"So, you lost once. You know better now. Plus...we got mind readers. I would think even if he resisted, it would set off red flags. I mean the guy is magical, kinda hard to fake being a mutant. I am told it is kind of a thing we can feel in others." Johnny said,r ecalling his limited telepathy lessons. "And I can spot a fellow shifter a mile away, and beside...if he swapped out for me he couldn't pull it off. Only I can make Logan laugh...and he couldn't be half as annoying." Changeling snickered. "Plus...guy seems like kind of a dillhole. Kinda has it coming. All we need to do is line him up..." Bling! pointed her hand and fired diamond shards into the side of a ruined car. "and Nuff flipping Said." "X-Men don't kill though." Massive told her. "Soften them up. Leave that part to us." Sub-Zero said to him. "Princess, you got an edge now. They got extra help, but so do you." Johnny told her. "I'm in, I can't back down now. I wasn't raised to sit idle. Doing it with or without you. The question is...can't you do better than Shao Kahn and....can you be ok with sitting it out?" "I can ask the Shaolin to help." Kung Lao spoke up. "Kitana...they are right. This isn't about old scores. New world, new hope." Kung Lao looked at her. "Me coming back was deemed impossible, and yet here I am. Alive and me again. The impossible is possible now. We just have to try." He paused. "If Liu Kang was himself...he would agree." "That he would." Sub-Zero said. Kitana looked at Kung Lao and Johnny. "You... you're both right... I can't stand back... even if I was the one who failed in the last coup." said Kitana. "We don't blame you for that, Kitana." said Johnny. "Yeah... I just... opened my mouth without thinking again." said Sonya. Kitana nodded at Sonya, understanding what she meant. She then turned to Kung Lao. "Kung Lao... is there any hope that we can bring Liu back to normal?" asked Kitana.

"There is. Though the problem is Quan Chi. He is bolstering his favorite. It is what weakened his hold on me so Aegeus could free me. If we can weaken Liu's will, he will lose power. Do so enough...and he will be cured. But the trick is doing so in a way that won't bring back a broken man. So no dumping him for me, as an example." Kung Lao said, jokingly.
"Don't worry cousin, she has standards." Kung Jin added.
"The Centaurians have been rising in the ranks again. Ever since the Coup, they have been winning more and more. Having Chamelon backing Motaro has done wonders for them. So much so that Goro is looking bad. It does not help that Sheeva gets more favor, a fact that is rumored to be due to being your sister's plaything." Baraka stated to Kitana.
"Dude...TMI." Kung Jin said to him.
"The point is...if we can turn Goro to our side as well, we can have him defeat Duroc. It would make Liu Kang restless as the fallen prince is his conscience from what I have seen. Also, if the hold on the other revenants is not so strong...say for perhaps Noob Saibot, then revive the one called Smoke. Take his help, make him alone. Have the only thing he can turn to be his slaver, and thus give him despair he can recover from." Baraka explained.
"Wow...quite the plan." Cassie said to him.
"Sometimes it is about who to target Cassandra Cage." Baraka said to her.
"We can get Tomas back?" Hydro asked.
"But likely not Bi Han." Sub-Zero nodded. "That could do it."

"I was just making sure that there was hope for that. I would hate to live the rest of my life alone." "I dunno if it'll be that easy, especially if Goro sees Johnny here." said Sonya. "Why is that?" asked Francis. "Well... I kinda... punched his balls and humilliated him in the Mortal Kombat tournament." uttered Johnny. "He asked for it, though... he broke my favorite sunglasses."

Kung Lao shook his head. "You forget my grudge is larger. My namesake, he killed him, yet i would be willing to put that to bed as well for the greater good. If he can see that...see that I can bench my ego..."
"That miracles can come true humble one?" Sub-Zero teased.
"Exactly." He pointed.
"His pride would be affected, that is for sure." Baraka nodded.

"Well, at least that's a bit more comforting." uttered Jean. "I think the decision is made, then... we'll help Baraka." said Raiden.

"No, we help all of Outworld." Kung Lao said. "If the Shokan are also being oppressed...then the problem is bigger than that." He spoke up.
"I like the sound of that action. Let's free another dimension from tyranny. May we do better than with the Mojoverse." Johnny said.
"Self wonders why we even tried. They are addicted to TV. They choose Mojo." Warlock said as he removed himself from Cypher, meawhile Rahne reformed.
"We could nae ignore them Doug." Wolfbane said as she turned human. "Tis nae what we do."
"Self understands, and yet...the rebellion there is more part of the show as well, so to speak." Warlock shrugged.

"Well, I guess it's time to get back into action... at least with this I don't have to worry about retirement from acting." said Johnny Cage.

"All things come with their price, ours is more Ninja Mime sequels." Sub-Zero sighed. "Beware X-Men, he will try to ask you to co star."
Changeling smiled.
"Sydney...remember, you got banned from a certain studio when you and Beast visited Wonder Man that time." Cypher brought up.
"SO I DECKED BRETT RATTNER, THIS IS WHEN WE FOUND OUT HE WAS SLEAZE!!!" Changeling yelled. "I...can't help that he sued."

