Cassie nods. "You've done more than enough for us already."
Liu Kang bows. "All the realms are now in your debt."
With this, the discussion begins. The leaders still left outside - Queen Sheeva, Empress Kitana, Baraka, and General Blade (who reacts to Trunks with her usual restraint but is clearly pleased to see him) - are all brought in to say their piece.
A consensus eventually emerges. The timeline as it was had resulted in a great victory for the forces of Good, so they should leave as many events intact as possible. To that end, the manner of Earthrealm's victory in Shao Kahn's invasion remained the same. Crucially, however, the magic which bound the deceased Earthrealmers as revenants changed. When Quan Chi died, they would revert to their human selves with no memory of their time in the Netherrealm.
Outworld, meanwhile, insisted on honoring the promises which were made during the struggle against the resurrected Shao Kahn. The Tarkatans would be destroyed, and the Shokan would retain their dignity and rights.
The crown and the shaping of the sands would be handed over to Raiden. Only those who remained in the chamber would remember what had occurred. Once they were finished, they would return to their rightful places.
As the final agreement is being reached, Cassie makes her way to the back of the chamber where Trunks is waiting. There's a clear look of intent in her eyes - after all, she hasn't really kissed him yet.
