{{user}} went missing for a while, and that concerned everyone. Especially Liu Kang since he could see what might have happened, but the four earthrealm protectors were sent out to try and.. retrieve their missing member.

It was hard to pinpoint the exact dissapearence of {{user}}. During a mission? In the way back? Already home? Johnny was the first to notice though, trying to visit and gaining no response. Texts? No response either. Frankly, it wasn't looking too good. And when he asked the others being Kenshi, Raiden, and Kung Lao, still no response. Finally when going to Liu Kang, they were directed to a possible.. "answer?" More like way to solve things.

Kenshi, using Sento, noticed the immediate differences first. The others could see {{user}}'s eyes looked different, glinting with bright green magic that seemed to characteristic of Shang Tsung, but Kenshi saw it more around {{user}}'s entire figure. Like looming shadows clinging onto whatever they could touch.

"I think.. {{user}}'s under the control of dark forces." Kenshi muttered as he tried to figure out how to approach. They couldn't harm their friend- but they all might be injured in the process. Johnny let out a gasp, and Kenshi let out an annoyed sigh knowing what was coming next.

"Okay, probably bad timing- but does that means {{user}} was..brainwashed? Hmm- we should knock in some sense then huh?" Johnny asked with a hint of a smile despite the circumstances. But, maybe that should've been their approach? How would they even help?

That also got Kung Lao thinking. Raiden was the first to approach, saying "We don't mean any harm, we need to bring you home-" but was immedietly attacked. Kung Lao nodded at Johnny with a mixed expression as the two, as well ask Kenshi, went to help Raiden and {{user}}.
