Hello and welcome back to Mortal Kombat Konquest!

When we last left our hero, he spent some time training with the Kung cousins at the rebuilt Wu Shi Academy before getting a surprise introduction to the reborn Shirai Ryu clan, led by Hanzo Hasashi. After getting to know Takeda, the son of his childhood friend Kenshi, Kaito departed for Edenia, where he was given a hero's welcome after twenty years of absence. With his boat returned to him, the Netherrship known as Dragon Wing, he sets his sights on the realms with an eye towards adventure.

The very next day after his arrival, Kaito is summoned to the throne room. Queen Sindel and King Jerrod sit upon their thrones while Princess Kitana, Liu Kang and Jade stand off to one side. Smoke stands next to Jade, though their daughter appears either absent or invisible. Asgaarth, once more the personal advisor to the king, stands directly behind and to the right of his throne. There are others here as well; edenian nobles that Kaito has only recently become acquainted with. A small group of elite Edenian Knights led by Captain Shendu are here as well.

Kaito feels a bit sleepy. The feast last night held in his honor was almost too much for him to handle. Thankfully, after twenty years of not eating food, his body appears to be digesting it all rather quickly. He stands at attention in the heart of the throne room floor. King Jerrod is the first to speak.

"Kaito, we have summoned you here to discuss an issue of great importance to us in relation to your ship."

"What about my boat, your majesty?"

"We are happy to return it to you; we have other means of making diplomatic journeys to other realms. However, we feel it very important that you understand the situation in other realms. Things have changed in the twenty years you have been away."

He nods. "Please do. I was hoping to visit Outworld next."

Sindel speaks. "Yes... We know not what you have been told about Outworld, but we have growing concerns about the reign of Kotal Kahn."

"Do you think he will set his sights on invasion?"

"Truthfully, no," she replies. "Kotal does not seem interested in conquest. However, his rule is ironclad and unwavering. Those within his lands must obey all laws or be strictly punished."

"Is he unfair?"

"It is not that he is cruel or without mercy," Jerrod says, "and he is very wise in the ways of diplomacy, but there are those who wish to break free from his rule and he will not allow them to do so."

Sindel nods to Kitana. "Edenia has set an example for many people in Outworld. Many realms that Shao Kahn once conquered through Mortal Kombat now desire to be set free and returned to their own place of existence in the cosmos."

"That doesn't sound so bad," Kaito admits. "Why would he refuse them?"

Jerrod answers. "Because Outworld is the power that it is because of Shao Kahn, and before him, Onaga. With each realm that would part from Outworld, it would weaken. To kingdoms who care only for their own, such as the shokan and the tarkatans, this is not a very concerning issue. But Kotal Kahn controls a much larger kingdom than they, with a much more diverse population. Outworlders, centaurs, amazons, saurians and Kotal's own people, the osh-tekk, and those are merely the most notable. There are many others who are only now returning to the forefront of Outworld's politics now that Shao Kahn is no more."

"So, what does this all have to do with me?" Kaito asks.

Sindel says, "We wanted to ensure that you knew what Outworld's current situation was before sending you off. Furthermore, as one who helped destroy Shao Kahn and liberate Edenia, we have little doubt that you may be approached by others who would seek your aid in doing the same for their realm."

Kitana continues, "But under Kotal's laws, this act would be treasonous. Doing so would bring you into conflict with Kotal, who has control over the means to free the various realms under his rule, inherited by Shao Kahn's treasure rooms."

Kaito folds his arms and thinks for a moment. "Are you worried that I will try to free more realms?"

"You are very noble, Kaito," Sindel says, "but doing so may bring more consequences than not. Outworld and Edenia are currently at peace, as are Edenia and Earthrealm. Orderrealm and Chaosrealm remain neutral and interested only in their own struggle, which occasionally spills out into other realms, and the Netherrealm remains leaderless for now, and thus concerned only with its own inner conflict. If other realms are returned, there is little way to predict what role they will play."

"I think I see what you're saying, your highness," Kaito replies. "It may not be better to have too many pieces on the chess board, as it were. But is it worth it leaving those realms subjugated under Kotal Kahn's rule rather than allow them to be free?"

Liu Kang steps forward and speaks now. "Perhaps so, Kaito, but involving yourself in the power struggle of Outworld may be wrong. I have always fought for the defense of Earthrealm, and now that Shao Kahn and Shinnok are gone, peace reigns. So long as Outworld's rule brings no danger to Earthrealm, I believe it is for them to decide how to rule themselves. No one from Outworld is attempting to change the leadership of Earthrealm."

"True..." Kaito says to the Shaolin monk. "Alright, you have my word that I won't try to mess around with Outworld politics if I can help it."

"That is all we ask," Jerrod says. "Very well, Kaito. We fully return to you the Dragon Wing. In addition to the gifts from the edenian people, we have stocked it with supplies; food and drink. You are welcome here at the palace and are free to come and go as you please."

With a clap of his hands, the meeting is adjourned and everyone begins to either leave the room or talk amongst themselves, leaving Kaito free to choose what to do next.

>>44774610
Korbin doesn't know us personally in this timeline. I think we should avoid obliviously pointing out details from our life as Otiak.
>>
>>44774797
Why? If all the time holes are fixed there's no harm. Also the elder gods favored us in reordering the time line.
If armored jackass has a problem with it fuck him.
Besides if we were going off that logic we should have avoided Cassie.

What have we been wearing lately? We went shopping with Johnny, and Kaito's old gi was kinda, eh.
>>
>>44774881
But we can't just go "SO HOW WAS THAT ADVENTURE YOU WENT ON WITH THAT SAURIAN" and Korbin will look at us like we're retarded.
>>
>>44774904
Doesn't mean we have to avoid them or can't talk to them. We should get to know him here and let him know if he needs something to call us.
Also to be fair, Kaito gets that look a lot anyways.
>>
>>44774610

As the throne room picks back up with chatter, Kaito approached Asgaarth, the second ally he made in the fight to free Edenia, though he did not know it at the time. As he nears, the tall eagleman bows to him, and Kaito does the same.

"Well met," Asgaarth greets him. "Did you sleep well?"

"I did," Kaito replies with a smile. "Edenian sheets are wonderful. What do you stuff those pillows with?"

"Feathers, of course," Asgaarth replies, holding up a feathered arm.

Kaito is still for a moment, but when Asgaarth lets out an uproarious laugh, he joins him.

"What can I do for you?" he asks the human.

"I am told you have a scout. Korbin by name, if I am correct."

"Yes, I do. He is my chief scout and spy. How do you know him?"

"Just picked up his name from conversation," Kaito is quick to lie. "I'm interested in meeting him. Is he around?"

"Yes, he is. I can send for him, if you like. Have you need of a scout?"

"I'm just interested in meeting him, is all," Kaito says. "He sounds interesting."

Asgaarth nods. A few minutes later, Korbin walks into the throne room, beckoned by Asgaarth through the use of a throne page. Kaito looks at the raven man as he enters. He looks healthier than when he knew him as Otiak, and no longer bears an eyepatch. He is dressed more casually, befitting a royal spy.

Asgaarth introduces him to Kaito, and they shake hands. "I've heard much about you," Korbin says. "I am glad to finally meet you."

"The same," Kaito says. It's strange; in the back of his mind, he almost regrets that Korbin doesn't remember any of the adventures they had together. But given that he seems much healthier and not as disconnected as when he first met him, perhaps it's all for the best.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Kaito parts with them both and they speak to each other as the human heads towards the king and queen.

King Jerrod, a strong and tall man, turns towards Kaito as he approaches. Sindel does the same.

