"Outside The Ying Fortress, The Heroes Were Devastated After Realising That Shang Tsung, Quan Chi & Slone Have Activated The Soul Stealers."
Sam: Whoa, You weren't kidding about this.
Chelsea: This is bad.
Elli: Yep.
Kara: Come on, We've gotta stop them.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"In The Fortress, Shang Tsung Has The Crown Full of Fragments of Souls, While Slone, Anti-Matter & Quan Chi Stand Beside Him."
Shang Tsung: We are ready.
Quan Chi: And the soul stealers?
Anti-Matter: They're already operational.
Slone: Don't worry, those heroes won't destroy them now.
Shang Tsung: Keep them running. I am sure we'll find a use for the collected souls.
"The Villains Then Enter Deep In The Mountain, Leaving The Guards, However, The Heroes Had Manage To Take Guards Down One-By One, They Manage To Sneak Past Them, When They Spot The Soldiers."
Sam: I gotta admit, That's a lot of guards.
Mileena: Will they stand down, if ordered?
Sindel: No. Those are the General's most loyal lieutenants.
Tomas: They must be neutralized if we are to shut down the soul stealers.
Liu Kang: Yes they do. We should split up.
Kara: Agreed.
The Heroes: Right.
"The Heroes Then Charge In And Fight The Soldiers, While Mileena, Elli, Tanya & Chelsea Focus On Shutting Down The Soul Stealers, However, They Were Confronted As He Lifts The Debris With His Dark Magic."
Tanya: Stay behind me, Princess.
Mileena: No. We fight together.
Elli: Incoming!
"Ermac Throws The Debris At The Heroes, But They Dodge It With Ease, However, One Debris Hits Them, He Then Uses Dark Magic To throw them into a wall on the roof of the fortress, However, Tanya was unable to get up as the heroes to check up."
Chelsea: you alright?
Mileena: What's wrong?!
Tanya: Guh! My ribs. They may be broken.
"Before the heroes help Tanya, Ermac catches up to them, leaving them no choice but to fight him."
Tanya: Help me up.
Mileena: No, Tanya. Stay down. This time, I protect you.
"Mileena & Chelsea Then Confront Ermac As They Get Ready For A Fight. Leaving Elli To Help Tanya."
Ermac: We are Ermac. It is pointless to resist us.
Mileena: Come any closer and you'll feel the points of my blades.
Chelsea: Yeah, You ghostly freak!
Ermac: We are many, you are one. Your souls will become part of our collection.
"The Heroes Then Battle Ermac, However, Chelsea Manages To Stop Ermac From Using His Dark Magic, Which Mileena Beats Him Up, She Then Knocks Him Down. He Manages To Get Up But Becomes Enraged."
Mileena: You have no chance of taking my soul.
"Ermac Charges At Mileena, But Chelsea Had Manage To Stop Him, Using Her Lasso of Truth, She Slams Him To The Wall, After That, She Slams Him To The Ground, She Then Pulls Him Here And Throws Him To Mileena, Which She K.O. Kicks Him."
Chelsea: Looks like you're done for.
Mileena: You'll have no part of me, Ermac.
"Chelsea & Mileena Rush In To Help Tanya."
Tanya: Amazing, Mileena. In another life, you and Chelsea could have been Umgadi.
Chelsea: Not in the latest.
Mileena: I prefer this one, dearest Tanya.
Elli: Uhh, Guys?
"The Heroes Then See Ermac Struggling To Maintain Control, But Something Is Already Happening To Him."
Mileena: We must leave. Quickly!
Unknown Voice: Mileena. Wait.
"Mileena Turns Around, She Soon Realises Something With Ermac."
Milleena: Father?
"The Heroes Then Get Confused By That Voice In A Second, When They Turn Around, They Suddenly Realised That Unknown Spirit Has Full Control Over Ermac, It's Mileena's Father, Emperor Jerrod."
Mileena: Father? Is it truly you?!
Jerrod: Yes, Mileena. This body was created from the Living Forest's souls. Mine was one of them. Your attack broke the spell that binds us. Now I am in control.
Mileena: Father!
"Mileena Runs To Jarrod And Hugs Him, However, He Soon Notices That Tanya Is Umgadi Now."
Jerrod: You are Umgadi, but not Li Mei.
Tanya: I replaced her after your death, Your Majesty. She left the order rather than accept punishment.
Jerrod: Punishment? It was not her fault.
Mileena: A discussion for another time, Father. We must go.
"Before They Could Meet Up With Liu Kang, Sam Flies up As He Checks On Chelsea & Mileena."
