Hi everybody!

Some (all two of you), may remember a while back I started posting my storyline for MK7, which eventually fizzled out due to more important things. But in my spare time, I would continue working on it and changing things until finally the sumbitch is done. So I kind of want to finish posting it. And rather than start a whole new thread and deal with many "We've seen these already" responses, I figured I'd just bring back the original thread. Closure for the few who bothered to read it, something new for those who never did.

Those who did read the original story will notice a big change in the main plot, ie: no more Nyx, Thanatos, Lorenya, or the characters involved. I decided the introduction of yet another realm was unnecessary, so I took out all references to that plot. Instead I put more focus on Onaga's search for the Final Kamidogu piece which the Earth warrior's stole and are hiding on Earth.

I've also made changes to the cast. Roster is for the most part the same, only there are fewer new characters and more returning. When I started posting, I set a limit for myself (x returning characters, y new characters).....but I've since said screw it and just ran away with the story. Some returned strictly for storyline purposes(Shujinko/Goro); some I don't care about, but I thought of a story for anyway(Gemini/Tasia/Stryker); and some I don't care about, but I wanted to challenge myself(Hotaru/Dairou/Darrius).

So the roster is:
- Kitana
- Mileena
- Baraka
- Tanya
- Jade
- Rain
- Smoke
- Sub-Zero
- Kenshi
- Ermac
- Kung Lao
- Kai
- Fujin
- Shujinko
- Sonya Blade
- Li Mei
- Gemini
- Tasia
- Stryker
- Kabal
- Kira
- New Character: Livia
- Quan Chi
- Sareena
- Ashrah
- Kia-Jataaka
- Noob Saibot
- Scorpion
- New Character: Wraith
- Drahmin
- Frost
- Khameleon
- Nitara
- New Character: Vellock
- Shao Kahn
- Goro
- Kintaro
- New Character: Jackal
- Havik
- Hotaru
- Dairou
- Darrius
- Sektor
- Blaze
- New Character: Skarlett
Plus 10 Secret Characters

If you don't care to read the whole thing and only care about one or two characters in paticular, just skim to where I posted their story. Posting order is:
- Main Plot
- Bios
- Sub-Boss/MIAs
- Endings/Secret Characters
For those who are ambitious(and patient) enough to read the whole thing, feedback is appreciated.

So on that note, here's my MK7 storyline....not sure about the title though....


Mortal Kombat: Darkness
"The end is at hand.
"The legendary Dragon King has returned and reclaimed his Undead Army. He has once again taken the Throne of Outworld. Through deception, he has aquired the Six Kamidogu pieces, which have already endowed him with god-like power. All Onaga needs to make his power absolute is to fuse the Kamidogu together.
"Many of Earth and Outworld's champions have already fallen. The few that remained tried to prevent Onaga from fulfilling his evil goals while he was still building his strength in Outworld.
"They failed.
"However, by some miracle, one of Earth's defenders managed to steal away one piece of the Kamidogu before Onaga could fuse them together. Onaga has all that he needs to conquer Reality except for this Final Piece.
"What's left of the warriors of good retreat to Earth, where they hide the last Kamidogu piece and prepare for the Dragon King's inevitable invasion.
"As before when Shao Kahn invaded, Earthrealm has become a battlefield. Earth's only hope is somehow Onaga can be destroyed before he reclaims the Final Kamidogu.
"But there is another threat. A hidden evil waiting and biding its time to reveal its master stroke. Manipulating and planning. Only a few have sensed this secret evil. Even fewer know what it is. For now it waits in the shadows....waiting until the perfect time to plundge all that exists...into darkness.... "

-The words of Ermac


Now the bios:

Scorpion
Origin- Netherealm
Alignment- Uncertain
Allies- none
Foes- Quan Chi, Drahmin
"Everything I've done....I've done for my family. I disobeyed my father and joined the Shirai Ryu to provide a good life for them. I risked my life every day for them. I sold my soul for them. I traveled through Hell and fought through Demons, Oni and God knows what else for them. I've served evil for them. I've served good for them. Everything I do is for them.
"I was transformed into the Champion of the Elder Gods and given but one mission: to stop the Dragon King from uniting the realms. I agreed and decided to play the hero for once. I tracked Onaga throughout Outworld, the Netherealm and places in between. Somehow...he was always a step ahead. And strangely, for all his great power...he seemed to be avoiding me.
"I finally cornered him in the Nexus. He sent his Tarkatan barbarians to stop me but they were easily dealt with. This was my chance to defeat Onaga and end his evil. But....he made me an offer. It seems Onaga has the power to resurrect the dead. He offers to resurrect me. The real me...Hanzo Hasashi. But more importantly, he also offers to resurrect my wife and my son. And in return he makes one simple request: leave him alone.
"The Elder Gods offer me nothing for being their Champion. But I know serving them is the right thing to do. I know to allow Onaga to continue his evil is wrong. But he may be my only chance to finally be reunited with my wife and son. To finally be at peace. For the first time....my mission is no longer clear."


