**Ronin Kenshin: Thanks.**

**The Fall of an Empire.**

Liberating Edenia was extremely easy with Sindel, Kitana, and Jade using their influence and status. Harry only had too engage in a few battles and fights... Tarkata and Centaurians were all exiled back to Outworld proper and Edenia was unmerged from Outworld. Tanya, a known traitor to Edenia was slain by Harry, who absorbed her soul and took blood samples. Rain, another traitor, suffered the worst beating of his near immortal existence and had his soul absorbed too. Harry gained immense power in Edenia, improving his power over water, fire, weather, and fighting ability.

Edenia was fortified with greater wards and everyone who died in service to it would add their power to a form of sacrificial protection.

Despite all of the amazing sex with Sindel, Harry left Edenia too continue dismantling Shao Kahn's empire. Harry would miss Sindel, he already knew her so well that it was scary and instinctively knew how to give her immense pleasure. Harry was sorely tempted too pursue a relationship with her, but he trusted his instincts and had decided against it.

Outworld proved to be more challenging and required some political maneuvering... as such Harry decided too approach Kotal Kahn, the usurper of Shao Kahn's throne.

Harry opted for a mild demonstration to Kotal that showed how vulnerable he was to assassination by simply appearing in his throne room.

Defeating his guards and forcing him down onto his throne was a simple matter at Harry's level of power and skill.

"An assassin sent by Mileena, I presume?" Kotal asked, resisting the pressure forcing him into his seat.

"No. Quite the opposite actually. I'd like too capture her so that you can publicly execute her, win your war for the throne, and provide Outworld with peace and stability." Harry said.

"What is it that you want in return?"

"Quite simple. If Outworld loses enough Mortal Kombat's then it and all those absorbed by it will then be konquered in one act. Someone exploiting Shao Kahn's work can easily continue where he left off and can endanger the many realms." Harry explained, annoying Kotal. "I will win your war for you and I will give you Mileena, but in return you will cede all of the realms but Outworld and Osh-Tekk and unite with Earthrealm, Edenia, and any other realms against common enemies. Naturally any agreement will be magically binding and breaking it will therefore be fatal."

"You ask too much for too little in return," Kotal replied. "I would be seen as weak."

"Tell them its part of a greater plan for prosperity and peace and that the other realms were on the verge of uniting against you. Its happening either way. I'm simply offering you a chance at peace, prosperity, and an additional realm too rule while building up alliances too kombat the next big threat. Edenia has already been unmerged from Outworld and was fortified. Jade speaks highly of you by the way." Harry said, and Kotal was angry about the unfavorable circumstances but he softened some at the mention of Jade's name.

"What threat is it that you have in mind?" Kotal asked. "No one invests such effort on a mere suspicion of a threat."

"Shinnok tried escaping years ago with backing from pawns in the Netherrealm and Quan Chi suggested that Shao Kahn try merging Earth without having won ten Mortal Kombat tournaments. He's active and has supporters so I'm not going too make easy for him if he makes his move as expected." Harry replied.

Kotal sighed after briefly thinking over it.

"I will agree to your terms, but I want the Arnyek Islands also."

"D'Vorah only cares for the Hive and would betray you to someone stronger," Harry pointed out.

"Then it is good that I have you for an ally then," Kotal replied.

"Good enough," Harry agreed.

They began signing the contracts between them, contracts that obligated Kotal too agree with an alliance between Earthrealm, Edenia, Outworld, and other realms brought into the fold. Kotal signed his contract in blood, but Harry used blood from an animal as a precaution.

With an agreement reached, Harry and Kotal began their war against Mileena and Reiko... Harry used the blood previously taken from Mileena too track her down. After that it was a simple matter of destroying her support base by purging the Tarkata and Shokan, which was more of a challenge then catching Mileena.

Harry also met a very lovely lady named Skarlet and seduced her while fighting and ended up leaving there with a very attractive woman on his arm. Harry was thrilled to be immune to her blood magic, naturally, but he channeled his power into her via sex magic through his seed. They had a lot of fun slaughtering Shao Kahn's supporters with Skarlet getting more power than she had ever dreamed of.

Harry had also acquired the Kamidogu's for Outworld and Chaosrealm and had sealed them away so that only he could use them.

Between that and having continued imbuing gems with life-force, magic, soul energy, and knowledge from his many slain enemies Harry was quite pleased with his amassed power.

Zaterra was unmerged from Outworld along with the other realms and soon only Vaeternus remained...

Harry ended up going skinny dipping in lava for that, but he was unharmed and Nitara unmerged Vaeternus from Outworld without so much as thanking him, which Harry found extremely rude.

After visiting Edenia to check on all of them and politely refusing Sindel's offer of being her consort again; reminding her that she only wanted a lover, Harry returned to Earth after having a threesome with Sindel and Skarlet.

Lord Raiden arrived in a flash of lightning.

