The moon appeared high in the sky. It was full and dimly lit the world. It didn't light it as the sun, but more of as it's own. The moon was full and nice.

Scorpion sat in front of a statue in prayer. Members of his clan surrounded him in prayer. Everyone's eyes were closed and heads bowed. No one dared interrupted this moment.

He began to pray in his mind. His wife and son died a while ago, and it was the worst moment of his life. He remembers it like it was yesterday. The Lin Kuei, had slaughtered them. He hated those bastards. They must pay, he thought. He never understood, why.

He let out small quiet breathes, he tried to forget, but he never could. It was the worst day of his life. He could never forget.

"Sir." Miko said. Miko was one of the ninja under Scorpion's leadership, The Shirai Ryun. Most of everyone in the clan calls him sir, or Hanzo. His name is Hanzo Hasashi. What could this girl want. Didn't she see him meditating.

"This better be good. You're interrupting my prayer." Scorpion said.

"Sorry Sir, but someone is here to see you!" She said. She seemed almost nervous.

"We'll tell them that I will finish my prayer and then and only then will I speak to them!" Scorpion said. He sat in his yellow uniform and his hair hung in a pony tail.

He finished his prayer and walked up to Miko. "Show me the way." He said. He followed her to the front of the temple, where Raiden sat. He was in the company of Sonya and Johnny.

"How may I help you?" Scorpion said.

"Long time no see Hanzo!" Raiden said.

"I have no time for the bull shit, what do you want?" Scorpion said. "In case you couldn't tell, I have manners to attend to."

"Well, we kind of need your help." Raiden said. His voice sounded a little concerned.

"With what?" Scorpion said.

"Hanzo, there has been an attack on earth realm." Johnny said.

"By whom!" Scorpion said.

"Well we don't know." Sonya said. "We think it may be Mileena, but were not a hundred percent sure."

"Ah, I here she's running outworld into the ground." Scorpion said.

"Yeah, she's a terrible leader." Johnny said.

"So what do you want from me?" Scorpion asked.

"We need you to stop her." Sonya said. "Well and she has the lunar amulet."

"No!" Scorpion said.

"Yes!" Sonya said. The lunar amulet was one of the most powerful thing in the universe. It allows transportation to any realm and it can erase and create things according to the willer desire. Scorpion had been looking for it forever. He could bring his child and wife back.

"I will do it!" Scorpion said.

"Well you would have to work with us." Sonya said.

"I don't like that idea!" Scorpion said.

"Well, it's more complicated than you think." Raiden said.

"What?"

"Mileena was over thrown in out world and is currently ruling Kylor." Raiden said. "I suspect she's plotting to take control of all the realms with the amulet. Also, Kotal Kahn had suspected this and is after her. He must never touch the amulet. There is also others!"

"Complicated." Scorpion said. "Well, it kind of sounds simple."

"We also require you work with the Lin Kuei." Sonya said.

"I will never work with that stupid bastard." Scorpion said. "He slated my clan, wife and child."

"And were sorry!" Johnny said. "That was years ago."

"I will never let it go." Scorpion said. "Why don't you lose your wife and child. You can't atone for others sins."

"We aren't trying to atone for anyone's sins." Sonya said. She played with her belt.

"Hanzo, don't you think it's time to let go." Raiden said. "Let's not forget you killed his brother."

"Oh, well he killed two members of my family so were no where near even." Scorpion said.

"There is no need to be so angry." Raiden said. "He was willing to put it all aside to work with you."

"So you've spoken with him?" Scorpion said.

"No!" Raiden said. "Not yet."

"We'll speak to him and tell me what he says." Scorpion said. "I will then think about assisting you."

"That is so crazy." Johnny said. "God someone's on his period."

With that Scorpion went back into the temple.

"So were just gonna do what he says?" Johnny said.

"We have too" Raiden said. "He knows we need corporation to get this done."

"Huh, what a day." Sonya said. "Now c'mon, we must go talk to Sub-Zero."

Sub-Zero and Frost were training hard. She was Sub-Zero's apprentice and she was professing rapidly. She only needed to understand peace. She was one to kill instead of talk.

"I'm gonna speed it up." Sub-Zero said. He began to move rapidly with his arms and legs. Frost attempted a low kick, and He jumped. She almost got him. She tried to use her fist, he caught it and flipped her. She did a front flip and landed on her fit. She kicked Sub-Zero in the side.

He released her and and gave her a swift punch. Her face caught it. She then tried to throw one back and he caught it. He flipped and her and she hit the ground.

"Pretty nice, but you need more work." Scorpion said.

"Yes, sir." She said with a bow. Sub-Zero smiled she was coming along well. He and her walked back to the temple.

"I wanna get stronger, I'm tired of being weak." Frost said.

"And you will, in time!" Sub-Zero said. "Strength doesn't come to those who rushed through the process. I takes time and you will be strong. Maybe even stronger than me."

"Maybe." Frost said. She was unsure of herself, and Sub-Zero could tell. He knew she had issues, he hoped they could work through them.

"Master!" A man said running up to them.

"Yes!" Sub-Zero said.

"Lord Raiden's here." He said.

"Alright." Sub-Zero went to the front of the temple to meet Raiden and the others.

"Hello!" Raiden said.

"How may I help you?" Sub-Zero said.

"Well my friend, we come to ask you to help us protect earth realm" Raiden said. Sonya and Johnny began to tell him about the lunar amulet.

"Well, we must protect Earth realm, so I will join." Sub-Zero said.

"Seven if Scorpion dose." Sonya said.

"I may have a score to settle with him, but I must look at the true objective, protect Earth realm." Sub-Zero said.

"Alright!" Johnny said.

"What did he say?"

"He said he wanted to know what you will say!" Raiden said.

"We'll tell him, I will put aside our history for this." Sub-Zero said.

"Alright." Sonya said. She was happy, at least someone was being reasonable.

"Thank you Sub-Zero." Raiden said.

"Your welcome." Sub-Zero said.

"He's said he would put your history aside." Raiden said. He was back a day later with Scorpion

"Well, I guess I have no choice. I will for this and only this! After this Sub-Zero's head will be mine." Scorpion said.
