'So maybe this was worth it after all.' Quan Chi thought.

The two sorcerers bowed, then teleported off to Edenia to pay the royal family a visit. This plan would surely lure out Lui Kang.

Edenia

The two sorcerers killed every guard that stood in their way and took their souls. They went inside the castle where they found Sindel and Kitana talking.

"Shang Tsung!" Kitana said alarmed as she quickly stood up.

Sindel turned and saw the two sorcerers. She stood up.

"It's been quite some time since I last saw you Kitana." Shang Tsung said.

"What do you want?" Kitana asked.

"We've come for the both of you." Shang Tsung said.

All the guards in the castle immediately stood in front of the queen and princess.

"You will do no such thing!" One said.

Shang Tsung laughed as he hit him with a fireball, sending the guard top hit the wall heard, knocking him unconscious. The rest rushed forward fighting the two at once. Quan Chi put up a skull wall as his partner hit them with a powerful spell so hard it knocked them off their feet.

"Is this the best you have?" Quan Chi asked.

The guards attempted to charge once again but were unprepared for the might of the two sorcerers. They combined their powers and blasted all of the guards who realized too little too late that they were no match for the both of them.

"That was hardly a challenge." Quan Chi said.

Shang Tsung laughed coldly as he took every last soul form the guards.

"No!" Kitana screamed running forward.

Sindel grabbed her. "No. There's nothing we can do."

"That's right, so surrender now and no one else will get hurt." Shang Tsung said.

"We will never surrender!" Kitana screamed.

Shang Tsung teleported in front of the princess and grabbed her.

"Let go of her!" Sindel screamed. She kicked him hard in the face. He let go of Kitana as he fell to the floor. He got up and tried to punch Sindel but was knocked down again by a flying kick from Jade.

"You…" He said angrily.

"You will not harm them." Jade said.

"I think you've got it wrong Jade." Quan Chi said.

"Why don't you prove me wrong?" Jade said.

"Gladly," Quan Chi said.

He blasted a green energy ball at Jade who flipped over it and knocked him over with a heel kick. She then hit Shang Tsung in the gut hard, and then with her staff uppercut him. Quan Chi attempted to kick her in the side which she blocked, but Shang Tsung knocked her into a wall with a powerful punch. The two sorcerers grabbed both Kitana and Sindel as Jade rushed forward but teleported to Outowrld before she could reach them.

"No…" She muttered to herself. "I'm sorry, I have failed you my queen."

Lui Kang emerged out of Earthrealms portal and into the nexus. They were six portals, each bearing a different colour. He headed for the blue portal representing Edenia. He stepped through it and entered the realm to find a most unwelcoming site. He looked around. Guards were dead on the ground and some of the villages were left in ruins.

'What happened here?' He thought. His thoughts immediately turned to Kitana.

"Good lord." He said to himself.

He ran towards the castle but stopped a few feet short. He found a dead young village man on the ground beside a tree.

"How could this have happened?"

He checked the man for a pulse but found none. He continued to run towards the castle. Inside the throne room Lui Kang found Jade on her knees.

"Jade!" He said running to her. "What's wrong? Where are Kitana and Sindel?"

"They took them." She said.

"Who took them?"

"Shang Tsung and Quan Chi." Jade said as she looked up at him with fire in her eyes.

Lui's eyes widened with shock. "No…" He said. "How could I have let this happen?"

"It's not your fault. I tried my best to stop them but I was unsuccessful."

"Don't worry, we'll get them back."

Lui got up but Jade grabbed him by the arm. "Wait," She said. "I'm coming with you."

Lui Kang nodded. Jades eyes widened.

"What is it?"

"Your home…if they came here…"

Then they must also be in Earthrealm!"

The left the palace and ran towards the portal.

"Jade, should something happen to me, I want you to go ahead. Tell Kitana not to worry, I'll see her again, and that's a promise."

Jade nodded. "Yes of course. I'll everything I can to save her."

Outworld

Shang Tsung and Quan Chi dropped Sindel and Kitana on the floor. Their hands had been bounded tightly by ropes.

"What are we doing here?" Kitana asked.

"You'll see." Shang Tsung replied.

From the shadows emerged a tall, large skull masked figure wearing amour.

"No…"Sindel said. "It can't be."

"Leave them here." He said.

Quan Chi and Shang Tsung left towards Earthrealm.
