Alright, I'm assuming everyone is familiar with the star wars movies. For those who haven't seen Return of the Jedi, that's cool, but you won't really understand the parallel themes. But keep in mind, this is a VERY, VERY, VERY LOOSE ADAPTATION. By no mean did this happen in the MK story.

Also note that if you don't know the Noob-Smoke story, this won't make sense. To sum it up, Noob found Smoke's cybernetic body and he reactivated/reprogrammed it to work for him. This ending occurs under the assumption Smoke and Subzero will fight. Anyway, I modeled this ending after RoTJ. Enjoy.

After Subzero and his reformed Lin Kuei sucessfully decimated the Dragon King's Tarkatin Hordes, the Tyrant ruler turned to the newly established Brother Hood of the Shadow to assassinate the ice warrior. Imploring Noob Saibot to eradicate this pest, he gladly took on the objective under the notion that bringing down the Lin Kuei would bring prestige upon his own clan.

Feeling that it would be best to further explore Smoke's potential, the shadow ninja decided to send him on the mission and observe the results himself under the cloak of invisibility. As Noob programmed the objective into Smoke's internal data, he stumbled upon a synethetic memory vault. To his astonishment, Noob discovered that Smoke was a dear ally to Subzero. Not only would Subzero be finally destroyed, but the fight itself would be sadistically entertaining to view, thought Noob Saibot.

As Kenshi and Subzero went on their travels to regroup with the other earth warriors, they were ambushed by the stealth cyborg. Kenshi was knocked unconscious by a preemptive attack, and Subzero stood face to face with this warrior, completely oblivious to fact that this was his old ally.

The two began to fight rapidly, and it didn't take long for Subzero to recognize that the cyborg's fighting style was extremely familiar. The idea that this ninja was what his old friend became after the automation sizzled in his mind. "No.. It can be," he said.

"But it is," replied a voice.

"Who are you!?" screamed out Subzero as he was fending off the cyborg.

"Why don't you ask Smoke. He's your friend and ally, is he not?"

Subzero heard this demonic voice, but could not see another warrior in sight. Yet deep within his soul, he knew this warrior could be none other than Smoke. The Lin Kuei had indeed automated him and robbed him of his humanity.

"Do what you must, Subzero. Kill your ally before he inflicts such upon you."

"Never! There has to be another way. I'll choose death before I kill Smoke.

"Then be destroyed," whispered Noob.

Eventually, the kombat grew too intense. Smoke was unrelenting, and Subzero had no choice but to deal a a fatal hit. He formed his kori blade and slashed the cyborg clear across the chest, releasing circuitry and oil.

Still out of sight, Noob began to laugh sardonically. "Well done, Subzero. Now finish him. Seal his fate."

Subzero shook his head and threw his blade to the ground. "No. He can be saved. I can lift this curse."

Noob wasn't satisifed with this answer. "You fool. If that is your choice, brace yourself for your demise." Noob lifted his invisibility and dealt a near fatal blow to back of Subzero. The ice ninja went down, too weak and disorientated to fight back. Slowly, Noob toyed with him and beat him down further, inflicting more pain with each attack.

And there Smoke stood, starring back and forth from Noob Saibot and Subzero. The blood on Subzero's face, his screaming... it was bringing him back to reality. The pain of memory was flowing into his mind, and his soul had awaken. Now aware of his surroudings, conscious to what he had done, he picked up Subzero's Kori blade, snuck up behind Noob, and then stabbed him fully through the chest.

Noob was drowning in both shock and anger. "You... No... I don't believe this... You are MY servant... MY ally!!!"

"I... have... but one... ally" replied Smoke. Then after, Noob took in his last breath, and faded from into the netherealm forever. Smoke fell on one knee, and Subzero came to his aid. "Subzero... please... forgive me."

"Don't speak. You need to save your strength."

"It's... it's too late now," Smoke responded. "Subzero... take off my cybernetic mask... let me... see you with... my own eyes."

"But Smoke, you'll die!" Subzero screamed.

Again, Smoke shook his head. "That... is inevitable. There.. isn't... any other way."

So Subzero complied. He undid the airlocks on his face mask and pulled off the metal frame. Smoke's face, mostly preserved by the metal and oils, looked up onto him, tired and remorseful. "Till we meet again... farewell... Subzero," spoke the last words of Smoke.

Lamenting the death of his friend, Subzero performed a ceremonial burning of Smoke's cybernetic body. Thereafter, he revived Kenshi into consciousness. Upon explaining what had occured, they both grieved Smoke's death and carried on towards the Earth realm.
