Chapter 5 The battle
"Raiden we've got a problem." Turok said walking into one of the temples at the Shaolin academy.
"Shao Kahn is preparing to invade Earth Realm yes I know. I received another vision of the invasion." Raiden said.
"We're going to need some backup with us in this fight. Thankfully New Genesis before the war with the machines kept tabs on some of the most skilled fighters in the Realms. In this Case I know where to find a few of Earth Realms warriors that can help us." Sean said showing a list of names of people who could help them in the upcoming invasion against Outworld.
"Damn thats a lot of people." Jax said impressed.
"I know some of these people like Gulie and Crimson Viper both work for the government." Sonya said.
"I can get those like Chun Li Cammy Ryo Rose Poison Rainbow Mika and Laura here within hours the tricky one however though will be Juri since she's well..." Turok tried to say.
"Crazy?" Johnny said.
"Something like that." Turok said with a sweat drop on his forehead. "The main question is..." Turok tried to say before a portal opened. "The hell?" Turok said getting an assault riffle out before a few people came through though not like Turok and his brother did when they arrived.
"Ok that was weird." A male voice said one that Turok recognized.
"Forge?" Turok said approaching Forge and the group of people.
"Hey kid long time no see." Forge said.
"More survivors from New Genesis?" Sonya asked.
"Yeah we heard about a portal to escape the realm and here we are. Names Sargent Forge." Forge said introducing himself.
"Names Sargent Buck ODST." Buck said in special military armor.
"Sargent Major Johnson." Johnson said.
"So whats going on here? You look like you guys are about to go to war." Forge said.
"In a way we kinda are against Outworld. Shao Kahn will be invading Earth Realm soon. Since the three of you are here this might even the odds." Turok said.
"Well How can we help?" Forge asked.
Meanwhile
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Sean said in disbelief as he looked at the scanner he built to monitor portal activity.
"What is it?" Sheeva asked.
"Another portal opened from New Genesis to Earth Realm. How are they getting through?" Sean asked looking through the system.
"Perhaps the machines think there is nothing left to search for and your people are arriving at the portal you built." Quan Chi said.
"Unlikely. Even if they eradicated all life in New Genesis they would still function just fine and look for more survivors. We need to get this done fast so once we're done with the invasion of Earth Realm we can head to New Genesis and free my Realm fast." Sean said.
"We will in time. But for now we have orders." Sheeva said.
"Yeah I know. I'll head to my objective location and see what I can find." Sean said.
Later
"Incoming! Incoming!" A soldier yelled as they avoided a rocket. The Invasion of Earth Realm had begun hours ago.
Mileena observed the destruction of the city she was in from a bridge while holding a jeweled neckless Sean had given to her that at one point belonged to his mother before she died in the war against the machines.
"Hmm Such a shame he is not here to watch with me." Mileena said.
"Waiting for someone sharp teeth?" Turok said approaching her making her face him and widened her eyes seeing the same boy her father killed was still alive walking about like nothing happened.
"You? How are you still alive?" Mileena asked in shock and confusion since a Snapped neck was instant death.
"Face me and...Hey wait why are you wearing that neckless?" Turok asked confused since that belonged to his adoptive mother.
"Oh this pretty thing? My lover gave it to me to show how much I mean to him." Mileena said making Turok sweat drop.
"Oy my brother always did have a strange taste in women." Turok said making her blink.
"Your brother?" Mileena said before he removed his hood and face mask making her eyes widen seeing his face. She recognized it from an old photo Sean showed her. Before Turok could react she was right in front of him and.^^
"OW!" Turok yelled as she pinched and pulled his cheeks. "What the hell are you doing!" Turok yelled in annoyance before getting out of her pinching grasp making her giggle.
"Sorry couldn't help it since you look much cutter then in the photo." Mileena said.
"Oy. I told him how much I hated that thing. So what makes you so special that he would give you moms family heirloom?" Turok asked while rubbing his pinched cheeks in a annoyance.
"He said its not my looks more my body but for me accepting for who I am that makes me special to him and I am not the only one he cares about as he does for me." Mileena said.
"And he's gone playboy. Figures he never had time for it during the fight against Shinnoks bloodline or the machines but now I see why Forge and the others called him a ladies man." Turok said.
"Hey what are you two doing out here?" A man asked known as Striker. Mileena looked to him then back to Turok.
"Stay here." Mileena said walking to striker before she pulled down her mask making Striker and his partner Kabal jump back in surprise. "Looking for a new Playmate." Mileena said intimidating them.
"Yeah I'm going to sit this one out." Kabal said.
Meanwhile
Sean was looking through the city till he entered a room that had what he was looking for which would be a map of the city to find a graveyard.
"Hey Quan Chi I found it." Sean said on the comms.
