The Final Battle Act II

Shang tsung saw the path to the godly energy open and just as he was about to climb up to it, something had caught his attention suddenly. Kitana noticed him readying his fighting stance but she saw horror and fear on his face and she HAD to look over to where he was looking. Out in the distant, a silhouette began to form. Kitana tried to focus with what energy she could muster and see that the figure was a man, rotting grey skin with some of it starting to fall off, black hair that was starting to fade away chunks at a time, and she saw a familiar black pant with a red hash tied to it. Kitana started to tear up. "Elders… This…. This is so much worse than I had thought…" the princess said to herself.
It was none other than Liu kang's reanimated body that was now running towards shang tsung with incredible speed. Shang tsung leaped down and close lined the mindless body as he laughed and started to make his way up the pyramid, when the undead body swung the hooks attached to his arms and threw them at the unaware sorcerer. All that could be heard was a loud scream of unimaginable pain as the lifeless body of liu kang pulled on the chains which not only killed the sorcerer from the fall of impact, but also reversed him to his old and fragile state.

Suddenly, a bright light engulfed the flames on top of the pyramid. Kitana noticed the individual at the top had a dragon mark on his right eye. It…It's Taven!" Kitana shockingly said. Suddenly an intense light shined from taven as he started to charge into battle and then there was an explosion of air and light from the release of blaze's powerful energy and everyone was knocked onto the ground knocking them unconscious.

"Hey! I found her! She's over here!" Kitana barely had enough energy left to open her eyes as she looked up trying to see who was calling out to the others. Those voices were none other than Johnny cage and Jax right beside her and Kitana mustered what strength she had to try to get his attention.

"J..Jax…? Is… is that….. You?" Jax barely heard kitana and he bent down and slowly eased her up as she came to a little bit more and saw a bit more clearly that around her was her friends from the forces of light. Kung lao, Sonya blade holding onto Johnny for support due to a fractured hip and Jax holding Kitana up while her mother Sindel and Jade on the opposite side.
Kitana smiled at the presence of everyone and she coughing a bit from exhaustion when she remembered something important.

"Wa…Wait a minute. Where's Liu Kang!?" in a panicking voice.

Jade pondered as well vouching for the princess. "Yeah, I saw him too right before the blast".

Kung looked down with his hat in his hand. "We haven't been able to find him or his body.."

Kitana started to have all too familiar feelings of being so heartbroken once again as a tear fell from her face when she saw a shadow walking towards her amongst ruined lands. Kitana started to limp towards the shadow but jade grabbed her out of fear "Kitana! Don't go!" Kitana hesitantly stepped back. When the shadow become more visable, Kitana limped over and as jade started to run to her, Sindel stopped Jade and shook her head as if to tell her to let Kitana go. Reluctantly, the general stood back frowning and watched kitana slowly limp towards the shadow. As soon as she got closer and saw who the person was, she felt her heart beating much faster out of pure happiness as she saw standing in front of her, the one and only man she has fallen in love with. Liu Kang.
He walked up to her and slowly looked into her grey eyes that were usually a beautiful shade of hazel. For a moment, Kitana and Liu just stood there holding each other's hands when Liu smiled at her.

"Well… It looks like I have my body again" He said gently while holding her hands together with his own. Kitana fell right into his arms and Liu kang looked down at her and hugged his beloved lover in his arms. Everyone else came running up to them and kitana looked behind her and saw everyone coming towards them with smiles. For the first time in many years, Kitana had a wide smile on her face that hadn't been seen in a long time.

Things looked hopeful for Kitana as she turned back to liu kang smiling down at her with his brown eyes that hypnotized her as she felt comfort just be looking at him. However, things turned for the worse as she saw right behind her newly resurrected beloved, a projectile heading right for him. She looked at the javelin that was fast approaching and without even thinking about the kind of condition she was in, Kitana tripped Liu kang causing him to fall as the javelin pierced Kitana's abdomen and it exited out of her right hip and then light green javelin vanished. Kitana then gasped and blood started to come from her throat as her eyes rolled back as she collapsed.
Liu kang who got up from being tripped was horrified and Sindel and Jade were brought to tears instantly. The bright green javelin had impailed Kitana in the stomach right through to her liver. "KITANA!" The three of them shouted together as Liu kang fell to his knees looking at the one woman the he had ever fallen so deeply in love with, now laying in a pool of blood in front of his eyes just moments of them reuniting again. Sindel held her daughter's head close and began to sob as Jade was panicking and using every ounce of energy to keep her heart going.

From amongst the dead bodies that surrounded them, everyone heard a familiar laugh that they knew only one person could make.

"Such a pity I missed my intended target. I never really was good at throwing that blasted thing anyway" Shao kahn chuckled. Everyone else ran up and surrounded the queen and jade in fighting stances, but from behind them, they felt a surge of energy that they remembered. They all looked at Liu Kang who was on his knees still but surrounding him slowly was a feint aura of flames.

"You…. You…. Bastard…" He clenched his fists and a little bit of blood started to drip "I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Liu kang slammed his fists on the ground causing the ground to shake and shatter. The powerful energy surfaced from within him. The aura from liu kang grew brighter as he fixed his gaze upon shao kahn which his friends and allies stepped out of the way.

Shao kahn laughed as he summoned his hammer to his side. "Come at me then monk! Let's see you!" Liu kang then started to run at him with such speed that before shao kahns hammer could make contact, Liu kang yelled and punched him square in the jaw and felt it snap as he sent the emperor flying into the dirt." Liu kang than straddled him and started to punch his face with a left hook followed by a right hook and he kept going despite shao kahn struggling to get up.
Liu kang's rage and hatred began to surface as his punches started to get harder and with each hit, the ground shook more and more violently. Kung lao could sense that the life force from kahn was gone, but liu kang kept wailing at his face.

Kung lao tried to grab him to get him to stop. "Liu, he's gone. He's dead" Liu kang ignored him as he let out the remaining hatred and anger out on to the brutally disfigured face and with one last punch, the ground shook harder. Liu kang stood up and the anger that had consumed him vanished.

When he regained control of his emotions, his heart sank down to whatever pit that was inside him as he ran to kitana's side. Jade had tried everything to keep her heart steady but she needed proper medical attention quickly. Liu kang wrapped his arms around her motionless body and began to water up from such emotions. Kitana barely able to stay conscious, she opened her eyes just enough to look at the man she loved and she when she spoke, her voice was so weak and broken; Liu kang was barely able to keep his composure as he smiled at his beloved.

"L…Liu? Is… is th…that you?" She just had enough strength to lean into his chest.

Jax spoke up suddenly alerting the queen. "We must get her back to the palace now!" Sindel nodded and looked at jade.

"Jade, get back to the portal and have all available medics and doctors and healers as well as the grandmaster healer standing at the ready at the portal entrance and lastly, send an emergency message to the admiral saying to send the freedom fighters."

Jade raised an eyebrow, "The freedom fighters? Why not the royal guards?."
Sindel glared at Jade with anger.

"My daughter is at the brink of death, all of our allies are wounded and need time to rest and heal and that would leave our realm in unimaginable danger from the lack of protection that we all need at the palace to recover. Now get moving Jade!" With her intructions, Jade nodded and ran into the portal that Jax had created to get things ready. Liu looked up at Queen Sindel and noticed the worried look on her face. "Come, we must get her home with haste" Liu slowly nodded with a worried look upon him. Being ever so gentle, he scooped up Kitana who was barely with them still cringes in pain as they hurried into the portal to the royal palace of edenia.
