If he was able to use the white Dino gem, Mesagog woulda been unstoppable, I think. Trent had it and completely owned the dino rangers and woulda have continued to if he didnt turn good.

Mesagog had power on his own and it wasn't even his full power. (See final episode where he turned into the full power mesagog.)

So yea, Mesagog was gonna be pretty damn tough! Idk if he woulda turned into a ranger, but he woulda added the power to his own and yea woulda been unstoppable, i believe!

Power Rangers Turbo Season One Episode One ("Shift Into Turbo, Part 1") AU Questions: If Justin Stewart gave Rocky DeSantos his Turbo Morpher and Turbo Key before taking his equivalency test (out of the fact that Divatox decided to push back her invasion of Earth for one day to do something big) and bring up good reasons why he should be the Blue Turbo Ranger instead of him, what if those reasons convince Rocky to take Justin's arsenal and resume his Ranger duties?

And what happens if Justin was made the Power Rangers' second tech head alongside the other one in Alpha 5?

Yeah I know what you mean. I had a fic where I sorta stopped halfway through the story as well and I never bothered to continue. Procrastination is deadly sometimes lol.

I'm not on Fanfiction.net but I do read a lot of MK fics there. MK Parallel being my favorite one. I'm a sucker for alternate timeline stories.

What's really interesting about your story is the lore of MKU2 VS that of the canon story. The whole idea of Earthrealm being lost to Outworld at one point as well as some characters that are normally evil being good.

I also want to see the conclusion to the story mainly to see Quan Chi get his pasty ass kicked for all the shit he put Liu and the others through lol.

But yeah if you get the itch to write the story again that would be nice, no rush or anything. Or if you have the chapters done already it would be cool if you posted them. Really want to know who the 5 guys were that Johnny Cage talked about.

I appreciate the love for this story.   its not one of my popular ones on Fanfic(actually its my 2nd popular but its still MUCH less than my number one, so I did not cater to it much and I havent been on Fanfic in a long time.

I was VERY much into the whole lore of the MKU2 as well. Had it all planned out and was gonna do it all on fanfic, but Life then other fandoms came into play(MMPR, Dragonball Super, etc most noticeably). and since Parallel didnt get that many views, I said fuck it. lol

Y'know reading Chp 4 of your story really got me interested in what you meant by the Elder Gods being evil in MKU2.

Are they like subtly evil in your story? Like secretly allowing the bad guys to get away with doing stuff? Or do they actually directly get themselves involved in things to help the villains?

ULTIMATEbudokai3 In reply to SMXV2 [2017-05-18 09:02:38 +0000 UTC]

Well, they aren't evil, they are neutral in every sense of the word.

Unlike the normal Canon elder gods, the ones in MKU2 WILL intervene and  do things that will ultimately benefit them and their goals, so if that means helping out villains, they will do it, or helping out heroes, they will do it .

They aren't out for domination or anything, its like they wanna fuck with you simply because they can, follow me? And most times, their schemes make since to them alone.


Actually you will find out what I mean near the end of Parallel(slight spoiler)...if I ever finish it. :/

SMXV2 In reply to ULTIMATEbudokai3 [2017-05-18 16:01:10 +0000 UTC]

So basically they do things to suit their goals? Unlike the Elder Gods of MKU1 who would never intervene on any matters unless they were directly threatened (think to the end of MK9). Or that they do things just to screw with the heroes because they can?

You used a mafia example in your chapter where basically Shang/Quan use the MKU2 EG's to deliberately favor themselves somehow. As if Shang was Al Capone and the EG's where the police in the 1920's. It's very intriguing.

On an unrelated note i'm also really interested in the lore of MKU3. Is it like a slightly altered version of MKU1? Most of the things in that universe follow MKU1 for the most part albeit the absence of some characters like Quan Chi and others. That and Liu being an evil dictator lol.

ULTIMATEbudokai3 In reply to SMXV2 [2017-05-18 16:30:08 +0000 UTC]

Yea you can look at it like your mafia analogy.

EGs are the US government(of sorts, all corrupt and stuff), and the villains are the mobsters and sometimes they make deals only when the EGs benefit from it.

