Panel 1

A yellow/black garbed ninja has a hand gripping onto his neck. The yellow ninjas green eyes look up in pleading horror as we can't see who the person who has his hand around his neck, just the aforementioned hand, which to seem to have a black/blue wristguard on. they both seem to be in a Shaolin Temple.

?- No, please! Don't kill me, i have a wife and child!

Panel 2

Now we see the lit up walls of the temple as the two people's shadows hang on the wall. The shadows show that the mystery person is ripping the yellow/black ninjas head AND spine out as blood splatters on the wall as a scream of pain and torment it heard.

AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

SPLORCH!

Panel 1

A very big close-up of a opened up eyeball is shown. His eyebrow is black and bushy. But the most noticeable thing is that his eye has no color. It's just white, nothing more. It's like the eye opened due to the owner of said body part woke up.....

Panel 2

Which just so happens to be the case as another yellow/black garbed ninja gets up from his slumber in a strange forest, his costume is different from the first ninja. His mantle, hood, mouth cloth and loincloth were made of simple soft black cloth, yet it was unbreakable. Also had shiny black shoulder/knee pads and belt in a shiny black armor style with a spikes/skull motif. But what was noticeable was the whole costume used to be black. But on the mantle, hood, mouth cloth, loincloth, there seemed to be a weird yellow substance on them. Hard to tell what it is. This ninja happens to be Scorpion.

Panel 3

A downwards shot towards the right shows him reaching out for a black handled katana in it's sealth, ready for it's master to take it's command.

Panel 4

Now Scorpion is placing the sword on his back looking around, as if he knows somethings amiss in this surreal forest.

Scorpion (V/O)- The Living Forest isn't called that for show.

Panel 5/6

One panel (Panel 5) shows a tree with what appears to be a face on it's bark, as a low hiss is heard.

....oorrrr

The next panel (Panel 6) then shows the same tree's true appearance as it roars as the face starts to scream.

ROAARRRR!!!!

Scorpion (V/O)- There's a reason that the word "Living" is in the title.

Page 3

Panel 1

Scorpion just walks though the forest as the forest gives it inhuman roars.

ROOOAAARRRR!!!!

Scorpion (V/O)- But that doesn't matter right, as i need to talk to her.

Panel 2

A cutaway panel is shown showing a glowing female being in a temple, light shines all over.

Scorpion (V/O)- The Oracle of the Elder Gods, she knows everything about every single thing that happens in the realms.

Panel 3

Now Scorpion is shown flashback style coming out of his grave in the hard rain, except he has no mask on, showing his flaming skull, which the rain seem not to affect at all. And he's not happy at all. Dirt is all over his costume, which happens to be the one he wore in the first panel.

Scorpion (V/O)- Including that of why i was given my curse, the one that brought me back from the dead.

Panel 4

In a silhouette view, the same ninja is shown holding the ripped off head and spine in hand in the background while in front shows a familiar blue/black colored ninja from the upper chest up holding his arm up high.

Scorpion (V/O)- The Lin Kuei ninja known as Sub-Zero, one of many took my life, even after i pleaded for him not to.

Panel 5

Scorpion is now shown doing the "Toasty" fatality to Sub-Zero, killing him in the process while the two are on top of the Pit during the night where now both the moonlight and Sub-Zero's burning body light up the scene.

Scorpion (V/O)- But i came back and returned the favor.

Panel 6

Now Scorpion is shown in front of a grave while among many other graves with his head down, in the sky, you could barely see what appears to be Quan Chi's evil face.

Scorpion (V/O)- But it was no use, my wife and son were dead. So were my clan, thanks to Quan Chi.

Panel 1

Scorpion is now climbing up a snowy mountain, as if he's looking for something. He grips hard on the frost covered stone.

Scorpion (V/O)- But the Oracle will have the information i need.

Panel 2

Scorpion is now shown hanging by one hand as he made a mistake and looks down to show it's a long way down.

Panel 3

But luckily, Scorpion is able to grab on to another part of the mountain and hold on looking up.

Scorpion (V/O)- Oh, she better have the goddamn info i need or the Elder God's will need a new Oracle.

Panel 5

Now shown from inside a cave, a process shows Scorpion getting up from the mountain to get up in the background, then Scorpion is entering the cave katana out, then the closest Scorpion is shown having his free hand up with a small flame using it as a light source.

Scorpion (V/O)- This is the place, i can sense it.

Panel 6

Scorpion now stops and looks around to show he's in the middle of a huge room, standing on the MK dragon symbol and there's a stone figure in front of him.

Panel 7

A close up of the statue and thanks to Scorpion's flame shows it's of a female dressed in something that's very hard to describe, thanks to the limited light source.

Page 5

Panel 1

Scorpion's bowing down to the idol, giving his respects.

