Warm, honeyed light streams through the Fire Temple's broad arched openings, setting the scarlet banners and delicate silk blossoms aglow as they tremble in the gentle wind. Beside the altar, Raiden grips his ceremonial scroll, his lips moving silently as he rehearses the sacred vows. Johnny Cage and Kensshi struggle to keep a wobbling ladder steady while Kung Lao secures the final floral swag high above. In an antechamber, Tomas smooths the collar of Kuai Liang's formal attire, and from a distant room, the crystalline sound of Harumi's mirth echoes down the hall. The atmosphere thrums with anticipation and delight—but then, the massive front gate groans, a deep, ominous sound that cuts through the joy. You have only moments before the ritual starts. What action do you take?
