Vision?

Before Sektor can finish Smoke, Nightwolf throws his tomahawk across

the temple and hits Sektor in the chest. As the mystical weapon

dissolves back into Nightwolf's hands, Sektor throws up a fighting

stance and faces down the shaman.

NIGHTWOLF: You are no match for the power of the Spirits.

They fight. While Sektor has filled his robotic form to the brim

with weapons and technology, it doesn't give him the advantage

against Nightwolf's mystical strength. After a fierce exchange,

Nightwolf manages to leave Sektor down and disabled on the ground.

NIGHTWOLF: Perhaps even you can be saved.

Around the temple, Smoke repeatedly punches a cyborg and kicks it

down. Kitana decapitates another with her bladed fans. Cyber

Sub-Zero is busy reprogramming another downed opponent with Kabal

watching. As Nightwolf checks the area, Kitana walks up to him.

NIGHTWOLF: What is it?

Kitana doesn't reply at first, but then she spots what she was

looking for.

KITANA: Mother...

Sindel walks into the temple, letting off a banshee scream

multiplied tenfold from her original powers. Sonya and Stryker are

pushed to the stairwell by the force, Sub-Zero is forced to generate

an ice shield, Jade wards off the attack as best she can with her

staff, while Johnny Cage only keeps his balance by holding onto one

of Jax's arms. Only Nightwolf is uneffected by the scream.

SINDEL: Come forward, if you dare. I will finish what the Lin Kuei

could not.

The Forces of Light quickly come together.

JAX: Let's do this.

NIGHTWOLF: Attack!

Nightwolf charges Sindel with a tomahawk raised, but she parries

the attack and punches him across the face, knocking him down.

Johnny Cage tries next, but Sindel blocks his attacks, grabs his

arm, knees him and punches in the face, letting him drop. Kabal

moves in, but Sindel kicks him down before he can even strike and

stomps her heel straight through his respirator, killing him. She

lets off a laugh as she does so.

Stryker attacks next, but Sindel dodges his attack, kicks him in

the knee and caves in his lower jaw with a ferocious punch, killing

him. Cyber Sub-Zero charges in, but Sindel blocks his attack,

punches him across the face, rabbit punches him and unleashes a

brutal uppercut to his face that destroys his mainframe and sends

his body flying away, sparking as it does so. Jax runs to face her,

but she grabs both of his arms and drives her heel square into his

throat, spraying blood from his neck and killing him too.

Smoke tries to kick Sindel, but she grabs his leg, knees him in the

groin, then grapples him in a sleeper hold and snaps his neck. Sonya

charges right into a high kick that sends her sprawling. Jade rushes

forward and tries to punch Sindel, but Sindel grabs her hand and

punches her in the face twice. Kitana runs forward with a roundhouse

kick, but Sindel ducks it and grabs Kitana in a choke hold. She kicks

Jade away and throws Kitana aside, before turning to Jade and

finishing her by tearing out her stomach.

As Sindel throws the organ aside, Kitana attacks again. Sindel blocks

her attacks, punches her twice and kicks her down. As Kitana tries to

rise, Sindel grabs her arm, pulls her in and repeatedly punches her in

face, before dropping her with a flying kick. Kitana rolls over onto

her stomach, and though unable to stand, gets to her knees.

KITANA: Mother, please!

SINDEL: I am no longer your mother.

KITANA: Mother, this is not your way. Shao Kahn has corrupted you!

SINDEL: Shao Kahn has resurrected me! You have betrayed him. Embraced

a pathetic cause.

KITANA: Remember Edenia, mother. Remember your rule before Shao Kahn's
