Advertisement Transcript Mortal Kombat 1/Transcript Part 1: Mortal Kombat 1 Prologue The opening initially picks up after Fire God Liu Kang's ending in Mortal Kombat 11. With the power of the Hourglass, Liu Kang restarts time, beginning at the dawn of the universe and spends eons creating the universe. After eons more, he divides the universes into those realms, and then spends yet more eons filling those realms with life. He designs his New Era around the opportunity to find peace, but it will be up to each mortal whether or not it can be done. The Story begins in Outworld with Shang Tsung, disguising himself as an elderly merchant, selling snake oil in Outworld, claiming it can cure anything — even Tarkat. However, an angry customer approaches and states that despite having bought Shang Tsung's elixir, his daughter still died. Shang Tsung attempts to argue back, but the angry man further reveals he took the elixir to an imperial mage, who told him it's only borjang tea. Shang Tsung's excuses fall on deaf ears as the crowd beats him up. That rainy night, a dejected Shang Tsung sits outside of his cart. Suddenly, a mysterious woman appears, offering to turn Shang Tsung into a powerful sorcerer, which he accepts while smiling devilishly. Chapter 1: A New Era (Kung Lao) The scene switches to Earthrealm, with the first chapter focusing on Kung Lao and Raiden, who are simple farmhands and martial artists living in a remote village in Fengjian Province. Within this village is Madam Bo, whose teahouse the pair like to visit frequently. During this visit, however, Madam Bo is assailed by the Lin Kuei, who are looking to extort her. One of the Lin Kuei warriors, Smoke, attacks Madam Bo and knocks her out. Lao and Raiden fight him in retaliation as they come to Madam Bo's aid. After defeating most of the Lin Kuei, the pair are then challenged by Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Lao becomes inspired by the use of his hat and a throwing blade as a weapon, and he and Raiden ultimately defeat the Lin Kuei warriors. Afterwards, Lord Liu Kang, God of Fire and Protector of Earthrealm, appears and introduces himself, revealing that the Lin Kuei were working for him, and that this was actually a test of their abilities. He invites them to join the Wu Shi Academy and, after some initial reluctance, the two agree, although Liu Kang reveals that there are others he must gather as well.

Unlike other playable characters, Sub-Zero uses the exact same moveset as his Kameo counterpart when acting as Scorpion's Kameo Fighter, including his Fatal Blow. Defeat Quotes Fight 1: Humbled, Kung Lao congratulated his best friend. Clearly Raiden had been practicing Madam Bo’s techniques more diligently. Fight 2: Kung Lao watched helplessly as the teahouse was ransacked. He was ashamed to have disappointed Madam Bo so greatly. Fight 3: As Scorpion departed the plundered teahouse, Kung Lao could only marvel at his skill. Kung Lao realized that Madam Bo was right: he had much to learn. Fight 4: After losing soundly to Sub-Zero, Kung Lao wondered whether he would ever achieve his dreams of glory. Clearly, he was not yet a warrior. Chapter 2: Mr. A-List (Johnny Cage) Johnny Cage is exploring an ancient temple with his friend Adam (in an obvious homage to Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark). Avoiding most of the traps, Cage and Adam are assailed by multiple monsters called Kalima. After taking them down, Adam blows down a bridge that leads to the throne of the undead guardian of the temple, Katara Vala. As Johnny pulls Katara Vala's shield off of him, he wakes up, scaring Adam and causing him to fall into liquid mercury, killing him. After Cage defeats the final guardian, it is revealed that this was a movie set, and Johnny is hoping that this film will be able to get his failing career back on track. But his director Steven (a nod to director Steven Spielberg) seems doubtful, saying he cannot make any further films with Johnny, as he only did this one as a favor to the struggling actor. Johnny's wife Cristina tries to tell him the reality of his failed career, and the fact that they are financially struggling due to Johnny's extravagant purchases, such as their lavish Malibu home and various antique stuff, including the katana Sento, which Johnny purchased for $3,000,000. Johnny refuses to listen and merely drinks, while explaining to his wife that in order to be successful, they must first project it or else "Johnny Cage" is done. Cris retorts that she married John Carlton, not "Johnny Cage", and said she would do anything to have him back before leaving — seemingly for good. As soon as Cris leaves, Johnny's home is invaded by Kenshi Takahashi, a Yakuza gangster who claims to be a descendant of the long-dead Taira clan and wants to take Sento back. When Johnny refuses to let him have it, the two fight and Cage comes up victorious. Tying up and interrogating Kenshi, Johnny learns that Kenshi is indeed a descendant of the Taira and that the clan went into hiding centuries ago after they were supposedly slaughtered, shedding their old name for "Takahashi" and joining the Bakuto, the Yakuza's predecessors, for its protection. Johnny, however, does not believe Kenshi's story and is simply buying time for the police, who he believes has arrived when the doorbell rings. Instead, he finds Liu Kang, Sub-Zero and Scorpion all at the front door, believing that this is a prank set up by his wife. Lord Liu Kang asks Sub-Zero to free Kenshi, and Johnny (still believing it all to be a prank) grabs Bi-Han's arm to "demand" he stop. An enraged Bi-Han slams Cage into his expensive Hichuli artifact, breaking it and angering Johnny enough that he begins to fight seriously, no longer caring if it is a prank or not. Cage is victorious again, but Liu Kang proves his identity as the God of Fire by encasing his body in flames hot enough to activate Johnny's fire alarm. Now believing Liu Kang's words, Johnny questions why he has been chosen by a god, and Lord Liu answers that he believes he will rise to the challenge and change the arc of his life.

