Chapter 11: Shao Kahn
Shang Tsung had been defeated at the hands of Kung Lao and all the souls he consumed were free. However before they could ascend to the heavens, Shao Kahn rose from this throne and consumed the souls himself. Now the thousand souls that Shang Tsung consumed in the past were now trapped in Shao Kahn.
He laughed "I must thank you for defeating Shang Tsung. Now I have the power to destroy you are!"
Liu Kang walked forward "No Kahn! I will defeat you!"
Shao Kahn reached for his hammer "You have no regard for your life. I am going to enjoy your demise!"
Shao Kahn shoulder tackled Liu Kang and tried to hit him with the hammer. Liu Kang was able to move out of the way of the hammer but was hit by Shao Kahn's knee attack. Shao Kahn stood over Liu Kang and taunted him.
"How do you hope to defeat me in your present condition? I have the souls of a thousand warriors, you can not win!"
Shao Kahn picked him up by his throat and started to choke him. Kitana looked on as her champion was having the life choked out of him.
"Hurry we can not let him die! Fire your projectiles at him!"
Masao jumped forward and shot a couple of his fireballs at him. When they hit Shao Kahn, it caused him to lose his grip on Liu Kang.
"How dare you interfere!" Shao Kahn shot his fire ball at Masao and knocked him against the wall. Yoshio was enraged and threw his boomerang at Shao Kahn. He swung his hammer and knocked the boomerang back at Yoshio and it cut the side of his cheek. Kitana and Jade stepped in tried to attack him at the same time. Kung Lao pulled Liu Kang away to give him time to recover then joined the girls in the attack. Kitana tossed her steel fan and it scarred Shao Kahn's chest. He was furious and swung his hammer at her but didn't see Kung Lao coming behind him. He dived kicked him and knocked his helmet off thus exposing his face. Masao and Yoshio recovered and hit him with a combination of the fireball and boomerang then moved in to attack him. Shao Kahn was now weakened but had enough strength to swing his hammer. He knocked the five attackers back.
"Fools, you might have weakened me, but you will not finish me off!"
Liu Kang had recovered "They might not be able to defeat you but I will!"
He shot is fireball where Shao Kahn's wound was and caused him to yell in pain. Following up his attack he ran towards Shao Kahn and hit him with a flying kick. Soon some of the souls began to leave him. Shao Kahn struggled to get back on his feet.
"This is not over Shaolin warrior. I rule this world!"
"It is over Shao Kahn, all of you tyranny and evil will be cleansed and the only way to do that is to defeat you."
Shao Kahn charged towards him "NEVER!" He swung his hammer at Liu Kang but he kept dodging it. He knocked the hammer out of his hands then exchanged blows with him. Shao Kahn did his best to defend against him but now that he was weaker he was no match for the Mortal Kombat champion. Liu Kang continued on with his attack and finished off Shao Kahn with his cartwheel upper cut combo. As soon as Shao Kahn hit the ground the rest of the souls that he consumed began to leave him and ascend to the heavens. Once the souls were gone, Shao Kahn turned into dust. The corrupted emperor was now dead and Outworld was twisted and transformed back into a beautiful and peaceful realm.
