It's scorpion.

Why do you need to kill off all the characters anyway? Thats not what happened in MK1...

I agree. There is no need to kill all the characters especially in MK1. Only the first Sub Zero we know since MK1 came out needs to die. He got killed by Scorpion, whom Subby first killed as classified from MKM:SZ. Anyway, write about Scorpion's death and rebirth in the novel first.

Yes i agree characters dnt have to die...but how can u have them fight in mortal kombat without anyone dying. Someone in the book needs to die if only some other non named characters

There weren't only seven combatants in MK1's tournament. Actually, they were just the seven that survive.

It was an elimination tournament that must have had more than seven warriors. My advice is to create a tournament full of random warriors in addition to the main cast. These warriors are the ones that didn't make it; they lost their matches to the heroes and villains we play as in the game.
They're basically people who Scorpion and others slaughtered.


You shouldn't write until you are clear on the source material.
Also, I'm not too sure Mk is the easiest subject to write a novel on.