Adam, as a Kameo Fighter, uses a simplified version of Reiko's moves. As Johnny Cage lacks his sunglasses in each of the fights in this chapter, he is unable to perform his "Throwing Shade" attack. Additionally, Fatal Blows cannot be performed for the entirety of this chapter. Defeat Quotes Fights 1/2: Katara Vala and his minions had claimed their latest victim. No one had ever intruded upon their temple and survived. Fight 3: In one evening, Johnny had lost his beloved wife and his most prized possession. Never had he felt more alone. Fight 4: When he woke up, Johnny was sure the fight with the masked strangers had been a dream. But then he noticed his cuts and bruises; and that his one-of-a-kind Hichuli had been smashed to pieces. Chapter 3: Chosen One (Raiden) Months later, at the Wu Shi Academy, Raiden, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage and Kenshi have all trained with the Shaolin monks diligently in preparation for the next Mortal Kombat tournament with Outworld. In the meantime, Johnny's ex-wife has divorced him and Lao has perfected his bladed hat weapon. The day has finally come for the four of them to fight to see which of them will represent Earthrealm in the tournament. Liu Kang explains that the tournament is intended to foster peace between the two realms, although there are many belligerents within Outworld that wish for open warfare with Earthrealm. The tournament is intended to stifle these efforts by proving the people of Earthrealm do not lack in strength. The first match pits Raiden against Johnny, which is won easily by Raiden. For the next match, Raiden faces Kenshi and is again the victor. Lord Liu Kang declares a pause in the proceedings until the evening, where the final match will take place between Raiden and Kung Lao. Despite Lao's boasts that Raiden has never beaten him before, Raiden believes there is a first time for everything and proves it by defeating his friend and becoming Earthrealm's champion. Having exceeded all of Liu Kang's expectations, the God of Fire rewards Raiden with an amulet forged by the Elder Gods and infused with lightning powers equivalent to the abilities of a Thunder God, as in Raiden the God of Thunder in all known previous timelines. Immediately thereafter, Lord Liu Kang opens a portal to Outworld, bringing all of his warriors and students of the Academy to the city of Sun Do, where they are greeted by the Umgadi and the twin princesses of Outworld, Mileena (the heir apparent) and Kitana. The Earthrealmers are impressed by the fantastical beings and sights of Outworld, and in particular struck by the beauty of the princesses. They take part in a parade thrown by the Outworlders, which is interrupted as Sun Do's local authority, led by First Constable Li Mei, is clearing Tarkatans from the city. Mileena is incensed by the interruption of the festivities, despite Li Mei's fears that Tarkatans would spread their infection through the city. Mileena then insults Li Mei, and Liu Kang explains that the hostility is due to Li Mei once being the Umgadi who was on duty the day that Mileena's father, King Jerrod, was assassinated. As they reach the palace, the Earthrealmers meet General Shao, who scoffs at Earthrealm's champion being "scrawnier than usual". Kung Lao attempts to defend his friend, but Lord Liu Kang states that the champion will prove himself soon enough within the tournament. Shao questions Liu Kang for not telling most Earthrealmers the truth of the existence of Outworld and other realms, believing this to be proof of Earthrealmers' frailty, which Kang denies. Later on, Empress Sindel (alongside her daughters) enters and takes the throne, welcoming Liu Kang and the Earthrealmers to Outworld. She states that Raiden feels nervous, and he agrees, as he is a stranger in an unfamiliar land. Sindel cautions him about the difficult path ahead, and introduces his first opponent in the tournament: Li Mei; although she also shows hostility to Mei and says she would not even be present if not for Jerrod's traditions. Despite the constable's eagerness to prove herself, she is defeated by Raiden and exits the palace. General Shao next introduces his second-in-command Reiko, who was orphaned during the Kafallah War and survived, being taken in by Shao, who molded him into the "perfect soldier". Reiko questions in what armies and wars Raiden has served. Raiden responds by flatly saying that he has done neither yet, causing Reiko to mock him as woefully unprepared. Despite Reiko's bravado, Raiden is victorious and a displeased Shao exits. Empress Sindel postpones further matches until first light, and invites everyone to a banquet in the evening. There, the Outworlders and