Welcome back to the Mortal Kombat intros. After the madness of the finishing moves for the last two updates, I think it's time we calm down a bit before we go into the end of the story. And thankfully, thanks to my old friend Yami Null, I have just the thing. You see, at some point during the development of this story, I forget exactly when, Yami asked if I could do a chapter featuring his character Belial Aether, seeing as he's had him interact with Mortal Kombat kombatants before, using their MKX counterparts. So I decided why the heck not? Though to avoid this being a ridiculously long chapter, I decided to limit the first half to only characters that did not appear in MKX, seeing as it's mostly repetition of what he already did, and only one intro since there's at least 20 characters difference between the games. Hope this works, Yami. So let's not waste any more time. Here we go.
Skarlet: Anubite blood is a delicacy I have yet to savor.
Belial Aether: And you won't get it today, sanguinare.
Skarlet: We shall see, son of Anubis.
Belial Aether: It's an honor to finally face the real you, Jade.
Jade: From what I understand of your world, the honor is all mine.
Belial Aether: Then let's cut the nonsense and get fighting.
Baraka: Nay Aka Ratakka Tahar Kombat
Belial Aether: Guessing that's a proposal for kombat.
Baraka: Then you understand enough.
Belial Aether: Quan Chi's monstrosity.
Noob Saibot: I was his greatest work...
Belial Aether: More like his greatest abomination.
Frost: Surely you respect someone as powerful as me.
Belial Aether: Respect is something earned, and you haven't.
Frost: Then I'll make you.
Belial Aether: Still slumming around with Kano?
Kabal: Not since he put me in an iron lung.
Belial Aether: Not sure Shang Tsung is better company.
Shao Kahn: You will serve in my armies, Anubite.
Belial Aether: I overthrow dictators, not serve them.
Shao Kahn: Then you'll just be another corpse in my trail of death.
Belial Aether: If you're looking me over, I have a girlfriend.
Kollector: Parts of you are valuable, Anubite.
Belial Aether: So you're one of those weirdos.
Cetrion: You too command the power of souls.
Belial Aether: I'm not replacing Shinnok, if that's what you're after.
Cetrion: If Kronika wills it, then you will.
Belial Aether: You say you knew my parents?
Geras: In another lifetime, I facilitated their union.
Belial Aether: Funny, because Father never mentioned a golem officiant.
Shang Tsung: I will not have a rival in soul magic.
Belial Aether: I'm not here to rival you. I'm here to put you down, sorcerer.
Shang Tsung: I will have you soul before you can even try.
Belial Aether: So you're the Great Spirit's newest Nightwolf
Nightwolf: How do you know the Great Spirit?
Belial Aether: I learned a lot from her during my travels with the BPRD
Fujin: Your father has told me much about you, Belial.
Belial Aether: I can only hope it was good things.
Fujin: Know that your father is proud of who you've become.
Belial Aether: Queen of the Shokan.
Sheeva: Son of Anubis.
Belial Aether: Let this kombat bring honor to us both.
Rain: You have everything I ever wanted, yet you give it up?
Belial Aether: I'm not a god meant to rule, I'm a warrior fighting for the people.
Rain: Such a waste of divinity.
Belial Aether: Wait, you're telling me you killed Jerrod?
Sindel: And traded a weak husband for a strong one.
Belial Aether: What the hell happened to you, Sindel?
Joker: Hey! I remember you from the war!
Belial Aether: How many times am I going to have to kill you, clown?!
Joker: You can't kill good comedy.
Belial Aether: What kind of automaton are you?
Terminator: T-800 Cyberdyne Systems, Model 101
Belial Aether: A Terminator? Here?!
Spawn: I've actually met your pops.
Belial Aether: Father has talked with much interest about you, Al Simmons.
Spawn: If he's looking to recruit me, tell him to fuck off.
Belial Aether: I sense your soul is trapped, Alex Murphy.
Robocop: OCP's Directives have it trapped in loop holes.
Belial Aether: Then I will end your suffering.
Rambo: You look like you've seen a lot, son.
Belial Aether: Far worse than anything you could imagine, soldier.
Rambo: Trust me, I'm not the guy you want to be swapping war stories with.
