I don't Own MK or the Characters
Rage and guilt. Those were the two emotions that welled up within Reese. He felt he should've been the one to go to Outworld. Not Cj. But now Reese had a reason to defeat Onaga. Reese got into his stance and charged. Jamal, and Zac could only watch. Sindel and Liu Kang's groups had also arrived to bear witness to the battle. Marquita and the two children also arrived. Taking one look at his big brother, Darrius tore from Marquita's grip and tried to run to him.
" BIG BROTHER!!!" He called out.
His run to his big brother was stopped by Scorpion who grabbed the boy by the shirt.
" What do you think you're doing? Stay back child." He hissed.
" Someone must help him! Reese cannot fight Onaga by himself!!" Said Sindel.
Liu Kang and Sub Zero stepped up. Jamal held them back.
" Don't do that. That's like selling your soul to the devil. Reese wants to handle this himself." Jamal said.
" All we can do is watch." Added Zac.
Marquita walked up behind Darrius.
" Take a look at your brother. He's fighting so you don't have to go through the same things he did in life. He lost countless people but he still continues to fight. This time he's fighting for you and his loved ones. So don't tear your eyes away. Watch your brother with pride" She told him.
Reese tried a spinning hook kick but Onaga move and socked Reese in the jaw stunning him. Then Onaga clipped Reese using his tail, then he grabbed Reese and slammed him into the ground hard enough to make a crater. Onaga then took to the sky and shot a fireball from his mouth. Reese got to his just in time to deflect it with his own blast. Onaga descended from the air only for Reese to mount an offense. Reese delivered a knee to Onaga's sternum then finished the combo with a somersault kick in the chin. Onaga took a couple of steps back. But Reese kept going with his offense. Taking Fenrir from it's harness and executed multiple slashes to Onaga. Then putting it back on the harness, Reese continued his assault. He deliver an uppercut to Onaga hard enough to knock him into the air. Reese followed pursuit assaulting Onaga with punches and kicks. Onaga fell from the sky and crashed into the same crater he knocked Reese into. Reese followed behind him fist first. And using what little power he had left he finished Onaga with a technique he mastered a while back.
" ANGEL FIST OF THE ZODIAC!!"
The move connected with Onaga sending him flying back into the air followed by a pillar of energy. When the pillar died down. Onaga crashed into the ground one last time. Reese was victorious. When Reese came out of the crater, the warriors of light cheered in applause. Jamal stumbled up to his brother.
" Now that's what I'm talking about baby." He said to his brother doing their trademark handshake. Darrius ran up to his brother and hugged him.
Reese smiled for a minute then he remembered why he won. His face changed from celebratory to sadness. Jamal did the same. Sindel looked to the group.
" Let us go inside." She told them.
The warriors of light went inside the palace. Unbeknown to them a figure walked up to the corpse of Onaga......
INSIDE THE PALACE.
Reese, Darrius, Jamal, Zac, Marquita, and Denise were in the front row of people who came to hear Queen Sindel's speech. Jax, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Frost, Jade, Raiden, and Kitana all removed their hat's and or masks out of respect.
" There is nothing good about fighting, or war. It only leads to death,anarchy, and sadness. Today we've one of our own in Cj. He was a warrior whose courage knew no bonds. He gave his life to save his friends. He will always be remembered for his heroics." Sindel tried to fight back the tears but it was no good. She finally gave in.
" I loved Cj like he was my own son. He was so loyal to his friends and allies. Reese and Jamal you two are so lucky to have known someone so amazing." She told them.
Reese and Jamal both felt the same pit in the bottom of their stomachs. Sindel wept more before continuing.
" And now in memory of our fallen comrade, I ask that you all bow your heads in a moment of silence."
Just as everyone did this. A member of Edenia's freedom fighters came charging in with a flustered look on his face.
" QUEEN SINDEL!! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!"
"What's wrong?" She asked.
" A HUGE FIRESPAWN IS CREATING HAVOC AT THE PYRAMID OF ARGUS IN THE EDENIAN RUINS!!"
Raiden's eyes grow wide. He knew what that meant.
" It's him."
Marquita glared at Raiden.
" Him who?" She asked.
" Blaze."
Liu Kang and the others were stunned at what Raiden said.
" But didn't Taven defeat Blaze?" Asked Kung Lao.
