In anger and charges in, lands a solid punch across Noob's face and
kicks him into the Soulnado.
Noob Saibot is sucked up into the Soulnado, infecting it with his
wraith-like powers. As he is pulled into the heavens, the Soulnado
turns from glowing green to purple. Quan Chi pulls himself to his
feet, and realising the battle is lost, immediately opens a portal
and escapes. Nightwolf generates a mystical shield to protect himself
as the Soulnado gathers itself into a giant portal and explodes
outward. Nightwolf is thrown from his feet as the shockwave travels
across the cemetary, destroying everything in the immediate radius.
Nightwolf, however, is unharmed and sits up.
NIGHTWOLF: Pilamaya. ("Thank you" in Lakotan.)
Back at the temple, the Forces of Light are in the midst of a
discussion.
SONYA: But how do we know? Raiden could be having visions of
possible futures, not the future.
JAX: Sonya's right. Was I supposed to have my arms replaced with
these? Or was it caused by interfering with the timeline?
JOHNNY CAGE: My head hurts just thinking about it.
KITANA: This isn't helpful. We cannot second guess our decisions.
Raiden, what are your thoughts?
Raiden is unresponsive.
KITANA: Raiden?
He suddenly reacts.
RAIDEN: Yes, that is best.
CYBER SUB-ZERO: What is our next objective?
LIU KANG: Nightwolf!
The Forces of Light turn to see Nightwolf approach them.
NIGHTWOLF: It is done. Earthrealm's souls are safe.
Raiden looks at his amulet. More cracks appear on it.
RAIDEN: No! How is it not enough?!
He slams a palm down on the slab in front of him.
RAIDEN: I must speak with the Elder Gods. Shao Kahn's violation must
be punished.
LIU KANG: But the battle is joined here, in Earthrealm!
RAIDEN: We cannot win without the Elder Gods.
LIU KANG: But Master--
JOHNNY CAGE: Liu Kang, close as a shadow...
RAIDEN: Nightwolf, you will lead until we return.
NIGHTWOLF: As you wish, Haokah.
Raiden takes a hold of Liu Kang and they disappear in a flash of
lightning.
STRYKER: Well, now what? Standing around here won't do us any good.
CYBER SUB-ZERO: Wait!
He looks around.
CYBER SUB-ZERO: The Lin Kuei! They surround us!
Multiple Lin Kuei cyborgs reveal themselves around the temple.
STRYKER: So much for standing around.
NIGHTWOLF: Attack!
The Forces of Light immediately charge the cyborgs. Nightwolf goes
for Cyrax, but his attack is blocked and Cyrax punches him in the
stomach, and then across the face. As Cyrax moves in, Nightwolf
recovers and kicks him back. They circle one another.
CYRAX: My speed and skill are beyond you.
They fight. Despite Cyrax's cybernetic enhancements, Nightwolf's
spirit powers keep him both in the fight and able to take it to the
cyborg. Eventually Nightwolf leaves Cyrax disabled on the ground.
NIGHTWOLF: Mere speed and skill will not win this war, Cyrax.
With Cyrax down, Nightwolf looks around the temple and sees Smoke
battling Sektor on the stairwell. Smoke is unable to even land a hit
against the cybernetic assassin. Sektor grabs his hand as Smoke
throws an ineffectual strike.
SEKTOR: You are weak, Smoke.
Sektor blasts him in the chest with his afterburn strike, sending
Smoke careening down the stairs.
SEKTOR: Now do you understand? The power of the Grand Master's
