After a long journey, Liu Kang and Reese finally made it to the Palace of Jerrod. Home of Queen Sindel and Princess Kitana. As they walked in they were met by Jax Briggs, and Sonya Blade, and Kung Lao. Liu Kang stopped and conversed with them.

"Sorry it took me so long to get back guys" He told them.

"What took you so long anyway?" Asked Sonya with her usual tough chick attitude.

"Yeah and whose the kid?" Added Jax looking Reese up and down.

"Oh yes." Said Liu Kang. He turned to Reese and introduced him.

"This is Reese. He's the one that came out of the portal. He maybe one of the prophecised warriors."

Sonya looked at Reese. "You sure about that? I mean no offense to you kid. But look at him."

"Yes but you must remember. You thought the same way about Liu Kang as well" Said Kung Lao.

"Yeah well....whatever. You gotta go see Sindel. She may know what's up." Sonya told Liu Kang.

Liu Kang then showed Reese around. The servants all stopped what they were doing and bowed to Liu Kang before continuing what they were doing.

"So they treat you like royalty here huh? Reese asked him.

"Yes. No matter how many times I ask them not to. They still bow to me like I'm some sort of hero." Liu Kang replied

"What are you talking about?" Asked Reese.

"Well for starters. I feel like I don't deserve this gratitude." Said Liu Kang smiling sadly.

At that moment in a burst of outrage, Reese grabbed Liu Kang by the shoulders and spun him around. "The hell are you taking about!?" he yelled. "You are the champion of Mortal Kombat. You've saved not only Earthrealm, but the rest of the realms. If anybody deserves to be called a hero, it would be you."

Liu Kang thought long and hard about this. Then he looked at Reese and smiled. "Maybe you're right my friend. Maybe you're right."

After a long trek through the palace, they finally arrived at the audiance chamber. There in the chamber sat Queen Sindel and her daughter Kitana and her friend Jade. Liu Kang then proceeded to bow to them. Reese on the other hand had one thing in his mind.

"Damn. They're beautiful."

Liu Kang looked up at Reese who just stood there gawk-eye, he then grabbed the young man and made him bow down. But instead of being disappionted at this lack of respect the Queen and the others actually laughed at it. When the laughter died down Sindel spoke.

"Welcome back Liu Kang. I trust you are well." She said. Her voice was one that demanded respect yet was soft and kind.

"Yes Queen Sindel. I went to the site of the portal opening like you asked me to. When I arrived at the exact location, I found this young man there. He seemed to be confused so I brought him here." He replied.

Sindel turned and looked Reese. He was looking at her but then he brought his head down again when she looked at him. She smiled at him and spoke to him as well.

"Welcome young one. I am Sindel Queen of Edenia. This is my daughter Kitana May I ask your name?"

"My name is Reese Whitley. I came here from earthrealm." He replied.

At that instant a murmur had risen up from the people that were once quiet. Sindel looked to her people for silence before speaking to Reese again.

"Could you repeat that please?" She asked.

"It's Reese Whitley." He repeated. "Is there something wrong?"

Sindel then arose from her seat and walked towards Reese. She lifted his chin so their eyes would meet. Her facial expression changed from shocked to a glimmer of hope.

"No." She said smiling. "All is well now. For you are one of five of the prophecised warriors from earthrealm would will save the realms from total annihilation!" As she said this, everyone in the palace rejoiced. Reese however wanted to hear what the prophecy said.

"I've been hearing about this prophecy all day. Sorry to be rude but I would really like to hear what it says."

"You will soon enough. But for the time being you must be tired. My servants will show you to your chambers."

Suddenly a bright light appeared. As this happened, someone from the town ran into the palace. Doing his best to speak he told them that another portal had opened. This time it was near the statue of King Jerrod.

"Or better yet, I'll go see what's gonna come out of that portal." Reese told Sindel.

She looked at him with encouragement.

"Please be careful."

Reese hurried out of the palace and charged towards the streets of Edenia to find the portal. Being thrown out of that same portal were Zac and Marquita.

"How's your ass?" Marquita asked Zac as she helped him up to his feet.

"It hurts." He replied.

"Suck it up army brat." Marquita looked around her surroundings. "Wow this place is beautiful. "Where the hell are we?"

Moments later Scorpion jumped through.

"Just as I told you, this is Edenia." Scorpion said.

Just then the three noticed a figure walking towards them. The young man was surprised. So were Marquita and Zac when he got closer to them.

"Reese?"

"What the hell are you two doing here?" He asked them.

"I was wondering the same thing." Marquita told him.

"And Scorpion brought you here? Damn this is getting even weirder than I thought. And I supose another portal is gonna open and C.J and Jamal will jump out of it."

Just as he said that, a portal opened and C.J and Jamal jumped out of it. Along with Sub Zero. Reese smiled and thought to himself.

"Damn I'm good."

"S'up, big bro" Said Jamal as he greeted Reese doing their trademark handshake. CJ followed pursuit

"What the hell you doin here?" Cj asked.

"Still trying to figure that part out." Reese replied. "I'm guessing that you guys are part of the prophecy as well."

"Yeah Sub-Zero said that to me and CJ when he saved our asses and a village from a horde of tarkatas" Said Jamal

"Scorpion said the same thing to us" Marquita added.

Then Zac finally spoke.

"It seems like we were all sent here for a purpose. I for one would like to hear about this prophecy." He said.

"Yeah. I would too." Said Marquita, but then she jerked her thumb backwards. "But what are we going to do about them?"

The group looked at Scorpion and Sub Zero. They all knew of the fierce past between these two. Sub-Zero's older brother killed Scorpion, but in the first Mortal Kombat tournament, Scorpion returned and killed the elder.

"Yo, this seems really awkward." Said Cj.

"It seems you are well Lin Kuei warrior." Scorpion hissed.

"Same to you. Netherealm spectre." Sub-Zero spoke. "Have you gotten stronger?"

"YOU TELL ME!"

The two warriors jumped into their fighting stances but before these two could go blow for blow, Marquita stepped inbetween them. Then Jamal grabbed Sub-Zero and Reese grabbed Scorpion.

"Okay now. Let's bring the testerone level down a bit shall we?" She asked.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero exchanged glances before both agreeing.

"Now let's get back to the Palace. Queen Sindel's probably worried." Said Reese.

The seven warriors journeyed to Sindel's Palace.