"Very good. Bring me the map so I can prepare for the spell." Quan Chi said.
"On it. Have you heard from Reznov or Julia yet?" Sean asked as he exited the building.
"No but they last told Sheeva they were up against Liu Kang and Kung Lao." Quan Chi said.
"Hopefully those two can win." Sean said before vanishing.
Back with Turok
"Your coming with me." Striker said to the downed Mileena before a dragon flew over them giving Mileena a chance to strike him but was zapped by Lightning courtesy of Raiden.
"Bout time were have you been?" Turok asked.
"Who are you guys?" Striker asked before they heard roars and saw Johnny Cage against a half man half horse or better known as Motaro.
"Ah Great." Turok said jumping over to Johnny and drop kicked Motaro in the face making him roar at him.
"Wait your supposed to be dead." Motaro said before Raiden attacked him.
"Who are these guys?" Kabal asked.
"No idea." Striker asked before Kintaro roared getting their attention. "Spread out give him multiple targets." Striker said which they did but Kintaro breathed fire at Kabal who screamed in pain.
"Humans. Less ugly when they burn." Kintaro said.
"You do realize I can fucking hear you on the comms right?" Sean said annoyed since he was human which made him smirk in amusement.
Skip fight
"Never knew I had it in me." Striker said before rushing to Kabul and radioed for Medevac but Ermac appeared and used his powers to throw him into the subway.
Kintaro soon stood up as did Mileena and she looked for Turok but was saddened that he was nowhere to be found but did see Kabal.
"Take him to Outworld he's an old friend of Kano's." Mileena said to Kintaro.
Later
"A soulNado? Never heard of that before." Sean said to Quan Chi.
"Think of it as a way to increase Shao Kahn's power with each soul absorbed into him." Quan Chi said.
"Ah." Sean said before Mileena and a few Outworld warriors appeared vie Portal carrying the dead body of Motaro.
"What the?" Sean said.
"What is this?" Shao Kahn asked in anger.
"Raiden has killed Motaro." Mileena said.
"It matters not I will go to Earth Realm and finish what Motaro started." Sindel said.
"Very Well. Quan Chi your warrior Scorpion will accompany her." Shao Kahn said.
"Oh course my lord." Quan Chi said.
"Sean I need to talk to you." Mileena said.
"Very well." Sean said as they left.
"Keep an eye on them both." Shao Kahn said to Reptile who looked surprised but did as told and camouflaged and followed them.
"Something wrong my Lord?" Quan Chi asked.
"I am Aware that he asked Shang Tsung to find the body of the boy I killed in the tournament but for what Reason I am unsure." Shao Kahn said.
"Perhaps he believes he was from New Genesis." Quan Chi said.
"Perhaps but I have other suspicions that he is hiding something from me." Shao Kahn said.
Sean and Mileena walked into a hallway before they stopped.
"Alight what is it?" Sean asked.
"The Boy my father killed during the Tournament. I encountered him during the invasion and he recognized this." Mileena said showing the neckless he gave her that belonged to his mother.
Sean sighed before placing his hand on the wall before he tried to say something but couldn't and just growled before smashing the wall with his fist making her jump back in fright.
"DAMNIT!" Sean yelled before calming down. "My little brother was alive this whole time. For a year I thought he was dead after the battle at the bridge." Sean said in anger for not looking for his brother that last thing he had left of his family. "Where was the last place you saw him?" Sean asked needing to know where his brother was at.
Meanwhile
"Damn Turok." Reznov said as he and Julia were set free by Mara. "I had feeling you were still alive after you disappeared." Reznov said rubbing his wrests.
"Well unlike you I know how to blend in with the shadows." Turok said amused making Reznov's left eye twitch in annoyance.
"Fuck off." Reznov said getting a few chuckles from the Earth Realm warriors.
"Reznov we need to know what Shao Kahn is planing." Raiden said.
"I honestly don't know he only told Kruger his plans so you'll have to ask him." Reznov said.
"And what makes you think he'll talk?" Striker asked.
"Indeed." Sindel said above them shocking those that knew her that she was alive from the grave.
"Mother?" Kitana said in shock.
Scorpion looked at Turok for a second.
"How are you still alive boy? Your neck was snapped by Shao Kahn." Scorpion said.
"It matter not." Sindel said before appearing in front of Turok and pushed him into the wall holding him by the neck.
"Mother No!" Kitana said about to stop her but scorpion blocked her and the others.
"I will finish what the Emperor started with you boy." Sindel said about to suck out his soul when.
"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY BROTHER!" An enraged voice yelled smashing a chain into her face making her skid back into another wall hard. The others looked to see who attacked Sindel and saw Sean and Mileena with the former having red flames coming off his body.
