Hahahaha. Scorpion runs... After finding Scorpion... Scorpion: The map is mine Sub-Zero. Fight! ******************************************** * Lin Kuei headquarters * ******************************************** Successful in his mission, Sub-Zero escapes from the Shaolin temples... And returns to the secret Lin Kuei headquarters, hidden high above the mountains of northern China. Sub-Zero: Grandmaster, in honor of the Lin Kuei, I bring you this sacred Map of Elements. Grandmaster: Once again, our most cunning assassin and thief is successful. At ease, my Lin Kuei warrior. Quan Chi: Greetings, I see the ninja has been successful in retrieving my map... as I have forseen. Sub-Zero: Let's get something straight... I am not a ninja. I am Lin Kuei. Scorpion was a ninja! Quan Chi: Ah yes, your Japanese counterpart. It's unfortunate that you happened upon him in your battle with the pesky Shaolin monks. Sub-Zero: Scorpion was tipped off... he knew I was breaking into that temple, and if he weren't there - there wouldn't have been a battle! You are responsible for this sorcerer! Quan Chi: I admit... I also retained Scorpion's services. In case you failed, I needed some assurances. Sub-Zero: Well, your peace of mind almost cost me this mission. Grandmaster: Enough! Quan Chi... what about our payment? Quan Chi: Oh yes, I almost forgot... In this bag are bones of your arch nemesis, and leader of Scorpion's ninja clan, the Shirai Ryu. Grandmaster: And, this is the skull of the leader of the Shirai Ryu? Quan Chi: It most certainly is... I stripped it of its flesh myself. Grandmaster: Ho! Our ancient foes have been vanquished in one transaction. Quan Chi: I've personally made certain that every last remnant of their clan has been eliminated... forever. Grandmaster: You see Sub-Zero... you can trust a sorcerer sometimes. Now you will use the map on your next mission. Quan Chi has once again retained your services. Sub-Zero: Fine, give me the details. Quan Chi: This map you stole... it shows the way to a temple which predates man's recorded history on earth. For thousands of years, the Temple of Elements has been hidden in what are now known as the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. This map is the only evidence of its existence. Sub-Zero: Fine... I get to the temple and then what? What's inside? Quan Chi: A small amulet... worthless to you, but... let's just say it has great sentimental value to me. Sub-Zero: If it's so precious, why don't you get it yourself? Quan Chi: I cannot enter the temple until the four elements within its walls have been defeated. And I am not on the best of terms with the gods of your realm... especially your god of thunder Sub-Zero: Tell me about these elements. Quan Chi: They are the four elements which compromise the very existence of your realm... Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire. With your mastery of the element of cold, you have an advantage that no other human has... the ability to defeat the elements. I have forseen this... Sub-Zero scales the gorges of the massive Himalayan Mountains. There he discovers the entrance into the Temple of Elements. ******************************************** * Temple of Elements * ******************************************** Sub-Zero ascends the staircase leading to what he believes to be the ancient amulet he is looking for. As he approaches, he studies the inscriptions that trace its edges and prepares to take hold of the ancient artifact, never before touched by the hands of a mortal. But, before he can get to it... An unexpected visitor manages to take hold of the amulet first. Quan Chi: The amulet... I have Shinnok's amulet! Sub-Zero: Who's amulet? Quan Chi: He is my deity, ruler of the NETHEREALM and soon destroyed of your Earth realm. This is definitely Shinnok's amulet! Sub-Zero: What are you talking about? Quan Chi: This amulet is the key to Shinnok's power as an Elder God. When returned to him he will retain his powers and be freed from the confines of the Netherealm. Sub-Zero: ...Destroyer of all realms?? I think you are insane. That amulet isn't worth the bronze it's molded from. Quan Chi: Believe what you will, Sub-Zero. Good-bye... ninja. Sub-Zero watches as the energy dissipates into nothing. Then, suddenly, a blue bolt of electricity strikes the ground with thunderous fury. A new shape begins to form... But this time it's the god of thunder, RAYDEN. Rayden: Do you realize what you've done?? Sub-Zero: I was just earning my living. Rayden: Your clan's ignorance and greed will cost this entire realm. You must now set things straight. Sub-Zero: Quan Chi could simply be a lunatic sorcerer. I've never heard of an elder god named Shinnok or of a place called the Netherealm. Rayden: Well, you'd better start believing in both, because you're going to the Netherealm and you're going to bring the amulet back. We must act quickly. I have no dominion in the Netherealm... You are reality's only hope. Sub-Zero: I'll do it, Thunder God... but only because I have no choice. Rayden: Then stand back... Rayden prepares to open a portal into the Netherealm. Lightning and warped space converge as he points his staff at the center of the portal's surging energy. Rayden: This is a portal into the Netherealm. Once through, follow Quan Chi and try to get the amulet before he gives it to Shinnok. I also