I.O.F Prologue

Angst stood on top of his tower and watched the island. After a endless time of planning, he was almost ready to have his twelve guests over. Just a few more things had to be arranged before he could start with his plans.
He watched with a smile as he saw his clone soldiers working to finish the security of his headquarter, the tower. The clones were usefull tools he came across on a world called Kamino. These whiteclad soldiers carried lazerguns and followed every order without question, the best soldiers Angst could wish for because they were the perfect guards for the upcoming tournament. He had been working for this a very long time and had carefully selected every warrior that had been chosen. Soon everyone would know and fear the name of Angst, the mightiest man that has lived.

'Come with me' Angst spoke to five of his soldiers. The men nodded and walked with him untill Angst suddenly halted. He took out a silver dagger with a ruby hilt and and started muttering some incarnations. The dagger started the glow and when it finally gave off a bright light, Angst slashed the air in a downwards movement and ripped the air. After putting the dagger back, Angst walked through the rip he had created.
When he was fully through, Angst stood in a large but empty room. He was joined by his soldiers and took a black sword from his belt. His straight one handed sword gave off the feeling of dispair to anyone who came near it. Angst himself was immune for the effects of his sword, a sword he had carried with him since Angst was a young boy. Behind this door was the final person he needed and when this last pawn was in place, the tournament could begin.
Angst opened the door and as he and his men walked in, he could see six guards in brown robes and strange black and white masks. These guards all had spears in their hands and short curved swords on their backs. A man on a throne sat behind them. This old Asian man had greywhite hair and was wearing a purple robe. 'What is the meaning of this, who are you?' He asked, clearly suprised.
Angst laughed before he spoke. 'My name is Angst and I am a soon to be god. I have uses for you and want you to bow down to me.' The words were spoken without emotion and without any form of doubt but the man on the throne was not impressed easily. 'You fool' Shang Tsung spoke. 'You think you can come here and make demands for me here in my own castle?' Shang Tsung, the sorcerer who served Shao Kahn in Outworld stood up and moved his hands forward. 'Men, attack!' At this, the masked guards slammed the butts of their spears on the ground and walked towards the intruders. 'Fire' Was all Angst said as the opponents were closing in and after that, the clones fired the energy rounds rapidly. All of the guards fell and Shang Tsung stood for the fraction of a second at this brutal assault on his soldiers. He then gestured his hands and spread them outwards. Instantly, a burning skull erupted from each hand and both flew in wide arc to hit the clone soldiers. Shang Tsung then took the oppertunity to transform himself. His hair became black again, his robes turned into a yellow fighting outfit and his body turned into into that of a man in his mid-thirties.
Angst saw the transformation but did not seem to be bothered by it. He merely waved his hands and watched the result.

Shang Tsung has just morphed into his younger self and was now watching this intruder. The man seemed to be in his late-twenties, had a very pale skin, black hair and he sported a small beard. The outworld warrior was not afraid of some idiot with goons, he had faced gods and other very powerfull beings before and this person would not be any different. Shang Tsung formed another burning skull but before he could use it, another person appeared on the place this intruder stood. To the great suprise of Shang Tsung, he saw himself, or at least his body. Some fear shot through him as he saw his dead and half decayed body standing before him like a strange mirror. Tsung had worked a very long time to survive and to become immortal. He could not believe that his death was possible. Fear took the great sorcerer and he fired his burning skull at his dead copy. The skull flew through his copy without doing any harm. Shang saw how a hammer took his dead copy from behind and smashed the head of the opponent he failed to hit.
When the dead Shang Tsung fell down, the real one saw that Shao Kahn had wielded the weapon. 'You disgust me.' Shao kahn spoke. 'You will die' After the emperor of Outworld had spoken, he walked towards Shang Tsung. Shang feared for his life now and fell to his knees. 'Please master, I can help you. Please spare me.' As Shang Tsung was praying for his life, he felt the blade of a sword touch his neck. Suddenly, the images dissapeared and when he looked backwards, Shang Tsung saw his opponent holding a black sword. 'I have a propsoal for you. I need your...skills. In return, I will not only spare your life, I will also give you riches if you do as I want. If you don't listen to me, I destroy you.' Fear spoke.
Shang Tsung knew he had no choise. This man had crawled into his mind and had manipulated Tsung, something he could not possible believe was possible. 'Who are you?' Shang Tsung asked.
Angst smiled when he spoke. 'I am the one, the only one. I am the god of kingdom come. I am Angst. Come with me and I'l explain more but remember, If try to betray me or attack me, I will crush you.' When Angst had said it, he took a mace with a steel head from his belt that looked almost like a mirror. The mace had small and sharp spikes all over it. When the sorcerer looked at the mace, he thought he saw that  faint image on the steel head. Angst moves the mace downwards as if he hit something and suddenly saw Liu Kang standing victorious in mortal kombat. The image was gone suddenly and Shnag Tsung looked at a smiling intruder.

'This is only a mere showcase of my power. Defy me and I will destroy you' Angst spoke with ease. He had shown Shang Tsung what he could do and knew it was enough to force the man into submission. 'Follow me.' Angst spoke to Shang Tsung and the clone troopers that were still alive. After walking through the door and walked up to the portal, they stepped through. 'What was that?' Shang tsung asked as Angst took out the dagger. 'That was a rift. I can create them with this dagger I aquired and can close them with the weapon. I use it to travel between worlds and universes. Very usefull.' 'Indeed. I need to research it sometime.' Shang Tsung reacted. Angst then closed the rift and guided his new servant to the large building.