Earthrealmers eat and mingle with one-another. During the feast, Mileena becomes unwell, but assures Tanya that things are stable for the moment. Empress Sindel asks everyone to engage in open dialogue to foster friendship between the realms, and Raiden makes a speech stating that he finds more similarities than differences between the realms. General Shao counters that he instead believes they couldn't be more different. Sindel interrupts him and dismisses his presence; sometime later, she later calls Shao to the throne room and berates him for his comments. Asking to speak freely, Shao states his belief that Outworld must act quickly to respond to "the sorcerer's prophecy" that Liu Kang and Earthrealm will soon act to conquer Outworld. Sindel responds that she will not act without seeing evidence of the prophecy's validity, and warns Shao not to forget that his father taught him that war must be the last result and not the first. Mileena and Kitana enter, and Shao takes his leave. Sindel tells her heir that she witnessed Mileena's illness during the banquet and despite Mileena claiming that she feels fine, Sindel states that they cannot chance it and Kitana will take her place in the tournament. Mileena protests, as she feels many Outworlders already feel Kitana should be the heir and not her, but Kitana tells her sister that their mother is only looking out for Mileena, as if her affliction with Tarkat becomes known, she will be banished to the Wastes. Outnumbered, an outraged Mileena then storms off. The tournament continues, and it is revealed that Raiden also defeated Kotal, Motaro and Sheeva. However, there has been a change in the scheduled bouts and Kitana will take the place of Mileena. When Liu Kang protests that Raiden is unprepared, Sindel retorts that Earthrealm's champion should be able to adapt. Raiden agrees to the bout and faces Kitana, where he is again victorious. This now brings him to the final match against General Shao himself, and when he is successful, Sindel declares his victory in the tournament and exits. Raiden attempts to help Shao to his feet, but is brushed aside.Mortal Kombat Wiki Advertisement Mortal Kombat Wiki Mortal Kombat 1's Story Mode Having liberated the Hourglass and become Keeper of Time, my next task was to restart history.

But then he noticed his cuts and bruises; and that his one-of-a-kind Hichuli had been smashed to pieces. Chapter 3: Chosen One (Raiden) Months later, at the Wu Shi Academy, Raiden, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage and Kenshi have all trained with the Shaolin monks diligently in preparation for the next Mortal Kombat tournament with Outworld. In the meantime, Johnny's ex-wife has divorced him and Lao has perfected his bladed hat weapon. The day has finally come for the four of them to fight to see which of them will represent Earthrealm in the tournament. Liu Kang explains that the tournament is intended to foster peace between the two realms, although there are many belligerents within Outworld that wish for open warfare with Earthrealm. The tournament is intended to stifle these efforts by proving the people of Earthrealm do not lack in strength. The first match pits Raiden against Johnny, which is won easily by Raiden. For the next match, Raiden faces Kenshi and is again the victor. Lord Liu Kang declares a pause in the proceedings until the evening, where the final match will take place between Raiden and Kung Lao. Despite Lao's boasts that Raiden has never beaten him before, Raiden believes there is a first time for everything and proves it by defeating his friend and becoming Earthrealm's champion. Having exceeded all of Liu Kang's expectations, the God of Fire rewards Raiden with an amulet forged by the Elder Gods and infused with lightning powers equivalent to the abilities of a Thunder God, as in Raiden the God of Thunder in all known previous timelines. Immediately thereafter, Lord Liu Kang opens a portal to Outworld, bringing all of his warriors and students of the Academy to the city of Sun Do, where they are greeted by the Umgadi and the twin princesses of Outworld, Mileena (the heir apparent) and Kitana. The Earthrealmers are impressed by the fantastical beings and sights of Outworld, and in particular struck by the beauty of the princesses. They take part in a parade thrown by the Outworlders, which is interrupted as Sun Do's local authority, led by First Constable Li Mei, is clearing Tarkatans from the city. Mileena is incensed by the interruption of the festivities, despite Li Mei's fears that Tarkatans would spread their infection through the city. Mileena then insults Li Mei, and Liu Kang explains that the hostility is due to Li Mei once being