Chapter 2: Hunted

Sunlight had left the city a few hours already. He decided to take a short break but suddently, he had a vision. He saw a group of person facing an army of monsters somewhere on an island. The vision disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

“What was that? He thought. These memories are not mines.”

He had another vision where a man mastering lighting was fighting a shirtless man controlling fire. Then another vision, where a man with metal arms was fighting an older version of himself in a cave. After a few minutes, the visions stopped again.

“Something told me these visions will come back, he thought. Beside, i have no idea where to go now.”

He decided to take a nap for a few hours, but he was interrupted only after 2 hours by a noise coming from the woods. He got up and stayed on his guards. He heard a gunshot and teleported to avoid the bullet.

“You are fast, said a deep voice from the forest. Not a lot of people can avoid bullets”

A man walked in his direction. he was dressed like a Cowboy and was holding two revolvers at his direction.

“Erron Black’s the name, bounty hunting’s my game” said the mercenary

“You think that these guns can kill me? Good luck” said Sunlight.

He suddenly received a laser beam in the back but his body absorbed it immediately

“Whoever did that, know that lasers have no effects on me” said the hero.

Another man showed himself, behind Sunlight. He was wearing a cybernetic eye and was smelling like crap.

“You will be an interesting opponent, he said to Sunlight. My name is Kano, Mercenary and leader of the Black Dragon”

“Last time, you defeated me, said a voice he recognized. But this time, i came with friends.”

Skarlet showed herself and faced him.

“How did you find me so fast?” asked Sunlight.

“Don’t underestimate the power of blood magic, dear” she answered.

He looked around him.

“Don’t think about teleporting away, said Kano. We will just retrieve you if you flee somewhere else.”

“I don’t have intention to run, answered Sunlight. I deliver myself to Shao Khan”

“He gave us the order to capture you, said Erron. But i was expecting you to fight us at least, Why surrender without a fight?”

“I could easily beat you 3, he answered. But then, Your emperor will just send someone else, And i don’t want to risk innocent people’s life. Plus, if i don’t kill you, thing i won’t do, you will just keep hunting me.”

Shang Tsung, listening from distance, smiled devilishly. A few hours later, the trio (and Shang Tsung), came back to Shao Khan’s castle. They brought Sunlight in front of Shao Khan’s throne.

“We got him, master, like you wanted us to do” said Skarlet.

“I am surprised though, said Shao Khan, I expected him to beat you...”

Shao Khan gave a look to his minions and Sunlight, and saw they were not hurted.

“He surrendered on his own, said Kano. Told us that he didn’t want to risk innocent lifes”

“Hum, you 3, you can leave, said the Emperor. Kollector, give them their reward before they leave.”

“As you wish, Master” answered Kollector.

The trio and Kollector left the room.

“Oh, so, you are the big bad meanie that i heard so many things about... Shao Khan, right?” asked Sunlight.

“You have been well informed, answered the Overlord. Yes, i am Shao Khan, the Conquerer of Realm.”

“You want to know why i surrender to your minions?” asked Sunlight.

“Told me, why?” answered Shao Khan.

For only answer, Sunlight created a huge ball of flame that he threw at Shao Khan.

“That was the easier way to get to you, Asshole, said Sunlight. You will pay for what you did to these people!!”

Shao Khan laughed. Sunlight used his magic to create a wall of flame blocking all the issues and doors.

“Your minions won’t help you, he said. Prepare to feel the burn!!!”

Sunlight used his magic to create a puddle of ice under Shao Khan. This one fell on the ground heavily

“You know what they said, the bigger and heavier you are, the harder you will fall!!” said the hero

“You just doomed yourself, fool, said Shao Khan. I will crush you like a bug!!”

“Come at me, Fatty!!” said Sunlight, charging his magic.

Shao Khan, enraged, dashed in direction of Sunlight, his hammer ready to crush his bones. Sunlight teleported to the last moment and hit Shao Khan from behind with a beam of light.

“Oh, come on, said Sunlight. What is the use of having this big bad hammer if you can’t hit someone with it?”

During this time, Shang Tsung and Sindel were heading in direction of the throne room. They were stopped by a wall of fire.

“Our master is inside, said the sorcerer. He seem to need our help, but...”

“But what? Asked Sindel. Speak!!”

“This is too bad that you won’t be able to help him”

“What?” said Sindel.

Shang Tsung used a spell on Sindel to make her fall asleep...

“You, traitor, You...Will...Pay” said Sindel, before fainting.

“Sorry, but i have my plans, he said, smiling. And i will not let you or Shao Khan ruin them.”

Shang Tsung absorbed her soul. Skarlet arrived and saw the body of Sindel, lifeless.

“I don’t feel bad for her, said Skarlet. But i won’t let you hurt Shao Khan!!”

“Oh please, said Shang Tsung, would you not prefer ruling Outworld instead. Make Shao Khan your minion?”

“I want, she said, But how?”

“If you accept to follow me, i will told you.”

“You have picked my curiosity, she said. What is your plan?”

Shang Tsung smiled. Meanwhile, Shao Khan had not touched Sunlight once, and was beginning to get very mad.

“I have to admit he is resistant, thought Sunlight. None of my attacks seems to affect him and he won’t give up, i don’t want to kill him, i am not a killer.”

Shao Khan was suddenly impaled by a spear of solid blood. Skarlet appeared behind Shao Khan.

“Skar...Skarlet? You dare betray me?” he said.

“Don’t forget who created her, Shao Khan” said Shang Tsung.

“Why are you betraying me?” he said.

“Because i know about the Sands of Time, I know about this reality and that Kronika is behind it” said the sorcerer.

“So, this world is an alternative reality? Thought Sunlight. That explain why i had these visions, they must be from another reality, another timeline, the one before this one...”

Shang Tsung absorbed Shao Khan’s soul and laughed. Sunlight made the flames disappear and Kollector entered the room. He saw the body of Shao Khan on the ground as Shang Tsung finished to drain the life out of him. Instead of being mad, he smiled at the sorcerer. Shang Tsung had talked to Kollector a few times ago, about the Sands Of Time and his plan to take control of it, Kollector accepted to follow Shang Tsung, this one promising him endless treasures to collect, free to collect without giving anything to anyone. But Shang Tsung had is own plan: Gain control of the Hourglass, with the help of his allies, and also someone strong enough to defeat Kronika. He knew Sunlight was the person he needed. And Once Kronika would be out of the way, he would betray Skarlet and Kollector, and use Kronika’s Crown to gain the power to defeat Sunlight. Then, he would finally rule over this world for eternity. Shang Tsung told Skarlet and Kollector to play nice, in order to make Sunlight think they were victims of Shao Khan’s tyranny and gain his trust.

“Why did you do that to him? Asked Sunlight. I thought he was your master?”

“We never liked him, said Skarlet. He treated us like trash and we had enough.”

“But he was just a pawn in this world, said Shang Tsung. Listen to what i will say”

Shang Tsung proceeded to talk to Sunlight about Kronika, a godly being with the power of controlling time. He also mentioned that this timeline was her creation, a timeline where the good never existed. He also said that she used the Sands of Time to do it. (He didn't told him about the crown, though) Sunlight shared with them his visions and that he was not from this universe.

“If we realize that exploit, said Shang Tsung, We will be able to repair the damages made by Kronika in this timeline”

“He lie, this is evident, thought Sunlight. I don’t trust him, this guy is the evil incarnated. I can feel it. But if this story about the Sands of Time is true, i will be able to restore this timeline by the one i saw in my visions. This old man know where to find it, but he need me to make it to the Hourglass, and i need him to lead me to it. I reserve to him something he won’t see coming, something that even with all the power he will possess at this moment, will defeat him. I just have to play his games, for now”

Sunlight looked at the group and smiled.

“What is your gain in this adventure, asked Sunlight. I doubt that we want to use the Hourglass for the same reasons?”

“You are right, said Shang Tsung, but we will bargain about this when the time will come. You need me if you want a chance to restore this timeline and i need you. We need each other...”

“True, said Sunlight. I will follow your lead until we make it to the Hourglass. Then, we will fight on who will have it.”

“I love the way you are thinking, said Shang Tsung. Very well...”

Erron Black and Kano appeared behind a door.

“Count me in, said Kano, a chance like that appear only once in a lifetime”

“I just want to shot scumbags, said Erron Black, I am sure Kronika will not let us arrive to her.”

Shang Tsung smiled.

“The more we are, the easier it will be for us to win, said the sorcerer. But our priority is to protect Sunlight, he is our secret weapon against Kronika”

“Wait, what? Why?” asked Sunlight.

