Overall Disclaimer: Mortal Kombat is the intellectual properties of Warner Brothers, Netherealm Studios and Ed Boon. I make no money writing this fictional story.

Claimer: There are several original characters present in the story that are NOT own by Netherealm, but created by me.

Overall Warnings: Alternate Timeline, possible out-of-character behavior for canon characters, some language, some violence, homosexual relationships and sex.

Important Notes:

This story took over four years of my life. I've haven't been able to write this story continuously, but this story was written in a notebook for years before being typed in a computer. This thing got away from me, and I'm still forever trying to write it and re-write it. This thing is my baby. It's not perfect, but I love it just the same.

For the sake of the story, MKX does not happen after MK9. This is a result of Raiden fucking up multiple timelines while trying to correct the timeline in MK9. This is a new timeline, where the Outerworld Investigation Agency became a global faction in place of Special Forces.

Sonya is not yet Commander, and her and Cage have just married. They haven't had Cassie yet.

Jax is single...ish.

Cyrax was able to be reformed in this timeline, and escaped the Lin Kuei prior to Sektor taking over.

Sub-Zero does not, or rather, is unable to intervene in Sektor's hostile takeover of the Lin Kuei.

Sektor and Cyrax will be known by other names; civilian identities, if you will. They are as follows:

Sektor – Jiao Hou (Written in the Eastern way. This means that Hou is his given name, and Jiao is the family name.)

Cyrax – Fenyang Nhuru (Written in the Western way. This means that Fenyang is his given name and Nhuru is his family name.)