"Ow." Turok said holding his neck.
"You little shit." Sean said hitting him upside the head.
"OW! What is it with people hitting me what did I do? Fuck!" Turok yelled annoyed making Sean chuckle.
"Yup its alright no one gets annoyed like you do that easily." Sean said.
"Fuck...You." Turok said before a loud screeching sound was heard. "OW! Fuck what is that?" Turok asked holding his ears.
"You dare to strike the empress?" Sindel said in anger.
"It just a title to me which means nothing." Sean said before charging at her.
Skip fight flawless victory
"Time to end this." Sean said about to deliver what the others thought was the finishing blow.
"Sean stop you don't need to kill her." Kitana said getting in front of him making him stop and look at her for a second putting the others on edge before the flames on his body vanished making the others sigh in relief.
"I wasn't going to kill her to begin with rather just fixing a problem I caused." Sean said as Sindel's body was engulfed in white flames before she groaned in slight pain and discomfort before the flames vanished. Sindel soon opened her eyes and looked around before spotting Kitana.
"Kitana?" Sindel said confused.
"Yes Mother its me." Kitana said happy to see her mother back to normal.
"Wait I'm confused wasn't she just trying to kill us?" Johnny asked.
"Quan Chi put her under a spell that would make her more cooperative to Shao Kahn's suggestions and be like him but thats no longer an issue." Sean said.
"So you will help us now against Shao Kahn?" Liu Kang asked.
"I was never with him in the first place. Secretly I've managed to gain his most trusted allies to my side once I explained to them that he would cause Armageddon in the realms minus New Genesis and thats something even they do not want." Sean said.
"Told you my brother had a plan." Turok said making Sean smirk.
"Oh uh Turok by the way..." Sean said before looking to Mileena who nods and.^^
"OOOOOWWWW!" Turok yelled as Mileena pinched his cheeks...Again! "Fuck you! Fuck You! FUCK YOU!" Turok yelled in annoyance and pain before getting out of her grip. Sean burst out laughing. "You fucks!" Turoks yelled.
"Oooh I so wanted to see that after Mileena brought it up." Sean said between laughs while the others looked on amused and chuckled at the display.
"You're an asshole man." Turok said annoyed but you could still see the small smile on his face. "Now lets get this over with since once we take down Shao Kahn Raiden can convince the Elder Gods to eradicate most of the machines in New Genesis then we go back and take out the rest of them with forces from Earth Realm and Outworld." Turok said.
"Not yet. We need to let him merge Earth Realm with Outworld first. Once he starts that then the Elder gods will have to intervene and kill him." Sean said. "Look Mileena and I have to get back." Sean said.
"What about Scorpion?" Julia asked before seeing he was knocked out.
"He's on our side so don't worry." Sean said before he and Mileena vanished.
Later
"She was what!" Shao Kahn roared.
"Apparently Reznov and Julia have turned on us all. They just don't have the heart to do whats needed for survival. They used their powers to free her from your control. However it is of little consequence. Earth Realm will soon be merged with Outworld." Sean said calming Shao Kahn down when he said that.
"Indeed. It is time to end this. We go to Earth Realm now." Shao Kahn said making his way to a portal.
"Everything in place?" Sean asked Baraka.
"Yes the troops have been given the order to pull back once Shao Kahn arrives. However like you said Mileena is not yet ready for the throne so who will lead Outworld for the time being?" Baraka asked since it was a serious problem.
"I'll tell you all once we get this done and over with. For now lets just get this over with." Sean said as he followed Shao Kahn.
Minutes later
"I hope your brother's plan pulls off." Chun Li said.
"My brother has never once had a bad plan when it comes to living enemies. Machines on the other hand thats another story." Turok said as Shao Kahn soon appeared by portal beginning to merge the realms. Shao Kahn simply laughed at them before spotting Turok and narrowed his eyes.
"You again? I killed you in the tournament." Shao Kahn said.
"Yeah being a new god has its advantages." Turok said as Forge Buck and Johnson aimed their weapons at him.
"Even if you and your kind are gods you are no match for me boy." Shao Kahn said making Turok laugh.
"Its not me you need to worry about. Its my brother who's right behind you and looks pissed." Turok said making Shao Kahn look behind him and frowned seeing Sean glaring at him.
"You? You dare to betray me?" Shao Kahn said in anger making Sean scoff.
"Please you really think I was your pawn to begin with. I've seen what your actions will cause in the near future brining Armageddon to the realms minus mine. However with your death that can all be prevented." Sean said making Shao Kahn growl.
"You think you can take me boy? I am Shao Kahn! Conquerer of worlds the Elder Gods fear me because of my power!" Shao Kahn said.
