Chapter 2: Reviving Black Doom
Quan Chi and Shang Tsang knew the right tools of the trade to revive Black Doom, Shadow had given the two some of Black Doom's remains toward them to perform the ceremony.
"This should be rather interesting" said Quan Chi.
As the two began the ceremony, Raiden had already hired Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Sonya, Jax and Sub-Zero to investigate the whereabouts of Shang Tsang and Quan Chi whom were supposedly being watched over by Shadow and his Dark Legion allies. The five Earth warriors headed toward a Dark Legion base not far to try to get information out of the Dark Legion's leader Enerjak.
"This makes no sense, Shadow gave us our word that he'd keep things safe" said Liu Kang.
"I know he did, but somehow I sensed that his words were doubtful, I hope I am not correct on this" said Kung Lao.
"Let's just get them to ask a few questions" said Sonya.
As the Earth warriors trekked their way toward the Dark Legion base, Jax tried to head onto the field, but was met with lasers to which he had to head toward where the other Earth warriors were.
"I guess they're not interested in being civil" said Jax.
"I think we should find a way around them and get into the base and demand some answers" said Liu Kang.
"I'll create an ice shield" said Sub-Zero.
As Sub-Zero created the barrier around his comrades, the lasers couldn't hit the Earth warriors, Liu Kang fired some bursts of fire at the lasers which prevented from hitting them as they made their way toward the Dark Legion base.
"Keep firing!" cried a Dark Legionnaire to his comrades.
Suddenly the same Legionnaire was grabbed by his sleeve by Jax.
"We want answers on why you have done nothing to stop Shang Tsang and Quan Chi" said Jax.
"Enerjak, he's in the main base" said the Dark Legionnaire, "but you won't get far."
"We'll see about that" said Jax.
As the five warriors made their way to the main base, Enerjak who was in his chambers could feel their presence as they stepped in.
"We want answers" said Liu Kang, "and we're not going to leave until you give us one."
"You want an answer?" laughed Enerjak as he flared up his chaos powers, "Here's my answer!"
Enerjak then began to shoot green fireballs at the five Earth warriors whom were able to get out of the way. Liu Kang along with Sub-Zero fired their elements at Enerjak, Jax leaped toward Enerjak and pummeled him down with his metal arms. Kung Lao and Sonya ended up kicking Enerjak right down to the ground.
"You have the right to remain silent" said Sonya.
"Fool, I gave permission for Shadow to use my Dark Legion" said Enerjak, "as part of our agreement."
"What agreement?" asked Liu Kang.
"Oh, you don't know, you're not from this realm, Shadow is related to Black Doom for whom he wants to revive" continued Enerjak, "I myself have tried countless times to revive Black Doom only to meet in complete failure, Shadow's new allies Quan Chi and Shang Tsang are helping him to revive Black Doom, which you five shall be no match."
Sub-Zero then flares up with rage and completely freezes Enerjak in complete solid ice.
"Come on, we're done here, his followers can thaw him out for all I care" said Sub-Zero.
As the five warriors left, Enerjak ends up thawing the ice himself with his powers.
"Fools, they thought they could stop me that easy, I allowed them to escape to see how foolish they are" said Enerjak.
"Should we contact Lien-Da and Shadow?" asked a Dark Legionnaire.
"No, I want to watch them be surprised to find these Earth warriors snooping on their ground" continued Enerjak.
As the five Earth warriors headed out, Quan Chi and Shang Tsang continued their ceremony uninterrupted as they continued to chant, Shadow who came into the scene with Lien-Da noticed that Black Doom was rising from his ashes.
"Yes, almost just what I could imagine" said Shadow, "soon Black Doom shall help me conquer Mobius and soon we'll takeover the other realms."
"I live!" roared Black Doom as he ended up becoming fully revived, "I am completely restored!"
Black Doom ends up levitating himself up in the air and opens up a portal.
"I shall now consume this planet and everything in it!" laughed Black Doom.
"At last Black Doom" said Shadow as he bowed down with Lien-Da, "we are here to serve you in your quest."
"Ah yes, glad to see you have repented from the last time" laughed Black Doom.
As Black Doom prepared, he was unaware that the Earth warriors were in the area as they were likely going to disrupt what Black Doom had in store.
