Mortal Kombat 1 Intros with Medusa!Reader
Spoilers for Story mode: Proceed with caution
Yourself (Mirror Match)
Y/N: How could you possibly willingly marry that snake?!?
Y/N 2: My dear snake gave me the fruits of knowledge you could never imagine.
/
Y/N 1: Ugh, let me guess, you’re also married to Shang Tsung?
Y/N 2: No, I am happily married to Syzoth.
/
Y/N 2: Such a disappointment looking at my carbon copy.
Y/N 1: It isss more disappointing that you are as insanely depraved as you are!
/
Y/N 2: Have you considered the benefits of Kytinn royal jelly for your cure?
Y/N 1: Ha! As I- Mmmhhh, You may be on to something.
/
Y/N 1: I thought Lord Lui Kang turned you to dust!
Y/N 2: Do you really think my husband and I would not have any contingencies?
/
Y/N 1: You made Empress Sindel do WHAT?
Y/N 2 gives a malicious chuckle: Pulling her strings was some of the most fun I had in a long time.
/
Y/N 1: You have some rather questionable taste in bedfellows.
Y/N 2: At least I can hold mine without fear of being stabbed instantly.
/
Shang Tsung
Shang Tsung: Across all timelines, we were meant to be.
Y/N: Never in this one or the next will I ever belong to you!
/
Shang Tsung: You have to understand what you saw in my lab is what true progress looks like.
Y/N: To think, I ever marveled at watching you work with your magic.
/
Shang Tsung: I know you would love the rare flora that can be found on my island-
Y/N: I rather see a carnivorous plant digest you slowly.
/
Y/N: I regret not ending you when I had the chance.
Shang Tsung: Don’t blame yourself too much, my sweet. I know you still hold a torch for me.
/
Y/N: You will NOT lay a hand on Baraka!
Shang Tsung: I will not let a filthy beast get in between us!
/
Y/N angrily: Every day, I wake up to find a stranger in the mirror.
Shang Tsung softly: And yet, you're the same clever woman as always.
/
Shang Tsung angrily: It wasn't enough to steal my birthright, but you also had to take away my soul mate?
Lui Kang: I did nothing of the sort, YOU drove her away.
Baraka
Y/N coquettishly: Do not go easy on me, Baraka.
Baraka: I know how you like it rough.
/
Y/N: So we are in agreement?
Baraka: Only IF you win, I'll stomach any greens you want me to eat for the next 3 moons.
/
Y/N: Sometimes, I wish we could-
Baraka: So do I, Y/N
/
Y/N: I heard from Ashrah that you asked her to end your life if you were to lose your mind.
Baraka: I did not want to burden your soul by having you take my life.
/
Baraka: How close are you to finding a cure?
Y/N: As much as I loathed to admit it, Shang Tsung's research has put me even closer to finding a permanent one.
/
Baraka: If you want to enter the Kytinn Hive, you’ll need to fight harder than ever before.
Y/N: I know I can trust you to watch my back, my friend.
/
Baraka: Stay away from Y/N, Sorcerer!
Shang Tsung: You cannot stop destiny, savage!
Syzoth
Y/N: I have so much to thank you for, Syzoth.
Syzoth: It's the least I can do for all I've been complicit in.
/
Syzoth: Does your skin still burn, Y/N?
Y/N: Not really, but my skin has been itching and flaking like mad.
/
Y/N: If I had known what Shang was doing to you, Syzoth-
Syzoth: Then you probably would been given a worse fate.
/
Syzoth: Zikandar barely survived the Kytinn's attack, and you want to follow them to their hive???
Y/N: If my theory about Kytinn royal jelly is correct, I could finally cure Tarkat!
/
Y/N gives a smug grin: Think you can slip out of my constricting hold?
Syzoth grins in return: If I can slip past Shao's forces, I'll have no trouble doing the same with you.
/
Syzoth teasingly: I believe you and Baraka would make a tremendous mated pair.
Y/N: Th-th-that'sss very kind of you to say, Syzoth.
/
Syzoth: I know what you did to her wasn't an accident.
Shang Tsung: I am not as heartless as to do that to my precious flower.
Mileena
Mileena: Why did you not tell me or Mother sooner about what happened?
Y/N: By then, your mother would not hear anything I had to say.
/
Mileena: Don't you regret being unable to save Mother?!
Y/N: My regret haunts me no matter the hour.
/
Mileena with desperate hope: Are you really close to a cure???
Y/N: I'm close to a breakthrough, but I will need a legion of soldiers to collect the most important ingredient.
/
Y/N: You did not happen to skip your required meditative exercises to sparr with Tanya again, did you?
