Outworld Coliseum

Within the walls of the Outworld Coliseum, Kintaro snarled as he went to kill Kung Lao, but the shaolin relied on his quick speed and agility to attack the Tigrar Shokan hitting him with fast jabs at the beasts muscles. Causing him to roar out in pain as Kung Lao leaped into the air kicking him in the face, defeating him. He let out a chuckle as the crowd around him booed at him wishing Kintaro had won. But Kung Lao didn't care one bit as he bowed to them and turned to Raiden. "You see, Raiden? Earth Realm is free-" before he could finish his sentence, Shao Kahn snuck up behind him and grabbed his head snapping his neck.

Seeing this caused major shock towards the thunder god. "Kung Lao!" he cried out.

"NOOO!!!!" Liu Kang cried out seeing his friend and brother fall down to the ground, dead.

Shao Kahn reveled in his part in killing the foolish monk, while Raiden lost himself in rage. "I will strip the flesh from your bones!" he roared out, but a second voice was heard over his monologue.

Sunset Shimmer's House, Canterlot High Universe

"Not cool Shao Kahn! You murdered my favorite character in the Mortal Kombat franchise!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed as she sipped her coffee continuing the game. "Don't worry Kung Lao... you will be avenged!" she cried out as she played as Liu Kang in the fight against Shao Kahn. "That's it, that's it-" she played only to see Shao Kahn ram against Liu causing her to wince. "Oh, that looked like it hurt, but I'm not giving up!" she continued the fight against the dark emperor. After finally managing to win round 2, Sunset let out a cheer in victory as she spun around in her chair. "Yes! I beat him!" she cried out and sighed as she watched Liu Kang loom over Kung Lao's dead body. She reached to the screen, touching it... feeling sorry for the young monk. "Oh Kung Lao... if only there were some way to undo this..."

Suddenly, she got a text from Pinkie Pie and looked to her phone and looked at the text. "Hey Sunset, hope I'm not interrupting your fun with Mortal Kombat 9. But I thought we'd get together and play two player... if you're interested." she read the text imagining Pinkie's voice playing in her head.

She sighed knowing she was gonna keep asking if she didn't reply, so she wrote back to her saying. "Sure Pinkie, I'll bring my Playstation 3 to your place so we can have fun with the others. See you soon." she sent the text to her and put her phone away and exited out of story mode on Mortal Kombat 9 about to pack it up. But out of no where, something crashed through the roof of her house causing her to scream and turn to what fell in her house. But it wasn't really a what... it was more like who. To the humanized unicorn's surprise, it was an unconscious Kung Lao laying on the floor of her house. To her shock and surprise, Sunset could not believe what she was seeing. So she grabbed her phone and decided to call Pinkie and heard her pick up. "Hey, Pinkie...? On second thought... you might want to bring everyone over to my place. You're not gonna believe what's happened..." she said to her as she hung up the phone. She looked to the monk and walked closer to him to get a closer look. She hovered over him and looked at him as she removed his hat. Upon seeing his face, she knew that it was really the real him... but how he got in her house, was a complete mystery.

She reached over to touch his face, but suddenly Kung Lao grabbed her wrist catching her by surprise. She gasped as Kung Lao threw her over and pinned her down. She struggled to break free but looked to him, seeing Lao in his panicked state. He panted harshly as he held her down. "Who are you?! How did I get here?!" he demanded to know.

"Hey, take it easy... I wasn't trying to hurt you!" Sunset said to him as she struggled. "Now will you let go of me?!" she asked him to release her.

Seeing his actions and realizing she's an innocent civilian, Kung Lao released her and backed away. "I'm sorry... I was only acting on instinct..." he said to her.

"Hey, its cool... but, you are Kung Lao right...? Descendent of the Great Kung Lao...?" she asked him out of curiosity.

In response, Kung Lao nodded to her knowing she was right. "I am... but how is it you know of me...?" he asked her.

"Well... I have always believe that Mortal Kombat was just a video game, but to see you here...? Real as this world...? It's just hard to believe..." Sunset explained to him as she showed him the Mortal Kombat 9 cover. Earning a surprised look from Kung Lao, as he looked at it. "Look, I know its confusing to say the least... but tell me... what do you remember before you came here...?" she asked him.

Kung Lao touched his head trying to remember... but it soon hit him as he finally realized what happened. "I... I was in Edenia with all my friends and allies... we... we were at war with Outworld." he recalled as he looked out the hole he made seeing the sky.

Edenia, a few days ago before they journeyed to Equestria

The war in Edenia raged on, Raiden and his allies fought hard and valiantly to survive as they all had the power of Blaze controlling them. But one by one, each of the kombatants fell by either blade, or fist... Kung Lao meanwhile stood facing Shinnok... the Fallen Elder God. "I won't let you win Shinnok...!" he said to him as he stood in his fighting stance.

"There is nothing you can do to prevent the destruction of your friends monk... the prize is lost, and now we will all perish together!" Shinnok roared out charging at him. Kung Lao blocked the gods punches and dodged his next attack, he then grabbed hold of his arm and spun around grabbing Shinnok by the throat and slamming him down to the ground. The Fallen Elder God got back up and blasted him away, causing Lao to slide across the ground and glare at him. "No matter your efforts, your resistance is futile!"

"Least I know what I'm fighting for... you and your twisted mind games caused all this to happen. I won't let you get away with it!" Kung Lao charged at Shinnok as the Fallen Elder God went to blast him again, but the monk dodged his attack and landed a kick at his face and threw fast jabs at his chest. He took his hat and sliced at Shinnok's neck and threw it behind him as it floated in mid air spinning like a saw blade. Kung Lao shoved him towards the hat as it carved up his back causing him to bleed out. He teleported behind Shinnok and threw the hat in front of him going through the same motion and shoves him into the hat's bladed brim face first. The Fallen Elder God screamed from it as Kung Lao charged at him from behind and kicked him down taking his hat back. "Bet that hurt..."

