Chapter 9: Goro and Kintaro

As they made their way to main throne room, many of Shao Kahn warriors and elite guards attack them. Not even Shao Kahn's troops were a match for them. Kitana killed one of the last ones by decapitating his head off with he fans. Jade impaled the other one with her staff. Finally they reached the main throne room. However, guarding the room were the two Shokans Goro and Kintaro. The two Shokans had a history with the Shaolin monks since Goro was responsible for killing their ancestor the great Kung Lao. Liu Kang defeated him five hundred years later as well as Kintaro. Now both Shokan has a grudge with the Mortal Kombat champion as well as his spiritual brother.

"So the descendants of Kung Lao have freed the princess and now plotting to overthrow the emperor. Unfortunately you will not reach the emperor" said Goro.

"Yes, we have been ordered to eliminate all enemies of the emperor and now we will have the pleasure of crushing you!" roared Kintaro.

"Now that I am free, your emperor is as good as finished. This realm will finally be free of his tyranny" said Kitana.

"If you want to get to emperor you have to defeat us. We will crush all of you where you stand" said Goro/

"We shall see if you can best in combat!" said Liu Kang.

"Yes, it is time that we avenge our ancestors all of you stand back" said Kung Lao.

Kitana and the others stood back like Kung Lao advised them to. Masao and Yoshio now had the chance to see how strong the White Lotus society truly was. Liu Kang stood in front of Goro and got into his stance. Goro roared and jumped in the air. He tried to stomp on Liu Kang but he back flipped out of the way. Liu Kang started to shoot fireballs at him. Though they were pushing him back, it looked as if Goro was unaffected by them. Liu Kang gave him a flying kick but Goro grabbed and started punching him with his other two arms.

Kung Lao was also fighting against Kintaro and tosses his hat at him. The hat managed to scar Kintaro but he shot his fire ball at him. Kung Lao teleported and tried to dive kick him but Kintaro smacked him aside. Goro finished punching Liu Kang then tossed him next to Kung Lao.

"What's the matter Liu Kang? I thought you were the Mortal Kombat champion" taunted Goro.

Liu Kang struggled to get back on his feet "I am not through yet!" When he got back up he ran towards Goro and gave him the bicycle kick. Goro was actually being pushed back into a wall. Liu Kang wrapped himself Goro and ripped his arms off. He dropped to his knees as Liu Kang twisted his neck and pulled off his head. Kung Lao stood back and tossed his hat at Kintaro again. This time the wound got bigger and Kintaro was in a lot more pain. Kung Lao teleported in front of him and used his tornado attack. He took off his hat and sliced off his arms one by one. Kintaro stumbled back in pain until one of his legs was sliced off too. Kintaro was backed into a corner and Kung Lao sliced his head off. Both the Shokans were dead and the great Kung Lao was avenged

"Impressive, the White Lotus is powerful" said Masao

"Thank You, now it is time to defeat the emperor and free Outworld." said Liu Kang.
