Final Kombat (Con't VII)

A lot of deep thinking goes on here. From Aiko, Caro and Kung Lao discussing with Raiden on Shinnok tapping her heart gems, to Edenia where the Resistance discuss battle strategies with Liu and Kitana, to discarding the heart gems and saving them for Armageddon, to Raiden dissecting the cryptic message with Fujin, and finally Orin moving Taven's quest forward despite knowing it's a setup. Not to mention, unlike Armageddon, the dragons're alive and reunite!
