Epilogue: Kotal Kahn
Ruling an Empire wasn't easy, a lesson Kotal Kahn quickly learned upon usurping Outworld's throne from Mileena. The tedious burdens of politics and diplomacy would have been bliss compared to the constant kombat provided by Mileena and her rebels during his early reign. Then after that, more kombat ensued, when relations between Outworld and Earthrealm broke down.
And now, a new threat emerged from an entirely different realm. One in the form of an empire not unlike Outworld, but run by government so corrupted and depraved.
As the leader of his people, Kotal Kahn resolved to face this new threat, at the head of his own armies. Soon, he came face to face with the Empire's strongest General of the opposing army. Esdeath grinned menacingly, as she led the vanguard straight into the Osh-Tekk ruler and his forces.
In the spirit of honor and pride, the Outworld Emperor challenged the General to Mortal Kombat.
An amused and bloodthirsty Esdeath gleefully accepted Kotal Kahn's gesture, and the two engaged in kombat. The battle grew lengthy, as the Jaegers' leader had already gained the upper hand, and was simply drawing out the Kahn's struggle for her own amusement. Suffering from wounds inflicted by Esdeath, Kotal Kahn resolved to bring his opponent down with all that he had, and began to combine the power of the sun with his own blood magik. The resulting surge of power gave the Emperor enough strength to melt the General's ice, and partially scorch the area around them.
Esdeath was taken unawares from the sudden display of light and flames, and her sight returned just in time to see a dagger embedded into her chest right on her tattoo-like marking.
Shocked and in disbelief of her own defeat, Esdeath quietly mouthed someone's name, before slumping to her knees and looking up the man who killed her. Kotal Kahn looked on in grim satisfaction, as Esdeath encased herself in ice, and shattered into tiny pieces.
Everyone around stared in awe and wonder, as Kotal Kahn had succeeded in slaying the Empire's strongest. The calm was quickly shattered, as Esdeath's closest Subordinates, the Jaegers charged the injured Emperor of Outworld, with the intent of avenging their fallen Commander.
Before Kotal Kahn could be harmed, his retainers came to his defense. D'Vorah took flight and set her brood against a golden haired young man with wings. Ferra/Torr braced to meet a headon attack from a frenzied young woman with auburn hair and a large ravenous beast by her side. Reptile became invisible, and stalked a large man wielding a flamethrower weapon. Ermac converged his powers towards a teenage girl brandishing a katana as bodies began to climb out of the ground around her. And Erron Black drew his pistols and aimed at a man in black armor charging at him.
The Warriors of Outworld battled the Jaegers, as the opposing armies clashed against each other in an all out war of attrition. The fight began to lean in the Empire's favor, for even Outworld's greatest Warriors couldn't match the Jaegers' Imperial Arms.
As Kotal Kahn's forces were on the brink of annihilation, a multitude of war shouts and marching formations sounded out from the flank. All kombatants looked on in surprise, as the Revolutionary Army joined the fray. And at the head of the rebels' charge, came Night Raid to reinforce Outworld's efforts to suppress the Jaegers.
The Imperial Army was defeated, and in time the Empire's government was overthrown. Until a replacement governing body can be implemented, Kotal Kahn held the throne as a regent. His rule was harsh but not unjust, since Outworld's Emperor did not tolerate corrupted officials or scheming advisors in his court. And he knows, that if he or his own were to ever step out of line, they would have to answer a certain group of assassins of whom they owed their lives.
