Mileena: Silver, told us about it.

KungJin: who's Silver?

There is A Young Girl from out of nowhere. She explains to them who started the invasion.

Silver: I know who started the invasion, it was Mantro.

Everyone Shocked and never seen that coming.

Silver: He is Worse then ShangTsung, Geras Told me about it and we knew that he has many tricks on his sleeves. He's planned to let Sinister took down Liu Kang and banished him to the center in the Shadow Realm. Now Sinister is now the ruler of the hourglass, we must stop him to save LiuKung and get everything back to where it was. Mantro is manipulating about everything to get his own way.. he'll do whatever it takes to get what he wants.

LiuChai: So he is the one who started the invasion after all.

KungJin: shit, I didn't seen that coming.

Dairou: That Bastard brainwashed my Dad and them he turn Him into a psychopath!

Splinter: yeah, and that son of bitch wants to kill us because Alastor and I have Diseases. But we have condition, Itwasn't our fault we can't control that.

Mileena: Don't worry, Splinter, I have a condition too.

Splinter: you do?

Mileena: I know how you guys feel, I can only imagine..it's hard to feel this way.

Tanya: At least your not the only one who has a same condition.

Alastor: thanks it means a lot to both of us.

Splinter: Wow, I appreciate that.

KungJin: Your beauty is in the inside, including you and I love your Eyes.

KungJin looks at Alastor, and Kungjin got a Crush on Him. The way KungJin looks at Alastor, KungJin is fall in Love with Alastor. Alastor is very Shy and he doesn't want to show him that he has Vaternion condition. But Kung Jin doesn't care, he's just love him just the way he is.... KungJin came to Alastor.

KungJin: So um....I bet the Chaos create you a beauty in the inside.....I mean....

Alastor: well thank you, your eyes are gorgeous..

KungJin: yours too as well.

Baraka and Syzoth ran to the Great Hall and tells the empress that General Shao and Reiko is unleashed.

Syzoth: Empress, General Shao and Reiko has Escaped. And Shao.... His outfit looks different...

Mileena: Get everything ready we have to protect the palace.

Kitana shocked to see Shaokhan and Reiko brings the Army to destroy the empress.

Kitana: we have to hurry, Their Coming!!!

Dairou: Shit!!

Jerrod: Alastor, Go to the Phantom Forest you know they are, right?

Alastor: Yes, Jerrod.

Jerrod: Dairou, Take Splinter and Silver to see Kotal Khan. Get them safe.

Splinter: don't worry I got this...

Dairou: No, Splinter, you condition, you can't... Just go with us..

Splinter: Your Right..

Dairou takes Splinter and Silver Safe and Alastor transforms into Vaternion and Spread his Big Wings and Fly to the Phantom Forest, KungJin saw Alastor Vaternion Form, He love the way he sees Alastor...

KungJin: Whoa...that's Badass...

LiuChai: Jin! Help me get everything shut.

KungJin came to LiuChai and Help the other keep the doors locked before ShaoKhan arrived.

ShaoKhan: FEEL THE WRATH OF SHAO KHAN!!!

Meanwhile, Shimmer Spectrum and MasterLeo get the warriors prepared for the War Against Agony. Spectrum Saw Alastor and Shimmer Realized its Alastor.

Spectrum: Is that a Vaternion?

Shimmer: WAIT, DON'T SHOOT!!!!

Alastor arrives in the phantom Forest. Shimmer ask Alastor About What's going on.

Shimmer: Alastor, what are doing here?

Alastor: Jerrod Send me to help you guys with the Forest.

MasterLeo: Where is your Siblings?

Alastor: They're going to see Kotal Khan, their Safe now. Im here to Help you.

Spectrum: Wait, That Vaternion is your allie?

Alastor: I'm a DayWalker, I was born with my Condition. I am nothing like them.

Spectrum: So you'r not like Other Vaternions? I just got confused, Iv been study about it. I guess the history is Different. So I guess was Wrong.

Alastor: the truth is Not all Vaternions Are Bad, the Leader are the one who controls the blood Thirsty Vampire Kind..I maybe drink blood, but I don't kill people to Suck blood just like the Others.

