Chapter 2 the fate of earth realm
Sean was walking towards where the next match would begin when he stopped and smirked.
"You can come out now I know you've been following me since my talk with Scorpion." Sean said as Raiden appeared.
"Impressive any ordinary warrior would never been able to detect me not even Liu Kang." Raiden said.
"Well I'm just that good. I assume you have questions as to where I come from like last time?" Sean said leaning on the wall.
"Yes. You said you and your friends were the last of your kind from your realm yet you have not said where that is." Raiden said.
"Well its one you should be familiar with since you've been there once at least." Sean said confusing him. "My friends and I are all that remain of new genesis the realm of new gods." Sean said shocking him.
"Impossible your realm has been..." Raiden tried to say.
"Cut off from the others due to the aftermath of Shinnoks invasion of Earth realm effecting my people. You warned us that if we continued to fight one another it would result in our destruction. In a way you were correct but not in the way you were thinking. After generations of fighting one another things were finally looking up for a change the constant blood shed in our realm was finally coming to an end." Sean said.
"But something changed." Raiden said.
"Yeah we faced a new enemy that we were not ready for due to our resources and manpower tapped out. This new enemy wagged war on us for three years and in the end all was lost. New Genesis is nothing more but a pile of ash and glass. The four of us along with what was left of our people decided to leave New Genesis and travel to the other realms but they caught onto our plan and tried to stop us. Of the 100 remaining survivors that day when we tried to leave only the four of us made it here." Sean said.
"And what of this new enemy what makes you think they will not invade Earth realm?" Raiden asked in concern.
"The portal we used involved a mix of science and magic and these beings have no magic in them so I wouldn't worry to much about them coming here since its highly unlikely that will happen." Sean said.
"These beings what are they?" Raiden asked before the next fight was about to begin.
"I'd rather not talk about it." Sean said as Scorpion went up against Cyrax and Sektor due to their insults of his clan and won his fight.
"I will have my revenge but I will not kill Sub-Zero." Scorpion said.
"Seem you might have gotten through to him." Raiden said.
"To soon to tell in my view." Sean said.
"Will not? Or Cannot?" Sub-Zero challenged.
"Oh fuck." Sean said.
"You!" Scorpion said in anger. "The Shirai Ryu are dead. You will suffer as they did." Scorpion said.
"To hell with your clan." Sub-Zero said.
"No...To Hell with you!" Scorpion said grabbing him and vanished.
"Oh lord this not going to end well." Sean said.
A few moments passed before Scorpion reappeared looking conflicted which confused a few of the others before he pulled up the skull that was once the head of Sub-Zero.
"Damnit." Sean said before Scorpion dropped the skull making it shatter.
"AHHHHHHH!" Scorpion yelled before he vanished again. The other minus Sean Raiden and Cyrax left the room.
"Despite your efforts my vision has come to pass." Raiden said.
"Its to bad about him I heard he once defended Earth Realm from Shinnok and Quan Chi." Sean said.
"Scorpion will pay for this." Cyrax said.
"His death was his own doing?" Sean said.
"His own Doing?" Cyrax asked angered.
"Your clan has a history of making costly choices." Sean said before Cyrax walked away. "Such as the Cyber Initiative." Sean said making him stop.
"How did...?" Cyrax tried to ask.
"I did my research on your clan." Sean said before Cyrax sighed.
"I am among those speaking out against the Grand Masters plan. Surgically transform the Lin Kuei into glorified robots? It kills our intuition our instincts." Cyrax said.
"Did you speak out against the Lin Kuei's participation in this tournament?" Raiden asked.
"We were invited by Shang Tsung." Cyrax said.
"He pays you to kill Earth Realm warriors. Betraying your own realm I expect better even from an Assassin." Raiden said.
"My loyalty is to the Grandmaster." Cyrax said.
"If that were true you would not speak out against his plan. If I were you I would leave the Lin Kuei before your forced to become something you don't want to be." Sean said as Cyrax left.
Later
Cyrax and Sektor left the tournament after a few incidents with Cyrax leaving the Lin Kuei to avoid becoming a Cyborg.
Now though the next match would begin with Liu Kang as the left fighter from Earth Realm.
"Kombatants. I present this latest creation of Shao Kahn." Shang Tsung said as a man in black clothing walked in and has green glowing eyes. "He is many warriors, their souls fused into one being. Behold...Ermac." Shang Tsung said as Ermac displayed his powers.
"This should be interesting." Reznov said.
"Be wary, Liu Kang. He is unlike anything you have fought before." Raiden said to Liu Kang who nods.
"Liu Kang. You are the sole Earth Realm warrior to Progress to this final stage of the tournament." Shang Tsung said as Liu Kang stood across from Ermac.
"I am ready." Liu Kang said.
"We are many. You are one. We will destroy you." Ermac said.
Skip fight
"Earth Realm will not fall into your master's hands." Liu Kang said as he stood victorious. The others soon left and waited till the next match.
"I feel like testing my strength against this guy. I'll make sure he does not progress any further." Mara said following Liu Kang.
"She doesn't stand a chance." Sean said.
"You don't have much faith in her." Kitana said.
"Don't get me wrong I have a lot of faith in her abilities but she's more of a weapons designer then a fighter like us." Sean said since she was the reason the four of them escaped new Genesis in the first place.