He looked at Sunlight,

“She would have already reseted this timeline, said Shang Tsung. But she didn’t, and this is because of you. You said to have visions of another reality and if this is the case, then you are not mentally affected, or affected differently from us. That mean that no matter how many time she reset this timeline, she won’t be able to reset your memory. "

“And that mean i would just have to remind you of that, said Sunlight. Well, in that case, She will have to kill me, but why she didn’t do it since the time?”

“Knowing Kronika, said Shang Tsung, She will let us arrive to her before. She love to play with her enemies. She know that she can’t simply reset this timeline over and over again. She won’t have other choice than killing us. But she can’t kill us if she doesn’t know where to find us. But we can’t hide forever, we will need firepower, I have no doubt she will send Cetrion and Shinnok, her childrens, two Elder Gods, to hunt you down.”

“You think i can’t beat them?” asked Sunlight.

“Not with the power you have actually, Skarlet told me that your blood was special. You have the power of the fire and of the dragons in you. I know a place, know as the Pyramid of Argus, where a fire elemental deity named Blaze live. He is a being of fire like you, and his power can rival those of gods, even Kronika.”

“Will he help us?” asked Sunlight.

“No, he is evil, unfortunately, said the old man. He was sealed in the depts of the Pyramid because of that. But his power can serve us in another way”

Without preventing anyone, he threw a blast of fire at Sunlight, fire that is immediately absorbed by his body.

“Like me with the souls, you can absorb fire, heat and Light. If you can absorb the power of Blaze, you will be powerful enough to take on Cetrion and Shinnok. And with them out of the way, Kronika will stand no chance agaisnt us”

“She still have her bodyguard, you know, the one that can't be killed!” said Skarlet.

“He will be no match for all of us, said Kano. What are we waiting for? Let’s head to this pyramid”

The group, led by Shang Tsung, walked in direction of their next destination.

Chapter 3: In the pyramids

Shang Tsung, Skarlet, Sunlight Blaze, Kollector, Erron Black and Kano were arrived at the entrance of the Pyramid of Argus.

“Wow, this is impressive!! Said Sunlight. How do we get to Blaze?”

“Kronika knew about the power of Blaze and tried to recruit him, but he refused, said Shang Tsung. So. She sealed him in the deepest place in the Pyramid of Argus. How i know that? Well, I will explain you later.”

The group entered in the pyramid. They soon arrived at a room where 3 different paths showed up.

“We will split in 3 groups, said Shang Tsung. Kano and Erron will be the first team, Skarlet and Kollector, the second team. Me and You, Sunlight will be the last team. Oh, i almost forgot, take these”

Shang Tsung gave to everone a magical device to communicate between them and the group splited in 3. Kano/Erron took the path on the left, while Skarlet and Kollector took the one on the right. That let to the two magicians the last option: the middle path.

[Meanwhile, at Shao Khan’s castle]

Kronika was watching in her hourglass the scene where Shang Tsung was betraying Sindel and Shao Khan.

“Well played, Sorcerer, she said for herself. I guess i underestimated you, Where are you now?”

Geras, her bodyguard, suddenly appeared from nowhere.

“I know where he is, said Geras. I located him in the Pyramid of Argus”

“Shang Tsung probably want to free Blaze, she said. He must not succeed!!”

“But this is not all, he said. They are 6 in total. Shang Tsung, Skarlet, Erron Black, Kano, Kollector and another one unknown to me”

“Oh, in that case, you will need reinforcements” said Kronika

Kronika summoned Kitana, Kung Lao, Jade ( all of the 3 in their Revenant version), D’vorah and Noob Saibot

“You 5, she said, go with Geras to the Pyramid of Argus. Kill everyone in there, and then, bring Shang Tsung to me. I want to kill him personally, for good, this time”

“Count on us” said Revenant Kung Lao.

She teleported the group in the Pyramid, by team of 2. During this time, Shang Tsung and the rest of the group were now deep into the Pyramid. Skarlet and Kollector arrived in a room full of treasures.

“Gold, said Kollector. Tons of gold.”

“Not now, Kollector” she said.

“I know, he answered. But count on me to raid this room when our mission will be over”

“You will go no further!!” said Revenant Kitana and Revenant Jade.

“I will take Kitana, you, you take Jade”

Kollector deployed his 4 daggers and faced Revenant Jade.

“I will make sure to keep your rod after i kill you, Jade, he said. Jade have great value”

“A Naknada like you have no chance to beat a Edenian Warrior like me.” she said.

Skarlet and Kitana were staring agressively at each other.

“I will take pleasure in killing you Kitana” said the blood sorceress.

“Same for me, she answered. I will kill you slowly and painfully.”

On the side of Kano and Erron Black, they were facing D’vorah and Kung Lao.

“I will take care of that ugly motherfucker, I have unfinished business with her” said Erron Black.

“In this case, hat boy is for me” said Kano.

Erron Black deployed his guns and pointed them in direction of D’vorah. Kano shot a laser beam at Kung Lao, who avoided it.

“Last time we saw each other, you devored my bounty, said Black. If hate when someone stole my bounty, I will kill you, and claim your bounty as compensation”

“This one will not be easy to take down, cowboy” said D’vorah.

“So, hat boy, said Kano. Don’t underestimate me”

“You will be no challenge for me, said Kung Lao. I’ll chop your head off "

“I will kill you with your own hat” said Kano

Finally, on the side of Shang Tsung and Sunlight. The duo was in front of the last room before the final one.

“We just have to cross this room, said Shang Tsung. After that, we will be in front of the door leading to the chamber where Blaze is kept captive. But you will have to do the final part of the mission alone.”

“Why?” asked Sunlight.

“None of us, except you, will be able to stand the heat in the chamber, he answered. This place is literally an oven”

“For that, you will have to beat us first” said Noob Saibot, who appeared behind Shang Tsung

“Don’t resist, sorcerer, said Geras, appearing from the ground. For your treason, Kronika will kill you”

Sunlight faced Noob Saibot and Geras faced Shang Tsung.

“I will take care of Geras, said the soul sorcerer. I think you can take on Noob Saibot.”

Noob attacked Sunlight and this one blasted him away with a magic light ball.

“What? He said to Saibot, you are afraid of the light? How sad for you!”

“Light magic or not, he answered. I will kill you.”

“So, Kronika discovered my plan” said Shang Tsung to Geras.

“And she ordered me to stop you” he answered.

“That will be more harder than you think” said the old man.

Shang Tsung and Geras started to fight. On his side, Sunlight was avoiding Noob’s attacks, or blocking them with a magic shield.

“Why don’t you attack me? Asked Bi-Han. Are you afraid to face Death?!!”

“If you insist” said Sunlight, who was holding two blades made of Light magic.

Noob Saibot and Sunlight started clashing, but Sunlight quickly took advantage and Noob Saibot was knocked back.

“Give up, he said, your Shadow magic will never surpasse my magic of Light.”

Noob laughed and the room was suddenly filled with darkness.

“Are you sure? He answered. Let’s see how you fight totally blinded!”

Meanwhile, Skarlet and Kitana were still battling. Kitana had took the advantage of the fight and was keeping Skarlet on her toes. She then kicked her against a wall and was about to kill the blood witch.

“I told you, i am way more powerful than you, Skarlet! I always was!” she said, seeing that her enemy could not escape

“But not smarter, said Skarlet. Take this, bitch!!”

She activated a trap under Kitana, who made her fall in a pit. This one used her fans to grip on the sides. Skarlet smiled and use her magic to cut Kitana’s hands. She then fell for good in it. Kollector, him, had found in the pile of treasures a relic that he used to turn Jade into, well, a jade statue.

“How did you do that, Kollector?” asked Skarlet.

“I used this, he answered, showing the relic to her. I was looking for this beauty for centuries, it have the power to turn into statue any being, Outside of Elder Gods and Titans. But the setback is that it can be used only once...”

The duo continued their way in the pyramid. Meanwhile, the battle between Erron Black and D’vorah was ending. Same for the one between Kung Lao and Kano.

“What is the problem, Cowboy? Asked D’vorah. Realizing that you will die soon?”

Erron Black smiled to her.

“What make you laugh?” she asked.

Erron Black aimed his gun at D’vorah’s head.

“Boom!” he said, firing at her.

The bullet make her head explode.

“Explosive bullet, said the mercenary. I was keeping one for you”

He got up and shot Kung Lao in the head as this one was about to kill Kano.

“Bullets solve everything, he said. Are you okay, pal?”

He helped Kano got up.

“I didn’t need your help, he answered. But thank you.”

