"Hanzo?" I look at the thunder god.

"Yes." HE smiles.

It wasn't until I look closely at him, at those eyes, that I realize Jax behind me.

"He's something huh?" He smiles.

"Am I missing something?" I finally ask looking at the both of them.

"For a demon warrior you sure are pretty damn dense." Jax crosses his arms, walking away from us.

"You mean to tell me…."

"You won't find her here."

I look at the man once again, it can't be… That was a mortal wound; she was supposed to die… "Where is she?" I look back to Raiden.

"Hanzo!"

The man stopped what he was doing, and walked over to us, and bowed to the thunder god, it's nice to know my son has respect.

"Scorpion, this is Hanzo, Hanzo…"

He looks at me with those eyes, his mothers' sweet and innocent eyes. I cannot believe that he is my son…

"Father…" He bows to me. "Finally I get to meet the man my mother never stops talking about." He smiles. "Though, I think I look a little bit better than you." He chuckles.

"Sorry if I don't speak, I'm just in shock." I finally speak, looking over him.

"Understandable." He smiles… "I take it you would like to see my mother huh?"

"Yes…"

"Sensei Raiden…" He bowed once more.

Before I could look back at Raiden, or anyone for that matter, I felt my body being pulled, and soon, I was back in the pits of the nether realm. I looked around before seeing Saia standing at the lake of fire. Her back is turned towards me. That was until I let out a gasp.

"Yes I'm still alive." She smiled, as she turned to face me. "Sorry I didn't come right back."

I could not contain myself, I ran to her, ripping my face off, and throwing it to the ground. I pressed her lips against mine. Twenty years of the thought she had died… twenty years of emptiness… and only in a few minutes, my heart is full of so much joy.

She pulls away, with a smile on her face. "I see you've missed me." She runs her hands over my skull. "Sorry, but it's really hard to be both a mother and a deity."

"What?"

"I was so close to death, but Raiden took me to the elder gods, and because I gave a certain someone a soul… They granted me immortality, along with Hanzo." She kisses me once more. "You are speaking to the Goddess of the nether realm."

"And you couldn't visit me."

She smiles at me. "Well I would have, but you see, a certain sorcerer is back, along with a black clad ninja… They are competing, so I had to make sure Hanzo was ready to fight, along with you."

I smile. "Well, I'm ready, and from the looks of who trained Hanzo, he's ready as well… what about you?"

"When I have you, I'm strong…"

I feel something escape my eyes… she smiles at me, her thumb wiping it away.

"I guess you do have tears…"

I kiss her once more.

"Is this what you have become?"

We turn our gazes from each other to the all too familiar voice that came from the shadows…
