Meanwhile...

BF/N POV:

All of us were discussing Raiden's visions thinking whether it's the future or not.

"Everything that is supposed to happen has been happening."

Sonya: But how do we know? Raiden could be having visions of possible futures, not the future.

Jax: Sonya's right. Was I supposed to have my arms replaced with these? Or was it caused by interfering with the timeline?

Johnny: My head hurts just thinking about it.

Kitana: This isn't helpful. We cannot second guess our decisions. Raiden, what are your thoughts? ...Raiden?

Raiden: Yes, that is best.

We then saw Nightwolf come in and we looked at him waiting for an answer.

Nightwolf: It is done. Earthrealm's souls are safe.

Raiden looks at his amulet. More cracks appear on it.

Raiden: No! How is it not enough?! I must speak with the Elder Gods. Shao Kahn's violation must be punished.

Lui Kang argued with Raiden about going to the Elder Gods but eventually they both go to see the Elder Gods.

"Welp at least we don't need to do anything-"

Cyber Sub-Zero: Wait! The Lin Kuei! They surround us!

Multiple Lin Kuei cyborgs reveal themselves around the temple.

"I spoke too soon."

Nightwolf: Attack!

We all rush the cyborgs fighting them. Nightwolf goes for Cyrax, but his attack is blocked and Cyrax punches him in the stomach, and then across the face. I was fighting the cyborgs until I stabbed one in the head and got the other and ripped its head off. I saw Smoke trying to fight Sektor and I ran to save him. Before I could attack Sektor grabbed me by the neck and threw me down the stairs.

Sektor: You are weak, Smoke.

Sektor blasts him in the chest with his afterburn strike, sending Smoke careening down the stairs besides me.

Sektor: Now do you understand? The power of the Grand Master's vision?

We were getting up when a green axe was thrown at Sektors chest. We looked and saw Nightwolf.

Nightwolf: You are no match for the power of the Spirits.

While Sektor has filled his robotic form to the brim with weapons and technology, it doesn't give him the advantage against Nightwolf's mystical strength. After a fierce exchange, Nightwolf manages to leave Sektor down and disabled on the ground. I finished off a cyborg and looked around the temple, Smoke repeatedly punches a cyborg and kicks it down. Kitana decapitates another with her bladed fans. Cyber Sub-Zero is busy reprogramming another downed opponent with Kabal watching. We all gather around, and Kitana looks around.

"What's wrong?"

Kitana: Mother...

We looked and saw Kitana's mother Sindel letting off a banshee scream multiplied tenfold from her original powers. Sonya and Stryker are pushed to the stairwell by the force, Sub-Zero is forced to generate an ice shield to protect me and himself, Jade wards off the attack as best she can with her staff, while Johnny Cage only keeps his balance by holding onto one of Jax's arms. Only Nightwolf is unaffected by the scream.

Sindel: Come forward, if you dare. I will finish what the Lin Kuei could not.

We all gathered ready to fight Sindel.

Jax: Let's do this.

Nightwolf: Attack!

Nightwolf charges Sindel with a tomahawk raised, but she parries the attack and punches him across the face, knocking him down. Johnny Cage tries next, but Sindel blocks his attacks, grabs his arm, knees him and punches him in the face, letting him drop. Kabal moves in, but Sindel kicks him down before he can even strike and stomps her heel straight through his respirator, killing him. I ran in and tried to punch her, but she grabbed me by the neck and before she could do anything Stryker attacks next, Sindel drops me and dodges his attack, kicks him in the knee and caves in his lower jaw with a ferocious punch, killing him. Cyber Sub-Zero charges in, but Sindel blocks his attack, punches him across the face, rabbit punches him and unleashes a brutal uppercut to his face that destroys his mainframe and sends his body flying away, sparking as it does so. Jax runs to face her, but she grabs both of his arms and drives her heel square into his throat, spraying blood from his neck and killing him too. Smoke tries to kick Sindel, but she grabs his leg, knees him in the groin, then grapples him in a sleeper hold and snaps his neck. Sonya charges right into a high kick that sends her sprawling. Jade rushes forward and tries to punch Sindel, but Sindel grabs her hand and punches her in the face twice. Kitana runs forward with a roundhouse kick, but Sindel ducks it and grabs Kitana in a choke hold. She kicks Jade away and throws Kitana aside, before turning to Jade and finishing her by tearing out her stomach. As Sindel throws the organ aside, Kitana attacks again. Sindel blocks her attacks, punches her twice and kicks her down. As Kitana tries to rise, Sindel grabs her arm, pulls her in and repeatedly punches her in face, before dropping her with a flying kick. Kitana rolls over onto her stomach, and though unable to stand, gets to her knees.

Kitana: Mother, please!

Sindel: I am no longer your mother.

Kitana: Mother, this is not your way. Shao Kahn has corrupted you!

Sindel: Shao Kahn has resurrected me! You have betrayed him. Embraced a pathetic cause.

Kitana: Remember Edenia, mother. Remember your rule before Shao Kahn's invasion!

Sindel: Quiet, child. It is time for you to join your friends.

She generates a purple swirl of magic and begins draining Kitana's soul. Nightwolf drags himself toward her.

Nightwolf: Monster!

Sindel turns around, stopping the spell on Kitana, who falls unconscious, and faces Nightwolf.

Sindel: Still alive? No matter. Soon you will reunite with your ancestors.

Empowered by Shang Tsung's magic and strength, Sindel proves to be the toughest fight of Nightwolf's life. It takes all of his fighting ability and protection from the Spirits to keep in the fight, but in the end, he gains an advantage and knocks Sindel to the floor.

Nightwolf: Now, Sindel. Face the Spirit's judgment.

Sindel rises without effort and laughs in his face. Nightwolf begins a chant in his native tongue and a light from the heavens surrounds him. He blasts Sindel with lightning from his hands. They continue to fight until Sindel throws Nightwolf through the sacrificial altar. Sindel walks over to him and wraps her elongated hair around his midsection, dragging him into the air.

Sindel: Victory is mine, Shaman.

She generates the purple aura around her hands and starts draining Nightwolf's soul.

Nightwolf: Not if I... take it... from... you!

He starts another desperate chant in his native tongue and his hand starts to glow with blue energy. Sindel laughs as he does so. As his chant increases in volume, he begins to glow blue as well. A cloud of mystical energy appears and Raiden teleports in with Liu Kang just in time to see what was going on.

Lui Kang: By the Elder Gods!

Screaming one final time, Nightwolf releases the spell, and the blue light turns to a blazing white, engulfing both Sindel and him. Liu Kang and Raiden are forced to cover their eyes. Sindel screams as she is disintegrated by the light, and Nightwolf does the same as he also dissolves into nothing. The light dissipates, leaving no evidence that Sindel or Nightwolf ever existed.
