With all of my strength and speed, I hurried my way back to Watership Down. I almost thought it would be a day's journey, but it took me nearly an hour to arrive. When I returned, I noticed a rabbit was on the ground... injured.

"Oh my God." I feared. When I got to the rabbit... it was Campion. "Campion! What happened?!"

He opened his eyes and was weak. "I'm sorry, Thomas. He... attacked our warren."

"Who?!"

He lifted his paw to point at the direction of one of Watership Down's entrances. "Shang Tsung..." I looked up to see Shang Tsung standing there. His eyes went back to black. I was able to morph back into my human form, in hopes to challenge him.

"Thomas... now we're here." Shang Tsung spoke. "You have come to face your destiny."

"My real destiny is when you set my friends and family free!" I barked at him.

"Ah... oh yes. However, are you sure you don't mean your human family?"

"Don't mock me, sorcerer!" I exclaimed. "You know damn well, whom I'm referring too!"

"Thomas... defeat this hraka!" Campion ordered me, as he attempts to stand up.

The sorcerer used his magic powers to mortally wound Campion to the point, near death. He summoned a snake and bit Campion's neck. The poison entered his body and paralyzed him. "Perhaps your rabbit friend should know better, when not to interfere our battle."

"CAMPION!" I hurried over to him. The snake was about to attack me, but I was able to snap it's neck. I looked back at Campion to see his breathing is fatal. "Shang Tsung, you monster! You shouldn't have to do that!" I turned back to the sorcerer. "I don't believe you, he's already down!"

"Don't pity, Thomas." Campion assured me. "You must defeat him... for all rabbits... please." His eyes closed, as he drew his last breath. Campion's dead. My fists clinched, as I was ready for the first strike at the sorcerer.

"His soul, now belongs to me." Shang Tsung was about to use his "soul stealing" ability to consume Campion's soul.

"NO!" I yelled and I wanted to stop him. With a charge to lunge at him, but failed with Shang Tsung's fireball blasted me to the ground. After the knockout, I looked to see Campion's soul is in the process of being absorbed to Shang Tsung. Cole and Sonya arrived by my side, as they watched it unfold.

"No... please." I reached my hand up to aim at Campion's last remains of his soul. "Please... please..." Just before the last speck of soul was about to completely taken by Shang Tsung... it stopped.

It began to puzzle Shang Tsung. The sorcerer struggles to complete the soul steal. It was than more streams of Campion's soul was being released from Shang Tsung. They started to head towards me. Something glowed through me. I looked down and saw something glowing through my shirt. Pulling out from my shirt, was my necklace that Allison gave me. The Celtic symbol was glowing and the rabbit was glowing also.

I'm speaking to you... Thomas. The voice was The Black Rabbit of Inle'. I turned around to see, if she was near. Even Shang Tsung knows something powerful was coming to fruition. In effort to free Hazel and the others, you must defeat the sorcerer of souls. You have the ability to obtain them... and then free them.

"What?!" In shock I was. I had no intensions to have souls in me.

"Too bad... those souls would be good use to you. If you could control them for power." Shang Tsung boasts. Enrage, I charged at him, but only to be knocked down by his dark magic.

"Thomas!" Cole and Sonya were about to aid me, but Shang Tsung knocked them out with his abilities of magic. I turned to see my two allies on the ground. It was over... there was no way I could be able to defeat Shang Tsung alone...

"Your souls are mine!"


"It can't be." I said to myself. "Raiden, told me he's too powerful to defeat. I can't be able to free my family and friends." I began to admit defeat, as I closed my eyes.

Thomas... A voice came that wasn't The Black Rabbit. Thomas... The voice returns which it opened my eyes. After hearing it, two more times, it was Hazel. You were never alone. I'm still with you.

"Hazel?" I questioned.

Thomas... Holly's voice came.

"Captain Holly?"

Be the warrior that is inside... Bigwig's voice came.

Find the rabbit inside you... as I did. Campion's voice came.

