#titan kitana had issues to deal with

[laz-262]

a meeting with old friends (or sth idk)

Of course! I thought you'd like it, especially with the Seidan!Suchin kameo! :D 💕

Hmmm, yeah, I never really put too much thought into the whole power dynamic with Liu and Kitana, probably cause the Kitana he loves is the Titan!Kitana, and I've been shipping MK1 Kitana with Countess Jade, but in any case I don't think I would see it as that much of an issue to be honest.

I think it would be a problem if Liu had made the changes he made with the goal to lead her to him, you know? Made the events in her life play out in a way that she would inevitably end up with him, to make her his. And he didn't. If anything, he used his powers in the most selfless way. He only wanted Kitana to have a loving family again.

Besides, Kitana didn't know he was a Titan for most of the time, only a god, and she never let this play any part in their relationship cause, you know, he's not even her god, lol!

She never let him have any power over her and I think that's a very important thing!

And I think the same applies to Hanzo and Lisa. Harumi is a Goddess, but "what's a God to a nonbeliever?" Hanzo never cared for gods and much less Lisa, they don't love her because she's a Goddess but because she's a Goddess who's actively doing her job and protecting her realm!

They love her because they respect her and she respects them and treats them as equals!

I don't mind if you disagree, but I can't find in myself to see it as a deal breaker tbh🫣

Also, I forgot to mention, but Harumi had zero intentions to fall in love with Hanzo and Lisa and vice versa, she just wanted them to live a happy life. But you know, you can he the ✨️almighty Titan✨️ but you can't control love, lol! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now moving on to the cool things:

Awww, thank you, you're so sweet!!🥹💕 my journey to protect these girls started with Harumi, I felt it would be fitting if she ended up saving them!🩷

I'd definitely be down to write more of the Satoshi/Frost/Leizi Trio! I made some initial brainstorming of them in other realities here, but they definitely need some polishing, lol!

They're becoming a Canon Event, lmao!🤭

°.✦

I'll take any opportunity to put a crown on Jataaka's head, she was meant to be queen😌💅🏾 And yes! Your research is being put to good use! Suchin's no longer just the Bitch With The Blade, she's the IMORTAL Bitch With The Blade! >:D

Of course Lisa's here! She's Harumi's soulmate, they always find their way back to each other!🥹🩵🩷

• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •

Glad you enjoyed most of it! I always have the most fun writing my girls!

I'll be sure to tag you! Specially when I write down that Satoshi/Frost/Leizi Trio content!👀💕(this Trio needs a name though, lol! Suggestions are welcomed and appreciated😅)

What if Harumi was a keeper of time? The question that I could think of off the top of my head is what's gonna happen to her husband(s)? her son? What if Satoshi is the chosen one, aka her version of Liu Kang??

Hey Jasper! 💕 I'm sorry, this ask is a bit old, but I hope you're still interested in an answer!

Well, the question that comes for me first is "how would Harumi become a Time Keeper?"

I know one thing: if a Harumi is to become a Time Keeper, it has to be a Harumi Hasashi instead of a Harumi Shirai!

Because don't take me wrong, Harumi Shirai would make a GREAT Time Keeper, but Harumi Hasashi would simply have the most FASCINATING journey!

Starting with how she would be inserted into the story: Kronika bringing her from the past! More specifically, during the Shirai Ryu massacre, right after Satoshi's death but before hers!

Why that moment specifically?

Because Harumi is not Hanzo. She is a fierce protector, yes, but she's not easy driven by her emotions and can not be easily manipulated by them.

Harumi is actually great at seeing through manipulation and helping people see the truth and reason even in the middle of conflict!

In Khaos Reigns, Harumi could tell Cyrax was being manipulated and pushed against them. She could see Bi-Han moving the strings, and she would see Kronika too!

Harumi in her right mind is dangerous. So Kronika would need her disoriented and vulnerable, and during the massacre would be the perfect time.

That would've been a smart move from Kronika, but not so smart to place her on the same team as Noob Saibot. Cause the guy just won't shut up about his death!

"Stupid Scorpion! Stupid misunderstanding! Killed by mistake, can you believe it?? Me, Lin Kuei's greatest warrior! If I knew you would've given me this much trouble, Mrs Hasashi, I would've ACTUALLY killed you!"

