Chapter 6
Raiden stood onto of the highest mountain, looking down at the mortals in the city below. "Foolish mortals… squandering their lives away, while the fate of the world lies on the shoulders only a few men and women… well... lets see how they face the wrath of " Raiden was interrupted. "Stop this Raiden!" Fujin landed beside him "What is wrong with you? Why are you being like this?" Raiden turned around to face him, he was not the same Raiden… not anymore! "Because these mortals waste their lives while only a few of them help to save their asses! It shouldn't be this way and I won't let it be this way!" The whole world was engulfed by dark clouds, bolts of lighting hitting everywhere. Fujin shoved Raiden, stopping him doing this "Will you get a hold of yourself Raiden!" Raiden then shot a bolt of lightning at Fujin, knocking him down. "Be quiet… old friend!" Raiden continued to make a giant thunderstorm to engulf the entire globe!
Scorpion and Ermac travelled together, Ermac asked Scorpion "Who are we looking for now?" Scorpion pointed over where two men where walking "Those two…" Liu Kang turned to Kung Lao and said "We are being followed" Kung Lao nodded "I know… lets find out who by!" The two Shaolain monks hid in the trees in the nearby forest and waited. They sprung a surprise attack, but stopped when Liu recognised one of the people standing before him "Ah… Ermac, it is good to see you once again" Liu and Ermac bowed "Scorpion? What are you doing here?" Kung Lao asked. Scorpion spoke to the two monks "I am in need of your services… we must stop the one being from fully merging the realms!" Liu nodded "Yes, we sensed such a thing was happening, we where going to find out friend Kai to help us" Ermac nodded "We will need him if this threat is as bad as we think it is!" Liu Kang and Kung Lao parts ways with the two ninja's, promising to catch up with them once they find their friend. Scorpion sighed "We still need more… I guess its time to find him…" Ermac nodded "We shall be leaving you temporarily… We will need all of our strength and we have yet to recover from Shang Tsung's attack." Scorpion nodded "I see, I shall so you later"
Kunreva killed the last shokan in the battalion him and his forces ambushed. Kunreva smiled "Our work is done my brothers! Return to our base! We shall celebrate this victory!" Kunrvea and his men walked through the canyon towards their base, only to see it in flames and the centaurs left there all dead. Kunreva growled "Who dares to do such a thing!" Suddenly they where surrounded by a group of tarkatans, lead by Baraka. Baraka drew his blades "By order of General Reiko, you are to by executed!" Kunreva and his men decided to get the first attack in and charged at the tarkatans, the fight did not last long, as Kunreva's forces where still weak from their last battle and their numbers where too many. Kunreva was the last one left, killing all the tarkatans in sight. Kunreva tried to stand up, when he felt a sharp pain in his back, he turned around to see Baraka stabbing him from behind, through Kunreva's chest. "You bastard!" Baraka quickly withdrew his blades from the centaurs' chest and chopped off his head!
Baphomet, Mileena, Sheeva, Kano and Kintaro came through the portal, followed by many oni and other denizens of the Netherealm. Baphomet spoke to his generals "Go now, weaken this realm so that we may take over! Mileena smiled 'This is the first chance I get at getting my revenge at Baraka!' She ran off in the direction of the tarkatan camp. Kintaro roared and took a few dozen oni in the direction of the Shokan camp. Sheeva wondered in the direction of the Edenian camp, while Kano just watched and smiled.
Shang Tsung made it to the portal to the nexus… "Soon, I shall feast upon every soul in the heavens!" Suddenly, there was a wall of energy blocking his path, he turned around to se Seprion, staring at him, the white ninja would not give up! "Why do you insist on bugging me?" The sorcerer shouted at him. Seprion started glowing "You where defeated in Mortal Kombat by my hands many centuries ago, I am here to right the wrong of letting you live!" He started to walk towards the sorcerer "For too long have you meddled in the affairs of mortals… for too long innocent lives have been lost, just so you may live… I am to deliver their vengeance… and to deliver mine!" Seprion raised his arm and shot an energy blast at Shang Tsung, In retaliation, the sorcerer fired fireballs at him, Seprion evaded these, but found the sorcerer fleeing again. Shang Tsung smiled while doing this, the longer this went on, the more power he got back, soon he will be just as powerful as he ninja who was hunting him.
Jade came through the tent where Sindel, rain and the Earthrealm warriors sat discussing their battle plan. "We have a problem! There is another army in Outworld, one which dwarfs our, Reiko's, the Shokan, the centaurs and the Tarkatans put together!" Sindel did not like the sound of this "What? Where?" Jade hesitated before answering, "They are pouring out of the Netherealm… they are chanting the name, Baphomet…" Cyrax started beeping "Baphomet: Last known status: trapped in the Netherealm; co-ordinates 3I:7KU… current status… Unknown" Sindel sighed "This isn't good…" Jax was confused "Wait a damn minute? Who is Baphomet?"
"Baphomet…" Reiko explained to Kabal, Kira and Tremor, "Ruler of the Netherealm… it is he who decided what plane of hell you are put in. He was trapped inside his won temple at in the final plane of hell by the elder gods, fearing that he would take too much power." Kabal started to get what was going on "And now he is free? How?" Reiko shook his head, "All I can speculate is…"
"He must have obtained Onaga's soul, becoming the One Being…" Shao Kahn finished explaining to Goro. "I see… so he is here why?" Shao Kahn laughed "He wishes to take over the realms and merge them into one under his rule. But I will not allow it, the realms are MINE to control!" Goro stood up "Yes my lord… we shall assemble our troops and get ready to att-" Kahn interrupted "No… we shall wait… let the fools fight against eachother… we shall clean up the rest!" Goro put his arm over his chest. Very good master!" Kahn sat on his throne, not aware that he is Baphomets first target…