Listen to our voices and visions we give you... Fiver voice came.

Feel the arcana inside you, Thomas! Liu Kang's voice came out of no where.

Your arcana is within you. Raiden's voice came too.

Feel your animality... Nightwolf's voice came.

Use your animality... Holly's voice returns.

Energy is boiling inside of me... very powerful. I started to feel the duality returning... I feared that I would return a wolf. However, with my new family's strength... wisdom... and guidance... I started to become more of a rabbit. The voices continue to fill my eardrums.

"I... can... feel..." I said to myself in thought.

With a shout, I transformed myself back into the rabbit. My old former rabbit form that The Black Rabbit of Inle has given to me. My dragon marking glowed on my shoulder, as well a new marking appeared on my other shoulder... a Celtic symbol from the necklace.

Shang Tsung was surprised, but seemed to be complimentary of my animality and my arcana. "Impressive. But how will you save your new family, by defeating me in combat..." Shang Tsung closed his eyes, until his eyes changed into reptilian. He started to become longer, as he was decreasing in size... until his back has a hood. He morphed into a cobra.

Lightening flashed, as Raiden, Liu Kang and Kung Lao, and Jax showed up, as they hurry to aid Cole and Sonya.

The sorcerer hissed. "Now itsss... time for your new friendssss... to watch your demissssse."

My paws were ready to thrash him. I hurried to charge at him, but he slithered quickly away from my landing. The hood of the cobra rises and created it's shade. He started to use it's eyes to frighten me to go tharn. However, with Bigwig's help of training me on how to deal with snakes, I was able to look back and forth at the snake, without gazing at it's eyes.

He than charged at me, as he attempts to take the bite. I jumped high enough and landed on the back of his hood. The opportunity I was given, I bit his back and the snake snarled in a roar. He than rolled around multiple times to get me off of him. After we rolled towards the brook, he was able to be free himself. The cobra rose up again, but started to feel weaken that he's souls are starting to depart from him.

"Well Shang Tsung, they're resisting!" I barked. "They're no longer being hold by you."

His animality started to drain that he's being transformed back into a human. "They're mine."

"You know they're not! Free them!"

Shang Tsung cast his fireballs at me, but I was able to maneuver them and was able to perform a hop kick at him. Knocking him off his feet that he landed on the ground, as I turned myself back into my human form. Shang Tsung got back on his feet to see his lip is bleeding. And one by one, more souls were being set free.


"Despite of those souls you trapped, where's yours?"

Shang Tsung spit his blood. "Save your pity, for the weak! Especially, your puny little bunnies!"

"Surrender, it's over! Even my friends were able to defeat your warriors!"

He than snapped his fingers to reveal a portal and brought forward... Allison and Emily were trapped in some sort of magic.

"Allison! Emily!" Cole was about to charge for them, but Shang Tsung prevented him, but trapped them into another realm.

"Only a foolish warrior would set foot into the Netherrealm." Shang Tsung spoke. If only if I wasn't fighting the sorcerer, I would have able to find them and free Cole's family.

Another portal opened out of nowhere that caught our attention. Out come was a warrior that I knew... "Hanzo Hashashi?" It was him, but him as Scorpion. After seeing this, I turned to Cole. He had his spear out and his blood trailed down. His blood was able to summon Scorpion.

"NO!" Shang Tsung was about to stop them, but I was able to tackle him down.

"Cole, go! Free your family!" I ordered him to take his opportunity to follow Hanzo, before the portal closes. Cole followed Scorpion and the two entered the portal, before it closed.

Shang Tsung in rage, he started to use whatever power he had to stop me. His fire spells lunged towards me, but my necklace glow and formed a barrier. The magic barrier was doing it's best to protect me, but it was starting to break, as Shang Tsung's powers were becoming more powerful. Lightening than came out of no where. It distracted the sorcerer's spells, as I turned to see it was Raiden. My arm started to glow, as it was started to form a magic ball. It formed a Celtic symbol.

