Ashrah
Noob Saibot was not originally a demon, which might explain why Ashrah sensed
such great evil in him: he had to earn his place in the Netherrealm. He actually
desired to remain there. His companion, however, seemed to be having a problem
adjusting. Perhaps there was some good left in the cyborg. Whatever the case,
Noob would have to face Ashrah alone.
Ashrah defeated Noob Saibot and finally earned her ascension from the
Netherrealm. But the sword that made her escape possible did not travel with
her. I suspect it still remains in the Netherrealm, waiting to release another
of its denizens from damnation.
Baraka
Baraka assumed that the treacherous Mileena had given her armies a powerful
magic. They fought with savage brutality, but he could not stop their advance.
He vowed that Mileena would pay for her betrayal. Baraka's warrior brought word
that she had agreed to meet him at an ancient lair, but Baraka was no fool... He
sent another in his place...
Baraka's scouts reported that the Earthrealm warrior Sub-Zero was near. He
allowed his remaining militia to deal with him and sent off to ambush Mileena.
He knew by the scent of Tarkatan blood on her clothes that she had already
killed the one he had sent to meet her. But her sense of smell was not as keen
as a true Tarkata's. She was unaware of Baraka's presence. He barked her name,
and when she turned to face him... he tore her apart.
Blaze
Blaze had completed the first of his duties. Soon he will begin the second: to
lure warriors to the Final Battle. There they will challenge him, hoping to
attain godlike power from his defeat.
The arrogance of these warriors will be their downfall, for only a son of Edenia
can unleash the true purpose of Blaze.
Bo' Rai Cho
Onaga seemed invincible. The races of Outworld were in disagreement on how to
deal with this threat, and Baraka's hordes were sweeping the land. Bo' Rai Cho
had almost given up hope when he was visited by the spirit of his greatest
student, Liu Kang. Their roles now reversed, Liu Kang gave Bo' Rai Cho the
inspiration necessary to continue the fight.
Bo' Rai Cho's soul was invigorated! He met with Outworld's many leaders to forge
a temporary truce. Kitana gave him command of what remained of her army, and he
led them to battle against Baraka's mutant foot soldiers. The new army of
Outworld crushed the Tarkata vermin, and Baraka himself was bested by Bo' Rai
Cho's attack. The victory inspired the people of Outworld to rise up against the
Dragon King.
Dairou
Normally, Dairou took no risks and ambushed those he had been hired to kill. But
in this case, he felt compelled to announce his intentions to kill his fellow
Guardsman, Hotaru. There still must have been some code of honor left in his
cynical heart.
Hotaru was defeated... but before Dairou could reveal who had commissioned the
attack, Hotaru drew his dying breath.
Darrius
The mercenary Dairou had succeeded in stealing the Declaration of Order and was
paid many koins for his efforts. After Darrius hid the document, he announced
its capture to the world and heralded in a new beginning for the realm of Seido.
As Darrius had predicted, officials were outraged that the Resistance had stolen
the most prized possession of the Seidan government. Hotaru was ordered to lead
the charge against them. He underestimated their numbers, however, and the
Resistance defeated him and his men. The senate would soon be in the hands of
the revolutionaries.
Ermac
In an outer chamber of the Dragon King's throne room, Ermac did battle with Liu
Kang's enslaved comrades. Ermac was more than a match for the five warriors, but
their defeat was not their objective. Liu Kang materialized and one by one,
freed their souls while Ermac occupied the rest. Eventually, all five were
awakened from their enchantment and freed from Onaga's control.
Ermac was pleased that his warrior skills could for once bring about a noble
outcome. He sensed, however, that an ominous force still shaped the destiny of
the realms. It was everywhere. He could feel its influence on Onaga, though the
Dragon King was oblivious to its manipulation. Time was running out. Ermac
feared the celebration of this latest victory would be short-lived.
Frost
Sub-Zero returned to Earthrealm only to find many of his clan slain by Frost.
She had come back to the Lin Kuei temple with the intention of killing only him,
but she was now delirious and saw Sub-Zero everywhere.
Sub-Zero blasted her with intense cold, freezing her until she could be revived
and cured of her dementia. He laid her on an altar in the chamber of fallen Lin
Kuei and sealed the room with a wall of ice. Frost will one day recover. When
that day comes, she will have to answer for her crimes against the Lin Kuei.
