high, heeled boots with her charcoal black hair flowing down her back, "Steve honey is that you?" she asked, then when she saw what he was holding queried, "Whose the little one? Honey," "its Harry Potter honey, Lord Raiden had allowed us to raise him," was the answer she got, before she took the kid from her husbands arms.
As Jade set Harry down to continue his nap, Steven (Sub Zero) prepared their spare room: removing the junk and replacing it with; an ice cot and changing station also made from ice, along with using the oversized sheets repeatedly folded as a mattress, for now so then they could get actual cots and other baby supplies.
