The 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 world 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 realm.
Upon breaching the Portal into Earth, Shao Kahn slowly transforms the planet
into a part of the Outworld itself.
He then 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 throughout the planet.
Shao Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and eliminate them.