Goro
Goro had regained control of his Shokan army and fought to cleanse Outworld of
the Dragon King's Tarkatan Horde. Though the Tarkata are formidable adversaries,
they were no match for an army of Shokan, inspired as they were by regaining
Shao Kahn's favor. Baraka's troops were quickly defeated.
Goro had proven himself a powerful ally of the Emperor. But Shao Kahn had given
the Shokan much in his return to power. Goro felt a gift of loyalty was in
order. The Edenian military had been crushed and Kitana herself had been
captured. Goro brought her before Shao Kahn and sacrificed her as an offering of
fealty to the once and future emperor of Outworld.
Havik
The others had defeated the Dragon King, but left his broken body unattended on
the floor of his throne room. Not long ago, a similar fate had befallen his
former advisor, Shao Kahn. Havik ripped the still-warm heart from the carcass
and consumed it, thus absorbing Onaga's power to reanimate the dead.
Had the Dragon King succeeded in his plans for total domination, the
never-ending turmoil of life would have come to a stifling halt. Those who
defeated him believed that the realms were at rest once more, but Havik had
vowed to restore the Chaos that had once ravaged Outworld. Shao Kahn would rule
again!
Hotaru
In the wilds of Outworld, Hotaru captured the renegade Earthrealm warrior
Sub-Zero and brought him before the Dragon King.
Onaga's judgment of Sub-Zero was swift, and Hotaru was given the task of
carrying out his punishment: death. His fate served as a reminder to all who
challenge the authority of the Dragon King.
Jade
The traitor Tanya had given the Dragon King the information he needed to finish
merging the Kamidogu. But before he conquered all the realms, Jade would see
Tanya dead. Jade had allowed Baraka's soldiers to capture her, feigning defeat
in battle. As Tanya approached her prisoner, Jade waited for the right moment...
...and threw a glass orb filled with concentrated Tarkatan essence at her. The
glass broke, splashing its contents across Tanya's body. Baraka and his vile
savages worked themselves into an uncontrolled frenzy. They perceived Tanya to
be a rival male and instinctively attacked. I doubt she survived the encounter.
Jax
The Dragon King had defeated us all, save one. Jax. And Though I had absorbed
the fighting abilities of those who had aided me, I lacked the raw anger that
propelled Jax into battle.
Brutally pounding Onaga into submission, Jax finally ended the conflict by
embedding a Kamidogu into the would-be ruler's head. Where he summoned so much
rage from, I cannot say. I only hope that his anger is finally purged.
Kabal
Havik had given Kabal's new Black Dragon recruits a task: Lure the heroes away
from the Dragon King's corpse while he somehow retrieved the heart and with it,
Onaga's power to raise the dead. Apparently Onaga's ancient army had only been
invincible by means of constant resurrection during battles.
The power to raise the dead would prove quite useful to the Black Dragon clan.
Kabal slew Havik and took the Dragon King's heart for himself. Havik was most
impressed.
Kenshi
As Sub-Zero and Kenshi trekked across Outworld, they strove to keep themselves
hidden, only traveling at night. But was they neared the portal to Earthrealm,
the Dragon King zealot Hotaru attacked with a blast of glowing energy that
temporarily blinded Sub-Zero.
Kenshi's sense of sight is of a spiritual nature, thus he was unaffected by the
intense flash of Hotaru's projectile attack. In the dark, Kenshi had the
advantage. Hotaru did not see his approach. Unaware, he strode in to kill
Sub-Zero. It was the last mistake he'd ever made.
Kira
Once they had defeated the enemies of Havik, Kabal complimented Kobra and Kira
on their ferocity in battle. Their true test, however, was to face each other,
to decide which of them was worthy of the new Black Dragon clan. Neither refused
the challenge.
Kobra fought with ferocity, but his lack of discipline allowed Kira to control
the battle, easily manipulating Kobra into exposing himself to her attacks. She
defeated him, and proved her worth to Kabal, who gave her the honor of finding
two more recruits to pit against each other in Mortal Kombat.
Kitana
With the Dragon King destroyed, Kitana made her way home to the realm of Edenia.
