Hello, my dear friends. After being inspired by my good friend, SreznoJIG's crossover between Danny Phantom/Mortal Kombat and watching the latest Mortal Kombat animated movie, Scorpion's Revenge, I decided to make a crossover story of my own, but with Voltron. As you know, Haggar will be the main character, along with Allura and other Voltron characters, but the Mortal Kombat characters will still be the same.
Anyway, I hope my story is entertaining for every Voltron and Mortal Kombat fan out there. Enjoy the prelude, my dear friends and I hope you all enjoy the story.
In the beginning... were the Elder Gods. In their wisdom, they divided the universe equally into many realms, each in its own unique nature, violent or peaceful. As millions of years passed, many intelligent humanoid species evolved and many civilizations arose. And as time passed, a few of those prosperous civilizations, their pride and thirst for conquering and power rose. The worst of them, was an forsaken place called Outworld, lead by an immortal emperor called Shao Kahn. The immortal and powerful emperor of his realm, sought to conquer all the realms and unite them under his banner.
To prevent this from happening, the Elder Gods created a tournament, where once a generation the best warriors of the challenged and invading realm would compete for either the destruction or defending of their realm. This tournament was called: Mortal Kombat. And when Shao Kahn would win 10 straight victories, it gave him the right to invade and merge the other realm with his without unleashing the wrath of the Elder Gods on him. Though it gave some time for each realm a chance to defend themselves against Shao Kahn, all that were challenged by Outworld's emperor were eventually defeated.
But it was not only Shao Kahn that desired to conquer other realms. In another realm, called the realm of the Galra, their emperor too sought to conquer. His only desire was to have the realm of Altea.
Seeing Zarkon as a potential ally, Shao Kahn supported the Galra warlord for the conquest of Altea. And thus, after winning 10 straight victories in his own Mortal Kombat tournament, Zarkon and his galra warriors invaded Altea and merged their realm with theirs.
When the conquest was complete, Shao Kahn and Zarkon formed a deadly alliance, where Zarkon would support Shao Kahn in every tournament to conquer more realms, with the next one on Shao Kahn's list being Earthrealm. And having already won 9 victories in Mortal Kombat, it would be a matter of time before Earth would be absorbed into Outworld.
However... a prophecy would soon be unraveled, foretelling the end of both Shao Kahn and Zarkon's reigns of terror, once and for all.
In the Galra Realm, Zarkon's palace
Zarkon sat on his throne, being entertained and comforted by some of his Altean and Galra concubines, all wearing cleavage dresses. Just then, a Galran advisor entered and said while making a bow. "My lord, your warriors have returned from Sheng Tsung's island."
Zarkon glanced at the servant, gave a nod and ordered. "Send them in."
"Yes, my lord." The advisor said and went out of the throne room to bring Zarkon's victorious warriors in.
Zarkon ordered his concubines to leave, with all doing as their master commanded. As the concubines went back to their quarters, a few Altean concubines went into a different room to check on their friend, another Altean concubine called Honerva.
As they entered, they saw Honerva sitting at a chair while looking out the window, breastfeeding her infant son, Lotor, who she gave birth to just 2 weeks ago.
Honerva smiled as she saw her friends as one of them asked. "How are you doing?"
Honerva shrugged as she smiled at her son. "I've been better. Little Lotor however is doing well. Lord Zarkon is pleased that I take good care of his heir." But then, Honerva was starting to get sad as tears formed in her eyes.
Her friends went over to her, with one asking. "What's wrong?"
A tear fell from her eye as Honerva answered. "I wished I hadn't deserved this fate... I wished I could live a normal life, getting married and have a family of my own... but instead... I'm forced to be Zarkon's slave... giving him a child."
All her friends comforted her, as it was hard for Honerva to have been taken against her will and become Zarkon's concubine. "We know, Honerva. But we'll be here to help you."
Honverva nodded while her friends hugged her before he looked down at her son, still with tears flowing from her eyes. She knew that once Lotor was old enough, her purpose to take care of Zarkon's only son and heir would be finished and she would probably never see Lotor again. She could only imagine what kind of a monster Zarkon would turn her hybrid son into, which made her even more sadder.
