Bo' Rai Cho
Bo' Rai Cho looked gruff, but beamed inwardly. With their victory over the Deadly
Alliance complete, he and Kung Lao had liberated Outworld from its latest threat.
Despite the years that had passed since training his last student, his skills had
proven useful once more. He was elated, but it would be most inappropriate to express
such emotions in front of his newest apprentice.
Kung Lao invited his master to return with him to Earthrealm, to teach more warriors
at the Wu Shi Academy. The success of his apprentice gave him renewed confidence
in his training skills and, for the first time, a clear purpose in life. Bo' Rai
Cho offered only token resistance. He accepted the offer because the defenders of
Earthrealm could certainly use his help. But more importantly, because Earthrealm's
rice wine put Outworld's liquor to shame.Johnny Cage
Upset by the way his adventures had been portrayed in the past, Johnny Cage found
a loophole in his contract and left MCM studios during the production of "Mortal
Kombat: The Death of Johnny Cage". He then used his own money to fund the production
of his next movie, which is rumored to be the true story of his latest adventures
in Outworld.
"Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance" broke all records in its first weekend
in theaters, and made Johnny Cage extremely wealthy. The movie told the true story
of how Johnny Cage single handedly saved the world from the threat of Quan Chi and
Shang Tsung's deadly alliance.Kano
Kano and Sonya had fought before. Although Kano was humiliated by his defeat at
her hands so many years ago, this time the outcome would be different...
Kano had stolen Quan Chi's amulet at the request of Shang Tsung. With the amulet
in his possession, Kano came to the realization that he was now in total control
of the revived undefeatable army. Rather than hand the amulet and the army over
to Shang Tsung, Kano kept them for himself, and used the army to ambush Sonya, ending
their long rivalry once and for all.Kenshi
Kenshi had finally caught up with Shang Tsung in Outworld. Years ago, Kenshi had
been manipulated into releasing the souls of his warrior ancestors. Shang Tsung
had consumed those souls and left Kenshi to die in the tomb. The ordeal left Kenshi
blinded, but the sword of his ancestors led him out of the depths.
To redeem himself, Kenshi had vowed to free his ancestors from their captor. He
cut Shang Tsung down with his ancestral sword and a blast of souls was instantly
released. The spirits of the warrior kings reentered the sword as Kenshi held it
above his head. His duty fulfilled, he could now return to Earthrealm.Kung Lao
Rage fueled Kung Lao's thirst for revenge. The memory of holding his fellow monk's
broken body on the lei tai of the Wu Shi Academy grounds consumed him as he rained
blow after blow down upon Shang Tsung. Kung Lao had finally mastered the attack
Bo' Rai Cho had taught him. The sorcerer could not withstand his whirlwind assault.
Shang Tsung begged for mercy. Kung Lao granted him none.
Upon his return to Earthrealm, Kung Lao stood before the modest shrine to Liu Kang
which had been erected by the Wu Shi initiates during his absence in Outworld. He
lit a stick of incense and placed it among the others already burning there. He
bowed his head and prayed for safe passage to the afterlife for his friend and brother.
With Shang Tsung's death, Liu Kang's spirit could rest peacefully. Earthrealm was
safe once more, but at terrible cost. The work of the White Lotus society had become
more important than ever.Li Mei
Li Mei had been promised that her people would be freed from enslavement if she
could win the tournament held by the Deadly Alliance. Now that she had emerged victorious,
the true purpose behind the tournament was finally revealed to her. Her soul would
be the last one Shang Tsung needed to completely revive the Dragon King's lost army.
Her people would never be freed and Li Mei herself would remain trapped inside the
mummified remains of a dead soldier... cursed to serve the Deadly Alliance... forever.Mavado
For many years Mavado's Red Dragon clan had been secretly engineering the destruction
of their rivals, the Black Dragon. Through careful manipulation, Mavado had used
the Special Forces to unwittingly aid them in this task. In return for eliminating
Kenshi for the Deadly Alliance, Mavado was finally granted his battle with the last
known member of the Black Dragon: Kano. After a long, brutal fight, Mavado emerged
victorious and all traces of the Black Dragon had been erased.