They headed to the next room. On his side, Sunlight was still in the total darkness, taking the attacks of Noob Saibot. This one was laughing. He ran in direction of Sunlight with the intention of finishing him. But at the last second, Sunlight dodged and blasted him away with a ball of light. Noob fall on the groud, making the darkness disappear.

“How?” he asked.

“I was faking all this time, answered Sunlight. You see, I wear goggles that allow me to see through illusions, like the one you used on me. To make it simple, i was seeing you from the start.”

Suddenly, Noob Saibot shadows began to fade away, revealing his original body.

“My shadows, what have you done to me!?” he asked, confused

“I replaced the shadows in you with light, said Sunlight. I used a reformation spell on you”

“I...What do you want from me?” he asked.

“Nothing, he answered. But we can use your help to defeat Kronika”

“You are really trusting the sorcerer?” asked Bi-Han

“No, of course not, answered Sunlight. But i have no choice for now.”

The two arrived in the room they were before, and saw Geras throwing Shang Tsung against the wall. They combined their power of fire and ice on Geras. Shang Tsung got up and materialised a magical fire Cobra he threw at him and the bodyguard of Kronika disappeared in a portal.

“We have one more ally on our side now” said Sunlight, pointing Bi-Han

“Good, the more we are, the better it is” answered Shang Tsung.

Skarlet, Kollector, Erron Black and Kano arrived in the room.

“Guess we all made it, said the cowboy. Let me guess, you too were attacked by Kronika’s minions?”

“Now that we killed them, said Shang Tsung, Kronika will probably send Frost and her army of Cyber Lin Kuei. We will hold them back while you, Sunlight, will free Blaze. Don’t forget that you have to absorb his power.”

Shang Tsung used a spell to open the last door, and Sunlight passed it.

Meanwhile, on the Island of Time, Kronika was furious, She had summoned Frost, Quan Chi and Sektor.

“You, and your armies, head to the Pyramid of Argus. Make this place their grave!”

The trio disappeared.

“You will not win, Shang Tsung, she said. Uh?”

“I am sorry, Kronika, said Geras. They beat me and killed the other.”

“I know, i saw everything. But defeating them was not my intention, she said. What did you learned? I want to know everything!”

“Shang Tsung is not the one you should be afraid of” said her servitor.

“Then who?” she asked.

Geras used his sand magic to create a Tri-dimensional replica of Sunlight.

“His name is Sunlight Blaze, and he is dangerous” he said.

“Let me see” she said.

She touched the head of Geras and read his memories.

“No! She said. Cetrion, Shinnok!! Head immediately to the Pyramid of Argus!! When you will see him, kill him!!”

“Yes, Mother” said Shinnok and Cetrion.

The siblings left and let her alone.

“That won’t be enought, she said. I need more power...And i know who will be perfect”

“Who are you thinking of?” asked Geras.

“Onaga” said Kronika.

Chapter 4: Sunlight Blaze meet Blaze

Sunlight was actually in the chamber where Blaze was sealed. He looked around him and saw nothing excepted lava and fire.

”If i was Kronika and wanted to seal a being of fire able to rivalise with gods, he thought, I would seal him deep, very deep in something almost impossible to resist against. Like...Of course”

Sunlight put his hand into the lava and felt a burst of energy in his body.

”Here goes nothing!” he thought, jumping in the lava pit

He started to swim in direction of a hole in a wall. To avoid himself to explode due to the colossal amount of heat his body was absorbing, Sunlight had to constantly reject the excess of energy out of his body. That was mentally hard to do and if he released his focus for a few seconds, he will die. After a few minutes, he finally arrived to a secret room and got out of the lava.

“Finally!! He said. Now, let’s just find Blaze”

Sunlight looked around him and saw a path, blocked by a veil of magic. He touched it and get knocked back.

”Grr, great, i should have known that would not be that easy.” he thought

He tried to teleport on the other side, but got knocked back again.

“Teleportation doesn’t work either, he said. Hum, let’s try something else”

He used his magic to throw a burst of flames on the magic veil. After a few minutes, the magic protection began to weaken.

”That seem to work, but this is not enough, he said. Maybe fire is not the only thing i need, i maybe have to use another element...”

He tried combining fire and lightning, but that didn’t work. Then, he decided to try with ice.

”I hope my control of ice magic is good, i didn’t use it in a while.” he thought.

The hero threw a beam of ice and a beam of fire on the veil and after a few seconds, the veil broke.

”Classic” thought Sunlight

He walked in direction of the path. Then, when he arrived in the other room, he heard metal clanging and immediately moved his head to the left, avoiding a deadly ice sting.

“Oh, you are fast” said a female voice.

Sunlight saw in front of him a woman with a cybernetical body and spiky frosted hairs. Suddenly, he have visions of two mens probably warriors, judging by their outfits. One mastering fire, and the other, ice, fighting this woman.

“Oh, so you are one of Kronika’s goon, Frosty...right?” he asked

“I am more than that, i am one of her generals, she said. And my name is Frost!”

A bunch of what was looking like cybernetic warriors suddenly appeared around Sunlight, surrounding him.

“Kronika gave me the order to kill you, said the cyborg woman. You will not get to Blaze, not before passing me first, cyber Lin Kueis, attack!!”

Sunlight avoided the first and sliced his head off with a laser blade (by combining fire and light, he discovered that he could create laser based weapons). He did the same to the others coming at him. Frost iced the whole room and then threw ice beams at him, immobilizing him in a ice bloc.

“That was not that hard” she said.

Sunlight broke out the ice prison and threw a powerful laser beam at Frost, who is projected agaisnt a wall.

“I first have to deal with her soldiers, thought Sunlight, They are machines, so they must be weak to electricity”

Sunlight blasted a wave of fire all around the room and made the ice melt.

“A futile effort, said Frost. I can just freeze it again.”

Sunlight smiled and revealed his hand charged with electricity.

“Oh no, don’t you dare do that!!!” said Frost, angry and scared.

“Oh yes, i will” he answered.

He put his hand in the water and electrocuted all the cyber warriors, including Frost. Who fainted.

“I guess i can say that was quite the...shock for them” he said.

He walked in direction of a statue representing Blaze and blasted it with fire. But as the fire destroyed the statue, the room began to shake and the water started to evaporate. The cyber Lin Kueis also began to melt. Sunlight looked at Frost and teleported her away, with all her mens. She was mean, but he didn’t want her to die, same for the others. Then, in front of him, the statue broke and revealed an humanoid being made of fire.

“Are you the one who freed me?” asked the fire being.

“Yes, you must be Blaze, right?” he said.

“This is my name, yes, said Blaze. Why did you free me?”

“I need your help, answered Sunlight. I need your power”

“I am sorry, but i can’t leave this Pyramid, he said. Kronika not only sealed me in this statue, but she also casted a spell preventing me to leave this place.”

“There is another way you can help me, said Sunlight. You see, i have the ability to absorb heat, to boost my power, and Shang Tsung think that if i absorb you, i could become powerful enough to take on Kronika. It is right?”

“Shang Tsung, uh? Said Blaze. Absorbing my power will effectively give you a power rivalizing with gods, but in order to do that, a fusion is necessary”

“In that case, let’s do it!!” asked Sunlight.

“I see that your soul his pure, and you have good intentions, he answered. If i accept to fuse with you, it will be not reversible. Just promise me you won’t let Shang Tsung or Kronika win”

“I promise, said Sunlight. I have something for him when the moment will arrive”

Blaze began to pronounce words in a language Sunlight couldn’t understand. Suddenly, the hero was teleported in front of Blaze. The elemental being pronounced the final phrase and fused with Sunlight’s body. He was envelopped of fire, his costume turned into a badass red and gold draconic armor and magic wings appeared on his back. He teleported outside the room and got his allies and everyone else out of the pyramid, who was beginning to crumble down. Sunlight appeared in front of Shang Tsung and the others.

“Oh, you succeeded, said the old sorcerer. And just in time, Kronika sent her kids in the battle. You will take on them while me and the others will hold the armies of Frost and Quan Chi.”

Sunlight saw coming in his direction Shinnok (In his Corrupted form, Kronika giving him access to the Jinsei)

“Is this Shinnok?” Asked Skarlet.

“Not Shinnok, said Shang Tsung. This is Corrupted Shinnok. Kronika gave him access to the Jinsei. In this form, he is almost invincible, but you can manage to beat him. Remove the amulet he wear out of his body and he will lose this form and die”

“Got it!” said the hero

Sunlight teleported in front of Shinnok, smiling at him.

“You are ugly, you know that? He said. Don’t worry, i know how to help you with this problem”

Sunlight punched him in the face but Shinnok didn’t seem to be affected.