Back inside the throne room, a dozen of Galra warriors entered, led by the strongest of them all, Sendak. As the warriors stood before their emperor, they all bowed before him, with Sendak saying with pride. "It is done, my emperor. Outworld is victorious."
Zarkon grinned, being pleased to hear that his warrior's asset to Shao Kahn's Mortal Kombat against Earthrealm had paid off. "Excellent. Just one more victory, and Earthrealm will be Shao Kahn's. You have served me well. I suppose a... reward is in order."
All the Galra warriors felt proud of their accomplishment and being rewarded by Zarkon. The Galra emperor snapped his fingers, signalling many beautiful female Altean and Galra sex slaves to enter the throne room to give pleasure to the Galra champions. All the Galra warriors smirked as they all picked their women and took them to a private area.
As the Galra warriors and Sendak had left with their 'reward', Zarkon was about to return to his own quarters, but was then called back by someone. "Lord Zarkon."
The Galra emperor turned around, seeing it was his Galra High Priestess. He frowned as he asked. "What is it?"
"I have foreseen things, my lord... that you need to know about."
Knowing that his High Priestess was always right about her prophecies, Zarkon became curious. "What have you seen?"
The female Galra priestess summoned a dark magic around her, showing images to her emperor. "Our ally, Outworld, has claimed so many realms in Mortal Kombat and now... 9 victories have they claimed against Earthrealm in the tournament. But be warned... the 10th and final tournament will go down in failure and will be the stepping stone to Shao Kahn's doom... and yours." She stated, as her magical images showed how Outworld's warriors and the Galra would all fall before Earthrealm's new champions, and eventually, both Shao Kahn and Zarkon's lives would be taken as well.
Shocked by this revelation, Zarkon became angry and demanded. "What?! What have you foreseen?! ANSWER ME!"
The Galra witch sighed as she showed another image. "At the first coming Blood Moon, an Altean prodigy will be born. This child will have a strength greater than the mightiest Galra or Altean warriors that has ever lived and will put an end to your reign." Before the image showed the birth of an Altean girl, who then grew up with a fierce strength and would kill Zarkon without mercy.
A drip of sweat fell from Zarkon's forehead, seeing the image of this female Altean warrior with red marks on her face and eyes burning like fire, who roared as she raised her fist in the air as many Altean's cheered for their savior after having destroyed the Galra empire.
For the first time in thousands of years, Zarkon began to feel afraid. He then exploded with anger as he pushed the images away. "ENOUGH!" He shouted before he gritted his teeth, knowing that the first blood moon will appear in 3 days "There will be a blood moon in 3 days! That means... the child hasn't been born yet!" He concluded before he marched out of his throne room to gather his soldiers.
The female Galra sighed as she watched Zarkon leaving, knowing well that even the mighty Galra emperor cannot stop the inevitable.
And as such, Zarkon's orders were: Every Altean woman who was heavily pregnant...must die.
As the 3 days were passing and the Blood Moon was getting closer, Galra soldiers stormed through the streets of the cities of the Galra realm, searching for any Altean women that were heavily pregnant. People panicked and tried to flee from the soldiers, but they could not overrun Zarkon's forces and so they killed many pregnant Altean women without mercy, even to those who'd just given birth, the soldiers would slaughter the mothers and their infant children. And as such, this horrible act would forever be remembered by the Altean people as 'The night of stolen children'.
In one of those houses, inhabited by an Altean family, a mother named Melenor held her 3 year old daughter close to her as the little Altean girl cried because of what was happening outside. "Mommy... I'm so scared!"
Though Melenor was afraid too, she tried all she could to comfort her daughter. "Shhhhh. It's alright, Allura. Mommy is here with you and I will never let anything happen to you."
But they were not the only ones who were afraid. In a different city, two half Altean/half Galra children named Ezor and Acxa were hiding with their families in a basement, afraid that the Galra soldiers would come for them as well.
However, one Altean woman named Lena, sought a plan to save herself and her unborn child. And as quickly as she could, Lena gathered some things and sneaked in an alley, avoiding a Galra patrol.
Though she had to hurry, she couldn't run that fast because she was 9 months pregnant. Lena rubbed her pregnant belly, saying softly to her unborn child. "Just hold on, my child. We'll be safe soon."