"I wanted to personally thank you for the feast and the overwhelming reception," Kaito says to them.

"It's the least we could do," Sindel is quick to reply.

"Honestly, the only thing that could top it would be a parade," Kaito jokes.

Jerrod looks at his bride. "We could have a parade. When was the last time we had one?"

Before she can reply, Kaito holds up a hand. "No! I mean, that's perfectly alright, your majesty. I'm not really a parade kind of man."

Jerrod chuckles as Sindel places a hand on Kaito's shoulder. "Well, should you ever change your mind, the edenian people would be more than happy to oblige, I'm certain."

Kaito returns her smile but then changes the subject. "I was hoping you could offer me some more insight into the current situation in Kotal's court."

"What would you like to know?" Jerrod asks.

"Who is your primary ambassador to them?"

Sindel speaks. "With the traitorous Tanya and her family locked away, we were initially without a proper ambassador to other realms. However, in this regard, Kitana has stepped up to be the face of Edenia. With her good relations to various figures in both Earthrealm and Outworld, this has been a strategic position for the royal family in inter-realm politics."

"I'm curious--what realms are trying to break away from Kotal's rule?"

Now, Jerrod speaks. "Shao Kahn conquered many realms, some of which are lost to recorded history, but not to their former peoples. Much like how the birdfolk and catfolk are returning to Edenia after millenia of hiding, so too are many other races and cultures from many lost realms that are only now beginning to reveal themselves now that the tyranny of the former Emperor is no more."

Sindel once more continues, "The human-like Outworlders are often descendents of realms that have mingled and interbred; many of their original realms are now lost, even amongst themselves. Others, however, have managed to stay more isolated or pure of bloodline, such as the centaurians or the shokan. While these races are traditionally associated with Outworld due to being apart of it for so long, they are not originally from it."

"And some species, such as the tarkatans, are immigrants," Jerrod adds. "They too now call Outworld thier home and know no other realm."

"Who would you say are the most vocal in their attempts to split from Outworld?"

Sindel looks over at Kitana. "Our daughter has reported that the Amazons of the south are threatening to make war with Kotal to try to win the liberation of their former realm, Ilkan. We have no diplomatic connections to them and do not support them in any way, mostly due to past grievances with Kitana and Jade against their leader, Zara."

Kaito remembers that Jade was once brainwashed into fighting alongside the Amazons as the green-clad warrior woman known as Mantis. He can understand why there would be a bit of hostility there.

"Speaking of Kitana," Kaito says, "have she and Liu Kang announced anything official yet?"

Sindel and Jerrod share a look. "Edenian courtship can last a very long time," Sindel says to him. "We do not pressure them and I trust in my daughter's judgment."

"Can you tell me some more about the other sovereign kingdoms that have appeared in Outworld since Shao Kahn's defeat?"

"The shokan maintain independence north of Kotal Kahn's lands; the lands of the Kuatan Jungle and all north of it belong to them. This is the domain of King Duroc. The tigrar and those loyal to the former king, Gorbak, attempted a rebellion but their forces were defeated by a combined army of Kotal Kahn, the shokan and the tarkatans. However, this is the last time the three of them cooperated; the centaurs eventually swore fealty to Kotal Kahn. Due to old hatreds among their people, the shokan have not diplomatically associated with Kotal Kahn outside of respecting his territories."

"What about the tarkatans? I heard they were getting along with King Duroc's people."

"This is true, but the tarkatans are inherently a wild people. Peace does not suit them. In order to keep the nomadic nature of his people in tact, Tortek led them south, into the vast wastelands south of Kotal's kingdom, where they skirmish over territory with the amazons and other races of the south."

Kaito folds his arms. "Well, at least he's still in charge of his people. I need to catch up with him at some point."

"Kotal Kahn's influence also does not extend across the seas. Yanake and her people have formed a kingdom of their own, from the capital city of Xun-Koto."

Kaito smiles to himself; he remembers helping Yanake liberate the siege from the city of Xun-Koto with the help of Rokuro, Sareena, Tortek and---

Kaito pauses. "Say... I was told that Turana left for Outworld. Would you happen to know anything about this?"

Sindel and Jerrod exchange a worrisome look. "We know only the whispers we have heard from Earthrealm, Kaito. We know not where she is or why she did what she did."

Kaito nods. "Alright, thank you."

"Do you plan to leave for Outworld immediately?" Jerrod asks.

"I'm not sure yet. I might just see where the wind takes me," Kaito replies.

"We will assist you in any way you need," Sindel reminds him.

From #30:

>The night of his first night, Kaito is invited to stay in the lavish guest quarters of the palace. He thanks the royal family and then changes the topic to Mileena, who is the only one who is absent.

>Kitana knows not where her sister is, but not long ago, a trader from down south came to the palace to offer the royal family a fine fur rug, and when he did so, he mistook Kitana for Mileena, for he had met her. Apparently she had booked transport on a merchant ship sailing between the islands of Edenia's southern oceans. The news came only a year ago; if Kaito desires to find her, that would be a good place to start looking.

Kaito excuses himself from the king and queen and approaches Liu Kang and Kitana. As edenians live amazingly long lives spanning millenia, it is no wonder that Kitana looks just as stunning as she once did, as do all of the other edenian women he knew. Liu Kang, however, as a fellow human, is in a similar boat as Kaito; due to his status as Mortal Kombat Champion, he has remained ageless, much like Kaito himself due to the Jinsei Chamber.

"Kaito," Kitana says as he approaches, "Liu and I were just speaking of something that may interest you."

"What is it?" Kaito asks.

"I was considering making a trip to Outworld to visit Master Bo' Rai Cho at his new school. It has been some time since I have seen him. Would you be interested?"

"I might be," Kaito replies. "Speaking of which, Kung Lao says he'd like you to visit more."

Liu gives a small smile. "Yes, this is true. I find myself distracted by the beauty of edenia and the peace it brings to my soul far too often."

'Or distracted by a certain beauty of edenia,' Kaito thinks to himself as he sees the two of them share a look.

Kaito says to Kitana, "So, I'm told you're the new ambassador. How's that job working out for you?"

"It suits me," Kitana says. "I have always sought paths around violent conflict. Even during my time in Outworld, I often helped settle disputes between the shokan and centaurian peoples."

"That's defnitely some job experience, what with how much those two hate each other," Kaito says. "Been to Orderrealm or Chaosrealm lately?"

"No," she says. "Diplomatic visits to Seido require much paperwork, sometimes years of it. Edenia would rather allow them to simply exist in peace. And Chaosrealm... Well, one does not make diplomatic journeys to Chaosrealm."

Kaito nods at her before turning back to Liu. "So, what's this about Bo' Rai Cho's new school? Why'd he open it?"

"He previously trained students privately, or occasionally in Earthrealm, but I believe the invasion inspired him to train other Outworlders to fight for good. He build his new monastary atop a mountain not far from Yanake's people."

"What does he look for in a student?"

"He is not as strict as the Shaolin temples," Liu explains. "But from what I understand, his school has a rather high washout rate. His training is very rigorous."

"I might be interested in that," Kaito says, thinking about receiving such training and what it could do for him. "What about the two of you? How's life treating you?"

"Very well," Kitana answers.

"No, no, I mean, how are YOU two doing?" Kaito asks with extra emphasis.

Liu lets out a small cough. "Very WELL," he says with similar emphasis.

"Alright, alright," Kaito says. "I just think you two go nicely together, is all. Got a kid on the way?"
>>
>>44777303

"Kaito!" Liu says, but Kitana touches her love's arm.

