Chapter 12: A new future
With the defeat of Shao Kahn, peace began to spread throughout Outworld. Jade treated Yoshio's wound that he suffered from his own boomerang. Liu Kang and Kung Lao both knelt down and prayed for their ancestor.
"Great Kung Lao, we have defeated your enemy Shang Tsung and your murderer Goro. May you find peace in the after life" said Liu Kang.
Kitana walked over two them "Thank you again for assisting me. I can not find the words to express my gratitude"
Liu Kang took her hand "You are welcome Kitana. Now that Shao Kahn is gone, what will you do now?"
She smiled "My father had a dream of how he wanted Edenia and Outworld to be. I will honor his memory and make that dream a reality.
"I am sue your father would be very proud of you for doing that" he replied.
Kitana lowered her mask and kissed his cheek "Yes and I have you to thank for that."
The monk blushed and bowed to him "Thank you princess Kitana."
She walked over to the warriors of the Red Lotus society and expressed her gratitude to them.
"You warriors have fought well today. Thank you for lending us your aid."
The two warriors bowed. "You are welcome princess of Edenia. Master Bo Rai Cho had said you were a beautiful woman, and he was right" said Masao.
The compliment made her blush "Thank you for your words. Jade, maybe you should become the new ruler of Outworld. Under your rule, this realm will surely be at peace."
Jade nodded humbly and smiled "Thank you, I will rule it according to yours and your father's wish."
Masao opened the portal back to Earthrealm then took the Medallion off.
"Jade, will you return this to Master Bo Rai Cho, and tell him we said thank you?"
Jade nodded, "Yes I will"
"Thank you, Liu Kang, Kung Lao; it was an honor fighting alongside you. If you should ever need help, visit us in the academy."
"Thank you Masao, we will do that" said Liu Kang.
Masao bowed to him then shook his hand. Yoshio repeated the same gesture to Kung Lao. The portal was getting ready to close so they jumped to the portal that will lead them back to Earthrealm.
"These warriors from the Red Lotus Society are formidable warriors" said Kitana.
Liu Kang nodded "Yes, their skills would have been amazing in the tournament; perhaps someday they too will compete for future generations to come."
