Kahn does what Kahn do

"So Ben Kahn? Although a bit cringey, it suits you." Sonya walked over to me as the group had dispersed to make preparations. "You've always had that 'Follow Me to Victory' aura around you."

Feeling her steps come closer I turn my head in her direction, Mileena and Jade were smart enough to give us some time to speak as Kitana was feeling awkward being stared at by Liu Kang. "Haha do you feel Victorious Sonya? I see you didn't slow down while I was away."

"Naturally, I'm not the type to slow down and enjoy the roses. I'm more of a shoot first, bury later type of gal." With a light chuckle in her voice she came closer before stopping right in front of me. She looked at my face and despite not having eyes I knew she knew she had my eyes on her.

While I was lost in thought however a compact fist landed on my stomach and I felt more pain than I should've. A second later a pair of arms latched onto my neck as a small head landed on my shoulder. Despite the pain I felt I also felt the warmth of the hug making me short circuit for a second.

"If you ever run off again on your own, I'll make you Kano 2.0. We are a team Benjamin and if you ever throw yourself into some unknown world where your life isn't guaranteed to save me I will kill you myself. Do you understand me?"

Naturally I understood, even with all the words and pain her message was very clear. I wrapped my hands back around her returning her hug as I whispered "I missed you too Sonya." I felt her tremble a bit but she recovered as she left my embrace.

"I may not know all the details of Khan or whatever, but it sounds like after this fight we're not coming back?"

"Yeah, I plan to close the gates on both sides to make sure this stupid war ends here. Unless some stupid overpowered god or something decides to intervene again....wait did you just say 'we're not coming back' what do you mean we?"

"Naturally I'm coming with you, or did you think I would let a disabled man take the lead into bringing our world peace, while I a fully able woman sit to the side?"

Normally I'd say something slick, but I'm already semi fluent in Sonya so I roughly understood that she just wanted to follow me, "Sonya outworld isn't a good place. I'll spend the rest of my life fighting, against the clans, the people, the environment..."

"Well it's a good thing I don't care right," Sonya cut me off "Besides I thought blind guys were supposed to have great hearing?"

She simply turned around and started exiting the room "Im a shoot first and bury later type, now excuse me I have to familiar myself with my new superpowers. After all I have an entire world to help you rebuild."

Watching her leave I could only sigh knowing Sonya Blade is a very stubborn blonde. "She seems fun, my Kahn. Definitely Outworld material, she'll be fine." I recognized Kitana's voice as she made her way to my side.

"To be honest Kitana I know she is. If she had more strength I don't even doubt she could use her own means to run for Khan. But, either way are all the preparations done?"

"Yes my Kahn! Raine has contacted me and told me that she and Scarlett were arranged by Shang Tsung to join his Earth March, after learning about the number of champions still alive. Apparently he wants to finish things quickly before other gods start interfering or forcing him to follow normal Mortal Kombat rules."

"...and the Klans?"

"Baraka has led 1,000 Tarkatans to Shang's city. New Edenia is currently under Martial Law, and Jade and Mileena should have already started 'shopping'."

Since we're already on Earth and I may not come back for a while after the tournament I gave Jade and Mileena the task to go shopping. Seeds, trees, animals to raise, and live fish. Now that New Edenia has water again the next step is to slowly rebuild the greenery. She may or may not have to max out every one of my credit cards, but then again if I'm not coming back do I still have to pay it?

Either way Kitana and I spent some time talking and even brought Kabal into the conversation once or twice. After all I didn't really want to kill this guy, his speed alone made him someone worth it, but also because this guy has information on Shao Kahn and his armies. Not to mention making him an errand boy will be useful. Loyalty however....

Anyways, after about four hours Mileena warped back to the temple with Jade in hand who immediately reported "My Kahn, I bought every on your list. Cows, chickens, and ducks were just directly taken away by Mileena like you asked and all the plants have been arranged in New Edenia, if nothing goes wrong we can start planting once you return...."

Seeing she still had something to say I motioned for her to continue but I was met with awkwardness, I turned to Mileena who had no hesitation.

"We stole most of the things Edenia needed to become self reliant for at least 5 years, however we maxed our your cards on clothes, games, furniture, and other stuff we couldn't obtain in Outworld. We also ordered a few vehicles and filled up about 60 oil drums of gasoline. Along with some generators and appliances. Moreover we also bought many cold weapons that were being used as display. After all your hot weapons have no affect on us unless used with Arkana."

She spoke a mouthful which is already extraordinary considering her character, yet I immediately understood Jade's embarrassment. They stole everything I asked them to buy, and bought stuff I didn't ask for. However that goes to show Mileena knew me best because the things she picked up were things I was hesitating on before. After all my selfishness or the lives of the people following me. Easy choice.

I walk over to the two and gave them a "Good work ladies, with those things New Edenia will become the starting point. Within five years with all the elephant grass and other trees you obtained it should be easy to make Edenia green again. With water, homes, clothes, food, naturally no one will want to cause problems."

"No one dares cause problems to you My Kahn. You underestimate your influence. The people call you the Waterbringer, and Earthshaker. If anything....'borrowing' some materials just show your vision." Jade definitely wasn't used to things like stealing but she also understood their circumstances, Edenia right now was just a desert city with people, homes and water but no food stalk or greenery.

"Once it grows and we spread it, plus your ability to bring up the most fertile soil, it shouldn't be an issue to start absorbing another Klan in a year or two. Bringing you back was definitely the most correct decision I made!" Mileena spoke like she planned it.

Jade and I looked at this shameless woman, but before speaking we were interrupted by a cough.

"Ben....Kahn, my I have a word?"

Without turning my head I directly answered "Sure thing. Mileena, Jade go find Kitana and take Kobal back to our cells. Keep his legs mounted."

The girls bowed and left to follow my orders knowing the next conversation wasn't something for them. After there were only two of us in the room I spoke again "So what do you need of me, Lord Raiden."