For hours, Lena tried all she could to get out of the city, but had to take other routes in order to avoid capture. Then, as she was close to the city gates, Lena saw an Altean woman being pulled on her knees, while 3 Galra soldiers surrounded her. Lena hid, watching what was about to unfold.
The Altean woman begged the soldiers as she seemed to go into labor. "Please... I beg you... I- AAAAAAAH!" She screamed as she got a contraction.
One Galra soldier kicked the woman to the floor as he raised his sword. "More the reason to kill you... and your unborn brat."
"No, please! DON'T-" But those were her last words as the Galra pierced his sword right into her pregnant belly, killing her and her unborn child!
Lena gasped in shock while holding her belly, not wanting her child to bear that kind of fate. And after a few minutes, when the Galra soldiers were gone, Lena carefully went out of hiding and ran through the city gates, heading into the woods.
Lena managed to hide for 2 days in the woods, while she could still hear the screaming of the Altean women who were found by the Galra and killed or burned alive, along with their unborn or infant children!
Lena sometimes would cry, as she was not only scared, but also because she missed her husband, Gafron, who was executed by a Galra officer for doing something he hadn't done.
She looked at the pendant around her necklace, carrying the symbol of Shirai Ryu and began to pray, as she was speaking to her old human friend from Earthrealm. "Harumi... please, if you can hear me. Help me. Please... help me!"
Earthrealm, in the Shirai Ryu village
At night, inside the dojo of the leader of the Shirai Ryu, Hanzo Hasashi was asleep in his bed, alongside with his wife, Harumi, while their infant son, Satoshi was lying asleep in a crib next to his parents' bed.
Harumi suddenly woke up in shock, having seen what had happened in the Galra realm and heard her friend Lena calling for help!
Hanzo had heard his wife's shock and woke up, asking worriedly. "Harumi. What is it?"
With fear in her eyes, Harumi faced her husband. "It's... it's Lena! She's in danger."
"Lena? Your Altean friend from long ago?"
Harumi nodded and begged her husband. "Yes. You've got to help her, Hanzo!"
Knowing how much Lena meant to Harumi after she accidentally landed in the Galra realm and both had become close friends, Hanzo gave a nod and went out of the room to prepare himself.
Little Satoshi had woken up because of his mother and started to cry before Harumi took him out of the crib and held him close. "Shhhh. Don't cry, Satoshi. Mamma is here." Before she then began to sing him a lullaby to calm him down.
After several minutes, Hanzo walked back in the room, now fully dressed in his ninja outfit and swords attached to his back. He planted a kiss on his wife's lips and then on his son's forehead, saying softly. "I'll be back soon and save your friend."
Harumi nodded as Hanzo walked out of his dojo.
Hanzo sighed as he concentrated. "Never thought I would ever return to the Galtea Realm after saving Harumi. But for her... I'll make an exception." And in a flash of light, Hanzo disappeared.
Back in the Galra Realm, in the Dark forest
Trying to eat something that Lena took with her, she watched the moon come up, starting to glow more red than it ever had before.
She watched with amazement, as this event would only occur once in a few decades. "A blood moon." But then, she heard something and carefully raised herself, taking out a small blade. "Who's there?!"
Out of the bushes, a group of Galra soldiers appeared, making Lena gasp in shock.
Their leader smirked. "Well, well, well. I figured that someone might have slipped through our hands and would hide in the woods."
Lena took a few steps back in fear while holding her blade to defend herself and her unborn child. "No. Stay back! Or I'll-" But suddenly, she got a contraction! "-AAAAAAH!" Before she then felt that her water was broken, knowing that the baby was coming.
Lena's eyes went wide in shock as the image of seeing the Altean woman that was slaughtered a few days ago went through her eyes, fearing that she would now face the same fate.
The Galra soldiers drew their swords. "Looks like that brat of yours wants to get out. Not on our watch." One soldier said while evilly smirking.
Their leader nodded and then ordered. "Kill her."
As the Galra soldiers attacked, suddenly a Kunai blade pierced through a soldier's chest!
Shocked, the other Galra soldiers looked, seeing a fierce looking Hanzo Hasashi as he yelled. "GET OVER HERE!" And pulled the Galra soldier hard over to him, before slicing him in half with his Katana sword, killing him!
"Hanzo!" Lena called as she was glad to see her friend's husband come to save her. But then stood ready to defend herself. "Hanzo, they want to kill me and my unborn baby. It's not safe for me here anymore."