These EGs are more involved in mortal affairs than they need to be. They abuse their powers...at least THESE particular EGs do...but they aren't the 'Original' EGs of MKU2.... 0.0

I really would like to develop MKU2 alot more and it was to start with my incomplete fanfic "MK: The Fall" but I don't have time to really write up any fanfics these days.
I can barely get Parallel done and I started that almost 4 years ago. lol




As for the MKU3, I did not plan on going into that universe much. But its basically a mixture of events from both MKU2 and U1.
and it eventually leads to Liu being Evil and the new dragon king post "MK Deception" era. I had planned on going into that more in some dialogue of parallel. So if I ever finish it, keep an eye out for some of those details...if i ever get to it.

That really clears up everything regarding MKU2 EG's. Defiantly makes for some interesting scenarios. I guess these new EG's killed the original EG's of MKU2 and took over their positions.

MKU3 definitely sounded like a slightly altered version of MKU1 to me when I first read it. Liu mentions many villains like Kahn, Onaga, and Blaze as the ones they beat so I figured that this would essentially be MKU1 where the good guys win Armageddon and then Liu and his allies take Outworld to use to protect Earthrealm, which ultimately corrupts the heroes.

Also is Raiden dead in MKU2? He seems to be totally absent in the story when in MKU1 he came back to life as Corrupted Raiden.

For sure.

The way it was worded made me think that Raiden didn't come back to life after he did the suicide blast against Onaga. I guess Liu was really pissed at Corrupted Raiden lol. Makes me think how you could kill an Elder God though.

Also i'm curious to know more about Sektor and Mileena in this timeline because both their personalities differ so much from MKU1. I'm guessing Sektor essentially swapped personalities with Cyrax in this timeline? As for Mileena my headcanon for her is that Shang Tsung's sorcery failed to create her the way Shao Kahn wanted it to go so instead of being an evil, vicious clone of Kitana she became good-natured instead and helped her sister rebel against Kahn.

Dunno why but I envision Kurtis Stryker being evil in MKU2. Maybe a corrupted police officer who's a sociopath of sorts and enjoys inflicting pain on others. I even imagined him being aligned with Hotaru for some reason.

And here I go with this tangent lol. Ya got me hooked on the lore buddy.

Oh yeah. I had almost forgotten how much of an asshole Corrupted Raiden was lol. How he essentially tried to kill Shujinko for something he had no idea he was doing and after he beat Onaga. Speaking of Shujinko does he exist in this timeline? Liu was the one to kill Onaga in MKU2 so maybe Corrupted Raiden ended up killing him after all?

It was an idea I had for Stryker. A radical departure from his MKU1 self I know lol.

Also I guess Armageddon doesn't happen in this timeline correct? Reason being is that all the bad guys are dead for the most part with the exception of Quan/Tanya. Even if there was an event like that in this timeline the bad guys would get their asses kicked badly lol.

I knew you'd ask about shujinko, lol

Since I don't know when or IF I will ever get to that part of the MKU2 lore, Ill just go ahead and tell you, Yes, I had planned on Shujinko being killed by Raiden, so it would have gave Liu more reason to end Corrupted Raiden.

As for Onaga's defeat, it wasnt just Liu, He reluctantly teamed up with Quan Chi to beat Onaga.
In this universe, Quan chi is more of Liu Kang's Arch nemesis than Shang Tsung.

Yea, the Armageddon that we know from MKU1 would not have happened, but the next story arc after Parallel would have been just as interesting...but of course, I don't plan on doing the fic unless enough people get interested from Parallel.

I had the whole MKU2 lore planned out, but just never got to making the Fanfics... partly due to not enough interest in Parallel from the public.

Because I recall from MKU1's Deadly Alliance all the good guys were killed by the Deadly Alliance and were brought back to life by Onaga and subsequently freed by Ermac/Ghost Liu.

That's interesting. Dunno how you could top something as apocalyptic as Armageddon though lol.

I see. It's interesting to think how Deadly Alliance and Deception arcs of MK would go down in MKU2. Considering at that point of time the cast of characters are very different from MKU1. I recall in MKU1 when the heroes attacked the Deadly Alliance it was only Kung Lao and Kitana to fight Shang and Quan as well as Johnny, Sonya, and Jax to fight the Tarkatan hordes. In this universe I would guess that there's a lot more heroes then they were in MKU1 to challenge the Deadly Alliance with the addition of Sektor/Mileena/Frost though Kung Lao & Sonya would be dead and Johnny gave up fighting.

Also how exactly did Liu become MK Champion in this universe? Technically speaking Goro never lost his title since he beat Kung Lao.