"It's alright. No, not yet. But perhaps one day."

Kaito folds his arms. "Well, since we're on the subject of a 'next generation' as it were, I wanted to run something by you guys. Johnny Cage is thinking of putting a team together, a 'New Defenders' kind of deal. A safeguard in place of danger. Johnny's thinking of recruiting from all sorts of sources; his daughter, Sub-Zero's son, Special Forces, Shirai Ryu, you know, the new kids on the block. What do you think?"

Liu and Kitana look at each other. "I think such a thing is unnecessary," Liu replies, an answer which surprises him.

"Why?"

Liu nods at Kitana. "Well, merely having a new team may invite trouble by itself. The realms are at peace for now, and should something arise we have little doubt that we or others will rise to stand against it."

Liu adds on, "And forging a new weapon just for the sake of having it can often provoke one to wield it recklessly. I fear that such a team could be exploited."

"But we were on a team back in the invasion," Kaito says.

"Out of necessity," Liu points out. "That was a time of war. This is a time of peace. And this new generation you speak of was not around for it; they have little to no experience in the ways of Mortal Kombat and the realms."

"They could learn," Kaito points out.

"Perhaps. But perhaps not."

"You have some good points, but I think we should give it a shot. I mean, sooner or later, trouble will always arise, with or without a response team. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Plus, don't you trust Johnny?"

"I have no problem with Johnny, but he is... often short-sighted," Liu admits. "I know he means well but sometimes I wonder if he can see beyond the reflection of his eyes in his shades."

"That's a bit harsh, but I understand where you're coming from," Kaito says. "I dont think it's gonna matter to some of the new kids, though; most are head strong and want to prove themselves to their parents."

"Perhaps so," Liu says. He looks across the room and sees Smoke beckoning him over. "Pardon me," he says.

As he leaves Kitana's side, Kaito turns to the princess. "Say, Kitana, there's something I've been wanting to ask you."

"Of course."

"It's about that day, twenty years ago, when I convinced you to not kill Mileena. And when she turned against Shao Kahn and joined your family later on."

She shifts onto one leg and crosses her arms. "What of it?"

"Do you think I was right? Do you think Mileena can be your family?"

"I admit that I was... initially very spiteful of her, and her of me. But during our time togethere here in Edenia, we began to build a relationship... Ours is not a normal fable of sisters, but I am happy to say that she is mending her ways. Or so she was when she left the palace of her own free will, even after our mother lifted her sentence of exile upon her."

Kaito smiles. "Ah! You said 'our mother' when speaking about her. You do consider her a sister, don't you?"

"She has my blood," Kitana says offhandedly. "But she also has much to learn. I hope that whatever she is looking for, she finds it. I would not regret the day she comes to reunite with us."

"Well... Maybe I can speed that up. Can you tell me anything more about where she is?"

"The southern seas of Edenia are wild, massive and we lack a fleet to properly protect the many seafaring communities there. Pirates and raiders, sometimes from Outworld, come to Edenia for plunder. The merchant I spoke to told me that Mileena was battling these pirates, fighting to keep the trade routes safe from attack."

"She's fighting pirates? Does she have a ship?"

"I confess that I do not know," Kitana says. "But the merchant that spoke to me of her said that she was travelling to the fishing village of Jewel Cove; apparently, it is a hub of many merchant and trader vessels bringing in exotic goods from all corners of Edenia, a veritable melting pot of many of our realm's cultures and kingdoms."

"Maybe I should give it a look," Kaito says. "Do you think she'll be happy to see me?"

"I cannot predict how she will react," Kitana replies honestly, "but I know that she missed you in the years following the invasion. She sought comfort elsewhere but I don't believe she ever found it."

Kaito nods. "Thank you for telling me."

Yeah, and didn't Liu and Johnny tag-team Shinnok in this timeline?

....Kind of a jerk thing to say, Liu. Johnny's been doing alright.
>>
>>44778319
Correct. Johnny played wingman for Liu Kang and facilitated the hookup with Kitana, while Johnny bagged Sonya for himself. This was all while Kaito was asleep, so we can't actually say we know this ahead of time (at least not without Johnny telling us).

>>44778394

I think we have established that Kaito have seen all the events of side-quests while in the demi-plane. So we can act even on what was just lampshaded in them.

I have some faint recollection that Liu did Shinnok and Red Raiden alone (not at the same time probably)

We do indeed still recall everything that happened in all those sidequests when reality was getting wobbly. Things went slightly differently in this rebuilt "canon" timeline, but the main events are all still the same (Liu Kang/Kitana, Johnny/Sonya, Sub Zero/Sareena, Shinnok's invasion, etc).

Kaito excuses himself from Kitana and wanders over to Liu and Smoke, discovering that Jade has left and all of her dialog was cut for time.

Kidding.

Kaito Kaito excuses himself from Kitana and wanders over to Liu, Smoke and Jade, the former two of whom are engaged in a conversation about the Lin Kuei. Kaito approaches Jade and gets her attention.

"You know, it occurs to me that you and I have never been properly introduced," Kaito says to her. "Last time we met, you were still calling yourself Mantis. And the entire time I thought I was hanging out with you turned out to be a saurian assassin trying to give me the kiss of death."

Jade fixes a bemused look at Kaito. "Yes, so I've heard. I remember my time as Mantis with perfect clarity, in case you were wondering."

"So you remember how I defeated you?"

"You defeated a woman with amnesia, how very commendable and noble," she quips back.

"Hey, that woman had a spear. I defended myself."

She smiles and leans back against a marble pillar. "Well, regardless of which edenian assassin would defeat you in a rematch, it is nice to finally meet you."
>>
>>44778686

He extends his hand to shake hers. "Likewise." He looks around. "Say, when you first found me I saw Vapor with Smoke. Is she around?"

Jade smiles. "She often hides right out in the open. I don't mind it; it's good practice for one who uses stealth. But she can never elude my eyes."

Her emerald eyes dart to the right and Kaito follows them. In the corner of the room he at first spies nothing; but then, almost like a child with her hand caught in the cookie jar, he sees Andela's eyes staring in their direction. She closes them and vanishes from sight.

"She's good," Kaito says. "But why is she so shy?"

"There's no one else like her in the entire realms," Jade says. "Half edenian and half demon..."

Kaito blinks. That's right... Smoke is technically a demon in human form. Making her part human, part edenian, and part demon? Or half edenian-half demon?

She's certainly unique, that's for sure.

"So, what are your current duties with the royal family?"

"As always, I am Princess Kitana's personal bodyguard. I accompany her on all of her diplomatic missions."

"I'm sure she must feel much safer with you guarding her. I remember how dangerous you were as Mantis... How did all of that come to pass, anyway?"

"Shang Tsung robbed me of my memories and planted me among the amazons. I believe he had some larger scheme in the works, as was his way, but thankfully none of it came to pass. After Shao Kahn's defeat in Earthrealm, my and the queen's memories were restored and we rejoined Kitana in her quest to bring about Edenia's restoration."

"Well, I'm really glad that all worked out," Kaito says. "Any advice for dealing with those amazons if I ever run into them?"

"I would advise that you do not; they don't treat with men. Have a woman with you to speak on your behalf. Otherwise, I would expect kombat."

"Duely noted."

"What can you tell me about the other kingdoms of Edenia? I heard that there are monkey people down south? Are they their own kingdom?"

"In so much that the royal family does not control their lands, yes," Jade says. "Their leader is rather... aloof is a good word. Selfish is another. But not foolish enough to attempt to make war with us, and so he remains in his kingdom. Asgaarth and the other avians live here with us, though originally they come from further north. Across the seas to the east reside the catfolk and their kingdoms."