Hanzo was shocked at hearing that, as only the most heartless of evil would ever kill a pregnant woman and an unborn child. He then knew the only place Lena and her child would be safe was in his Realm in his village, where she would be under the protection of the clan.
"Stay close to me, Lena, I'll get you and your child out of here. I promise you." He promised, getting a smile and a nod from the soon to be Altean mother.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible, Earth Realm scum." The leader of the soldiers said with an evil grin before more soldiers came out of the shadows and proceeded to attack the 2 friends.
While Hanzo was defending himself well and was killing many of the Galra soldiers, Lena was having a more hard time due to being in the early stages of labor, making it harder for her to fight. And while she did manage to kill a few soldiers, an untimely and very painful contraction caused her to lower her guard long enough for a Galra soldier to pierce her chest with his sword, wounding her badly!
Hanzo managed to save her by killing the soldier that stabbed her by slicing his arms and head off before going into a rage and slaughtering the rest of the soldiers, killing the leader last by cutting him to pieces!
Hanzo then went to Lena and checked the wound on her side. It was a deep wound and she bled badly. But then Lena screamed in agony of having another contraction. "AAAAAAAH!" She yelled before she looked at Hanzo as a tear fell from her eye, knowing she didn't have enough time. "Hanzo... please help me to... deliver my baby, quickly... I don't have... much time left."
Hanzo looked at her with wide eyes. He knew that he could call upon the spirits of his forefathers to quicken the labor, but he knew what consequences it would bring to Lena, as she was mortally wounded. "But... if I do that... you will die."
Lena slowly shook her head. "Nothing can stop that now... Please... my baby... he or... she still has... a chance to live a life. I... beg of you..." Then, she grindded her teeth as another contraction came.
Hanzo sighed, knowing he had no choice. He gave a nod to Lena as he carefully placed both his hands on Lena's pregnant belly, closed his eyes and prayed to his ancestors; The Shirai Ryu leaders before him. "Forefathers, hear my prayer. I, Hanzo Hasashi, beg of you. If one soul should be saved this night, please... let it be this child." Before he then spoke softly, like he was talking directly to the child in Lena's womb. "Hear me, precious child... It is with this strength, the true strength of the Shirai Ryu, that I now channel unto you... use it now. Fight, dear child. Fight... to be born."
Inside Lena's womb
The unborn Altean baby's eyes went wide open as it glowed white energy, feeling the strength of the forefathers of the Shirai Ryu flowing through her. And with her newly gained power, even though she was too young to know it, she moved a lot more, like she was fighting to escape her mother's womb.
Back outside of Lena's womb
An intense pain was felt by Lena. "GGRRRAAAAAAAAAAAH! BY... BY THE ANCIENTS! IT HUUUUURTS! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" But Lena was not going to give up on her child. Though her life was slowly slipping, she used the last of her powers to give birth to her child. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
It was then that the Galra moon, now coloring bright red as blood, shone over the Galra-realm.
Hanzo did all he could to help Lena in the delivery, as he already knew what would happen as he was there during Harumi's delivery of their son. "Keep breathing, Lena. You're doing okay."
Lena panted while she grind her teeth, having to experience labor pain ten times fold and started to push as hard as she could. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Inside of Lena's womb
The Altean baby moved so much like she was fighting inside, wanting to get out.
Outside of Lena's womb
Hanzo then said. "The head is almost out! Keep pushing!"
With all her might, Lena gave the biggest push as she screamed in agony while looking up the red shining blood moon. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Then... all the pain was gone and Lena heard a baby cry, smiling while she was still looking up at the moon. Then, she slowly looked at Hanzo, putting a blanket over Lena's baby.
Hanzo came closer to her and said softly. "It's a girl."
Slowly, while shaking, Lena reached her right hand to her baby daughter and said softly. "Haggar... oh... my sweet Haggar."
The baby Altean, now called Haggar, reached out her hand to grab her mother's index finger, with the little baby forming a small smile.
Though Lena was happy to finally meet her baby and touch her little hand, she then became sad as she looked at Hanzo. "Please... take care of my daughter... Keep her safe."