I know i've been asking you a million questions as of late and shit but I just have a couple of questions I thought of recently about MKU2. Promise that these will be the last questions lol.

1. What's the human population like in Earthrealm in MKU2? I can't imagine it being more than like 100 Million given Kahn exterminated most of the humans on the planet.

2. How exactly is Quan Chi supposed to look like in this story? I know you mentioned him being a pale, old sorcerer but i'm having a hard time picturing that in my head. Like paler than his MKU1 counterpart? And somehow when you mentioned older the first thing that came to mind was Uncle Fester lol. Maybe a comparison to another fictional character would help me visualize better.

3. How are Shang, Kahn, Shinnok, and Onaga different from there MKU1 counterparts in terms of personality and physical appearance?

4. Is Kai dead in the story? I would guess he is given he's not part of the crew but maybe there's a chance he's still alive.

ULTIMATEbudokai3 In reply to SMXV2 [2017-05-27 08:44:49 +0000 UTC]

Go ahead and ask away.

1. Not sure really but im sure everyone will be back. Im MK3 Kahn took everyone's soul when he invaded except chosen warriors. But as you saw, everything was back to normal by the time MK4 happened. So most likely that would have been that case here. And in the MKU1, The Gov't gave permission for Sonya and Jax to create OIA...so yea it probably back to normal for the most part.

2. Okay, picture the old vampire elder in Blade 2. The villain and that lady vampire's father, in some Quan Chi getup, LOL

3. Either he died during the original earthrealm merger and purge, or he is a young kid during MK4 era... Either way he does not really hold any significance in MKU2.

SMXV2 In reply to ULTIMATEbudokai3 [2017-05-27 17:46:38 +0000 UTC]

1. I thought he outright killed them? I was under the impression that during his first conquest he sought to just kill most of the humans and during his second invasion (the MK3 time period) he took the souls of the humans to make sure the rebellion couldn't beat him that time.

2. Hah! Now I can defiantly visualize how he looks in this alternate universe. He must look a lot more evil and sinister in MKU2 than he does in MKU1. Still like to envision Uncle Fester Quan Chi in my head though lol.

3. Speaking of which since you mentioned MK4. Does Shinnok's invasion take place in just Earthrealm or both Earthrealm and Outworld? There's no Edenia in MKU2 so that must have changed a lot of things in this alternate universe. I wonder if Tanya helps Shinnok escape from the Netherrealm like she does in MKU1.

I also envision Shinnok looking like his alternate costume from MK4 in MKU2. (see link below)

1. In MKU2, Kahn only had one invasion. Like I said before, Outworld WON the 10th tourney in MKU2. So Kahn had proper means to merge Earth with it. True, alot of the humans did die, but alot were used to improve on Outworld Technology.

The rebels formed camps around Outworld, There were ALOT of rebels too.

2. Yea he looks like that old vamp guy...more or less. We had an old shang, but in MKU2 there's an old Quan Chi.

3. Just Earthrealm. Basically he tried to take it, like he originally tried when he fought Raiden.

Actually, I like his MKX costume, so it may look more or less like that one.

In Chp 3. It's mentioned that Shao Kahn tried to invade Earth again after Liu beat Kahn to free Earthrealm from Outworld's grasp.

"Shao Kahn tried once again to invade Earth, and I found myself teaming up with her and my old allies from the resistance to defeat him...but this time would be the last"

From that statement I assumed Kahn tried to do what he did in MK3 and forcefully tried to take Earthrealm after Liu successfully beat him.

And as for the humans I always imagined that the Earth population would massively decrease due to Kahn killing most of them. Guess not.

Unrelated but it would be cool if MKU2 Raiden was more like his portrayal in the 1995 MK movie, all witty and sarcastic though still stern and vigilant.

Right so, It goes like this:

MK1 era - Outworld defeated Earthrealm in MK tourney(with Lao, Cage and Sonya). Only one who dies though is Lao. Thus, Outworld and Earth merge.(THAT is kahn's FIRST takeover/invasion) buts its legitimate.

MK2 era - Rebels(liu, sonya, cage, a few others maybe stryker) spend their years in outworld fighting off the outworld vilains that want them dead. Eventually Liu challenges Kahn and his warriors to MK to reclaim earth and they win earth back. So earth is "de merged"(if thats a word) and returned back to normal.

