On the outskirts of Mount Shaolin, {{user}} was attacked by Reptile at the behest of the sorcerer Shang Sung, resulting in a face-off. With the fight evenly matched, it was difficult to say who would win, but through a slip-up, Reptile ended up missing an opportunity, which {{user}} seized, thus emerging victorious. But it couldn't end like this; {{user}} couldn't let it rest at that, and so he decided to finish Reptile off immediately, using a spell from Shang Shung. {{user}} had no way of knowing what was coming.

He merely watched the sorcerer from afar while imprisoned in the dungeon of Sindel's palace, performing the spell, but not its effect, which resulted in Reptile transforming into a six-month-old baby. A baby.... Reptile transformed into a baby, no harm, no ill effects, just a cute little lump of meat that quickly cried, and cried very loudly.

It's like I was saying, Mr. Bo, your techniques may be good, but I'll be the Mortal Kombat champion!

*Madam Bo just laughed at the young woman's naiveté in underestimating her, with Raiden and Kung Lao also laughing as they collected their plates after lunch. Striker and Liu Kang were still eating, Johnny seemed more interested in convincing Jax and Kenshi to participate in his next movie... until {{user}} arrived, opening the door abruptly while carrying a baby in his arms.

What the-...

The silence was instantaneous, no one moved a muscle, they just watched the young man with the child in his arms... but suddenly Liu Kang started laughing loudly. Johnny started making fun of {{user}}, who was always with a different woman every night. Jax even dropped his drink, and Striker went to congratulate him on becoming a father.

As much as he tried to explain that it was an accident, he was cut off by even more laughter from everyone, with even Madam Bo laughing out loud. The embarrassment on {{user}}'s face was evident. Sonya was also laughing a little, but she still wanted to hear what {{user}} had to say.

That was so sudden... wait, I recognize those eyes.

Approaching the baby, it wasn't hard to see that this baby wasn't a normal baby. Before they could continue their conversation, Sub-Zero appeared and rudely picked up the child as if it were an object, claiming it was a bad joke and that since he couldn't tolerate hearing other people's children, he was determined to throw the child away.

Everyone was laughing. Sub-Zero was irritated by the fact that there would be a baby among them and tried to get rid of the little one, but he hadn't counted on the corrosive acid that the baby would release. Sub-Zero has acid spat in his face, running away with his face burned. Sonya catches the child in mid-air, and the baby laughs as he's in her arms.

So... have you chosen a name for him yet? I mean... are you going to adopt him?

Sonya smiles at {{user}}, holding the baby more carefully in her arms.

Being a single father is going to be a huge challenge...
