Chapter 2
Kabal and Kira where brought to a tent in their captors camp and made to kneel before their leader. "I am Reiko… general of the army of the fallen elder god, Shinnok and I have a request of your services…" Kabal stood up "… why should… we help… you?" he said, Reiko walked towards him and said "Because I offer you a place beside me when I take over this realm… not only that, but I have a former… ally of yours I brought from the Netherealm when I was released. A tall, muscular ninja walked in, he looked much like a member of the Lin Kuei, except he donned a brown colour. "It can't be… Tremor?" Tremor bowed "Pleasure to see you again Kabal" he said in his deep voice. Reiko coughed, the three of them looked at him "Now… do we have a deal mortal?" Kabal whispered with tremor and Kira, Kira stepped forward and said "we accept your generous offer, Lord Reiko…" Reiko smiled, "Good… you three will help with the assassination of out adversaries' leaders… the edenians known as Kitana and Sindel!" Kira smiled, Tremor put his hands together and cracked them "Goodie…" he said "A chance to kill…" Kabal nodded "It will… be done!" The three of them left, Reiko smiled then started laughing.
Earthrealm
Japan… a country living in fear. For the past few days, this country has been over run by a robotic clan calling themselves the Tekunin, ran by their leader, the former Lin Kuei ninja cyborg, Sektor. He had modified himself, making myself broader and adding new gadgets to his hardware. Sektor however was just building an army t take on his former clan, but he needed a robot with more power then average warriors, but he was in luck… for a ninja who used to be In Shao Kahn's army was here in Japan, in hiding… and he had found him… Rain.
Rain ran through the streets, followed by explosions. They where firing missiles at him, it didn't matter weather he was hurt, as long as he remained alive to be turned into a cyborg. 'How did I get myself into this mess' Rain thought to himself as he outran the cyborg's behind him, suddenly, Sektor was in front of him, Rain ran to the side and into a nearby building, he ran to the roof where he thought he was safe. Rain looked at the door, waiting for hem to come, when three cyborg's using jetpacks flew onto the roof. Rain fought and won against these three cyborg's. Then Sektor crashed through the roof, looked at Rain and said "Target found initiate capture protocol XV-21" a small hole appeared on Sektor's wrist as he pointed his arm out and out of it shot a lasso, rain dodged it. Suddenly, everything got windy and Fujin appeared before them. He looked at rain and shouted to him "Rain! You are needed in Outworld… the edenians need help in their war! Go!" He opened a portal, which Rain jumped into… followed shortly by Sektor. Fujin blasted away the other robots… he then sensed that something was not right, then disappeared.
Elsewhere….
Shujinko emerged out of the portal alone, he wondered where he was until he realised he was at the top of the Tibetan mountains, when Raiden appeared before him "Lord Raiden! I thought you where dead!" Shujinko then noticed something… Raiden was in black, his skin pale and his eyes glowed red. "Is something wrong lord…" Raiden threw a blot of lightning at Shujinko "Silence mortal!" Shujinko looked shocked, this was not the Raiden he knew! Raiden got into his fighting stance and started to attack Shujinko… it was not long before Shujinko fell to the power of an angry thunder god. Raiden picked Shujinko up "Lord Raiden… why?" Raiden smirked and electrocuted Shujinko until he stopped breathing then said "Because I chose to…" Raiden then teleported to a nearby temple where he sensed a struggle, inside he saw the zombified body and ghost of Liu Kang fighting. "Enough!" he shouted and electrocuted the two, miraculously, the two converged together… Liu Kang breathed for the first time since his death by the hands of Shang Tsung. Raiden walked over to Liu Kang and said "Earthrealm is under threat… get Kung Lao and Kai Lotus and go to Outworld… you will know what to do from there… Raiden disappeared leaving Liu Kang with many questions in his head.
The Jax, Sonja and Kenshi came through a portal near their HQ, when they came in, Cyrax stood there with special agent Stryker. "Guys, your back!" Stryker said, he ran over to them and gave them a hug, he didn't hug Kenshi due to the 'aura' he was getting of him. Jax nodded "No big… Cyrax! Good to see you back buddy!" Cyrax nodded "Affirmative Agent Jax… I mean… Good to see you too!" Sonya looked at Stryker "Look at you… special agent… working with the president?"" Stryker nodded "For a while... but I asked to be transferred here!" Sonya looked shocked. "Why?" she asked, Stryker smiled "So I can be part of the gang again! Iv been taught in a few new fighting styles while working as the presidents body guard... mind if I show you?" He looked at Jax, Jax nodded "This should be fun"
Kung Lao meditated in the Shaolin Temple at the bottom of a mountain in Tibet, when the doors opened, to his surprise it was his long time friend, Liu Kang! "Liu!" Kung Lao ran over and hugged his friend "I thought you where dead!" Liu nodded "I was… but i'm back now my friend…" Liu Kang explained the situation to Kung Lao about Raiden and his orders. Kung Lao nodded "I see… well, we are in luck then, Kai is still in Outworld on his exploration mission! We just have to find him!"
Nightwolf returned to his homeland, welcomed back by his chief. "My brother, how did the ceremony of imprisonment go?" Nightwolf shook his head "It failed… Onaga was not drawn to the Netherealm… but he has been defeated…" The chief breathed a sigh of relief "Well done my brother… come, we feast!" Nightwolf sighed… he could not get the images of the Netherealm out of his head.
