PAGE ONE
Panel 1: All of the kombatants on the beach.  Akira, Bao, Jiang, Shinsuke and Ishiro all look around the beach. Akira looks rather unimpressed
Akira: Wait so is the fighting taking place on a fucking beach? That's lame, I expected something grander!
Jiang: No, according to my dad this is just a point of entry for the fighters. We have to walk to the actual island
Bao: It isn't too far from here apparently. Uncle Bi-Han told me that when he fought here the first time it only took about ten minutes to reach the actual place
Akira: Oh. Well still, you'd at least expect a greeting party or some shit. These are elite fighters! You gotta ha-
Panel 2: Akira is interrupted as Asai smacks him on the back of the head hard
Akira: OW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!
Asai: I TOLD YOU NO CURSING LITTLE BRO!
Akira: I LITERALLY LEARNED IT FROM YOU!
Jade: That doesn't mean you're supposed to copy her behavior Akira. Your father and I raised you better than that 
Akira: Not you too mom!
Asai: Hah! Take that! 
Mariette: Dang, even your mom agrees Akira
Akira: Yeah yeah yeah!
Panel 3: Jade laughs and gives her son a motherly hug. 
Jade: You'll always be my baby Akira. No matter how old you get
Akira: Mom not in front of Mariette! 
Panel 4: Mariette laughs and playfully pokes Akira's cheek.  He blushes and turns his head 
Mariette: Why? Are you afraid I won't think you're tough?
Akira: S-shut up! 
Panel 5: Everyone laughs. We then cut to Scorpion, arms crossed, standing by a rock. Bi-Han is near him. They both turn their heads to face each other
Bi-Han:  Well would you look at this. The two of us, fighting on the same team
Scorpion: Your brother said the same thing. None of us expected this at all.  When you think about, we made it easy for Quan Chi to pit us against each other due to our clans hatred of each other at that time. He saw an opportunity and he seized it
Bi-Han: Indeed. We were easy pickings for his schemes.  But it won't happen again. 
Scorpion: We've put all of that behind us. I don't expect us to fully get along right away, but we at least share the same goal
Bi-Han: Indeed.  Had I known of Sektor's involvement in your clan's demise at that time, and the fact that the blame was being pinned on me, I would have confronted him about it. 
Scorpion: I can only hope you're being truthful about that 
Bi-Han: I am. I wasn't exactly the best person back then. I was never innocent and I won't ever  claim to be. However,  I'm trying to atone for those mistakes now
Scorpion: I can relate to you in that regard then
Bi-Han: Indeed 
Panel 6: We see Smoke and Brianna  on the beach. Brianna floats next to him. They hold hands 
Brianna: Honestly,  this place is really nice. Very calm and peaceful. If it wasn't for the fact that the tournament is coming up this would make for an amazing romantic walk with you