"So, the Monkey King isn't one for diplomacy, is he? What about the others?"

"We have good relations with the catfolk. They are mostly isolationist by nature, but since Edenia's return they have opened up for the possibility of trade and further peaceful cooperation."

"Are there any other animal-like races in Edenia? And by that I mean, you know, like just people but they also happen to look like animals."

"I do not believe so, no. Though from what I understand, more live in Outworld, but they are more beastly in nature. Edenian beastfolk, though I personally loath the term, are more regal, stately, man-like. Native Outworld beastfolk are more feral. Though, each race has its exceptions, of course. The monkeys and apes of the Monkey Kingdom tend to vary wildly, and Edenia has no shortage of the fantastic. It would not surprise me if there were even more than may yet return."

"Well, that's very interesting, thank you," Kaito says as Liu and Smoke finish their conversation. Liu approaches Kaito.

Kaito decides to leave the palace and take a stroll through the countryside. The more he explores, the more he is taken aback by the beauty of Edenia. As much as Kaito loves his home realm of Earth, he has to admit that much of it has gone downhill, but Edenia has none of that. Prestine forests, clean rivers and lakes, green grass and fields of flowers.

Even the buildings are all beautiful, either grand and majestic or simple and functional, but still artistic.

Not to mention that much of the landscape is simply fantastic in nature, with an exotic quality that only imagination once captured. As he walks, using Raiden's staff as a walking stick, he admires the purity of the realm.

It serves as a reminder of the evil that tyrants like Shao Kahn represent; to know that he once set his eyes upon this land, not with admiration, but with desires of conquest and enslavement...

Kaito finds his resolve to oppose such evil strengthened and renewed by this walk. He recalls the Entity, a being so alien to his sensibilities that it would have destroyed Edenia a thousand times over...

And yet, Kaito cannot help but wonder what comes next. What evil remains that will inevitably rear its ugly head? What tyrant will next rise and attempt to take this land from the innocent who have now returned to a life of peace? What bully would---

Suddenly Kaito comes upon a small group of children; four of them appear to be ganging up on a small little boy. As Kaito watches from a nearby hill, they push him down into the dirt and kick a book away that he was carrying.

Kaito holds up his staff and summons a lightning bolt. "HEY!" he shouts at them.

The bullies immediately run away in fear of being caught and punished. Kaito slowly walks down and kneels along the side of the dirt road as the little boy picks himself up and sniffles a bit. He wears simple brown clothing and his hair is dark like his own.

"You okay, kid?"

He nods and sits still. Kaito looks over at his book. He reaches over and picked it up, examining it; it is written in a script he does not know. Edenian, perhaps.

He holds it out for the kid to take. "Here. You dropped this?"

Slowly, the boy reaches out and takes it, holding it close.

"Why'd they pick on you?" he asks.

"They... they laugh at me because I like to read."

"Well that's just stupid of them. Why on eart---Why on Edenia would they do that?"

He rubs his eyes. "T-they say that I don't live up to my name."

"What's your name?"

"K-Kaito."

A strange chill runs down Kaito's spine as he looks at the little Kaito. He had been told that his name was popular amongst the new children being born, but now that he's actually encountered one, it hits him harder than ever.

Kaito sits and observes the smaller boy for a moment before asking him, "What is your book about?"

"It's... It's about legends and myths and monsters."

"That sounds very interesting. I'm a big fan of legends and myths and monsters too. I usually end up punching them in the face."

He looks up a bit. "W-who are you?"

Kaito bites his tongue. "Let me ask you another question first; do you like your name?"

He seems a bit caught off-guard. "I... My mom says that I was named after a great hero. But I can't find anything about him in my book."

Kaito feels himself swelling with strange emotions; he feels incredibly honored that the boy was named after himself.

"Well... I could tell you a bit about him, if you like."

The boy stares for a moment before saying, "Yes, please?"

Kaito finds a nearby tree and sits underneath it in the shade. Little Kaito sits in front of him and listens as he begins his story.

"It all begins long ago, in a far-off and magical land known only as Japan..."

From Kaito's childhood to his father to wandering the world and fighting, to being called to the Mortal Kombat tournament, to fighting for Earthrealm and being banished to Outworld, liberating the people of a great city and travelling to Shao Kahn's fortress with his newfound friends. Battling in the second tournament, overthrowing the tyrant!

It doesn't take long for the other four children, the ones he scared off earlier, to return, curious. They slowly sneak up to listen to the story, and by its end, sit alongside Little Kaito as he talks about his final battle against Shao Kahn, where he was overtaken by the Crimson Thunder and forced to battle Raiden, before falling into a deep, deep sleep...

"But what happened next?" he asks and all the children stare up at him with wide eyes.

"Well... I'm still finding out," Kaito says to them. "But when the next part is done, I'll be sure to let you know."

He leans in close. "Oh, by the way... I'm Kaito."

The children all explode with excitement and run about him, asking questions and wanting to know more. Kaito looks down at his younger new friend and thinks about what he can do for the young man.

Kaito kneels down and takes off his headband. He hands it to Little Kaito.

"Here you go. This is from Japan. It's yours---don't let anybody else take it. And you know, you can be whatever you want; you can be a goofy guy who tells bad jokes in the face of danger or a smart, awesome reading guy. No matter what anyone else says or does, they can't take away who you are or what you want to be."

He smiles as he holds it. "And if these other kids ever give you trouble," Kaito lets his words hang in the air as he charges up his staff with lightning. The four of them grow quiet and sheepish. "We didn't mean to," one of them says.

He shakes his head as the little boy holds his book and headband close to him. He smiles as he waves at Little Kaito. "See you later, Kaito."

He then flies up into the sky as the kids cheer.

Having spent the afternoon on that, Kaito decides to investigate something else, now that he's in an especially good mood.

He soars towards the mountain where he met the woman of Earth, one of the five fractured remants of an Edenian god. He freed her as Otiak, but if what he was told is true, then all he did as Otiak was reversed...

And yet, someone asked for a password earlier and he gave the wrong one. The only other password he ever gave was to her, and yet, she should not know it, shouldn't she?

He flies to the mountain and lands alongside it. There, he finds three boulders; two of them are unbroken, while the third is smashed.

He scratches his head. This makes little sense...

Just then, a voice reaches his ears. 'What is the password?'

"Sodlid! It's sodlid! I know it's right this time because it's sodlid!"

At that moment, the ground rises alongside him. The dirt takes the form of a human woman before falling away, revealing the woman he once freed as Otiak.

"So, you are the one," she says. "I always wondered..."

"I don't understand," Kaito says. "How do you... know this? The password?"

"How do you?"

Kaito holds up a finger. "Well, I'm in the unique position of knowing why you know the password, because I told it to you originally after I freed you, but I wasn't myself at the time. So if you could explain things a bit from your end, kindly...?"

"Twenty years ago, I was freed. I knew not how or by whom, but I knew that one day, a figure would appear and touch his own statue. I slept in the earth peacefully until I was awoken by you. But... you failed to give me the correct password. So I slept some more. Then, you came here, to the place where I had been imprisoned. Curious, I asked once more. This time you were right."

"Yeah... about that. I was a bit surprised when you first asked, so I wasn't prepared... But do you know anything else? Who told you to do these things or how you learned them?"

"I have vague feelings... but I know that what I was commanded to do, I did. My joy at freedom is worth more to me than understanding the mysterious circumstances of my release... So, I would rather do as I have been bidden to do and bestow upon you a gift."

