Sindel, Y/N, and the others approach Shang Tsung's laboratory. Sindel's expression is one of disgust and horror as they take in the sight before them. The lab is a stark contrast to the usual opulence of Outworld. Cold, sterile, and sinister, it gives off an eerie aura. Vats of bubbling liquids, strange machines, and twisted experiments are visible in the dim lighting.

Y/N: Do you believe now mom....?

Sindel is quiet for a moment as she takes in the grim surroundings of Shang Tsung's laboratory. She looks around, her eyes wide with shock and disgust. The sight before her is a stark contrast to the palace she knows. Finally, she speaks, her voice soft but filled with resignation.

Sindel: Yes, Y/N. I believe you. This is...horrifying. How could I have so misjudged them?! For Shang Tsung to indulge in such depravity. For general shao to condole it...

Liu Kang responds with a hint of resignation in his voice.

Liu Kang: Despite my best efforts, neither Shang Tsung nor General Shao nor Quan Chi is meant to be.

Sindel's voice is filled with frustration and disappointment.

Sindel: They are Outworlders, Liu Kang. You have no control over them.

Liu kang: But it is I who crafted their destinies. Along those with other beings. At the dawn of history....

Kitana: You created the realms...?? Is.... Is your mind addled Demi-god...??

Liu kang: I am a mere Demi god now.... but eons ago- I was more powerful then all of the elder gods combined. I was a titan. And the keeper of time.

Suddenly Geras appears which surprised Sindel, Kitana and Milenna except Y/N.

Y/N steps forward, his voice steady and assured. He introduces Geras to his mother and sisters.

Y/N: Mom, sisters. This—is Geras. Liu Kang's ally, and the guardian of a celestial object called the hourglass.

Sindel, Kitana, and Mileena, though still visibly shook by the sudden appearance, look at Geras with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

Geras shows the hourglass using his sand powers.

Liu kang: The hourglass regulates time and destiny. When I wielded its power, it was upon me to craft all of existence. Which I did. When I restarted history....

Sindel: Re-started....??

Geras: This timeline was proceeded by billions more. Though this is the first of Liu kang's design. The others were designed by his predecessor. Kronika.

A vision is shown as Kronika is seen tampering with another hourglass from the previous timeline.

Geras: Kronika was obsessed with equalizing good and evil. When a timeline veered too far to one or the other, she would halt it and restart history. Tinkering with lives and events in the hope of achieving her golden balance.
