Epilogue: Kung Jin
Kung Jin has always been a believer in the redemption of others. Such was his mindset, when he set out to redeem the lost and confused souls who unknowingly served under the Empire's evil influence. But his beliefs were severely tested, as he battled the Jaegers, Rakshasa Demons, and Wild Hunt.
After overcoming all obstacles and enemy forces, Kung Jin's quest culminated into a showdown with Esdeath. At this time, the young descendant of the Great Kung Lao had determine that the Icy General was well beyond redemption. Kombat was imminent, and it became certain that Esdeath would win. But fate would smile on Kung Jin this day.
At the start of the fight, Kung Jin acquired a bow-type Imperial Arm taken from the body of a fallen bystander. Using L'Arc Qui Ne Faut, combined with his skill as an archer and a shaolin, the Earthrealm warrior suppressed the General in a never-ending onslaught of arrows and martial arts.
Esdeath was overwhelmed and made to retreat when her Subordinates dragged away her weakened body. She vowed to develop her skills and kill Kung Jin, the next time they meet.
For his act of bravery against a mighty foe, and for gaining a foothold in the war to overthrow the Empire, Kung Jin was eagerly sought out by Night Raid, to join their ranks and aiding the Revolutionary Army. At first, the Shaolin warrior decline, explaining that he was no assassin, but instead he would offer his service in a different role.
Using his skills as a thief, Kung Jin infiltrated the Imperial Palace, and stole various items and intel for use in the rebellion's cause. With much study and research into the stolen materials, the Earthrealmer and his allies learned of a surefire way to bring down the Prime Minister and his cohorts, with minimal lose od life.
A planned was formed, and Night Raid geared up to follow Kung Jin in a daring raid back into the innermost quarters of the Palace. Their objective, to steal the Anti-Imperial Arm, Erastone and the key staff to Supreme Imperial Arm Shikoutazer.
The heist was a success, and two key pieces to victory fell into rebel hands.
On the day of the rebellion, Kung Jin stood at the vanguard, and watched with grim anticipation, as Esdeath charged eagerly towards him looking to settle the score and was unaware of the trap laying in wait just for her.
In no time, Esdeath laid at Kung Jin's feet, powerless, and completely at his mercy. The General looked up defiantly at her subjugator, and demanded that he finish her.
"No." was Kung Jin's reply, and instead decided to have the General taken alive, to be tried for her many crimes.
A trial was held, and the accused, Prime Minister Honest, and his cohorts, along with General Esdeath and other high-ranking military officials, were all found guilty of a vast multitude of charges. They were then summarily executed in slow inhumane ways, before sending their souls into Shinnok's amulet, to prevent the risk of being restored to the mortal plane.
The few remaining Imperial loyalists had been granted immunity from prosecution, on grounds of military subordination, while others were tried and sentenced for crimes done outside the boundaries of duty. The Jaegers Run, Wave, Kurome, Bols, along with Rakshasa Demons Mez and Suzuka, and Wild Hunt member Cosmina, have been spared and re-tasked to perform a different service. To defend the Empire from the threat of Outworld and the Netherrealm, alongside their new leader and teacher Kung Jin.
