Chapter 3: The truth of the heir is revealed.
It had been a very few months since the time of peace began, Scorpion and Sonya had began to rebuild the Shirai Ryu clan, But unknown to these two, someone would try to stand in way of that goal. The child of Quan chi, had found a way to travel to Earthrealm. One night, he had found the home of the ones who slayed his father. He could have struck at that moment, but it would have been 3-on-1, since in the house at this time was Scorpion, Sonya, their son, and Jax. The son of Quan chi was only suppose to kill Scorpion and Sonya, Jax would be a unwanted extra. So he chose to wait for the perfect to kill his targets.
The reason why Jax was here, was that Sonya had asked Jax to be the godfather of their son, he gladly accepted. Right now, the child was practicing his martial art style thast he had learned from his mother. He practiced and practiced until he became tired. He was tucked into his crib by his mother as they all went of to bed, Jax decided to stay the night. Later in the night, The son of Scorpion's nemesis chose to strike now.
When he entered, he broke in, he broke a window to get in. Now usually, Jax would jump from his sleep and investigate the noise, but Jax was sound asleep. The son of Quan chi hid in the shadows when he hear someone coming. He had gotten a good look at the person who went into the kitchen. The person he saw was Sonya. At the that moment, he chose to strike. Sonya had felt someone other than Scorpion or Jax behind and turned around to be attacked. For a while, she held her own until she missed with a punch to the head. The son of Quan chi had dealt Sonya a fetal blow. "You can live to see your husband and child die." he said as he walked away to find Scorpion. "SCORPION!!" yelled Sonya, loud enough to wake her spectre of a husband. "Who are you?" asked Scorpion. "The son of the one that you and that blonde bitch murdered." he replied. "My name is Duan Chi." the evil sorcerer said. Unknown to the three that were fighting, Jax had managed to escaped with the baby. He came to the conclusion that after Scorpion and Sonya were to die, their child would be next. As for that night, Jax would always be reminded of the death of two of his friends.
14 years later.
Jax sat on a chair on his porch of the house that was in the woods. Jax was retired from the military due to old age as he watch a young man go through some meditation katas that reminded Jax of Sonya at the prime of her life. 'Just like his mother.' he thought. "Hey Shinji, come here!" he said. "Yes, Jax?" said Shinji. "I hove something to show you and something to give you." Jax told the young man. As they went to a back room, Shinji wondered what could have to tell and show him. Jax soon stopped and opened a door and went in. He soon came out with a few number of items. A ninja sword, a pair of kali sticks, an yellow and black colored ninja outfit, and a picture of an man dressed in a oufit that look the exact same as the outfit that Jax had gotten, a blonde haired american looking woman and a small baby. "Jax, who is this a picture of?" asked Shinji. "You don't know, Shinji?" asked Jax. Shinji shook his head 'no'. "The baby in the picture is the same person holding the picture as we speak." he said.
Shinji looked at Jax with a puzzled expression on his face. "The baby is you, Shinji." Jax told him. "And that would make the two others my mom and dad?" asked Shinji. "Yes, your mother's name is Sonya blade." Jax said. "And the man wearing the Ninja suit is your father." he added. "What's his name?" asked Shinji.
"I can't tell you." said Jax as he slumped into the nearest chair as a sign that old age was catching up to him. "Why not?" asked the young man of 17 years of age. "That's one thing you have to find out your self."
said Jax. "What happened to mother and father?" asked Shinji. "They were killed one by the son of one of your father's enemies." Jax replied. Jax then told Shinji the whole story starting with what Scorpion had told him, up to the point of Sonya and Scorpion's deaths. "So that's what happened." said Shinji. "I have something to tell you." said Jax. "Your father had something he want you to do when became of age." hadded as he handed Shinji an map. "Follow the map to the Shirai Ryu Clan grounds." he said to the boy. "Yes, Jax." Shinji replied.
Shinji had packed and left to begin his journey of revenge. He soon headed the ground of his father's clan. Along the way he met some of his friends; Yuki; The daughter of Liu Kang and Kitana, Shikamura; The son of Sub-Zero and Sareena. They travelled with him, hoping to better their martial art skills. What Shinji and his friends didn't know was that members of the netherworld assassin group: The brotherhood of shadows, were following them. Hoping to do their master's bidding and get rid of the specter's brat. Also unknown to Shinji was that the villiage that was in Japan was very close to the Shirai Ryu clan grounds. Soon, He would get a gift and answers from beyond the grave.
