Mortal Kombat.

The Mad Titan, the timekeeper Kronika, manages to reset the timeline back to the beginning, wiping everyone, except Liu Kaing, due to his fire god status. Kronika was defeated at Liu Kaing's hands.

A now mortal Raiden, telling Liu Kiang of his worthiness as Earthrealm's protector and says his goodbyes to Liu Kaing. Liu Kaing, along with the Edinian Princess, Kitana, go and re-create a universe where everyone lives in relative peace with one another.

Thousands of years past, and Raiden passed on, but Liu Kaing and Kitana have successfully re-create the Mortal Kombat universe. Evil beings such as Onaga and Sho Khan were wiped out from existence, leaving Kotal Khan into becoming the somewhat benevolent ruler of Outworld.

And the Mortal Kombat Tournament was still in the Mortal Kombat universe, but not in the same way, in that the rule that stipulates the victor realm's right to invade the defeated realm ten consecutive times, doesn't exist. It is more like a sports tournament than anything else.

The Red Dragon and Black Dragon crime syndicates still exist on Earthrealm, but they are weak, due to their respective leaders being wiped out early. The Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu manage to live somewhat peacefully, despite differences in martial arts teaching, and the fact that the Shirai Ryu clan was created by a Lin Kuei defector. Though they made their differences can be resolved through the Mortal Kombat tournament.

That is until the GATE opened near the village of the Shari Ryu. The GATE opened in the near the Earthrealm village of the Shari Ryu, and the Saderan Army, 100,000 strong, poured through the GATE, where they begin to murder, rape, kidnap and rob the people of Shirai Ryu.

The Saderans thought that they can conquer this world and subjugate its people. They were wrong. Very, very wrong, as the response from Earthrealm was brutally swift and swiftly brutal, as Earthrealm was ready for anything.

Three regiments from the Earthrealm Defense Force was quickly assembled and converged on the Shirai Ryu's village, with operators and affiliates of Earthrealms' Special Forces, such as Jax, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, Cassie Cage, Kenshi, Takeda, Jacqui, Bi-Han, and Kui Liang.

General Jax, with subordinate Sonya Blade, led the Earthrealm's counter-attack against the Saderans, cutting them down in short succession - left, right, centre, either by fists, bullets, shells or grenades. To the Saderan's POV, the Earthrealm people are demons, as they use their staffs (guns) and fists, to take down hundreds of their soldiers, and dozens of their dragons.

Some Saderans, when they encountered the female Special Forces operators, the Saderan laughed at the fact that this world, have women as soldiers, and idiotically, insulted them, by calling them 'whores' (their words, not mine), and they promise, that they will 'have their way with them'. Of course, they never encountered people who can rip off a person's head with just their bare hands, or have metal arms that can punch through a human skull.

They will soon quickly be very dead, killed by the angry female Special Forces operators or when they retreated, they will encounter the fathers, that are Jax and Johnny, and the boyfriend, who is Takeda (yeah, Takeda and Jacqi are still in a relationship), who are a little more than pissed at the fact that these invaders call their women, 'whores' and Johnny, Jax and Takeda, promised that to the Saderans, they will 'have their way with them'.

And when Saderan prisoners are sent to PoW camps, some were found to have their genitals, so badly smashed or badly mauled, that Earthrealm doctors were forced to castrate the prisoners to prevent gangrene infection.

Deadpool: You can figure it out what happens there.

[The Author sniggers before both the Author and Deadpool thought for a moment, and laughed]

Deadpool & Author: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Author: Oh, we going to hell for this... oh wait, we won't. Because they're Saderans!

Deadpool & Author: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

While all of this was happening, Hanzo Hisashi, Special Forces affiliate and member of the Shirai Ryu clan, was returning from a successful mission on destroying a Red Dragon cell, when he heard of the attack on the Shirai Ryu by communication of Kuai Liang.

With quick haste, he travelled as fast as possible, only arriving just to see the Saderans retreating back into the GATE by the Special Forces, with the Saderans attempting to destroy the village, and executing any Shirai Ryu member that they can't take back through the GATE.

The Saderans retreated back through the GATE, losing up to 80% (around 80,000 soldiers and officers) of their military forces alone.

Hanzo runs to his own home, only to find his wife and son, stripped completely naked, brutally violated, and butchered in cold blood, with their various body pieces and blood, scattered across the room. And Hazno, upon seeing this awful display of his family, completely broke down, clutching his dead wife and child.

The Special Forces group, helping the EDF with their rounding up of Saderan prisoners and treating the wounded, can only solemnly gaze and observe from a respectful distance.

Deadpool: Poor Hanzo. He can't catch a break in this timeline.

Author: Or to be completely honest, in any of the timelines.

Meanwhile, Kotal Khan contacts the EDF, claiming that Saderan soldiers also attack his realm, but the Saderans they captured were sent to even worse fate compared to the EDF. (that fates either being thrown into the area, to face dangerous beasts or having their hearts being torn out, with the blood of the heart to be consumed by the Outworlders and Kotal Khan himself).

And the old war adage of 'the enemy of mine enemy, is thine friend,' the EDF and Kotal Khan, decided to work together to fight against this Saderan Empire.

As the week past, while the EDF is preparing a counterattack through the GATE, Hanzo didn't take care of himself. He neither clean nor eat and blamed himself. He even wanted to commit harakiri, for the overwhelming shame that he felt in failing to protect his family and clan.

But Hanzo eventually snapped out of this, in order to see that his family and the rest of the Shirai Ryu clan was buried. Liu Kaing, the Fire God, observed the proceedings and when Hanzo was all alone, offered Hanzo the chance of redemption of his honour and vengeance for his family and clan.