Groaning as his injuries healed, Shinnok glared at the monk and summoned a pair of large bone hands. "I will crush you like insignificant bug that you are!" he exclaimed as the arms went to crush Kung Lao. This made the monk panic as he avoided each attack that came at him. "Hold still worm!" he cried out.

"In your dreams devil!" Kung Lao yelled and dodged another attack and teleported behind Shinnok, flipping forward as he landed a kick on top of his head, fracturing his skull. The Lord of the Dead cried out as he crashed on the ground, but he wasn't going to go down so easily as he got up from the ground and looked to Kung Lao. He charged at him summoning a bone scythe and swung it at him, Lao pulled out a broadsword and blocked his attacks.

Shinnok let out a battle cry as he swung his scythe at his head, but the monk dodged his weapon and struck the handle of it shattering it to pieces as Shinnok knocked the broadsword out of his hand disarming him. "You should have stayed in Earth Realm, boy!" he summoned his amulet from the dead remains of Quan Chi and blasted him away.

Feeling the blast hit him, Kung Lao fell to the ground feeling the burns from Shinnok's amulet, but he wasn't going to let this evil god defeat him so easily. He picked himself up off the ground and turned facing the fallen god, and prepared to continue the fight. "For Liu Kang... the Shaolin... and for Earth Realm...! he charged at him as Shinnok went to blast him again, but Kung Lao took his hat and bounced it against the ground as the blade of it knocked the amulet loose from his hand. The monk charged at him landing rapid jabs against Shinnok's face, and kicked him in the jaw, breaking it as he fell down to the ground. "You better stay down Shinnok...!" he warned him.

"No... no, I will not be defeated by a mortal!" Shinnok charged and leaped into the air kicking at Kung Lao's chest knocking him away, but the monk managed to stop himself from falling as he teleported and appeared behind Shinnok, jabbed at his back hitting his nerve points slightly paralyzing him.

Panting a bit exhausted from the battle, Kung Lao knew he won't be able to keep this up, so he needed to finish this battle quickly. As Shinnok turned facing the shaolin monk, he summoned all the power from his amulet and blasted at him. But Kung Lao avoided the attack and charged at him. The God of Death wasn't going to allow him to get any closer as he continued to blast at him with his amulet. But his efforts were pointless as Kung Lao grabbed hold of his broadsword and charged at him, he took one swing with the sword chopping off the hand that held the amulet. Shinnok screamed in pain of it as he held his arm, the monk took the sword and severed the fallen elder gods head from his shoulders, leaving him helpless as he laid on the ground. Kung Lao loomed over the head and kicked it away towards the rest of the fighters. "Good luck getting back to your body..." suddenly, he heard a snarl and looked seeing Baraka charge at him blades extended. But Kung Lao kicked him away towards a rock and quickly threw his had at his face, splitting his skull wide open killing him. But when he wasn't looking, Shinnok's arms grabbed hold of him pinning him down to the ground.

He looked towards where the head was as the body was still moving, Shinnok glared at the monk as the giant hands slowly crushed him. "I... won't... die alone... I promise you...!" the God of Death said to him.

Kung Lao's eyes widened as he screamed and his bones were slowly crushed by the giant hands of the Fallen Elder God. Slowly but sure, his life slipped away, and his body became lifeless upon facing death since the Outworld invasion of Earth Realm. He slowly gathered enough strength to look towards the Pyramid of Argus, seeing Liu Kang's zombie form who was now permanently dead as Dark Raiden fought Shao Kahn, he reached out to him as tears fell. "Forgive me... brother..." he said to him as his life slipped away and his arm limped to the ground.

Present Day, Sunset's Home

"Next thing I know, I'm here in your house... alive..." Kung Lao finished his explanation and looked to Sunset. "I'm sorry for attacking you the way I did..." he apologized to her.

But Sunset shook her head in response and looked to him with a small smile. "Its alright, really... it hurt a little, but I'll be fine." she assured him despite still feeling some pain in her arm.

Smiling knowing that she is secretly lying through her teeth and approached her grabbing her arm. "Hold still..." he said to her and fixed her arm up to make it better only to hear her yelp in pain. "Hope it helped a bit..."

Rolling her shoulder, Sunset felt that the pain was gone and looked to her. "Wow... that actually helped... thanks." she said to him.

"No problem... so..." Kung Lao looked to the Mortal Kombat 9 game and looked back to her. "How popular am I in this game...?" he asked her out of curiosity.

Shrugging her shoulders, Sunset knew he needed to know. "You definitely have leaps and bounds compared to Liu Kang..." she said to him.

Chuckling from hearing it, Kung Lao looked outside. "Beat that Liu..." he muttered but soon sensed something coming to Sunset's front door and stood up going on the defensive.

Rainbow Dash rushed into the room and saw Kung Lao forming a panicked look on her face. "Sunset, look out!" she charged at Kung Lao and went to strike him. Panicked from what she was going to do to him, so he quickly dodged her attack and threw her over as she screamed falling onto the bed. She immediately got back up and looked to him with a scowl. "Back up buddy! I'm lethal, and I will hurt you!" she warned him.

"Whoa, whoa, easy... I wasn't trying to hurt her..." Kung Lao said to her.

