That person is Liu Kang, but he has drastically changed in appearance. He appears fully human, but his hair is now grey, his eyes glowing electric blue, his tattoos generating electricity and his body generating flames. Raiden's hat is on his back, and his trousers now have a blue shade on them as opposed to red. His bandanna is now metallic and he wears a necklace of beads.
Liu Kang stands to his feet, looking at his outstretched hands, in awe at his new powers. He closes them into fists and puts them
back down at his side.
Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Jax all begin to walk forward. Kung Lao teleports onto the deck from his ship and Kitana jumps over from
hers, landing next to Kharon. All of them take in the sight of the radically changed Liu Kang.
SUB-ZERO: Liu Kang?
LIU KANG: I am...
He stops pulsating with electricity and fire, but his eyes are now bright blue, as are his tattoos.
LIU KANG: ...and I am not.
JAX: What happened to Raiden?
LIU KANG: He is part of me. Bound to my soul. He... made me a god. For now, at least.
KITANA: A god? Incredible.
KUNG LAO: (To himself) Now he's out of her league.
LIU KANG: My revenant counterpart. I have absorbed his knowledge of the Keep, of Kronika and Lily Tsung's plan. I know where to find the hourglass. We can beat Kronika along with Lily Tsung, the Titan of Witchcraft.
Back in Kronika's Keep, she, Lily Tsung and Cetrion look upon the chair that once bound Liu Kang. Kronika is wide eyed and more perplexed than we have ever seen her before.
KRONIKA: Out of desperation comes invention. I had not thought it possible for Raiden to surprise me.
She addresses Cetrion without even looking at her.
LILY TSUNG: I will kill him myself.
KRONIKA: You must be patient daughter, if anything happens to me, you will create the New Era because you are powerful enough to control the hourglass yourself, Our success is no longer certain. We must make haste.
LILY TSUNG: Of course mother.
They walk back to the hourglass and begin manipulating the sands once again.
Back on the shoreline, Kharon's flagships have almost reached land. Waiting for them is the Netherrealm army, and the oni demons roar in anticipation and charge the shoreline. The ships continue forward, not decelerating in the slightest.
KHARON: BRACE FOR IMPACT!
The flagship touches down on the shore without issue. A boarding plank is lowered as the Netherrealm army reach the ships. Before
the demons can climb up it, Sub-Zero slides down, using his ice powers to freeze the ground beneath him and the demons below him. He lands on the shoreline and uses an ice axe to chop a frozen demon into shattered remains, then immediately decapitates another one.
Scorpion teleports from the ship deck in a burst of flame, coming out in the midst of the army, sending several oni into the air in
flames. He punches down one oni, then rips the heart out of another.
The ship contaning the Special Forces crashes into a dock, smashing it into a splintered ruin. With a loud cheer the vanguard run down the boarding plank. Three soldiers on deck chuck grenades at the army, which blow up and kill several demons in one go. More demons charge as Cassie, Jacqui and the younger Jax zipline down to the shore. The oni charging them are cut into bloodied strips by the firepower of Jax's assault rifle, Jacqui's wrist cannons and Cassie's pistols.