“I didn’t feel that... My turn, now!” said Shinnok

“Oh fuck...” said Sunlight.

He punched the hero and sent him crash in the ruins of the Pyramid of Argus. Sunlight touched his cheek and spitted out a teeth.

“Oh, said the hero. He will pay for that!! Okay, i am not holding back!!”

Sunlight teleported in front of Shinnok and blasted him with a powerful Light beam. The Elder God was sent on the ground and screamed of pain. Sunlight continued to blast him, this time with fire, then lightning, ice and beams.

“And now, do you feel that, Motherfucker!!” he yelled to him.

Shinnok got up, grabbed Sunlight by the wings, and sent him on the ground. He then crushed him with a giant skeleton hand.

“Die, human filth!!” said Shinnok

“Not today!” said Sunlight, teleporting out of the hand.

“Let’s solve this somewhere else” said Shinnok.

The Elder God teleported himself and Sunlight in what was an apocalyptic land

“Welcome in my domain, Welcome in the Netherrealm, he said, laughing devilishly. Now, let’s get serious...”

Chapitre 5: Light Vs Dark

Sunlight and Shinnok were facing each other in the Netherrealm.

“So, here, you don’t have to care about hurting innocents, said Shinnok. Not that i care. Plus, in this Realm, i have way more power!!”

“You made a mistake bringing me here, Shinnok, told Sunlight. You told me that in this realm, you have more power. But it is the same for me too, all that fire, this heat, you gave me access to an unlimited supply of it.”

“So maybe this fight will not be a waste of my time” said Shinnok.

He rushed in direction of Sunlight, who parried the attack and delivered a powerful kick in the Elder God’s stomach. Shinnok projected a deluge of dark energy on him and Sunlight countered by throwing a magic light beam. The shock of the two attacks caused a big explosion that blew away many demons. Sunlight sent on the evil god a blast of magic lightning that have no effect.

“That was a while since i met someone able to use thunder magic, said Shinnok. I think that was in another timeline, The guys name was Raiden. I couldn’t get my revenge on him for torturing me, but you will be a compensation.”

At the mention of the name of Raiden, Sunlight had flashbacks of the God of thunder torturing Shinnok, he also saw his battle against the army of the Netherrealm. He came back to reality just in time to avoid Shinnok’s punch. Sunlight blasted him away with another beam of light.

“You are too slow, said Sunlight. That form make you big and resistant, but it also make you heavier. You have no chance to match my speed in your actual form.”

“I don’t need it anyway, said Shinnok, returning to his original form. Very well, now, admire!”

Shinnok teleported behind Sunlight and stroke him with a skeleton fist and pounded him on the ground. In her base, Kronika was watching the battle with a smile. Sunlight teleported to avoid being fisted a second time and slashed Shinnok with a Light spear he made appear out of thin air. Shinnok grabbed him, turned on himself and threw the hero away. This one put is hands in the ground and stop moving. He then dashed in direction of Shinnok, covered in light and fire, slashing him multiple times with light daggers and magic projectiles. After a few moment, the evil Elder God parried his attacks and countered with magic bone blades.

”Interesting, said Kronika. This young hero is indeed powerful. Cetrion, can you hear me?”

She was using telepathy to talk with her daughter.

”I hear you, Mother” answered Cetrion.

”Prepare to join the battle soon” said Kronika.

Shinnok and Sunlight were still battling with blades, and it was looking like no one had the upper hand. Sunlight teleported a few step backs to find another strategy.

”Shit, this guy is better than i thought, thought Sunlight. I will have to be smart if i want to defeat him, My magic of light affect him, but it won’t be enough, i need to find his weakness...”

He suddenly remembered what Shang Tsung said to him sooner, about an amulet that was is weakness. He have visions of Raiden using it to trap Shinnok, then a young blonde girl doing the same. Sunlight saw that Shinnok was wearing this amulet on him.

”Plan B, take that amulet from his body and seal him, he thought. But he won’t let me get my hands on it...I need to break his guard down.”

Shinnok threw multiple beams of dark red energy at Sunlight, who avoided most of them. He was hit by one and got knocked back.

”Ouch, that one actually hurt, said Sunlight. I need to find a way to take the amulet away from him.”

Shinnok continued firing beams at Sunlight, who was doing his best to avoid them. He combined fire, air and ice magic to create a fog and block the view of his opponent.

“You think you can hide from me?” asked Shinnok.

He blasted the fog away with a powerful wave of dark magic and saw nothing. Sunlight arrived from behind him and tried to grab the amulet, Shinnok laughed, grabbed him and threw him away.

“Oh, so you know about the power of my amulet, said Shinnok. I guess i will have to be more careful now...”

Sunlight appeared in front of him and kicked the god in the balls. Then, he hammerfisted Shinnok on the ground for finally landing on him like a meteorite. Sunlight took the amulet and tried to seal Shinnok, but nothing happen. The Elder God laughed again and got back on his feet.

“Stupid human, said Shinnok. This is a copy you hold. Were you actually thinking that i would bring on me the only thing able to defeat me, on a battlefield? I am not stupid.”

Sunlight threw the amulet away and beat up Shinnok, not holding back his power. He threw laser beams, light beams, fire beams, many sort of beams at the Elder God, who was overwhelmed by the power of the attacks

“How? Said Shinnok. 10 minutes ago, you were not that strong!”

“This is because i was holding back, said Sunlight. But not anymore, prepare to feel the burn!!”

Sunlight threw a storm of light blades on Shinnok, who blocked them with a magic wall. The hero teleported behind him and stabbed him repeatedly with magic daggers. He then grabbed the god and threw him away against a rock formation. Shinnok got enraged and turned back to his Corrupted form.

“I wil kill you!!!” said Shinnok.

The evil god projected a beam of dark energy at Sunlight, who blocked the attack with a magic beam. The dark energy beam suddenly overwhelmed Sunlight's magic beam. Sunlight teleported once again, this time, behind Shinnok, and threw a beam of fire. The god was knocked back a few meters away, before deflecting the attack.

”He is too resistant, thought Sunlight, Defeating him in that state would require almost all of my capacities, and after him, i am sure Kronika will send Cetrion. I only have one option, I was keeping it for Shang Tsung and can only be used once. But i have no choice...”

Sunlight focused in his hands a ball of magic.

“I will need a few moments to charge the spell, he thought. But Shinnok will not let me that much time”

Sunlight flew high in the sky. Shinnok projected a big beam at him, that he avoided at the last moment. The Elder God multiplied the attacks, forcing Sunlight to dodge. This one dove in direction of the ground and landed in front of Shinnok and then ran in his direction, the magic ball charged fully in his hand. Shinnok tried to knock him back, but Sunlight avoided all of the blows.

“Game over, motherfucker!!” he said, releasing the magic ball inside Shinnok’s body.

The Elder God made a few steps back and started to return to his normal form.

“What is happening to me? He asked, what have you done?”

Shinnok’s body began to turn into stone, slowly.

“A petrification spell, answered Sunlight. It work only on beings made of darkness or with corrupted souls. And the more corrupted the victim is, the more powerful the effect of the spell is. I was keeping it for Shang Tsung and coan only be used once in a lifetime.”

“Well played, said Shinnok, Well played.”

He then turned completely to stone and Sunlight returned to the Pyramid of Argus where he saw his allies in a bad situation. Sunlight rushed to help them, but is hit by a blast of energy that sent him to the ground.

“Not so fast, said Cetrion, revealing herself. Congratulation for defeating my brother. But i prevent you, i am way more powerful than him”

She teleported herself and Sunlight in a place full of vegetation, water and rocks.

“Welcome to my sanctuary, said Cetrion. This place will be your grave!!”

“This place is beautiful, are you sure you want to fight here?” asked Sunlight.

“I will repair all the damages after i kill you, she answered. Now, let this Kombat begin.”

Chapter 6: Light vs Light, Darkness vs Darkness

Sunlight was facing Cetrion, in the middle of her sanctuary. She made the first move and threw at him a flurry of sharp stone projectiles. Sunlight protected himself with a magic barrier and returned the favor by projecting fireballs to her. Cetrion protected herself with a stone barrier.

”I have the feeling this battle is going to last an eternity” thought Sunlight.

Cetrion used her magic to make plant and rock monsters appear.

“Get him, my minions!!” she said.

The magical creatures attacked Sunlight, who destroyed them easily using fire beams.

“Like if these creatures were strong enough to defeat me, said Sunlight. We both have control over the elements, this battle is useless and a waste of time.”

“Maybe we can both control the Light and the elements, said Cetrion, but the difference is that i am an Elder God, while you, you just have the power of a god. My power surpasses yours.”