Sam: Chelsea, I thought we were done for and I thought Earthrealm is doomed and—-
"Sam Gets Shocked Seeing Jarrod In Control, Thanks To The Attack That Broke Quan Chi's Spell. He Lands In Front of The Emperor."
Sam: Holy moly.........
Jerrod: You are Green Lantern, But not Anthony Vaughan.
Sam: Well......The ring chose me after he was gone......I protect every sector now that I'm a hero.
Jerrod: Protect every sector? Only a master Green Lantern can protect every sector.
Chelsea: It's a long story, your majesty.
Elli: Come on, we gotta meet up with the others.
Sam: Supergirl has already entered the mountain, that's where the dragon army's hidden within.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"At The Entrance, Liu Kang And The Other, With Jarrod By Their Side, They Land In Front of The Other Heroes, However, Kitana Runs To Jerrod And Hugs Him."
Sam: Hey, Empress Sindel, Guess who we found.
"Sindel Becomes Shock To See His Husband Alive."
Sindel: Jerrod?!
Jerrod: Yes, Sindel. It's me.
"Sindel Runs To Jerrod And Hugs Him, Overjoyed That His Late Husband Is Alive."
Sindel: How I've missed you.
"Sindel & Jerrod Embrace Each Other Warmly, To Liu Kang's Surprise."
Liu Kang: Greetings, Jerrod.
Jerrod: Liu Kang, my friend. We meet again.
Liu Kang: It is good to have you back. We once again find ourselves in challenging circumstances.
Jerrod: And once again we will prevail.
"Jerrod Turns To See Sindel, Which He Is Ready To Fight By Her Side And The Superhero Knights."
Jerrod: As always, Sindel, I am yours to command.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"Deep In The Mountains, The Dragon Warrior Statues Begin Training In A Dragon Fighting Style, In Order For Shang Tsung, Slone, Quan Chi & Anti-Matter To Conquer Both Earth-Prime & Earth-SN9, Thankfully, The Heroes Had Managed To Sneak In And Hide Behind The Statues."
Mileena: How is it they're unaware that the soul stealers are shut down?
Tomas: We are deep within the mountain. From here, they couldn't tell.
Liu Kang: Look at them conspiring. It is history we should not be repeating.
Kuai Liang: We must take the crown. Without it, he can't raise more warriors.
Sindel: Our odds will improve if we can surround them.
Mileena: I'll distract them while the rest of you get into position. Leave it to me, Mother.
"Mileena Then Comes Out of Hiding To Confront The SuperVillain Rogues, Which She Pretends That She Brings News That Shao Is Emperor."
Mileena: Shang Tsung.
Shang Tsung: Princess Mileena?
Mileena: I bring news from Outworld. Sindel is deposed. General Shao now rules.
Shang Tsung: And yet you are still free?
Mileena: To succeed, the General needed help on the inside. I provided it.
Slone: Well that became easy.
Anti-Matter: Guess she won't be a pain in the neck after all.
Quan Chi: The heir to the throne gives it up willingly?
Mileena: Ha! It's a burden I've never wanted. The realm is better left in General......Emperor Shao's hands.
Shang Tsung: A most mature perspective. Outworld benefits from your wisdom.
Mileena: Yes, Shang Tsung, it does......But not in the manner that you expect.
Anti-Matter: What?
Slone: Oh? And why is that?
"A Red Blur Zooms In And Smashes The 4 Dragon Statues, Which The Heroes Charge In And Battle The Supervillain Rogues, Fortunately, When Anti-Matter Battles Liu Kang, He Kicks The Villain Down, Right Before A Breach Opens, He Falls Through And It Closes, Leaving Slone Enraged & Shang Tsung Annoyed."
Slone: You are gonna pay for that!
Shang Tsung: A bold gambit, Princess. It is an impressive display of guile. Who knew she was so capable?
Mileena: You count yourselves among my doubters? I will count you among the dead.
"Mileena & Shang Tsung Clash In Kombat, Leaving Only Kara To Stop Slone."
Kara: I've been waiting a long time for a fight.
Slone: I'd promised Shang Tsung to only let him kill you for the first time, all though I do intend to do so—-
"Shang Tsung Gets knocked Down, Which Slone Gets Distracted By That, Mileena Then Knocks Her Gun Off Her Hand, Which She Tries To Surrender."
Slone: Nevermind! I take it back!
Mileena: Your betrayal will be punished. Do not expect leniency.
Slone: YOU!
"Slone Tries To Attack Mileena, But Her Skill Proved Weak As Mileena Counters It And Kicks Her Down, Shang Tsung Then Tries To Attack Kara, But They Clash In Kombat."
