THE
STORYLINE
For centuries a tournament has taken place to halt the invasion
on Earth Realm. Shang Tsung, an evil sorcerer from Outworld has
united with Goro, a four-armed prince born half man, half dragon
to secure nine straight victories over countless generations of
Earth Realm warriors. Because the sorcerer needs fresh souls,
he lures three of Earth Realm's best fighters to a magical island
for the tournament, plotting to steal their souls after having
them killed in kombat. And as it is written, one more victory
will no doubt spring an invasion by Outworld on our realm. But
Rayden has other plans…to lead the three Earth Realm fighters
to victory, including the chosen one. Liu Kang, a Shaolin warrior
from the Temple of the Order of Light and direct descendent of
former Mortal Kombat champion Kung Lao, will stop at nothing to
avenge his brother's murder at the hands of Shang Tsung. But he
fights with resentment, fluttering his focus with rage and anger,
which could cost Earth Realm its very existence. It will take
the patience of the Shaolin and the guidance of the god of thunder
to prepare Earth Realm's chosen one for kombat. Sonya Blade, an
American Special Forces agent and extremely autonomous woman is
in search of her corrupt enemy Kano, the leader of the Black Dragon,
an underground crime organization responsible for her partner's
death. Shang Tsung uses Kano as bait so that Sonya can board a
ship on course for the tournament. With the help of Rayden, Sonya
will need to learn how to be a team player, enabling her to trust
and count on her Earth Realm combatants. Johnny Cage, a successful
Hollywood actor is tormented through many publications branding
him a phony martial artist. Shang Tsung disguises himself as Cage's
sansei, baring an invitation to the most esteemed martial arts
tournaments, presenting the perfect opportunity to prove wrong
all doubters and mend his wounded ego. Through the wise direction
of Earth Realm's protector, Cage will need to put his ego aside
and focus on the true predicament at hand. Earth Realm's heroes
will need to use their newly acquired knowledge to overcome not
only insurmountable odds, but also their fears, thus drawing on
their inner strengths, giving them the abilities they need to
win. Because if they do not, it will mean the end of our planet's
existence as we know it. These three warriors, along with the
god of thunder are Earth's only hope in a tournament called Mortal
Kombat