"Welcome back to Earthrealm, Hadrian," Raiden said.

"It's good to be back, Lord Raiden," Harry returned.

"The Elder Gods have informed me of your successes in countering the potential threats of Shinnok and Quan Chi. The alliances that you have formed should secure Earthrealm for millennia." Raiden said, proving that the Elder Gods were stalking Harry.

"The results aren't as great as I'd hoped for, but I'll agree they're still impressive. Outworld, Osh-Tekk, and the Arnyek Islands will aid us against common threats under Kotal Kahn's leadership. Edenia will aid us and Vaeternus is open to the option of an alliance against common enemies and threats, but that will need to be negotiated with them." Harry replied. "By the way, this is my girlfriend Skarlet."

"Nice to meet you, Skarlet," Raiden said.

"Likewise," Skarlet returned, but she was surprised to actually be welcomed there.

"We do need to schedule a meeting between the White Lotus Society, Order of Light, Shaolin Monks, and the Special Forces. They need to be updated and involved in any future negotiations and I still need to take the Special Forces on a salvage trip to my Earth, which also needs to be scheduled." Harry said and Raiden agreed.

"I assumed that you would want to rest some first," Raiden commented.

"I'll mostly be a tour guide there and I also have my castle which is fit for royalty... literally, my ancestor was a Queen," Harry replied. "Besides, I can always take a vacation afterward."

"Very well," Raiden replied. "I will contact them all and arrange for a meeting. I'll also gather Earthrealms other defenders... perhaps they can be of help to the Special Forces and yourself."

"Some of them might join the SF," Harry agreed.

Raiden departed to contact everyone and schedule the meeting.

**One week later...**

The meeting was set up sooner than expected and given that Harry was central to it, he would speak first. After all the greetings and introductions were gotten out of the way, Harry got started.

"Okay, first let me state that if any of you are nervous then just imagine me in my underwear..." Harry began, amusing several people. "Ladies, you're welcome. Guys, you have a new goal to aspire too." That got some real laughter. "Okay, now that everybody has loosened up, I'll begin."

"As you all know Earth, commonly known as Earthrealm to those of the other realms, was invaded by Shao Kahn and his armies and after a lengthy battle, great sacrifice, and immense bravery being shown we all triumphed and kicked their collective asses and sent the survivors, of which there were few, all fleeing back to their homes." Harry said, impressing everyone with his oratory skills. "But Shao Kahn's own multi-realm empire was still in one piece and there was a power vacuum just waiting to be filled by another tyrant. With that in mind I first traveled to Edenia with their surviving royal family and drove Shao Kahn's force from the realm and unmerged it first."

"On Outworld itself I worked with Kotal Kahn, an honorable warrior who was spoken highly of by several people and together we captured the genetic experiment Mileena and her general Reiko, with Mileena being publicly executed and Kotal Kahn pledging to aid Earth or Earthrealm and Edenia against any common enemies. Kotal Kahn was entrusted with dominion of Outworld, Osh-Tekk; his original home realm before people were targeted for genocide, and the Arnyek Islands. This agreement was sealed in a magically binding contract, using our respect bloods, and the penalty for breaking it is death." Harry said, surprising everyone. "Any questions?"

"Yeah," Sonya said, standing up. "Why the hell would you sign a contract that could kill you?"

"I fully intend to aid Outworld, even if I'm alone. I'm the bound party and I'm expected to convince you all to agree. Keep in mind that this is for common enemies. If the enemy states or is blatant in their intent then I'm obligated to help defend our new allies. And since my power and skill has only grown, Kotal didn't have an issue with me being the sole guaranteed ally." Harry replied, satisfying Sonya and Special Forces with his answer.

"Any other questions?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. Where'd you find the sexy redhead?" Johnny Cage asked.

"Outworld," Harry replied. "She tried killing me for the bounty, couldn't injure me, and I convinced her to just join me instead... we killed thousands and then had sex for hours surrounded by the mangled bodies of our enemies. Before you disrupt us further, Johnny. Yes, it was awesome. No, I didn't use protection because I'm immune to disease and I can render myself temporarily sterile."

"Are you gonna be a daddy?" Johnny asked teasingly.

"I've fathered twelve children before coming to this Earth and they're all smarter than you," Harry quipped, amusing most of the room. "Are you done, kiddo? Or do we need to send you out of the room with some crackers and a juice box?" More laughter.

Johnny remained silent after a glare from Sonya.

"It's also my duty to inform, or remind you in some cases, that Vampires; also called the Moroi are real and open to negotiations for an alliance. I had to go skinny dipping in lava to unmerge Vaeternus, their realm, from Outworld so I'm somewhat optimistic."

"The Special Forces has been expanded to include all of Earth and we can guard diplomats during the talks," Jax said.

"I'm also here to schedule the salvage trip to my home Earth... keep in mind that I'll also be limited by the number of times that I can travel between universes. One trip per week, one way, and contact will be impossible." Harry added.