"Rainbow Dash, listen to me! He's telling the truth... sure, he accidentally crashed through the roof of my house, but he's totally innocent. I swear..." Sunset said to her as she walked over to Lao. "Everybody... this is Kung Lao..." she turned to the monk. "Kung Lao... these are my friends. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and of course... Rainbow Dash."

Surprised by the introduction, the girls couldn't believe what they head and looked to him. "No... way... that can't be!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed out of disbelief. "You're just a video game character! How in the living heck are you even real?!" she asked him trying to process everything she's experiencing.

"Believe me... I wish I knew, one minute I'm dead in Edenia... next thing I know, I'm here." Kung Lao explained to her and looked to the rest of her friends. "For all I know, I need to find the rest of my allies... if I'm here, they might be here as well."

Thinking of a way to help him, Sunset quickly realized there is a way someone could help. She rushed to her backpack and pulled it out. "I hope you're there Twilight... because we need your help right now." she muttered and opened the book earning a surprised look from Kung Lao and looked to him. "It is a magical book, it allows me to communicate with a friend of mine from another reality." she explained to him.

"That's not strange at all..." Kung Lao responded to her.

"Hey, you learn something knew every day..." Sunset took a pen and started to write. "Dear Princess Twilight, I know this may sound crazy. But Kung Lao is here in our world, and we might need your help with finding the rest of his friends. If you have any information, please contact me as soon as you possibly can. Your friend... Sunset Shimmer." she finished her message. But suddenly, she got a rather quick response from the book. "Wow, that was fast..."

"She must keep that book close to her at all times..." said Rarity as she approached looking to the book. "What does it say...?" she asked her.

Looking at the message, Sunset took the moment to read it out load. "Dear Sunset, you will not believe this... but we happen to know where his friends are. They are currently here in Equestria with us... even Liu Kang was surprised when he heard your message, and is happy to hear that his friend and brother is safe. Me and him are on our way to Canterlot High to see him... we'll see you soon. Your friend... Princess Twilight Sparkle." she finished reading the message.

Hearing this from Sunset's mouth, that Liu Kang was there as well... it shocked Kung Lao beyond belief. Liu Kang, alive? He could almost believe what he heard... but if he is on his way with this Princess Twilight, he had to know for sure if it was him. "If they're on their way here..." he turned facing Sunset. "How will they get here?" he asked.

"No one knows, but the portal to this world is sitting right in front of our school." Sunset explained to him.

Hearing this, Kung Lao grabbed his hat and puts it on. "Then lets get going... I need to stretch my legs before they fall asleep." he said to them.

"Whoa there!" Applejack stopped him and grabbed his hat. "You may be a popular Mortal Kombat character, but you gotta lose the hat." she said to him earning a confused look from him. "Reason being, weapons are not allowed on school grounds." she explained to him.

"Hey... my hat stays with me, I can't just leave my hat here... otherwise, I'd be defenseless should something happen." Kung Lao said to her earning a harsh scowl from her as the monk and the cowgirl size each other up. "If you plan to go toe to toe with me, you best think twice about that." he warned her.

Immediately getting between them, Sunset pushed the two away from each other to stop their bickering. "That's enough, both of you... look, we just had a rough time with the Battle of the Bands, we're in no way prepared for what may happen next. Trust me, I'll make sure he doesn't use his hat in public unless it were completely necessary. Understand...?" she asked them. Kung Lao and Applejack looked to each other knowing that they are gonna have a hard time getting along, but if they want to help each other... they needed to hurry to CHS before Twilight and Liu Kang arrived, so they nodded to Sunset in understanding. "Good, now lets get going." she said to them and walked out.

Rarity approached Kung Lao and grabbed his shoulders. "Come along Kung Lao, let us hurry after her... wouldn't want to be late..." she said to him as she pulled him away from Applejack. Still feeling lots of tension about him, Applejack shook her head and followed after him with the others. But unaware to their knowledge... a small... blue light floated out from behind Sunset's television as it watched Kung Lao as he walked out of the house with Sunset and her friends. The little wisp sensed something from him, and quickly followed as the door closed.

Canterlot High School

At Canterlot High School, by the Canterlot Statue... two figures stepped out of it. One, being Twilight, in her school attire rather than Kitana's custom outfit that Rarity made for her. The other, being Liu Kang in his warriors robes as he looked around seeing the school feeling surprised. "So this is Canterlot High..." he said to her and looked to himself seeing he is back in human form. "I'll admit, it is good to be back in human form..."

"And good to know you don't look at all like a zombie..." Twilight pointed out and looked around. "They should be here by now..." she muttered.

"Perhaps they are running late...?" Liu asked her but soon heard running feet and looked seeing them running towards them.

Rushing to them, Sunset approached Twilight and smiled. "Twilight, nice of you to come back..." she said to her and turned her attention to Liu Kang and panicked quickly bowing. "You must be Liu Kang... I know so much about you, Champion of Mortal Kombat, murdered by Shang Tsung, turned into a zombie by Dark Raiden..." she listed them down.

"Yes, not one of Raiden's wisest choices..." Liu admitted and looked to her. "But you must be Sunset Shimmer... Twilight told me about you on the way here." he said to her.

"Hopefully she didn't mention a few details..." she cleared her throat and backed up. "Anyways... there's someone who's been wanting to see you." she turned to Lao.

Seeing him approach, Liu Kang couldn't believe his eyes... but one look at his fellow monk, he knew for certain that it was the real Kung Lao. He approached him as the two monks stood before each other, they hadn't seen each other since Liu Kang's death at the Wu Shi Academy. "Kung Lao..."

Smiling at him, Kung Lao held out his hand as Liu took it and shook it firmly. "Liu Kang..." he responded and hugged his fellow shaolin as tears brimmed. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you..." he said to him.

