guard and then defeats Shao Kahn. But before the Earth can return
to normal, Tsung takes all the souls as his own. He will forever
rule the Earth with his own brand of evil.

cyborg assassins with the help of Smoke and finds it takes all of his
own inner strengths to defeat Kahn and his Outworld minions. The former
ninja once again disappears into the shadows, his legacy known only by a
select few.

When the Lin Kuei decide to automate their warriors the two attempt to escape. While Sub-Zero successfully eluded capture, Smoke did not.