"A gift of the earth, right? I once freed a woman of water and she gave me the power to manipulate water and use it to heal others..."

She nods. "My sister... Perhaps you are..." she trails off.

"What?"

She shakes her head. "Pay me no heed. What do you desire for your gift; what power do you wish to draw from the earth and stone?"

>Describe your ideal earth-related ability. Stoneskin armor? Manipulating rock? Shaping the earth around us? Becoming like dirt? Summoning quakes? Perhaps something else entirely?

We should get the ability to shape the earth around us, ostensibly into constructs. That way, we can pull up walls of rock to shield us or create a chair for us to sit in or whatever we immediately need on hand. Stranded in a desert and need shelter? BAM, instant cave.

"Manipulating rock" and "shaping the earth" seem to go hand in hand, described this way.

What if they float like ermac
>>
>>44781631
Honestly, Tremorsense would probably be awesome as fuck and it wouldn't fill up our already bloated special ability set.
Backing this.

how can you not see some one floating

>>44781631
I like it. Seconding
>>
>>44781844
>>44781877
Tremorsense feels small in comparison to other powers like constructs, like it's a byproduct of what we may otherwise get. Besides, it's not like it's hard to feel the footsteps of a nearby giant coming towards you.

I guess Damashi can elaborate on how impactful tremorsense could be.
>>
>>44781929
side effect power of the other 2 powers suggested
>>
>>44781977
That's what I'm thinking. Tremorsense is a side effect of our geokinesis.
>>
>>44781929
>Besides, it's not like it's hard to feel the footsteps of a nearby giant coming towards you.
Yes, but it is hard to feel the footsteps of a cloaked saurian assassin sneaking up behind you.
>>
>>44781929
Geokinesis is just bloating our already bloated moveset. Fuck, we don't even use our water shit unless it's to heal or splash people.
A passive constant sense to feel vibrations and shit through the earth is useful as fuck and keeps us from getting ganked.
>>
>>44782101
Well, we never really had very long to use the hydrokinesis. Now that we've got time, we can practice it more, especially now that we've gotten training from Kung Lao.
>>
Alright, so there seems to be two primary camps:

Earthshaping/Stone Manipulation: Changing the environment around us by creating new shapes out of rock, stone and dirt

Tremorsense: Sensing vibrations through the earth and knowing distance, size and speed of the things around us

Seeing as how we got two last time (water manipulation and healing water) I will allow both on similar conditions; Kaito must focus his senses in order to pick up on the vibrations of the ground.

There are limitations to this; like his water manipulation, Kaito's geokinesis is unrefined and rough; he cannot create very large structures nor complex shapes yet, nor can he levitate stones or stop earth that is in the air from flying at him or elsewhere.

His earth manipulation and tremorsense must be connected to solid ground or stone, and the more manufactured it gets (smoothed marble floors, tiles, concrete) the harder it gets.

These are limitations that can be overcome in time.

Writing the next part now.

>>44782396
We really need to get Tremor now. Maybe we can trade taking him to the Earth Goddess for teaching us how to use shit better.
Also tell the Earth Goddess we might come back with someone later who should probably definately meet her.

Kaito explains himself. "I'd like be a cross between a graboid and that Earth-ring guy from the Planeteers, you know what I'm talking about?"

"Not in the slightest."

Kaito then explains the finer points of his desires; tremorsense and manipulation of earth.

She nods. "Very well, I shall grant you this gift. use it well. Open your mouth."

"My what? HEY, WAI--"

Kaito, at this moment, remembered all too late that the last time this happened, the woman of water jumped down his throat. Sure enough, the woman of earth becomes like dirt and surges towards him, launching into his mouth.

Kaito falls back as he gets covered with dirt as she vanishes. He rolls onto his stomach and coughs, feeling the dry dirt in his mouth and throat. He hacks up dirt and spits it onto the ground.

"Okay, serious--" he pauses to hack and wheeze a bit. "--seriously! What is WITH you chicks? Can't it be done another way?"

He coughs some more as he sits up. "Goddamn, I swear, when I meet Fire, I ain't doing this shit, no way. Air, maybe, we'll talk about it. But--" he coughs some more, "--damnit!"

After a moment, he stands back up and gets his breathing back to normal. He feels a little sick and woozy, but can stand on his feet and relax a bit.

When he feels comfortable, he sits back down, closes his eyes, and focuses.

He reaches out with his senses and feels the earth around him. The soft pitter-patter of a nearby animal, a pair of birds landing on the stones nearby, worms crawling in the dirt beneath him.

He opens his eyes and rises. He stamps a foot onto the ground, causing a crude column of stone to emerge with a violent thrust upwards.

He does it again and again, creating a series of higher and higher platforms for himself to leap onto.

As he jumps onto the highest platform, he closes his eyes and feels the wind rushing past as he clenches his fists, feeling his new powers surging within him.

Two down, two to go.

to be honest im just tired of Mileena

the only interaction we have had with her is us trying to make her a better person thats it nothing more
>>
>>44783260
Oh well, your hang up I guess


>>44783199
Cute
>>
>>44783260

Come on, man. I don't even want to waifu her, I just want to know how she's doing. If she's feeling alone, or happy, or angry.

I just want to see how our work has paid off and what kind of person she's grown into these last twenty years.

I'm sure Damashi's put a lot of thought into it.
>>
>>44783260
It ultimately paid off at the very end of the invasion, right before Kaito went to sleep. He missed 20 years of Mileena maturing from that event. He's got a lot to catch up on.
>>
>>44783155
>>
>>44783322
Since she's on sabbatical and Kaito wanders as it is, it would be unsurprising for her to join our entourage on the ship.

I love you anon

I'm more pissed the Mileena waifu fags get to go out of the way to get her, but if we ask for Korbin, or Tremor, or Yorick, NOPE!
>>
>>44784805
Except none of them make sense, Korbin never knew us and has a job. Tremor is dealing with his own shit somewhere with the black dragon and Yorrick is in the Neatherrealm.

We're here in edenia right now
>>
I've waited to long for this, we must waifu the mileena!
>>
>>44784805
That's because all of those happened when Kaito was Otiak, which - as you recall - never actually happened in this repaired timeline. Never mind that asking for them now would seem out of character, but as >>44784843 says, they're out of the way and have next-to-no connection to Kaito himself.

Kaito was here for Mileena. Kaito wasn't here for Korbin, Tremor or Yorick.
>>
>>44784874
Thus, the perils of a story where the events of a story are forever unknown to all but the main character. Kaito has to carry that weight himself.
>>
>>44784843
>>44784874
Except we still have a connection to them. I'm pretty sure Asgaarth would loan Korbin to us as a scout. Fuck, with the Nethership if he ever needs his Chief Spy it's just a phonecall away.
We have plenty of reasons to go get Tremor, the first of all the Earth Goddess and we know he goes all Earth Elemental and crazy powerful, so honestly even if he doesn't remember it, it's worth giving him some help and understanding with his powers.
But he doesn't have Tits and a Wedge, so you fags aren't biting the bit to help him, eh?
I just like Yorick, he's fun.

Besides, Korbin, Yorick and Tremor were all severely underused during the Otiak time and it'd give an excuse for us to go places we normally don't end up and for Damashi to write people outside of the core group.

