Begin dream…
I battled throughout Hell with the evil Quan T. He would pay for the pain he has caused me. The longer we spent there, trapped in what felt like a dome, the stronger I became. Everything he threw at me became futile. I was too powerful. I knew it wasn’t long before I would stand over his lifeless body. But then the unexpected happened. After he slipped through my clutches once again, I fell into a void. I felt as if I was being ripped apart by the souls of the past. Those who fell before me now clutched at my limbs. They pulled at me. My heart became heavy; my mind became clouded. I fought with everything I had to escape that place. I would succeed once again, but as I clawed my way out of that void, I found myself in a position that I had never been in before. Surrounded by beings I had only heard stories of, the legends of the past… the very creators of the current state of the realms.
From this place, I saw everything that was happening around me. While I fought against my own demons, everything began changing. I became aware of everything that had happened. I saw how Shane Kahn was removed from power. I saw Quan T and Sewa Tsung slay the champion Jem Kang. I saw Steve Lao fail in his own quest. And when nobody was left to help him, I saw Jonden himself step up to take on the Deadly Alliance that Quan T and Sewa Tsung had formed. Jonden threw everything but the kitchen sink at them, but their combined might was too much for him. And as Onaga, The Dynamite King returned, Jonden was forced into using one final tactic. He would sacrifice himself, and destroy Quan T, Sewa Tsung and The Dynamite King in one go. It seemed to have worked, as Quan T and Sewa Tsung were nowhere in sight once the dust cleared. But still standing in the middle of the chaos, was The Dynamite King. He was free to take his place on the throne once again, unchallenged.
Together with the creators, I watched as the word spread to the powerful combatants across the realms. I saw Bo’Rab Cho begin to take action, as he recruited and trained the likes of Vic Mei to help him. I saw Cut-Zero become nervous, as he struck a deal with Bo’Rab Cho to assist in eliminating this threat. In despair, I saw the likes of Arsaka and Sabreena devote themselves to The Dynamite King. They were joined by Startaru, who supported the order that The Dynamite King would bring. The resistance rose however as those who began flying The Dynamite King’s banner had made many enemies. It was scattered and unprepared however, and unless a unified front could be formed, The Dynamite King would destroy everything.
That’s when the creators became aware of my ascension to their plane of existence. I was confused by what I saw, as so many of the warriors involved had crossed my path at one point or another. I knew that if I returned to their plane, I would become involved, one way or another. I would have to choose a side. The creators talked to me, they told me what must be done. They warned me of the danger that The Dynamite King provided, and I made the conscious decision to oppose him. I became empowered. With Quan T gone, I had lost purpose. Now I have it again. I feel different. I feel… immortal. The rage I’ve fought with for so long, is completely devoted to my task. But I cannot leave any foe still standing. The deception that runs throughout the realms will now come to an end at my hands. I have been chosen. I am the champion. Now it’s time to prove it.
