Ikran's Side Mortal Kombat Stories

This was just a series of oneshots written by TheIkranRider that didn't belong in the main stories in her MK Khronology. She had a hard time jotting down her random ideas, constantly going thru fatigue, loss of inspiration/motivation, working on countdowns, etc. She had done something similar with her deleted scenes from the F-Zero series.
== Con't I ==
It was during one of Aiko's early days after moving into China. Her job was to disable the hearts of fish from the Yellow River assisting the Shaolin and Liu Kang, since it was a hobby to the latter. She was just fatigued from her overexertion on shutting down a tuna's heart and it was on a Sunday! She'd hear hymns from the Order of Light on the Lord and Jesus, making her irritable. During her break, she stormed toward her dorm in the Wu Shi Academy, though she abruptly stopped as she watched Liu Kang and Kung Lao spar each other, with Raiden as the coach. She made a slight curtsy as they bowed before she left.
Moments later, she was greeted by a white light and soon enough it was him. He wondered if something was on her mind, and Aiko stated she wished there were more praises to him than the usual customs she was too familiar with in America. He replied there were but mostly in Mandarin, and not many were done in American English. Aiko wondered if Jesus was either real or just an urban legend, to which Raiden confirmed He did exist; from 4 BC to 32 AD, He was then crucified, though Raiden did train him from time to time, even straying Him away from evil intentions. The Elder Gods blessed Mary and Joseph during the fall. Aiko then suggested to offer Raiden his own theme song, which could be more special than the usual offerings of gold or gems. She first played a mixtape with the oldie, Lightning Strikes, but since it was about a couple in conflict with their biological urges, it was rejected. She then inserted a CD-R and at one of the middle tracks, it played Heaven is a Place on Earth, which was a more suitable choice! Aiko was excited and she then decided to offer more music for Raiden and Fujin, then soon to Ashrah, Taven, Kitana, Fire God Liu Kang and more each Sunday!
== Con't II ==
This was actually during Chinese Valentine's Day, taking place during the "seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar," contrary to February 14th in America! Aiko grew frustrated as she needed a calendar considering the lunar holidays changed so often. Raiden decreed everyone who as a significant other can take a break from training, in which the majority do, even Liu Kang who decided to visit Kitana in Edenia still under construction from Kahn's regime, and Aiko'd hang out with Kung Lao who's been busy with the White Lotus. Before she did, she wondered if the Pantheon had any loved ones, even Raiden since there was no one beside him. Raiden affirmed there was the Water Goddess, Suijin, and another Thunder God, Riuky. All four Gods were battling Shinnok in the heavens with all their strength and abilities, but all was in vain since the dark Elder God mimicked Suijin's cryokinesis, froze and shattered her! While Riuky was impaled then sliced vertically by Shinnoks Staff! Raiden stated the fallen God was the latter churning into an asteroid which struck Earthrealm and Raiden was forced to evacuate the Saurians to Zaterra. The Thunder God missed Suijin, who became fascinated with Earthrealm as the gem of the cosmos and so full of life. Even when the Gods, and Fujin, recovered after the bloodthirsty Bi-Han defeated them, the Pantheon declined as Shinnok made his return. Raiden was still thankful that he, Fujin, and their new addition, Ashrah, came to be.
Meanwhile, Fire God Liu Kang watched thru the Hourglass then sulked... Titan Kitana greeted him and assured that what's been done was a crucial part in Earth's history, and that not everything should be changed by them. He stated it kickstarted Earth's evolution thru natural selection, though he still wished he could have saved the Gods from their demise. He wished to protect his loved ones indirectly even if there should be another Armageddon. Kitana hoped things won't take a turn for the worst before she kissed him, and the Fire God was still despondent on what they would become recollecting their dystopian future...
== Trivia ==
* Just like in her "deleted" F-Zero scenes, the same applies here as extra bonus content that while they don't fit in with the main stories, they're still significant. This series can even be larger than her F-Zero side stories too.
* While Suijin was made in a MK Mugen game, it was the sprite animation, MK: Reconciliation, that kickstarted her and Riuky; since Ikran saw the War of the Gods, she decided for her to be a lover to Raiden rather than a sibling.
* At first, Ikran wanted another pet for the Kung family and as the white rabbit's companion. Unfortunately, the first idea was a ferret, based on Ikran always losing them in the past, but they're known to hunt and harm rabbits despite both being rodents though they never get along. Another idea was a tanuki; however, they're illegal to own, carry various diseases including rabies, they have wild impulses even while being raised early and are harmful to fauna.
