The situation in the Boiling Isles has gotten out of control. There were hostile demons from another realm everywhere and nobody could do anything. Forcing the entire boiling isles to hide in houses the emperor's castle, and anyone who didn't would die. Emperor Belos had no choice but to do something he hasn't done in forever. Belos had to leave his castle to handle the problem himself. While leaving, he came across two humans whom he defeated, but escaped from him.
"Emperor where do you think all these monsters are coming from," an emperor's coven member said.
"I don't know, the titan has spoken to me before about other realms existing. So is it possible these demons are from another realm, Steve?" Belos wondered.
"If that's the case, how did they get here the portal to the human world is still not finished," Steve said.
"I have no idea, I must speak with the titan he will provide me answers," Belos said.
"I am hungry Drahmin we need to get some food," Moloch said.
"Those people over there will work well," Drahmin said.
"Emperor you may want to see this," Steve said.
"Not another one let me take care of this," Belos said.
"What are you supposed to be some kind of bird human hybrid?" Drahmin said, to which Moloch responded while bumping Drahmin "Good one Drahmin."
"You dare not underestimate me, I am the Emperor of these isles," Belos said.
"Well, you're not our emperor," Drahmin said.
"We will cripple you and the skin you while you are alive and then eat it," Moloch said.
"That's disgusting," Steve said.
"I warned you not to underestimate me," Belos said.
Belos then used his staff to summon a massive rock arm restraining Moloch in the place. Drahmin tried to attack with his club, but Belos teleported out of the way. He then used his staff to telekinetically throw Drahmin away. Moloch broke out of Belos's hand and threw his wrecking ball at Belos. Belos saw it coming and deflected It back at Moloch knocking him to the ground.
By this point Drahmin had gotten back and again attempted to just mindlessly rush and Belos and hit him. Belos dodged every swing and counterattacked with an ice spell. Drahmin blocked it well enough, as he didn't go that far back. He attempted to smash Belos with his club who kept dodging or blocking them all. Moloch got back up and also started to attack Belos so Belos had to deal with the two attacking from both sides. Despite these massive disadvantages, Belos dodged Drahmin and Moloch whenever they attacked. At one point both attacked at once forcing Belos to again teleport back to the side.
Belos was done playing so he used his staff to summon two massive worm-like monsters. Drahmin and Moloch were not scared and attacked them with their weapons. The weapons did not affect the monsters, however. So Drahmin and Moloch knew they lost tried to run away from the fight. Belos wasn't having any of that so teleported close to them and summoned two massive spikes with his staff. The spikes impaled them in the chest, killing Drahmin and Moloch.
"They're dead emperor," Steve said.
"They will no longer taint the Boiling Isles with their presence," Belos said. He then used his staff to cast another spell to make Drahmin and Moloch's bodies disintegrate.
"I have never seen any demons like them before," Steve said.
"I must consult with the titan he will guide our path," Belos said.
While Belos was consulting the titan Steve looked around for any more demons that may come. Belos kept talking to the titan who revealed information to Belos which shocked him. Belos was so surprised he fell to the ground.
"Emperor, what did the titan tell you?" Steve asked.
"I have never gotten a message like this before. According to the titan, these creatures are from two different realms. The realms are Outworld and the Netherrealm," Belos answered.
"Other realms like the human world, if it's different realms, then why did we encounter new humans. The portal is destroyed and you said these creatures a coming from different realms?" Steve asked.
"I have no idea the titan did not answer that, but he did tell me another thing," Belos said.
"What is it?" Steve asked.
"There is going to be a big battle coming out we need to recruit some allies if my plans are to continue," Belos responded.
"You mean your plans to merge are realm with," Steve said. Before he could finish Belos interrupted with, "don't say it out loud you don't know who overheard that."
"Sorry emperor," Steve said.
"Don't do it again," Belos said in a threatening tone making Steve nervous.
"How will we recruit any allies from these realms if everyone immediately attacks us?" Steve asked.
"Fresh meat," Someone said in the distance.
Belos looked over at who said that, and he saw something hideous that he had never seen before. It was a thing it was completely green with long teeth and a reptilian appearance. It was Reptile but Belos did not know that.
"We don't want to fight you we want to ally with you," Belos said taking the titan's words under advice.
"I serve Shao Kahn not you," Reptile said.
"This is hopeless," Steve commented annoyed.
