Cassie Tower Ending
|
First Line
For the second time in my life, I kicked the living shit out of an immortal. My prize? The Hourglass.
|
|
First Line
Now I can change history! Talk about ridonkulous cosmic power.
|
|
First Line
But despite what you may think about Beverly Hills girls, that is SO not my style. The Chosen One thing is for the Liu Kangs and Kitanas of the world.
|
|
First Line
In the next timeline, all I want to be is a model soldier. To command the next generation of Special Forces. We were born to defend Earthrealm!
|
|
First Line
Just like the heroes that inspired me... my parents.
|
|
First Line
Okay, so there's one more thing I want: My mom back.
|
|
First Line
Not just for me, but for dad. He and my mom deserve a happily-ever-after retirement.
|
|
First Line
We'll never know how different things were last time around. But we'll be together. A family.
|
|
First Line
And that's all that matters.

Jax Tower Ending
|
First Line
All I wanted was to fix my life. Now I have the power to fix history.
|
|
First Line
Raiden warns me, I can't fix everything. Change too much and I could lose Vera. Lose Jacqui.
|
|
First Line
But this power's bigger than us. If I think about helping myself, what kind of officer am I? What kind of man?
|
|
First Line
I've been lucky. My family and I have lived the American Dream.
|
|
First Line
But most people who look like me haven't had that chance. I owe it to them to put things right.
|
|
First Line
And I'm not waiting centuries for people to get woke, when I've got the power to speed things up.
|
|
First Line
I don't get it right the first time. Or the second. Or even the third.
|
|
First Line
But eventually, I knock it out of the damn park. My family's back. The world's a better place for everyone.
|
|
First Line
Turns out, you CAN have everything. Anyone who says you can't, needs to dream bigger.

Liu Kang Tower Ending
|
First Line
What does it mean to wield the Sands of Time? To be the Chosen One?
|
|
First Line
It means making choices that break your heart.
|
|
First Line
For the protection of all, I shared Kronika's power with the people I trust and love most.
|
|
First Line
Together, we replaced the Elder Gods that Cetrion had betrayed... and became the eternal guardians of the realms.
|
|
First Line
Still...
|
|
First Line
My heart longs for a simpler life. The kind one cannot have being the Chosen One, let alone an Elder God.
|
|
First Line
What Kitana and I would not give for those simple pleasures. Perhaps in another timeline, they could be ours.
|
|
|

|
Nightwolf Tower Ending
|
First Line
Before I was Nightwolf, I was a fool named Grey Cloud.
|
|
First Line
Born into poverty, I resented my ancestors for giving up our future to colonizers...
|
|
First Line
Kano offered a way out, promising riches if I stole my tribe's most sacred relics.
|
|
First Line
I was sorely tempted, but then I realized by saving myself, I'd be surrendering the last of my people's dignity.
|
|
First Line
For the first time, I defended the Matoka's pride.
|
|
First Line
Kano was unimpressed.
|
|
First Line
But as I lay dying, the Great Spirit came to me.
|
|
First Line
By rejecting Kano, I had proven worthy of an ancient honor. The mantle of Nightwolf... legendary defender of the Matoka.
|
|
First Line
Now, as I inherit Kronika's mantle, the way before me is split.
|
|
First Line
The Keeper of Time cannot also be my tribe's defender. Which path do I choose?
|
|
First Line
Even here, at time's beginning, the Great Spirit's wisdom guides me. She calls me to restore history.
|
|
First Line
The Matoka, I must leave to another.
|
|
First Line
To the next Nightwolf. Like all our sacred relics, the Nightwolf mantle belongs to the tribe.
|
|
First Line
Any Matokan can prove worthy of its power.
|
|
First Line
I enjoy imagining who will defend us next.
|
|
|
|

|
Raiden Tower Ending
|
First Line
Kronika had manipulated me. In timeline after timeline, she stoked my anger and fed my arrogance, turning me against Liu Kang.
|
|
First Line
My nose rubbed in my own fallibility, I was humbled. How could I be worthy to accept the mantle as Keeper of Time?
|
|
First Line
I thought that to control time and destiny fairly, I must purge myself of all human emotion. Summoning the strongest magic, I burned away my fear and anger. All that remained was pure logic.
|
|
First Line
But I learned quickly that the logical choice is often not the just choice. Unless tempered by compassion and heart, logic leads to decisions no better than those based on anger or fear.
|
|
First Line
Now I am once more at time's beginning.
|
|
First Line
But on this journey through history, I will infuse logic with love.
|
|
First Line
In this timeline, I will finally achieve peace for the citizens of all realms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rambo Tower Ending
|
First Line
I didn't ask for this war. But once it started, I had to finish it.
|
|
First Line
Hands down, Kronika was the toughest enemy I ever faced.
|
|
First Line
All my tactics, my training, meant nothing against a god like her. In the end, it was a battle of wills.
|
|
First Line
It never occurred to me that for winning, I'd get her Hourglass.
|
|
First Line
At first, I hoped to right every wrong in history.
|
|
First Line
But then I figured out that doing it meant that I'd have to decide the fates of billions.
|
|
First Line
Picking who lives and who dies for eternity? It was going to kill my soul.
|
|
First Line
I'd end up no better than those old men who sent us off to war, not giving a shit about what would happen.
|
|
First Line
And that's not the man I want to be.
|
|
First Line
It's time to walk away, for good this time, leaving the pain and the ugliness behind.
|
|
First Line
After all I've been through, I've earned a little peace.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Scorpion Tower Ending
|
First Line
I made my Future Self a promise: that I would not stay mired in the past.
|
|
First Line
But once I controlled the Hourglass, I could not keep that promise.
|
|
First Line
I had to restore my family.
|
|
First Line
Over and over I crafted the Sands of Time. Yet in every new timeline my family's tragedy repeated. I was powerless to change it.
|
|
First Line
After eons, I learned the truth. Kronika was not alone. She was one of many Titans, each more powerful and ancient than the Elder Gods.
|
|
First Line
It is they who conspire against us.
|
|
First Line
Myself, my family. We are pawns in their game.
|
|
First Line
Why? I do not know. But I will find out. And then, I will have vengeance.

Spawn Tower Ending
|
First Line
I'd snuffed out every devil in Hell...
|
|
First Line
...until Netherrealm invaders showed up to piss me off.
|
|
First Line
It would've cost me a lot of power, fighting them alone.
|
|
First Line
But they were being hunted by my new friends.
|
|
First Line
Call them Fire and Ice.
|
|
First Line
They argue. CONSTANTLY.
|
|
First Line
Which is why I usually like to roll solo.
|
|
First Line
But when it comes to killing demonic assholes, these guys don't flinch.
|
|
First Line
I can get along with that.
|
|
First Line
The Grandmasters tipped me off to Kronika.
|
|
First Line
Said she was resurrecting some Netherrealm god named Shinnok.
|
|
First Line
But that's not happening on my watch.
|
|
First Line
Kronika's just as much a devil as Malebolgia. Both make promises. Both tell lies.
|
|
First Line
Both underestimate me.
|
|
First Line
That's why I'll make a new hell for them, where they can burn together...
|
|
First Line
...for eternity.
|
|
First Line
The Netherrealm's locked down, but there's still eight Hells left to purge.
|
|
First Line
It's time to bring up the reserves.
|
|
First Line
I made choices in my life that sealed my fate.
|
|
First Line
I'm beyond redemption.
|
|
First Line
But even the damned are capable of doing some good.
|
|
First Line
So all you Devils out there, making false promises and spewing lies?
|
|
First Line
We're coming - and you don't have a chance in Hell.
