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 possessed the amulet...", the army would obey 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 the Earth.
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 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.
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 about the room. Quan Chi came to the realization that if Kano
could so easily kill 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!!
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 Netherealm. 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 they 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.
Upset by the way his adventures had been portrayed in the past, Johnny
Cage found a loophole in his contract and leaves MCM Studios during the
production of "Mortal Combat: 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 its first weekend in theatres
and made Johnny Cage extremely wealthy. The movie told the true story of
how Johnny single-handedly saved the world from the threat of Quan Chi
and Shang Tsung's Deadly Alliance.
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 Netherealm will spew forth a legion of Oni. Even the vampire
peoples pose a threat to peace now that Outworld is in chaos. But one
thing is for 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.
While in Outworld, the demon known as Sareena encountered Sub-Zero. Since
she had freed his brother from his confines of the Netherealm so many
years ago, Sub-Zero offered her asylum within the Lin Kuei. His
compassion may be honorable, but befriending a demon of the Netherealm
is not an action without risk...
As Sub-Zero may soon discover.
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.
For many years Mavado's Red Dragon clan had been secretly engineering the
destruction of their rivals' clan, The Black Dragon. Through careful
manipulation Mavado had used the Special Forces to unwittinly 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.
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.
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!
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.
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 Netherealm. In the battle that ensued, Drahmin lept at
Quan Chi and both kombatants stumbled into the Inner Sanctum Chamber.
Moments later, Drahmin emerged altered from his previous form.
The allied forces of princess Kitana and prince Goro were locked in Mortal
Kombat with Shao Kahn's army when Noob Saibot made his move on an
unsuspecting and battle-weary prince Goro. The two fought savagely, but
it was Noob Saibot who gained the upper hand and mortally wounded Goro.
Sektor succeeded in finding new recruits
willing to undergo the process to become cyborgs and secretly created a
home base for his new clan in Japan. Like a virus, Sektor's new faction
of ninjas grew in number and their presence in that nation become cause
for alarm. Soon all of Japan would be controlled by the Tekunin.
