Love & War

The battle of Armageddon ended with Shao Kahn's victory, which introduces us to the alternate timeline with MK9. This is where the story begins. Chris returns, but now as a participant. There will be sex involved like my last story so you've been warned. ;)

Chapter 35: In The Heavens

Raiden traveled to the heavens to speak with the Elder Gods.

"Elder Gods, I beseech you. Earthrealm is in danger."

There are 6 Elder Gods, all of varying genders, towering over Raiden in spirit form, speaking all together.

""We are aware of your plight, Raiden.

"Then you must intervene on Earthrealm's behalf!"

"We cannot."

"But Shao Kahn... one of my Earthrealm warriors defeated him once, yet he still..."

Shao Kahn has not violated the rules of Mortal Kombat."

"What? He invades Earthrealm as we speak!"

"Invasion is not itself a transgression. It is the merger of the realms that is proscribed."

"A distinction without a difference! Innocents are dying at the hands of Outworld!"

"It is regrettable, but the Mortal Kombat tournaments are not intended to prevent certain outcomes. They are intended only to maintain balance among the realms

"Please... you must..."

"We have spoken!"

The Elder Gods disappear, leaving Raiden alone.

"The last doors are closing. We are merely trapped."
