This is more or less a fanfic MK8 concept I've been thinking on. Hope you enjoy it...

STORY

Voice: It has been four years since that fateful night... (Show a scene of the battle in MKA.) Seven years ago, the mighty emporor Shao Kahn had been slain by the hands of a brutal nemesis of his...Onaga (Show a scene of Shao Kahn being torn to peices in midair by Onaga.)

Kahn: You wanna piece of me?

Onaga: Nope. I want more!

(Cut to a burning battlefield with Argus' pyramid within the ruins.)
Voice: It was also within this time that Taven, son of Argus, has emerged victorious amongst the throngs of warriors. (Show a scene of a supernatural essence flowing through Taven.) This victory amy have stabilized problems within the realms, but not all of them...

(Cut into a scene in Eathrealm. An explosion happens in the middle of a mountain.)
Scroll: Krimson Forest, Earthrealm. Six years ago.

Voice: A year after the Battle of Armageddon, the rougue criminal named Kano obliterated the Red Dragon base after being dragged to it by a few of the followers of the Red Dragon's leader, the late Daegon. As Kano escaped, something else came out too. (Show a dragon-hybrid Kano flying out, with Caro, who managed to survive.)

(Cut to a scene in Edenia. There is a major celebration and kids skip in a ring around Taven)
Scroll: Edenia, Main palace

Voice: Edenia welcomed their new champion well, as well as their new Queen... (Kitana sits on the throne) Kitana. She hoped that she would rule as well as her mother did in her inaguratory speech. As a reminder, she ordered a sculptor to make a statue of Sindel next to the existing statue of headless Jerrod (Show the statue of Sindel In construction nearby Jerrod's headless statue (as seen in MKD's konquest.).

(A roar, people panic. They soon see Caro land. Bruised and battered, but alive nonetheless.)

Taven: (Shocked) Caro?!

Caro: Taven! I thought I would never see you again! Where is Daegon?

Kitana: You know him?

Taven: This is Caro. He-

Caro: I was the protector of Daegon. Son of Argus. Now, where is he?

Taven: I'm afraid he's-

Caro: Suits him right. I only regret not being there to see it.

Voice: Caro informed Taven about the event in Earthrealm. Meanwhile, in the pits of the Netherrealm...evil is rebuilt... (Cut to a warehouse in the Netherrealm)
Scroll: Noob's Workshop, Netherrealm

Voice: In the wake of Smoke's death in Armageddon, his partner, Noob Saibot, made his bid for an army of cyborg demons advance hastily, but efficiently. (Show an operating table. Noob is wearing gloves and a welding mask over his normal clothes. He operates on a cyborg with hair alarmingly similar to Sareena's.) It was only time before he made his coup.

Scroll: Shinnok's Palace, Netherrealm Six Years ago.

Voice: When the time came, he killed Shinnok and took over the Brotherhood of Shadow. (Show Noob and a few Cyborg minions. They pin Shinnok while Noob readies his scythe. It cuts to black as he strikes.) He made sure those who followed the old leader suffered. (Show a few people impled on spikes over a fire. Though a window, Noob is crowned leader and dons a suit of armor belonging to the late Shinnok. He grins and points. His minions leave.)

(Cut to a scene in the Botan Jungle. A group of Zaterrans are fighting. Reptile and Khameleon are sitting on a throne.)

Scroll: Botan Jungle, Earthrealm. Four years ago

Voice: In the wake of Armageddon, Earthrealm allowed Khameleon and Reptile to rebuild their Zaterran race in the Botan Jungle. In addition, with the assistance of Earthrealm's medicine, Earthrealm's finest doctors managed to give Reptile the chance to regain his sanity. He could now become human once more, yet he chooses not to.
(Show a Zateran with a Pharaoh's headress rise and bow to his eaders.)
Voice: Should another tyrant try to take the chance to take over the Zaterrans, they dicided to choose a defender amongst the people to save them from conquest. They knew all too well that they must never let history repeat itself.(Cut to a shilouetted scene of Kahn taking over Zaterra and back.) After a day's worth of fighting, their champion ws chosen...the serpent sorceror Vipro.

(Transition to a scene in a Seidan court. Many delagates are arguing.)
Scroll: Master Court, Seido. Three years ago.

Voice: Without a leader for either the Seidan Guard or the Resistance, the courts of Seido were arguing very heatedly on what should happen next. Should the revolutionaries take control, or should the order stand? The mercenary known as Dairou wand his accomplice, Terrina, tried to forge out a peace treaty. Needless to say, he was laughed off the podium. (Show Dairou and a young girl in armor. They try to get a treaty in order before being laughed off.)