Kitana
Origin- Edenia
Alignment- Good
Allies- Jade, Rain, Sindel
Foes- Tanya, Onaga
"I have long feared my sins would come back to haunt me. For years I have worked and struggled to undo the evil I did for Shao Kahn. I believed if I did enough 'good,' I could redeem myself. But now I see my hopes were in vain. Although I perished in battle with the Deadly Alliance, I died with no regret. I did what I could and died honorably.
"But fate it seems, thought that wasn't good enough. I was brought back by Onaga, the Dragon King. He reawakened the evil in my heart and used me as his bodyguard. And in a cruel twist of fate, my mother died trying to save me. She died....by my hand. Now free from Onaga's control, I can see this terrible joke fate has played on me. My mother, a good and noble woman, dies while I, a former assassin, a killer of men, women, and children, live on with the torment of my actions.
"I can't do this anymore. I want it to end. I want to die, like I deserve to. I leave the protection of Edenia up to my friend Jade. I only hope she will succeed where I failed. And as for me...I intend to end my life. But not before I make sure Onaga never harms another soul again.
"But I cannot do this alone. Fortunately, I have heard my clone Mileena has fallen out of Onaga's favor. We now share a common enemy. She won't want to help me, I already know.....but I can give her what she's always wanted. An offer she won't refuse."


Mileena
Origin- Outworld
Alignment- Neutral
Allies- none
Foes- Tanya, Baraka, Kitana
"I was so close. So close to finally fulfilling my purpose....my destiny. I masqueraded as my 'sister' Kitana and took control of her armies for the Dragon King. I was to lead them to ruin. They were to be led into an ambush and be destroyed. But a strange thing happened. They won. It was then that I realized I had achieved my purpose. I controlled the most powerful army in Outworld and Edenia combined. As long as they believed I was Kitana...I could rule. I could finally take my birthright.
"But Baraka knew of my masquerade. He could pose a threat to me. I....loved Baraka.....but I could not let that stand in the way of my destiny. I lured him to the Beetle Lair and I struck him down. I left the body to be devoured by the insects that dwelt within and set to return to MY army. But then the real Baraka arrived. Someone alerted him of my plan and he sent a decoy in his place. Baraka attacked me and I tried to fight....but then Onaga himself had arrived. Someone told him of my betrayal.
"I escaped.....barely....only to find that Kitana's ally Jade had alerted the army of my deception. Someone told Jade what I was doing. The same someone who warned Baraka of my plan. The same someone who told Onaga that I had betrayed him. This same someone is now seeking to take control of Edenia....to take my birthright.
"Someone named Tanya.
"Now I'm on the run. But I have no intention of going quietly into the night. I will have my revenge. I will find this Tanya and I will peel the flesh from her bones. And I will go through whatever I have to do it. I will prove that I should rule Edenia. I will achieve my destiny."

Reiko
Long ago, while he still served Shao Kahn, Reiko swore a vow to watch over and protect a young girl. It was for her protection that he abandoned Shao Kahn's army. For her protection that they were taken to the Netherealm where Reiko offered his services to the fallen Elder God Shinnok. Reiko and the girl were turned into Demons so they could exist within the Netherealm. The girl was taken by Quan Chi and trained to be one of his assassins while Reiko became one of Shinnok's generals.
However, the girl hated the Netherealm and secretly wished to escape. Unbeknownst to Reiko, when finally made an attempt to escape, she was killed by Shinnok. Her death was blamed on another and Reiko continued to serve Shinnok, unaware that it was really the Elder God who killed her.
Reiko continued to serve Shinnok until he led the assault on the gods shortly after Shinnok invaded Edenia. During this battle, Reiko was thought to have been killed by Earth's Thunder God Raiden. But in actuality, Raiden revealled to Reiko the truth about Shinnok. It was because of this revelation that Reiko abandoned Shinnok's armies.
No longer serving Shinnok and believing the girl to be dead, Reiko disappeared into the shadows with no reason to fight. But as Onaga begins his invasion of Earth, Reiko learns that the girl he had vowed to protect so long ago was in fact alive and hiding on Earth. At last knowing she's alive Reiko sets out to find her. He will have to find her soon, for she will need his protection now more than ever.
The girl named Sareena.
