BACK IN THE BATTLEZONE
" What you have name changes?" Justice asked his siblings.
" Yeah." Exodus said. " My name is now Azarel, Orion is Israfel, and Avaria is now Rayne."
Justice lowered and shook his head.
" Whatever." He said.
Justice and his allies disappeared in a veil of smoke.
IN AN UNKNOWN ZONE
Darkheart began to open his eyes.
"Where are we?" He asked. " We were supposed to die in that attack. So are we dead?"
" No I saved you at the last moment."
Darkheart turned to see Lena walking towards him. As she walked towads him, Lena glowed a faint green. As she did this the others began to stand up, healed from their wounds.
" Lena what is this?" Darkheart asked.
Suddenly she began to glow again. But this time it bright enough to make everyone shield their eyes. When the light dimmed away, everyone was shocked at what happened. In place of Lena stood an elegant woman who was wrapped in a tradtional japanese kimono. Her eyes glowed an eerie green and her long purple hair flowed through the breeze that was captured in the unknown realm.
" Lena?" Darkheart asked.
" I am Lena no more." She said to him. " I am the lost elder goddess... Amaterasu."
" I was protecting....an elder goddess?" Darkheart asked confused. " Why have you saved us?"
" Because unlike some of the elder gods and goddesses, I believed that as an elder goddess we should lend our strength to you all. Regardless of our position." Amaterasu answered.
" Are there any others who feel this way as well?" Asked Marquita.
Amaterasu nodded her head smiling.
" Other than myself, there's Raiden, Fujin, Ozoboro, and Lady Suleia." She answered.
Cindy looked around the area.
" Where are we?" She asked.
" The Realm of Truth." Amaterasu answered. " This realm shows a person's past, and their future."
" What about their present?" Asked Jamal.
His answer was a slap in the head by Cj and Marquita.
" Is that why you brought us here?" Asked Adrian.
" Yes. I wish to show you how you all were connected into this battle." Amaterasu answered.
With a wave of her hand she changed the atmosphere of the realm. When the light dimmed down, the heroes were treated to a veiw. Marquita and Cindy were shocked.
" That's us..." Marquita said.
Cindy could only nod.
" Wow so that's what mom and aunt Cindy looked like when they were younger"Seraea thought to herself.
" Marquita, your and Cindy were looking for your mother when you two got attacked by the, Cintaurians" Amaterasu explained. " You two were captured and taken to one of the local soul tombs. There you were reunited with your mother. Do you two remember how you escape?"
The two sisters shook their heads.
" Basically it was someone who broke in to free the prisoners." Amaterasu continued. " These people freed you all and every one escaped. A couple of moments later, Liu Kang had defeated Shao Khan and the soul tomb was destroyed."
Cindy and Marquita looked at each other confused. Next Amaterasu took them to another scene where this time it was someone else.
" Here we have a young Jenny." Amaterasu explained. " In this moment. The scorcerer Quan Chi killed Jenny's parents and kidnapped her. He then took her to outworld, where everything she learned in life, she learned from Quan Chi.
Jenny began to hug herself but Adrian wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. She began to feel a little better. Amaterasu gave them a little time before continuing
" Around this time is when she met you, Adrian." She continued. " Not only did you give her hope, but you did something no other person did. You loved her. And yet you still do to this day."
Adrian smiled while he held Jenny. Amaterasu changed the scene to a city that was ravaged with over a million dead bodies. Among these dead bodies was one survivor.
" Is that?" Cj started.
" Yes Cj." Amaterasu answered. " Kurtis Stryker. He was believed to the lone survivor of an attack that consumed the souls of millions. But he's wasn't the only survivor now was he.....Adrian?"
Everybody turned to Adrian who remembered that day.
" No he wasn't." He told them. " I also survived that attack."
The scene played out just like it happened. Adrian was walking around looking for anyone....He found nothing. He had almost given up hope until a bright flash caught his eye. He turn to the direction where it came from and sure enough it was a portal. Something told him not to go in it but he did it anyway. The portal led him to outworld. Then the scene shifted to Rahzgriz. It was a while back when Onaga was a good ruler of outworld. He held his son in his arms.
" Rahzgriz...My son. You will make a fine king." Onaga said.
Everyone was stunned.
" Onaga wasn't always evil." Amaterasu told them. " He was a just and kind ruler. What started him down this path was when he had his first taste of conquest. He ignored Rahzgriz and the people of outworld to build his army. When Rahzgriz was old enough he began to study martial arts. He chose the Dragon style and mastered it. Then when he became of age. Rahzgriz decided to undo the damage that his father did to the once beautiful realm. Around this time he met Adrian and they began their quest."
Maya placed a hand on Rahzgriz's shoulder.
" I'm sorry about your father." She told him.
" The Dragon King was defeated a while back." Rahzgriz explained. " But I have forgiven the man I once called father."
The scene then shifted to Maya's time.
" Around this time on Earthrealm, a new heir to the throne was to be announced by the people of the amazon." Amaterasu explained. " And the heir turned out to be Maya."
Maya said not one word. She only watched the scene.
