Wolverine Of Outworld

Chapter 4

The next day, everyone was outside. However- Y/N or Milenna was nowhere to be seen.

Sindel: You continue to suprise, Raiden. Among others, you have defeated Kotal, Motaro and Sheeva. Only two fights remain. Are you ready, Earthrealmer?

Raiden: I am, Your Majesty.

Sindel: Then next you face my daughter... Kitana.

Liu Kang: Your Majesty, this is unprecedented. Raiden's next opponent should be your heir.

Sindel: Mileena is unavailable. She's away on pressing imperial business.

Liu Kang: But I have not prepared him to battle Kitana.

Sindel: He's already demonstrated great skill. Can he not improvise?

Raiden: Do not worry, I can do this.

Liu Kang: Very well.

Kitana: I will be no easier to fight than my sister, Earthrealmer.

Raiden: I suffer under no such delusion, Your Highness.

Kitana: I will win this fight. For her, my Empress, and all of Outworld.

After Raiden beats Kitana the crowd cheers as Kitana lays defeated on the ground. Liu Kang looks on, a mix of concern and pride for Raiden. Raiden extends a hand to help Kitana up, and they exchange a moment of mutual respect.

Raiden: You fight well, Princess.

Kitana: As do you, Earthrealmer. Surprisingly so.

Raiden: I hope we meet again. Under different circumstances.

Kitana walks off as she sits next to Sindel again.

Sindel: It's time for the final match. It's a testament to your abilities that you've made it thus far. But now you must face General Shao.

General Shao walks out in his battle armor.

Sindel: Victor of Tervarian War. Conqueror of the Kuatan Plains. Defender of the Navala Coast. As has his family for generations, General Shao defends us with zeal and tenacity. All of Outworld is grateful for his service.

Raiden: That's a notable list of accomplishments, General.

General Shao: It is a mere fraction of them. A full recitation would take days.

After Raiden beats General Shao

Raiden: It's over. I have done it!

The crowd erupts into a chorus of cheers and applause as General Shao lays defeated on the ground. Raiden stands tall, basking in the glory of his victory. Liu Kang watches, a satisfied smile on his face. Sindel laughs as she stands up from her seat, admiring Raiden's skills.

Sindel: Impressive, Earthrealmer. You have truly excelled, as I expected. However. The real final match begins....

Sindel's statement causes a murmur to ripple through the crowd. Raiden's expression turns serious as he looks at Sindel, unsure of what's coming. Sindel takes a step forward, her gaze fixed on Raiden.

Sindel: A new champion must truly be worthy, don't you think?

Liu Kang and the watching Earthrealmers exchange worried glances, wondering what Sindel has in mind. Sindel raises her hand, signaling silence from the crowd.

Sindel: A final adversary yet awaits you, one of the finest warriors in Outworld. Someone who will truly test your skills.

A long scraping noise is heard in the shadows as Sindel's smile broadens as the scraping noise grows louder. The crowd looks on in anticipation, wondering who the final challenger might be. Suddenly glowing yellow eyes are seen in the shadow as the figure leaps from the shadows and lands on the ground which reveals to be Y/N in his new blue, yellow, Wolverine suit.
