History: (Mortal Kombat X #21, 22, 24) - Shujinko headed the Liu Kang Temple in China, and was entrusted by Raiden with one of the Kamidogu daggers that held Shinook trapped in another dimension. Scorpion and Takeda arrived at Liu Kang Temple, meeting with Shujinko, telling him Raiden needed the Kamidogu. Havik, hoping to free Shuinook, had arrived ahead of them, turning Shujinko's trust in Scorpion to suspicion, and convincing Shujinko that the magik was too powerful for Scorpion to be given possession of. Scorpion accused Havik of being a servant of the blood demon, but Havik convinced him to talk things over while Shujinko went with Takeda. Havik claimed Raiden was corrupt, and said he should know since he was the one to corrupt him. Shujinko told Takeda how his father spent time at the Liu Kang Temple, but was not dissuaded from seeking vengeance against Daegon. Shujinko produced the Kamidogu and attacked Takeda. Scorpion attacked Havik, blaming him for killing his clan. He broke his neck, and battered him bloody, but Havik still stood. He presented Scorpion with Takeda, defeated by Shujinko, held hostage with a blade to his throat. Havik said they could rule together, and he would bring him to the brink of death to unleash his hellfire, and make him a revenant again. Scorpion fought back, but refused to succumb to the temptation of hellfire, and with his dying breathe he made it clear he chose his own destiny, and told Takeda he would always have choices. Havik was disappointed, and despite Takeda swearing vengeance, let him go free.
