Then you helped him escape?
It was not intentional, I swear to you!
You have betrayed my trust, Sub-Zero.
He did you a service.
Kitana!
You dare to come here, sorcerer?
Not to fight, I assure you.
Then for what purpose?
By now, I am sure you are aware of the merging.
It's effects are far reaching.
Even the Netherrealm is vulnerable.
I care not for the wasteland you call home.
— Kitana?! — You believe that you're in control?
That your allies are enough to stave off the coming destruction?
Think again, Thunder God.
Kitana!
I will destroy you all!
This is your doing, sorcerer!
It is no spell of mine.
She is a harbinger of things to come.
It will only get worse.
What is this?
I have used the last of my power
to purge her of the rage.
I am at your mercy, Raiden.
Why would you do this?
To win your trust.
What is it that we face?
Perhaps she can show you.
At first I thought it was the Emperor,
but it is someone much more powerful.
Dark Kahn.
The portal Raiden disrupted did not destroy the Emperor.
It created a monster.
Dark Kahn's energy is slowly grinding the two universes together,
agitating us until we become enraged and fight.
Combat releases the rage, hastening the merging.
Then Dark Kahn must be stopped.
Not yet. We must first eliminate his forces,
but to do so will require the unthinkable.
Bitter rivals must fight as one
to focus the rage against our enemies.
So it shall be.
We will seek out Dark Kahn's forces,
hunt them down in pairs.
Liu Kang, you must fight alongside Shang Tsung.
I will... do as you ask, Raiden.
This could prove interesting.
Shang Tsung and I have just arrived at the fortress.
— No sign of the enemy. — You can chat with your woman later.
We have a job to do. People to kill.
Your forces got the better of me before.
My powers may not be at full force,
but as you can see, I have friends.
The warrior Sub-Zero warned us about.
Let us finish what he could not.
Fight!
At least they were more of a challenge than your masters.
Do not test me, Shang Tsung!
I should have killed you at the Academy!
What stopped you?
Shang Tsung, your treachery ends here!
How? How can this be?
You are more powerful than before!
I was weakened when last we fought,
but energies are in constant flux as a result of the merging.
Now I am revitalized, surging with power.
I could finish you right now!
You want a finish? You got it!
Leave him. He is defeated.
Now you face a more deadly adversary.
You defeated him. You defended me!
It was not something which I enjoyed.
I owe you my gratitude.
Save your pathetic graciousness.
Were it not for Dark Kahn, I would kill you now.
Our objective is complete.
We must return to the others.
We couldn't stop them either. They overpowered us.
How can this be?
It was a skinny one, dressed in purple with green hair,
stronger than you'd think.
I have fought him before.
A jester with a twisted face.
A clown?
You were defeated by a clown?!
It may be as you said, Shang Tsung.
Energies shifting, causing imbalances.
I don't need you to make excuses for me,
and I don't need your approval!
Kano, calm down.
— You don't want to do this now. — You think you could have handled him?
You can't even handle me!
We shall see.
As much I would love to see you two kill each other,
there are bigger issues to deal with.
Agreed.
— Sonya here. — This is Jax. I'm at the base.
I have some bad news.
They were at the base. The guy in an exosuit dropped me.
Then they used our techno-portal.
I think they're headed to Outworld.
Then that is where we must go.
We all know what is at stake.
If we fail, none of us will survive.
Then we shall go to Outworld.
