Mortal Kombat Saga

Chapter 9: Battle Between Inner Demons Part 1

I woke up and found myself in.. My own room

Liu Kang: gladly you're awake

I looked forward: L-Lord Liu Kang?

Liu Kang: Yes Ren, you're not dreaming. Why did you put it without none of us knowing?

Ren: I can explain-

Liu Kang: explain

Ren: during when no was fighting General Shao, I saw maybe memories of me fighting Shang Tsung, some kind of hourglass, you died and..- Agh

I rest my hand on my neck

Liu Kang: you.. must have had it rough..

Ren: wait.. what happened..? where's my friends and my brothers? How's Kenshi??

Liu Kang explain to me about what happened when I wasn't here, where my brothers and my friends back home safely, where sub-zero and the Lin Kuei betrayed us, the soul stealers has activated, Nitara is resting and healing at the Wu Shi Academy three new kombatters join us, Ashrah, Syzoth and Baraka. I told him what happened to me and how Shang Tsung took my tailed beast away. And Liu Kang told me something I never know it's impossible. Shang Tsung turn me a being called Triborg

Ren: no..

Liu Kang: Yes, you are a prototype Ren.. I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop it from happening

Ren: n-no don't blame yourself, none of this isn't your fault. It's Shang Tsung.. And I will kill him if I see him again

Liu Kang: ..don't let your rage control you Ren, we don't know what Triborg can do to your body

I sigh: okay..

Liu Kang: get dress, we going to Outworld

Ren: what why?

Liu Kang: a lot will explain once we there but first we need to tell empress Sindel about Shang Tsung

I nod

10 minutes later

Lord Liu Kang and i got out of the portal and Outworld police force awaits us, I saw Li Mei approached to us

Li Mei: Return home, Ren, Lord Liu Kang. I am to let no one pass

Liu Kang: We must see Her Majesty. She must call off her attack on Earthrealm

Li Mei: Her decision was unwise, but she no longer seeks my counsel. And I doubt she's interested in yours

Liu Kang: The Empress has been deceived. Shang Tsung and General Shao have formented this crisis as a means to steal her throne

Li Mei: General Shao?! I know he was hiding his true intentions. But join Shang Tsung?

She sigh

Li Mei: I knew he couldn't be trusted. Were I still Umgadi, he never would have breathed the same air as the Empress. My palace sources told me he arrived out of nowhere and immediately had the Empress's ears

Liu Kang: He gained her trust by treating Princess Mileena's condition. Tragically, she is afflicted with Tarkat disease

Li Mei: Tarkat?!

She looked away: The Empress must be beside herself. If Shang Tsung found a treatment, no wonder she embraced him

Liu Kang: I have shared this with no one except Ren. I trust him, you, of all people, will keep this secret

She looked at Lord Liu Kang: Of course. Were it made public, it would bring down the royal family

Liu Kang: Li Mei, Empress Sindel needs our help. Will you join us?
