Scorpion POV
           I wake up in the nether-realm and I looked around. I felt no pain nor weakness. I felt strong and angry. "Where am I?" I asked myself, I heard footsteps walk up behind me. I get up and I see a woman and two men. The woman, she had long black, straight hair. Her figure was slim and pretty. She had bright green eyes. She wore a top with a dragon on it, some of her skin showed. She wore leather pants and black boots with a little heal. The men were wearing cloaks with a hood over their heads. Their hands in both sleeves of their cloaks. I walked back a little with my hands in fists. "Scorpion, Sorcerer Quan Chi would like to see you." The woman said and she walked towards me. I looked at her confused. "It's Hanzo Hasashi." I snapped at her. She growled, "He's dead, you're Scorpion. Come, we need no time wasted." She turned around and walked towards a big temple. I followed them into the temple. I saw a big thrown and many people surrounding it. I looked confused and I continued to walk with the three of them. "Scorpion my greatest creation." A man said while walking towards me. "It's Hanzo get it right." He shook his hand and I growled. "No, you were killed by Grandmaster Sub-Zero, leader of the Lin Kuei. A rival of the Shirai Ryu. He killed you, your clan, and your wife and son." The man explained. "I am Quan Chi. I am your master." I felt the anger build up inside me and I clenched my fists. "Where can I find Sub-Zero?" I asked him with an angry tone. "There is this tournament, you will enter and you will kill him. You will avenge your family and clan." Quan Chi demanded. I nodded and I looked at my hands. "What did you do to me?" I asked in curiosity. "I turned you into a fire demon. You can use your hell-port to get to different places." Quan Chi explained to me. "When is this tournament starting?" I asked him. He chuckled and looked at me. "Don't get too anxious there Scorpion. I see you want vengeance but you need training first. The tournament doesn't start for a while." The woman that I first saw coming here finally spoke up. "Sorry for the inconvenience. My name is Hateri Hamara, I will be the one who is going to train you." Hateri said. I growled quietly and I shrugged it off.
*two years later*
I've been training with Hateri for about two years now. She's really pretty but I don't seem to find love anymore. That's what confuses me, I don't find her attractive. I don't find anyone attractive anymore. After those years passing by, it's been hard. I killed the murder of my family and clan, Sub-Zero. I found my true power and I realized what I was capable of. I still regret killing Bi-Han. I promised Raiden that I wouldn't kill him but my anger was so strong, due to Quan Chi's imagery. I could've gotten my family back, but I betrayed him. I regret it every day and I felt so bad. Kuai Liang, Bi-Han's younger brother, tried to kill me for murdering his brother. I didn't know Bi-Han had a brother. I was in Earthrealm looking at the fallen ruins of my temple, the once stood fire gardens. I was tired of being here, what I am is not what I imagined myself becoming. I grabbed one of my knives and I pointed it at my stomach. I was going to perform Hara-Kiri. An act of ritual suicide by disembowelment with a sword. Tears streamed down my eyes as I whispered something under my breath. "I'm so sorry for all the things I've done." I say and I put the knife over my head and I swung it towards my stomach before a hand grabbed my hands, stopping me from stabbing myself. I go wide-eyed and I looked at the being who stopped me from performing Hara-Kiri. I saw a tall man sparking with lighting. It was Raiden, he took the knife from my hands and he touched my shoulder extracting the control Quan Chi had over me. My eyes turned from all white to brown eyes. The costume that I wore was no longer demonic in some way. It looked more like what I used to wear when I was with my wife, my son, and my clan. Raiden took his hand off my shoulder and looked at me. I breathed heavily looking at my hands and my clothes. "w-what did you just do to me?" I asked, he looked into my eyes and smiled. "I restored your soul, you're no longer scorpion. You are back to Hanzo Hasashi." The rain started to pour down from the sky and onto our heads. I smiled at Raiden, "thank you so much Raiden, but why would you do this for me? After I betrayed you." I said and Raiden shook his head. "I don't believe it was you at all. I'm sure there is a logical explanation about what I feel but for now, I forgive you." Raiden smiled at me and I smiled back at him. "Thank you again." I said and Raiden bowed his head and teleported away. "I'm back, I have my power still, but I'm back." I say with tears running down my face again. I smiled and I looked at the fallen ruins that I once stood foot in, I decided that I was gonna restore the Fire Gardens and restore my fallen clan. "There you are Scorpion." A woman's voice said behind me, I jumped and I grabbed my swords and I pointed it at the woman. I go wide eyed when I saw Hateri. "Hateri?" I asked, she looked more surprised than I was. "Scorpion?" She