During her journey she was met by a being made of fire! He informed Kitana that
her premonition of a looming conflict was correct, and that she must unite the
forces of good for a coming battle to preserve the realms.
Disheartened, Kitana fell to her knees. 'When will it end?' she cried. 'Every
victory leads to more conflict and greater adversaries!'. Blaze simply replied,
'If all goes as planned, your enemies will be destroyed'.
Kobra
Kabal brought his new recruits to Outworld, where a siege was underway against
the Dragon King. Kobra grew impatient. He wanted to join the fray, but Kabal
held him back. They were not to attack until the heroes had won.
Once the Dragon King had been defeated, Kabal gave the order to strike the
victors. The new Black Dragon tore through their ranks and left no survivors.
Kobra began to realize he was going to like being a Black Dragon.
Li Mei
An alliance had been formed of warriors from vastly different origins, but with
a similar goal: to defeat Onaga. Li Mei marched uneasily into battle against the
Dragon King. The closer she got to him, the more she came to understand which
side was truly deserving of victory. Li Mei turned on her former allies and gave
her emperor the time he needed to finish merging the Kamidogu.
The Dragon King was now all-powerful. He had the means to control the universe,
to make and unmake as he saw fit. Li Mei watched in delight as the Elder Gods
fled before his might. Onaga then transformed her into his queen, to be forever
at his side. He had given her power beyond anything she had ever imagined.
Together, they will rule the One Realm and slay the last of the Elder Gods.
Liu Kang
Liu Kang's friends had been freed, Onaga had been defeated, and the realms were
secure once more. But there was one battle that remained. Liu Kang's body had
been used by some unknown force as a tool of destruction. It had left death in
its wake and needed to be stopped. The chaos would end in Earthrealm.
The fight raged with neither kombatant able to best the other, when a jolt of
energy crackled through them both. Liu Kang's nerves blazed like fire, and he
felt a rush of air fill his lungs for the first time before his death. He was
Liu Kang once more: Protector of Earthrealm, Champion of Mortal Kombat.
Mileena
Because it was widely believed that Princess Kitana had slain her many years
ago, none were suspicious of the veil Mileena wore to conceal her Tarkatan
features. It was not difficult for her to assume the identity of the princess
and take control of her alliance. To further conceal her deception, Mileena gave
command of the armies to Bo' Rai Cho and instructed him to lead the attack on
Baraka's diversionary forces.
Baraka's militia had failed to divert the enemy, and to her surprise, was
decimated by Bo' Rai Cho's forces. She then realized that she was in control of
the most powerful military force in Outworld and Edenia combined... she had
finally achieved her true purpose, her destiny. But Mileena could not continue
her charade indefinitely - not as long as Baraka knew the truth. She ambushed
him in the ancient Beetle Lair, and fed him to a swarm of flesh-eating insects.
All hail Princess... Kitana.
Nightwolf
Nightwolf had traversed realms and fought many demons to get to this place deep
within the Netherrealm. Using knowledge passed to him from his forefathers, he
drew a binding symbol on the ground and chanted ancient words that would draw
the spirit of the Dragon King to this place.
Nightwolf had carried the burden long enough. He released the sins of his people
into the mystic symbol, and their weight bound Onaga to the Netherrealm. Free
from the corruption he had harbored for so long, Nightwolf was expelled from the
depths of the Netherrealm.
Noob-Smoke
With Smoke as his template, Noob Saibot planned to return to the Netherrealm and
use Smoke's nanotechnology to create an army of cyborg demons. He was unaware
they they were followed by someone Noob had not seen since before he became a
wraith. Smoke instantly recognized their visitor. He was an echo of their past.
He was Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot's brother.
Noob Saibot was surprised to see how much stronger his brother had become. If he
were still Lin Kuei, still human, he would probably have shown some degree of
pride. But as Raiden had revealed during the ordeal with Shinnok's amulet, his
soul had been tainted when he had died at the hand of Scorpion. Noob Saibot, the
original Sub-Zero, had descended into the Netherrealm free from compassion. He
ordered Smoke to assist him in slaying his brother - his first act as ruler of
the Netherrealm.