And Harumi would listen to it all. Thoroughly.

She would learn how she and Satoshi and even Bi-Han are just little pawns on a bigger game. Kronika's game. And that would make her furious!

Because "What do you mean my son's LIFE was just an event on someone else's life? Just something to be used over and over again in your little stories??" Unacceptable!

Harumi decided she was done being Kronika's disposable doll and that she would put an end to this madness!

She joined forces with Noob Saibot and Kronika's conflicted daughter, Cetrion, who lent her godly powers to Harumi, so the Shirai Ryu could defeat the mad Titan!

Harumi felt bad for tricking Noob and taking full control of the Hourglass before he could. But she made the solemn promise of being kind to him in her New Era.

• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •

While knitting together her own Timeline, Harumi kept thinking about her role in the previous one. An event on someone else's life. Someone's disposable doll.

And she wondered to herself how many others suffered from the same fate. Who else was just someone's wife, someone's mother, sister, ally, subordinate.

She found a few names. Suchin. Lisa Liang. Sareena. Kia. Jataaka.

Women just like her, with fates so similar to hers.

Except now she has the power to change her fate and she would make sure to change theirs too! She would be their protector, and give them the chance to be more this time around!

• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •

In her New Era, Harumi is the Goddess of Nature (a gift from Cetrion). She fell in love with Hanzo once again and Satoshi was born a Half God.

Satoshi was destined to be her champion, so from a young age he was taught how to handle his powers! His mentor was Cetrion, who also mentored a Half Goddess named Leizi (or Kidd Thunder as she'd rather be called).

• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •

With her new powers, Harumi saved her clan by killing those who conspired against it!

She killed Sektor and Bi-Han became the new Grandmaster alongside with his siblings, Kuai Liang and Lisa Liang!

A kinder fate, as she promised.

And by killing Quan Chi, she gave the Demoness Jataaka the opportunity to start a revolution in Netherrealm, backed up by her sisters, Sareena and Kia, and she became the first Demonborn to rule Netherrealm!

After practically handing over the Lin Kuei to the Sub-Zero siblings, Harumi suggested an alliance that was accepted somewhat easily!

It was through this alliance that Lisa became close acquainted to the now divorced Nature Goddess!

And it was also how she came to meet Frost. Grandmistress and Goddess worked together to dismantle a Black Dragon's base and Frost was in one of their illegal fighting rings!

Lisa took Frost under her wing and it was only a matter of time until the young Cryomancer met Satoshi and Leizi and joined them in their adventures to protect Earthrealm!

• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •

Now you must be wondering what happened to Suchin!

Don't worry, Harumi did not forget about her! But she had to be creative to save her.

Suchin has Seidan ancestry and when Seidans get in touch with Chaos Magic they develop miraculous healing powers!

In the previous Timeline, Suchin died without even knowing of her ancestry, in this one, however, Harumi made sure to get her in touch with Chaos Magic. Just the smallest bit though, just enough to remain dormant within Suchin until it was needed.

When Suchin woke up, completely confused and disoriented, with her bullet wound still healing, she did not even questioned how was she still alive. She just got up and rushed to find her son! (Who is under Hanzo's care)

• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •• °.✦.° •

Aaaaaand that's it! My take on Time Keeper Harumi, Goddess of Nature and Protector of all Girlies!🌺

And in case you're wondering what an Order of Darkness Titan Harumi would look like, all I can tell is that not only she would kill Kronika, but Hanzo too!💀

Cause you know, her and her son's painful deaths, along with the deaths of everyone she knew and loved, happened so his story could keep going. They all died for him. And she would not take that lightly!

That would be tragic, surely, but I can only imagine what it would be like if this Harumi met Invasions!Hanzo, who thinks her life is worthy only when it belongs to him!

Ooooooooh, she would've DESTROYED him! And honestly, I'm here for it! >:]

Oh, and she would also dedicate herself to protect her fellow doomed by the narrative ladies, but her approach would be more like:

"Oh, so she dies so your story can keep going! What if I ended your story here so hers can keep going?"

RIP Hanzo, Kenshi, the Sub-Zero bros, and most likely a whole lot of men💀
