Chapter 99 Origins part 3

It's been a month since Dormammu was killed and his pawns were stopped. Tomorrow would be the day Sean would be in the Mortal Kombat tournament for the very first time in his life like. However Sean, Raiden and Strange had noticed something odd during the last month. Every person who knew magic was being killed off one by one. No one could figure out who was doing this but there was one thing they all had in common.

They all used to be from Kamar-Taj so whoever was killing them all had to have known them in order to find and kill them.

Sean had suspected whoever was killing these magic users had some sort of agenda. He had tried to locate Mordo but for some reason he was unable to and guessed he did not want to be found for obvious reasons since the man was set in his ways of balance.

Currently Sean was sparing against Frank Castle who was using his weapons against him but they proved to be useless before Sean wrapped his chain around him and slammed him down on the ground.

"Ouch." Frank said before chuckling. "Not bad kid. Definitely not the same runt who I knew five years ago." Frank said making Sean chuckle.

"Yeah well things change. So how's the wife and kids?" Sean asked sitting down.

"Pretty good. My wife is still surprised Russo turned on us." Frank said.

"Thats makes two of us. Still he wasn't entirely guilty since he wanted no part in what happened." Sean said.

Next day

Sean stood in front of the gate of Outworld's arena before he and Frank walked in.

"Been a long time since I've been here." Sean said.

"Oh yeah? When was that?" Frank asked.

"About 6 years ago. One of Kahn's old enemies came back to reclaim his throne but the Military held him back. Onaga was never seen again. Some say he's dead. I know differently. He's out there somewhere." Sean said as they walked into the center of the arena where Raiden and two others around Sean's age were at.

"Ah there you are." Raiden said.

"Had to find a decent sitter to watch my sisters." Sean said.

"Allow me to introduce to you to Liu Kang and Kung Lao students of the academy." Raiden said introducing them.

"A pleasure." Sean said shaking their hands.

"Like wise. Raiden spoke highly of you." Liu Kang said.

"After killing Dormammu of all beings I wouldn't be surprised." Sean said as others arrived.

Soon enough Shao Kahn emerged along with Sindel who both sat on the throne chair. However Shao Kahn's eyes landed on Sean and was surprised he was with the contestants.

However Shang Tsung then showed up to address the crowd.

"Kombatants. I am Shang Tsung. You have all been summoned here to the Mortal Kombat Tournament to decide once again who is the strongest among the realms. Understand there may be deaths involved including your own. If any wish to withdraw now is the time." Shang Tsung said.

While he was taking Kitana, Jade, Mileena, Skarlet and Sheeva approached Sean from behind.

"Sean? What are you doing here?" Kitana asked.

"Here to fight of course. Why else would I be here?" Sean asked.

"You are not a fighter you said so yourself." Jade said.

"Lets just say thats no longer case. Things have changed in the last 3 months." Sean said before the tournament began.

"Our first match will be. Reptile vs...Sean Ashburn Kruger?" Shang Tsung said in surprise before both stepped into the arena.

"Raiden you need to stop him." Kitana said.

"I understand your concern but much has changed since Tom and Mara's death. Sean is a capable warrior who is capable of making his own choices." Raiden said.

Round 1 fight! (Picture the voice from the Mortal Kombat 9 game when a match began)

Reptile made the first move by camouflaging himself before he snuck him behind Sean but he just grabbed him by the throat much to his surprise.

"Nice try." Sean said giving him a powerful uppercut that sent him into the air before crashing down and then Sean wrapped his chain around him before spinning around before slamming him down out cold.

"Impressive." Shang Tsung said.

"Come on Reptile I thought you were a better fighter then this." Sean said amused making him wake up and growl in annoyance before spitting acid at him but Sean quickly dodged and rushed at him.

"Where is this coming from?" Kitana asked in surprise since Sean's never been one to fight.

"I had him train in Kamar-Taj to heal and control his new found powers." Raiden said.

"What powers?" Jade asked.

Sean slamed Reptile back into the ground before throwing him into the wall completely out of it before he fell down face first.

"Not really much of a challenge since I know to expect from the likes of you." Sean said before going back to the others.

"Not bad kid." Frank said making him smirk.

"Our next match will be Frank Castle vs Baraka." Shang Tsung said as the Tarkatan walked into the arena.

"I will enjoy this greatly." Baraka said.

(Skip fight. I'm mostly going to be doing Sean's fights)

"Yeah nice try." Frank said standing over Baraka with only a small few scratches on him.

"Very impressive." Liu Kang said.

However what no one noticed was a small red mist heading straight for Sean before it touched him and Sean's eyes flashed red for a moment before groaning in pain holding his head which Kung Lao and Liu Kang noticed.

