Shang Tsung is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Quan Chi) of the 2020 crossover fanfic Mortal Kombat Vs. The Owl House written by Ordeaux26. He was once the right-hand to the emperor of Outworld Shao Kahn before being discarded. He was one of the many people mysteriously teleported to the Boiling Isles and formulates a plan to gain more and more power.
History[]
Shang Tsung’s history is mostly the same as the first 4 games (as the fic is set after the fourth game). He was the Right-Hand to the emperor of Outworld Shao Kahn but after numerous failures, he was locked up and tortured and eventually discarded by Shao Kahn.
During one day in Outworld, he along with everyone else in the realm was teleported to the Boiling Isles. He would meet up with a bully witch named Boscha Shang Tsung who would presumably sense how bad she was and manipulated her, convincing her that he could help her get revenge on the person who wronged her, which was Amity in this case. He and Boscha would ambush Amity who was with Kitana and attempt to kill both of them so Shang Tsung teleported them away.
After a quick encounter with Scorpion Shang Tsung would spot Liu Kang along with Luz Noceda and the Blight Twins. Shang Tsung overheard them talking about the portal leading back to Earthrealm so they decided to follow them.
This would eventually lead them to Emperor Belos’ castle where the portal was being rebuilt. Shang Tsung and Boscha ambush the three and end up defeating them, but they are able to escape just on time. Shang Tsung like he tends to do shows his true nature and betrays Boscha fighting and killing her and then absorbing her soul. He then enters the castle where he encounters a large group of the emperor’s coven. He mercilessly slaughters all of them and absorbs all of their souls. With his massive power boost, he enters the throne room and murders both Emperor Belos and Shao Kahn who had recently teamed up.
Quan Chi then enters the throne room and strikes up a deal with Shang Tsung they will work together to summon a massive Soulnado to absorb every soul in the realm and then split it 50/50. However, Shang Tsung naturally plans to betray Quan Chi and take every soul for himself and not only that he has an extra trick up his sleeve.
The two then begin their plan to create the soulnado handling Raiden when he tries to stop them. Liu Kang and Luz come to stop them, but by then it is too late Shang Tsung and Quan Chi end up fighting with them, but Shang Tsung gets a massive power boost from the Soulando which causes Quan Chi to flee. Though Shang Tsung ends up losing when the rest of the heroes show up as backup and Shang Tsung flees as well, leaving the Boiling Isles to be destroyed by the soulnado which, though luckily it ends up stopped.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- During his time as the Right-Hand to Shao Kahn he commited numerous atrocities for him.
- Manipulated Boscha by praying on her hatred and fully planned to discard her when she was no longer useful.
- Betrayed Boscha and murdered her stealing her soul in the process, nearly doing the same to Liu Kang before he waas saved by Luz.
- Massacured nearly the entire Emperor's Coven and stole their souls trapping them in eternal torment, before doing the exact same to Shao Kahn and Emperor Belos.
- Teams up with Quan Chi and plans to summon a massive soulnado to steal every soul in the Demonrealm, Shang Tsung also fully intendeds to betray Quan Chi once their partnership is no longer useful and take every soul for himself.
- While he can act Affable but it is made pretty clear that it is nothing more than an act he is willing to use to manipulate. His friendship with Quan Chi is little more than an opportunistic partnership and he plans to stab him in the back the first chance he gets.
