Welcome everyone to something new, but not entirely. After surpassing 20 stories this year, I have been feeling nostalgic. Not for my original original stories, but for the story that started me on my current writing path. That being Injustice: Dragons Among Us. Now this isn't going to be a return to Injustice, but it is going to be a return to its developer, Netherrealm Studios. And I'm betting just from that alone, you can probably guess what franchise we're going to next. Shout it with me: MORTAL KOMBAT!
More specifically, we're entering during the events of Mortal Kombat 11, as of now the latest game in the franchise. So Spyro and Cynder will be entering right in the middle of Kronika's schemes to reverse time and initiate her New Era. Now it may seem like this story is going to follow the game's plot straight on. But be aware, it may not end the same way. I've got a strategy for this story, which didn't come into being until a few minutes prior to typing this up for the second time. Yes, what you are reading was the second attempt at this story. I almost replaced it with something else, but I decided to put that plan on the back burner for now.
Anyways, that aside, there's a few things I need to let you all know before we continue. Firstly: This is going to be reminiscent of Injustice: Dragons Among Us in terms of format. Namely, one chapter of the story mode equals one chapter of this story, as well as a prologue at the beginning and an epilogue at the end. Secondly: I will not be using the journal format of Injustice: Dragons Among Us for this story. It really missed a lot of the plot I believe. Thirdly: Considering this game has time travel and characters meeting their past selves, I need a naming convention. So here are the rules:
1. All character's names will be held by their younger selves save Johnny Cage, Erron Black, and Kano. Their younger selves are Young Johnny Cage, Young Erron Black, and Young Kano respectively.
2. For those in the present that haven't had major changes to their identities, they will have titles. Present Sonya will be General Blade, Present Jax will be Commander Briggs, Present Raiden will be Dark Raiden, and Present Scorpion will be Hanzo Hasashi.
3. If any character's present self is a Revenant, that title will be tacked onto their name, I.E. Revenant Liu Kang.
4. Noob-Saibot will just be called Bi-Han, because I'm positive he was never called Noob-Saibot in the story.
Okay, with that, I hope we're on the same page. So let's see Spyro and Cynder test their might against the worst Mortal Kombat has to offer. Roll that theme song and get ready for something bloody. Bloody awesome that is!