"You alright?" Kung Lao asked.

"Uh yeah. Don't know where that came from." Sean said

"Our next match will be Liu Kang vs Kintaro." Shang Tsung said as the four armed fur version of Shokan appeared into the ring.

"Humans. Less ugly when they burn." Kintaro said.

"Of fuck you." Sean said getting a few laughs from everyone.

(Skip fight)

"A most impressive battle." Liu Kang said with a bow.

"Lets make the next fight more interesting shall we? Sean vs Goro." Shang Tsung said before the strongest Shokan entered the arena.

"I never once thought the two of us would battle. Try to make this interesting little one." Goro said in amusement making Sean chuckle.

Round 1 FIGHT!

"Funny I was about to say the same to you." Sean said before Goro immediately charged at him but Sean quickly jumped and wrapped his chain around his neck making him gaps in shock before Sean slammed him down hard.

Goro growled before trying to grab him but Sean quickly dodged.

"You know theres a saying. The bigger they are." Sean said before throwing his chain at him which ended up hitting him in the chest making him grunt before falling backwards. "The harder they fall." Sean said in amusement before his eyes flashed red again making him groan in annoyance before he started swinging his chain around.

"Hmm?" Raiden said noticing the change in his eyes for the briefest second.

"What is it?" Kung Lao asked.

"There is great evil nearby. And I sense someone is after him for his power." Raiden said keeping a close eye on him.

Sean used his new found strength to lift Goro up into the air which surprised many beofre he slammed him back down.

However for some reason Sean's eyes turned red again but stayed that way as he pulled out a knife.

"Sean? What are you doing?" Goro asked in shock.

"Just having some fun." Sean said about to stab him in the head but stopped. "What?" Sean said beofre holding his head in pain and started screaming.

"Something's wrong." Raiden said before a black mist came out of Sean's mouth before landing on the ground before it took shape and in the form of someone who made Raiden narrow his eyes in anger. "Mephisto." Raiden said as the devil himself emerged making him chuckle in amusement.

"I'm rather shocked his will is still intact. But then again you Krugers certainly always were very stubborn. I guess I'll just have to take your power by force." Mephisto said before Sean glared at him.

"Come and try it! AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sean yelled as he turned into his white flaming Ghost Rider state which shocked many who didn't know.

"That power will be mine boy." Mephisto said charging at him only for Sean to punch him in the face hard which broke several teeth due to the straight behind the punch.

"My power will never be used by the likes of you or anyone else like you." Sean said before multiple explosions occurred around the arena before several Outworld warriors of unknown origin appeared.

"What is the meaning of this?" Shao Kahn said in outrage before someone dropped down in the center of the arena. Someone they were all to familiar with.

"Onaga." Raiden said as the Dragon king stood before everyone in his former glory.

"Shao Kahn. You stole my throne from me so long ago! And now you've disgraced yourself by allying yourself and Outwolrd with EarthRealm instead of conquering and merging the realm as I would." Onaga said making him frown.

"I find allying Outworld with other realms instead of merging them has greater benefits. And you are no longer fit to be Emperor of Outworld." Shao Kahn said grabbing his Warhammer.

"Which is why I'll take my throne back after I kill you and everyone who's loyal to you! Starting with the boy!" Onaga said trying to blast Sean but he just dodged the attacks before Mephisto tried to grab him but was kicked back.

"Yeah fuck you!" Sean yelled throwing a fireball at him making him growl in annoyance.

(Insert Tidel wave from Transformers Armada video game soundtrack)

Mephisto continued his assault trying to steal Sean's power but suddenly Sean grabbed him by the neck and Sean delivered a vicious punch to the face making him roar in rage before Sean threw him into the wall.

Meanwhile everyone started fighting Onaga's army.

Sean turning back into the Ghost Rider roared at Mephisto and he tried to grab him again but Sean wrapped his chain around him and swung him around before slamming him down on the ground hard.

"YOU! You think a mere child can defeat a ruler of hell?" Mephisto said laughing before Sean grabbed him by the neck.

"I think if I can kill Dormammu I can easily kill you." Sean said making his eyes widen in shock before Sean threw him into the air making him scream. "GO! TO! HELL!" Sean yelled before slamming him back down into hell making him scream before his body was destroyed Ending the life of the devil himself making Sean roar into the air before he was attacked by a blast of magic making him growl before coming face to face with a mage who had a robe on with his face covered.

"You just can't help yourself by unbalancing the world can you?" The mage asked before creating ice from his hands.

"You sound like a friend of mine who can't see the bigger picture." Sean said before creating two fireballs in his hands before they charged at each other.