“Power is not everything, Cetrion, said Sunlight. I will find a way to end that fight, trust me.”

Sunlight fired a flurry of fire beams on Cetrion, who countered with water jets. Sunlight froze the steam and turned it into ice spears that he threw at Cetrion. The Elder Goddess took them directly without flinching.

“You will need more than ice spears if you want to best me, said Cetrion. Let my show you what real power is!!!”

She materialized hundreds of rock spears that she threw at Sunlight all at once. This one dodge most of the projectiles with agility and grace, and blocked others with a magic barrier. But 3 projectiles hit him in the left leg, the chest and the right shoulder, making the hero fall to his knees. Cetrion laughed and prepared to crush him under a big boulder. Sunlight teleported at the last moment to avoid being crushed. He removed the sharp rock projectiles out of his body and healed himself using a spell.

“I hope you can do better than that” said Sunlight.

Meanwhile, Shang Tsung and his allies were still fighting the armies of both Frost and Quan Chi. Kano and Kollector had died a few moment ago in the battle, and got their souls absorbed by Shang Tsung. On his own, the sorcerer killed almost a thousand of enemy soldiers (also stealing their souls) After a moment, Shang Tsung judged that he had enough power and decided to take on Quan Chi. He teleported directly to the Dark Sorcerer with a smile.

“I will enjoy taking your soul after i kill you, Quan Chi” he said.

“And i will enjoy corrupting your soul after i killed you” answered Quan Chi

The two sorcerers started to battle. Meanwhile, Skarlet and Erron Black were fighting Frost.

“You have no chance against the two of us” said Erron Black.

“Don’t underestimate me, said Frost. I still have an ace in my sleeve. Cyber Lin Kueis, engage the self-destruction sequence!!”

The cyber ninjas obeyed and start to shortcut, Frost tried to get away but got trapped in a bear trap. Skarlet then shaped the blood she collected from the enemies she killed into chains and ropes to hold the villain on the ground.

“Not so fast, said Erron. If we die, we will take you with us”

“I know that you value your own life more than anything else, said Skarlet. Told your soldiers to cancel their self-destruction protocol and you will stay alive.”

“You fools, she said. Once that their self-destuction program is activated, i can’t cancel it.”

“There is hundreds of these cyber Lin Kueis, said Skarlet. If they all explode, everyone in a area of 2 kilometers will be vaporized!!”

Frost contacted Quan Chi and told him to leave the area, before being killed by the duo of killers. Quan Chi transported himself and Shang Tsung in the Netherealm. Erron Black sat on the ground and smoked a cigar.

“Well, 10 seconds before we die, he said. I regret nothing, but do you think you can kiss me?”

“You wish” she said.

“Well, at least, i tried” said Erron

The cyborgs exploded. The power of the explosion destroyed the Pyramid of Argus and everything in an area of 2 kilometers.

Shang Tsung and Quan Chi landed on the ground. They quickly got up and continued to fight. Quan Chi suddenly saw the statue of Shinnok, not so far away from him, as well as Shang Tsung.”

“Look like your master can’t help you now” said Shang Tsung.

“I will find a way to free him from his curse, said Quan Chi. I will do it after i kill you!!!”

The Dark sorcerer attacked Shang Tsung directly, this one parried each of his moves and knocked him back. Then, he summoned a magic fire Cobra to bound him.

“You will never best me, Quan Chi, said the old man. And now, Your soul is mine!!”

Shang Tsung absorbed the soul of Quan Chi. Then, he killed the rest of his army and stole their souls too. He walked in direction of the statue of Shinnok.

“Now, your turn, he said. Your body may be stone, but your soul is not.”

He proceeded to absorb slowly the soul of the Elder God. He laughed, feeling the power flowing in him. After a few minutes, Shang Tsung stopped.

“Because i am in a nice mood today, i will let you keep your soul, he said.”

Meanwhile, Sunlight and Cetrion were still fighting, The Elder Goddess was starting to get overwhelmed by Sunlight’s attacks. A critical blow finally sent her crashing against a tree.

“How this is possible, she said, trying to get up. I...can’t lose to you! Curse you!!!”

“I don’t wish to kill you, Cetrion, said Sunlight. But if you persist to be loyal to your mother, then you will let me no choice. This is why i ask you to fight by my side. We both are on the good side, you know it...”

“I...If i betray my mother, she will make me pay, she said. I can’t disobey to her”

“She is manipulating you, said Sunlight. You are her most precious ally, she know it. If you and me team up against her, we will win, i am sure of that.”

Cetrion stayed silent. Sunlight had visions of Cetrion being absorbed by Kronika, increasing her power.

“What do you prefer? Asked the hero. Sacrificing yourself for your mother, and change nothing to the fact she might lose, or fight by my side, so we had a chance to defeat Kronika and save the world?”

Cetrion still stayed silent. She knew Sunlight was right about to who her loyalty should go. Teaming with her mother meant her death, she knew that Kronika would ask her to sacrifice her life for her. But teaming up with Sunlight meant that Kronika would kill her first for her betrayal. Cetrion got up and walked in his direction.

“Take my power, she said. But promise me that you will kill my mother...”

“I promise that in the timeline i will create, said Sunlight. You will have a better life, a life without Kronika, a life where you will be the Lighthouse for the forces of good.”

Cetrion smiled and transfered her power to Sunlight by putting her hand on his chest.

“Thank you, Cetrion, he thought. I will make sure your sacrifice will not be in vain.”

He then left the sanctuary, heading in direction of Shang Tsung location. Meanwhile, Kronika was in her headquarters, pissed that her son and daughter have both been defeated and absorbed by Shang Tsung and Sunlight. Then, she suddenly smiled.

“There is still a hope for me, she thought. Shang Tsung and Sunlight both want my Crown, and they will inevitably fight for it. Both have a similar power level and they will just exhaust themselves. I will send Onaga at this moment, And even if he fail, he will at least weaken them enough for me to achieve them both. But they are not stupid, this is why i need to bait them. And i know exactly what will do the job.”

Chapter 7:The Ultimate Kombat, part 1 of 3

Kronika was in her lair, she had watched both Shang Tsung and Sunlight battles. She saw Shinnok getting almost all of his power absorbed and Cetrion fusing with Sunlight. She was furious and worried. Now that both of them reached Godhood reseting the timeline was now useless. And the two of them were now too powerful for her, if they decided to team up against her. Not Even Onaga could beat them and she was lacking of ideas.

“I need to force them to fight each other, she said. But they are smart and they won’t be manipulated easily. If only i had something to make pressure on one of them. And i have just the tool to do it...

She used the Hourglass to check in the future, she saw her inevitable defeat and the one of Onaga too. Who had his soul absorbed by Shang Tsung. Then, she saw Shang Tsung and Sunlight fighting for the crown. After a few moments, she found what she was looking for.

“Interesting, That will definitively change the odds for me” she said, smiling.

Meanwhile, Sunlight had joined Shang Tsung on his island.

“Now that we defeated all of Kronika’s allies, she will have no choice but to fight us.” said Shang Tsung.

“Will she arrive soon? Asked Sunlight. Why did she not appeared yet? Maybe she saw her defeat in her Hourglass...”

A sandstorm suddenly began to rage and Kronika appeared.

“I indeed saw the future, she said. Yes, you two inevitably defeat me...”

“So why did you came here, then?” asked Sunlight.

“I also saw more than my defeat in the Hourglass, she answered. I saw really bad things, concerning you, Sunlight Blaze.”

“What about him, said Sunlight” pointing Shang Tsung.

“Oh, if you want to know, he will win at the end, she said. But there is more to that, do you want to know how he will defeat you?”

“Don’t listen to her lies, Sunlight, said Shang Tsung. She just want to divide us, so she can have a chance to win.”

“Says the man who is known for lying like he breathe, said Kronika. Let me show you, Sunlight.”

She teleported herself and the hero in front of the Hourglass. She showed him what she saw.

“No, he didn’t do that! Said Sunlight. This can’t be true!!”

“But you can prevent this sad fate from happening, she said. You just have to defeat the sorcerer right now, and by defeat, i mean killing him. Then, we will fight each other for the crown, she said.”

“If this is what it take to save her, then i’ll do it. That son of a bitch will not win!!”

Sunlight teleported him and Shang Tsung near a volcano. While the sorcerer was confused, Sunlight immediately punched him in the guts and then uppercuted him.

“Why did you attacked me? Asked Shang Tsung. I thought we were supposed to team up against Kronika...”

“I changed my mind, Sorcerer, he answered. Let’s settle this now!!”