Knowing that he couldn't save his wife's Altean friend, Hanzo sadly gave a nod. "I promise... I will look after Haggar, as if she were my own."
A tear fell from Lena's eyes as she smiled. "Thank... you... Please tell Harumi... that I'm... thankful... for her… being my... friend." And with that, Lena breathed out her last breath as her head fell to the ground softly while her eyes forever closed, signifying that she was dead.
Little Haggar started to cry again, feeling that her mother was gone.
Hanzo sighed sadly, feeling that he'd failed to save Lena. Now he knew that the only way to make up for his failure was to take care of Lena's baby and raise her as his own daughter. He looked at Haggar, still crying, but stopped when she looked at Hanzo's face. "I will look after you now, little Haggar. Don't worry, you'll be safe with me, my family and my clan."
After Hanzo had buried Lena's body and performed some last rites, the masters of the Shirai Ryu took baby Haggar and held her close. Hanzo looked one more time to the blood moon in the sky, with it's red light slowly fading. Hanzo closed his eyes and teleported both him and Haggar back to his own realm.
Earthrealm, in the Shirai Ryu village
A few hours after Hanzo had returned to his home and told Harumi about Lena's fate, Hanzo's wife was devastated that Lena, her close friend, was dead before Hanzo comforted Harumi as she cried.
After a while, Harumi took a look at Haggar, sleeping in the crib together with Satoshi. Suddenly, Haggar started to cry again.
And while Satoshi didn't awake, Harumi took little Haggar in her arms and whispered to her, like she knew why Haggar was crying. "I know, little one... I know you miss your real mother." She spoke gently as she sat on a chair, comforting the Altean baby. "Shhhhh, I know, I know. It's alright."
However, Haggar still kept crying. Harumi gave a sigh as she removed a part of her clothes and held her breast close to Haggar's mouth. When little Haggar noticed it, she instantly sucked Harumi's nipple, drinking her milk.
Some tears formed in Harumi's eyes as she breastfed her now adopted daughter. "Don't you worry... little one. We won't let anything happen to you. I... won't let anything happen to you. I'll take care of you... and feed you... and raise you as my own daughter. I owe that to your real mother... we all do. Haggar... my sweet little Haggar." Before she then planted a kiss on Haggar's head, as the Altean baby had calmed down and now easily drank her new mother's milk.
Meanwhile, in the Galra Realm in Zarkon's palace
When all the Altean women who had been with child had been brought to a large courtyard in front of Zarkon's palace, with Lena being brought in last, their corpses were all burned in a large bonfire that had been made as an example to any Altean in the Galra Realm, with Melenor, Ezor and Acxa's mothers and Allura and the 2 hybrid girls themselves, watching the entire thing until it was over. The 3 mothers then left and formed a plan to get their daughters out of the Galra Realm and into another Realm where they would be safe.
After Zarkon entered his throne room and ordered everyone but his high priestess to leave, he asked her. "The prodigal child, has her birth been prevented?"
The high priestess looked at her emperor before smirking. "Hahahahaha. None can defy what fate has decreed, my emperor! The Altean prodigy has been born and is somewhere beyond your reach and within several years, the prophecy will be fulfilled and your reign of this Realm will end, along with Shao Khan's and your empires will die with you."
This got Zarkon angry as he grabbed her by the throat and demanded. "WHERE IS THE CHILD?! THE CHILD YOU SHOWED ME IN THAT IMAGE! THE CHILD WITH THE RED MARKS AND THE EYES BURNING LIKE FIRE! WHERE...IS...SHE?!"
The high priestess just grinned. "As I told you, Zarkon: she is somewhere beyond your reach. The prophecy will be fulfilled and not even you, Shao Khan or not even the Mad God, Shinnok, cannot stop what is to come, no 1 can. It is... inevitable! Hahahahaha. Hahahahahah!" She answered with 1 last laugh before Zarkon ripped her head off in pure rage!
"No. She was wrong. I've killed every Altean slime with child in this Realm. No 1 will stop mine or Shao Khan's reigns! NOT EVER!" Zarkon vowed to himself, despite the feeling deep down that his now dead High priestess may have been right. But he pushed that feeling away to focus on the expansion of his empire and maintaining his partnership with Shao Khan.
There you go, my dear friends, the prelude of my Voltron/Mortal Kombat story is complete.
