Entry for Fimfiction's February Write Off of 2012.

When a mysterious ship appears in Equestria, the Cutie Mark Crusaders take the opportunity to get their cutie marks in sailing. Unfortunately, said ship belongs to the Outworld Emperor Shao Kahn, and is collecting combatants for the latest Mortal Kombat tournament. Now, Twilight Sparkle and her friends are forced to enter the tournament to save their friends and stop Kahn from taking over the world.

Crossover fic based loosely on the 1995 MK movie. Violence tends towards the comedic variety rather than hardcore blood and gore.