Raiden
My patience for mortals has wore thin. If I am to protect Earthrealm, I must
punish those who would threaten it. The fool, Shujinko, had let himself be
deceived into believing that he worked for a greater good. He was in fact an
unknowing tool of a greater evil - one that had almost caused the destruction of
Earthrealm.
That Shujinko undid his mistake and destroyed the Dragon King is of no
importance. Those who place Earthrealm in harm's way will pay with their lives.
Scorpion
The Elder Gods had transformed Scorpion into their weapon in order to defeat the
Dragon King before his plans of domination unmade the realms. With his enhanced
abilities, he tirelessly tracked down Onaga through the realms until he finally
cornered him in the Nexus. The Dragon King had many allies, but they were of no
consequence.
It was in fact Scorpion who was the true champion of the Elder Gods, the
Enforcer of their will. Only he could stop the menace that threatened all that
exist. Only he could defeat the Dragon King.
Shao Kahn
Shao Kahn had regained his strength, and he and Goro marched boldly to the
Dragon King's throne room, slaying all who stood in their way. Like an echo of
their battle ages ago, Shao Kahn and Onaga fought with a fury fueled by intense
hatred. Knowing the Dragon King was too powerful to defeat in mere kombat, Shao
Kahn blasted Onaga with his war hammer, causing him to hurtle into Goro's
poisoned blades. Onaga had fallen victim to Shao Kahn's treachery once more.
With Onaga defeated, Shao Kahn reclaimed Outworld once again. His army of Shokan
decimated what remained of Kitana's armies and the Tarkatan Horde and scattered
their survivors into the unknown. A new era had begun in the realm of Outworld.
Long Live Emperor Shao Kahn!
Shujinko
So that I would be able to defend myself during my quest to find the Kamidogu,
Onaga had given me the power to absorb the fighting ability of any warrior I
encountered. But his 'gift' would prove to be his undoing. The warriors in
Outworld were in disarray. Heroes were not focused on the true threat of Onaga,
and villains were unaware that they were bringing about their own destruction by
serving him. I united them, and in one moment, absorbed their combined fighting
power.
I shattered each of the Kamidogu, the source of his invulnerability. This
weakened Onaga, and I attacked him without mercy. His mortal form was no match
for a kombatant infused with the powers of so many warriors. The Dragon King was
finally defeated. The realms will remain as they have since the beginning.
Sindel
Although Onaga returned from the dead, he did not rein habit his original body.
Sindel and Jade found his sarcophagus opened. His body remained, but the armor
was missing. Strangely, the hieroglyphics in his tomb were similar to an ancient
Edenian language. She discovered an incantation, inscribed by Onaga's holy men,
that was intended to transfer his soul back to his original body. As she was
mesmerizing the spell, Onaga emerged from the shadows. Onaga could have defeated
both Jade and Sindel, but instead he took sadistic pleasure in unleashing Kitana
against them. He was a fool.
Jade held off Kitana while Sindel thrust her Kwon Do into the heart of the
corpse. As she screamed the ancient incantation, Onaga's soul leapt from
Reptile's body into its intended vessel. The corpse came to life and cried in
agony as the Kwon Do prevented its heart from reforming. Sindel held the blade
firmly in place as Onaga returned to the cold sleep of death.
With the Dragon King defeated, the realms were safe and Sindel's daughter,
Kitana, was free from his spell. May Edenia know peace once more.
Sub-Zero
On his way to the rendezvous point with Raiden and the others, Sub-Zero was
ambushed by a band of Tarkatan warriors in the Living Forest. He tried to outrun
them, but there were too many. He was quickly surrounded. Sub-Zero decided that
his last living deed would be to vanquish as many of these barbarians as he
could before he succumbed to death.
As Sub-Zero began his attack, he felt his armor speak to him. It guided him and
strengthened each blow as he broke their limbs and crushed their skulls. At his
feet, a dying Tarkatan warrior uttered the words, "Long live the Dragon King..."
Tanya
In Edenia, Tanya had located the ancient texts that described the process by
which to fuse the Kamidogu into one. With this information, Onaga was able to
create the One Kamidogu - a tool of unspeakable power.
As the Dragon King was distracted, reveling in his victory, Tanya seized the
opportunity to snatch the Kamidogu from him, thereby obtaining god-like power.
She destroyed the Dragon King and became Ultimate Overlord of the realms.