Impressed with the fighting skill and discipline of Mavado as well as other members
of his clan, Quan Chi realized the potential the Red Dragon held for staging the
eventual invasion of Earthrealm. In return for their continued assistance, he offered
crucial information about a new threat to Mavado's Red Dragon clan... the Lin Kuei.Quan Chi
The Deadly Alliance was successful in reviving the mummified remains of the Dragon
King's undefeatable army. It would appear that nothing could stand in the way of
Shang Tsung and Quan Chi as they began their domination of the realms. Unfortunately
for Shang Tsung, however, Quan Chi had no further need for the partnership. Once
Shang Tsung had finally revived the last of the mummified warriors, Quan Chi closed
the portal to The Heavens and effectively shut off Shang Tsung's endless supply
of souls. Quan Chi then instructed Kano to assassinate Shang Tsung in a surprise
weapon attack. With their captor cut wide open, the thousands of souls Shang Tsung
had consumed in the past spewed forth and swirled around the room.
Quan Chi came to the realization that if Kano could so easily turn on Shang Tsung,
he could also turn on Quan Chi himself. Quan Chi used his sorcery to drain the life
from Kano and left his body where it fell. Immediately one of the lingering souls
shot into Kano's body. To Quan Chi's surprise, the man standing before him was no
longer the Black Dragon thug known as Kano. Kano's body now contained the soul of
the Shaolin monk... Liu Kang.Scorpion
The hunt for Quan Chi had led Scorpion to the palace of Shang Tsung. Scorpion entered
the palace through a hidden passage. As he made his way through the lower levels,
he was discovered by the two Oni he had previously encountered while in the Netherrealm.
Shang Tsung had secretly allied with Moloch and Drahmin as a backup defense against
Quan Chi. The two Oni had been hidden in an underground chamber and were periodically
fed mortals to keep them satisfied.
Scorpion fought well but was overpowered by Moloch and Drahmin. Although the could
not consume the ninja spectre, they devised another means for eliminating their
foe that would satisfy their cruel nature. The Oni brought Scorpion before the portal
to The Heavens that Shang Tsung had tapped as a source of limitless souls. They
hurled him into the Soulnado and his hellspawn body was ripped apart by the purity
of that realm.Shang Tsung
The Deadly Alliance was successful in reviving the mummified remains of the Dragon
King's undefeatable army. Shang Tsung, however, began to realize that his relevance
in the partnership had evaporated once his talents for soul transplantation were
no longer needed. The balance of power within the Deadly Alliance had seemingly
been undone. Fearing betrayal, he secretly instructed Kano to steal Quan Chi's amulet
in an attempt to gain control of the army. Since part of the soul-transfer spell
included the command to obey 'He who possesses the amulet,' the army would obey
only Shang Tsung, and not Quan Chi, once the amulet was in his possession.
Amulet in hand, Shang Tsung revealed his betrayal to Quan Chi and commanded the
army to destroy the sorcerer. Shang Tsung would succeed where others had failed.
He would conquer the realms. He would conquer Earth.Sonya
After the destruction of the Deadly Alliance, Sonya searched for the missing Special
Forces agent Kenshi. She finally discovered him badly beaten and near death apparently
from hook-like wounds in his ribcage. She managed to return him to the rendezvous
point where I transported them back to Earthrealm.
Upon her return, Sonya was promoted to General and giver her choice of command.
She hand-picked a team to deal with new terrorist threats located on Earth. While
in Outworld, Special Agent Kenshi had learned of a new threat to peace. The Red
Dragon had awakened.Sub-Zero
After defeating the Deadly Alliance, Sub-Zero returned to the new temple of the
Lin Kuei with the severely injured ninja Frost.
A short time later, I visited the temple to commend him for his victory in Outworld
and to express my gratitude for all his assistance. With Sub-Zero now the Grand
Master of the Lin Kuei, Earthrealm will be well protected.Cyrax
The enormous heat and pressure of the lava burned out Cyrax's sensors almost immediately.
He cast about blindly in the infernal pit, searching for the orb Nitara had sent
him to locate. Cyrax found it resting upon a small submerged pedestal beneath the
molten depths. As soon as he clambered to the surface, she demanded he hand over
the Orb.
Nitara had promised to return Cyrax to Earthrealm once the orb had been retrieved.
Taking her necklace in hand, she uttered a mystical incantation. A swirling portal
opened around Cyrax and he only had time for a solemn bow before he was swept into
the gateway.Drahmin
Sent by the sorcerer Shang Tsung, the two Oni known as Drahmin and Moloch confronted
Quan Chi, enraged that he had tried to leave them stranded in the bowels of the
Netherrealm. In the battle that ensued, Drahmin leapt at Quan Chi and both kombatants
stumbled into the Inner Sanctum Chamber.