Scorpion- Oracle of the Elder Gods, please listen to my pleas. I need your wisdom.

Panel 2

Now the statue is now glowing as Scorpion stands in front of it, knowing he got her attention.

Panel 3

A close-up of Scorpion's face shows his eyes grow shocked at what we can't see. But we can tell it's good and bright.

Scorpion (To himself)- By the Elder Gods.

Panel 4

Thanks to the bright light around her, the Oracle is now shown in front of Scorpion and she's a beauty as she has shiny black flowing hair, white glowing eyes, a white veil over her mouth and she's wearing a tight legless/armless bodysuit which shows off her lascivious physique and is quite........ Revealing. (Think of Mileena's alternative MKD costume, but all white.)

Oracle (Echoish)- Hanzo Hasashi.......

Panel 5

Scorpion goes up to the Oracle carefully to which she shakes her head.

Oracle (Echoish)- It is all right, i won't strike.

Scorpion- Why do you refer to me by my former name.

Oracle (Echoish)- Nicknames mean nothing to me, to me. You are Hanzo.

Page 6

Panel 1

Scorpion now is kneeling in front of the Oracle who has her hand out.

Oracle (Echoish)- What is it you seek?

Scorpion- My curse, why must i live with it? Ever since i got my revenge on the Elder Sub-Zero, i have been living with my curse since.

Panel 2

Scorpion, for the first time since before he died for the first time looks at The Oracle with pleading eyes, all shown close-up style.

Scorpion- How do i get rid of it?

Panel 3

A close-up of the Oracle shows that even know it's sorta hard to tell, she feels sorry for the ninja and is waving her hand though her raven colored hair.

Oracle (Echoish)- You want to be reunited with your family, don't you? For you to die and be with them again?

Panel 4

Scorpion looks up and nods his head while looking at her.

Scorpion- I would even go against the Elder Gods, just to have even one minute with them.

Panel 5

In a side-view, The Oracle then lowers herself to Scorpion and looks right into his eyes.

Oracle (Echoish)- Hanzo, take off your mask and look at me.

Scorpion- What?

Oracle (Echoish)- Just do it.

Panel 6

Scorpion now starts to take off his mask as the Oracle watches him. You can't see much of Scorpion's head area.

Panel 7

The Oracle under the veil is smiling as she knows she was right.

Oracle- You may think you always had this curse.....

Page 7

Panel 1

Now Scorpion's face is shown at last as the oracle touches his cheek. it's not of bone or fire, but of flesh and blood. He's shocked at his face being back. His eyes are still pale, but his hair is a black bushy and scruffy mix, as is his beard, which is grayed up. Seems he gotten some years put on him, but still looks young.

Oracle (Echoish)- But after all you've been though, the Elder Gods have been slowly healing you.

Scorpion (Shocked)- My Face......

Panel 2

The Oracle now stands up as does Scorpion who's still feeling his face, the Oracle is still looking at Scorpion.

Oracle (Echoish)- Yes, by doing what the Elder Gods wanted, your soul has been slowly coming back, giving you your former image back.

Scorpion- What about my powers?

Oracle (Echoish)- They'll let you keep em', as a reminder. There is something i must show you.

Panel 3

Now shown from behind the Oracle's back, she takes off her veil, shocking Scorpion.

Scorpion (Shocked)- No way.....

Panel 4

Now the truth is shown as under her veil, the Oracle is still beautiful. But her lower face is shown showing Scorpion a truth about her.

Scorpion- Mizuki, my love......

Oracle (Echoish)- Yes, when i died, i became the new Oracle for the Elder Gods. But i kept a close eye on you Hanzo.

Panel 5

The Oracle, now known as Scorpion's former wife Mizuki now gets close to Scorpion holding him as her face is close to his.

Mizuki (Echoish)- You're gonna do the right thing, i know it and in return, you'll at last be put to rest peacefully and me, you and Takashi will be together forever.

Scorpion- I promise i will.

Panel 6

Then Mizuki lets go off of Scorpion who looks at her focused.

Mizuki (Echoish)- I know you will, now i must go back.....

Panel 7

But Scorpion reach at her as she turns around to look at him.

Scorpion- Wait, can i kiss you, just one more time before you go back?

Page 8

Panel 1

Mizuki gives Scorpion a long (Or that what it seems) kiss on the lips as the two embrace.

Panel 2

Now Mizuki now backs up and gets back in pose as she has her veil back on as Scorpion watches her.

Mizuki (Echoish)- Do what you need to do my love.

Panel 3

Now Mizuki is back in her Oracle stone form to which Scorpion lowers his head.

Scorpion (Low voice)- I will my love, for us.

Panel 4

Scorpion then turns away and walks away as he puts his mask back on, away from the Oracle statue.

Panel 5

Now a close-up of the statue of the Oracle's face shows that a tear comes down from the eye.

End.