Kara: I guess Slone kept that as promised.
Shang Tsung: And I will be the first to aid her in proving herself to the ultra-rogues. By simply killing you. You will never be a hindrance to our plan, as you were for the last time.
"Shang Tsung Tries To Use His Kryptonite Claws Again To Attack Her, But Mileena Disarms Him, Which Kara Charges In And Punches Him, Knocking Him Down And Leaving The 2 Heroes In Triumph Victory."
Kara: It's Over.
Mileena: There will be consequences for forsaking Outworld.
"Shang Tsung Then Tries To Use The Crown, But He Realises That Kara Knocked It Off His Head, Leaving Him & Slone Defenceless Without It, While Liu Kang Regroups With Kara & Mileena."
Liu Kang: Thanks to Kara and the Princess, this fight is ended.
Shang Tsung: The fight, perhaps. Not the battle.
Liu Kang: True. Until your benefactor is caught, the realms remain threatened. Who is she, sorcerer?
"Suddenly, Slone & Shang Tsung Notice The Green Glow From The Crown, Which They Smirk And Maniacally Chuckle."
Shang Tsung: Speaking of which. Liu Kang. Supergirl.
Slone: meet Damashi.
Kara: What?
Liu Kang: Damashi?!
"Suddenly, The Sands Begin Forming Around As The Crown Is Being Lifted, The Sands Reveal A Figure, Another Shang Tsung That Liu Kang Battled For The Hourglass."
Liu Kang: You and Slone are victims of deception, sorcerer.
"Slone & Shang Tsung Become Shocked That Their Benefactor is his titan doppelgänger as he walks toward them."
Slone: You're not Damashi...
Shang Tsung: You're me!
Titan Shang Tsung: More correctly, you are me. A poor facsimile, anyway, made lesser by Liu Kang's meddling.
Kara: I...I don't understand.
Sindel: What's happening here? Who is he?!
Liu Kang: This Shang Tsung is whom I battled for the Hourglass. I thought him dead.
Titan Shang Tsung: As I did you, Liu Kang. It turns out, our battle released mammoth energies which ripped apart time's fabric. The fight had two conclusions. In one, I was the victor... In the other, it was you. It was eons before I discovered this. Once I did, I knew the path forward.
"Titan Shang Tsung ShapeShifts Into Damashi In Front of The Heroes & Villains, Revealing His True Evil Intention."
Titan Shang Tsung In Form of Damashi: I took this form and infiltrated your Earth and Earth-Prime. I elevated Slone and these wretches, giving them great power. Together as the Supervillain Rogues, they sowed discord among the realms and assembled for me the Dragon Army. I led them to believe they were aiding my conquest of Earthrealm and Outworld. But my intent is to exterminate all life on Earth-SN9 and then merge it into my own.
Shang Tsung: You promised us realms and her chance to prove herself to the ultra-rogues.
Slone: Now you leave us to slaughter?
"Titan Shang Tsung Then Reverts Back To His Original Form as He Reveals That He's Been Using Both Her And Shang Tsung-SN9."
Titan Shang Tsung: You were pawns, not partners. Your purpose served, you will be sacrificed.
Quan Chi: We served you loyally. Built you the dragon crown!
Titan Shang Tsung: This? It is a toy. I do not need it to control the Dragon Army, only the souls contained within.
"Titan Shang Tsung Then Breaks The Dragon Crown, Freeing All The Souls, However, A Breach Opens Because of The Dark Titan's Doing, Which She Begins To Struggle, As She Looks At Titan Shang Tsung."
Titan Shang Tsung: Goodbye, Supergirl. Neither you, nor your family, will be missed.
"Titan Shang Tsung Then Fires A Flaming Skull At Kara which knocks her straight into the breach, it then closes, leaving the heroes devastated, they then turn to attack the Titan in a rage."
Liu Kang: KARA!
Elli: YOU'RE GONNA REGRET HURTING MY FRIEND!
Titan Shang Tsung: And to you aswell, Heroes. Neither you will stop me now.
"Shang Tsung & Dark Geras Then Disappear In The Sands, Leaving The Dark Doppelgängers To Kill Them."
Shang Tsung: It appears our interests align... for now.
Liu Kang: Know that I trust neither of you. I will finish you both at the first hint of treachery.
"Suddenly, A Dark Raiden Then Flies Up Using His Lightning, Slone Then Hides Behind One of The Statues Instead of Helping. The Heroes And The Darker Villains Then Clash In A Battle, However, The Dark Doppelgängers Overpower Them, Which Mileena Gets Knocked Away, However, When Jerrod Checks On Her, He Notices That She's Struggling To Get Control of Tarkat Because The Serum's Effect Is Wearing Off."
