A:N -I DO NOT OWN 'Mortal Kombat', PLEASE SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL/ORGINAL RELEASE.
Out beyond any continent for miles of open water, on the border between two realms, sits an island isolated with mountains tall and rich flora next to the beach below.
Built amongst these mountains of the island, is a large palace of Asian origin, it's structure was pristine and rustic against the rocky terrain surrounding it. Within this palace, it's interior shared the same feel, with art and artefacts strewn around the rooms and hallways, walking through one hallway is the sorcerer of the island, Shang Tsung.
He passes by several rooms, coming up to one near the end of the hall, where a muffled feminine voice could be hear as he got closer, the voice now evidently cries in ecstasy as he stands before said door, Shang looks down at his feet to see a palace guard's polearm on the carpet floor, he looks back at the door once again to hear the voice crying out one last time before silence coated the immediate area.
He could only roll his eyes, evidently having been used to this happening for a while now.
He places a hand on the door, sliding it open to be greeted with the sight of a 23-year old woman with dark hair lying under the bed sheets, next to her is an equally naked guard.
"(Clears throat) Daughter?"
"Hm? Oh! Father, how are you?"
"I'm fine, but now, I know why it can be hard to find good help"
"Whatever do you mean?"
Her father looks to base of the bed and raises his palm towards the two seemingly lifeless bodies that lie atop each other on the floor.
"Care to explain?"
She looks to him with only a smirk, she knew, he knew, that she knew, why he already knows about how two bodies are currently lying in front of the bed. looking down at the guard next to her, she grabs his short hair, making him looking into her eyes, fear within his eyes.
"W-w-what's wrong lady, Li. Did I-?"
"No, no. You were fine, in fact, better than the first two"
"Then why-?"
"Because… (Pulls him closer) I think my father deserves an explanation... Wouldn't you agree?"
"(Shivers) W-What?"
Li, with narrowed eyes and a sultry grin, pulls the guard into a kiss, said guard melts into the kiss, moments pass with Li moving on top as they keep kissing, not stopping for air...
Shang Tsung watches this unfold, he notices the guard resting his had onto his daughter's shaped ass, starting to squeeze tighter, and tighter, and tighter, making her moan into the kiss while he opens his eyes in shock, letting go, he tries pushing Li off, but was fruitless as she holds him down with his arms above his head, pressing her lips harder onto his.
"(Muffled confused screaming)"
"(Muffled malicious chuckle)"
Li then raises her head from the guard's lips, pulling out a yellow ghostly essence which began absorbing into her body, the guard now screaming and thrashing underneath her.
"Heh-heh! OH-HA-HA-HA-HAAA! Your. chi. IS. MIIINE!"
"AH! AH! NOOO! PLEEEAAAA-UuuuaRRRGHHHH!-(Gurgles)"
The woman fully absorbs his chi, sighing in pleasure once the feeling of power rolls over like a wave, looking below her, the guard was still. His skin had a grey hue with his eyes wide, his breathing shallow and weak, signifying he was still alive... Albeit physically.
The woman hears clapping and turns to see's her father slowly doing so, she gets off of the guard's body, now sitting on the edge of the bed, holding an arm across her plump breasts while crossing over her legs.
"(Rolls eyes) Enough with the sarcasm, Father. I didn't mean to steal your line"
"No, no, you have certainly improved in harnessing your powers. But you can continue to... (Looks at corpses) 'Practice' after outworld has won the tournament. I would like it if the staff could prepare without any distractions"
"Mouh (Pouts). And what will I do, follow you around the palace like before"
"No (Chuckles). I've decided you will travel to the mainland, until it is time"
…Usually, from what she's heard from the others on the island, when ever her father said something about granting anybody ANYTHING, there was usually an ulterior motive.
"Whyyy? Isn't the tournament upon us?"
"Why not? While yes the tournament is soon, we still have a week so why rush (Shrug). There's no doubt that you must be tired of wandering the island, besides. Eventually all children must leave their nest"
Li looks at her father with an sceptical eyebrow raised, it's true, she was tired of wandering and training most days... She had grown up on the island practically her whole life, only heading to outworld once or twice with her father to meet the emperor.
"...Hmmm... I accept your offer, Father. When shall I leave?"
"Tonight, if you wish"
"THAT will do"
"Excellent. meet me down by the dock when you're ready, I'll have somebody come to clean your 'mess' after you leave"
Shang Tsung leaves as his daughter rolls her eyes, grabbing her robe hanging off the bed head.
_
Hours soon pass by, the sky above the island now glows orange, mirrored by the calm surrounding waters.
A boat floats in place beside a dock leading onto the island, on said dock, are Shang Tsung along with Li who's changed into a ruby, Asian style, dress with a pair of heels and elbow-length gloves, while having tied her hair into a bun. A servant walk past them and onto the ship carrying a couple of suitcases.
"Well then... I'll see you in a week, father"
"Of course and please, do be careful. The mainland is not as safe, as one who has lived on a island their entire life, might imagine"
"(Rolls her eyes) Obviously. Father, I'm twenty three, I can defend myself AND drain anyone who dares mess with me"
"I know you can, my sweet Li"
He wraps his arms around her as she does the same, they then let go and Li walks up the ramp, onto the ship, the crew onboard lift up said ramp and let loose the sails, allowing the wind to hook on, pulling the vessel away.
Li leans over the railing and waves back to her father, who waves back until the ship was far enough out of sight, the smile on his face fades...
_
Back inside the halls, the sorcerer strides through, passing several servants and guards who greet him until he reaches his study, once inside he locks the door behind him, instantaneously, releases the window curtains with a wave of his hand, shrouding the room in darkness...
A green shine then illuminates the room.
Shang Tsung turns to this light, floating before him is a flame that formed a portal, he bathes in it's light before face appears wearing a sharp samurai-esq helmet with a skull mask covering their face, the sorcerer bows.
"My emperor"
"Speak sorcerer! Is the plan proceeding as you say?"
"(Raises head) Of course. My daughter is training as we speak, her power has grown significantly and I assure you, she will be ready for the tournament"
"(Grins) Eee~xcellent... You better hope all goes well, Shang Tsung. If this turns out to be a colossal waste of time, then sucking souls won't be able to save you from what I plan to do.."
The green portal fizzles out, leaving the room in darkness once more, Shang Tsung stands there, he turns to the portrait with the painting of a woman, wielding a double bladed khopesh while wearing a purple ninja outfit barley covered her body, with a purple mask contrasting against her wavy black hair.
He lowers his head from the gaze of the painting, ashamed... He walks over to the door and leaves the study, still entrenched with darkness.
