Mortal Kombat .vs. The Boogeymen
Chapter .6. Raiden in Edenia
(When Raiden left the team he went to Edenia to help Kitanna...and she needs help)
Raiden appeared in Edenia right after he explained all he knew to Lui Kang and his friends, the thunder god was desperate to get Kitanna out of harms way and with the Forces of
Light before anything happened, but it seemed he was too late. "By the elder gods!" Raiden cried out as he came closer to the Edenian palace that once was viewed as a beauty
umong all realms, now was a burning ruin, and the sounds of screams echoed from within and blood stained the green grass surrounding the palace. Raiden waisted no time and
teleported inside the palace, however the first thing he saw was not an Edenian gaurd, it was a pair of decaying zombies! the two ghouls looked straight at the thunder god
"Braaaaiiinssss" they murmed and then lunged at him, Raiden quickly dodged the zombie's attack and with a quick karate chop, sliced it's rotting head off it's shoulders, he then
spun around and fired a ball of lightning at the other zombie, disintergrating it instantly. Raiden started running up the spiralling stairs towards Kitanna's chambers as more
and more of the undead ghouls came at him and he dispatched them just as quickly.
...
Upstairs, Kitanna was having similar problems, two zombies, more powerful than the others had been in her chambers attacking her for almost an hour now, and although she held
them off, she was beginning to weaken, "When we're done with you babe, were gonna eat your brains with chopsticks, to make it last" said the pink haired female zombie named
Trash, she wore nothing but purple stockings up to her knees, the other zombie was also female, excpet her skin was normal, and she had what appeared to be shards of metal
sticking out of the skin on her face and shoulders, her name was Julie, "I dont want to hurt you but... Im so hungry.." Julie said. Kitanna looked between the two undead women
circling her... if she was going to strike, now was the time, she readied herself to attack... Just then the door to the room blasted open and a cloud of smoke filled the area,
the three women jumped in shock and peered into the smoke and dust and saw the shaodw of a man, then the shadow blasted a bolt of lightning that hit Trash straight in the chest,
she let out a howl and was blasted straight out of the large window behind her, she fell multiple stories before splatting head first onto the hard pavement below, the contents
of her head staining the ground. Julie was about to charge at the man in the smoke when Kitanna, taking advantage of the situation, pulled her two steel razor edged fans out and
with a quickl slash, sliced Julie's head clean off her shoulders, blood fountained from her neck before her body fell lifelessly to the ground.
Raiden approached Kitanna who bowed her head slightly in greeting, "Lord Raiden, I am so glad you came when you did" said Kitanna, Raiden nodded, "Kitanna, It is no longer safe
for you here, the realms are being invaded by creatures from another world, creatures who live only to kill and torture, the Forces of Light are gathering to stop them and we
need your help" the thunder god explained, "I will do whatever I can to help...but... how is this happening my lord?" she asked, a tinge of anger filled Raidens eyes, "This is
the work of Shinnok... and when I find him he will wish that he were not immortal after I am finished with him" Just then a firey portal exploded open just behind Raiden,
knocking the god and the princess to the ground, Raiden and Kitanna both got up quickly and gazed as Shao Kahn emerged from the portal! "Shao Kahn!!" Raiden yelled and was
aboput to fire a lightning strike when the emperor cried out, "Wait!, I have not come here to fight you thunder god, I am here to warn you" he said, Raiden still stood infront
of Kitanna, not lowering his gaurd, "Warn us... of what?, why should we beleive anything you have to say?!" Raiden yelled, Shao Kahn bellowed in laughter but then stommped on
the ground, "These... 'boogeymen' are an abomination! they have no honor, no morals... even to my standards, I have come to offer you a chance to destroy this invasion...and of
course, to destroy Shinnok".
...
A few moments later, a blue wormhole opened up in the fields of Edenia and Lui Kang, Johnny Cage and Lori stepped out of it, Lori looked around, utterly amazed at what just
happened, she had heard that Special Forces had access to advanced technology, but she never imagined this, "So... were not on Earth anymore?" she asked shakily, Lui Kang smiled
at her and shook his head. Just then Raiden and Kitanna appeard infront of them causing them all to jump slghtly in shock, "Kitanna!" Lui Kang cried, "Lui Kang" she called back
as the two ran into an embrace...which caused Lori to turn away and sigh. Raiden did not rejoin the group, "I am afraid I must leave you all for a while... something has, come to
my attention" the god said, "What's wrong Raiden?" Johnny asked, "It is not your concern... take care" he replied, then vanished, Lui Kang looked at Kitanna and she replied with
a look of sadness, so Lui Kang did not ask. A moment later, the wormhole reopened, Sonya and Jax emerged, Johnny approached Sonya, "Hey?...are you ok?" Sonya looked up and
smiled, "Yeah, Im fine" she replied, "So what's the plan?" Jax asked, the warriors all gathered around eachother, the Forces of Light were whole, they all thought for a minute...
"We should find Sub Zero here in Edenia, I beleive to combat these boogeymen we will need all the help we can get" said Lui Kang, Johnny agreed and the others followed,
"The Lin Kuei temple is not too far from here, we should leave now before it gets dark... God knows what will come out in the dark with these things all over the place" Jax added.
...
Shao Kahn had been gone for a while, but Shinnok barely cared, that oath can sulk alone if he wished, something mjore important had been presented to him, now that Scorpion had
returned with Pinhead, the Deadly Alliance was growing stronger, and now, a new blessing had been presented to him, Shang Tsung held out a small red gem, "This is the legenday
Fire Opal, Lord Shinnok, the scrolls of the other world are very...detailed of what this stone contains" the sorcerer explained, Shinnok smiled, Freddy, standing next to him, sneered, "Just do it already!" the
dream demon yelled, Shang Tsung growled at him, then stepped down and crushed the opal in his hand, a great flash of light erupted in the chamber and a shorrible squelching sound filled the air as a string of
slime shot from the shards in Shang Tsung's hand to the wall, the smile twisted and formed the face of the Wishmaster, the face however did not grin as it usually does, the Wishmaster could already sense a
massive change, "Welcome great djinn" Shang Tsung said with a small bow, "I know why you frown...your djinn brothers and sisters are far away...you can not hear them...but do not worry, for we here can
offer you something greater" he said, the Wishmaster grinned, "And what can I offer you Shang Tsung?" he asked, "I can read your heart...you wish for the throne of Shinnok, I can give it too you, if you wish"
he offered, now it was Shinnok who frowned, "What is in your heart Wishmaster?...do you ever disire to use your powers without the need to be wished too? Help us...and you will have that power...and much
more" Shang Tsung replied, The Wishmasters eyes opened wider, he then pulled his squelchy, two legged, first form body from the wall and crawled across the floor, "How will you achieve this?" he asked,
"Once Earthrealm is destroyed, the elder gods will have no power, and your ties will be broken... you will be free" Quan Chi replied standing next to Shang Tsung, Freddy cackled, "I've heard of you... your bad
as shit now...imagine what you can do with all your powers... Imagine the Hell we'de all raise" he added, looking at all in the room. The Wishmaster thought...then after a few minute smiled wide and began to
change into the tall classic djinn, his skin was a blackish yellowish tinge and his horns draped bak like hair, he also had a long flowing dark blue cape. Wishmaster stood up and replied, "Done".