“This is fine for me, he said, getting up. With your soul in my possession, taking on Kronika will be a piece of cake.”

“If you can beat me” said Sunlight.

He threw at Shang Tsung a barrage of fireballs and rocks. The sorcerer dodged them and threw multiple magic projectiles in return. Sunlight blocked them with a barrier and summoned a tornado. He then put fire to it and sent it to the sorcerer. Shang Tsung summoned a giant fire cobra and stopped the fire tornado.

“I know a good part of your magic is based on the fire element, said Sunlight. But know that your fire magic got nothing on me!”

“My magic is soul magic, said Shang Tsung. Let me show you how powerful it his!!”

He turned into Shao Khan.

“You see, I can copycat the appearance of any living beings. But to be able to copy their powers, i need to steal their soul. I stole a lot of them in my life, some belonging to powerful warriors. Now die!!”

Shang Tsung threw at Sunlight a barrage of spears made of green magical energy, that he dodged, The sorcerer swang his hammer to crush him from above. Sunlight blocked with a magic barrier, which broke at impact. The shock made Shang Tsung’s hammer flung away. Shang Tsung turned into Quan Chi, and summoned an army of undeath warriors.

“Kill him, he said. I want him dead!!”

Sunlight took on the army of Revenants and made quick work of them, but Shang Tsung kept on summoning more and more.

“I can do this all day, said Shang Tsung/Quan Chi. Doesn’t matter how much of them you kill, they will just keep coming back until you get tired.”

Sunlight destroyed all of them with a big explosion and attacked Shang Tsung. The sorcerer threw dark magic projectiles on him but Sunlight either dodged or deflected. Shang Tsung took the form of Erron Black and started shooting at him. Sunlight deflected the bullets without any difficulty. Shang Tsung turned then into Kintaro and charged at Sunlight. The hero was hit by him and got thrown away. He quickly recovered and trapped the sorcerer in vines, immobilizing him. Shang Tsung burned the vines and turned into Scarlet. He took the blood of the Revenants and created hundred of sharp blood blades and spears.

“Dodge this!!” said Shang Tsung.

The sorcerer threw all of them at the same time, but Sunlight disappeared in the ground at the last minute. He got out of the ground a few seconds later and punched the man in the nuts, with a fist made of stone. Sunlight then returned under the ground and started engulfing Shang Tsung in the earth. The hero got out of the ground for good and strangled the sorcerer with a vine. He then used the vine to remove the sorcerer out of the earth, like a carrot. He released him violently on the ground.

“Give up, Shang Tsung, Don’t force me to kill you” said Sunligh

“I won’t give up, not so close of my goal. He said. Trust me, you will regret letting me live. This is you or me, you know it”

Shang Tsung took the form of Shinnok and impaled Sunlight through the chest with a magic bone spear and sent him near
The volcano

“Your soul is mine” he said.

Sunlight broke the bone spear and let himself fall into the lava.

“No!!” said the sorcerer.

The volcano began to shake. Sunlight got out from the lava pit. He was pissed and radiating of power.

“If you want to die so badly, he said, with a deep and menacing voice. Then die!!”

Sunlight grabbed the sorcerer by the throat at the speed of lightning and started to choke him. He brought the sorcerer above the lava lake.

“Your corrupted soul will be purified by the fire, said Sunlight. This is what you deserve for all the crimes you commited. Now, die!”

Sunlight broke the sorcerer’s neck and let him fall in the lava.

“You are next, Kronika, said the hero at her intention. I am coming for you!”

Chapter 8: The Ultimate Kombat part 2 of 3

Kronika teleported in front of Sunlight.

“Congratulation, she said. Shang Tsung will not be in our way anymore.”

“Yeah yeah, said Sunlight. You are next on my list, prepare to meet your doom, Kronika”

She smiled and sent Sunlight in the middle of a place he never saw before. That was looking like an arena of death, with spikes on the walls, themselves forming a cage around them.

“Kill him, Onaga, she said. Kill him and i will grant you everything you want.”

She then disappeared.

“So, you are the little earthling that i have to kill, said the dragon king. My name is Onaga, and i am the Dragon King, and you stole a power that is not your.”

“Dragon King? Asked Sunlight. Oh, that should be a good battle, i expect from you to be more of a challenge than Shang Tsung was.”

“Shang Tsung? You beat him?” asked Onaga.

“I killed him, said Sunlight. And Shao Khan is also dead.”

“Shao Khan is dead? That mean that the outworld is now mine to be!!” said the Dragon King.

“You won’t, said Sunlight. Cause I’m gonna kill you.”

“Oh oh oh, said Onaga. You don’t realize how powerful i am. I am so powerful that even the Elder Gods can’t defeat me. I am on the same power level as Kronika herself.”

Sunlight threw a boulder at the Dragon King. Then crushed him under another one.

“You talk to much!!” he said.

Onaga got back and cracked his head. He looked at Sunlight and flew in his direction. He grabbed the hero and threw him repititively against the ground. Sunlight teleported behind him and impaled him with a Rock Spear, but the rock spear broke on his back.

“A problem?” he said to the hero.

Onaga hit Sunlight with his tail and sent him flying against the wall. Sunlight managed to avoid hitting the spikes by teleporting at the last moment.

”I can’t hurt that guy with elemental magic, thought Sunlight. Dragons are not affected by them. I will have to use Light magic or Ice magic if i want to beat him”

Onaga projected astral energy in direction of Sunlight. The hero dodged the attack by hiding in the ground. Onaga smiled and deployed his wings. He flew high above the ground. Sunlight joined him soon and the two started an aerial battle. Faster than Onaga in the air, Sunlight took the advantage and cut one of Onaga’s wings with a sword made of light. The Dragon King fell on the ground. He raged and grew his wing back with dark magic.

“Not bad, he said. You are not as weak as i thought.”

”He also have healing magic?” thought Sunlight.

Onaga flew behind Sunlight quickly, grabbed him and pounded him agaisnt the ground. He hit the hero multiple times, breaking some of his bones. Sunlight escaped with teleportation and got up on his feet. He spitted some blood and casted a barrier to protect himself while healing. Onaga smash the magic barrier to pieces and tried to rip Sunlight in half. Sunlight teleported at the last second and reappeared far from Onaga. The Dragon King rushed in his direction, claws and fangs ready to tear apart his enemy.

”He won’t let me the time to heal, thought the hero. But he seem to use mostly physical attacks. If only i could...confuse him...or just blind him.”

Sunlight’s body suddenly glew in a bright light. Then, he increased the brightness time one hundred for a few seconds. Onaga was stunned and blinded by this sudden attack and yelled of pain.

”That worked!! Said Sunlight. Now, while he is blinded, i can heal myself.”

Sunlight took a few moment to heal himself with a spell, while Onaga was furiously punching the air around him, hoping to hit Sunlight. Sunlight charged then a big magic ball of ice that he threw at the Dragon King. The evil monster was frozen solid. Sunlight blasted him repetitively with light projectiles and magic beams. The ice broke and Onaga was projected away by the sheer power of the attacks. But the Dragon King got up fast and laughed at Sunlight.

“I did felt that, he said. But you will need more than that to defeat the Immortal Dragon King”

“I’ve got more in store, said Sunlight. I am just warming up....”

“And i was not fighting Seriously, said Onaga. Now, playtime over, time to die!!”

Onaga tried to hit Sunlight with a cosmic energy beam, but the young man hided into the ground and reappeared just after to hit Onaga in the crotch. He yelled of pain and rage

“Human, Gods, mutants, monsters, humanoids, said Sunlight. They all share a common weakness. You are not different.”

“I will kill you slowly and painfully for that, human. I am gonna eat you alive!!!” he shouted.

Onaga hit Sunlight at the speed of light with his shoulder, then stomped him and bite his arm, ripping it off. Sunlight yelled of pain. Onaga trashed him on the ground at repetition. He broke Sunlight’s remaining arm and his legs. Then grabbed him again and walked in direction of a giant spike, with the intention of impaling him. Sunlight tried to get out, but his pain was so strong that he couldn’t focus his mind. The Dragon King impaled Sunlight on the spike by his chest.

“I will watch you die, now, he said. This is only a question of minutes before you die...”

Sunlight was about to leave the world of the livings, his thoughts went to his parents, Celestia, his friends from C.H.S and the School of Friendship and finally, to Sunset.

”I am...Sorry, Sister, guess your brother won’t return home, he thought, at the doors of death. Please forgive me...”

But then, he heard her voice in his mind.

”Sunlight, can you hear me? She asked. Sunlight, stay with me!! We are coming to help you!!!”