Jerrod: Mileena! What's wrong?!
Mileena: Serum... Wearing off... Must stay in control...
"Mileena Transforms Into A Monstrous Tarkatan, But This Time She's In Control. Which Sam Gets Ready To Fight."
Mileena: You attack my family?! I will make you suffer!
Sam: When this is over! Your boss is gonna pay for what he did!
Dark Raiden: Further resistance serves no purpose. This timeline will be destroyed.
"Dark Raiden Tries To Attack Them With His Lightning, But Sam Blocks It With His Green Construct Shield, Which He Hits Him With It, He Then Creates A Green Fist, He Swings At Dark Raiden, Striking Him And Knocking Him Into A Wall."
Sam: That all you got?!
Mileena: You haven't much fight left. It won't take long to finish you.
"The Dark Raiden Charges At Mileena, But She Dodges It And Impales Him In The Leg With Her Sai, Sam Then K.O. Uppercuts Him, Which He Falls Down To The Ground."
Sam: Now for The Next One.
Mileena: This new Shang Tsung should have sent more minions.
"The Heroes Then Regroup And Surround Dark Sindel."
Dark Sindel: Ha ha ha! Come forward, if you dare. I will finish what Raiden could not.
"The Heroes Charge In To Attack Dark Sindel, She Proved More Fatal As She Overpowers Them And Takes Them Down One-By-One, Using Her Banshee Scream, However, Sindel SN-9 Still Stands As He Picks Up A Sword, Ready To Finish Off Her Dark Doppelgänger."
Dark Sindel: Your tenacity's to be admired.
Sindel-SN9: Until our last breaths are taken... ..as long as blood flows through our veins... ...we are not beaten.
"Dark Sindel Uses Her Hair To Grab Another Sword, She Then Holds It In Her Hand."
Dark Sindel: (chuckling) Noble sentiments, which in the end matter little. None of you will leave here alive.
"Sindel Then Battles Her Dark Doppelgänger In A Sword Fight, They Begin To Struggle Here, Fortunately, Sindel Knocks Dark Sindel Down, Before She Can Deliver The Final Blow, Her Dark Doppelgänger Uses Her Hair To Grab The Sword And Impales Her With It, She Collapses To The Ground, Wounded, Which Leaves Mileena Enraged As Elli Stands Beside Her."
Dark Sindel: Oh, it's so sad to see a child lose her mother.
Mileena: If my mother dies, she won't be the only Sindel to perish.
Elli: And you're gonna get what's coming to you when we're through with you.
"Dark Sindel & Elli Clash In Kombat, Before Sindel Could Could Banshee Scream, Elli Sonic Howls, Knocking Her Away, While Mileena Charges In And Kicks Her."
Mileena: This ends when I rip out your heart with my hands.
"Dark Sindel Charges At Mileena And Is About To Kill Her, Fortunately, Elli Saves Her By Knocking The Dark Villain Away With Her Sonic Howl, Dark Sindel Tries To Struggle, But When Elli Stops, Mileena Darts In And And K.O. Punches Her, However, Before The Heroes Could Retreat, Mileena Passes Out Due To Kombat While With The Tarkat Disease, Thankfully, Tanya Rushes In And Injects The Serum Into Mileena, Suppressing The Disease, When The Heroes Spot A Dying Sindel, They Realised They're Too Late To Save Her, Which Kitana Rushes To Her."
Kitana: Mother, you can't go. Not yet.
Sindel: It's my time, dear. At least... we had a few hours more.
Jerrod: I will cherish them.
Mileena: Mother.
"Mileena Rushes To See Her Mother."
Sindel: You are now Empress. Rule well.
Mileena: I will, Mother. Father and Kitana will help me.
"Sindel Succumbs To Her Wound In Death, But Jerrod Realises What Ermac Can Do Now."
Jerrod: Of course.
"Jerrod Then Collects Sindel's Soul, Which Now Resides Within Him, Meaning That She Is Safe, The Heroes Then Were Glad That He Did The Right Thing For Her."
Mileena: Father, wh-what did you do?!
Jerrod: I collected your mother's soul. It resides within me. She is safe.
Liu Kang: Hurry, everyone! We must withdraw.
"The Heroes Then Escape Through Where They Came In, Leaving The Mountain."
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"Outside The Fortress, The Heroes Were Devastated After What Titan Shang Tsung Had Done To Kara."
Kitana: To move an army that large among realms he'll need a portal, yes?
