Mortal Kombat III

Demise

Liu Kang and Kung Lao stared at the sky after hearing Raiden's message. Both looked at their fallen Shaolin brothers' bodies.

"Not again…" Liu said, softly.

"We can't worry about them now, Liu. We've got to go and meet with the others." Kung said.

"The question is: How do we get there? Our friends are over in America."

"Hmm, yes, that does pose a problem."

"Well, we'll find a way." Liu said, sighing. "Hopefully."

With that the two traveled west, hoping to find some way to travel over into America.

Meanwhile in New York, Sindel had watched the souls ascend into the skies with sheer delight. Her husband had no doubt already arrived: it was only a matter of time before they would be reunited.

"Sindel…"

Sindel looked behind her to see a portal opening behind her. Sindel turned around, preparing herself for anything, but she knew who it was.

"It is I…" Shao Kahn stepped through the portal, holding out his hand. "Your husband."

"Yes, I know." Sindel said, walking towards Kahn, taking his hand in her own.

"You've been gone a long time, my dear. Too long actually." Kahn said, taking her in both of his arms. "It was a horrible tragedy 10,000 years ago when we lost you."

"I imagine so." Sindel said, smiling.

"But you are back now. That's all that matters. Welcome home, my love. Welcome home."

O-O-O

As Sonya and Jax watched the last of their fellow Special Forces agents fall to the ground, they knew that they had to leave immediately.

Jax got Sonya onto her feet. "Come on girl, we gotta go."

"But where?" Sonya asked.

"I don't know, but we can't stay here. Kahn's probably sent guys after us. We'll be killed. Best we stay on the move."

"Alright." Sonya said. "But how can we?"

"We'll take one of the jets." Jax said. "Come on!"

"Wait! We gotta go to Hollywood first."

"What?" Jax yelled, surprised. "Why?"

"Well, Johnny's there and, well." Sonya said, blushing.

"But Sonya, you hate him! Don't you?"

"Well, yeah, I do… it's just that he's a good fighter."

"Yeah, sure." Jax said. It was clear to him that Sonya was in denial. He had just now caught onto what was going on. "Well, I guess you're right. Let's go."

O-O-O

Speaking of Johnny Cage, he had stopped his car after hearing Raiden's message.

"So that's it, huh?" he said, softly. "I didn't really want this invasion to ever actually happen."

Stepping out his car and throwing off his shirt, Cage prepared himself for anything. "OK, well let's see here. Raiden didn't exactly tell us where to go. So what do I do now?"

"You die."

"Huh?" Cage said, surprised.

Cage turned around to see a Centaur standing in the middle of the road, surprised, Cage assumed that he was one of Shao Kahn's assailants.
