Fatalities
Oh, Son of A- (Shao Kahn)
Locus pulls out his E-Saber and slashes the warlords chest before kicking him back. He then pulls out his sniper rifle and fires two shots, both hitting Shao Kahn in the kneecaps. He falls to the ground as a bright light shines down on him. The Konqueror looks up to see the A'rynasea flying over. The two light mass cannons fire and hit, exploding both Shao Kahn and most of the ground underneath.
Unfortunate (Kano)
Locus pulls out he E-Sword and slashes into the criminals chest before stabbing him to the hilt. Pulling the blade out, Locus then pulls out a grenade and shoves into the open chest. He pulls out his hand, with the pin still on his finger. The bomb explodes and destroys Kano's body, sending the head high into the sky. As it falls, Locus performs an upward stroke and slices the skull in half.
Fatal Blow
I'm a Professional (Johnny Cage)
Locus throws three punches before kicking the actor back. He then pulls out the SAW and unleashes a hail of bullets, peppering Johnny. Locus then pulls out a Sticky Detonator and fires it behind the actor before running forward and kicking him onto the bomb just as it explodes. Locus nips up and pulls out his E-Sword before stabbing upwards, impaling Johnny through the gut. Locus then lowers his arm and punches him off the blade, sending blood flying out of his mouth.
Friendship
Locus takes out a grenade before throwing it to the sky. He aims his sniper rifle at orb and shoots it, resulting in a series of fireworks.
Ending
'Shows Locus standing over a bloodied and dead Kronika next to the Hourglass.' "I promised myself I would change. But when Kronika tried to wipe out everyone and everything in existence, I had to go back on my word. And now..." 'Her body turns to dust as her power washed over Locus, turning his armor white with a gold trim. "Now the power over all of time is under my control. But that kind of power corrupts everyone, and I refuse to go back on anything else."
'The scene turns to show The Special Forces entering the Keep, Locus sneaking out the back in his normal armor. "So I gave up the power and let someone else deal with it." 'The Locus turned invisible before a bright light flashed the screen, turning it into the hull of his ship as he took his helmet off. "If I'm going to make things right, it has to be my way. A lot of people here need help. Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here for a while."
And our second Red vs Blue character has entered the fight. For the record, this is post-Chorus Locus, where he's trying to redeem himself for all the horrible things he's done. I don't know if he will, but I hope he does. Next up is our first video game character for this list: Joule Adams from Recore.