A portal opened near Sunlight, from it came out Sunset Shimmer, and all her friends with her. Onaga saw them and ran in their direction to kill them too, but was immobilized by a magic force. Discord revealed himself.

“I will hold him back as long as you need, girls” he said.

Sunset ran in direction of Sunlight and was terrified by the gravity of his wounds.

“I am so...happ...happy to see you g...girls, said Sunlight with difficulty, due to his lungs being pierced. That guy..that guy was too much for me...”

“Leave him to us, said Rainbow Dash. We will take care of that big guy...”

Sunset removed Sunlight body, with the help of applejack, from the spikes.

“Discord, can you please heal him? After all, you are the one who sent him here!!” asked Applejack.

Discord moaned, but healed Sunlight completely with a magic beam. Sunlight got up on his feet and looked at his sister and his friends. He noticed than Twilight was not wearing glasses and had a different haircut.

“I called Princess Twilight and her friends instead of their C.H.S counterpart, explained Sunset. They know how to deal with big and tough guys. When we noticed you disappeared, I immediately searched everywhere in Canterlot to find you. Then, i informed Princess Twilight of the situation.”

“I sent my friends looking for you all around Equestria, continued to explain the Princess, for almost 3 weeks. We only discovered where you were because Discord told us.”

“I was feeling bad for you, he said. When i saw you fighting him, i knew you would need help. So, i told everything to her and Sunset.”

Sunset touched Sunlight’s hand and read his memories. She saw all of his battles since he landed in this world, his battle against Skarlet, Shao Khan, Noob Saibot, Frost and her cyber Lin Kueis, Shinnok, Cetrion and Shang Tsung. She saw Sunlight killing of cold blood the sorcerer, in his rage. Then finally, she saw Kronika.

“You lived all that? She asked to him. I can’t believe you killed someone, even if he was pure evil.”

“I had no choice, he said. That man was too dangerous to live.”

“That’s okay, she said. I am not mad at you. And who is that women, Kronika?”

“The Keeper of time, said Discord, reading an article of his cellphone. She is a Titan, which in this universe, is the most powerful race of divine beings. She control time and possibly reality itself.”

“Can you deal with her? Asked Sunset. You also have these powers.”

“I don't know, he said. I won't solve all of your problems by snapping fingers. Beside, when are you planning to take on that guy?”

Sunset, Twilight, and the rest of the group hold their hands and grew magic wings.

“Are you ready, girls?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Oh yeah, said Applejack. Let’s blast this guy!!”

“On my mark, girls” said Twilight.

“I am ready” said Fluttershy

“No one hurt my big brother, said Sunset. Taste the rainbow, Motherfucker!!”

The girls released a powerful rainbow laser on Onaga. The Dragon King yelled of fear and got turned into stone.

Kronika suddenly appeared, pissed off.

“No, that was not what was planned, she said. You will pay for interfering in my plans”

She changed the background into her lair, then, she erased everyone from time and reality, except Twilight, Sunlight and Discord, who were technically powerful divine beings, which could not be affected by the laws of time. The 3 were shocked by what happened.

“Sunset!!” said Sunlight

“Noooo!!” said Twilight.

“Fluttershy!!!” said Discord.

“You won’t be able to use your rainbow laser on me, she said. This is the end of the way for you, Sunlight, and your two friends won’t be able to stop me!!”

“This is the time, Twilight, said Sunlight. Let’s do this.”

“Now that i think about it, said Discord, i will help you fight her. You commited a big mistake, Kronika”

“You will pay for this, let’s fight her together!!”

Chapter 9: The Ultimate Kombat, Final Part.

Discord, Twilight and Sunlight were staring at Kronika. Discord snapped his finger and called in Celestia to assist them

“Why are you summoning me, Discord?!I was taking a shower!!” she asked.

“Good idea, Discord, said Twilight. With Celestia on our sides, we can do this!! But why didn’t you called Luna too?”

“Because someone have to raise the Sun and the Moon in your absence, Twilight” said Sunlight.

“Plus, said Discord. That ugly bitch Thanos’ snapped all of our friends”

“Is that so? She said. Then she must be stopped by all means”

Enraged, they attacked Kronika with a mix of magic lasers, But the Titan deflected or just avoided them easily.

“You will need more than beams to stop me” she said.

She used the sand of the Hourglass to create carbon copies of all her fellow allies, including Cetrion, Shang Tsung, Onaga and Shinnok.

“Finish them, she said. Kill them all!!”

The sand clones attacked the team, Sunlight destroyed Erron Black, Kano and Sindel clones with successive magic blasts and by cutting them in half with Light weapons. Celestia made Shao Khan’s clone explode with a powerful beam. Twilight destroyed the clones of Frost, Skarlet, Baraka and Kollector easily. Discord snapped his fingers and turned Shang Tsung clone into a glass statue that he shattered. He also turned Quan Chi’s clone into stone and another clone, of Goro, into plastic. Onaga attacked Sunlight, but this time, the hero was prepared and pulverise the clone with a mix of fire, electricity and light in a single beam.

“Not this time” he said.

Discord snapped his finger again and reduce into confetti the rest of the sand clones of Kronika.

“Your copies made of sand are not a match for us” said Twilight.

Kronika raged and stopped time.

“How can we be affected by this, thought Sunlight. I thought time laws didn’t apply to us.”

“You are only immune to the power of the Hourglass, but not mines. My time magic can affect you.”

Discord tried to snap his fingers, but Kronika froze his hands.

“No, she said. Don’t think about it, you freak of nature”

“Have you seen yourself into a mirror recently?” said Discord

“How dare you insult a Titan, she answered. You may be immortal, but there is fates worse than death, Spirit of Chaos. Once you 4 will be defeated, i will banish you into the Void.”

Discord turned his tail into a hand and snapped to free himself and the other from the grip of Kronika. Twilight stroke the Titan in the chest with a magic beam. Then, Celestia and Discord threw multiple beams at her too. Kronika was sent against the Hourglass and fell on the floor. The Keeper of Time began to use the Hourglass to summon warriors and monsters from past eras and timelines.

“You...Will...Not...Win!!” she said.

She sent the monsters attacking the group of heroes. When Discord saw that his friends were in difficulty and overwhelmed, he opened a portal and banished all of the monsters in another dimension.

“If you can’t beat them, you can banish them” he said.

Kronika was running out of ideas.

“You can’t beat us, Kronika, said Sunlight. Because unlike you, we are working as a team. If one of us is in difficulty, another will help us. You’ve lost, give up.”

Sunlight suddenly had a vision of a conversation happening between Shang Tsung and another man, called Liu Kang, he hear the sorcerer said:

“Without the Crown, you can’t control the Hourglass. It is only with the crown that you will be able to reset time”

Sunlight’s vision ended and he looked at Kronika.

“I am not surrendering, she said. If i can’t win, then you won’t win neither”

Kronika rejected the group away and floated to the Hourglass. She surrounded herself with a forcefield.

“I’d rather destroy the Hourglass than letting you win, she said. Without it, you won’t be able to restore this timeline!”

“I know how to stop her, said Sunlight. But i will need your help to get to her.”

“We listen” said Twilight.

The Hourglass was beggining to glow and shatter.

“The Hourglass will soon be destroyed, she said. I may have lost, but you will be the real losers without your friends.”

She turned back and saw that Sunlight was not with the group,

“Where is he?” she thought.

She was impaled through the chest by a spear. Kronika lost her concentration and fell on the ground. Sunlight revealed himself beside her. He smiled and took her crown, then freed his friends from Kronika’s spell. The titan tried to escape, but she was surrounded by the heroes.

“What should we do about her?” asked Twilight.

“I said: let’s kill her, said Sunlight. She will pay for what she did. The world doesn’t need her.”

His friends looked at him with surprised faces

“She can’t be redeemed, said Sunlight. She is a menace as long as she will exist.”

Sunlight touched the head of the Titan with his hand, then removed it after a few seconds. Kronika begin to turn into glass. His friends looked at him, then her, with shocked expressions. Before Kronika turned completely into glass, she said:

“Curse you all”

Sunlight then shattered her to pieces. Sunlight used the Crown and the Hourglass to bring back the rest of the Mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer.

“We are back? She said. Does that mean...”

She saw Sunlight, wearing the crown of Kronika and repairing the Hourglass. This one then used it to look in the timeline where his visions came from. He found it after a few minutes, and saw a chain of event leading to the defeat of Kronika by Liu Kang. He also see another chain of event coming from this moment leading to Liu Kang fighting Shang Tsung.

“Discord, bring everyone back to Equestria, said Sunlight. But you will stay to bring me back once i will have reseted the timeline back to his original.”

