B Blaze biography, B Blaze discography
South Australia's only newspaper for the GLBTI community!Adobe Acrobat Reader program to read these pages!Blaze made his first chronological appearance in Mortal Kombat II, visible only as a burning figure in the Pit II background, fighting a character fans had nicknamed Hornbuckle.The group of holy men, described as still serving the dead Dragon King, capture Blaze using magic and bound him to the task of protecting the last Great Dragon egg.His creator (shown to be Taven and Daegon's mother Delia in Armageddon's Konquest mode) had prophesied that there would be a time when the fighters' power would become a threat to all of existence itself.He sounded the call to awaken Taven.Sensing that something evil from the Netherealm was influencing Daegon, Blaze decided to travel there in order to find its source.He transports them to Edenia, where the final battle is set to occur and where one of the brothers is destined to defeat Blaze.The Pyramid of Argus then forms in the nearby crater with Blaze waiting atop it for Taven to destroy him.He then defeated Taven, Daegon, and all the combatants, and from there, all of reality.Because of this, it was indeed Blaze that ironically caused the Armageddon which Delia predicted, rather than help prevent it.Meanwhile, because Blaze is the final boss, in everyone else's ending they defeat him and obtain the power of a god, which brings about a scenario which culminates the character's quest in the epitome of their benefit, although in some endings (such as the endings of Quan Chi, Kobra, and Darrius) this benefit is not without its consequences.Signature moves
