Other protals to hell
The best Mortal Kombat site out there
A great MK site
A renegade Japanese-born Lin Kuei warrior named Takeda returned to his homeland,
and offered his services to various lords and generals,
many of his skills and techniques were soon copied and learned throughout Japan,
eventually "evolving" into the art of Ninjitsu.
Unlike the Lin Kuei,
the art of Ninjitsu involves the use of weapons and magic's that can be mastered by any human with enough practice.
The Ninja never existed as a single collected clan,
but rather worked as a loosely connected spy network made up of several small clans,
the first Ninja clan was the Shirai Ryu, founded by Takeda himself,
making them instant foes of the Lin Kuei and Takeda a target for assassination.
Takeda became a respected warrior, leading a group of guards.
But Shang Tsung, with aspirations to kill Kung Lao,
send a magical and poisonous Scorpion to bite him, which altered his flesh and soul to that of pure evil.
Takeda became the undead Scorpion who eventually escaped Shang Tsung's control, holding allegiance with no one.
Sub-Zero and Scorpion both arrived at the Shaolin temples and soon confronted each other.
Scorpion was killed in the confrontation and Sub-Zero returned to Lin Kuei headquarters with the sacred Map of Elements,
suspicious of Quan Chi for retaining the services of a Shirai Ryu ninja.
Scorpion was given a chance by his demons to return to life in order to avenge his death,
but in doing so, he would lose his memory of his wife and child forever.
He chose to return, bent on revenge against Sub-Zero.
Scorpion, in the form of a reincarnated specter,
soon learned of Sub-Zero's intentions to compete in the Mortal Kombat Tournament,
and followed the Lin Kuei warrior onto the boat...
Like Sub-Zero, Scorpions true name and origin are not known by the most.
He has shown from time to time distrust and hatred towards Sub-Zero.
Between ninjas this is usually a sign of opposing clans.
But the true reason of Scorpion being hatred towards Sub-Zero is not what it seems.
Years ago Scorpion was marked for death by his Lin Kuei clan Sub-Zero killed him in fair combat,
where only one man could came out alive.
Scorpion died leaving a wife and child in his former life,
unprotected as he feared they also were a victim of Sub Zeros horrors.
But then...
Scorpion returns to the realm of earth...
Which allows him to avenge the death of his family in a tournament called Mortal Kombat.
When Sub-Zero and Scorpion eventually meet, Scorpions powers are too big for Sub-Zero,
when Scorpion has the chance to kill his sworn enemy,
he suddenly has the feeling that that this Sub-Zero could not be the man who killed his family and clan,
and he spares his life.
The hell-spawned specter rises from the pits.
After learning of Sub-Zero's return.
He again stalks the ninja assassin,
following him into the dark realm of the outworld where he continues his own unholy mission.
He again enters Shao Kahn's tournament for a second chance to avenge his death.
But now again he is not able to find the freezing ninja and fulfill his unholy quest,
with the avenge of the death of his family in this second Mortal Kombat tournament.
Scorpion disappeared from Sub-Zero's shadow.
Because of his death he got trapped in earth's Hell,
And in the pits of Hell he waits for his chance to rise up from them.
When Shao Kahn makes a failed attempt at stealing the souls which occupy the Hell of earth,
Scorpion is able to escape from the nether region.
Free to roam the earth once more Scorpion is enlisted by the emperor to aid him in his quest to destroy the chosen warriors.
For the third time Scorpion is not able to kill his sworn enemy Sub-Zero.
After the chosen warriors destroyed Shao Kahn with his allegiance,
earth is returned to normal For Scorpion this could only mean one thing... HELL.
Here he waits for another opportunity to find Sub-Zero and to put an end to his life.
In hopes of gaining Scorpion as an ally in the war against the elder gods,
Quan Chi makes the death ninja an offer he cannot refuse LIFE...
This in exchange for his services as a warrior against the elders Scorpion accepts but hides under ulterior motives.
When he finally faces his enemy Sub-Zero in the fourth (new) Mortal Kombat tournament,
his powers were not big enough to win.
Lying on the ground defeated by the freezing ninja he curses him for killing his family which sub-zero keeps denying.
This is when Quan Chi comes Quan tells them he was the real murderer of Scorpions family,
And that he needed the power of Scorpion to defeat Sub-Zero.
But as Quan Chi readies to kill the in battle weakened ice ninja himself,
Scorpion stands up from the ground and uses all his power,
he becomes so strong that Quan Chi's death is inevitable.
Finally the quest of the death ninja is over and so the chase after Sub-Zero.
