He along with his brother Daegon were put into a stasis of sort and were being watched over by a dragon for each of them. The dragon Orin is the protector of Taven. In the newest era of Mortal Kombat, Armagedden, starts with a contest between Taven and his brother set by their father to save the realms from Armagedden. Their task was to find and defeat the fire elemental Blaze. The winner would succeed their father's place and become a full god and the protector of Edenia. They would also decide the fate of the other warriors of the realms. When Taven is awakened by his dragon he finds out that his brother woke up prematureable many millenia ago and that he had become corrupted. He learnes from Caro, Daegon's Dragon Protector, that Daegon killed their parents and formed what is now known as the Red Dragon clan in order to find Blaze and kill Taven. Eventually Taven and Daegon meet in battle near an edge of the cliff where Armagedden is said to begin. Taven emerges as the victor, killing his brother in the process. The Pyramid of Argus then rises nearby, Taven then fights his way to the topwhere he has to fight Blaze. He finds out that his victory will have one of two endings, all of the kombatants loss their abilities or they all die. Taven then defeats Blaze in Mortal Kombat. in the end however, something happens. None of the two possible endings happen. His victory over blaze, increases the powers of the nearby Kombadants. As a result Taven makes it his duty as a new good to delay Armageddon until a solution can be found. ========================================================== VI: :::: :::: :::::::: ::: ::: :::::::::: :::::::: +:+:+: :+:+:+ :+: :+: :+: :+: :+: :+: :+: +:+ +:+:+ +:+ +:+ +:+ +:+ +:+ +:+ +:+ +#+ +:+ +#+ +#+ +:+ +#+ +:+ +#++:++# +#++:++#++ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ #+# #+# #+# #+# #+#+#+# #+# #+# #+# ### ### ######## ### ########## ######## ========================================================== ~~Controls~~ Button Number PS2 Xbox Attack #1 1 Square X Attack #2 2 Triangle Y Attack #3 3 X A Attack #4 4 Circle B Change Style CS L1 L Block BL R2 R Throw TH R1 Black Pick-Up Weapon PW L2 White Back B L/R L/R Forward F L/R L/R Up U Up Up Down D Down Down ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _____ _ _ _____ / ____| | | | | | __ \ | | __ ___ | | __| | | | | |_ __ __ _ __ _ ___ _ __ | | |_ |/ _ \| |/ _` | | | | | '__/ _` |/ _` |/ _ \| '_ \ | |__| | (_) | | (_| | | |__| | | | (_| | (_| | (_) | | | | \_____|\___/|_|\__,_| |_____/|_| \__,_|\__, |\___/|_| |_| __/ | |___/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Face Hit -----------------1 Chin Elbow ---------------B+1 Thigh Punch --------------D+1 Crushing Elbow -----------2 Head Crusher -------------B+2 Hammer Uppercut ----------D+2 Turning Kick -------------3 Forceful Leg -------------B+3 Back Sweep ---------------D+3 Long Range Ankle Strike --4 Spinning Dragon ----------B+4 Front Sweep --------------D+4 Twisting Elbow -----------1,1 2-Hit Pain ---------------2,3 Helmet Punch -------------1,1,1 Face Blaster -------------1,1,B+1 Funky Spins --------------1,1,2 Power Foot ---------------1,1,3 Dragonkin ----------------1,1,2,CS --While in the Air-- Ambush -------------------1 Danger Swipe -------------2 Psycho Spin --------------3 Over Head Air Toss -------4 Downward Swat ------------1,1 Tornado Twist ------------3,3 Take Off -----------------1,1,1 Tear Down ----------------1,1,2 Monsoon ------------------1,1,3 Down Slash ---------------3,3,1 Flying Human -------------3,3,2 Whipcrack ----------------1,1,4 Air Sails ----------------3,3,3 Flicker ------------------3,3,4 Throwdown ----------------1,1,3,4 Splashdown ---------------3,3,1,1 Sailing Away -------------1,1,3,3 Sinking Hero -------------3,3,1,4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ____ _ _ | _ \ _ __ __ _| | _____ _____ _____ _ __ __| | | | | | '__/ _` | |/ / _ \/ __\ \ /\ / / _ \| '__/ _` | | |_| | | | (_| | < __/\__ \\ V V / (_) | | | (_| | |____/|_| \__,_|_|\_\___||___/ \_/\_/ \___/|_| \__,_| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dragon Slice -------------1 Fast Head Blow -----------B+1 Thigh Slash --------------D+1 Upward Swing -------------2 Swing Blast --------------B+2 2-Handed Uppercut --------D+2 Overhead Slash -----------3 Leg Trip -----------------B+3 Foot Chopper -------------D+3 Power Kick ---------------4 Toe Hook -----------------D+40 Does It Hurt -------------1,1 Chop It Up ---------------2,2 Head Blades --------------2,2,1 Angry Edge ---------------1,1,3 Drake Power --------------1,1,4 Furious Pain -------------2,2,1,1 --While in the Air-- Powerhouse ---------------1 Lucky Change -------------2 Long Legs ----------------3 Spinning Feet Grab -------4 Face Kicked --------------1,1 Wind Kick ----------------3,3 Vicious Boots ------------1,1,1 Back Flip Kick -----------1,1,2 Licky Wind ---------------1,1,3 Flip Back ----------------3,3,2 Foot Grab ----------------1,1,4 Boot to the Face ---------3,3,3 Heel Toss ----------------3,3,4 Guiding Light ------------1,1,3,3 Foot Assault -------------1,1,3,4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ____ _ _ __ __ / ___| _ __ ___ ___(_) __ _| | | \/ | _____ _____ ___ \___ \| '_ \ / _ \/ __| |/ _` | | | |\/| |/ _ \ \ / / _ \/ __| ___) | |_) | __/ (__| | (_| | | | | | | (_) \ V / __/\__ \ |____/| .__/ \___|\___|_|\__,_|_| |_| |_|\___/ \_/ \___||___/ |_| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gold Dragon Lock - TH Inner Fire - D,F+1 - Taven blasts a fireball at his opponent.
