So, I was thinking. After Armageddon, why not flashback?
My Idea is that for the next generation consoles, a good way to make it come out with a bang, is to go back, before the tournament (MK1), before Sub Zero killed Scorpion, before Shang Tsung hosted this battle of earth's warriors.
Story Line: There is a disturbance in the Realms; A breach in the Netherrealm. The breach was small enough to go un-noticed by the Elders, yet big enough to free such a being. This breach freed a demon who, although not ultimately powerful at the moment, has been introduced to Earthrealm. The demon's name is Shang Tsung, a soul stealing demon sorceror. His putrid form crawled from the crack in the abyss, clawing at the soil of Earth. This was 10 years ago; Since then, he has gathered attention, and unknown murders have gathered someone else's attention. Shang Tsung was not the only being to escape from that crack, he was followed, closely.
Characters:
The Great Kung Lao:
I was always on the vigilant side. I had always had that "6th sense", telling when something was off. There have been times when I'd had to spring into action; but then there had been times where I've layed dormant for years, meditating. One day, however, I was struck by a beam of lightening. I was unscathed, to my own surprise. I stood and clutched my fist, and looked up at the sky. It was like that was a message, a signal of sorts. Moments later, I received a message from the gods; To stop a threat that had escaped the elder gods' radar
Shang Tsung:
I had been entombed in that forsaken Netherrealm; I was being kept down by a being called Shinnok, who was in posession of an amulet that kept me there. However, one day I had devised a plan. A plan I had been plotting for years. I had taken one of the animated corpses' that the oni loved so much to feast on, and tossed it in the way of Shinnok. Shinnok's lack of vigilance resulted in his loss of the amulet, casting a beam of light, a portal, into the floor before it fell into the lava abyss. I crawled amongst the bodies and specters and escaped, traveling into Earthrealm.
Shinnok:
I was being punished! I was being kept in the Netherrealm, a fallen elder god. I had the powers of a god, I had everything! Now...what do I have? Nothing! A grouping of demons, wraiths, specters, zombies and oni! Enough for an army? Perhaps, but that would take forever. There is no law here! However, I ate my words. I was attacked, on a day like any other. A horde of oni, tackled me, catching me off guard. My device of power, was cast into the flames as I was pinned down. However my sorcerory allowed for me to destroy my attackers. When I had recovered, I had noticed a tear in the rift between realms, Noticing this I had escaped as well, following an odd trail. Had Someone escaped before me?
Hydro:
I was hired by the Lin Kuei as one of their first assassins. I had expertise in water bending, along with pressure increase. I was skilled, and had drowned so many under my attacks. I've never had any troubles with a target. However I was given a task that would in a way, elude me. I was hired by a group of doubting monks from the White Lotus Society, to bring down an escaped demon. If needs be then to put down anyone else in the way. If they'd already sent someone, why send me? Backup, probably. I could care less, Money was money, and killing a 'demon' would be my biggest pay off yet.
Blaze:
I awoke in Outworld, near an egg that would not hatch any time soon. The monks were keeping me here; the security was tight. I was a burning fire elemental, who at the time, had been struck by a burning instinct. I was startled, and the rush of energy that had just burst through me had given me the strength to snap the chains that held me down. I made a run for the portal, rushing through in a haphazard manner, casting all cautions aside. I went unconscious as I was cast through the portal, my body landing on an island, where I'd found what I was looking for.
All for now. I'm dead tired. Need Editing.