MK3 era - This enrages Kahn and he retaliates a year later by doing just an all out invasion on Earth. Eventually Liu and Kahn cross paths again and Liu Kills Kahn this time.

So it is sorta like how I imagined it. MKU2 Liu had the common sense to kill off Kahn when he had the chance whereas MKU1 Liu didn't bother finishing Kahn off. And we know how that worked out for MKU1 haha.

Speaking of which MKU2 seems like a much brighter, happier universe than MKU1 despite guys like Kung Lao and Sonya being dead. Most of the bad guys in this universe are dead and some characters who were evil in MKU1 are good now in this universe. There's also the fact that Armageddon has virtually no chance of happening in this universe.

Oh no... MKU2 is darker than MKU1 or maybe about the same in certain aspects. But its no sunshine and rainbows.
Most of it is taking place in a gloomy Outworld or a merged post apocalyptic Earthrealm/Outworld.

I always thought that a flaw with MK was that it never had a chance to expand and introduce more(when it needed to) because they kept on bringing old stuff back and not putting enough effort in the new stuff. Thats what MKX was suppose to be for(tho I did not care for MKX story much at all)

I don't wanna keep seeing Kahn, goro, shang and quan chi coming back by some BS plot devices. Leave them dead and introduce NEW villains.

Thats what I was gonna bring into my MKU2 fanfics alittle. Once someone is dead, MOST times in MKU2 they STAY dead...some may come back but, most people whose died, have stayed dead unless plot demands them to return somehow.

SMXV2 In reply to ULTIMATEbudokai3 [2017-05-30 03:50:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know a lot of dark shit happens in that universe with the good guys losing the Mortal Kombat tournament, Kung Lao/Sonya/Raiden being dead, Elder Gods being dicks, Edenia not being free from Outworld, Earthrealm briefly being taken over by Outworld, and Outworld having all the technological shit thanks to Kahn's invasion but when I compare it to MKU1 it seems like a much better place overall. At least by the time Parallel happens anyways. Especially when you consider the things it has over MKU1.

- Armageddon not happening
- Most bad guys being dead
- No Tekunin due to Sektor being Good
- No hatred between Sub-Zero/Scorpion and Kitana/Mileena
- Some evil guys from MKU1 being good in MKU2 like Sektor, Mileena, and Frost
- Major threats in Kahn, Shinnok, Shang, and Onaga being removed. Doubt Quan is going to survive Parallel either lol
- Black/Red Dragon clans being fully wiped out?

All in all i'd say MKU2 has it much better than MKU1. Earthrealm being taken over by Outworld briefly is only a small price to pay in comparison to MKU1 that has everyone die at the end.

And yes I agree that villains in MK need to stay dead. At least the major ones. It got ridiculous how many times Kahn kept coming back in the Original Timeline. Came back after Liu beat him in the Outworld Tournament, survived his battle with Liu on Earth for reasons I have no idea (seriously how did Liu let him off like that?), faked his death by letting his clone be killed by Shang/Quan, and survives his little battle with Onaga at the Pyramid only to prevail in the end.

Not to mention how many times Liu lets Shang off the hook as well lol. Liu had 3 times to kill the SOB's ass and yet he kept choosing to show mercy to him. You'd think that after Shang helped attack the Shaolin temples Liu would be more eager to kill him but I guess not. Turned out poorly for him.

-Scorpion and Sub Zero had their blood rivalry, but like in MKX,(except its Bi Han in this case) they patched things up. They are not buddies, but they have a mutual respect and they fight on the same side.

-No kitana and mileena hatred, just Kitana and Jade hatred. Jade swapped with Mileena.

-We don't know if Armageddon happens or not as we are not on that era of the MKU2 yet, but it definitely will not be like MKU1's...doesnt mean it wont be just as bad though.

Yeah I figured they patched things up.

To be fair though whatever disdain Kitana and Jade have for each other in MKU2 is not comparable to the hatred Mileena has for Kitana in MKU1. I mean seriously you can't compare Mileena's desire to kill Kitana and take her place as Princess of Edenia in MKU1 to Kitana and Jade bickering back and forth between each other and maybe scrapping at best lol.

Well. Here's hoping the heroes don't get screwed in the end lol.

I know it was Mavado who killed Sektor. That's what you outright said in the story no? Besides Mavado was from MKU3. Though it is intriguing to know that the Red Dragon still exists in this universe.

