STREET FIGHTER VS MORTAL KOMBAT: CONVERGENCE
* Many manipulations were made by both Kronika and Liu Kang in their attempts to rewrite the realms. Shang Tsung may have been successful in manipulating events himself. One of those fractured timelines created the Convergence of two worlds driven to Kombat! *
BACKGROUND/TIMELINE
In the New Beginning…
• Message from Thunder God Liu Kang in the future to Shujinko. Told to gather leaders of the realms at the Nexus with the Kamidogu.
• Onaga appears and is subdued by the others. Arguments erupt, finally an agreement to move to a secret location in Earthrealm.
• At underground temple, group prepares and summon the One Being, with bickering throughout.
• Gathered powers destroy the One Being, unknowingly causing the power ripple that leads to the Cataclysm of Earthrealm.
• All agree to prepare for final Mortal Kombat tournament with clean slate, featuring more than Outworld vs Earthrealm.
• Raiden calls out to Shao Kahn, demands agreement that they not compete. Truce until Tournament shared by all.
Kamidogu & The One Being: Aftermath…
• As leaders prepare to leave, Scorpion arrives and demands Quan Chi. None object, and he is taken to Netherrealm. Moloch and Dramin appear to help; Scorpion dispatches. Scorpion burns Quan Chi to dust, claims rulership of Realm.
• Lookout must be kept for Taven & Daegon; Edenia tasked with researching Prophecy & Temple.
• Raiden tells Jax to prepare Earthrealm, delivering messages to Black Dragon, Lin Kuei, White Lotus. He must meanwhile see to a dead friend…
• Shinnok remains the only one to avoid conflict, remaining silent throughout proceedings. While he plots the place of the Netherrealm and a way to use it to take power from the others, Raiden and Fujin appear and destroy him in epic tempest of power explosion death.
• Shao Kahn swears vengeance against Shujinko, Raiden, and Onaga. Kotal Kahn made a general to avoid his domain revolting. Goro sent to train around Outworld. Shang Tsung appointed Spymaster; goal is still the ultimate conquest of the Realms.
NEW MK TOURNAMENT RULES
• No war between Realms
• 10 Victories allows takeover of other Realms
• Realm Leaders/Protectors cannot enter; mortals only
• 1 v 1 Fights Only
• Last surviving faces previous champion (their only fight)
• Open Challenge format – host decides otherwise
• Street Fighter characters initially wildcards; mostly Earthrealm representation
Blaze & Armageddon…
• Taven, Daegon, Prophecy -> Both hunted in the Realms, location of Pyramid unknown.
• Shang Tsung has idea for solving crisis, but no one trusts him. Shao Kahn only wants solution that gains more power.
• All are warned about the coming increase in rage and the drive to Armageddon. Some see opportunity. Netherrealm is unaffected.
Current Status…
• Raiden: Resurrected Liu Kang, needs help of Shang Tsung to acquire soul. Must focus primarily on Cataclysm of Earthrealm.
• Onaga: Anticipates Civil War in Outworld, per revenge on Shao Kahn. Gathering allies, starting with Kotal Kahn.
• Shao Kahn: Granted Baraka & Mileena rulership of Tarkatans, Saurians. Building forces until chance to invade and seize power presents itself.
• White Lotus: Preparing for MK and Armageddon. Trusting Raiden to deal with Cataclysm.
• Special Forces: Distrustful of Shao Kahn; assume Cataclysm is somehow his doing. Want only to keep Earthrealm intact.
• Lin Kuei: Want to return to shadows, avoid spotlight. Focus on Outworld spies until Cataclysm rages; late accepting of mergers.
• Black Dragon: Opportunity. Business booms. Neutrality. Kano seeks interdimensional enterprise.
• Shirai Ryu: Current void in leadership, few picking up pieces to maintain clan. Truce w/Lin Kuei inspired by Scorpion, who plans to make them his Earthrealm ‘embassy’ of the Netherrealm.
Cataclysm of Earthrealm…
• Shao Kahn watches, waiting for opportunity with spies in place. Will later contemplate deal with SF bad guys.
• Merger of Earths has begun; separate but equal. Growing natural disasters. New powerful warriors, good and evil.
Shujinko’s Path…
• Following normal path of history to the point of Thunder God Liu Kang’s message from the future to gather leaders of Realms to meet, Onaga’s plan having been revealed.
• Collecting the Kamidogu, maintaining ruse with Avatar.
• Destruction of clones (Shao Kahn, Kitana)
• Destruction of Orbs (Restoration of Realms)
• Must work to avoid Cataclysm/Armageddon
M. BISON AND KAHN
- M. Bison approaches Shao Kahn, seeks information on Realms, MK Tournament; may have mutually beneficial proposal. Discussion had about possible outcomes.
- Alliance decision: M. Bison will sabotage SF Verse, but rule Earthrealm post-merger. Kahn will be ally in taking other Realms, splitting the bounty. Both agree that there is no trust, but the Cataclysm is opportunity.
