au wherein mk11 liu kang and mk1 liu kang switched timelines PART 1
fluff and angst(?)
liu kang and his champions were enjoying a meal at madam bo's when everything took an unexpected turn. out of nowhere, a sandstorm occurred, strangely manifesting indoors within the restaurant.
liu kang, in the midst of it, faded away into the sand, causing panic among the group. however, to their surprise, liu kang reappeared immediately as the sand gathered around him, but something was different—he was younger.
as the sandstorm calmed and vanished, and normalcy returned, the bewildered group noticed the transformed liu kang. equally confused, liu kang questioned why he was now among them.
younger liu kang questioned, "i was just training with the monks earlier. why am i now here?"
as he glanced around, he spotted kung lao. initially poised to speak due to a sense of familiarity, he soon realized that his friend was also different, leaving him momentarily silent in surprise.
raiden calmly commented, "we are just as surprised as you are."
liu kang then turned his attention to the man, sensing familiarity yet unable to place him. he inquired, "lord raiden? is that you? kung lao is here, so is johnny, and is that really you, kenshi?" as he glanced at each man in the room, liu found them all strangely familiar.
however, the confusion in their expressions mirrored the whirlwind of uncertainty that surrounded the unusual circumstances. there was so much going on, and the pieces of the puzzle seemed just out of reach.
in another timeline, fire god liu kang found himself in a place that felt oddly familiar—it was wu shi academy, but not the one from his own timeline. he understood where the sands had brought him, having once been the keeper of time. a man called out to him, a voice he recognized, "who are you? what is your purpose of visit?"
liu kang stood frozen for a moment, then turned around to see kung lao. "liu kang?" kung lao questioned.
upon seeing his old friend, liu kang's realization dawned, and without hesitation, he went for a tight hug. overwhelmed by the joy of reuniting, liu kang held onto kung lao, who, still confused, allowed the embrace without resistance. the reunion spoke of a deep and dearly missed connection between the two friends.

Had an interesting idea. You may have noticed that in this post I implied that there may be at least one non-game-based living Character-Level server somewhere out in the digital multiverse that nobody knows about yet because they think it's impossible for one to form without outside influence. Well, I figured out which one it is: A universe made from a pirated collection of every official episode, movie, short, music video, and even scans of the dubiously canon IDW comics run of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, along with any other official media I can't think of at the moment. Because I can. Whoever owns the collection doesn't know that they have a real live Equestria at their fingertips because the actual media storage is a layer above the living universe (or universes, what with Starswirl's Mirror Portals), so watching/reading the stuff doesn't affect what's happening down there or vice-versa, and the characters also don't know that they're digital beings brought to life by the love of a fan.
If anyone, be they Program, Virus, Anomaly, or Character, were to go there they'd be changed into a form that fits the universe (so a pony/dragon/griffon/etc. choose whatever fits best in the main world, a human with the same color scheme as their Equestria form in the Canterlot High world) Because Mirror Portal Magic, though Code-Level entities can change back to their usual form if they prefer. When they leave they go back to normal. If any locals ever managed to go to other digital universes they'd stay in their usual forms because Most Universes Don't Do That. It's similar to the Enforced Art Styles of the Cats are Liquid and Fairly Oddparents universes, though FiM and CaL are obviously more drastic than FOP.
The first major characters to find out about this are Ozymandias and Garyboy, who stumble upon it at some point post-release and decide to use it as a base of operations, on the grounds that 1) Nobody else knows this world exists, 2) if anyone else did find it they'd never expect those two to be living there, and 3) the whole transformation thing means they can hide in plain sight. When they're there Garyboy is a purple-and-green pegasus with a black-cupped plunger for a cutie mark, while Ozzy is a vaguely serpentine dragon and his maneuver form is a Kirin. They later find out that prolonged exposure to Equestria's magic has had side-effects, namely that they can now use their Equestrian Form abilities (weather magic for Gary, fire breath, flaming rage form and unicorn magic for Ozzy) in their normal forms. That'll be fun to show off to their enemies.

consider: what if kelnacca is a bridge between the high republic phase 1/3 and 2 comics because he was Matty’s padawan and Sskeer’s master
interesting idea, and while I hope we'll find out more about his connection to other THR characters in his upcoming comic oneshot, I don't think he's that old (no actual reasons behind that thought, just vibes). Cavan Scott (same guy who wrote the THR comics) will be writing his oneshot so I am expecting connections but I don't think he'll be that much connected to the main cast, just in my opinion.

I love how all the international viewers are increasingly confused because timezones are doing their thing (their thing being absolutely confusing). I honestly do not know if I'm 12 hours behind America or 2 hours ahead of it (aren't there also different times zones within the USA? Oh god that only makes it worse).