" Of course there were some who didn't exactly agree with it." Amaterasu continued. " The advisor to the crown, Scyleia was extremely jealous and felt like she should have been the one next in line to rule. Ever since she has held a deep resentment for Maya. Scyleia attempted to get the help of Shang Tsung to steal Maya's soul but he failed for Maya fought back with such tenacity. He was forced to retreat."
Then the scene changed to Darkheart.
" Around the time that Liu Kang was killed by the Deadly Alliance, Darkheart was the member of a gang of oni from the netherealm." Amaterasu stated. " Although he was the strongest of them all. He didn't let them know it. When they all arrived, they looked for human children to take back with them to the Netherealm. Darkheart found me. He was going to take me to the netherealm, but for some strange reason he didn't. It was as if he felt some sort of emotion. When they wanted to kill me, he defended me, they mercilessly beat him to the brink of death, I saved him and he challenged them again. He slaughtered the gang members and became my guardian until this day."
The scene faded into Cj.
" Cj you were a victim of the soul tombs as well." Amaterasu explained. " However you didn't stay there long."
Everyone looked at her with questionable looks.
" Why?" Asked Cj.
The final scene she showed them put everything together. Reese and Jamal's scene.
" Reese and Jamal were actually involved with the war back then." Amaterasu told them. " The invasion first came into their turf. The two of them along with six others friends fought them off. But this battle wasn't without loss."
Jamal lowered the brim of his hat to shield his eyes from what was about to be shown.
" Reese, Jamal, Bryan,Dizzy, Loop, Rory! Get out of here!!" Chelsea yelled.
" Let's Go!!" Yelled Jamal.
But Reese wouldn't budge. Jamal grabbed Reese and dragged him out of the building.
" Let me go!! LET ME GO!!" Reese roared.
" Reese thank you....I love you" She said to herself. Just as they left however Tristan stumbled in. He was hurt bad.
" Chelsea...get...out...of here." He said with his last breath. He collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing. Then the neighborhood's crime lord, Melchiah strutted into the room.
" Well. Your boyfriend got away huh?" He teased. " No matter after I take over your turf, I'll kill your man slowly."
She quietly got into her stance and charged toward Melchiah to attack.
OUTSIDE THE BUILDING
Loop was busy trying to hot wire one of the trucks that was abandoned during the battle but was having a hard time.
" Dizzy gimme a light!" He yelled.
She grabbed her mini flashlight that she had strapped to her belt. He finally succeed and the car started.
" Alright let's go everybody!!" Dizzy yelled to everybody.
Everybody jumped in except Reese.
" Reese move your ass!!" Yelled Bryan.
But Reese still wouldn't move. Jamal ran up to his brother and grabbed his arm.
" You're going in there aren't you?" He asked.
Reese nodded.
" I'm going with you." He said.
Suddenly a gun was heard being shot and the gang looked up to see Tristan, Chelsea, and Melchiah crash from the window and to the ground. Melchaih was injured but he was still alive. Tristan and Chelsea weren't so lucky. Reese cradled Chelsea and Tristan in his arms and cried. Dizzy ran up behind him and embraced him as she as well wept. Loop rested his head on the wheel of the vehicle, Jamal, Bryan, and Rory bowed their heads and cried. Reese threw his head back and unleashed a war cry to the heavens had seemed understood his pain. For they began to cry as well.
BACK IN THE REALM.
Wildguard were shocked and appalled at what they just witnessed.
" But this is not where it ends." Amaterasu said.
BACK IN THE SCENE.
Reese, Jamal, and Bryan infiltrated the soul chamber to the north, while Loop, Dizzy, and Rory attacked the chamber to the south.
Reese and his group were successful in freeing the people there. One of them included Cj. In the south chamber, Loop's group saved the people in there as well. Two of them were Marquita and Cindy. And just as the two chambers were emptied, they blew up.
" The fuck just happened?" Asked Loop.
" Those hideous buildings are gone." Dizzy pointed out. " That means..."
" LIU KANG WON!!" Jamal exclaimed. The crowd jumped for joy as the souls of millions were either freed or were able to now rest.
BACK IN THE REALM.
" So that's what happened." Marquita said. " But why do I not remember this happening?"
" I can answer that." Liu Kang responded. " After the battle, Raiden erased the minds of everyone who was a victim of that horrible war. The only reason Reese, and the others' memories weren't erased is because even if Raiden had did that, they would still remember losing Chelsea and Tristan."
Every turned a looked to Jamal.
" Yeah. Everything he just said is true." He told them. " It hit Reese hard as hell. Our families took us somewhere away from the old neighborhood. The other four either moved away as well or they're still around."
" After that war Raiden took notice of all of you." Amaterasu explained. " We Elder Gods had made the prophecy including all of you. But now the threat known as Justice has reared it's head. You all must be prepared for that time."
" What about my cousin?" Asked Cj.
" About him....."Amaterasu started.
BACK IN EDENIA
Sindel awoke from her slumber to the sounds of murmured cries. She jumped out of bed and tried to see where the noise was coming from.
" What's the problem?" She asked.
" It's Reese!!" A guard answered.
She ran to his room and looked inside. He was gone.
" Where did he go?" She asked herself.
Just then a loud commotion was heard outside. Just then a gang of rouges rushed towards the palace. Queen Sindel ran towards them ready to fight.