Hearing it, Liu Kang simply smiled and held him after being apart for so long. They were more than friends, but brothers to one another. "It wasn't your fault Kung Lao..." he said to him as he let go of him. "There was no way of knowing what would happen in that time, what's important right now is that you and I are here. Brothers in arms once again..." he said to him.

Kung Lao formed a smile and nodded to his brother, meanwhile the Main Six of the human world smiled happily for their reunion. Pinkie of course, was crying her eyes out. "Oh by the Elder Gods! This is such a beautiful moment, I can't stop crying!" she cried out as she sobbed tears of joy for the two shaolin monks.

"Pinkie Pie, please don't cry... we're happy too..." Fluttershy said to her.

"Yes darling, so please... stop the waterworks and lets take this chance to hang out with Twilight before she heads back to Equestria." Rarity said to her and looked to the princess. "Wouldn't you agree darling...?" she asked her.

"You can definitely say things have started to change when Liu Kang and his friends showed up... but in sort of a good way." Twilight said to her and the others. But suddenly, something immediately caught her attention as she looked towards a bush noticing a small blue light. "Helloooo..." she walked towards it.

Watching it happen, Sunset followed her curious to what she saw. "What is it Twilight...?" she asked her only to look and see what she found. The small blue light that has been following them since they left Sunset's house. "Oh my god... is that what I think it is...?" she asked her.

"Yes... its a Willow of the Wisps..." Twilight responded to her as she observed the little wisp. "But how did it get here...?" she asked.

"I'm not sure... but its possible it came here the same time the Dazzling's came here." Sunset theorized as she examined it.

"Actually, I arrived here the same time as Kung Lao did..." said the little wisp earning surprised look from the girls and the shaolin monks. "What...? You never saw a talking wisp before...?" she asked them.

Rarity let out a scream as she backed up into the others falling to the ground, meanwhile Kung Lao approached the wisp and kneeled down to her. "Never thought that I would have a spiritual companion... who are you little wisp...?" he asked her.

"Oh, sorry... but give me a second." she said to him as she began to glow brightly. Kung Lao shielded his eyes from the intense light, as it began to dim... revealing a teenager in the wisps place. Her skin was light blue, her hair was a soft raspberry blue, her clothes were a grey shirt with a violet heart with wolf features. Her jacket was dark blue with violet trim, her skirt was the same violet color, and she wore dark blue shorts. She smirked holding a hand to her hip and looked to them. "Now then... onto introductions. My name, is Chi... I was created by your ancestor. The Great Kung Lao..." she introduced herself.

"Wait, you were created by my ancestor...?" Kung Lao asked her.

"Yes... he created me in case something were to happen his direct descendent." Chi said to him.

Surprised by this, Kung Lao could almost believe her. But if she truly was created by his ancestor... there was only one way to find out if it were true. "If that's so... how capable are you in defending yourself...?" he asked her.

Smirking at his question, Chi walked towards the school but turned to him. "If you want to know... give it your best shot..." she said to him as a way of accepting his challenge. Kung Lao saw her take a stance seeing it as a similar form of northern shaolin martial arts. He smirked at her preparing to fight.

"Now hold on you two, don't-" before Applejack could interfere, Liu Kang got in her way to stop her. "Liu, what the hay are you doing?!" he asked him.

"Let them fight... some battles are a test of skill, and he needs to earn her trust." Liu explained to her and looked to the fight.

Seeing this, Applejack looks to the fight knowing she couldn't stop it even if she tried. So the Main Six stood and watched as the shaolin and the wisp stood and faced each other preparing to fight. At that instance, Chi made the first move and charged at Lao throwing a fast punch towards him. Quickly reacting, Kung Lao blocked her attacks and threw quick jabs at her. But to his surprise... Chi's body formed into that of a serpent, avoiding his punches and grabbed his arm making his eyes widen. "Didn't see that coming..." he muttered only to get lifted off the ground and thrown at the wall of the school crashing against it.

The Main Seven and Liu Kang winced and cringed from seeing it happen to him. "Bet that hurt..." said Rainbow Dash as she cringed from seeing it.

"I almost felt it..." said Sunset as Chi tossed Kung Lao to the ground sliding on the ground. "You alright Kung Lao...?" she asked him.

Groaning from what happened... Kung Lao sat up shaking his head from what happened. "Did anyone else see what happened...? Because that was a total embarrassment..." he said as he rubbed his head.

Chi was laughing as she held her stomach feeling like she's going to bust a gut. But she looked to him with a serious expression. "That all you got...? I thought you were supposed to be the descendent of the Great Kung Lao... perhaps I made a mistake..." she taunted him.

And boy did it work... Kung Lao stood up from the ground and charged at the wisp throwing fast punches at her. But Chi kept dodging as her elastic body dodged his punches. She then threw a punch at him, but while she wasn't looking... Kung Lao took off his bladed hat and went to slice at her. She panicked and quickly dodged the blade, only for Kung Lao to grab hold of her and kicked her down seeing her roll across the ground and crash inside a bush. Putting his hat back on, Kung Lao smirked and looked towards the bush. "How was that, little spirit...?" he asked her.

Groaning from what happened, Chi quickly realized she over estimated his abilities. But she got up out of the bush and turns to him. "Alright... no more Ms. Nice Wisp!" she threw a punch at him as her fists shot blasts of energy at him. Seeing this, Kung Lao blocked each and every blast she threw at him and leaped back avoiding her blasts. He soon grabbed hold of his hat and tossed it behind her, earning a surprised look from her as she looked to him. "What... was that...?" she asked him.

