Hi everyone your support has just been great I honestly thought I would get a load of hate killing of two popular characters. But it has been all positive. Here is the next chapter.
(At the Training Camp, Kitana is training on her own when Liu Kang enters).
Liu Kang: it's you.
Kitana: yeah, listen I'm sorry about Kung la...
Liu Kang: Don't mention his name, you have no idea how I'm feeling right now.
Kitana: Really, (Sounding angry). I know exactly how you feel right now. I knew Jade my whole life, we were raised, trained and fought together. She was the closest thing to a sister I ever had.
Liu Kang: I'm sorry. But look on the brightside you have won.
Kitana: What do you mean?
Liu Kang: Even if I beat Reptile someone is going to face Goro. If my grandfather couldn't beat him what chance does anyone have.
Kitana: Your grandfather is Ki Lang?
Liu Kang: The one that almost beat Goro, yes.
Kitana: That must be a tough burden.
Liu Kang: You have no idea.
Kitana: All my life, I have been looked down by my father. You see, I too know what it's like to have family issues. But I became something. Something that didn't take any shit from people.
Liu Kang: Thank you Princess
(Earthrealm camp all earthrealmers except Liu Kang).
Raiden: I am worried for Liu Kang he never goes off like that.
Jax: He just lost his best friend give the guy some space.
Kenshi: Maybe it has something to do with his grandfather.
Johnny Cage: Grandfather?
Raiden: Kenshi, Liu Kang does not wan't anyone to know about this.
Kenshi: What he doesn't know can't hurt him. (Liu Kang walks on)
Liu Kang: Unless of course he does know.
Kenshi: Liu Kang I, I.
Liu Kang: it's ok my friend. I guess I have to tell it now cause these three are interested.
(While Liu Kang talks there is a flashback to 50 years ago).
Liu Kang narrator: it was the last mortal Kombat tournament. It was a tiebreaker and my grandfather Ki Lang was taking on Goro. He was so close to winning, however just before finishing him off he decided not to kill him. He thought that killing that monster was not honourable. This gave Goro the edge, while he wasn't looking Goro stabbed him in the back making outworld only one victory away from merging with earthrealm.
(Back to present day)
Liu Kang: My family name has been tainted ever since.
Sonya: That's got to be a tough burden.
Liu Kang: Kung Lao always told me that despite losing my Grandfather, he kept his honour in tact. Now Kung Lao is gone.
Raiden: He was right your grandfather was an honourable man, to the end.
Johnny Cage: Does sound like a great guy in my book.
Liu Kang: I don't know. I feel like he could have been better.
Raiden: Ki was always a great man. However to me he was more than that, he was a great friend.
Liu Kang: I I... (Liu Kang walks out)
Raiden: I hope you find peace within yourself, my friend.
Jax: Do you think he will pull through.
Raiden: I hope so for all our sakes.
(Small scene when Liu Kang is sleeping and having a nightmare about his grandfather can be seen being taunted by Goro, Shang Tsung and Ermac. Suddenly Wakes up).
Thank You for reading. I teased this backstory at the beginning of this fan fic. I am not to sure if you all like it hope you do. The reason why I wanted to include this is that Liu Kang to me was always the strait up good guy. He never really had much of a character to me. Much like the batman villain Mr freeze who used to be just a guy with an ice gun. Until the animated series gave him a brand new backstory which added a new dimension to the character. (I know I am never gonna get the same impact though).