Going back to what you were saying about the Elder Gods in MKU2 and stuff it got me wondering. What could Quan, Shang, and all the other guys possibly give to the EG's that would make them want to help them? It's really confusing to me lol.

ULTIMATEbudokai3 In reply to SMXV2 [2017-05-31 22:19:37 +0000 UTC]

In a way, it was gonna be comparable but ALOT deeper than just simply hating each other wanting to claw each other to shreds. The KvM rivalry is too 1 dimensional.

Thats what was gonna be delved into during the fanfic of MKU2. Right now, its bickering because this is AFTER the storm, the same with Scorpion and Sub Zero. But before that, it was ALOT worse. You must remember that these women(Kitana, Jade AND Tanya) have lived over 10,000 years...thats ALOT of time for drama.

And in the NEW canon of MK, Mileena's hatred for Kitana is a VERY small percentage of that 10,000 year time.
In MK(2011) Mileena was born during the events of MK2...she really didnt have enough time between then and Kitana dying to really form a severe hatred for Kitana. Though she did hate her, the rivalry wasn't developed enough.

In the original canon, Its more developed but still 1 dimensional, Imo.

I planned on having a rivalry develop...like the rivalries of Goku and Vegeta, or Crixus and Spartacus. Those rivalries started out as one side absolutely hating the other and wanting to kill, then it got better overtime, then there was that mutual respect near the end... Thats where Kitana and Jade are headed now. They STARted out as friends though...to add even more depth to the bitter rivalry and the hate and eventual reconciliation.

Well, its not really about what shang and them can give the EGs. Its about what the EGs want and are willing to conspire to meet their mysterious and partly corrupt desires...

Yeah as a Mileena fan the Kitana/Mileena rivalry always bugged me because Mileena would more or less job out to Kitana all the time other than Shaolin Monks which isn't even canon. Mileena is so obsessed with Kitana but Kitana doesn't give 2 shits about her lol. I always sympathized with Mileena in the Original Timeline. Sucks that Kahn had her made and was all like "you spend the rest of your life making sure this chick doesn't betray me" lol. Top that off with Kahn deliberately favoring Kitana and it's a shitty life for Mileena. Kahn honestly doesn't care about her which makes it worse. Poor Mily.

The new timeline sorta muddies the whole thing because the two didn't grow up together and with Kahn outright throwing Kitana away for Mileena there's no reason why Mileena would want to hate Kitana. Hell other than their little scuffle there's no interactions between the two and honestly Mileena isn't obsessed about her the way she was in the Original Timeline. I like that particular aspect because it shows Mileena's character has evolved from being a foil to Kitana and that she could exist without her.

I see. Looks like MKU2's Kitana and Jade hated each other the way Kitana and Mileena did in MKU1. Kitana must have done something really bad to piss of Jade lol. I also recall something being mentioned about Jade betraying the good guys at one point so it seems like Jade is more darker than she is in MKU1. Being more rude and arrogant all in all.

Damn. That sounds really confusing lol. Dunno why the EG's would even want to help Shang and them. Do the villains go up to the EG's and ask them for favors? That's how I envisioned it in my head, That Quan would tell them why helping him would benefit their plans to get them to work with him.

The EGs are still neutral at the end of the day.
They are just corrupt and will do what they must to see their goals.
Its like they are ALL 'shinnok', but not AS bad.

I wonder what these "goals" could be. Sounds very intriguing. Like what could the EG's possibly want and stuff. Stuff you probably can't answer right now I would imagine lol.

Unrelated but I also really love your MK: The Fall story. Seeing the events of the MK games retold with characters, scenarios, and events changed is really interesting to see. If you ever do get the chance to do that again it would be very interesting to see how Kung Lao loses to Goro and Raiden & co's reaction to said event happening. Also seeing Shang delivering the "good news" to Kahn and Kahn's subsequent conquest of Earthrealm. Would be interesting to see just how exactly Kahn and his forces are able to topple the governments of the world with their technology and military might.

Also would be interesting to have another couple of stories based on the other MK games like maybe a story called MK: The Rise based on Kahn's takeover of Earthrealm and the subsequent formation of the Earthrealm Resistance. If you ever have the time to do that of course.

I doubt ANY of that will be happening, lol So don't get your hopes up man.

I can barely complete Parallel, nevermind start a new fanfic.

I had a plan for ALL of that stuff but, its all but dead now.