" He did but somehow Blaze survived. And he's got Onaga."
" What does Onaga have to do with Blaze?" Asked Zac.
" That I don't know about. But If Blaze combines his power with Onaga. It could spell the end of reality as we know it." Raiden said.
The warriors looked a each other.
" I'm going." Said Reese.
Jamal,and Marquita all nodded in agreement.
" Liu Kang, can I rely on your assistance?" Raiden asked.
" You didn't have to ask Master Raiden. Of course I'll go." Liu Kang answered.
The rest of the warriors agreed as well. Darrius looked at his older brother.
" Big brother I wanna go too."
" It's too dangerous for you, Darrius. You'll have to stay here with Denise.
" I'd love to go guys but after that battle with Shao Kahn. My right arm got busted up. I gotta stay behind. Don't worry I'll watch the kids." Zac said.
" Thanks Zac." Reese said.
As everyone started to go, they were stopped by Sindel. Her eyes said it all.
" I'm going with you. I will fight in Cj's place." She told them.
" But your majesty..."
" Don't worry. I'll be fine." She told her subjects.
She turned to the group and they headed for what was to be the final battle.
After awhile the group arrived at the Edenian wastelands. The new warriors stared at the pyramid with awe. The clouds in the sky were completely black and swirling around out of control. Rocks and other debris were circling the pyramid. The group of heroes were in awe of the power and destruction that laid in front of them. Atop the pyramid, the corpse of Onaga was chained down to a satanic looking star. Above the corpse was Blaze. He was surronded by dark priests as the chanted the incarnations to fuse Onaga and Blaze together. Raiden knew of the danger and he turned to the group.
" Listen to me. Wether you trust me or not. We must stop those priests!!" He told them.
With that said. Reese and Jamal led the charge to the pyramid. Marquita and the others followed behind. Raiden and Sindel exchanged words before they too entered the fray.
" What do you think of these new warriors Sindel?" Raiden asked.
" They are young, but they are powerful and valant." She replied. " I hope they are able to save the realms just as Liu Kang and his allies have down."
" Yes I agree." Raiden said to her. " Now let us make sure that they succeed."
Raiden and Sindel charged behind the warriors.
Two priests saw the heroes charging toward the pyramid and with their magic they summoned skeleton warriors to bar their path, but Reese and Jamal unsheathed their swords and cleared the way. The two brothers slashed their way through the undead warriors like a buzzsaw. The rest followed in pursuit knocking down what foul creature that the brothers may have missed. After cleaning up and making a way, they arrived at the base of the pyramid. Liu Kang turned around and saw some of the skeleton creatures getting back up to their feet.
" We may have a problem." He told the others.
Sindel turned to see the skeletons arising as well.
" Marquita, Reese, Jamal!! Leave them to us.!! You three get to the top of that pyramid!! Stop those priests!!" She told them.
" Alright Quita you heard her. Lead the way." Jamal told her.
" What??"
" We need a leader right now. Zac is injured. You know I'm not qualified to be a leader and Jamal is just too damn retarded to be a leader." Reese added.
" I agree with him. Not on the I'm retarded part."
Marquita wanted to argue but with the time ticking, she took on the role of temporary leader. As the three may their long climb Marquita devised a plan.
" Okay the real target is the priests. If we manage to take them out then we may have a fighting chance to stop Blaze from fusing with Onaga." She said.
" But what if we're too late and they fuse?" Asked Jamal.
" Then we'll do it the old fashion way. Kick every last ass on top of the pyramid." She answered.
They had arrived on top of the pyramid and began their assault. Marquita rushed at one and executed her backlash kick, kicking the priest so hard she snapped his neck.
Jamal teleported behind one and decapitated him, and Reese took Fenrir and used it like a boomerang towards the final four and sliced them in half. Then the sword flew back to Reese and he caught it and sheathed it.
" Damn where did you learn to do that?" Asked Jamal.
Reese shrugged his shoulders
" Eh..Ebay." He said sarcasticaly.
But they were too late. For the ritual was complete. Onaga's corpse and Blaze were lifted into the air. And in a blinding flash of light a new being was born. He wore Onaga's war armor and he had Onaga's tail and wings, but he was covered in fire. Sindel and Raiden looked up.
" Oh no we're too late." Sindel said.
" The ultimate being is here." Raiden said.
Blaze Onaga was born.