Moments later, Drahmin emerged from the chamber altered from his previous form.Frost
As they traveled back to the portal that would return them to Earthrealm, Sub-Zero
revealed to Frost that she had been an integral part in the destruction of the Deadly
Alliance, and that he was proud to have her as a member of the Lin Kuei clan. But
unknown to Sub-Zero, Frost's true intention for joining the Lin Kuei was to become
Grand Master herself. She used her ice blast to temporarily immobilize him and ripped
the Dragon Medallion from his chest.
As she held the medallion, she felt power surge through her body. Lacking the strength
and discipline required to control the medallion's immense power, she was consumed
by her own freezing ability.Hsu Hao
Hsu Hao reported to his superior, Mavado, and informed him of his success in destroying
the Special Forces Outerworld Investigation Agency. Mavado then informed Hsu Hao
of his next objective...
It seemed that Quan Chi was proving to be a powerful ally and was willing to aid
the Red Dragon in its quest for domination of Earth. In a show of good faith, Mavado
agreed to destroy Quan Chi's enemies. The sorcerer suspected betrayal from Shang
Tsung. There was evidence that Shang Tsung had allied with the two Oni known as
Moloch and Drahmin. Hsu Hao's new orders were to eliminate the sorcerer Shang Tsung
before the Oni eliminated Quan Chi.Jax
Jax had a score to settle with the traitor he knew as Hsu Hao. Now revealed to be
a member of the Red Dragon, Hsu Hao had infiltrated the Special Forces Outerworld
Investigation Agency and destroyed it with a miniature nuclear weapon.
Making good on his promise, Jax eventually caught up with Hsu Hao and ripped the
implant from his chest in retribution. Hsu Hao died a most painful death.Kitana
Kitana's longtime enemy Shao Kahn was dead, and the alliance between Shang Tsung
and Quan Chi was defeated with the help of warriors from Earthrealm. Although there
was peace once more throughout the realms, all was not right for Kitana. Saddened
by the death of Goro, she attended a ceremony in the Kuatan palace to honor her
fallen friend and ally.
Following Shokan tradition, Prince Goro's body was lowered into the molten rock
contained within the throne room itself. As Kitana said goodbye to her war time
ally, she also held a moment of silence for Liu Kang and secretly wished he had
joined her in Edenia so many years ago.Nitara
After what seemed like an eternity, Cyrax finally emerged from the lava, holding
the Orb that had bound Nitara's realm to Outworld for ages. At last it was within
her grasp. She would be able to free her people from Shao Kahn's imprisonment. Fulfilling
her end of the bargain, she sent Cyrax back to his Earthrealm home in exchange for
the Orb.
Nitara stared into the Orb. It seethed with the power trapped within. She raised
it above her head, and then smashed it to the floor. It shattered with an inhuman,
soul-rending howl. Its horrible energy exploded away, and tore her consciousness
from her. She awoke later for the first time on her native soil.Raiden
Once again, the threat to Earthrealm has been vanquished. The Deadly Alliance is
no more. What dangers lie in the future, I can no longer foresee. Perhaps the Dragon
King will, in fact, return. Perhaps the depths of the Netherrealm will spew forth
a legion of Oni. Even the Vampire people pose a threat to peace now that Outworld
is in chaos. But one thing is certain... Earthrealm must be protected.
I have abandoned my status as Elder God to aid these mortals... an act defiant of
the Heavens. I will instead remain here on Earth... as GOD OF THUNDER.Reptile
Despite the strong sulphurous stench that filled the chamber, Reptile could smell
that Nitara and Cyrax had been there recently. There was no sign of them now, except
for some scattered glass shards and a residual trace of strong magical energies.
His revenge would have to wait.
Suddenly an expectant hush filled the chamber as energy cascaded around what appeared
to be a dragon embryo. The tiny dragon stretched and the egg cracked. A beam of
energy ripped out from inside and lanced into Reptile. His world was filled with
roaring power as his squamous body was twisted and transformed. The ancient prophecy
had been fulfilled: the Dragon King had returned.
Hidden Characters:
Blaze
Having been enslaved through sorcery to guard the molten incubation chamber, Blaze
was finally freed once the dragon egg had hatched.
He then resumed the quest he had undertaken before being subdued by his captors.Mokap
Mokap Man was the primary martial arts talent for motion capture during the production
of Johnny Cage's movie based on recent events in Outworld.
He was referred to the game designers at Midway Games and used in the production
of the Video Game adaptation of the movie. The End.
