Mortal Kombat: Deception
- Story
It was not by chance that this struggle
came to be. The blame falls squarely upon my shoulders for giving evil
the chance it needed, and therefore fulfilling an ancient prophecy.
Raiden's Earthrealm champions had failed to stop the Deadly Alliance
from fully resurrecting the mummified army of the Dragon King.
In the end only Raiden himself stood
between Earthrealm and total destruction. Defying the Elder Gods'
wishes, he alone challenged Quan Chi and Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat -
Earthrealm's last hope for freedom.
Raiden fought well against the two
sorcerers and it seemed as though victory was at hand. But the combined
might of Quan Chi and Shang Tsung proved to be overwhelming, even for a
Thunder God.
Raiden was defeated. The Deadly Alliance
had won.
Their victory was short-lived, as
suspicion and lust for power overcame both Quan Chi and Shang Tsung. The
former allies turned on each other. The Deadly Alliance was no more.
Quan Chi defeated Shang Tsung and reveled
in his konquest. But it is set that there is only one true ruler of
Outworld... and that ruler had returned...
Onaga - former emperor of Outworld - The
Dragon King.
Quan Chi: No, it can't
be.
The prophecy had been
fulfilled. The Dragon Ling had indeed returned to Outworld to reclaim
his Army and impose his dominance. Death awaited all who stood in his
way.
And so it was, that a new alliance was
formed out of desperation. Sworn enemies joined forces to combat a
greater threat.
Raiden began to realize that even their
combined might was not enough to defeat the Dragon King.
There was only one chance left.
Raiden's sacrifice was in vain - for the
blast had little effect on the Dragon King. Now Onaga has what he needs
to shape the realms as he sees fit.
I was the fool who brought him this power.
Only I can destroy this threat, born of deception.
