Mortal Kombat 9: Times Of Change

Chapter 1: Cole MacGrath & Kitana

Cole MacGrath, once known as the "Demon of Empire City" but now the "Patrot Saint Of New Marais". He was a noble hero, sacrificing himself for the lives of so many innocent people. But now, Zeke Dunbar, a close friend of MacGrath has found a way to revive his old friend. With the supplies he found a city-sized ship, he has been able to revive Cole from the dead.

Zeke: Been a while, hasn't it, Cole?

Cole: I'll say...I can hardly recall much, since New Marais.

Zeke: Yeah, it has been a while.

Cole: But I've lost all my powers...and I don't have the AMP anymore.

Zeke: No worries, brother. I whipped up something new for you.

Cole: Another AMP?

Zeke: Nope. It's the stake you used against Bloody Mary.

It was the same weapon that Cole used,when he lost his AMP. A cross, from a nearby coffin, creating a makeshift stake.

Cole: Yeah, I remember.

Zeke: Added a few adjustments too it.

Cole: Thanks, Zeke.

Out of nowhere, Cole's head began to hurt. He started to see pictures, in his mind. In that split second, he understood, Cole was seeing the future. He was recalling people that he's never met. He was seeing many powerful warriors, fighting against other warriors and monsters. He saw a man with a strange hat and had the power of lightning. The vision ended and Cole returned to Zeke's side.

Zeke: Cole? Cole!

Cole: Huh?

Zeke: You okay?

Cole: I just...had a vision.

Zeke: Vision? You serious?

Cole: Yeah but...the people I saw...I don't even know them.

Zeke: Hrm...you saw a glimpse of the future...kinda like Kessler did.

Cole: Yeah...but I don't know what it means.

???: It means that they are events that you must change or prevent.

Cole and Zeke turned around and came across an old friend.

Zeke: Hey! Long time, no see.

???: I agree.

Cole: It's to see you, Hayabusa.

Hayabusa: Likewise. How have you been? Last time I remember, you were deceased, correct?

Cole: Yeah...but Zeke brought me back.

Hayabusa: How is that?

Zeke: From some projects called "nanocells".

Hayabusa: Yes, you brought them to Helena. Cole, tell me more about your visions.

Cole: What's there to say, I couldn't make them out.

Hayabusa: Try to remember.

Cole: ...there was a man with a straw hat, he had lightning powers, like I did. And there were others. Not a lot of them had any supernatural powers. But....

Hayabusa: Were they similar to Hayate and others?

Cole: Kind of yeah.

Hayabusa: So then it is true.

Cole: What's was true?

Zeke: What are you talking about?

Hayabusa: There was rumors of another Earth similar to ours...that existed in a different timeline.