Besides, you can't fucking use the arguement that they're out of the way, because Korbin is right here and you're all running to a random fucking ocean to find your precious Waifu.
>>
>>44784982
>I just like Yorick, he's fun.
im gonna tell you a theroy i have it that yorick was actually Scorpion
>>
>>44785037
Maybe. Maybe not. Worth picking him up just to try and figure out what the fuck he was, honestly.
>>
>>44784982
Korbin works for the throne and there's no reason to pull him from his duties.
Tremor doesn't know who Kaito is, so that would be an adventure in itself to pull him along and go wherever.
A wisecracking skull (who nearly got Otiak killed) doesn't justify risking a trip to the Netherrealm for the sake of curiosity.
>>
>>44785125
Nah man it's because they don't have vaginas...

Do people even listen to themselves goddamn
>>
>>44785125
Asgaarth already offered him to us when we asked about him. He wanted to know if we needed a scout.
Tremor doesn't, but that's an adventure worth taking. Honestly, going to see the Black Dragon in general would be neat because we've had like all of two lines of interaction with the entire organization and they were all through Kano.
We'll probably end up going to the Netherrealm eventually. Honestly, I'd like to go down there, see what's going on and shit while they're distracted with war and may not know Kaito is back, instead of going when a side wins and the fate of the world is at stake.
>>
>>44785190
I'm not against the Yorrick thing, but claiming we don't want to help Tremor, and throwing in because he's not a waifu, is fucking dumb mate.
>>
>>44785037
I had a theory that Yorick was alt timeline Kaito.
>>
>>44785206
Then let's go help Tremor. Let's take up Asgaarth's offer of a scout and bring Korbin with us.
>>
>>44785339

Please read>>44785125

We can't just take Korbin, he has a job and a life away from us.

As far as Tremor goes I'm content to settle that mess after we go back to Outworld.

And when we do go to the Neatherrealm, we'll probably end up with Yorrick again. The only reason I want to get Mileena NOW is because she's in the same realm as us right now, and probably wants to know that we're alive. We owe her that much i think
>>
>>44785390
>>44785339
So we'll find Mileena (since we're still in Edenia), then we'll go and find Tremor.
>>
>>44785390
Dude, Asgaarth up and offered Korbin to us and we have the Nethership. If he's ever needed, he is literally a call away from Edenia.
Besides, we're going to search an entire random ocean for people's waifu, we need a damn good scout.
>>
>>44785420
Sure, I'm pretty sure that the Black dragon are in Outworld anyway.
>>
>>44785456
They're probably in Kotal Kahn's throne room, honestly. Kano always cosies up to the leader of outland.
>>
>>44786090
Prolly
>>
>>44785390
That's fair. Since we're in the same realm we oughta check in at least.
Tremor's probably in Outworld with the rest of the Black Dragon at this time. If not, hey good for him.

I just want to say to everyone, now that we have our boat, there's nothing (outside of whatever plot Damashi cooks up) to stop us from doing all these things (going to see Mileena, Korbin, Yorick and Tremor) and much more.

He did say this part of the story would be more freeform and character-driven, so I think that it's all just in the order that we choose to go in.

Just because we're picking up Mileena first doesn't mean that we can't do the other things, that's all I mean, I mean they're not exclusive to each other.
>>
>>44788681
We're most likely going to end up in an "Outland turf war" plot at some point, considering the unsteady peace in Outland.
>>
>>44788721

With all the work Damashi is putting into establishing his magical realm of psuedo-furries, I can't wait to see what he adds to Outworld!

Kidding, Damashi, I actually really like these additions to the universe

But with all the talk of realms wanting to come back I bet someone is going to approach Kaito for help in freeing their realm from Kotal Kahn and Kaito is going to have a hard time remaining full paragon

The Edenia Kamidogu was the only Kamidogu we had a direct hand in recovering. No doubt others will look to us to recover the other Kamidogu for...stuff.

Good morning, everyone.

>...

With his newfound powers added to his array of abilities, Kaito flies back to the royal palace. The sun is setting and the night sky is rising along with the moon. By the time he reaches the back of the palace, the sun is almost entirely set, with only a few rays peeking over the horizon.

As he dips below into the waterfall-fed canyon behind the palace, he spies his ship, the Dragon Wing. He lands on the dock leading up to it.

The two Edenian Knight guards who once rebuked him at the gate now stand guard over it. They stand at attention as he walks up to them.

"The ship is prepared for you, sir," one of them immediately speaks up.

Previously, they had been made to carry all of the gifts Kaito had received from the edenian people.

He turns to regard them. "So, what kinds of things did you have to take to the boat, anyway?"

"Mostly barrels," one of them replies. "Some furniture and lots of small gifts."

"Also, stores from the palace, by the order of the royal family. Food, water, wine. Stock for your ship," the other says.

"We managed to fit it all in the cargo section beneath deck..." the first says, groaning a bit.

Both men are clearly tired and worn out from having to do all of the work by themselves.

"Also, there was the livestock."

Kaito turns his head back in surprise. "What? Livestock?"

One of them straightens. "Three cows, two horses, four sheep, seven cats and one dog."

"You put animals on my boat? I can't have livestock and a bunch of cats running around on my ship!"

"They're all in cages or harnesses, and they were gifts," the other guard clarifies. "You can always give them back. We've been instructed to return anything you don't like."

>>44789578

Kaito looks at them both. "So, who are you two, anyway?"

"I'm Biggs," says the first and taller of the two, "and he's Wedge," indicating the shorter and wider.

>A) Inspect the animals for yourself below deck

"Do you think they could be valuable? As gifts, or trade? How much are they worth?"

"Well, I don't know what animals are like in your world, but edenian breeds are hardy, strong and sometimes have magic in their veins," Biggs says. "Just to be gifted one is a great honor, if I may say so myself."

"The royal family has some!" Wedge adds.

Kaito turns to his boat, intending to inspect the animals for himself, but then turns back to them. "So, you two ever traveled far from the palace? Interested in a new job, maybe as crewmen on a ship?"

They look at each other. "Uh... sir?" Biggs says to Kaito. "We cannot simply abandon our posts..."

"Well, maybe I could arrange it. What do you say?"

"I like boats," Wedge says.

"Shut up!" Biggs tells him. "We're very important guards! We can't just up and leave the service of the royal family, we took an oath as Edenian Knights! Guardians of the realm!"

"Yeah, but we haven't been promoted in ten years," Wedge says.

"We must do our duty no matter how long it takes!" Biggs says back.

>A) You two seem alright here, I don't need you

>>44789827
>>44789864

"You know, I could talk to Asgaarth and Shendu about transferring you to me. Might help your reputation a bit to sail around the realms; something to put on your resume."

Wedge looks up at Biggs. "I think we should!"

"No!" Biggs says. "I mean, yeah I get it, but no! I never wanted to travel!"

"You always say that about new things. 'I don't want to try that new drink! I like the old beer better!' or 'I don't want to guard the south tower! We always guard the north tower!' Can't we try something new?"

"Change isn't always a bad thing," Kaito points out.

"Well, I'm set! I've made up my mind! I won't leave my post!" Biggs says.

"I'll go with you, if you'll let me," Wedge says.

Biggs protests. "No! You can't go anywhere without me, you'd die with how clumsy you are! You need me to watch over you."

"So you'll come along?" Wedge asks.

"No! I'm staying here, and so are you! It's our post!"

"But what if our post changes to the boat like he says he might be able to get?"

Biggs pauses. He looks at Kaito and suddenly smiles a nervous smile. "Heeeey, you don't really need two guys like us, right? I mean, you'll be fine, right?"

"He's afraid of the water," Wedge says.

Biggs turns to him, his face turning red. "You told me you wouldn't tell anyone! Why do I even share these things with you?!"

"Well, the offer stands until I set sail," Kaito says. "You two are relieved of duty, you can head back up to the palace."

