This was just a oneshot consisting some of TheIkranRider's random ideas involving Liu and Kitana's journeys while reconstructing time. This takes elements from not only her last epic, Final Kombat, but also from Mortal Kombat 11 and Aftermath!

Several weeks after Armageddon, Aiko and Kung Lao were still mourning over Liu's and Raiden's sacrifices. The reformed Shaolin monk actually left to go thru personal mindful training as he reinstated to the Order of Light. She was in their shared bedchamber when a red rip appeared! Recognizing the crimson orb, she began to connect the dots, even after she saw the snout of a dragon peek out! She followed it thru and wound up on Yin Yang Island! She was astonished to return there, and she knew it was Caro whom she hadn't seen in so long! Unfortunately, a storm began to pick up and she was desperate to find shelter! She spotted the nearby cave and went straight to it, never caring what was occupying it! She was relieved by the warmth and the exotic draconlike decor, and sure enough, it was Caro! They reunited and made herself at home.
She was amazed on how the cavern was renovated, that the trio developed it, ever since Armageddon was over. Although Caro had been lonesome on the island these past several weeks.
Caro highlighted to Aiko of Liu's victory over Kronika in the Prehistoric age and began to revamp time after he found Kitana as she was labeled as the new Kahn of Outworld. He convinced her that this isn't who she is, especially not developing her home realm, Edenia. He stated that he already defeated Kronika and needed a partner for the eons... As Liu noticed Kotal still injured beside Jade, he recuperated him with his Jinsei, they soon agreed that the Osh-Tekk with Jade shall take over while reuniting the Shokan and Tarkatan. Although, Liu had to return to the dawn of time to sculpt the sands, taking in Raiden's advice.
Pining for her, he awaited near the Hourglass, until his hand was delicately held by her. She stated she was ready to reset time, and no matter how the sands are sculpted, they can't plan for every possibility, as mortals will make their own choices, new evils will arise, and Liu mentioned each realm must choose their own destiny and they'd face them together. He sped up time to create the realms and be reunited with Raiden, until they'd been interrupted by Shang, Nightwolf and Fujin! They coaxed they must find Kronika's crown before he should craft his New Era otherwise all existence would be lost.
He decided to stay close with Kitana near the Hourglass, while the tragic events unfolded as they watched their friends being slaughtered by Shang, Kahn, or their followers. Liu then shown up at the nick of time at Kronika's Keep while Shang retrieved the Krown and was about to activate the Hourglass. It was a tumultuous battle, but Liu managed to emerge victorious; he absorbed energy from the Hourglass and fired to Shang, eradicating him and snatching the Krown. He then reset time, where Kitana awaited him, but...he began to weaken after that stunt. He made a plea to her that she must awaken him once the realms are created,...
The next thing he knew, he came to in a bedchamber and saw Kitana over him. They were in Edenia, after she wore the Krown and expedited time to save him, since Earthrealm wasn't fully developed yet thus no Jinsei. He was thankful on Kitana's hasty decision, and he became attached to her people; his strength regenerated progressively, although he needed to defend the realm from Outworld and Kahn! He assisted Taven, Daegon, the dragons, Argus and Delia against his forces and won the first Mortal Kombat! Argus was impressed and he escorted Liu to stand before the Elder Gods! They congratulated him and offered his request on making Kitana a goddess without death! Since then, and when peace reigned supreme, they officially tied the knot! Soon after, Liu...had a hunch returning to the dawn of time when they first started, and without the Elder Gods and Titans watching, they became intimate.
Unfortunately, the euphoria was short-lived. Confident, Liu expedited time straight to 1492 when he trained the Great Kung Lao! He was able to defeat Shang, then Goro after 50 years, but...he succumbed to his injuries and passed. Liu was devastated losing his prodigy, and he made the heart-wrenching decision to undo all of history... Since Raiden never existed upon Liu's occurences in the timeline, he hid himself and Kitana away as he fast-forwarded to the original modern tournament... When Shang's Isle collapsed, they made their home in Yin Yang Island. Seeing his promising younger self, he disguised himself and only watched thru history till Armageddon. At one point, Liu witnessed Aiko's growth, thus it toggled his mind of the Revenant invasion in her dystopian future, then escorted her into the past. Baraka had the same fate later...
By the time Blaze had been decimated along with his younger self, Liu and Kitana bestowed Caro as the new Keeper of Time and guardian of the Hourglass, even churning to his Dragon during vigorous training. He even staunched Caro's aging before he and Kitana settled in Edenia for several weeks!
It turned out Kitana is with child! He stayed with her throughout the duration till she delivered their son, Cheung Kang!! After several hours of rest, they returned, and the couple introduced him to Aiko and Caro! She gifted him a heart gem, and he honored Caro as his own dragon guardian! Liu had never been this content since their union!
Moments later, as she saw Kung Lao emerge from the Temple of Light, she gave him the astonishing news!

== Trivia ==
* thumbThis was just a oneshot consisting of some random ideas concerning Fire God Liu Kang and Kitana.
* She always wanted the perfect ending of MK11 to be canon, even for Aftermath and MK1.
* Ever since she grew up with the Threshold media by the age of 8, she always supported Liutana! Even when they became Emperors of the Netherrealm, or in Liu's tragic ladder ending in MK11, she always supported them to be together.
* John Tobias had the idea on them baring a son before he left Midway; that was one of his ideas for MK Vengeance which later became Deadly Alliance, and ever since the trainwreck known as Special Forces, the idea had been scrapped ever since...
** His favorite character happened to be Liu Kang!
*Ikran drew a little inspiration from that unknown plane between realms when she saw the Keepers of Time trailer for MK1 featuring Liu Kang and Geras. Due to bad first impressions, she left the title for Caro instead as well as being Cheung's guardian!
*Cheung was a Chinese merged surname, though she did find it in a fanmake on DeviantArt, not entirely like the village in Hong Kong. But due to the Mandala Effect, it was just a variation of one of her friend's OCs, the son of Liu Kang and Sonya Blade as Liu Keung.