"How arrogant and foolish you are. Do you really think you'll win here? I said brining Sindel back to life would destroy her barrier that protects Earth Realm so you could invade. I did not say though that you would be able to merge the Realms without the Elder Gods interfering. You let your rage and obsession with power blind you to the Truth." Sean said as orange lightning began to strike around the area while Outworlds warriors began to pull back to Outworld. Soon the Elder Gods appeared in their Dragon like form merging their power with Sean's.
"Insolent Brat!" Shao Kahn said about to Strike him before Sean kicked him back a few feet making him growl.
"You violate our will, Shao Kahn. You merge realms without victory in Mortal Kombat. Our penalty is clear." The Elder Gods said in many voices in Sean's body before blasting Shao Kahn with a fire blast making him crash into a wall making him growl in anger.
"An anemic effort from ineffectual Deities. Today I become the Elder God!" Shao Kahn yelled.
"You have to defeat me first. Lets see if your powerful enough to defeat a New Genesis Spartan infused with power of the Elder Gods." Sean said in his normal voice before getting into fighting position.
Skip fight Flawless victory
Shao Kahn groaned in pain while trying to get back to his feet.
"Such power..." Shao Kahn tried to say while getting to his feet. "Tell me Spartan. Where does your power come from?" Shao Kahn demanded to know.
"Simple cause I have people I care about to die for unlike you. Thats where my power comes from. Not from the Elder Gods or because I'm from New Genesis. But Because I'm not fighting for myself I fight for what I refuse to lose and for what I believe in." Sean said. Shao Kahn just simply laughed before falling to his knees.
"Don't fool yourself you fight for power like me." Shao Kahn said.
"I wont deny I will seek out power whenever I can but I will not misuse it like some fool. I use my power to protect the people I care about no matter if they're from New Genesis Outworld or Earth Realm I will always fight." Sean said.
"Spare me your lectures finish it." Shao Kahn said.
"Oh no not yet. You have one last thing to do before you face punishment." Sean said confusing him.
"And what is that?" Shao Kahn asked.
"The Realm of Edenia. You will undo the merging of Sindel's realm now." Sean said making him scoff.
"Surely you must be joking." Shao Kahn said before he roared in pain as Sean stabbed him in his left arm.
"I...Dont...Joke. NOW!" Sean yelled in his face making him growl before doing so as his hand glowed and undid the merging with Outworld.
"It is done." Shao Kahn said.
"If it is any comfort. I did have a lot of respect for you before all this. I just needed to prevent what your actions would cause in the near future." Sean said.
"Make no mistake on this boy. I am not the only one who has an interest and conquering Earth Realm." Shao Kahn said before he was engulfed in a bright light by the Elder Gods and vanished.
"It is over Earth Realm is free from Shao Kahn forever." Raiden said as he looked at his amulet and saw it was repairing itself.
"Nice speech big brother." Turok said approaching him making Sean smile before putting his arm around his shoulder.
"Well I'm good with words little brother." Sean said.
"So what now?" Raznov asked.
"I'm heading back to Outworld. With Shao Kahn dead and Mileena not yet ready to rule her realm a system will have to be made to keep order in Outworld till she is read." Sean said before approaching Sindel. "I know you two aren't entirely related but..." Sean tried to say.
"You want me to teach her how to be an effective leader?" Sindel said getting him to nod and she had a small smile on her face. "Very well just so long as she does not misuse her power like Shao Kahn has." Sindel said.
"Thank you." Sean said before he and Turok left vie portal while the others left in a burst of lightning.
However in the few moments after they left a blue portal opened and a figure approached what was left of Shao Kahn's helmet. The figure reached out to it reveling a metallic hand covered with small amount of human flesh. The person stood up at least Average height and half of his body was covered with metal enhancements. His physical body had average muscles his right arm was replaced by a full mechanical one. His face covered by a metal mask that showed glowing red eyes like Kano's right eye was seen.
"Your plan worked to perfection Lord Shinnok." The man said in a mechanical voice that showed no emotion. A projection of the once powerful but now Fallen Elder God Shinnok appeared.
"Shao Kahn was blinded by rage. How easily he was convinced that the Elder Gods would ignore his merging of the Realms. However you said your people would never get past the barrier where your creations are eradicating the Elder Gods bloodline just as they did mine." Shinnok said.
"Mara is a prodigy of doing the impossible and will no doubt be given godlike powers once the Elder Gods eradicate my machines. I am actually impressed that my own daughter could pull it off under such pressure." The Man said amused and somewhat proud.
"It matters not. New Genesis will take years to recover and soon I will be free and you Michel Kree will be given the knowledge that others refused to give you. Soon We will control Earth Realm Outworld New Genesis and Edenia and nothing will stop us." Shinnok said.
