Chapter 12: Exorcism of Shinnok
The souls of Raiden and Fujin ascended to the heavens. Waiting for them were Argus and their two friends Suijin and Kajin. The three of them walked forward to
address the souls.
"Raiden, Fujin, it pains us to see you like this but you have finally learned your lesson" said Argus.
"What lesson was that?" asked Raiden
"I think you know what that lesson is, you just demonstrated" said Argus.
Raiden and Fujin thought about it and then realized what Argus meant. "That a mortal should fight and protect the people they care for."
"Yes Thunder god that is correct, you two sacrificed yourselves to save your mortals. So you have been granted your status back. The elder gods and I will give you
it now."
The rest of the Elder gods appeared and transported Raiden and Fujin's bodies to the heavens so they could be fully restored. The elder god chanted a spell and
transported their souls back in their bodies then they were able to return them their immortality and full abilities. Raiden and Fujin's eyes and hair turned white and
Raiden felt his eyes spark electricity again. They are now their former selves again.
"Excellent, Now, go save your mortals, the Fire god and the Water god are going with you this time" said Argus.
"Very well, Suijin, Kajin, let us put an end to Shinnok together."
"With pleasure Thunder god" said Suijin.
The four gods teleported back to the Lin Kuei palace to stop Shinnok once and for all. Liu Kang and Sub-Zero were doing their best to fight the demons off. Kung
Lao and Smoke were on the ground trying to recover along with Sun Chou, Zhou Yan, Earth-Quake and Wind.
"We can not lose them, Master Raiden and Fujin would want us to keep fighting" said Kung Lao.
"It is worthless to continue fighting, you will all die!" said Shinnok and as he summoned more demons.
Just then, a loud thunder storm could be heard outside of the Lin Kuei palace. The clear skies became dark and heavy. Soon thunder and lightning could be heard
and heavy wind soon picked up. The main door of the Liu Kuei palace blew open. Soon Raiden, Fujin, Suijin, and Kajin teleported and destroyed all the demons that
Shinnok had summoned with their powers.
"SHINNOK, THIS TIME WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE FOREVER BANISHED TO THE NETHERREALM!" roared Raiden
The Four gods shot Shinnok with their powers so that he couldn't move. Kajin engulfed Shinnok with flames. Suijin used his powers to put the fire out and drown
Shinnok with water. This gave Fujin time to lift Shinnok up with is tornado. Raiden chanted a spell to open a portal to the Netherrealm. Then he used his powers
and electrocuted Shinnok causing him to blow up. The Soul of Shinnok then descended into the portal to the Netherrealm. Raiden closed it up with his powers as
well. The four gods stood in triumphant as their long time adversary was gone.
Sub-Zero saw the Water and Fire god and bowed to them. "Please forgive the Lin Kuei for our past mistakes."
"At ease Lin Kuei warrior, we hold no grudge against you" said Suijin
"Yes, You need not take the blame for your brothers actions. You may rise now" said Kajin.
Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei stood up and bowed to the fire and water gods.
"Raiden, Fujin, we are returning to the heavens, we will see you there" said Suijin.
Suijin disappeared into a puddle that quickly evaporated and Kajin disappeared into flame and then went out.
"Master Raiden, Master Fujin, it is good to see you back to normal" said Liu Kang.
"Thank you, come with us, we have someone you should meet" said Raiden
The two gods and the four monks teleported from the Lin Kuei palace to a small village located in the Japan region of Earthrealm. Eiji and Koji were paying their
respects to their deceased masters when they showed up behind them.
"Your masters have been avenged, we made sure of that" said Fujin.
Eiji and Koji turned around and bowed to them. "Raiden and Fujin, how were our masters avenged."
"The two travelers that came to your village were us as mortals. We had been punished for being involved in the affairs of mortals but now we have regained our
status. The demons that attacked your village were from Shinnok, a long time enemy ours. With help of these monks, we defeated him" said Raiden.
Eiji and Koji were at a lost for words soon Yuki and Nobu came out and bowed to the two gods as well.
"Master Raiden who are they? Asked Kung Lao"
"They are Eiji and Koji, your rivals from birth. Their ancestor Siro fought along side your ancestor in Mortal Kombat." His life ended when Goro killed him just like did
your ancestor.
Liu Kang and Kung Lao walked forward and extended their hands to Eiji and Koji. "It is an honor to meet you" said Liu Kang with a humble smile.
Eiji and Koji reached for their hands and shook them.
"Now then, it's time we return you to the Wu Shi Academy" said Fujin.
The Two gods returned the monks back the Wu Shi Academy. Before they returned to the heavens, they had some words for their monks.
"Liu Kang, Kung Lao, thank you for all that you have done for use" said Raiden.
"You're welcome Master Raiden" said both of them
"Sun Chou, Zhou Yan, help your shaolin brothers defend Earthrealm. You have proven yourselves worthy to be apart of our chosen ones" said Fujin.
"Yes Master Fujin" said both of them.
"We will be watching over you, good bye for now" said Raiden.
Both of them returned to the heavens, they now understood how it felt to be mortals. Never again will Raiden and Fujin take their powers and positions for
granted.
