Chapter 2 Dark alliance
The second of the two universes was home to an equal variety of warriors that were from multiple realms as opposed to just one world like the other world they compete in a tournament as well. It was invented by ethereal beings known as Elder Gods who use the events as a method to preserve peace across the realms, however despite it's background fights are brutal and death is always welcomed and at times required to progress. The tournaments are often overseen by a sorcerer known as Shang Tsung who has garnered many victories namely for a higher authority in the form a power hungry warlord known as Shao Kahn. The exact time he came into power is still shrouded in mystery but it is known that he usurped the power of a "predecessor" by poisoning the latter and seizing the throne for himself since then his desire for conquest has won him many different realms progressively gathering more minions and expanding his army to unfathomable proportions. Like all winning streaks unfortunatly it would soon come to an end.
The real reason why these Mortal Kombat Tournaments were created was at the urging of a Thunder god known as Raiden in hopes of halting the tyrant's invasion by forcing him to win a set number of tournaments in order to gain permission to invade the realms and was eventually successful in his pursuit when he took in a young monk called Liu Kang who defeated Shang Tsung and denied the former access to his realm.
"Five hundred years FIVE HUNDRED YEARS!" Shao Kahn roared.
"Now I must wait five hundred more thanks to your failure." Shao Kahn stated glared at his pitiful underling Shang Tsung "
B...But my lord..." Shang Tsung pleaded bearing the scars of his loss before he was cut of by the emperor.
"Curse those worms and their rules. Rules that not even I can break..." Shao Kahn returned to his throne and sat down deep within the inner recesses of his own mind pondering for an alternate solution only to be snapped back into reality by the pathetic begging of a sorcerer.
"Kill him." Shao Kahn Declared as he waved his hand back as sign to dispose of this failure of a man. Immediately the Warlord's minions restrained Tsung and Kitana, Shao Kahn's daughter readied her elegant yet deadly fans with the into of beheading the old man until Kahn suddenly ordered her to stop. The Princess complied without question and turned around to find out why he ordered such a command.
Stepping through his doors Kahn saw four strangers walking in.
"Well well this is quite the throne room the lead intruder said as he looked around.
"Who are and what do you think your doing intruding my throne room!" The emperor declared. As the Shao Kahn looked at the apparent leader he noticed the garments that looked noticeably alien to him.
"I do apologize for the sudden intrusion and the "mess" in you hall but we couldn't help but take a look around your castle after all this is fitting for a king, but anyways allow me to introduce myself I am Seth."
"Seth is it? You are very bold yet foolish to believe you can just break into my fortress and interrupt me in my own throne room while I'm trying to deal with personal matters." The emperor said
"Dispose of them!" Suddenly three repulsive monsters known as tarkatans emerged from hiding as they advanced toward their new victims they unsheathed their blades that were hidden deep within there spiked forearms. Suddenly the monsters darted towards the mysterious figures. Seth gave out a nod and the three figures sprung into action coming at the rushing tarkatans.
The first of the three was a tall shirtless man with a snake tattoo wrapping around his right arm to the right side of his chest while dons stainless steel catclaws on his left hand and wore a white mask concealing his face he quickly leaps into the air and like missile he darts down at incredible speed towards his attacker and slashes at the latter's face killing it instantly.
"Such a hideous abomination! You will be thankful that you no longer scar the eyes of those in the world of the living." The tall man said as said as he look down the tarkatan's corpse. The second mysterious figure was a large burly man, dark skinned donning matching blue sleeveless shirt and shorts with a pair of red boxing gloves. Both man and beast struck at the same time but the sheer force of the boxers gloves breaks through the mutants blades and hammers the unfortunate victim in the face several times before landing one final blow that shatters it's skull and dislocates the neck causing the tarkatan to slump over the floor dead. The last of the three was a young woman with a unique hail, small dark purple top with straps running along her back, and baggy white pants suspended by a belt with purple tights underneath. In one swift powerful kick the last attacking tarkatan's skull was obliterated like watermelon subjected to a sledgehammer once.
the last of the three tarkatans fall the surprised emperor conjures his war hammer but then Seth raises his hand began to speak
"We don't to start a feud we simply want to propose a alliance." Shao Kahn immediately stopped and lowered his weapon and spoke one word.
"Continue."