offer this advice... beware the Brothers of the Shadow. The Netherealm is a place for lost souls. If you fail, your soul will join theirs... and so will the souls of this entire realm. Sub-Zero charges through the portal. ******************************************** * Prison of Souls * ******************************************** Captured and now imprisoned, Sub-Zero peers out of the bars of his cell and ponders his escape. He fails to notice the shadowy figure of a warrior behind him. Warrior: Escape is not possible. Sub-Zero: Who are you? Warrior: I am a dead man. But somehow you have retained your mortality, which would mean you are vulnerable to death. Sub-Zero: Wait... I know your voice. Scorpion: Yessss... I am Scorpion. You killed me in cold blood. Sub-Zero: I had no choice. If I had not stolen that map I would be the dead one. Scorpion: But my clan and family would still be alive! Sub-Zero: What?? Scorpion: It wasn't enough to kill me... you had to destroy every last remnant of my being... you are responsible for the massacre of my entire clan! Sub-Zero: You're mistaken... Quan Chi is responsible for their deaths! Scorpion: Words will not save you Lin Kuei warrior... prepare for your final battle! ******************************************** * Bridge of Immortality * ******************************************** High atop a tower, overlooking the prison's crushed gates, a lone figures watches as Sub-Zero makes his way to freedom. Her name is Kia, and she spies the mortal through binoculars. Kia: Well, he's definitely a mortal. His soul is still contained within his body. She is joined by her fellow warriors - Jataaka and Sareena. Together they are Quan Chi's personal assassins. Jataaka: A mortal can't exist here with his soul intact! Kia: Unless Shinnok allowed it to be. Sareena: I'll inform Quan Chi. The two of you continue to track him. Shinnok's fortress looms over the Sea of Immortlity. Within its walls, Quan Chi is well aware of Sub-Zero's plight as Sareena enters his sanctuary. Quan Chi: Approach, Sareena. Sareena: Sir, a mortal has escaped from the prison of souls. He is headed toward the Sea of Immortality. Quan Chi: A mortal? Sareena: Yes, a mortal... with the ability to freeze. Quan Chi: Alert the Keepers and send a full garrison to intercept. Make sure that he does not cross the bridge. Sareena: The Keepers? But he is just a mortal. Certainly I can dispose of him myself. Quan Chi: Do not question me Sareena... and more importantly... do not fail me. We have toyed with the ninja long enough. ******************************************** * Fortress * ******************************************** Quan Chi waits patiently as Sub-Zero teleports into his chamber. Quan Chi: Welcome to my home, Sub-Zero. If you're still looking for the amulet, you can find it at the pyramid's apex... around Shinnok's neck. You've arrived a little late. Sub-Zero: I was busy. Quan Chi: Don't you realize why Rayden sent you? The Netherealm is a place for evil beings. You could not exist here unless you were tainted with evil. You belong here. Join my Brothers of the Shadow and worship our lord, Shinnok. Sub-Zero: Never sorcerer! Quan Chi: Then, so it shall be... ninja. After Quan Chi is defeated and if a fatality was not performed on Sareena... Sub-Zero: Why did you help me? Sareena: You are still mortal... that means you can escape the Netherealm. Sub-Zero: There won't be anywhere to go if I don't get the amulet back. Sareena: Take me with you... I've waited an eternity to escape. Sub-Zero: You don't understand. I can't leave without the... At that moment a searing beam of energy cuts through Sareena's chest. She screams with pain as she falls into Sub-Zero's arms. Sub-Zero: Sareena! Who are you, old man?? Shinnok: It is I, Shinnok, Sareena was dealt with as I would have dealt with all my children of this realm. But you, Sub-Zero, will be treated as a bitter enemy. ******************************************** * Ending * ******************************************** Light and warped space converge as the silhouetted form of Sub-Zero comes bursting through - with Shinnok's amulet in hand. He lands with a thud onto the rocky floor at Rayden's feet. Smoke billows from his body as he struggles to get up. Out of breath, he does his best to speak. Sub-Zero: Here... the amulet. Rayden: Impressive, Sub-Zero. Perhaps you will reconcile your reckless past after all. Sub-Zero: That's it? Not even a thank you? Rayden: Thank yourself for undoing a problem you created. Sub-Zero: One question? Quan Chi told me that you sent me because my soul was tainted with evil... is that true? Rayden: You are a superb warrior, Sub-Zero. But only you are in control of your destiny. Not even the gods can alter your chosen path of life. Sub-Zero: Was that a yes, or a no? Rayden: That was a yes... But only you can change it. Mist all but covers the Mongolian ruins as the sun struggles to rise from its slumber. Sub-Zero: I vow to serve and obey the Lin Kuei Grandmaster: Welcome back, my warrior. I have a new undertaking for you. It seems your recent exploits have caught the eye of yet another sorcerer. I'd like you to meet the retainer of your services. His name is Shang Tsung. He would like you to compete in a small tournament... called Mortal Kombat. ****************************************************************************** IV.