Smirking at her question, Kung Lao immediately disappeared through light and teleported behind the wisp as she looked behind her seeing him. "Now you know..." he said to her as he swung a backspin kick landing it against her face sending her flying through the air seeing her crash against the ground. "Disappointed yet?" he asked her.

Shaking her head from it, Chi got back up and turned to him. "So far, I'm impressed... but you haven't won yet." she reminded him as Kung Lao smirked and stood in his fighting stance. The wisp meanwhile, gave the shaolin a devious smirk as she charged at him and leaped into the air. Kung Lao was about to attack her, but she shape shifted into a blue wolf and snarled knocking him down to the ground.

"WHOA NELLY!!!" Applejack cried out. "Now that's something you don't see in every Mortal Kombat game...!"

"You said it, she's a completely different character." Rainbow Dash pointed out watching the fight.

"Although, animalities aren't that uncommon.. right Liu Kang...?" Sunset asked him.

Hearing her question, Liu turned directly towards her to answer. "You're right about that Ms. Shimmer... every kombatant has an animality, but they rarely use them to kill their opponents. This is more like she can fight as both a wisp, a human, and a beast." he explained to her.

Meanwhile, Chi was in the middle of trying to maw Kung Lao's face as he tried to keep her from doing so as he struggled a bit. "This is not what I had in mind...!" he exclaimed and quickly kicks her off. "But you're not the only one with a few tricks..." he said to her as his eyes began to glow. He tossed his hat to the ground as his body changed into his leopard animality, and snarled at Chi with fangs and claws showing. The two beasts circled one another as their growled and snarled at each other... Chi meanwhile leaped into the air as Kung Lao leaped at her as the both struck at each other with their claws landing back on the ground. Kung Lao turned facing Chi and charged while her back was turned, tackling her down to the ground as the two beasts clawed at one another.

The Main Seven watched it as they winced and cringed from seeing the brutal fight between a leopard and a wolf. "This is insane... should someone stop the fight before ASPCA are called? Or worse, the police!" asked Rarity.

"Rarity's right, this is going to draw a lot of attention if this keeps going..." Fluttershy said to them.

Hearing this, Liu Kang turned to them knowing what had to be done. "The only way for it to end is for the other to be defeated, or forced to surrender." he said to them and looked to the fight.

Meanwhile, Chi charged at Kung Lao and leaped snarling about to bite down on his neck. But Kung Lao avoided her bite and bit down on her arm and threw her down pinning her down. He changed back to his human form, and kept her pinned down. "Do you yield?" he asked her. Changing back to her human form, Chi wasn't willing to surrender just yet as she vanished and appeared behind him wrapping her arms around his neck trying to choke him out. Kung Lao struggled from it as he tried to break free... but it soon hit him as he recalled his training back at the Wu Shi, and figured it would be better to battle with his wits rather than brute strength. So feeling the wisp trying to knock him out by choking him out, the shaolin passed out from it.

Smirking at it, Chi released him only for Kung Lao to snap his eyes open and grab hold of her. Her eyes widened in shock from seeing what had happened. "Not good!" she got pulled towards him as he flipped her onto the ground holding her up on his knee, throwing down rapid punches against Chi's face leaving large bruises against her face.

The shaolin pulled her up and kneed against the back of her head, knocking her away from him seeing her hit the ground. She groaned in pain from it as Kung Lao stood up looking at her. "If you were truly created by my ancestor, I can honestly say I'm impressed..." he admitted to her.

Groaning from his assault, Chi sat up from her defeat showing her bruised face. "I should never have underestimated the skill of the Great Kung Lao's heir..." she admitted and smiled. "Give me a quick second..." she said to them as she wiped the bruises off her face like nothing ever happened. "Much better..."

Twilight was surprised from what she had just witnessed as she approached the wisp observing her. "Amazing... I knew wisps were unique in their own way... but I never would have expected something like this." she said to her.

"Well, wisps can't actually get hurt and have permanent marks to go along with them." Chi explained to her and looked towards Kung Lao. She stood up facing him and bowed. "Kung Lao... heir to the Great Kung Lao... I apologize for doubting your abilities. Can you ever forgive this little wisp for being so arrogant...?" she asked him as she looked to him with puppy dog eyes trying to look sad and cute.

Seeing this, Kung Lao knew that she was just messing with him to the point he shouldn't. But given that his ancestor appointed her to be by his side, how can he question his motives? He looked to the wisp and reached over touching her shoulder. "There's no need to forgive... I was only testing your skills, and it is quite amazing you were able to keep up with my fighting style. But with a few adjustments, your fighting style could be improved..." he said to her as he pulled his hand away.

Chi looked to him sensing the purity in his heart, and smiled as she gave him a playful punch to his shoulder. "Thanks brother... I'll keep that in mind." she said to him. Meanwhile the Main Seven approached along with Liu Kang to congratulate Kung Lao on his victory and welcome Chi to their group.

Shao Kahn's Throne Room, Outworld

In Outworld, Shao Kahn sat alone in his empty throne room... filled with spite and hatred for the Earth Realm Defenders. No matter how many times he tried to win against them... they continue to win with the aid of the ponies of Equestria. Suddenly, the silence was broken as the doors to his throne room were opened. He looked and saw that it was Sheeva who broke the silence as she walked into the throne room. "Sire... you will not believe who I came across in my scouting mission in Equestria..." she said to him.

"And whom might that be...?" the emperor asked her.

Right on cue, Onaga approached seeing the emperor and glared in hatred of him. "Does this answer your question Shao...?" he asked him as he folded his wings. "I take it you never expected to see me again..."

Glaring at the Dragon King, Shao stood from his throne summoning his war hammer. "You dare come here... after you tried to betray me when I was close to obtaining the power of Blaze?!" he shouted at him slamming his hammer against the ground.

