Revelations: Kitana

Kitana: Is this how you show your loyalty, Jade?

Jade: Kitana, I-

Kitana: You follow me when I clearly wish to be alone, then you upbraid me? I will not be scolded like some child!

Jade: You need to be careful, I have never seen your father this angry with you

(Kitana starts to walk away)

Jade: You are a princess, he expects more from you than this

Kitana: I know what he expects!

Jade: We will talk later, when you are in more of a mind to listen

Kitana: (Frustrated sigh)

(Raiden appears. Smoke, Kenshi, Johnny, and Echo with him)

Raiden: Princess Kitana, I request an audience

Kitana: Earth Realmers! You dare approach me?!

Johnny: Hey listen honey, we don't wanna fight

Smoke: But we will if we must

Echo: Indeed

Kitana: You will learn respect!

(Kitana fights Smoke and Johnny Cage at the same time. Both Johnny Cage and Smoke just assumed the other one would carry the fight, so Kitana was able to knock them both down)

Kitana: Shao Khan wants death to follow kombat. I will give it to him

Echo: I don't see Shao Khan here, do you?

Kitana: Here or not, irrelevant

Raiden: Perhaps Liu Kang was wrong about you. Or perhaps he sensed as I do, that there is conflict within you

(Raiden helps Johnny up)

Johnny: Thanks

(Johnny cracks his neck)

Johnny: Ow! You couldn't have seen that in one of your hot flashes?

Raiden: Something whispers to you that circumstances should be different. That you should be different. You are much more like Sindel than Shao Khan

(Raiden has a vision)

Kenshi: But she is dead

Kitana: My mother is dead, yes. Why do you-

Raiden: You need answers Kitana. I can help you find them if you will trust in me. Go to Shang Tsung's flesh pits. Much will be revealed in there

Kitana: The flesh pits? But I am forbidden to-

Raiden: Yes, you are. And why is that?

Kitana: I don't know. Tell me-

Raiden: You must discover your true path. Alone

Echo: It is as a wise man once told me, anything he hasn't told you, he doesn't want you to know

Kenshi: A warrior's path is theirs alone to choose

(Raiden teleports himself, Johnny, Kenshi, Smoke, and Echo away)

(Kitana takes a walk through a forest)

Kitana: Show yourself Jade, I know you're following me. Again

Jade: Following you still. I know where you are going. I am ordered to prevent you from going there

Kitana: And why is that?

Jade: I do not question the emperor's commands. Kitana please, turn back

Kitana: I cannot. This path may lead me to the truth. I am sorry Jade, but I will not allow you to stop me

(Kitana fights Jade. Jade wasn't trying to hurt Kitana, so she ends up being defeated)

Kitana: I tried to warn you. This is something that I have to do

(Kitana goes into Shang Tsung's flesh pits and finds a tarkatan version of herself in one of the pods)

Kitana: What in the name of-?

(Kitana finds another one on a table)

Kitana: She looks like... me!

(The replica opens her eyes)

Mileena: Sister!

(Mileena gets off of the table)

Mileena: So pretty, so fair, so sad and alone. Come, let us be a family!

Kitana: You are not my family! You are a monstrosity!

(Kitana fights Mileena and easily wins due to Mileena's utter lack of weapons or fighting experience)

Kitana: Farewell, sister!

Shang Tsung: That is no way to treat your sibling

Kitana: Despicable swine! Do you think that my father will stand for this... these... abominations you have created here?!

Shang Tsung: I am merely perfecting you, princess. As difficult as that might be

Kitana: Silence! I will drag you before Shao Khan by your pointed beard!

(Kitana fights Shang Tsung. He knew if he hurt Kitana too badly or killed her, Shao Kahn would take his head off, so he had to hold back. Kitana was able to completely manhandle him and secure the victory)

Kitana: Get up, you will stand before my father and confess your deeds

(Kitana brings Shang Tsung to Shao Khan's throne room with a couple of tarkatans watching Shang Tsung to make sure that he does not escape)

Shao Khan: What is the meaning of this?!

Kitana: I would not disturb you father, if this matter were not of utmost importance. I felt as if you should know what Shang Tsung has been doing as of late. This conjurer has created horrid replicas of me crossbred with tarkatan blood. One was alive and it attacked me!

Shao Khan: Well done, sorcerer

Kitana: You know? You approve? How could you? My own father!

Shao Khan: I am your emperor! Your father was a weakening Edenian king. I annihilated him while merging his realm with out world and took his queen as my wife. If only I had not allowed Sindel to convince me of your worth. But now I have a true daughter!

Kitana: Raiden was right. You have lied to me my entire life

Shao Khan: Escort her to the tower, I will make an example of her there

(The tarkatans grab Kitana and take her to the tower)

Shao Khan: Return to the flesh pits, bring me my daughter, Mileena

(Jade is watching from the shadows)

Jade: I have failed you Kitana, now I will make amends
