Chapter 24: A time of peace

Argus appeared infront of the warriors and they all bowed to them "Rise my sons." Taven and Daegon stood up "You two have made me very proud, you have

defeated all forms of corruption in each realm. For your reward, you will now receive full godhood. Argus shot a beam of light into his sons and their bodies were

soon covered by golden armor. "Thank you father" said the brothers.

He noticed Outworld was now being turned back into the beautiful realm that it was before Onaga and Shao Kahn had came into power. However they still needed

an emperor to make sure it doesn't fall into chaos again. "Outworld is in peace, but now will rule?" Ermac stepped forward "We will rule Outworld and restore the

peace in it."

The Elder god sensed that may warrior souls were inside Ermac and saw that they were good warriors. "Very well you shall rule Outworld and the many souls in

your body will be used to restore the soldiers." He shot a beam into Ermac causing the souls that made him up to travel into the deceased bodies of the Shao Kahn's

army and fully revive them. Now the army had belong to Ermac as he was now the new ruler of Outworld.

"Now I will send the rest of you home, and all of you will also be rewarded for your efforts." Argus with the help of his sons returned home except for Rain who had

agreed to rule along side his ally Ermac. Li Mei and the newly purified Ashrah taugh the kids in the villiage martial arts. Bo Rai Cho had agreed to help them train the

kids.

Back in Edenia, Kitana had became queen of Edenia after Jerrod and Sindel decided to step down. Mileena was rewarded by having her horrible tarkatan face

replaced with that of beautiful face. She would now seek her own identity and rule beside Kitana. Tanya and Jade became trusted generals of the Edenian army and

now have enhanced abilities.

Orderrealm and Chaosrealm remained at peace as well. Havik and Hotaru had agreed to leave each others realms alone. Hotaru became ruler of Orderrealm and

made a peace treaty with Darrius and Dariou. Havik had became ruler of Chaosrealm and was known as a hero of that realm.

In Earthrealm Sonya and Jax were rewarded their positions as generals for the special forces as well as gained Kira for a new member. The speical forces agent

Kenshi had regained his eye sight and pefercted his telekenisis. Stryker continued to become a riot cop until he was rewarded a higher position. As for Johnny Cage,

he made a movie based on Taven and Daegon's journies and hired Mokap for the stunts. He became rich off of it and had also married Sonya a short time

afterwards. Kano and Kabal were given a reward as well. Kano's eye was replaced with his normal eye that he had lost, and Kabal face and health was restored to

normal. They also gave up their life of crime and taught street kids martial arts.

Sub-Zero and Smoke continued to reform the Lin Kuei and His brother had used his new clan the brotherhood of shadow as a branch of it. Sareena had vowed to

stay at his side forever. Sektor and his best friend Cyrax had left the Lin Kuei clan and traveled to Japan where the rest of Sektor's clan was. They were also turned

into humans, and given and new name called the Aka Kage or red shadows. Sektor had also taken in a young boy and taught him the ways of the clan. Scorpion's

wife Zenaku and son were fully ressurrected back in japan as well as his clan. All four ninja clans had agreed not to attack each other.

Nightwolf continued to travel around Earthrealm with the companionship of Kai. When they were finished perfecting their shamanic powers, they took refuge in the

Wushi Academy along with Liu Kang and Kung Lao. The two monks were also rewarded godhood and became the new protectors of Earthrealm. Knowing that

Earthrealm will be in good hands under Liu Kang and Kung Lao, Raiden and Fujin became elder gods.

Sometime afterwards, Liu Kang and Kitana had finally gotten married to each other. Kung Lao would also find a wife in the newly changed Mileena. Upon their

marriage, Earthrealm and Edenia had merged together. Ermac had requested to merge with them as well and they had agreed. After the three realms had merged,

the armies of Ermac and Kitana had promoted peace with each other.

"Now that we are at peace, perhaps my brother and I should test your skills in battle" said Taven. Liu Kang and smiled "Yes, let's see how the protectors of Edenia

fair against the protectors of Earthrealm." Taven and Daegon charged against Liu Kang and Kung Lao and fought with them. This battle was not about protecting

the realms or stopping evil but simply a test of skill. Soon a future Mortal Kombat would be for those reasons.