Onaga snarled at him spreading his wings. "You speak to me of betrayal...?! You poisoned me and stole my throne! Therefore, you are not one to speak of it you hypocrite!" he roared out.

The two leading heads glared at each other about ready to rip each other apart. But before they could kill one another... Sheeva got between them stopping them. "Stop, both of you! There will be time for you both to kill each other later... right now, we must focus on the Earth Defenders. I had just received news that Liu Kang and Princess Twilight had just traveled to a parallel world." she informed them.

Backing away, Onaga wrapped his wings around him like a cloak. "Why should we care about that...?" he asked her.

"For once I am in agreement... give us one good reason why, Sheeva..." Shao said to her making his hammer vanish.

"It would be a good opportunity to strike them while they are vulnerable... with Liu Kang out of the way, the Earth Defenders would be leaderless. Giving you a chance to invade Equestria..." Sheeva explained to them.

Thinking it through... the two rulers looked to each other knowing that she makes a valid point. Shao looked to her and nodded to the female Shokan. "Very well... you shall go with Mileena... she's served her punishment long enough." he said to her as Onaga nodded in agreement.

Right on cue, Mileena appeared before them as she stretched from being in her room for so long. "It feels good to be out of that room after so long... so... where to father...?" she asked him.

"You will be going to the parallel world with Sheeva to kill Liu Kang, along with Princess Twilight..." Shao explained her mission to her.

Hissing from hearing her name, Mileena summoned one of her sai's and threw it at one of the guards piercing its head. She turned to him with a glare that was mostly meant for Twilight. "Consider the job done father..." she growled and walked away with Sheeva to a portal to that world.

Watching her go, the Dragon King let out an amused chuckle from seeing what she did. "She certainly is the daughter you should have had..." he admitted to him but gives him a glare. "Do not think I'm not going to kill you later..." he warned him.

"Same with you pathetic lizard..." Shao responded to him returning his warning to him.

Canterlot High School, Gym

Back at Canterlot High, the Main Seven and the shaolin monks were in the gym talking about what has happened in recent events in Equestria, giving Kung Lao and Chi a chance to get caught up. "So all that happened... man, what was I doing when I was unconscious...?" he asked himself.

"You were still a soul at that time... so your arrival to Equestria didn't happen until the vortex had you sent here to this world." Chi explained to him earning surprised looks from everyone else.

"Wow... and I thought I knew everything..." Pinkie muttered as she held her head a bit.

"That aside... if Shao Kahn is looking to invade this realm... Equestria, is it?" Kung Lao asked Sunset as she nodded to him. "Then it will need all the help it can get... how soon do we leave...?" he asked them.

"Now hold on darling, you just got here... I'm sure your job can wait..." Rarity said to him.

"Actually Rarity, Equestria's protection is more important right now... I know it sounds like we're leaving early, but its important that we return as soon as possible." Twilight said to her and looked to Sunset Shimmer. "We could also use your help as well..." she said to her.

Surprised from what she said, Sunset looked to her with her surprised expression. "Me...? But... what if Princess Celestia doesn't accept my help after everything I did...?" she held her arm and looked away. "The horrible things I said to her..." she muttered.

Hearing it, Liu Kang approached her and gently touched her shoulder. "Forgiveness isn't always easy to earn... it takes time, and patience... but once you face Princess Celestia, it will be like facing the demons of your past." he explained to her as Sunset looked away knowing it will be hard for her to face them.

"Liu's right... I made a lot of mistakes in the past that almost got me killed... I can't even begin to imagine what awaits me. But I know if we stick together, we can survive this... all of us..." Kung Lao said to her as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry... if you have trouble facing her... we'll be right by your side."

Hearing it, Sunset looked to him seeing the honesty in his eyes... she didn't know how to react, but she smiled at him and nodded to him. Chi at that moment smiled and leaped in the air cheering. "Alright! We're going to Equestria!" she cheered out. Suddenly the doors to the gym get punched open revealing two familiar faces. She turned to them seeing its Sheeva and Mileena. "Aww crud... they just killed the mood..."

"Oooohh Princess Twilight... hope we're not late for class." Mileena said to her as she pulled out her sai's. "Because I have special plans for you for taking my Flashy from me!" she roared out.

"He was never yours to begin with, you psychotic nut ball!" Twilight exclaimed to her.

Mileena hissed at her preparing to attack, but Chi formed into a serpent and coiled around her throwing her at the bleachers seeing her crash against them. "Mess with her, you mess with us!" she exclaimed to her.

Kung Lao stood beside her standing in his fighting stance. "On that, I agree..." he said to her as Mileena got back up and hissed at them. She charged at them to kill them violently, Kung Lao dodged her attacks and knocked her away as Chi grabbed hold of her slamming her elbow against her nose causing it to bleed. Mileena snarled from it and threw her sai's at Chi to kill her, but the wisp managed to catch them and throw them to the ground as she leaped into the air kicking her in the chest knocking her down. Kung Lao managed to catch her and looked to Chi. "Good form, Chi!" he threw her over slamming her on the ground.

"Thanks Lao!" Chi responded and saw Mileena teleport above them, and went for a dive kick at Kung Lao. Chi however wasn't going to allow her to harm her partner and grabbed hold of her leg. "Not cool lady! No one pulls a sneak attack and gets away with it!" she threw her away.

Mileena screamed as she crashed against the ground, but she got up and glared at her. "If anything... you should have learned not to upset me...!" she snarled and charged at them. Chi smirked and went to strike her, but Mileena ducked from her punch and grabbed her arm and flipped her over as Chi flopped onto the ground and groaned from it. "Now lets see what color you bleed...!" she went to kill her.

