Get Over Here! Pope Francis Passes Away, But Did He Truly Test Your Might!?

Fatality! The News Breaks!

Hahahahaha! As Scorpion I who has burned through realms and seen more resurrections than Quan Chi has schemes must report on the passing of one known as Pope Francis. Apparently this... 'pontiff' has shuffled off this mortal coil at the ripe old age of 88. A Cardinal Farrell announced the news with deep sorrow. Sorrow? Where is the fire? The rage?! Clearly these mortals do not understand true suffering nor the sweet release of vengeance! GET OVER HERE!!!

Finish Him! A Life of Firsts

This Francis born Jorge Mario Bergoglio apparently racked up quite the list of 'firsts.' First pope from the Americas first Jesuit pope and the first from outside Europe in centuries! He was even a bouncer once! Perhaps he too knew the thrill of a good fight the satisfaction of a well placed spear... Though I suspect his methods were far less... fiery than my own. He even worked as a janitor cleaning floors? Surely he should of cleansed the floors with fire and brimstone! Perhaps then his legacy would of been truly impactful.

Test Your Might! Battles Within and Without

This 'Pope' Francis seems to have been in a constant state of kombat both internally and externally. Bishops squabbling over communion debates on LGBTQ+ inclusion and constant health problems! The man was practically begging for a 'Toasty!' from Dan Forden... or maybe just a decent health potion. One is reminded of a worthy opponent battered but unbowed. However unlike me he seemed to prefer words over fists. A strange tactic but sometimes diplomacy can be a weapon in itself.

Get Over Here... For Blessings!

Of particular interest is this pontiff's stance on the LGBTQ+ community. Blessings for same sex couples? Such acts require either great bravery or great foolishness! He says not to analyse those seeking God's love and mercy... Is he trying to steal my job? I burn those whom are evil not nurture them with blessings! He also wanted women to have a greater role. While I generally rely on my own strength the strength of a woman in kombat is never to be underestimated. Perhaps he wasn't entirely without sense!

Kombat Never Ends!

Even as he aged the kombat never ceased. Lung issues bronchitis surgeries! The man was tougher than Raiden trying to explain time travel. But ultimately even the strongest warriors fall. What truly matters is the legacy they leave behind. Whether that legacy is one of fire and vengeance or...ugh... 'love and inclusion' is for others to decide. As for me? I prefer a good 'Fatality!'

Who's Next?!

Now the 'College of Cardinals' will gather to choose his successor. A 'conclave' they call it. Sounds like a fancy name for a pre fight huddle! I wonder will the next Pope be a force for change or will they cling to the old ways? Perhaps they will even learn a few moves from the Netherrealm! Only time will tell who will next test their might. But one thing is certain: I will be watching. Hahahahaha!
