Mortal Kombat 3
- Story
 |
You have been chosen
to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat.
Be warned. Although your souls are protected against Shao Kahn's
evil: your lives are not. I cannot interfere any longer as your
earth is now ruled by the Outworld gods.
These are the words
of Raiden. |
For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against the
Outworld's emperor Shao Kahn. But, Kahn becomes frustrated by failed
attempts at taking Earth through tournament battle. He enacts a
plan which began 10, 000 years ago.
During this time Kahn had a queen. Her name was Sindel and her young death
was unexpected. Kahn's shadow priests, lead by Shang Tsung, make it so
Sindel's spirit would someday be reborn: not on the Outworld but on the
Earth realm itself.
This unholy act gives Shao Kahn the power to step through the dimensional
gates and reclaim his queen. Thus enabling him to finally seize the
Earth.
Upon breaching the portal into Earth, Shao Kahn slowly transform the
planet into part of Outworld itself.
Kahn strips the Earth of all human life:
Claiming every soul as his own.
But there are souls which Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the
warriors chosen to represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat.
The remaining humans are scattered through out the planet. Shao Kahn sends
an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and eliminate them.
After the first tournament Sonya Blade turned up missing. Jax then
embarked on a rescue mission into the Outworld. He found Sonya being
held captive with her nemesis Kano. In freeing Sonya, Jax also frees
Kano. Kano then uses the chance to escape arrest.
The ultimate advancement in Lin Kuei technology comes with the creation of
the first cyber-assasin. They begin converting their human ninjas into
soulless machines. But Sub-Zero refuses to take part and is marked for
death by his own clan.
After wining the first Mortal Kombat and escaping from the Outworld, Liu
Kang looks to the future. He begins training a new generation of Shaolin
alongside Kung Lao. But nothing could prepare them for the unexpected
Outworld invasion.
