In the Darkness Somewhere
Everyone on the field saw the light. It appeared in all its maleficence high above the Temple of Janus. The light signified the destruction of the Sorcerer Shang Tsung, and with it the force behind Shao Kahn's army.
With Shang Tsung gone and Reiko nowhere to be seen, the Emperor's Outworld army soon fell into turmoil.
The Shokan relented first. Kintaro had already been defeated and killed in battle by Sonya, Jax and Johnny Cage. Goro then did not hesitate in gathering his races remaining numbers and flee with them back to his Kuatan home.
The Tarkatans, without Reiko or Rain to lead them, fled not long after. They did not go on-mass, but slowly scattered away as such impotent creatures often do. They did not return to Shao Kahn however, instead they hid themselves in various corners of Outworld. It was a wise choice, for a return to Shao Kahn would be a foolish choice indeed.
The remaining men who fought as part of the Emperor's horde were then easily killed off or captured by the alliance of Earth and Edenia. The battle was over, the forces of good had won.
The lone warrior wandered through a lengthy corridor in the darkness somewhere, somewhere in Outworld.
His purpose? To inform his Lord and Master of the conclusion of the Battle of Janus.
The figure in the darkness did not reveal its form to the lone warrior nor did he ever. He chose instead to remain in the shadows. When the lone warrior was stood before his Master he dropped to one knee,
"My Lord," the warrior announced,
"What news do you bring me at this time General," the figure in the dark commanded,
"The Emperor's main forces have been defeated my Lord," the warrior revealed, "They all but finished,"
"This is pleasant news indeed my dearest servant. The time for my triumphant return to power is upon us,"
"Very good my Lord, and what of I?"
"You will get your reward in time General," the shadowed man told him, "But for now you must leave me. The Emperor may not be finished just yet, there is more damage to be done. I will alert you when our time has come."
The General bowed again, "Yes my Lord," he said, then turned and left his Master's presence.
As a point of interest, this was originally going to be the end of the story, what follows was going to be a story of its own, but in the end I decided that it wouldn't be a long story and so chose to add it on to this one instead. Which is better really because this isn't really an ending at all. Anyway, up until now everything I have written has been penned down first then typed up and added to. I have yet to write anymore in pen so I can't say for sure when I will next update. Hopefully it wont be to long, but we'll see. thanks for reading :)
