C6, A Meeting With The Sage.

"Talking." 'Thoughts.'

XX ( The Palace of Judgment, NetherRealm.)

Of all the places in the NetherRealm that were considered special or important to the denizens of this realm or even the gods only the Palace of Judgment was considered holy due to its unique position and responsibilities, the unique God that called this palace home was a Guardian to life and death itself and had gone by many names in many realms.

The unique higher being almost looked demonic in all honesty which was scare to many who had stood before him at the time of their judgment, this particular God or the Shinigami as so many other beings had called him had never felt more tired than at any time in its past due to the many wars that have plagued the realms.

And he had the feeling that it was going to happen again and that EarthRealm would once again be the epicenter of this coming conflict, the feeling was only reinforced as he knew one of his brethren was coming to see him.

Right at this moment a a bolt of lightning had struck the ground revealing the figure a man with what looked like lightning dancing around his body and glowing eyes as well as an unusual hat on his head and his clothing was rather regal looking,

The Shinigami then began to smile as he reached up with its left and and took the dagger that had been sitting between its teeth out and began to speak in a deep melodic voice, "It is rare for you to come to my Palace Raiden."

The god of thunder and lightning and the protector of the Realm of Earth now stood before the all mighty Death God then lightly bowed his head any show of respect he then spoke, "Lord Shinigami I only hope that I am not disturbing you but I had to come as soon as possible as well as to seek not only your guidance but that of the soul you protect."

The Shinigami could only let out a laugh at first but then came to a sudden realization based upon the look of the Thunder God's face, something was terribly wrong and one of the spirits in his charge might actually know what was happening.

"Who are you here to see Raiden?" The Shinigami asked him.

Raiden cleared his throat and then spoke, "The one known as the Sage of The Six Paths."

The Shinigami just knew that this day was coming and then pointed to a portal that appeared and spoke, "This will lead you to him and I hope you find the answers you seek for all of are sake's."

Raiden nodded his head as he then walked into the portal, once he was on the other side he found himself in a lush green field with a large sakura tree in the distance and sitting under it was a rather old man, as a defender of the Realm of Earth walked up to him the old man then spoke, "The perfect blossom is such a rare thing, a person could spend their entire lives looking for one and it would not be a wasted life... do you understand that Thunder God."

"I believe that is a noble pursuit, but I believe you know why I'm here?" the thunder God asked.

"This was a meeting I knew was coming for quite some time, for I am only amazed that it took this long in all honesty." The Sage said.

Raiden could only nod his head at this, "What will happen if the 10 tales is to be restored?"

"Something far worse than Armageddon, the 10 tales rivals even the Elder Gods themselves just as its creator once did I might add." the Sage said now looking the Thunder God right in the eyes.

"What would the One Being have to gain from all of this?" Raiden wondered.

The Sage looked up at him and said, "For one it could begin to consume the realms end all they would need to do is gain access to your Sky Temple and you know why!"

Raiden suddenly understood what was at stake and just how important it was to not only keep the 10 tales contained but also to keep the nine spirits safely hidden away, especially if the Jinsei was the target because then it would move from realm to realm hunting the rest of them as well as the Kamidoge as will.

XX ( Hidden Leaf Village, EarthRealm.)

Frost was currently sitting in the famous Roman stand along with several warriors enjoying their meal when each felt that something was wrong, Frost turned her head and noticed two men in another restaurant with strange black coats with red clouds upon them eating but unfortunately she could sense their deception from her seat.

She went back to eating her food but used her hands to sign to one of her fellow Lin Kuei that something was terribly wrong and to keep their eyes upon these individuals.

At the same time Mileena and Kitana also felt that something was wrong and began to follow it, Mileena just somehow knew that this was directed at her son and she'd make whoever it was pay dearly.

End of C6

I'd like to apologize for this chapter being so short but at the same time so many other stories are needing some major attention and I just published two brand-new ones by at the same time I also want to make sure that I did this chapter to my own satisfaction which wasn't easy and I will probably still be adding things for some time to come.

At the same time I'm also debating whether or not to write a new story inspired by MKX since the game did help me with certain aspects of this story but at the same time I really want to devote all my energy to fuel their stories and to really give the upcoming fights the attention they deserve.

At the same time the hardest part to write this chapter was Raiden's interaction with the Sage of the Six Paths and to show that not every place in the NetherRealm is controlled by Shinnok or Quan Chi, at the same time I might also bring some more characters from MKX into the story in one fashion or another.

Please tell me what you think and read and review.