Spectrum: In year Ago I saw Mantro For the first time. I saw Mantro attacks Nitara and I came to her and Try to help her, but She Died on my Arms loosing Blood from her injuries......Which it makes since that why I started to no longer trusting Quan Chi now.

Alastor: Not only that, but Mantro is the one Starting a invasion...the Girl told us that..

Shimmer and Spectrum Shocked..

Shimmer: "Gasp"

Spectrum: WHAT?!

Shimmer: No, this Can't be, How?

Alastor: I don't Know.

Spectrum: Bastard! I knew He Has Suspicious! I knew what's he was planning this all along!!!!

Then the Red Dark Clouds Among them and there a Crawler from the shadow realm Spawning and attack the people in the village. Shimmer Shocked and would not believe that Mantro put them through, Shimmer tries to help the people in the village, bits too late. The Crawlers has already devours them all. Shimmer is Devastated. Shimmer, Spectrum and Alastor runs to the temple and Shimmer saw Mantro fighting against MasterLeo.

Shimmer: MasterLao!!!

They ran to the Temple and tried to save Master Leo but Spectrum was known down by QuanChi's Dark Magic. Spectrum Saw QuanChi.

QuanChi: Spectrum, how dare you, betrayed me, I adopted you and give what you want but yet you disobey me?

Spectrum: Your not helping me, your just using me just to serve you . I used to be your apprentice, I trusted you, but I was wrong about trusting you QuanChi, this is not that who I am. I don't deserve this! I am no longer Your Slave. Your not a kind a person I thought you were!

QuanChi: I don't Need you anyway, since I have Mantro. Besides your nothing but a Failure..

Spectrum: No Quan Chi, You made me a Failure...Now This is my time to shine!

QuanChi: Very Well, This will your Last Fight, Spectrum.

QuanChi and Spectrum Starting Fighting and Using Dark Magic. But Quan Chi attacks Spectrum with his Dark Magic to knock Spectrum Down.

QuanChi: there's no way you can beat me Spectrum. Now, any Last words before I kill You?

But Spectrum did not Give up, He's in Pain, but he Finally Stands for not only for himself but his friends too. Spectrum Started Giggling.

QuanChi: What's So Funny?

Spectrum Double flips a Bird.

Spectrum: Bye Folicha...

Spectrum started Fight back and Knocks Quan Chi to the waterfall....(He's still alive)

QuanChi:Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....(Splash)

Meanwhile Shimmer runs to the Temple and Help Master Leo to fight against Mantro, But Unfortunately Mantro use his Dark Magic to control branch to Grab Shimmer and Mantro Knocks Leo Down.

Mantro: "Evil Laugh" You see Shimmer, this is what agony Looks Like..You are nothing but a Coward that all you do is showing Magic to People in Outworld... Pathetic.....And You can't able to fight Back, can you....(Mantro Using His dark Magic to use branch to stretch Shimmer's limbs.)

Shimmer: GAH! (Heavy Breathing and Frighten)

Mantro: it hurts Doesn't it, now you know what agony Looks likes.

MasterLeo: Stop! Leave Him Alone!!! (To Mantro)

Mantro: Oh Poor little Old Man. You can't even save your Student, Your Pathetic....you just don't get it, do you?

Shimmer Struggling with dealing with Pain while Mantro is Trying to stretch his Limps Slowly, with his Magic.

Mantro: If you want him, You just gonna have to watch him die...

Mantro trying to kill Shimmer, But Luckily, Spectrum throw his Reaper Staff to cut the Branch and Release Shimmer.

Mantro: What The....

Shimmer grab a piece a Dirt and throw to Mantro's Eyes.

Suddenly Unexpectedly, Mantro Stab MasterLeo's Chest. Shimmer Spectrum and Alastor shocked and did not seen that coming.

Shimmer: NOOOOOOO!!!(Cries)

Mantro Started Evil Laughing.

Mantro: Oh pity you Shimmer there's no way you can save your master now. He Won't Protect you any longer.

Shimmer: Why are you doing this?

Mantro: I don't know...just to get my way perhaps. (Chuckle)

Shimmer: You Basterd, you won't get away with This, Mantro!! I will never forget what you done to my Master!

Shimmer: Please be there for him, I'll deal with Him! (To Spectrum and Alastor

Spectrum and Alastor Trying to help MasterLeo. While Shimmer trying to attack Mantro, but Mantro Knocks Shimmer down. Shimmer started Crying.