Mileena: And what if I did? Skipping one session won't kill me.
/
Y/N: If I had found a way to treat your symptoms sooner, your mother would never have welcomed Shang Tsung into her court.
Mileena: One way or another, that Snake would have found some way to slither into the court.
/
Y/N: For what you did for the Tarkatans, you are already proving to be a fine Empress.
Mileena: It warms my heart to hear such praise from you.
/
Y/N: We are both trapped in bodies not our own.
Mileena: I pray to the gods that we may one day find a cure for you as well.
Shao
Shao: I almost regret not inviting you to join my cause.
Y/N: Your father should have let you die as a child!
/
Y/N: Your so-called "Patriotism" is nothing but a ruse to hide your lust for power.
Shao: And here I thought you were clever as your reputation says.
/
Y/N: I was tempted to leave you to die of your wounds, countless times.
Shao: Hah! For a Healer you are rather callous.
/
Y/N: I have to say, Reiko makes a far better statue than he ever did as a soldier.
Shao: Reverse your curse, witch!
/
Y/N: In hindsight, it is not so ssssurprising that your pride would have you betray the Empire.
Shao: I fight against the Royal Family for the sake of Outworld!
/
Shao: What in the Netherrealm did you do to my troops?!?
Y/N: I simply had the wildlife you hunt around your camp eat some special shrooms.
/
Shao: What do you truly know of War, Little Healer?
Y/N: Enough to know every possible way the mightiest can break.
Sindel
Y/N: I cannot fathom you as some vile harpy.
Sindel: Nor I with you as a heartless mad woman.
/
Y/N: I have deeply missed your hanging gardens.
Sindel: Perhaps later we may visit them together for old times sake.
/
Y/N: I am happy to report that Mileena is improving in mind and spirit
Sindel: I hope the same could be said for her body.
/
Sindel hurt: Why did you not come to me after what Shang Tsung did to you?
Y/N: I feared you would turn me away like you did with Lei Mei once you saw my visage.
/
Sindel: Care to explain the statue that strongly resembles Reiko in the middle of my garden?
Y/N: He had it coming to him.
/
Sindel: I am sorry, Y/N, the answer is still no. As Empress, I can not risk catching Tarkat.
Y/N hissing: If you only ssssaw what disgraceful conditions you forced the afflicted to live with!
/
Sindel: I am happy you found joy as I did with Jerrod, even with his disease.
Y/N surprised: What has Mileena been telling you now?
Johnny Cage
Johnny: Seriously, what did you see in Shang Tsung?!?
Y/N, with an exasperated sigh: Only what he wanted me to see.
/
Johnny: You will NOT believe how much my fans ship you and Baraka.
Y/N: Ship? Do they plan on building a boat for us?
/
Johnny: I totally have a chance with Katana... Don't I?
Y/N: *Hisses in amusement before responding* Ahhh, you are amusing Earthrealmer but no.
/
Y/N: Dammit Earthrealmer! I'm a healer, not an actress!
Johnny: But you already have the part down to a T!
/
Y/N: I too am something of a jokester.
Johnny: Ehhh no offense beautiful, but I'm not one for your brand of dark comedy.
/
Y/N: Why would you show me such a film???
Johnny: I swear, I forgot that's what happened to Medusa in that scene!
/
Baraka: Care to explain why Y/N seemed so frightened when she returned from your abode?
Johnny: Wait, wait, wait! I can explain!
/
Ashrah
Y/N almost smugly: So I resemble a demon?
Ashrah: That’s not exactly a good thing, Y/N.
/
Y/N: Baraka asked you to do what now?!
Ashrah: I pray you can find a cure for his condition before it comes down to that.
/
Y/N bashfully: Wh-what has Syzoth been telling you?
Ashrah: So are you and Baraka not a couple?
/
Y/N: I will gladly help you put down Quan-chi, as long as you do the same with Shang Tsung.
Ashrah: Together, we will put a permanent stop to both our tormentors.
/
Ashrah: My kris appears rather split with you.
Y/N: Considering some of things I’ve done, that doesn’t surprise me.
/
Ashrah: I am grateful you support Syzoth and I.
Y/N in a happy tone: Just be aware that if you hurt him any way, you’ll be begging for death.
/
Ashrah: For a healer, you’re rather…
Y/N: Violent? That's always just been me.
A/N: Don't forget to like, reblog, and comment as I love hearing from y'all! Stay weird, my fellow humans.

