Welcome all all to my next chapter in this story. This is one I am sure you have been looking forward to. As you know Liu Kang is the champion of mortal kombat. And this chapter will show us why that is.

(Outside next day).

Shang Tsung: Welcome combatants to the final round of the tournament. The fight will be Liu Kang versus Reptile. (Both go into the centre). Liu Kang if you lose this fight then outworld will be free to absorb earthrealm.

Liu Kang: I am aware of the consequences.

Shang Tsung: Very well the tournament will conclude now, fight. (Both fight but Liu Kang beats reptile easy).

Liu Kang: I would kill you but that is not why I am here.

Shang Tsung: With the score at four victories to four we go to our tie breaker. One combatant will face the reigning champion for a chance to fight in the final battle. (All earthrealm warriors stand in a circle).

Kenshi: I feel tha...

Liu Kang I'm going. (Everyone looks at him)

Jax: Liu are you sure tha..

Liu Kang: (visibly angry). I am going. And I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch.

Raiden: I cannot stop you from going but heed my advice. Don't let emotion get the better of you. (Liu Kang ignores him).

Shang Tsung: Have you decided who will face him.

Liu Kang: I will. (Shang Tsung laughs).

Shang Tsung: Well this is interesting isn't it. The grandson of the last man to think he could take on Goro.

Liu Kang: Take me to him, now.

Shang Tsung: Very well. (Shang Tsung teleports him to Goro's lair).

(At Goro's lair)

Liu Kang: Where are you monster. (Goro laughs and then walks on).

Goro: Your smell (sniffs) You are related to the last warrior I faught at this tournament.

Liu Kang: And damn proud of it. I know you cheated to win.

Goro: I never cheat. I just saw an opportunity and I took it. (Goro punches Liu Kang, he dodges).

Liu Kang: You are a liar and you are going to die today. (Liu Kang and Goro fight. Liu Kang wins).

Goro: Go ahead finish me. (Liu Kang remembers Raiden words)

Raiden: (flashback narration) remember don't let emotion get in the way

Liu Kang: No. Killing you won't accomplish anything. (Liu Kang walks away when Goro tries to stab him. Liu Kang deflects it away then punches him). I gave you a chance but you didn't take it. This time I won't let it slide. (Liu Kang kills Goro. Liu Kang then walks over to the portal).

(Back at the outside everyone is waiting when suddenly Liu Kang appears).

Shang Tsung: Impossible.

Liu Kang: I believe that the tournament has yet to be concluded.

Shang Tsung: Very well. The tournament will be con... decided in four hours time.

(Back at Earthrealm camp).

Jax: So what happens now?

Raiden: All the remaining Warriors will fight Shang Tsung in the final round.

Johnny Cage: All right I have been waiting to get my hands on that bastard for a while now.

Raiden: I am sorry Johnny Cage but you have already been eliminated you cannot take part.

Johnny Cage: but...

Sonya: Don't worry we'll take him down.

Kenshi: I just can't believe it.

Jax: What?

Kenshi: One fight. One fight will decide everything.

Liu Kang: no pressure then.

Raiden: Know this. You have all come so far since we met. Whatever happens just remember I am proud of you all.

So we are getting near the end now. I have already started writing the final fight and it is long so it will probably be split up into two parts. As always if you liked this review and favioute. Thanks very much.
