The
Temple of the Order of Light. Having successfully defended
our realm in Mortal Kombat, celebration ensues involving
the heroic Earth Realm fighters, lead by Lord Rayden,
protector of Earth Realm. But what they don't know is
that one thousand years of sacred rules set by the Elder
Gods eons ago are on the brink of being violated. A portal
of epic proportion envelops the sky, as Liu Kang's win
over Shang Tsung brings out the armies of Outworld. An
acrimonious emperor, bent on revenge and gluttony invades
Earth Realm with his dark armies of Outworld. Ten thousand
years ago, Outworld Emperor Shao Kahn invaded a once beautiful
and peaceful realm called Edenia. He desecrated, murdered
and extracted all life from this once flourishing realm,
murdering the King Jerrod and forcing Queen Sindel to
become his bride, thus adopting her daughter Princess
Kitana. With the help of the heinous sorcerer Shang Tsung
and his Shadow Priests, Kahn concocts a plan to invade
Earth Realm without the benefit of winning in the Mortal
Kombat tournament. If Sindel should die, the Shadow Priests
prophesize that her spirit would someday be resurrected
in Earth Realm. This unholy act could bestow Shao Kahn
with the ability to step through the dimensional gates
and reclaim his Queen, but more importantly enabling him
to invade Earth Realm. After centuries of waiting patiently
to take Earth Realm through Mortal Kombat, Sindel dies
unexpectedly and Shang Tsung is beaten in the last tournament.
Infuriated and humiliated, losing any patience he might
have left, Kahn orders his Shadow Priests to conjure up
their dark magic to open a portal to Earth Realm. When
the emperor reclaims his Queen, it allows him and his
minions to finally enter Earth Realm. During his invasion,
Kahn triggered a merger between Earth Realm and Outworld,
causing our planet to deteriorate while being sucked into
a hellish realm of baron wastelands and empty kingdoms.
Now the Outworld armies hunt down the Earth Realm warriors
while our planet falls apart. It will be up to five warriors,
to once again save the future existence of our realm.
Liu Kang, the reigning Mortal Kombat champion and chosen
one will be accompanied by his new love Princess Kitana,
Sonya Blade and Major "Jax" Briggs to put a halt to Shao
Kahn's minions. But Rayden will have to make the most
important decision of his life. With such a disastrous
situation at hand, the god of thunder will have to choose
whether to watch as the Outworld extermination squads
hunt down and take the souls of our warriors, or to sacrifice
his own godly powers to join the fight against his own
brother in Kombat. Once again, the fate of our future
existence is in the hands of our Earth Realm fighters.
The honor and integrity of Mortal Kombat will be tested
by the dark armies of Outworld.