They sigh in relief and make their way to the stairs leading up the cliffside.

Kaito turns to step onto his ship and inspect the cargo. True to their word, there are lots of gifts, usually home-made ones. There are also crates and barrels full of all kinds of supplies; maybe enough to last him a year or more!

Down below, he finds the animals in pens that were once used to house prisoners. They weren't lying about edenian animals; they seem massive! The horses look like war horses, with immaculate manes and lush coats, tall and strong. The cows are similarly muscular, with lots of meat on them and great horns. The sheep have amazingly soft cotton and come in a few different colors of white, gray and black.

Finally, there are seven cats in small cages. They are sleek and their eyes are bright and inquisitive as they peer at him. Their coats range between different colors of exotic shades.

And then there is a single cage with a puppy in it. The small, orange-red furred hound looks up at him with beady eyes set beneath a thick brow. Kaito doesn't have much experience with dog breeds, but judging from the size of the puppy and the slightly-droopy face, it seems like a baby mastiff. If it's an edenian breed, he thinks that it could grow to massive proportions.

It whimpers a bit and paws at the metal bars of its cage.

Kaito opens up the cage and the puppy springs out, bouncing up to him excitedly and pawing at him for attention. He pets the soft fur of the animal as it lets out a friendly bark before burying itself in his lap as he sits down.

"Well, you're a friendly one, arent you?" Kaito says as he scatches the puppy's belly. "Who's a good little guy, huh? Who's a good little guy?"

DID she ever find out what the word means? I think I missed this scene where Kaito got slapped.

My alternate suggestion is we name him Carlton and train him to go for the nuts in a fight.

She did. Liu told her what it meant ages ago and when Kaito arrived she gave him a good one.

Kaito plays with the puppy for a bit alternating between cuddling with him and scratching him all over. The thick fur covering his body is warm and soft and Kaito spends some time musing on a name for the dog.

He comes up with a few ideas, but he decides that he will finalize his choice later after some more thinking. He lets the dog have free roam of the ship while he takes stock of the remainder of his ship's supplies.

He has barrels of rice, dry meat, wine, water and assorted fruits and vetetables, as well as salt and sugar. Numerous crates are filled with other useful necessities and helpful commodities. With the furniture he was given, he can fully furnish the rest of the rooms on the boat, including his primary cabin. He was also gifted various woven works, such as rugs, curtains, tapestries and more.

By the time he is done, the moon is high in the sky and he feels rather tired.

Kaito steps into his new cabin and looks around it. The bed is large and the room also has a desk and some chests for storage. He hops onto the bed, with new fine edenian sheets.

There is a whimpering at its side and he leans over to look at the puppy, who cannot jump up. Kaito leans down and picks him up, placing him on the bed with him. The puppy snuggles close and lays down as Kaito rests, content to simply enjoy sleeping in his new cabin.

The next morning, he awakens bright and early. As he sits up and stretches, the puppy bounces happily around him, pawing at him. He picks it up and heads down into the deck to get some meat for a treat for the hound.

Kaito makes the necessary preparations for sailing before taking the dog on a short walk to do its business. He leaves the puppy on the ship with instructions to guard it. He doubts the dog knows how to follow orders yet, but the puppy sits on the deck and waits as Kaito flies up to the palace.

At the top, he grabs a very brief bite to eat from the dining hall.

Over the course of breakfast, Kaito manages to speak to Kitana, Liu, Shendu and Asgaarth.

Shendu and Asgaarth are surprised to learn that Kaito would be interested in taking on Biggs and Wedge as members of his crew.

"You aren't planning on punishing them more once they are out of sight, are you?" Shendu asks.

"No, no, I just need some people to watch the ship while I'm not on it. I have a dog down there, but he's still just a puppy. Besides, I feel like they could use a second chance."

Asgaarth nods and Shendu turns back to Kaito. "Very well. If you want them, I can assign them to guard your ship."

Kaito nods at Captain Shendu. "Yes, I'd like them transferred to my ship. You've my word that I won't punish them or anything like that."

After a moment of consideration, Shendu relents. "Very well. They will be yours to command. But even though they are not my best soldiers, they are still Edenian Knights. Treat them with respect and use them to their fullest potential."

Kaito accepts his conditions. He looks over at Liu. "So, when were you thinking of visiting Master Bo' Rai Cho?"

"I'm in no hurry," Liu replies over his simple meal. "I will go when you decide to go."

Kaito's thoughts drift towards Mileena.

"There's still some business I'd like to conduct in Edenia first before we head out," Kaito says to the Shaolin.

"I understand," Liu replies. "As I said, I am in no hurry at all. Take your your time."

Kaito excuses himself from the meal and leaves the dining hall.

With everything taken care of, Kaito leave the palace and flies down to his ship. It doesn't take long for Biggs and Wedge to arrive. Though Wedge looks forward to the new adventures he's going to share with his friend, Biggs looks out at the open water with unease.

The puppy barks excitedly as Kaito touches down and follows him around deck. The human, with the help of the two edenian knights, raises the anchor on his ship before he heads to the bow of the vessel.

He takes his lightning staff and sets it upon the wood and begins to channel energy into the ship. It moves away from the dock at his command at a steady pace.

Through the use of a compass gifted to him by one of the edenian people, he is able to orient himself in the proper direction and think about the southern seas.

The enchantment on the boat activates as fog surrounds the vessel. The transportation is simple and takes only a few minutes, as it is transporting itself from one location to another in the same realm.

When the mist disperses, Kaito and his ship are upon the open sea. In the distance are islands, some with mountains. The sky is clear, the wind is strong, the sea is beautiful and blue and Kaito has the freedom to go where ever he pleases.

Kitana said that Mileena was last seen heading towards a seafaring town known as Jewel Cove. That would be a good place to start looking, but he'll have to find it first.

Kaito orders Biggs and Wedge to fetch the sea charts. They return with a map.

"We found this," Biggs reports, handing it to Kaito.

Kaito looks at it. "Hmmm..."

He looks at the placements of islands on the map, and then around himself. He attempts to make his best guess as to where on this map he is. From there, he can make his way to Jewel Cove.

After taking his best short, Kaito manuevers his boat in the direction he believes he needs to go in. With the Staff of Raiden, he continues to channel energy into the ship to propell it, even against the wind.

As he sails, the puppy stands up against the railing and lets its tongue flop out as the wind rushes past. Not far away, Biggs is also leaning on the railing, hurling his breakfast over the side. Wedge comforts him with a few pats on the back.

It takes about an hour, but Kaito eventually sees the island in question. As he sails around a large outcropping of land, a fantastic port city comes into view and his breath is taken away.

The bustling port city of Jewel Cove has many buildings, some of which rise high above the land. Ships of various sizes and shapes can be seen, docked and sailing around the blue waters. The place almost looks like a palace or a fortress that has been taken over by the large population of sailors and merchants.

Kaito whistles to himself as he brings the boat towards it.

Kaito finds an open port and parks his ship alongside it. As he orders Biggs and Wedge to drop anchor and tie the ship to the dock, he heads down below and picks up a small bag of coins, just in case he needs it before stepping off. He holds out his arms for the puppy, who jumps off and into his hands. He pets the dog as he wags his tail before setting him down and walking towards the town with the puppy eagerly following.

Many things are going on around the docks. Merchants are unloading their ships, salty sea dogs are moving to and fro, and exotic animals can be seen. Kaito also notices that not everyone here appears edenian or human-like; he spies a large ape man, a few of the catfolk and even one or two avians.

