He is many, but how did he become many?
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Mortal Kombat and I am making no money off this.
It was at the first Mortal Kombat Tournament, a man representing Outworld, dressed in black ninja gear with a red belt was fighting against a representative from Earthrealm, the fight went on, the Earthrealm representative had the upper hand, the Earthrealmer wielded a long sword while the Outworlder wielded an axe. The Outworlder raised his axe when the Earthrealmer lunged forward and impaled the Outworlder, causing the Outworlder to fall to the ground, covered in blood.
"Finish Him" said Shao Khan
The Earthrealmer raised his sword above his head, but rather than killing the Outworlder, he stuck the sword into the ground, showing the Outworlder mercy.
==Later==
The outworlder wandered the forest of his home world, still wounded from the fight, he started to feel dizzy before he passed out from the pain. The Outworlder awoke inside some kind of cave, he was on some sort of bed of grass near a fire.
"Ah, you're awake" said someone
The outworlder looked to see an elderly man watching him.
"What happened?" asked the outworlder
"You fainted, as a result from your injuries" said the man
The Outworlder tried to stand up, but the pain in his abdomen told him not to.
"I wouldn't move about too much, you'll bleed out quicker" said the man
The Outworlder lay still.
"What's your name?" asked the old man
The outworlder removed his mask, showing his dark maroon short cut hair, small goatee, piercing crystal blue eyes and scar over his lips.
"My name is Ermac" said the Outworlder
"Well Ermac, I'm afraid that you don't have much time, your injuries are too severe, pretty soon, you'll bleed out" said the man
"What?" asked Ermac
"But, I believe I can help you" said the man
"How?" asked Ermac
"I believe I may know a way to heal your injuries, but the process is very dangerous, it could damage your mental state" said the man
"And?" asked Ermac
"I will be willing to help you with your injuries, but I wanted to let you know that you may regret it" said the man
"I'll do it, whatever the cost" said Ermac
Ermac reached for a bag of gold to pay the man, but the man only held up his hand.
"Settle down Ermac, I don't want your money" said the man
Later, Ermac and the old man were in a cave, Ermac was lying on a large stone like a bed while the old man was reading from what seemed to be a book on rituals and curses.
"Hey, I never asked this, but who are you?" asked Ermac
"My name is Eroh, I am a sorcerer" said the man
Eroh grabbed a large spoon filled with a light red liquid.
"Drink this" said Eroh
Ermac drank the red liquid and soon, he fell asleep. Eroh started to perform some kind of ritual, green glowing skulls started flying around Ermac and Eroh, before they flew into Ermac's chest. While this happened, Ermac's injuries started to heal.
"It's working, fear not Ermac, soon you will be back to full health" thought Eroh
Eroh's smile of pride and victory soon faded when Ermac's skin started to crackle and deteriorate.
"What's happening? This is not supposed to happen" thought Eroh
Eroh checked in his book for an answer.
"Oh no, this is bad, this is very bad" thought Eroh
Eroh ran over to the sleeping Ermac and grabbed his shoulders.
"Ermac, wake up, WAKE UP ERMAC!" said Eroh
Slowly, Ermac's eyes, which were no longer piercing crystal blue irisis and white sclera, now every last part of his eye was a bright glowing green. A bright flash of light nearly blinded Eroh while a very powerful gust of wind blew back Eroh, making his back his the cave wall and briefly lose consciousness. When Eroh came to, while his vision had went a little faded from the bright flash of light, he saw Ermac standing atop the large piece of rock.
"Ermac? You're alright" said Eroh
Eroh stood up, his eyesight slightly recovered and he saw that Ermac was not standing on the large rock at all, he was hovering slightly over it.
"Ermac? What happened?" asked Eroh
Eroh's eyesight quickly returned completely to normal, and he saw Ermac's clothes had completely changed. Ermac now wore a blood red long sleeved shirt and red pants under a black trenchcoat with red accents. Ermac's hands were now wrapped in black bandages. He was now wearing black ninja boots with red coloured shin guards. He wore a black belt with a golden buckle shaped like some sort of shield with the Japanese characters for souls on the front in black. Ermac also wore a black mask with red accents and a silver piece at the front. He also wore a black bandana with a small green amulet on the forhead. Several floating skulls that were glowing green surrounded Ermac.
"Ermac?" asked Eroh
"Thank you Eroh, you have restored us, and for that, we are greatful" said Ermac, his voice now having an echo
"Ermac?" whispered Eroh
"For what you have done to us, we are in your debt" said Ermac
With that, Ermac flew away, leaving Eroh in a state of shock.
That does it for this chapter, hope you enjoyed.
