Liu Kang's corpse went to lunge at Kitana and Kung Lao but Liu Kang's spirit flew in between them.

"Liu Kang!" Kitana gasped.

Kung Lao stared at the fallen warriors spirit with his jaw dropped in shock. He was speechless.

"I won't let you cause anymore harm. You have murdered countless innocent lives! You will kill no longer! I see now why they took my body. It was to be used for a tool of destruction." Liu Kang said.

"Get out of my way weakling!" The dead corpse said as he threw his right arm at the spirit.

Amazingly Liu Kang's spirit blocked it. Soon the two were locked in a battle of mind over body. Neither of the two could over power the other. They were equal in every way. Kitana and Kung Lao ran forward to help but Liu Kang stopped them.

"No! I appreciate all your help but now I must fight my body alone." Liu Kang's spirit said.

Liu's corpse threw a punch but his spirit blocked it and tried to counter with a low kick.

"It's time to end this! There's only one solution to this problem." Raiden said.

Before Liu Kang could land the low kick a bolt of lightning hit both his spirit and his corpse. Liu Kang screamed in pain as he felt his soul become one with his body and his nerves set a blaze as he felt the air enter his lungs. When it was all over Liu Kang fell to his knees. Bolts of lightning circled his body for a moment. He could feel the after math of the shock as his body tingled all over. He clenched his hands a few times; amazed that he could feel his own touch.

'This is amazing. I'm alive.' He thought.

"You live once more. Are you alright Liu Kang?" Raiden asked.

Liu Kang stood up and turned to face Raiden and the others.

"Yes. I'm alright. And thanks to you, I'm alive." Liu Kang said.

"I'm glad to hear you're back to your old self." Raiden said.

"Yes but I feel terrible for what my body has done. It has caused great turmoil." Liu Kang said.

"There was nothing you could do." Raiden said.

"I don't understand, what's going on!" Jax asked. N

"It's alright, Jax. Everything's going to be ok now." Raiden said.

"I don't think so. It sounds like someone's coming." Johnny said.

Everyone turned to the large opening in the wall. A muffled stamping could be heard heading in their direction. The sound got louder and louder and eventually turned into battle cries.

"Someone's coming our way fast!" Jax said.

"Yes but what is it?" Sindel asked.

"I'm not sure but brace your selves!" Raiden said.

From the darkness a group of shadows could be seen running towards them. The shadows turned into the remaining army of Shao Kahn as they ran into the torch light.

"It's Shao Kahn's army!" Kenshi said.

"Aw no way man! There's no way we'll get out of here now! How are we gonna beat them now?" Jax asked.

"There must be a way." Kitana said.

"Shao Kahn must have used something to control them." Kung Lao said.

Raiden looked down and saw that he was still holding the spell book and the amulet. "He must have used the amulet!" Raiden said.

He opened the spell book and flipped through a few pages then pointed the amulet at the remaining soldiers. He chanted another spell as a green glow surrounded the amulet. Suddenly a large green beam shot at the army just as the army was about to strike.

"Kitana!" Liu Kang said as he turned around and threw himself upon the princess. He held her tightly with his back turned to the soldiers and shut his eyes. He braced himself for the attack. Instead of attacking the army ran through the warriors as they disappeared. Liu Kang opened his eyes when nothing happened and looked behind him. The warriors were the only ones left in the room and the army was nowhere to be found.

"What happened?" Liu Kang asked.

Kitana was shocked by the action of her friend. She suddenly became aware of him in front of her and quickly backed away from his hold. Liu Kang looked at her puzzled.

"Kitana, what's wrong? It's me, your friend." Liu Kang said. He looked at Kung Lao who was in a fighting stance and ready to attack.

"Is it really you?" Kitana asked.

Liu Kang smiled. "Of course it's me! Do not fear me my friends. I'm back to my old self."

Kitana smiled as her eyes welled with tears. 'It's really him.' She thought. She ran to him realizing that he was telling the truth.

Liu Kang outstretched his arms as she embraced him. The two held each other for a moment. Kitana looked up at him and gazed into his eyes. They were a soft brown colour. She noticed that his body no longer felt cold and battered and bruised, but it felt warm and looked as it did before. Liu Kang continued to smile as he took her hands.

"It is you. Welcome back. I felt terrible for what happened to you." Kung Lao said.

Liu Kang shook his head. "Do not blame yourself. It was not your fault. You did your best. I couldn't have asked for more."

Kung Lao smiled and bowed his head. "Thank you."

"Thank you everyone for helping to stop my body and Shao Kahn. You have helped me reunite with my body. And to you, Raiden, you gave me my life back"

"You should also thank Kenshi over there. He's the one that killed Shang Tsung and not only freed your soul, but the souls of his ancestors and the many others enslaved by him." Raiden said pointing to the blind swordsman who was still kneeling.

Liu Kang walked up to him and held out his hand for Kenshi to take. The blind swordsman got up and shook it.

"Thank you, Kenshi. I am honoured by what you have done." Liu Kang said.

"It was my pleasure. I did it to make amends after I was so foolishly tricked by Shang Tsung. He was the reason why I have this sword, and why I'm blind." Kenshi said.

Liu Kang nodded. "Shang Tsung has tricked us all one way or another. That's truly a great sword."

Kenshi grabbed his sword that was still in the ground and put it back in his sheath. "Thank you. I've heard many stories about you, Liu Kang. It's an honour to finally meet you." Kenshi smiled.

"Come my warriors; let us leave this dreadful place." Raiden said.

"Wait." Kitana said running over to where Rain's body lay.

Sonya took the same chance to run over to Johnny who had managed to crawl to a nearby cell. She knelt down in front of him.

"He's still alive! Rain's alive!" Kitana gasped.

Suddenly Rain groaned in pain. He was lucky. It seemed Shao Kahn's attack did not kill him but only knocked him unconscious when he slammed against the wall.

"Ugh. What happened?" Rain asked holding his head.

"You were knocked unconscious when you were hit with the power of the amulet." Kitana said softly.

"Is Shao Kahn dead?" Rain asked.

"Yes. With your help I was able to defeat him." Raiden said.

Rain looked over at Raiden. "You defeated him with my help? Did my last attack hit him?"

"Yes it did. It knocked the amulet form his hands and by doing so, you saved my life." Raiden said smiling.

Rain slightly smirked. "Good. Then I'm free at last."

"Yes and now you can return to our home in Edenia." Kitana said.

"No. I could never return after what I've done. I've done too many terrible things." Rain said.

"Don't be silly; Rain, of course you may return. I would be honoured to have a warrior such as you to help defend our realm. I insist that you come." Sindel said.

"Alright, I will join only if you can forgive me." Rain said.

"Of course we will, Rain." Kitana said. She helped Rain up. "Can you walk?"

"I don't think so. I think I'm too weak." Rain said.

Kitana nodded. She noticed a dagger left in its case on the ground. She picked it up and put it in her boot and then helped carry him slowly to Raiden as he limped with every step.

"H-Hey, Sonya." Johnny said when he noticed her.

Sonya's eyes began to fill with tears. "Johnny, are you ok?"

"I think I'll be alright. I'm just glad you're not seriously hurt."