Mantro: (chuckle) Look at you, trying to fight for peace? What are you, a Villager? a magician who's plays with a Cats, Creating Garden and Doing some boring tricks? You are a Fool, Shimmer. You are A Fucking Coward.

Shimmer Remember that what Raiden Taught at the The whu Shi academy and he finally stands Up and Fights Back...

Shimmer: I....Am...more...then magician..

Mantro: What are you then?

Shimmer: I am a Shaolin Monk!!!!

Shimmer Fight Mantro just like what Raiden Taught him, and Mantro realize that shimmer is not coward.

So Shimmer kicked Mantro off the Cliff and Goes to the Waterfall.

Shimmer Ran back to Spectrum and Alastor to try to MasterLeo.

Shimmer:it's okay MasterLeo....I can fix you, please just stay with me.

but it's too late, Master took Shimmer's said a final words to Shimmer.

MasterLeo: Shimmer, it is time...

Shimmer: No, Wait ,what do you mean?

MasterLeo: it means it's time for you to take my Soul before Mantro, So I'm no longer Suffering. Go without me and Take my Staff...

Shimmer: No, no I'm not leaving Without You...... (Shimmer starting Crying) "Sniff".....Please...stay with me......

Shimmer filling his eyes with tears and starts running his tears out and Starting Crying and Scared.

Shimmer: I don't Know what I'm gonna do without You......I don't want to be Alone.....I'm Scared....

MasterLeo Smile to Shimmer and touch Shimmer face with his Bloody hand and using his final his words before he died.

MasterLeo: Don't be Afraid.....Shimmer......I will always there for you.......in Your Heart....I been Always proud of you......(Take his Final Breath and Died)

Shimmer did what he had to do. He use his magic to take MasterLeo's Soul with his hand.(Just like what Jerrod did to sindel after she died). Shimmer bow down to his knees, Crying in Pain. So Spectrum and Alastor feels empathy for him and comforts him.

Spectrum: You did what you had to do, Shimmer, he's not Suffering.

Alastor: Everything is gonna Be okay....

Meanwhile, QuanChi and Mantro Survived in the waterfall but there a bug lady named D'vorah, She's stole the bloom telesman with ShangTsung.

D'vorah: Looking for this, Mantro?

Mantro: Excellent, D'vorah...Now once we have it we will soon revive Shinnok.

ShangTsung: What? You been planing to use us to revive Shinnok?

QuanChi: that is a deal....

ShangTsung: No, I did not signing up for this...

Mantro: Perhaps, you don't have choice....

QuanChi: Luckly, Kano setting the black Dragon to help Shao Khan take the empress Mileena down.

D'vorah: She will be Fallen.

Later in the ruin temple the phantom Forest is now dead and gone and the living Forest is now corrupted again. There nothing Shimmer can do about it, without MasterLeo the forest would fall apart which it is now.

Shimmer: our forest.....everything.....it's now falling apart........I fail them.....I fail everything.....

Spectrum: Shimmer, it's not you fault, there's nothing you can do about it.....you shouldn't be hard on yourself. Don't give up we can fight back...

Shimmer: I don't know Spectrum, I don't what else to do.

Alastor: your not alone, Shimmer, we will always be there for you.

Spectrum: did you know MasterLeo is the Demi God? You have a Demi God's Soul, that's means there is good chance to stop the agony...

Shimmer: I didn't know...why didn't Master Leo tell me.

Spectrum: he told me last night.

Shimmer Realized it is time for him to be brave and no longer afraid of anything.

Shimmer: Guys, I think it's time.

Shimmer Grabs MasterLeo's staff and get ready to save The realms.

Alastor: So, what Now?

Shimmer: it time to start our new Journey....

more tgcf chapters 143-173 lets goooooo

PEI MING BOO HISS except actually okay he’s mostly funny i think but still boo hiss

“hey who’s this guy who’s really pissed at you?” “oh thats my sword. i broke it.” alright then!

i think i need to go back and reread the banyue pass arc bc im still confused as to whats going on with banyue and pei su

“Banyue dropped from the sky with two pots raised. Without a word, she plummeted with the mouths of the pots facing down, trapping and detaining the shocked Ming’guang and the roaring Ke Mo within.” - THATS MY GIRL

“It must be known that, to heavenly officials, it certainly was more than natural for kingdoms of the mortal realm to fight and annihilate one another; the acts of these plays progressing on endlessly. But when it came their own turn, it was often hard to let things go. If one must stand in the same court as the one who annihilated their own kingdom, and that man cavorted in the heavens, exceedingly flashy, then it must be vexing.” - hmmmm!!