asked with a small blush creeping on her cheeks. "It's Hanzo now." I said and I clenched the swords in my hands. "P-please help me Hanzo. I-I betrayed Quan Chi because I escaped his control and now he's trying to kill me." Tears rolled down her face and I put the swords away. "We can go to the sky temple with Raiden." I suggested to her. "Anywhere that Quan Chi can't find me." Hateri walked towards me and hugged me, still crying. I tensed up and I looked at her, I slowly gave in and hugged her back. "Let's go to the Sky Temple." I teleported us away from the ruins and managed to teleport to the Sky Temple. I turned my head and I looked at the temple. "This is it Hateri, you're safe now. It's okay." I said to her calmly, she lifted her head and looked around. "This is it?" She asked, I nodded and I noticed Raiden walking out of the temple and started towards us. "Raiden." I said and he looked from me to Hateri. "Come inside, both of you." Raiden said and he turned around and started walking towards the temple. Me and Hateri looked at each other and smiled. We walked with Raiden to the entrance of the sky temple. We walked in and I looked to my right to see Kuai Liang. I growled and I looked at Raiden. "What is that Lin Kuei scum doing here?" I asked him. "I knew you would come here so I asked Kuai Liang to come here. You two seriously need to talk things out." Raiden explained to me. I shook my head and I growled again. "No his brother killed my clan and my family, I will not talk to a Lin Kuei." I turned around and started for the exit. "Please Hanzo, my brother didn't kill your family nor the Shirai Ryu." I heard Kuai Liang say, that made me stop in my tracks and I looked at Kuai. "What did you say?" I asked. "Please sit, you too miss." Kuai said, me and Hateri looked at each other and looked at Kuai. We sat at a table and Kuai sat down as well. "Now explain yourself Lin Kuei." I growled at him and Kuai sighed. "I tried to bring the Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu to peace, but my brother didn't want anything to do with the Shirai Ryu. He disgraced you and your peoples. He wasn't the greatest Grandmaster. He always had control of me, one day I had betrayed the Lin Kuei only to know the Lin Kuei's extinction. It was hard, because my clan was cyberized. I wanted to bring peace to the Shirai Ryu but knowing you, your family and clan came to a massive extinction. It hurt me like you wouldn't believe. I tried to restore the Lin Kuei but after the years trying to restore my clan my brother was murdered, all due to miss directed vengeance." Kuai explained, I didn't seem to be convinced by him words. "You realize your brothers hands were soaked in Shirai Ryu blood, blood of my family." I say trying not to sound angry but failed. "That is when the story unfolds, Hanzo." Kuai said as he poured hot water into three cups. "You see Sector's codes were soaked in beautiful truth, I have his codes here in the sky temple. Quan Chi made an agreement with Sector saying he would kill you, and all the Shirai Ryu. He would make you his slave, killing anyone in your path." Kuai put tea powder in the three cups not really looking at me. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. "You're saying Quan Chi killed Hanzo and his clan?" Hateri asked. Kuai slowly nodded and pushed two cups of tea towards me and Hateri. "He wanted to make me his slave too and he did, I broke free from that. I was allied with you but directed in an evil way. I can show you the truth behind it all." Kuai said as he got up, I got up as well and Hateri stayed seated. "Come if you wish to know the real truth." Kuai said and he walked towards a room and I followed him. I saw Sector's severed head sitting on table with cables coming from it. Hateri stayed behind and Raiden was with her. Kuai looked at me and pushed a button and a hologram appeared of Quan Chi. "What is this?" I asked, Kuai looked at me. "A memory from Sector's security logs. Just watch." Kuai said. "You think you killed him." I heard Sector say. "He and the Shirai Ryu is long dead, him being dead and now my slave. I keep his soul with my magic. His skill brings the dead again to life." Quan Chi said. "You can't think he may find out about his true killers. Sub-Zero being his century rival, he won't feel like he achieved his vengeance." Sector explained. "Don't be silly Sector, he won't dare to harm me, being his master and control of his mind. He can't do anything." Quan Chi said. My eyes widened and my breathing became top-heavy. "Your job is done, your debt is payed." At that the hologram disappeared. I banged my hand on the table. "H-Harumi, Satoshi." I felt like crying but I had to be strong for my sake and for Kuai's sake. "I-I killed you brother cause I thought....he." I say quietly but enough for Kuai to hear. "Quan Chi is responsible for Bi-Han's death. And for the Lin Kuei's extinction." Kuai said quickly. I stood up and I looked at Kuai, I gave him a serious look. "This fight ends now, Sector was wrong, there is a debt to be payed and Quan Chi will pay it." I said and me and Kuai put our hands together and bowed.
