Just an aftermath fanfic (Rewrite)

Guardian for life: Sheeva

(Echo, Shang Tsung, Fujin, Night Wolf, and Specter are at Sheeva's throne room)

Sheeva: Escort you and your comrades to the soul chamber?

Shang Tsung: Yes

Sheeva: Have you come from the future only to insult me? I am no sword for hire

Shang Tsung: This request is far below your present station, your highness. But defeating Kronika depends on us reaching that chamber

Sheeva: Why?

Echo: Do you want to tell her? Or should I?

Shang Tsung: Because we must restore Sindel

(Sheeva goes wide eyed)

Sheeva: My empress...

Specter: Bring her in

(Night Wolf and Fujin bring Revenant Sindel's body into the throne room in a coffin)

Sheeva: You've captured her revenant...

Shang Tsung: Together we can restore her to life

Sheeva: Why? To make a slave of her, as did Quan Chi?

Echo: Quite the opposite, actually

Fujin: So that she can aid us against Kronika. But you have my vow, she will return free of all influence

Shang Tsung: As I recall, you were blood bound to empress Sindel

Sheeva: I was her protector for life

Shang Tsung: How it must have pained you when she died. That was not your fault. You could not save her. Not back then. But today you can

Sheeva: We must present this to Kitana Khan

Echo: With all due respect, she would freak out if she knew

Fujin: If we approach Kitana-

Night Wolf: She'll cut Shang Tsung's head off

Shang Tsung: Kitana never appreciated my contributions to the empire

Night Wolf: Like replacing her with an evil clone?

Shang Tsung: Yes

Specter: Mileena was repulsive

Fujin: Time is short, Queen Sheeva. We must act now and beg Kitana's forgiveness later. After restoring her mother. Will you help us?

Sheeva: By concealing you from Kitana, I betray my oath to her. But my life belongs to Sindel. You will be recognized by Kitana's imperial guard

Shang Tsung: True. They won't take to me kindly

(Shang Tsung morphs into a shokan)

Sheeva: That will do

(Later)

(Echo, Night Wolf, Fujin, Shang Tsung, Specter, and Sheeva are taking Revenant Sindel's body to the chamber)

Sheeva: We've made it this far. There's a stairway beyond those doors. And at the top-

Shang Tsung: The soul chamber! I feel it

(The group hears a voice)

Erron: So there he was, neck deep in shit, cowering in the business end of an outhouse. He picked a bad place to hide. And an even worse place to die
