Chapter 12: Shinnok's downfall

Shinnok laughed as his power began to grow. He summoned a large skull hand and grabbed Sareena so she couldn't interfere. Then he levitated towards the bothers and punched them into a wall. He summoned more skull hands and tossed them aside. Sub-Zero stood up and tried to fight with Shinnok, He exchanged punches and kicks with him but he was still no match for him. Sub-Zero was hit with a three punch combo and knock back into a wall. Noob Saibot tried to attack Shinnok but was suffered the same attack his younger brother did.

"We need to get amulet from him. That is where he draws his power" said Sub-Zero.

"I supposed you have a plan to do so?" asked Noob Saibot.

Smoke had finished defeating some of the demons and caught up to Sub-Zero and the others. He overheard Sub-Zero say that the amulet was where he drew his power from. Smoke vanished so that Shinnok wouldn't notice him. Shinnok summoned more skull hands and raised Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot above.

"Now the two of you will die together."

Smoke yanked the amulet from behind him and soon Shinnok started to grow vulnerable. He kicked Smoke backwards after noticing that he took the amulet from him. The Skull hands had disappeared and Sareena was free as well.
"Now Shinnok you will pay!"

Sareena took out her daggers and threw them at Shinnok he dodges some of them but was stabbed in the arm by one of them. Smoke stood back up and shot one of his smoke clouds at Shinnok that temporarily subdued him. This allowed time for Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot to recover and make their next move. Noob Saibot felt his hands grow cold and just like his brothers, they were surrounded by ice. His ice powers have finally returned to him.

The two brothers stood back up and shot their ice balls at him. They covered him up in ice and made Shinnok could not go any where. Noob Saibot moved in to finish him off.

"Now Shinnok, it is time to die." He jammed his hand into Shinnok's back and pulled out his spine and tossed it aside. Sub-Zero shot an Ice grenade and blew up the rest of his body. The former elder god and lord of the Netherrealm had been destroyed. Sektor, Cyrax and the others had rejoined the others and saw that Shinnok was dead.

Raiden and Fujin appeared before them. Both of them had smiles on their faces.

Raiden decided to speak "Sub-Zero, you have brought together former members of the Lin Kuei and together you have defeated both Quan Chi and Shinnok. The elder gods are pleased."

"Sub-Zero and the others bowed down to Raiden and Fujin "Thank you thunder god."

"As reward for defeating both of them, the elder gods have agreed to return your brother back to normal. We will restore him right now" said Fujin

Raiden and Fujin chanted a spell and shot a beam of light into Noob Saibot. His body was surrounded by the aura and it took over him. When it had settled, his body dropped to the ground and he woke up.

"Now, remove your mask" said Raiden.

Noob Saibot removed his mask and saw that he was human once again His arms were still surrounded by ice.

"Thank you for resurrecting me thunder god" said Noob Saibot.

Sub-Zero thought about Scorpion "Raiden, what had become of Scorpion?"

Raiden smiled "He has been resurrected as well along with his clan the Shirai Ryu. Ermac's souls were used for some of his ninjas and now Ermac has one soul left in him. We returned them back to Japan and Scorpion also wanted me to tell you that he no longer has a vendetta against you and wishes you peace. Lin Kuei now that you have saved the world from Shinnok's grasp, enjoy the peace you have earned" said Raiden.

Raiden and Fujin teleported back to the heavens. Sub-Zero was happy to have his brother as well as members of his clan returned to him. Rain had also decided to stay among their ranks. Their first order of business was to rebuild their stronghold and forces. The Brotherhood of Shadow had become a branch off the Lin Kuei and Noob Saibot was a Co Grandmaster along with his brother. They met with Scorpion and Ermac and had made a peace treaty with the Shirai Ryu. From that moment on, both clans swore to keep Earthrealm safe from anymore opposing danger.
