Mk.49
Time for change
All the Elder Gods were still in shocked see a Follower is here a not just any follower, Joki.
"Raiden, what is the meaning of this?!" one of the Elder Gods said in anger
"I'm sorry to deceive you. But, in order to Escape from the realm that was abandon. I had known choice. "Raiden said still griming about the situation.
"That doesn't explain why brought…that thing." Other thing one elder gods said with venom in its voice. Juki rolled her knowing that amount the 'love' she'll get
"Well, I see my welcome is so warming as the last time I was here."
The Elder Gods ignored Juki and turn there attention back to Raiden.
"Raiden, you have betrayed are trust. For that we will relieve you of your god hood." They said in union
"What?!" Both Lu Kang and Kung Lao said in shocked not believing that the Elder Gods would do that. But, Juki knew, she know how cruel the Elder Gods can really be.
"You can't do that!" Lu Kang said "Lord Raiden done everything in his power to protect us and Earthrealm. There were things I didn't agree but we always find a way out it."
"Yea! Lord Raiden always figure out away. More then you guys ever did!" Kung Lao chime in defending Raiden's action. Raiden was touch by this. Caring for the Earthrealm like they were his children. He felt a pang of guilt, like he had let them down. Juki also, help feel a little jealous, seeing the Earthrealm defending their god. But also felt anger on how Elder Gods not taken this seriously.
"If you guys are so much as coward to fried some one from distance. Maybe I should drag you out." Juki then pull out her daggers then threw one at one of the faces of Elder Gods. Destroying it. everyone was shocked by this.
"Juki! What are you doing?!" Kung Lao said
"Relax they not really here. If they were, they would at sense me better. They probably hiding in the hold. I'm just getting there out." She said as she threw two more dagger at two Elder Gods face destroying them.
"I can do this all day Cetrion. Hurry up you b-"
"Enough!"
The whole temple shook and a flash of light blinded the group. When the light subsided, they all saw just one Elder God was front of them. It was a woman, with dull purple like skin and her hair look like seaweed.
"And here I thought we won't get a proper greeting." Juki mocked Cetrion was not amused.
"I thought you die a long time ago, Joki. "
"You thought wrong."
"Unfortunately, I did." Cetrion then look at Raiden. "we always thought highly of you Raiden. Bring this thing go against rules."
"I must you every resource I can use to stop Shao Khan's invasion." Raiden stated
"Raiden, Shao Khan didn't break the rule he-
"You know that a lie Cetrion!" Juki yelled causing Cetrion flinch a little "Why wouldn't you help them. You can get rid of Shao Khan once and for all. If I recalled, he causes a lot of trouble ever since Onaga die."
"You can blame yourself and your brother, Kasai. I wonder if you told Raiden the deal you had with Onaga thousands of years ago." Cetrion pointed out. Both Juki and Raiden by this. Lu Kang and Kung Lao were confessing on the comment.
"what she means Juki?" Raiden asked Juki, but she looked away in shame
"She has planning on Onaga to collect the Kamidogu so the One Being can reform. Am I'm right Joki?" Cetrion said
Juki lower her head lower being more shamed. When she was Joki all she wanted revenge on everyone. Elder Gods, Titans, Kronika. Everyone. To her eyes deserve to suffer on what they did to her One Being. She wanted to bring the One Being back so badly. Why they have suffered from a war that wasn't their fault? Only reason she didn't was because of him. Fumo.
"She right. I was planning on doing that a long time ago. But I gave up that idea. The One Being is dead and nothing I do will change that." Juki then left up her head with a sense of pride. "I have new mission. A mission that more pure then yours."
"What are you talking about Joki?" Cetrion said narrowing her eyes. She know Juki isn't dumb. She hoping she wouldn't figure out her true plan.
"The Elder Gods I shatter too easily, even in the state I'm in." Juki said as she look around. Ever since she got here there was something feel off about this place. At first she thought it was just her but when as soon as she saw Cetrion in the flesh, that confirm it.
"You sense it too Raiden?" Juki asked. Raiden hated to admit but something did felt off when he got here. It felt like he was only talking to one of the Elder Gods not six. Raiden was so concern about Earthrealm he did took in mind about.
"Cetrion, where are the others?" Raiden asked hoping he was wrong.
"that…that not your concern Raiden." Cetrion said hesitation in her voice.