Chi panicked and quickly dodged it grabbing hold of her arm, she kneed Mileena in the head as Kung Lao threw his hat at the female tarkatus, scratching her face forcing her to scream. "Nice one Lao...!" Chi quickly kicked her away breaking free of her grip. She flipped backwards slamming a strong kick against her jaw making her fall back.

Kung Lao took the chance to teleport and appear in front of her, and spin around tackling her chest. Forcing her to roll across the floor, Lao held his hat and waved his arm in a pattern and tossed his hat as it struck Mileena in the pattern Kung Lao made. She let out a couple of grunts from his attacks but glared at him. She charged at him and threw a few jabs at him landing a few at his ribcage, she kicked him at his leg causing him to grunt as she went to bite down on his neck. But he grabbed her arm forcing her to bite it, causing her to wince as tears brimmed forcing her to cry out. He pulled a back spin and kicked her in the jaw seeing her fly across the room, seeing her crash against the weight set. "Hope that did it..."

Suddenly, Mileena busts out of the weights that held her down as she let out a roar and glared at both the monk and the wisp who looked to her with panicked looks. "Okay... she's tougher than we fought..." she admitted.

"There's no stopping that crazy woman...!" Rarity said to her friends.

"Trust me, she's tougher than she looks..." Sunset pointed out looking to Mileena. "Not only that, she's still Kitana's half sister..."

"Don't worry you two... she's almost exhausted..." Liu Kang assured them as Mileena charged at Kung Lao with what strength she had left inside her.

The Shaolin avoided her quick jabs and blocked her punch landing the palm of his hand against her face fracturing it, Chi took the chance to join the fight by jabbing at Mileena's abdomen leaving big bruises on them and she threw a strong uppercut slamming it against the tarkatus' jaw launching her in the air. Kung Lao saw it as the one chance to finally bring her down, and leaped into the air grabbing her. "Time for you to take a nap!" he threw her down seeing her land right on her head fracturing both her head and her neck and plopping onto the ground.

"Nice work partner..." Chi said to him patting his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Mileena was slowly regaining conscious as she held her head. "Curse that hat wearing monk...!"she muttered under her breath only to hear a low growl behind her. She turned around and saw Chi glaring and growling at her, causing Mileena to panic. "Now look, hold on... this is all just big misunderstanding... I'm sure we can work this out." she tried to reason with her.

But Chi wasn't in the mood to listen as she snarled at Mileena close to biting her as the tarkatus screamed at the top of her lungs, quickly shutting here yes as Chi snapped her jaws in front of Mileena getting her to flinch and open her eyes seeing she was only inches away from her. Chi smirked at the tarkatus but soon glared at her with eyes that went from violet, to red instantly as she growled at her. "The next time you mess with me or my partner... I'LL BITE YOU IN TWO!!!" she roared at her causing Mileena to scream from hearing it and faint showing how pale white she turned.

The Main Seven were surprised to see this side of her as they stayed a good distance away. "Remind me not to get on her bad side..." Applejack said to them.

"Ditto..." Pinkie agreed with her.

"Ohh, but its not over yet... look...!" Fluttershy pointed as Sheeva approached Kung Lao.

Turning to the female shokan, Kung Lao knew that it wasn't over as she approached him. "That was a good display... both of you fought valiantly. But I will face only one of you in single kombat... my honor against your own, to show who is truly the greatest warrior here..." she said to them.

Chi was about to accept the challenge, but Kung Lao stopped her from doing so as he turned facing her. "Not this time Chi, let me handle this one..." he said to her. Chi didn't want to miss out, but she couldn't go against his wishes either. She nodded her head to him, and backed away for him to face Sheeva. The Shaolin turned towards the Shokan and stepped forth to face her. "You wanted a challenge Sheeva... well you got one." he said to her.

Sheeva let out a deep chuckle as she stood in her fighting stance. "Now I know why they call you the lesser Shaolin Monk... always so boastful..." she said to him.

"In every way, I am Liu Kang's equal... I won't let some shokan say otherwise." Kung Lao said to her as he stood in his fighting stance. The female shokan went to strike him, the shaolin dodged her punches and grabbed one of her arms punching against her muscles forcing her to cry out in pain as he swung a back spin kick at her. But Sheeva managed to grab hold of his leg causing him to panic. "Not good..." he yelped as she swung him towards a wall.

Everyone watched as Kung Lao crashed against it landing on the ground, they winced from it knowing that had to hurt. Rainbow Dash leaned towards Sunset with a worried expression. "What are the chances that he might lose..." she asked her.

"On a scale of one to ten... I say six..." Sunset said to her.

Sheeva walked towards Kung Lao as he was still down, he rolled onto his back and saw her standing over him. "I don't suppose we can talk about this...?" he asked her only for her to grab him by is neck. "Guess not!" he panicked as she tossed him over. He rolled onto the ground and stood back up seeing her charge at him, he took his hat and threw it at her foot tripping her as she stumbled towards him as he landed a strong uppercut against her jaw sending her flying through the air crashing against the wall.

"So far he seems to be holding his own, but she's twice his size... and she could just as easily snap him like a twig like Goro." Applejack pointed out to everyone.

"He's not giving up yet, so we need to have faith that he'll make it through this." Twilight said to them.

Meanwhile, Sheeva got back up from the ground and glared at the Shaolin for his assault. "You certainly have skill... but this is the end!" she blasted him with a fire ball, seeing it land against his chest forcing him to fall down. She chuckled as she walked towards him, and leaped in the air. "This is the end for you monk!" she descended towards him.