He obeyed and opened a portal from where he threw by force the group into. He then closed it and looked at Sunlight.

“Alright, let’s do this” he said.

Sunlight erased this timeline and replaced it with the one he saw in his visions. But with a few differences. He promised to Cetrion that she would have a better fate. So, in his timeline, he made sure that Cetrion would help the heroes. After doing it, he made the crown melt in his hands, destroying it.

“Alright, Discord, bring me back to Equestria, he said. The only thing that bother me, is that they will never know i saved them”

Discord opened a portal and Sunlight Blaze jumped in it. He appeared in front of his friends, inside the throne room of the royal castle of Canterlot. Sunset hugged him and so did his friends. Sunlight saw he had wings in his back.

“I swear Discord, if you do that again, said Celestia, i swear i will punish you!!”

“No, don’t. In fact, i have to thank him” said Sunlight.

“Why?” asked Sunset.

“He gave me the action i wanted to live, he answered. Even if i almost died, this adventure was awesome!! If he didn’t sent me in this world, it would have still been ruled by Kronika. Thank you Discord.”

“Oh, you’re welcome! He said. If you want to live more adventures, you know who to call”

“I think i had my dose of adventure for now, he said. I think i will just return to my normal life at C.H.S.”

Sunset whispered to Discord:

“Can you do the same for me, she asked. I always dreamed to be inside a video game.”

“Yes, i can! He said. That will be a pleasure to do it for you!”

“This is the perfect time to throw a Party!! Said Pinkie Pie. For our victory against Kronika”

She then looked at the Fourth Wall.

“Oh, have a nice day, she said. I hope you enjoyed reading this. And if you want to know, because the writter forgot to mention it, Kronika didn’t erased me and the others from existence, she just sent us to the Void. Well, goodbye!!”

“Who are you talking to?” asked Sunlight.

“Oh, the readers, she answered. You can't understand”

Chapter 1: A new world to explore

Sunlight suddenly woke up, and realized he landed in the middle of what looked like ruins.

“Wait, where am i? He said. This is not my chamber!!”

He got up and looked around, panicked.

“Alright, i need to calm down, he thought. Uh, i am visibly in the middle of a village.”

Sunlight explored the ruins and found hundreds of corpses, either burned, beheaded, or mutilated. He looked away, disgusted.

“Or what was a village, he said. Let’s see, corpses horribly damaged, destroyed houses, burned stuff everywhere...That village must have been raided...”

He suddenly heard cries. Cries that were coming from a child. He quickly found the source of the noises and saw a little girl, holding the body of a woman. Sunlight decided to talk to her, seeking answers.

“I am not here to hurt you, he said. Are you the only survivor of this village? What happened? Who did that?”

The girl didn’t answer, scared and traumatized. Suddenly, Sunlight noticed the body that the young girl was holding was still alive. He touched the body and used his magic to heal her. The woman woke up and the little girl smiled of joy.

“Mom!!” she yelled.

The mother looked at Sunlight.

“Thank you for saving me, Mister, she said. What can i do for you in return?”

“Just answer to my questions” he answered.

“I will do my best to answer to them” she said.

“First, i need to know what happened here?” asked Sunlight.

“An army of monsters attacked our village, said the woman. Some had four arms, other were dressed like barbarians. I heard they were leaded by someone called Shao Khan.”

“Why?” asked Sunlight.

“First, we thought they would just pass their way after stealing our possessions, she explained. But then we realized all they wanted was to destroy and kill everything and everyone. I was critically injured, but i succeeded to put my daughter in safety. I was about to die, but then you saved me.”

“Can you told me where i am and who is Shao Khan?”

“This place is called Earthrealm, she said. And for who is Shao Khan, i am surprised you haven’t heard of him before.”

“Oh, this is because i come from another univ... Uh, another realm” answered Sunlight.

“In that case, said the woman. Shao Khan is the ruler of a realm called Outworld. He is tyrannic and cruel, living to conquer and destroy.”

“In that case, that monster must be stopped, he said. I swear to find him and punish him for what he did.”

“You won’t stop him, said the woman, No one can.”

“At least, i will try, he said. I can stand against...”

He suddenly stopped talking. Sunlight used his magic to shield the mother and her daughter.

“I sense something coming in our direction, something not friendly, he said. You two, stay inside that shield...”

Sunlight looked around him to see where the presence he felt was coming from. Guided by his instincts, he avoided a flurry of projectile thrown in his direction. He looked behind him and saw that the blades were red, like blood. He then avoided another wave of blood projectiles. Knowing a lot about magic, Sunlight found out that he was facing someone practicing Blood magic. He avoided being stabbed by behind and counter attacked by throwing the thing attacking him against a wall. Sunlight saw that the being that attacked him was a woman, dressed in red.

“Oh, look what we have here, said the mysterious woman. I haven’t seen someone playing the heroes in a while...”

“Who are you?” he asked to her.

“Oh, right, i am so uncivilized, she said. My name is Skarlet, i am the daughter of the great emperor Shao Khan.”

“The magic you use, this is blood magic, right?” asked Sunlight.

“Indeed, answered Skarlet. These two humans are for me, If you don't want to die, out of my way”

“You wish, bitch, said Sunlight. I will not let you hurt them.”

“Me, a bitch?! Grr, how dare you!! you will die for that!!” she yelled, attacking him.

Sunlight threw a blast of fire at the woman, who avoided it.

“I see, you want to solve that hand to hand, uh?” said Sunlight.

He created with his Light magic two blades. He used them to block Skarlet’s magic blood blades. After a few minutes, Sunlight took the advantage and sent her flying agaisnt a wall with a powerful magic blast of flames. Sunlight then came back at the family.

“Did i dreamed? Asked the woman. You really defeated Shao Khan’s daughter?”

“She is unconscious for now, he answered. That will let us the time to get out of here...Do you know a place where you will be safe?”

“No place is safe, answered the mother. But i have family that live in the mountains”

The woman showed her a map of the place. Sunlight read it quickly and told to her and her daughter to grab his arm. He teleported away and arrived in front of a cute house. The mother confirmed that was the good place and thanked Sunlight.

“Told to everyone in this realm they have now a hero who will defend them!!” he said, before disappearing magically.

Sunlight reappeared at the bottom of the mountain, checking the map of Earthrealm. He found a city not far away from him and immediately started walking in it’s direction. Meanwhile, Skarlet woked up.

“Grrr, he will pay for what he did, she said. I have to prevent Father about that...”

[A few hours later]

Sunlight was finally arrived in town for 1 hour now. He had find a place to sleep for the night and was eating in a restaurant a big bowl of spicy noodles and a bowl of spicy Curry. After he finished, he paid with gold coins and left to the room he rented for the night.

“That was the best noodles and curry i ate in my life, he said. Sunset told me about how good oriental food was, but i didn’t expect it to be so good!!”

During that time, Skarlet arrived in the castle of Shao Khan and was waiting for his permission to see him.

“Already back? Asked Shao Khan. Why do you want to see me, Skarlet?”

“I came back from the village we attacked today” she said.

“Oh, i hope you didn’t left any survivors, he said. This is your mission to «clean up» after me and my armies pass a village.”

“About that, said Skarlet. Two have survived to your attack, i was about to achieve them, but then...”

“Then what? Said Shao Khan. Speak!!”

“Someone arrived to stop me, she said. A young man wearing a ridiculous costume. We fought and he beat me, and left with a woman and a little girl.”

“This is impossible!! Said Shao Khan. I thought Kronika made sure that no hero would get in our way!!”

“This is what i thought too, she said. I was sure he was just a foolish human wanting to play heroes. But he completely overwhelmed my magic. His fire magic surpassed my blood magic. I am sorry, Master...I swear to hunt him down and bring him back to you”

“That will not be necessary, said the Emperor. I will send Kano and Erron Black with you to find him.”

“I succeeded to hurt him with one of my daggers during our fight, said Skarlet, Before he regenerated his body, i was able to take a few drops of his blood. Once i will be in Earthrealm, i will be able to find his location instantly.”

“Tomorrow, i want you 3 to find him, said Shao Khan. And don’t kill him”

“As you wish, Master, said Skarlet. I presume you want to kill him personally?”

“Leave now, said Shao Khan. This is an order”

Skarlet left the royal room.

“Let me guess, you want me to corrupt him?” asked an old man to Shao Khan.

“No, not now, answered the emperor of Outworld. I want you to follow Skarlet, Erron Black and Kano. I know none of them will succeed. You will be their back up, and make sure they don’t spot you.”

“Discretion is my game, said the old sorcerer. You can count on me, Ô great Shao Khan.”