Reptile spits some acid out of his mouth hitting Belos with it. The acid burned through some of his cloak, but Belos wasn't too affected by it. Belos knew an alliance with this thing wouldn't work so he started attacking. Reptile kept spitting acid at Belos, but after a while, they did nothing as Belos destroyed them with his fire.
Reptile turned invisible Belos thought he was using some sort of illusion magic. Belos used his counter spell to that, but it didn't work since it wasn't illusion magic. Reptile kicked Belos from behind, knocking him to the ground. Steve had noticed this, however, and summoned an ice wall to hit Reptile with knocking him to the ground as well.
Belos got up before Reptile and ran over towards but by the time he got there Reptile was already gone. He still thought he was using some sort of illusion magic. So Belos casted a counterspell to find Reptile, but after a few minutes of trying this, he had no luck.
"Emperor I think he is gone," Steve said.
"No matter, we will find different creatures to ally with," Belos responded.
Belos and Steve kept looking around the Boiling Isles fighting off demons. Though none even considered the offer of an alliance. Belos was ready to give up until they saw someone lying on the ground. He had a mask on with horns coming out of it a red cape as well as a skull on his belt and a hammer lying next to him. The man was Emperor Shao Kahn Belos didn't know that, however.
"Who are you," Belos shouted.
The man was on the ground what looked in extreme pain and struggling to get up. He got up and took one look at Belos and whispered to himself "Earthrealmer."
"What," Belos said in response confused and also surprised. That was the second time he heard Earthrealm used only the titan every called the human world that.
Shao Kahn started rushing at Belos with his hammer though struggling to move. Shao Kahn tried smashing Belos with his hammer, but he was so injured from his fight with Liu Kang he was struggling to use it. Belos took this slow action as an opportunity and casted a fire spell knocking Shao Kahn back a bit. Shao Kahn continued to try and hit Belos with his hammer but was not even able to get close to him due to his damaged body. Shao Kahn collapsed from exhaustion, not being able to handle another fight.
"I don't want us to fight I need allies," Belos said.
"Not interested," Shao Kahn responded.
Belos thinking this partnership wouldn't work went to finish Shao Kahn. He casted several powerful spells at Shao Kahn but none of them were finishing him off.
"You can't kill me," Shao Kahn said.
"What are going to do then Emperor?" Steve asked.
"Emperor," Shao Kahn said, mumbling under his breath, surprised to hear that. As someone had talked to him about the Emperor of the Boiling Isles. "Wait, stop. I changed my mind, I will ally with you Emperor Belos," Shao Kahn said to Belos.
"You know who I am," Belos said.
"Reptile mentioned you he talked about how you want to merge with Earthrealm," Shao Kahn said.
"You mean the human world," Belos said.
"That's what it is called around here?" Shao Kahn said.
"Let's pause for a bit who are you?" Belos asked
"I am Shao Kahn Emperor of Outworld"
"Another Emperor, from Outworld. The titan mentioned that everyone in Outworld was transported here," Belos said.
"Yeah, I was inside my castle when I was teleported to this place. And none of my magic will get me out of here," Shao Kahn said.
"I have a portal that can transport you to what you call Earthrealm,"
"You are badly beat up let's go to my castle my healers will tend to your wounds," Belos said. The three then started walking back to the Belos's castle. While they were heading there someone shouted, "Shao Kahn help me." Shao Kahn looked over to see that it was Kano handcuffed to a tree.
"How did you manage to get yourself in this mess Kano?" Shao Kahn said before punching him in the face for this. Shao Kahn knew that he needed Kano's help, however, so he used his hammer to smash the handcuffs.
"You took quite the beating mate," Kano said.
"Don't even think about saying that," Shao Kahn said in a threatening tone.
"Who is this guy Shao Kahn?" Belos asked.
"Kano leader of the black dragon currently working for me. Also, somehow managed to get himself handcuffed to a tree," Shao Kahn answered.
"Sonya beat me up almost killed me though decided to handcuff me to this tree," Kano said.
"Sonya, I encountered someone named that as well," Belos said.
"We better watch out for her," Kano said.
"We better get going to my castle we will start our plans there," Belos said.
"I will get it open," Steve said. After that, the four then started heading inside the castle.
While they were walking Belos asked, "What happened to Reptile anyway?"
"I don't know he ran off after giving me his information," Shao Kahn responded.