“I’ve spoken too many words in this lifetime. What are you referring to?” - okay to be fair thats a mood

okay its nice to get some pei ming backstory and its funny that he and xie lian are bonding but also still whenever pei ming interacts with a female character my hackles rise like a cat lol

“Xie Lian watched as Banyue thought really hard before cheerfully pulling out a few long, wine-red scorpion-snakes, and putting them into the bubbling pot.” - THATS MY GIRL

“Although “smell” was something colourless and formless, the instant Banyue removed the pot cover, it was as if some mysterious physical object had twisted all the air around the mouth of that pot. The group stared at the sight within the pot for a long time. Their pupils reflected an endless, bottomless darkness; like it could pull them into the abyss. No words could describe the sentiment expressed within their eyes. A moment later, Xie Lian patted Banyue’s shoulder and gave a thumbs-up.” - like father-figure like daughter-figure. amazing.

“However, what if one day mortals discovered something completely new that ran faster than horses? Then, when this new invention overtook horses, worshippers of this heavenly official who controlled horses would inevitably decrease. Such heavenly officials, flashing by like shooting stars, made up the majority of the heavens.” - obsessed with this, genuinely. life and change. worship and its purpose. my religious studies diploma on my wall is screaming at me rn. ALSO i am once again thinking about celebrities

“...” It was only then that Pei Ming seemed to notice, and started to contemplate this question. A moment later, he answered, “A habit. In a dark, creepy place like this, isn’t it normal to hold women in your arms, to comfort them and calm their fears?” “I’m sorry, but I wasn’t scared,” Banyue said.” - BANYUE I LOVE YOU. I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. god this takes me back to every college party i ever went to

LING WEN BACKSTORY????? shoeseller chosen for godhood bc she wrote a political essay and got arrested...... and now she’s face to face with the official who appointed her..... do go on.....

“Ling Wen laughed out loud, seeming to be enraged, and her voice dropped. “Very well! You said I couldn’t reach that high. Then, might I ask you: had the prominence of the Palace of Jing Wen at its peak ever reached even the knees of my Palace of Ling Wen??” - GET HIM!!!! BOO HISS JING WEN

“Compared to you, I’m not that bad,” Ling Wen said. “You’d personally order me to stay in the Palace of Jing Wen until midnight, then turn around and say I shamelessly hang around ‘til late to harass you. Words murder without form; I was much nicer responding with blatant violence.” - ling wen im love you..... also this bit... feels Real

BLOOD RAIN BLOOD RAIN BLOOD RAIN!! FLOWER PETALS TRANSFORMATION!!! see hua cheng? look as how cool it can be when you leave the story for a little while!! bc then you get to return and make an entrance!!

“Not only can you bring forth bloody rain, you can also make flowers shower. I didn’t know that. How fun!” - cute!! and in that moment we were all xie lian

“Everyone was stunned by his deed, and Ling Wen arduously gave him a thumbs-up. ”Ol’ Pei, what a man!” Pei Ming gritted his teeth. “WELCOME!” - aww three two tumors buddies!!

okay yin yu is here and xie lian did the equivalent of asking someone when the baby is due only to find out theyre not pregnant at all. then rong guang taunts yin yu and no one says anything. i do love the amount of awkward moments in this book tbh sometimes there are no words.

“All around was sand and mud crushing at him, exceedingly suffocating. The sand and mud was also moving endlessly; the feeling was like he was swallowed into the stomach of a giant monster, and that monster had also eaten a bunch of other things besides him, tumbling everything in its stomach, trying to digest” - ooooh creepy!!! the red string thing... is cute.... also xie lian being able to see hua cheng’s butterfly vision by looking directly into his eye is kinda cool. and obviously homoerotic.

