Jinko, I think I sent you this story before.
After the fall of Shao Kahn:
Growing tired of Quan Chi’s failed conquest, slowly his 3 closest assassins had begun to lose faith in the sorcerer.
Even though Shinnok would be freed, they had serious doubts as to Quan Chi’s promise that Earth would be under his control.
Sareena knew about the portal that Quan Chi used to travel to EarthRealm, but considering that she would be out-numbered by Johnny Cage, Raiden and Sonya, she didn’t use it.
After all, Quan Chi rules the NetherRealm, and a demon leaving the NetherRealm would be seen as a treacherous act.
The 3 assassins Kia, Jataaka and Sareena are sent by Quan Chi (along with Scorpion) to investigate various disturbances throughout the NetherRealm, shortly after the fall of Shao Kahn, and were ordered to “kill anyone who is a traitor to the NetherRealm.”
Each one of them was to guard a different area of the NetherRealm.
Scorpion investigated the North end.
Kia investigated the East end.
Jataaka investigated the South end.
Sareena was left to investigate the West end.
During her investigation of the West end of the NetherRealm, Sareena happened to notice a fallen warrior lying on the ground, unconscious.
Where he had come from or who he was remained a mystery to her.
He had cuts all over his body as if he had been in a sword fight against a multitude of people, and the garments he wore were torn to shreds.
He was alive but very badly injured.
Curious as to the identity of the fallen warrior, Sareena hid him in a cave, near the area that she was investigating.
Days went by with Kia Jataaka, Scorpion and Sareena reporting to Quan Chi, then continuing their guarded posts.
Sareena never reported the warrior that she found for fear that Quan Chi and the other NetherRealm assassins would turn against her, due to her treachery.
The warrior would gain consciousness from time to time, for a few moments, and then pass out again in pain.
After a couple of weeks, the warrior regained consciousness.
Sareena had check in on him to see how he was doing, but in doing so had neglected to report to Quan Chi.
The injured warrior still didn’t know how he had arrived at the NetherRealm or entirely what happened to him.
He thanked Sareena for her hospitality and began to explain:
“All that I remember was that I was in a green energy field, and it felt like I was physically being torn apart.”
“I no longer felt this evilness lingering inside of me.”
“ I blacked-out from the pain, and I’m surprised to have even survived.”
Quan Chi’s suspicion began to rise, and he wondered if Sareena had been killed, captured or just departed altogether which would be a betrayal on her part.
He sent Scorpion, Kia and Jataaka to find out the whereabouts of Sareena.
From the entrance of the cave, Sareena could see that Scorpion, Kia and Jataaka were looking for her.
They spotted Sareena with the strange warrior and began running towards her.
By helping this stranger, Scorpion saw her as a traitor and teleported right for her.
Just as Scorpion was about to slash her with one of his swords, the strange warrior used all of his might and pushed her out of his way, leaving Scorpion stuck in a block of ice.
Sareena was shocked that she had survived, and was quickly on her feet again.
Kia and Jataaka were in pursuit when they saw that Scorpion was momentarily incapacitated and that Sareena was escaping.
Sareena helped the injured warrior to his feet, and instructed him to head for the EarthRealm portal that Quan Chi had previously used.
As they went through the portal, it closed up behind them, which left Kia and Jataaka stuck in the NetherRealm.
Scorpion, Kia and Jataaka reported to Quan chi what had just happened, and Quan Chi re-opened the portal for the 3 of them to pursue Sareena and bring her back alive, and to kill this mysterious warrior.
Sareena and the injured warrior had arrived to a small farming village.
They went walking through and one of the villagers faintly recognized him saying “Bi-Han?”