"you're a terrible liar Cetrion. Is not in your nature to lie." Juki pointed out
"You are right about that Joki. Find I'll tell you the truth. I kill them all." Cetrion said coldly. Juki, Lu Kang, Kung Lao, and Raiden eyes widen in shock from what she just said.
"What do you mean, you kill them? You're the god of life, virtue, and light. This go against your very nature, Cetrion."
"I have seen a better path then the path we have been following." Cetrion said which confuse everyone. Then the temple began to spin with sand swirling around them.
"this truly a sight to be seen."
A voice said, everyone look around trying figure out who said that. Juki sense a very powerful energy and she knew who it was. Soon the sand forms a person she have piercing blue eyes. She was also wearing a white and gold dress with blue glow around her body.
"I never thought I see the day. Were a follower and god work together." The women said
"w-what are you doing here Kronika?" Raiden said cannot believe Kronika was here.
"Making sure that you don't interfere with timeline." Kronika said
"what do you mean?"
"I'm letting thing go the course it meant to go but every time I try to, you go mess it up, Raiden."
Raiden still don't understand what Kronika said then turn to Lu Kang.
"But I'm so glad you brought your champion here you had save the trouble of getting him." Kronika said
Lu Kang and Kung Lao didn't what going on. All they knew the gods of god is here and she bad news, Both of then try to back away from her but they couldn't move it like time stood still for them.
Juki and Raiden are immune to this time effect. Raiden realize what Kronika was doing and it was not good. Raiden quickly made a portal behind them, Juki caught on what Raiden was planning to do. She quickly grabbed Lu Kang and Kung Lao and push them into the portal. Before they went complete in the portal she send out a massage to them they went straight into there brain. She just hope Smoke can sense the energy she plant into them.
"That was foolish of you two. All you did was delay the inevitable." Kronika said but then put a barrier around Juki and Raiden.
"Since you guys are here. I'll make sure that you don't interfere this time."
Back at the graveyard
Smoke and the other were still try to figure out on how to destroy the soul tornado. That can't allow for this to continue and give Shao Khan and his army boost that can be the end for them. Sub-Zero turn to Sareena who was making sure Noob and Scorpion won't kill each other the moment she let her guard down.
"Do you guys have any idea how we destroy this thing?" Sub-Zero ask Sareena since she work with Quan Chi for the longest.
"to create one you need some sacrifices and a powerful spell to create one. To stop it I don't have a clue." Sareena said
"I do." Everyone turn to Nightwolf who regain consciousness. He tries to get up but he was still too weak. Jade try to keep him from getting up but her protest, Jade then just help him up, He then look up at Sareena. "it seems even demon have heart. Thank you for not killing me."
"the only reason I didn't kill you was because you made be useful to us." Sareena said coldly but everyone can tell she was lying.
"either way, I think I know how we can destroy it or less weaken it. My spirts told me a way that could work. Sareena, you use some of energy to poison it." Nightwolf stated. Sareena thought on what Nightwolf said and he was right but in order to put a enough poison into the soul tornado she must give all her energy and she could. She willing to take one for Earthrealm not want it to get destroy and she wanted to do one good thing in her demon life. Before she could make her decision, she felt a hand shoulder. She look to she who it was and it was Bi-Han, probably know what she was thinking.
"can my energy do the same?" Bi-Han asked
"It might but not as good her but it better then nothing at this point." Nightwolf said then everyone turns Scorpion who had his arm folded listen in on conversation. He just rolled his eye knowing that asked to join in.
"Fine, but I don't think three of us will make dent, even if we were in good condition." Scorpion pointed out.
"you said demon energy can poison right? Nightwolf turn to Smoke who skin still look sickly grey and eye was still red.
"correct, but your demon energy seems unstable."
"I know, but we have bigger problems. We need to stop that." Smoke pointed at soul Tornado.
"Fine. I think a ghost ball could work." Sareena said as she was forming her own ghost ball "It can nullify the effect of the tornado. Hopefully."
Bi-Han and Scorpion did the same a made their own. Smoke try to figure out how to make his own Ghostballs he tries his to pour his own energy in to his smoke bomb and started to glow white. Then all four of them threw there Ghostballs into soul tornado. The soul tornado turn color insist of begin light green it turns to red. This confess everyone.
"Did-did we weaken it?" Smoke asked turn to Nightwolf.
"yea, what you guys did might change the tide of the war. Quickly, let head back to Sonya Blade to report." Nightwolf said. Everyone nodded and headed to the church hide out. Not knowing they were being watch from a far.
