Just an aftermath fanfic (Rewrite)

Prologue

(Fire God Liu Kang is fighting Kronika while Echo and Specter fight the revenants)

(Fire God Liu Kang hits Kronika with a few fireballs before he shoots a blaze of fire and lightning at Kronika, turning her to glass)

(Fire God Liu Kang slaps Kronika's arms off. Then he spin kicks her head, shattering it into tiny pieces. Then he pushes her body, shattering it on the floor)

Raiden: Our work is finished, Liu Kang

FG Liu Kang: Lord Raiden?

Raiden: I am merely Raiden now. You have proven yourself worthy to take my place as the new protector of earth realm, once it is restored

FG Liu Kang: You honor me, Raiden

Raiden: The honor is mine, Lord Liu Kang

Echo: When you killed Kronika, the revenants vanished. Thanks for that

FG Liu Kang: I thank you and Specter for helping fight them

Specter: Any time, fire god

Raiden: The sands of time are now yours to shape. It falls upon you to architect a new history

FG Liu Kang: The fate of all realms in my hands? Raiden, I cannot do this alone

Echo: Well, you've got plenty of friends nearby

Raiden: And I shall advise you for as long as my mortality allows. But have no doubt, even without help, you are up to the task

FG Liu Kang: Then together... Let us begin

(Fire God Liu Kang starts to use his magic on the hourglass, but then a portal opens)

(Shang Tsung, Night Wolf, and Fujin walk through the portal)

Shang Tsung: Cease, Liu Kang! Before you doom us all!

Raiden: Shang Tsung?!

Echo: What is this?!

Specter: How are you even alive?

FG Liu Kang: Night Wolf? Fujin? What are you-

Shang Tsung: Cease your magic, before the hourglass shatters

Raiden: Even here, at the dawn of time, you spew lies and deceit! We will not hear it!

Shang Tsung: In defeating Kronika, you destroyed her crown. Without it, you can't restart history. The hourglass will shatter. All realms will be lost

Raiden: Fujin, is this true?

Fujin: Kronika's every action was taken to ensure the crown's preparation. She would not dare to restart history without it

Echo: Night Wolf, what do you make of this?

Night Wolf: He is telling the truth

Specter: Well... There's a first time for everything, I suppose

(Fire God Liu Kang ceases his magic, saving the hourglass)

FG Liu Kang: How do you know this?

Night Wolf: Kronika came to each of us. For our help, she offered places in her new era. For refusing her, we among other warriors were banished to a void beyond time

Fujin: We could observe the events leading up to your siege of the keep, but were powerless to intervene

Specter: It was so much fun. Probably would have been even better with you two