With so much to take in, he wonders where to start.

Kaito looks up and sees a sign in front of a somewhat seedy-looking tavern. The sign reads, 'The Cheap Cauldron' and the interior is dim and candlelit.

As Kaito strides inside, stopping at the entrance, the conversations within stop. Sailors, some of them very gruff looking, turn in his direction.

He clears his throat. "I'm looking for a princess in a skimpy pink outfit."

For a moment, all is silence, before laughter overtakes all of the sailors. Kaito strides up to the bar and looks the bartender in the eyes as he sits down.

"Nice cape, lad," the man says.

"Thanks. It lets me fly," Kaito replies with a smile. He takes out some coins and puts them on the table. "Water, please."

Another round of laughter echoes throughout the room.

The bartender gives him a funny look before setting a glass in front of him and pouring a green liquid into it. "We drink booze here, boy."

Kaito holds it up to the light. "What is it?" he asks.

"Green," the man replies, and there's a series of chuckles from the corners of the room.

Korbin has a life here, we don't know him as Kaito and the biggest reason is honestly that we don't need him.

I'll just throw it out there, but I'm glad that Korbin is still being discussed. I personally really liked him in the Otiak storyline.

Just because we don't have him now doesn't mean he won't ever appear again, or that him becoming a party member is impossible, but I will say this: just wait until we get to see the crew of the ship that I've put together that Mileena is on. There may be some characters we could recruit.

Kaito brings the glass to his lips and discovers that it is sea water, salty as can be. He spits it out and the tavern roars with laughter once more.

He wipes his lips as the bartender pockets the coin. "I'll take that as a tip," he says, "and I'll give you one: you should probably leave, boy."

Saying your acting like a child isn't an insult. The only real reason you're bitter is because you think people are waifuing, which has been repeatedly been shown to be not the case with logic. The only argument you have for recruiting Korbin is, muh burd.

Also, your a cockgobbling shit smearing cunt.

You've not proven anything with logic. All you've done is make hypocritical excuses as to why we can't take the character I like, but made those same excuses in favor of the character you like.
I've given plenty of reasons, with logic as to why we have for recruiting Korbin. But each time those have been refuted with the same two excuses.
The only arguement you have for recruiting Mileena is waifuing.
>>
>>44797117
She's the person that's the closest to Kaito from an emotional stand point. She would probably want to know that the first person to treat her like a person is still alive. Also, it is in character to want to see her.

Korbin was an ally to Otiak, there's no reason as kaito to want to take a complete stranger on a mission with no real goal or destination.

Also, I was a Turana fag, piss off with your waifuing bullshit.
>>
>>44797189
>She's the person that's the closest to Kaito from an emotional stand point.

no she's not
all interactions with her were Kaito just trying turning turn her to the side of good thats all
>>
>>44797226
How does that not build an emotional connection? Enlighten me
>>
>>44797189
Actually, Turana is the character that's closest to Kaito from an emotional standpoint. She's literally the character we had with us the longest, her character is pretty much defined by her interaction with us, and generally if we were to go after anyone, we should have gone after her to smack her upside the head for all the retarded shit she's done.

But no, gotta go to Edenia. Gotta find Mileena. Mileena Mileena Mileena.

Because a scout/navigator/infiltrator is useful as balls?
Because as Chief Spy, he should generally be informed of the state of all the realms and if is with us an easily accessed source of information?
Because we can literally get him back to Edenia in like 2 seconds if we need to.
To see how much he's changed and to give us some baring from being Otiak now that we're Kaito?
To become friends again?

Plenty of reasons to take him.
>>
>>44797245
she knows Kaitos name and that he wanted to help her nothing more

while Turana knew that he he just wants to help lost his dad in a previous Tournament watched him get Justice for his dad an helped Kitana become Kahnum

the emotional connection you says is there isnt there
>>
>>44797339
I feel like the first two reasons are negatives from taking him from his job and realm.

The rest is fine, also we'll see him again.

Kaito takes out the Staff of Raiden and charges it up with electricity. He blasts several tables around the room in moments, destroying drinks and goblets holding the alcohol. The laughter ceases and everyone stands up except Kaito.

Kaito rises with his staff pointed in the air. "Now then... I said I'm looking for a princess. If anyone knows anything, speak up. Or if you think you can take me, by all means, give it a try... I've tangled with Outworlders, Chaosrealmers, the Orderrealm legal system and Shao Kahn himself, so please, try it."

After a moment, someone in the back moves forward and speaks up. "Ya be meanin' Mileena, don'tcha?"

Kaito looks at the older man. "Is she here?"

"Been here, aye, but not now she ain't. She's at sea with her crew for months on end, pullin' into port ev'ry now an' then for supplies before she's off. The ship yer lookin' for is the Red Wake."

"The Red Wake?"

"Aye, it leaves the blood of pirates trailing behind it where ever she goes."

"North, to hunt raiders off the coasts of the Starry Isles. That's where you'll find her."

"Thank you for having some sense, old man." He looks over at the bartender. "How about a drink for my dog? And if it's seawater, I'll blast this place to ash."

The man begrudgingly pours a small bowl full of water for the puppy. Kaito takes it and walks out, heading back to the ship. Once there, he places the bowl on the ground and lets the dog drink as he updates Biggs and Wedge.

"We could take the boat," Biggs says, "but you can fly, right?"

"Afraid of hurling some more?" Kaito asks.

Biggs looks away with his arms folded. "No, sir."

Tossing my 2 cents in. I would rather Korina stay were he is because he is an asset to Edenia and I want him to be there if/when the royal family needs him. But I am fine with approachING him and seeing if he'd like adventure on the sea. Mileena may be mah girl but I think we should just reconnect with her, catch up and see what she's doing. I love them both but I'd rather they stay where they can help Edenia.

Because reasons I guess? Sure bud


Turana also went full Shang on us, we also have no idea were she is in Outworld. I'm pretty sure we'll get our chance to find her after we go to Boraicho's school.

They've got other spies and they've got Kitana, Jade and Smoke for access to Ninja Shit. It shouldn't hurt Edenia too bad if we grabbed him, honestly.

Let's rock

Fuck it let's just ask him next time we see him

We have as much baring toward finding Turana as we did to finding Mileena. A few rumors and asking people about a Sorceress would have turned up a few leads.

>>44797435
I'm fine with this. Let's ask his opinion and leave it up to him.
If he thinks he's more needed in Edenia, I'll leave it.

Fuck, let's give Mileena the same option. If she wants to stay in Edenia, awesome. If she wants to come with us, awesome.

Alright, it's getting a bit much.

I just want to say that from my standpoint, I don't feel bad about any choice the players are making or who the majority is. Fact is, on my end, I've got tons of ideas for places to go, people to see, things to do and events to experience for our characters.

The order we do them in isn't terribly important to me, because I know that we'll get around to much of it in good enough time.

Having said that, I think that all the points about taking Korbin and Mileena, or about leaving them where they are, have been made and the arguments are both sound and I think the discussion is just going in circles now.

I really like both characters, I think they both open up a lot of avenues for interraction, character growth, adventures and companions. But I never intended them to cause an argument like this, and it all seems a bit funny to me because there's nothing preventing Kaito from bringing both of them along. Personally I would really enjoy it if they both ended up coming, but like I said before, the order of getting them isn't important to me, so long as people remember them and like the characters, which is really what I strive for.

But let's catch up with Mileena and see her new life before making any final decisions, yeah?

Anyway, I'll call the thread here. My D&D session will begin soon (I'm running Dark Sun for my players) and I'll kick off the next thread with the voted options.
