Just an aftermath fanfic (Rewrite)

Internal struggle: Echo

(Liu Kang and Sub Zero are walking in the fire garden)

Sub Zero: Your Shaolin masters, they are ready?

Liu Kang: They will fight until the last man

Sub Zero: That is likely what it will take

Liu Kang: There will not even be a fight if Kharon does not help us. Is there any word from Grandmaster Hasashi?

Sub Zero: No. If we do not hear soon, I will return to the nether realm

(Scorpion teleports into the fire garden)

Liu Kang: Wrong Scorpion. This cannot be good

Sub Zero: Get Raiden

(Liu Kang runs off to get Raiden)

Scorpion: The fire gardens are rebuilt? The Shirai Ryu are indeed restored

Sub Zero: Why are you here, Scorpion? Where is Grandmaster Hasashi?

Scorpion: He is dead

Sub Zero: And now you have come to finish us?

Scorpion: I understand your mistrust, but I am here to assist you!

Sub Zero: I find that impossible to believe!

(Shang Tsung comes through a portal)

Sub Zero: What is HE doing here?

Scorpion: We are not together

Sub Zero: If you are here to help, prove it. Join me against the sorcerer

Scorpion: I shall

(Echo and Fujin come through the portal)

Sub Zero: Fujin?! Raiden thought you were lost when the timeline was broken. And Echo? You both ally with Shang Tsung?!

Fujin: We have urgent news for Raiden! Please, let us pass!

Sub Zero: This may be the sorcerer's trick

Scorpion: The fire gardens will not be defiled by his presence

(Smoke comes running in)

Smoke: Shang Tsung?!

Echo: Wait! Don't-

(An all out battle breaks out between two sides)

(Smoke, Sub Zero, and Scorpion)

Vs

(Echo, Shang Tsung, and Fujin)

(Scorpion throws his rope spear at Fujin, but he ducks under it)

(Sub Zero shoots a blast of ice from his hands. Echo and Fujin dodge it, but Shang Tsung gets hit by the ice blast)

(Shang Tsung and Sub Zero start fighting hand to hand)

(Smoke appears behind Fujin, and they start fighting hand to hand)

Sub Zero: Why you have joined Shang Tsung is beyond me, Echo. What has he done to corrupt your mind?

Echo: Nothing! We need your help to-

Sub Zero: You're a puppet of the sorcerer, Echo! And I will knock his magic out of you

Echo: You leave me no choice

(Echo fights Sub Zero. Sub Zero is a very powerful fighter, but Echo knows him well enough to know his fighting style. That knowledge combined with his vision pulse earns him the win)