"Why will it be impossible?" Sonya asked.

"Think of each universe as an egg, it takes a lot of energy to crack that shell, but I'll technically be cracking two of them. It would logically take multiple nuclear reactors to power communications on each side and all of the reactors were deactivated on my home Earth. There is also the possibility of weakening the barriers between the two universes and allowing spill-over from conflicts and that's why I'd really like to only make one trip." Harry replied.

"One trip won't be enough to loot technology on the scale you spoke of," Jax pointed out.

"I can manipulate reality... I can allow you too store entire nuclear arsenals in one suitcase. Tanks, planes, ships, advanced body armor, and other tech can be stored in magically reinforced and expanded trunks and then transported between the universes. Simply preparing crates, trunks, and cases will allow for an assessment of what all can be transported... I'll cast the necessary spells on them all." Harry replied, going into a brief explanation about how it would be enough.

"Okay, that should work then," Jax agreed. "If you're done with your report we can begin deciding who will be going."

"I'm done," Harry added in reply.

"I'd like to volunteer to lead the salvage trip," Sonya said.

"I wanna go too," Johnny said.

"Way to play it cool, JC," Harry mocked, amusing several people. "Oh, Sonya's going? I'll tag along and make it a romantic getaway for us!" Harry added mockingly, causing a lot of laughter with his Johnny Cage impression.

"We aren't dating," Sonya pointed out, smirking at an annoyed Johnny.

"Seriously? Not even one date?" Sonya nodded no. "I'm clearly going to have to give Johnny some pointers."

"I do fine. I could probably teach you a few things, old man." Johnny replied arrogantly.

"How to get rejected, perhaps," Harry quipped. "I've been with more women than years I have lived and I've filmed most of it. I had an orgy with magical creatures that were sexually insatiable and then I left them all exhausted afterward." Everyone looked confused and kinda grossed out.

"You're bragging about bestiality?" Johnny asked in confusion and disgust.

"Oh no, they were kind of like Succubi; humanoid, gorgeous, preferred to be tired out during sex and they mostly preferred to avoid marital commitment, and they get mildly offended when called human. Thus me referring to them as magical creatures." Harry replied. "Anyway, we're all getting side-tracked. Sonya has volunteered to lead the Special Forces salvage trip, but if I say somethings dangerous; even an innocuous looking plant, then it is dangerous. There are magical plants, animals, some necromancers may have undead thralls hidden in water, and there are tombs that have been heavily warded."

Everyone nodded.

"I will have you living in my castle mostly to avoid any attacks," Harry added.

"Out of curiosity, who or what could attack them?" Jax asked.

"Basically any magical creature that was deemed a myth here, wizards, non-magical humans, criminal outlaws, and the normal animals," Harry replied. "Not all wizards agreed with the near-eradication of non-magicals and were preaching forgiveness, the power of love and friendship, and wanted to pretend that everything was fine. I came here in 1944 so its been a while since I've been back on that Earth."

It was eventually agreed that Sonya would lead about 200 people to the alternate Earth, Johnny, Liu Kang, Skarlet, and, of course, Harry himself would be going too.

"Can Kitana come along?" Liu Kang asked.

"If she wants too, but things are awkward with us because I was banging her sexy mommy," Harry replied. "And her friend Jade... she walked in on me and Jade too. So it'll be really awkward." Liu Kang's eye was twitching. He really didn't like that Kitana had seen Harry naked.

"You should all be warned that Hadrian was a much different person back then and had endured loss that made him do horrible things... you'll learn about his past there," Raiden said in warning... concerning everyone in the room.

"He means I was twisted by rage and killed a bunch of people to end a war," Harry added. "You're still gonna get pranked for revealing that though, Raiden." Harry cast a harmless spell on Raiden for amusement and Raiden's eyes turned pink.

"What did you do to me?" Raiden asked in mild anger.

"Turned your lightning a pink color," Harry replied smirking. "Harmless, but mildly amusing."

"Like you?" Liu Kang asked teasingly.

"No, like your dick," Harry returned, causing laughter and Liu Kang to glare. "You're the one who wanted to get snarky, kid. And after me putting in a good word for you with Kitana's mom. Some friend..." Harry added with false sadness.

With their plans made, the Special Forces began gathering containers to transport technology in, Liu Kang contacted Kitana to invite her to travel to another Earth; Sindel would approve out of curiosity of Harry's past and Jade would be sent with Kitana, Johnny would clear up his schedule to travel, and Harry went to have more sex with Skarlet and would also Charm the containers for the Special Forces.

It was finally time to leave this Earth, but the SF had run into a minor logistics issue. Transporting all of the containers... Harry simply explained that they could store them in other containers. Shrinking them might be too much magic given what would be contained within them.

They were soon ready to go and Harry gathered up his power and opened a large portal for everyone to go through, with everyone running through it...
