#kidd thunder

We don't know how Hanzo became an orphan in the New Era, but if it was through a massacre, it would be interesting if he got to save his baby brother, Satoshi, the same way Harumi saved her daughter in the MK2021 movie.

Hanzo would initially think he failed in saving him, only to find out he succeeded and now he's got his brother back with him in the Shirai Ryu!🥹

Deviating a bit from canon, you know MK1 Hanzo is a Netherrealmer to me, so imagine the same history, but settled in Netherrealm and now Satoshi is a Hellborn and a Pyromancer like his big brother!

Both Hanzo and Satoshi are trained to be Shirai Ryu and Kuai helps them both master their Hellfire!

Kidd Thunder:

Ok, I left Kidd Thunder for last cause I'm about to go wild!

You know how Raiden has a sister in the New Era and we all collectively assumed it would be genderbent Fujin? Hear me out:

Kidd Thunder is Raiden's sister!

I know Raiden and Fujin are the OG siblings and they are referencing the Japanese Mythology, BUT we can't hardly say the same about New Era Raiden. He is a regular dude who's powers come from an amulet! He is not the Thunder God Raijin or even our Thunder God Raiden. He's pretty much a new character with his own new lore. So here's an idea:

We know Raiden was afraid of being corrupted by his power and/or not being able to control all that power, so a solution he found was to share his power!

With the help of Liu Kang, he divided the Amulet in two and the power was split in two. The owners of the two halves would have to be on the same side and share their ideals, otherwise the Amulet wouldn't work.

Raiden gave the other half to his younger sister, and she was thrilled with the opportunity to leave Fengjian and become a hero!

She's heavily into superhero comics, so when she gets her powers she starts calling herself Kidd Thunder! Raiden thinks it's corny and unnecessary, but she loves it and everyone slowly grows fond to it so eventually Raiden gives in (Johnny is also heavily encouraging of her theatrics, and that's why he's her favourite, he gets her🤭)

Now to the Previous Timeline:

Satoshi Hasashi:

Imagine a world where Hanzo did keep his promise to Raiden and spared Bi-Han’s life, and in return, Raiden kept his end of the deal and brought the Shirai Ryu back!

Satoshi's grandparents were the Grandmasters of the Shirai Ryu, so the titles would be passed down to Harumi and Hanzo sooner or later, but as the two of them were the ones who took the reins and resettled the clan back to it's former glory, Harumi's parents decided they would take over sooner!

Satoshi's parents became Grandmasters Hummingbird and Scorpion and now it seemed expectations on him only increased! After all, he is the son of the clan's greatest warriors, the clan's saviours and leaders!

So Satoshi pushed himself to be the best! He learned how to emulate his father's Pyromancy through his mother's potions and became his generation's greatest warrior: the Firebird!

Frost:

Hanzo's decision didn't just affect his future, but also the fates of the entire Sub-Zero Family!

Since Kuai wouldn't have to worry about avenging Bi-Han, he could focus on the threat growing in his very backyard: The Cyber Initiative!

From within, he convinced not only his twin, Lisa, to runaway with him but also his adoptive siblings Tomas and Cyrax!

They found Bi-Han after the tournament and together they decided they would defeated Oniro and Sektor and reform the Lin Kuei!

Of course that wouldn't be an easy task and when Hanzo and Harumi heard of their situation, they offered shelter and resources! The siblings stayed in their home for a long time, but that was hardly a problem as they all had time to grow closer... some of them even closer, lol!

In gratitude, the siblings promised that once the Lin Kuei was theirs they would start an alliance with the Shirai Ryu!

Said and done, Kuai, Lisa and Bi-Han became Grandmasters and thus the most legendary clans of Earthrealm formed an alliance!

But the focus is not on the Grandmasters Subzero, but on their star student: Frost!

They found her when they were dismantling a Black Dragon fortress! She fought in their rings for the evil clan's amusement. She was extremely talented, and all siblings agreed all that talent was being wasted on that ring.

They set her free and brought her to the Lin Kuei, always reaffirming that she was free and could leave whenever she wanted but, if she choose to stay they would treat her like a person and help her properly develop her Cryomancy. She agreed!

With the alliance of the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei officially settled, Frost and Satoshi finally met!

Kidd Thunder:

I'll keep Kidd Thunder as a girl cause I really liked the concept, but she has a very different origin here:

Unlike her New Era counterpart, this Kidd Thunder isn't a human, she's Lord Raiden himself! Well, a part of him!

Raiden wanted to learn what was like to be a human, but didn't want to risk leave Earthrealm vulnerable with his own vulnerability, so instead, he separated a part of his own soul and created a human being that would be able to fully experience... well, humanity!

Raiden used to simply call her "Raiden" as she is a part of himself, but his champions explained though she is a part of him, she's still her own individual and therefore should have her own name! Raiden understood and told her to pick a name and she chose Kidd Thunder!

She grew up with the Shaolin and spend most her childhood among Earthrealm's champions!

Years later, the Special Forces assembled a team of young warriors, the next Champions of Earthrealm, Kidd Thunder was the first to be called and there she finally met her teammates, Frost and Firebird!

I shamelessly tie-up this with my Divorced!Hanrumi AU cause I really liked that AU and wanted to develop on it!

Anyways! Here's another huge rambling! Hope you like this one!💕

Also, did you like girly Kidd Thunder? If anyone has ideas for names for her, I'd love to hear!👀🩵

This in itself was not unusual. Humans who were welcomed to the temple often brought with them their joy and cheer. Bo Rai Cho rarely passed up the opportunity to spread mirth during his visits. Fujin himself was more carefree by nature, open to wonder and awe where most of his fellow deities were reserved. 

This laughter was different. It was jarring to hear, both familiar and foreign at once. The airy yet staccato sound echoed off what should have been empty halls. Sharp and high pitched, it rolled through temple, traveling from room to room, making it difficult to pin down the source. It was only when it stopped, if only for a moment, that Fujin realized where he had heard it before. 

That was Raiden’s laugh.

At least it used to be. The tone was light, more akin to a child’s, but it was otherwise identical to the sounds Fujin thought long lost. He hadn't heard such frivolity from his brother in millennia. Not since… Well. There was a reason that previous champions were rarely spoken of. To hear it again now, absolutely unprompted, should have been a momentous occasion, but it was instead unnerving.

Raiden wasn’t at the temple. He had gone to the Wu Shi Academy for business with the Order of Light and had yet to return. Even if he were to return without being seen, the air carried none of the static that heralded his presence. Beyond that, what would there be to laugh about so freely, given recent events? He had retreated even further into his shell of stoicism than Fujin had seen before.

Following the sound was difficult. Each time he got close, the laughter would fade out before echoing from another part of the temple entirely. The chase quickly turned from puzzling to frustrating, his winds whipping into a frenzy to mirror his mood. Whoever, whatever this was was toying with him. When he finally caught sight of something disappearing around a corner, only for it to be gone when he reached it, he had had enough.

Whatever was there was not mortal. That simple fact allowed Fujin the freedom to dissolve his physical form into pure divine winds without concern. Traversing the temple at unnatural speed, he cleared floor after floor, able to completely disperse the remnants of lingering echoes. It soon became apparent there was only one section remaining—the Jinsei Chamber.