Sean had to keep jumping away from this mage who continued his assault on him but Sean being trained in combat was able to dodge each and every attack.

"Outworld is the cause of so much unbalance in Earth Realm. The very reason there are far too many sorcerers. With Onaga back on the throne Earth can finally be balanced!" The mage yelled.

"You are a nut job! Onaga will invade Earth Realm and merge us with Outworld. Shao Kahn respects us unlike him!" Sean yelled before grabbing a spear and threw it at his side which penetrated making him yell in pain.

"Be that as it may Earth will finally be balanced once again. But before that Shao Kahn must die!" The mage yelled before Sean shoved a sword into his chest making him gasp in pain before Sean turned human again.

"Shao Kahn is a friend and ally of Earth. I will never turn my back on him or my friends. I don't know what fucked up life you had that put you on this path but it was the wrong one." Sean said before rushing off to help Shao Kahn.

Above the Arena

Onaga laughed in satisfaction as Shao Kahn was on his last legs as somehow Onaga was stronger then last time.

"I would have waited till Armageddon for this very moment. Outworld is mine once more. And you Shao Kahn will be my slave." Onaga said making him growl before looking behind him and chuckled which made him frown. "Whats so funny?" Onaga asked before he was tackled off the to the center of the arena by Sean before he slammed him down hard.

"Remember me?" Sean asked making him growl and tried to force him off but Sean just slammed his fist into his face making him grunt in pain before Sean jumped off. "You attacked the home of some of my friends and tried to cease control for Outworld for selfish reasons. I can never tolerate this." Sean said turning back into the Ghost Rider making him growl.

Sean wrapped his chain around him before they started to burn him alive.

"The flames will judge you for the crimes of the past. And your soul will rot in the bowls of hell for all eternity." Sean said as Onaga started to scream feeling his body being consumed by the flames till.

"AHHH! AHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!" Onaga screamed in horror before he exploded.

(insert the Arcade ending voice from Mortal Kombat 9)

Though Sean had defeated both Mephisto and Onaga something was troubling him greatly about the mage from before. To his shock and horror the mage turned out to be none other than Mordo who after leaving Kamar-Taj had begun to kill off every Mage he could find in order to balance the world in his vision. Filled with Regret and remorse for his actions Sean's will was nearly shattered for harming another he had called friend. All of Raiden's work to fix the damage had been undone.

A couple days after the Tournament was over Raiden had suggested that Sean enter the Wu-Shi academy in order to heal once more. However to everyone surprise Sean had disappeared shortly after he returned to Earth Realm.

Everyone had searched for 2 agonizing weeks to find him but not a single clue was found.

Believing that the Twins might also be in danger Lane and Ross suggested placing them in a secure location.

However once they entered the house they had found Sean alive and unharmed and back to his old self. Demanding an explanation he had simple told them that he had met a man who understood his lose and had helped him heal once again and set him down on the path of justice.

A month after the Tournament was over Global Tech was finally finished and Sean had given orders to Every Rider that turned up current and new. His will from that day forward was unbreakable. Those who would dare to spill innocent blood for pure amusement and selfish gain would meet the fury of the Riders.

Present time

"HOLY SHIT!" Leon said in amazement making Sean chuckle.

"I'm still not proud of killing Mordo but it had to be done." Sean said.

"Who exactly was this person you met that helped you heal?" Tarken asked in interest.

"That is a secret since if I told you I can predict more than half of you would stop at nothing to find him. Besides I don't know where he is or what he's doing. Just leave it be." Sean said.

Later In Miami

Sean had entered the Police station of Maimi before getting on top of a desk.

"YO!" Sean yelled getting everyone's attention. "I'm looking for the Jackass known as Mike Lowry." Sean said before an African American man approached him making Sean jump down.

"Jackass huh?" The person asked before punching him in the face making him groan while everyone looked on in shock.

"Ok...I might have deserved that." Sean said before looking at him again before both smiled at each other pulling each other into a hug and laughed.

"How you doing buddy!" Mike said while everyone was relieved that nothing bad was actually happening.

"I haven't seen you in almost 7 years. Look good." Sean said before another African American man approached them.

"Mike! Are you out of your mind! Do you not know who this is?" The person asked in shock.

"Oh relax Marcus. Sean and I go way back during High school. Sean this is my partner Marcus." Mike said.

"A pleasure." Sean said shaking his hand. "I take it Mike has gotten you into some trouble before." Sean said making him snicker.

"You could say that." Marcus said.

"Hey." Mike said insulted making them laugh. "So what brings you by man?" Mike asked.

"Oh nothing much. Just decided to visit for a while. Having no powers is almost like a vacation...Almost." Sean said making him chuckle.