Later
"So Liu Kang is still standing how did it go?" Sean asked amused before she tried to punch him but he dodged and she ended up punching Reptile.
"Ow!" Reptile yelled and glared at her.
"Oops sorry that wasn't meant for you." Mara said sheepishly.
"If I didn't know any better I say you were distracted by something else. Hmm I wonder what that could be? Could it be...?" Reznov tried to say before Mara punched him in the face shutting him up.
"Shut the fuck up." Mara said dangerously making the others chuckle at the amusing display.
"Ok lets get back to the match." Sean said having a guess as to what was bugging Mara.
"Kombatants. Only one Earth Realm warrior remains. The Shaolin Liu Kang. Is he ready to bear such a heavy burden? Earth Realm's fate is in his hands. Your opponent will be Scorpion and Quan Chi." Shang Tsung said as the two entered the arena.
"Hardly seems like a fair fight." Julia said.
"Not everything is fair in the tournament Julia." Sean said.
"Sean is correct wherever you four are from we do things differently here." Shang Tsung said.
"You have already Lost." Scorpion said.
Skip fight
"As I said I do not fear you I pity you." Liu Kang said.
"Now all that remains are Goro and if he beats him then you." Reznov said.
"Indeed. To the lair with you." Shang Tsung said as Liu Kang was sucked up into a portal and vanished.
Later
Everyone waited for the victor of the match in the throne room of the palace when Liu Kang appeared.
"Damn I didn't think anyone other then Kruger could take down four arms." Reznov said impressed.
"Shang Tsung! Only one fight remains! Face me...in Mortal Kombat!" Liu Kang challenged
"So be it." Shang Tsung said.
Skip fight
"Say it." Liu Kang said as he stood victorious.
"I concede." Shang Tsung said making the Earth Realm warriors cheer for their victory.
"He has saved Earth Realm." Raiden said before a bright light engulfed the room signaling the end of the tournament. Sean helped Shang Tsung up as the walked to the portal to Outworld. Mara before entering the portal looked back at Liu Kang for a few seconds before smiling at him as she left with the others.
"So what now?" Sean asked.
"Shao Kahn will not be pleased when he learns that we have failed in the tournament. My death may be at hand." Shang Tsung said.
"How do these Tournaments work?" Julia asked.
"They are held every generation and if we had won this one like the last nine times we would have been allowed to merge Earth Realm with Outworld but since we lost that is not possible." Shang Tsung said.
"Then how about a new one here in outworld to replace the current system of ten?" Sean said.
"A bold claim boy." A deep male voice said and Sean and his friends turned around and saw a huge man they assumed with Shao Kahn.
"My lord he does bring a valid point and an idea that may benefit us in the long run." Shang Tsung said.
"Indeed. Tell me what do you believe should be the terms of this new tournament Shang Tsung?" Shao Kahn asked.
"If we win you can merge Earth Realm with Outworld but if we lose we give up our claim to it forever." Shang Tsung said.
"Better that then nothing." Sean said trying to encourage the emperor to agree to this.
"Hmm very well you may begin your preparations for this new tournament. Boy come with me. Quan Chi described your powers and abilities to me while you were still in Earth Realm I wish to see them myself." Shao Kahn said.
"Very well." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"You have done well Liu Kang." Raiden said to Liu Kang.
"Thank you Lord Raiden I..." Liu Kang tried to say but suddenly a portal opened in the center of the temple before a body was dropped.
"OW!" The person who fell through the portal yelled in pain. The person was a boy who looked to be at least 13 years old dressed in black combat pants and a brown trench coat with a grey hood on it. He had brown hair white skin and dark blue eyes before he passed out.
"What in the world?" Jax said picking him up. "Damn." Jax said seeing the various injuries on the kid.
"You think he's from New Genesis?" Sonya asked.
"More then likely." Raiden said.
"He has a similar chi around him as the others but his is somewhat similar to Sean's." Liu Kang said sensing the boys chi.
"So what he's like his brother or something?" Johnny asked.
"Possibly but in his current condition we will not know till he awakens." Raiden said.
"What is New Genesis anyway?" Johnny asked.
"New Genesis is the realm of new gods. They are the direct bloodline of the Elder gods including Shinnok. When Shinnok tried to conquer Earth Realm his bloodline in New Genesis became cruel and merciless towards their fellow new gods that were not of the same bloodline. New Genesis is almost exactly like Earth Realm in all but power. Everything in Earth Realm from nations to empires is the same for them." Raiden said.
"So basically its like a second version of Earth Realm only more advanced in abilities." Jax said.
"And their technology is far more advanced then Earth Realms by thousands of years. I warned them however if they continued to fight one another they would end up destroying themselves." Raiden said.
"Which I'm assuming did happen?" Johnny said.
"Sean seems to see it that way he said New Genesis was nothing but ash and glass. Whatever occurred there he would not say other then they faced a new enemy that overmatched and overpowered them." Raiden said.
"Well when the kid wakes up maybe he can tell us." Jax said.
Authors note: And the second chapter is up. Anyway next chapter a few interesting developments occur. Also for those here who are not yet aware I put up a poll for what my loyal fans want me to write about next in stories. You can pick 15 out of the 30 and the top five win. Also if I decide to add Street fighter characters I will add the female characters to the harem. See ya.