Kung Lao rolled onto his back and saw it happening, his eyes widened knowing where the situation was going. She's basically a big boot, about to crush him like a bug. He quickly got out of the way, as Sheeva crashed onto the floor causing the boards to break. The Main Seven flinched seeing it knowing that could have been Kung Lao, he meanwhile got back up and charged at her landing a few strong punches against her face, and grabbed hold of her flipping her onto his knee. He threw fast jabs at her face, and kneed her in the back of her head throwing her over. She hit the ground groaning from the intense pain on her face, but she wasn't out of the fight yet. She got back up and glared at the monk, he saw the glare she gave him but was not intimidated by it. "Last chance to surrender peacefully Sheeva... take your friend here, and go..." he advised her.

"Shokan's never surrender, we fight to the end!" Sheeva exclaimed and charged at him. Chi watched as she charged at Kung Lao and turned her arm into a snake letting it slither in front of the her and quickly trips her over. She screamed as she stumbled towards Kung Lao, giving him a chance to throw a few punches at her chest, landing a couple against her face, fracturing her cheek bones.

He turned to Chi with a scowl knowing what she did. "Chi, didn't I tell you to let me handle this?" he asked her. She shrugged her shoulders from his question, refusing to answer while forming a halo over her head to show how innocent she is. But Kung Lao didn't buy it, one bit... Meanwhile, Sheeva shrugged off the pain she was feeling and growled at the monk while his back was turned. She grabbed hold of him and held him up in the air. "Crud!" he struggled.

She held him tightly as she slowly started to rip him apart. "Time for you to die Shaolin!" she slowly pulled his arms and legs to rip him piece by bloody piece as she listened to him scream.

"Chi... now would be a good time for you to do something right now!" Sunset cried out knowing Kung Lao needed help.

Hearing it, Chi couldn't deny that fact as she looked to the fight. She glared at the shokan and rushed towards them, and leaped kicking her in the jaw, breaking it. Sheeva dropped Kung Lao giving him a chance to finish the fight, he leaped up and kneed her in the face breaking her nose. She cried out and fell to the ground, groaning in pain from it. Kung Lao got up seeing she's finally down, and looked to Chi giving her a look. "I know... I know, I should have stayed out of it... but I had to get you out of that situation." she said to him.

He did want to scold her, but given what he went through... how can he deny that fact? "I will admit, you did a good job..." he said to her landing a playful punch on her shoulder. He soon turned his attention to Sheeva who slowly regained consciousness. "Alright Sheeva... last chance... return to Outworld, while you still can..." he said to her.

Getting up from the floor, Sheeva walked towards the unconscious Mileena and picked her up as a portal opened. But before she left for outworld, she turned towards them with a glare. "You got lucky monk... but next time we meet, you will die..." she warned him as she walked into the portal as it closed.

"Well, she has some nerve... I hope we never see her any time soon..." said Rarity as she crossed her arms.

"I hear ya Rarity... but you have to admit, she is a tough opponent..." said Applejack as she glanced to Sunset. "I take it this isn't the only time we might see them...?" she asked her.

"Knowing Shao Kahn, he'll be relentless... which is why I have to return to Equestria and help stop him." Sunset said to her and looked to the others. "I'm sorry guys, but I need to help Princess Twilight and the others in this fight against Outworld..." she said to them.

"Hey, its cool Sunset... besides, the Friendship games are only months away, so you got all the time you need." said Rainbow Dash. "We'll even cover for you while you're away..."

"Thanks guys, I appreciate it..." Sunset said to them and looked to Kung Lao and Chi. "So... you guys ready to see my real home...?" she asked him and his half sister.

The two looked to one another and smiled looking to her. "If it means saving it from Shao Kahn, why not..." Kung Lao said to her.

"Yeah, but if we're gonna be fighting this overlord... give me a sec to slip into something more comfortable." Chi said to them as her clothes began to glow. Forming into her warriors outfit, that had the same colors as her clothes, with a pair of shoulder guards, arm bracers and shin guards similar to Scorpions armor. She looked to them and smiled. "Alright... ready..."

"Wow... I have to admit, for a wisp... you're full of surprises." Twilight said to her.

"Yes... I look forward to fighting by your side Chi." Liu Kang side to her and bowed to her. Chi bowed to him in return and they both stood up straight. He turned to his attention to Twilight, Sunset, and Kung Lao. "You three ready to head to Equestria?" he asked them. The fellow shaolin and the wisp smiled and nodded to him, and the group left the room to head back to Equestria.

"Fair warning Kung Lao... when we get to Equestria, you might be in for a surprise..." Twilight warned him.

"Gee, can't wait..." Kung Lao said sarcastically as they walked out the door together.

Shao Kahn's Dungeon, Outworld

In Outworld, a guard holding the keys to Raiden's cell approached to deliver his meal. She approaches the door and took the key unlocking it. "Lunch Raiden..." she said to him as she walked into the room. "I hope you haven't lost your appetite... by the way, I snuck in a little surprise in the bread..." she informed him as she set the tray down.

Raiden took it and smiled a bit. "Thank you Lin... its nice to know there are some Outworlders have some dignity..." he said to her as he set the tray down on the ground.

She shrugged her shoulders from the thought of it . "Not all Outworlders are evil... they just live in fear of the emperor, trying to survive." she said to him and frowned a bit.

The thunder god looked to her and reached touching her shoulder. "Then you should leave... be away from here. You do not want to be around what will happen..." he said to her. Lin looked at him taking his words to heart and walked out of the room. Raiden looked to his food and looked out knowing Celestia will come for him. He took a bite out of his bread to keep up his strength, and looked to the keys he took from Lin and hid them away. "I'm sorry Lin..." he muttered and continued eating.