I closed my eyes and started to remain focus in effort for the magic to grow stronger. More energy started engulf upon me. I started to hear voices that are not only from the present, but past voices that might be from my ancestors. Their voices of sage have given me enough power to defeat Shang Tsung. I opened my eyes and performed a powerful blast that burst into Shang Tsung that he started to glow.

"No... no! NOOOOOO!" He screamed, as more souls were coming out of him. Out of nowhere, an object dropped from his belt. It was a orb. An orb that appeared to have something in value, but nothing was coming out of it, as the souls were being released. The defeated sorcerer dropped onto his knees, as I approach the orb. The voices were recognizable. They were the rabbits that were trapped under Shang Tsung's control.

"You think you have won?!" Shang Tsung questioned me. "Even defeating me... you don't have the power to free them."

After what he just said... he was telling the truth. Although, I was able to harness Campion's soul into mine. The conundrum now is freeing Campion, Hazel, and the others. A portal came behind me that I turned to see Cole and his family coming out.

"The prophecy has been fulfilled." Raiden spoke to the sorcerer. "Has the blood on your hands taught you nothing?"

"No matter how many of my people you put in the ground... there will always be others to take their place." the sorcerer, defeated, spoken as if he lost the battle, not the war. "Today... you have killed my warriors and you think you have won-"

"I know you may have an alliance with another sorcerer, but that won't stop us." I spoke up. "Especially from the Netherrealm."

Shang Tsung became furious. "Next time I see you, Raiden... and you most of all Thomas. I will not bring fighters... I will bring armies."

The mist was starting to appear behind him... and out came was the blackest figure that I recall seeing before. The Black Rabbit of Inle'. Raiden and the others spotted her, but I know the power that The Black Rabbit has that I advised them not to attack, as well she's an ally to me. I turned back to the defeated sorcerer.

"You may try start an army... but I don't think you'll live long enough to find their potential." I spoke, as The Black Rabbit and her Owsla approaches stealthily behind the sorcerer. "No matter what happens... we'll always fight back and we'll stop you."

"Earthrealm-" before Shang Tsung could bark his last word, the paw of The Black Rabbit touched him. The sorcerer let out a horrifying howl of pain. The Owsla encircles him, as the mist started to surround them. The sorcerer's hair started to turn white... his eyes became blind, as well his eye color changes. His skin started to pale and his souls burst out of him, as he continues to scream. Before what became of him... we don't know. Except he was immediately taken to The Black Rabbit's Warren and more likely to imprison him to death. Or thousand times of deaths he'll endure.

"Who is that rabbit?" Cole asked.

"The Black Rabbit of Inle'. The reaper of rabbits, but really works for Frith. The rabbits' god." I answered.

"The sorcerer is now in our hands." the rabbit spoke to us. "Now it's up to the warrior, who held the power to help rabbits, to free them." She begins to depart.

"But wait!" I stopped her. "What about the medallion and how can I? I'm not sorcerer nor that I wish to be one."

She turned back around. "The medallion is in good hands of your new ally, as it always been. Regarding to the rabbits' souls... it is up to you." She continues to on her journey and the mist took her... and disappeared.

I looked down at the orb to see Hazel and the others trapped there. "I may not be a sorcerer that Shang Tsung is trying make me to be... but I could always free you guys... unlike he ever will."

"That power too greater for you to bear. You're not strong enough!" Raiden expressed concern.

"If I don't do anything to free them, they'll be trapped! And they may not be able to live in the afterlife also, if The Black Rabbit takes them... but I want them to live again."

I started to release Campion's soul into the orb, adding another soul to it. I than raised the orb above my head and closed my eyes. "FREE THEM!" I than smashed the orb to the ground. The shatter created the howls of rabbits that were killed under Shang Tsung's doing shouted for freedom. The energy exploded and blasted me to the ground, as my friends watched and probably catch my fall... as I began to fall unconscious.