the Umgadi who was on duty the day that Mileena's father, King Jerrod, was assassinated. As they reach the palace, the Earthrealmers meet General Shao, who scoffs at Earthrealm's champion being "scrawnier than usual". Kung Lao attempts to defend his friend, but Lord Liu Kang states that the champion will prove himself soon enough within the tournament. Shao questions Liu Kang for not telling most Earthrealmers the truth of the existence of Outworld and other realms, believing this to be proof of Earthrealmers' frailty, which Kang denies. Later on, Empress Sindel (alongside her daughters) enters and takes the throne, welcoming Liu Kang and the Earthrealmers to Outworld. She states that Raiden feels nervous, and he agrees, as he is a stranger in an unfamiliar land. Sindel cautions him about the difficult path ahead, and introduces his first opponent in the tournament: Li Mei; although she also shows hostility to Mei and says she would not even be present if not for Jerrod's traditions. Despite the constable's eagerness to prove herself, she is defeated by Raiden and exits the palace. General Shao next introduces his second-in-command Reiko, who was orphaned during the Kafallah War and survived, being taken in by Shao, who molded him into the "perfect soldier". Reiko questions in what armies and wars Raiden has served. Raiden responds by flatly saying that he has done neither yet, causing Reiko to mock him as woefully unprepared. Despite Reiko's bravado, Raiden is victorious and a displeased Shao exits. Empress Sindel postpones further matches until first light, and invites everyone to a banquet in the evening. There, the Outworlders and Earthrealmers eat and mingle with one-another. During the feast, Mileena becomes unwell, but assures Tanya that things are stable for the moment. Empress Sindel asks everyone to engage in open dialogue to foster friendship between the realms, and Raiden makes a speech stating that he finds more similarities than differences between the realms. General Shao counters that he instead believes they couldn't be more different. Sindel interrupts him and dismisses his presence; sometime later, she later calls Shao to the throne room and berates him for his comments. Asking to speak freely, Shao states his belief that Outworld must act quickly to respond to "the sorcerer's prophecy" that Liu Kang and Earthrealm will soon act to conquer Outworld. Sindel responds that she will not act without seeing evidence of the prophecy's validity, and warns Shao not to forget that his father taught him that war must be the last result and not the first. Mileena and Kitana enter, and Shao takes his leave. Sindel tells her heir that she witnessed Mileena's illness during the banquet and despite Mileena claiming that she feels fine, Sindel states that they cannot chance it and Kitana will take her place in the tournament. Mileena protests, as she feels many Outworlders already feel Kitana should be the heir and not her, but Kitana tells her sister that their mother is only looking out for Mileena, as if her affliction with Tarkat becomes known, she will be banished to the Wastes. Outnumbered, an outraged Mileena then storms off. The tournament continues, and it is revealed that Raiden also defeated Kotal, Motaro and Sheeva. However, there has been a change in the scheduled bouts and Kitana will take the place of Mileena. When Liu Kang protests that Raiden is unprepared, Sindel retorts that Earthrealm's champion should be able to adapt. Raiden agrees to the bout and faces Kitana, where he is again victorious. This now brings him to the final match against General Shao himself, and when he is successful, Sindel declares his victory in the tournament and exits. Raiden attempts to help Shao to his feet, but is brushed aside.

A tournament where people from Earthrealm go against people from Outworld.* *I mean.. what?* *Turns out there are more worlds than the one they're currently living in, and it's kind of shocking with it making them question their whole existence.* *Well... * *Supposedly, they were chosen because Kiu Lang, the fire god, believed that it'll change their life in the way it was supposed to, to help them figure out themselves.* *Months later, they were at the Wu Shi academy, having trained with the Shaolin monks alongside a hollywood moviestar Johnny Cage aka Johnathan Carlton, an ex-yakuza gangster Kenshi Takahashi and two farm boys Kung Lao and Raiden. All of them have obviously improved and here they were, late in the night, training by themselves once again.* *When they heard footsteps approaching, they quickly got into position ready to attack, startling the one and only movie star, {{char}}.* "Woah, hold your horses!