“Are lower-ranked heavenly officials below other people?” Quan Yizhen asked. “No,” Yin Yu replied. Were they not? It was obvious that he himself didn’t believe in his own words, and Quan Yizhen also noticed. A good while later, he said bluntly, “I don’t like it here.” Yin Yu said nothing.” - im having emotions. and then yin yu also saying he doesnt like it there either.... also idk how this scene is going to play out but as much as im enjoying quan yizhen being an icon i can also possibly see how yin yu could eventually get to the point of “i am tired of being nice. i do just want to go apeshit” even if he really cares about qyz. it happens </3

“Indeed,” Hua Cheng said. “Half a year later when Quan Yizhen actually ascends, he won’t find it so funny anymore.” “Can we watch that part too?” Xie Lian asked. “We can. Hold on,” Hua Cheng replied.” - quan yizhen king of taking things literally. also why did this turn into hualian having a movie night

jian yu seems like the kind of asshole who would purposely give someone regular soda when they specifically asked for diet soda. god yin yu is really having a bad day i really feel for him in the whole situation with the brocade immortal

awww okay at least jian yu tried to take responsibility. im still mad at him tho that was objectively a terrible idea. god this whole situation sucked :(

“Rocks and earth crushed at them from all around, forcing their bodies to press tightly against one another, their faces brushing, their ears warm. Although it wasn’t the right time, a thought flashed through Xie Lian’s mind: “‘To die buried together’ doesn’t feel so bad.” - okay... im kind of emotional.... gay people....

okay obviously these murals and the prince of wuyong have some connection (im guessing pretty direct) to xie lian and are important but everytime they start analyzing one i feel like im back in art history class fhadskfhskjdhf not that thats a bad thing!! i liked art history a lot tbh

“Don’t worry, they’re not human,” Hua Cheng said. “It’s precisely because they’re not human that we have to worry, alright….” Xie Lian thought.” - goth ghost bf problems

xie lian: well, there is one person i trust more than anyone else, someone who’s first in my mind hua cheng, oblivious: oh :/ xie lian, also oblivious: what? hua cheng: you shouldnt trust so easily its dangerous xie lian: oh. haha. yeah. well. wanna,,, know who it is? hua cheng: its :) fine :) it :) doesnt :) matter :) but of course you can tell me if you want to gege xie lian, internally: well now ive made it weird hua cheng, 5 minutes later: actually i need you to tell me. right now. its totally for your security me: gay people smh

“As they suspected, he had been captured by Qi Rong. Although no one was bound by ropes, there were balls of greasily green ghost fires hovering over every one of their heads.” - completely off track but anybody else remember the great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts song

“Could there actually come a day when Qi Rong was embarrassed that someone might see the manner in which he ate? Before Xuan Ji entered, she put Guzi down. Guzi, ta-ta-ta, ran in, rushing straight to Qi Rong’s side. But when he saw him, he pointed his finger. He cried, “Dad is eating bad things in secret again!” “I’m not!” Qi Rong retaliated.” SCREAM IS QI RONG LEARNING THE POWER OF LOVE NOOOO also god that poor man whose body he has im starting to doubt if he’ll ever be free jimmy novak flashbacks

everytime we get another ghost king power somewhere someone should be writing hua cheng the cyborg bf in a high tech futuristic au i think thats the only other potential setting that could truly capture this wild ride

“In truth, throughout history, there was no man in the world who didn’t love bragging. A breeze could blow the handkerchief of a brothel girl into a man’s hand, and he would turn around and say the most beautiful of renowned escorts had fallen in love with him; holding shoes and wiping benches for the emperor’s mistress’s uncle’s grandson’s cousin’s mistress would for sure become him being an important administrator at the residence of royal relatives, raising his status. Thus, men who didn’t brag were a rare species.” - SCREAM this is going in my favorite tgcf quotes folder god... mxtx come here let me shake your hand

read the story of rain master yushi huang’s ascension. why am i crying. also this bit im crying again me with my stuffed animals “Thus, while Yushi Huang was cultivating at the Temple of Yulong, every time when she went to seek water and passed that door, she would rub the head of that ox. The door knocker soaked in her essence of life, and when the Rain Master ascended, the ox ascended with her.”

okay thats enough for now i have 7 more chapters to book 4!!! woo!!!