Medusa!Reader and Shang in Mortal Kombat 1 Part 9

Spoilers for Mortal Kombat 1 Story Mode: Proceed with Caution
As you expected, you started to gag the moment the door to Shang Tsung's True Laboratory opened. However, what you didn't expect is learning that Earthrealm's protector and God of Fire, Lord Liu Kang, was a Titan that created existence as you know it! As if that isn't enough, some other Titan named Kronika made it so you too were a mistress of the vilest magics and married to the vilest Sorcerer to match, Shang Tsung.
Yet, it got worse when I learned that in the previous timeline, you took control of Sindel's body and made her do the most despicable acts imaginable. You noticed how your Empress glanced towards you when Geras showed her this vision, shock just as apparent. You had no words.
Liu Kang then tells you and Sindel how she was now meant to be the Empress of Outworld who ruled firmly, but fairly. With you as her loyal friend and a compassionate Healer to all. The former Titan then explains how you were never meant to become monstrous, how it was outside influences that have affected this timeline so that Shang Tsung, Quan-chi, and Shao became the villains they were once more. Yet, thankfully, they weren't able to influence you to join them.
That's when burst into Shang Tsung's laboratory with some of his soldiers with Nitara and Rain at his sides. You crouch down into a fighting stance with your sickles out and ready to rip and tear; while internally cheering on Sindel as she angrily reprimands Shao. Your snakes hissing and writhing as they leaned toward the General's direction, eager to bite. You and the snakes let out a hiss when Shao pulls out an amulet that shined brightly with unholy power. You managed to duck out of the way when a beam of red shoots out from the amulet, sucking Mileena, Kitana, Tanya, and Geras into it. This broke the camel's back, causing a full-out melee to take place.
You and Li Mei immediately partnered to take on General Shao. Although the latter has certainly learned a few things from his last fight with you, such as keeping his eyes purposefully closed or using the reflection of his ax to fight you, specifically aiming for your neck with his ax. Honestly, you probably would've loosed your head multiple times if it weren't for Li Mei pushing and pulling you out of the way. Unfortunately, General Shao manages to slip away from both of you long enough to make an attempt to use the amulet on Sindel. That doesn't happen since Li Mei kicks the disgraced General in the head hard enough to send him to the ground, with you following up with a stab to his solar plexus. This causes Shao to drop the amulet right into Sindel's hand.
With the amulet secured, you follow Li Mei and everyone else out of the lab. Not surprisingly, you're soon pursued by more of Shao's loyal soldiers. After Lord Liu Kang held the initial group back with a blast of fire; you follow it up by ripping off your mask to turn the soldiers attempting to sidestep or go under the fire, into stone; with Sindel finishing them off by unleashing her banshee shriek into the stone ceiling, causing it to collapse on the soldiers.
More of Shao's soldiers, including his loyal second-in-command, Reiko, were waiting for all of you in the upper level. You again partner up with Li Mei, this time to take down Motaro. As Li Mei occupied him from the front, you were able to sneak behind the centaurian and jump on his back. This did not make Motaro happy at ALL, as he simultaneously attempted to throw you off him and stab you with his bladed tail. However, you've been doing this sort of thing for moons when handling rage-blind Tarkatans! You bite deeply into Motaro's neck, however with only enough venom to hopefully paralyze him, as you hope to save more of it for later. Although, even sluggish, Motaro still put up a fight until one well-placed kick from Li Mei knocked him out.
The fight isn't over yet as you then had to fight alongside Sindel to take down Rain after he knocked out Li Mei with a powerful burst of water meant for the Empress. The latter also shares your deep disappointment in the High Mage.
"He disappoints us both, my Empress... I still remember the eager young boy who often stayed in my workshop for hours with a hunger for knowledge."
You soon showed Rain that you haven't actually taught him EVERYTHING you know about water magic. Unlike most of your opponents thus far, you refrained from giving Rain a lethal taste of your venom or blades. You internally scold yourself for being so soft, even though you know it's true. This fact is reaffirmed when rather than fighting with Li Mei and Sindel against Shao, you instead quickly attended to the Umgadi priestess Shao cut down. You hastily grab the nearby medical supplies to save them, although only one of them was still alive since the other died instantly from having her skull split open. Your steady hands worked fast to clean the wound, stop the bleeding, disinfect, and finally wrap and patch up the deep cut. Before you then get to work for the other Umgadi and Constables. By the time Sindel finally took down Shao and removed his forces from the building, lord Liu Kang was able to free all those who were trapped in the amulet.
You gave a smile when Sindel embraced her two daughters, sharing the feeling of immense relief that they're unharmed. Although, as Lord Liu Kang would remind you all, there's no time to waste to save the realms. You agreed and gathered all of the medical supplies Shang Tsung had lying around before embarking with your Empress. her daughters, and the others.