(Show a large temple with the faces of Bo' Rai cho, Liu Kang, Kung Lao and many others on it. Candles are lit and people are praying.)
Scroll: Memorial Temple, Tibet, Earthrealm. Two years ago.

Voice: It should be noted that in the years following the battle of Armagedon, many have all but lost hope. However, there are those who still have phantoms hanging over them in the wake of a lost comrade. ( show Sub-Zero in an asylum with a bunch of ice sculptures of Sareena. cut to a scene of Stryker in an alleyway. He still has a lock of Sonya's hair that once belonged to Kano.) These phantoms have caused wide reactions, from an unexlainable sadness, to severe depression, to even suicide (Show Mokap about to hang himself.)
However, two years ago, hope was found in an unlikely place. (Show a cloaked figure. She places her hand on Kung Lao's hat. Her hood then falls off, revealing a Tarkatan face. Security surrounds her.)

Security: Freeze!

A young Tarkatan was spotted naer Kung Lao's coffin. What she did amazed even the veterans of Armageddon. (Show the Tarkatan tossing the hat, nearly cutting off part of the Security's heads. She then guides it to carve a log into a carving of Taven.) Axelle, as this Tarkatan was called, became the new Kung Lao that night.

(Transition to a scene in Outworld. Onaga, now human, is sitting on a throne. He contemplates his action with a servant at his side.)
Scroll: Imperial Palace, Outworld. Last year.

Voice: Onaga was able to survive the battle of Armageddon. When he came home, he was expecting to regain the throne with ease. He was in for a shock. Two to be exact. (Show a servant whispering in Onaga's ear.)

Onaga: (Flabbergasted) WHAT?! I can't take over the throne?!

Servant: It says right here. (Takes out Outworld Lawbook.) Kahn didn't leave an heir to the throne. Worse yet, I heard rumors in every pub in Lei Chen that Shao Kahn may have cheated death!

Onaga: Why I'll-

Servant: I frogot to mention that ten native years have passed. Which means...

Onaga: He can't take back the throne! Good job man!

Voice: He was right. Now if only the man claiming to be Shao Kahn knew... (Show a Black man with shao's Warhammer stepping out of a portal. This man is Oz, possessed by Kahn's spirit.)

Oz: HONEY! I'M HOME!!!

(Cut to a dark room. A screen plays a video showing the voice of the Announcer, the royal regent named Carlos. Each one of the fighters sees.)
Scroll: Onaga's Major house. Present Day.

Carlos: This tournament was devised to decide who amogst you brave warriors is most fit to rule Outworld. The tournament will begin shortly. I suggest you rest up. This will be unlke anything you have ever encountered... (Transtion to Carlos sitting on a royal balcony.)I hope you enjoy the stay. We need this competition to go well. Good luck, and welcome to Mortal Kombat!


Notes:
I really had a more DA style intro in mind when I mae this. I wanted to keep everyone up to date on what happened after MKA.

On Seido, I had not much to deal with, but I tried to keep Dairou a player. Terrina, I just made up for an accomplice. I'll be bound to tell more as this goes along.

Outworld now takes center stage in the plot. With Onaga now human, he wants no obstacles in his way. Unfortunately, I wanted Kahn to return as well, but in a new way: Possession. Clearly, Onaga gets pissed.

Noob's coup I thought would give attention to him and give a boost to his controller-not controlled character revealed lately. As for the Cyborg he operates on, I have a surprise for her. A big one.

Zaterra, clearly, needed to come back. Reptile's sanity I wanted because it would only seem sensible to have a sane ruler. And Earthrealm, being open-armed to the defeated forces, was just the place. I just happened to pick the Botan Jungle for a base since it seemed more home-like to the lizard-people. Their champion, Vipro, has now a Liu Kang-esque job on his hands.

Kano's bustout I had only to doom the Red Dragon. I really was uninterested in their place in MK. As for Caro, Konquest just had him out on a rampage. Since I felt that at least one drgon should live, he was it.

The temple and the effects I had to use were based off of real experiences. Being that my grandmother recently passed away, I knew the varied reactions, ranging from sadness to a breakdown. I just had to amp this up to what would happen if Bill Clinton would have died. Subby in the asylum and Stryker will be explained in due time. Mokap's suicide I just had to do since his chances of survival were incredibly slim. Now Axelle I had to make up only to balance out the Tarkatan species. Being that Baraka was the only true Tarkatan and I had him die, I needed a opposite...and kung Lao would have been it if he was alive. So axelle is both a Tarkatan and a hero(ine).

Edenia I had to make a total revision from shambing ruins to happyland. snce Kitana is now queen, I only saw it fitting that Sindel got a statue next to headless Jerrod. the same Statue in MKD's konquest. Not much else to explain until Taven's bio busts out.


Hope you enjoy....