Changeling yelled. "I...can't help that he sued." "Been trying to revitalize the franchise, Frosty... but they won't let me... they say I'm too old. So I don't think any Ninja Mime sequels will be out any time soon." said Johnny. "In fact, being part of the Earthrealm Defenders gives me a much needed job if I retired. Though I'm thinking about becoming either a director or a scriptwriter, 'cause in acting I'm relegated to playing the bad guy nowadays. It can be fun, but lately, the scripts I've been given are too boring. Not too much sense of humor and too grim for my taste." Sonya looked at Changeling. "Whoa... you were... banned?" uttered Sonya.

"Dude was a creep to young girls. Outed Ellen Page on set of that crappy Doom Patrol 3 movie as being gay in a humiliating way." Changeling told her.
"Odd...that was X-Men 3 in our world. Makes sense...and Dad...I am kinda shocked you ain't trying to find a loophole. Way things are around here, maybe you could shave off a few years?" Cassie said to him.
"Oh fuck, now the asshole is going to go Ponce De Leon on us." Frost blurted out.
"Hey, that asshole is my Dad." Cassie said.
"Cas...you didn't disprove the asshole part." Kung jin said. "Freudian slip?"
"No...just..spoke before thinking." Cassie elbowed him. "You're the asshole, asshole."
"Good luck with that. Anyone we know who might have that power...might be close to being or is a literal devil." Massive said to him.

"I'll only deage myself if your mother does it, Cassie... and I dunno if she wants to pull off that Ponce de León crap." said Johnny. "I don't think so... I think I like it as I am... and I kinda like your dad the way he is now as well. Plus, you wouldn't be able to stand younger me." said Sonya to Cassie. "Let's just say that I was pretty hyperactive."

"Umm...on a related topic. I kind of did a thing. Turns out Baraka wasn't the only lingerer." Takeda said as he came up, with something wrapped up in his arms.
"Who was here?" Baraka asked.
"Kintaro...and...and I beat him. But...as for how...Lord Raiden, you know that technique Master Shujinko showed us one time?" Takeda asked him. "That one he did to that Tarkatan that snuck onto base that time Master Bo Rai'Cho invited him over for the 4th of July?"
"What technique Takeda? And what do you have?" Kung Lao asked.
"Wait...the one where he..." Cassie blinked as Takeda revealed he was holding...a Baby Kintaro. "Holy shit dude."
"Well congratulations are in order Jacqui Briggs, Major...it's a boy." Sub-Zero said to them.
"What the...you expect us to..." Jacqui looked at Raiden. "Can't you reverse..."
"The only God that could is Kronika...and the less we get involved with her...the better." Sub-Zero told him. "Sorry Takeda, but unless some other force comes into play...your will have to resolve this the old fashioned way. Best inform your father of the new addition."
"I...oh God. What have I done?" Takeda said.
"Why did you even..." Jacqui looked at him.
"His guard was down and I wanted to avoid a fight." Takeda said to her.
"I...let's not pick a fight with him." Massive stared.
"Right...bloody ninja has crazy magic to him." Toad blinked. "Bloody freaking Hell."
"What did we walk in on?" Cypher looked on in confusion.
Kintaro cooed as he reached up to Takeda.
"Kitana...gonna need some...pointers here." Takeda stared at the little one.

"Kitana...gonna need some...pointers here." Takeda stared at the little one. Raiden raised his eyebrow. "Oh, boy... this day is really heading for the toilet." uttered Raiden with frustration. Kitana looked at Kintaro and then back at Takeda. "Try... to play with him." said Kitana. "Maybe give him a toy." said Sonya. "Or do crazy faces." said Johnny. Raiden then grabbed Kintaro and sighed. "My work is never finished." said Raiden. "All you do is sit on your ass while we do the work." said Johnny. "Stop telling me the truth and let me pamper this little Shokan brat." uttered Raiden with his typical snarky tone.

"Hey...be nice." Takeda said. "If we are going to raise him...we should do it right. So he is not an enemy when he grows up."
"Especially if you are to treat with Goro. This could work...this happened due to Shao Kahn choosing him for a task usually given to Reptile or...me. One even I must confess was beneath the warrior I knew Kintaro to be. Yes...if you take responsibility...his champion's future lays int he hand of Earthrealm. Takeda...you did us a service."
"I did what now?" Takeda asked.
"Basically...this Goro guy owes ya one because while this guy was in the wrong place, wrong time...ya didn't kill him. While this is all kinds a messed up...if ya adopt him...he kinda owes ya fer that. Amiright Chompers?" Toad explained.
"Basically Amphibian." Baraka replied.

Goro might be arrogant, but he's also proud. Sparing Kintaro's life will most certainly bring him to our side." said Kitana. "So... he'll have to keep back his urges to get back at me for breaking his family jewels? Sweet." uttered Johnny with his typical sly grin.