Hanzo was hesitant, but Liu Kaing knew this was happening, so made apparitions of Hanzo's family and clan. Hanzo sees and listen to his family and clan, baying him to avenge them with the blood of Saderan soldiers and scolded him, Hanzo eventually retracted his hesitancy and accepted Liu Kaing's offer for redemption and vengeance.

And Liu Kaing gives Scorpion the powers of a demi-god: immunity to fire, summoning fire, near-instant teleportation, rapid regeneration, duplication, and that these new abilities can be made more powerful by reliving his greatest failure (not able to save his family and clan).

With that, Hanzo became something else. Scorpion, a demi-god of vengeful wrath and righteous fury, and he vowed to avenge his family and clan, by making those responsible for the death of his family and clan, will pay with their lives.

As the week finishes up, the EDF assembled a division, to march through the GATE and defeat the Saderan Empire. Then, the EDF marches in, destroying the Saderan garrison that guards the other side of the GATE.

Meanwhile, the Outworlders at the same, march through their respective GATE, and killed thousands of Saderan soldiers, with thousands more made prisoners. The Outworlders made sure there were enough for execution, either for the arena or the heart sacrifice. They soon gain a fearsome reputation as being merciless towards anyone, and the Saderans (rightly so), feared the Outworlders more than any faction.

Both quickly set a base of operations, and they send squads on scouting missions, scouting the land and contacting with locals.

One squad, with Cassie Cage, with other squads being led by Jacqui and Takeda, being close by, making sure that they can support one another of one or two platoons are under attack.

The EDF was the first to arrive into Coda village, greeting the people there, who were surprised that a woman was in charge of a military unit. The greeting was cut short, as EDF's UAVs, spotted a few unknown vehicles coming from the west, and can be potentially hostile.

The villagers were told to hide nearby, while the EDF tries to see who is this new unknown power could be.

a JSDF scouting squad, led by Lt. Itami. They were surprised and caught with their pants down. Some JSDF soldiers were annoyed at the otaku for going into the village without considering the potential dangers that they may encounter, and these unknowns manage to surprise them. But luckily for them, Cassie Cage and her squad were not threats to the JSDF squad.

Cassie Cage asked the JSDF who are they and what are they doing. Itami, the idiot that he is, tried to be a smartass and asked who are they and what they are doing. This didn't help smooth relations, as Jacqui and Takeda's squad surrounded the JSDF squad, with fingers on the triggers. This made the JSDF soldiers under Itami's command to be even more annoyed because it looked like Itami had his head in his ass.

Then, as if it was a Deus Ex Machina for Itami, a Flame dragon was spotted the EDF and was preparing its attack on the EDF, Coda villagers and JSDF. Than Bi-Han and Liu Kaing arrived, and held back the Flame Dragon, by using their cyromantic powers, to build a wall to keep the Flame Dragon's fire out, insert overused Trump joke here.

The JSDF were astonished that these EDF, have people with extraordinary powers, and with the JSDF and EDF working together, the Flame Dragon was grievously wounded, and not a single villager or soldier was killed in that confrontation.

The villagers were saved, but their village was destroyed and became refugees. The EDF took the majority of the refugees (with Lelei and her master following the EDF, wanting to know more about Bi-Han and Kuai Liang's powers), while the JSDF took the rest.

Meanwhile, Scorpion was deep in Saderan territory, beginning his campaign for revenge. He often attacks small patrols of Saderan soldiers, and sometimes small outposts leaving the Saderan body pieces for their little more lucky comrades to stumble upon. And Saderan soldiers go to sleep, fearing this new monster that ripped or burn their comrades alive.

The following is a reconstructed transcript of Scorpion, ambushing a Saderan patrol.

Saderan Solider #4: 'What the?'

[A chain rope dart appears and became lodged into one of the Saderan soldier's face. It was pulled back, the force exploded the Saderan's head off]

Saderan Officer: 'AMBUSH!'

Saderan #1: There he is! [The Saderan soldier threw his spear, only for the spear to go right through Scorpion (this is one of the first instances of Scorpion using his duplicating abilities).]

Saderan Solider #3: 'What?!'

Saderan Solider #1: 'Where the fuck did he go?!'

[Three seconds of silence]

Saderan Solider #2: 'Show your face, you fucking cowa- ARGH!' [He stop mid-sentence, as his arm and head being ripped off from his body.]

[Another ten seconds of silence, as the Saderans look around, Scorpion appears right in front of them. The Saderans doesn't know how to react to this man. He was here, there, everywhere.]

Scorpion: 'All I see is fear. And dead men.'

Saderan Officer 'Kill him!' [Scorpion teleports and kills Saderan soldiers, unleashing his chain rope dart or fire upon them.]

Saderan Solider #3: 'He's a demon!'

Saderan Solider #4: 'We got get out of her- argh!'

Saderan Solider #1: 'Don't panic we- NO!'

Saderan Soldier #3: 'Argh!'

Scorpion, upon seeing the Saderan officer escaping: 'Get over here!' [uses his chain rope dart to pull the Saderan Officer in]

Saderan Officer: 'What do you want from me? I got gold, I got slaves! I can get you anything you want!'

Scorpion: 'You cannot negotiate with me. The only thing I want from you is this.' [As he holds a ball of fire in his hand]

Saderan Officer: 'No, no, noooooo!' [Scorpion slams the ball of fire into the Saderan Officer's face, burning his face and killing him]

And Scorpion often stumbles upon female Saderan prisoners, whom the Saderan treated them as sex slaves, which greatly disgusted and angered him, reminding him too well of his wife and child's fate. He always broke their chains and pointed them in the direction of the EDF's camp. To them, Scorpion was a divine saviour, but to the average Saderan soldier, he was the 'Yellow-Cladded Fire Demon', with none escaping his vengeful wrath.

Pt. 2 is coming up.