Liu Kang: More than one. He will need a nexus of portal gateways.
Mileena: It must be nearby. We follow them, they will lead us to it.
Liu Kang: Agreed. But we cannot strike until Raiden and Kung Lao arrive.
Tomas: That the Lin Kuei won't aid us is unforgivable. Bi-Han has corrupted them totally.
Kuai Liang: When this crisis ends, we will deal with that one.
Liu Kang: This is but the opening battle in a longer war. "Titan" Shang Tsung has prepared his entire timeline for it... ...we cannot match its strength. After what he had done to Kara.
Shang Tsung: My counterpart said that your battle with him ripped time's fabric, creating two timelines... But how do we know that it wasn't torn further? If there are two timelines, can't there be more?
Slone: It is possible.
Liu Kang: Why the thought experiment, sorcerer?
Shang Tsung: You said we lacked strength. We might find it in other timelines.
Kuai Liang: How would we do that?
Kitana: We gather allies from across timelines... ...other Titans.. ...to build an overwhelming force.
Sam: Whoa whoa whoa, You crazy?
Chelsea: How? With Kara gone, We don't know what to do.
Elli: Least we can try something else.
Liu Kang: If they exist. We have no proof that they do.
Jerrod: We must fight the battle in front of us. We can't stake our survival on pure conjecture.
Mileena: If Liu Kang is right, the battle in front of us is already lost. This may be our only hope.
"Geras Begins To Realise The Only Option For Liu Kang To Have."
Liu Kang: Geras. Your thoughts?
Geras: It is possible. But as I am only the Hourglass's steward, such a search is beyond me. It can only be undertaken by the Keeper of Time.
Liu Kang: And I no longer wield that power.
"Geras Then Begins To See That There Is No Other Choice For Liu Kang As He Knows The Only Way."
Geras: You may be able to regain it.
Liu Kang: What? How do you mean?
Geras: When you gave up control of the Hourglass... I worried that, one day, you would find you needed it. So rather than let your power dissipate, I collected it... ...To this day it remains safely stored.
Liu Kang: Why did you never tell me this?
Geras: Because the process of restoring your power is likely irreversible. Returning to the life you have now as Earthrealm's Protector, a life you cherish, may be impossible.
Liu Kang: And you didn't want me tempted to make that sacrifice... unless it was absolutely necessary.
Geras: Correct.
Liu Kang: Thank you, Geras. You have saved us with your wisdom. Now. Where have you stored my power? We must retrieve it.
Geras: It is at the Fire Temple. Stored in the jade jaguar gifted to you by the Great Kung Lao.
"Liu Kang Nods In An Agreement, Which He Turns To Look At The Knights."
Sam: Well......We're Heroes.
Elli: You can count on us.
Chelsea: We'll get the job done before you know it.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"At The Gateway, The Dragon Army Were Beginning To Assemble, However, Dark Geras Walks To Shang Tsung With Annoyed News."
Titan Shang Tsung: Yes, Geras?
Dark Geras: Liu Kang has proven more resilient than anticipated. He and his comrades have escaped the fortress.
Titan Shang Tsung: Forget the others, find Liu Kang. He alone threatens my plans.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"At The Fire Temple, Liu Kang & Geras Walk To The Entrance Where They Should Find The Jade Jaguar That The Great Kung Lao Gave To Him."
Liu Kang: You could have picked no better vessel to store my power, Geras. I have always treasured the Great Kung Lao's gift. It reminds me of his meticulous nature and his generous heart.
Geras: Once we retrieve the jade jaguar, we will proceed to the Hourglass. There we will transfer the temporal power stored within it to you.
Liu Kang: It now occurs to me that, all along you have had unfettered access to the power stored within. You could have taken it, become Keeper of Time, but chose not to. Why?
Geras: Because I have faith in your vision for this new era. I am content to be its guardian.
Liu Kang: Thank you, Geras. Now this process you propose. You are sure it will restore my power?
Geras: As sure as I can be of one that has been neither tried nor tested. But even if successful, it is not guaranteed that you will find any other timelines or allies. They may not exist.
Liu Kang: I pray this is not a fool's errand. I hate leaving the others behind.
Geras: Your champions will bolster their strength against the Dragon Army. It is sure to be the mother of all battles.
Liu Kang: May the Elder Gods protect them and the Supehero Knights.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"On An Unknown Earth, A Unknown Hero Was Seen, Dawned In The New Suit, But This Hero Looks Similar To Any Other, Except She Looks Like Kara Lycan."
Unknown Hero: Time to take the fight to the Villains.
