Just an aftermath fanfic (Rewrite)

Time's arrow: Night Wolf

(Echo, Shang Tsung, Specter, Night Wolf, and Fujin walk down some stairs)

Shang Tsung: We escaped the battle undetected

Collector: Shang Tsung?!

Fujin: Or not

Specter/Echo: (Facepalm)

Collector: Where have you been hiding? You consort with earth realmers now?

Night Wolf: His business is none of yours, Collector

Collector: My business is collecting what Shao Khan wants. He will pay handsomely for the heads of Shang Tsung and Echo

Echo: We're kinda in a hurry here. I'd recommend you crawl back under your rock before I cut off all of your arms

Collector: Ooh! Am I supposed to be scared? You couldn't kill a bug

Echo: I just want to crush the spider in front of me under my boot

Night Wolf: You are outnumbered, Collector

Collector: Am I?

(Collector snaps his fingers, opening some cages)

(Echo, Shang Tsung, Specter, and Fujin fight the beasts in the cages)

(Night Wolf dodges Collector's chain)

Collector: These are indeed strange days. How do earth realmers profit by protecting Shang Tsung?

Specter: Not everything is about profit, you know!

Night Wolf: He shares our goal. Kronika's defeat

Collector: You will be partners in death

(Night Wolf fights Collector. Collector is so focused on capturing Night Wolf for a bounty and imagining the possibilities to increase his wealth, that he gets distracted, and Night Wolf easily wins the fight)

Night Wolf: Thank you, great spirit

(Fujin uses his wind powers to unravel a beast)

(Fujin uses his wind powers to slam a beast on the ground, and Shang Tsung burns it with fire magic)

(Echo decapitates a beast with his sword)

(Specter uses his arm blade to slash a beast's throat)

(A roar of cheering is heard above)

Night Wolf: Kitana has defeated Shao Khan

Echo: Then he's dead

Shang Tsung: He always had more ego than skill

Fujin: Come, let us leave while the crowd is distracted

(Later)

Night Wolf: No. We're already here later than we wanted to be. Lets go to your island now, and take the crown. No detours!

Shang Tsung: Our rather public arrival at the coliseum has made that impossible

Echo: So what if one person saw us? There were thousands of others there

Shang Tsung: Collector is a snitch. He will inform Kronika and her outworld allies of our presence. If we go to my island now, we could be ambushed by Cetrion herself

Fujin: And even our combined power won't stop her. We need help

Echo/Specter: I disagree
