Baraka Ending
|
Baraka had assumed that the treacherous Mileena had given her armies a powerful magic. They fought with savage brutality, but they could not stop their advance.
|
|
He vowed that Mileena would pay for her betrayal.
|
|
Baraka's warriors brought word that she had agreed to meet with him in an ancient lair, but Baraka was no fool... He sent another in his place...
|
|
Baraka's scouts reported that the Earthrealm warrior Sub-Zero was near. He allowed his remaining militia to deal with him and set off alone to ambush Mileena.
|
|
He knew by the scent of Tarkatan blood on her clothes that she had already killed the one he had sent to meet her. But her sense of smell was not as keen as a true Tarkata's.
|
|
She was unaware of Baraka's presence. He barked her name and when she turned to face him... he tore her apart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Goro Ending
|
Goro had regained control of his Shokan army and fought to cleanse Outworld of the Dragon King's Tarkatan Horde. Though the Tarkata are formidable adversaries, they were no match for an army of Shokan, inspired as they were by regaining Shao Kahn's favor. Baraka's troops were quickly defeated.
|
|
Goro had proven himself a powerful ally of the Emperor.
|
|
But Shao Kahn had given the Shokan much in his return to power.
|
|
Goro felt a gift of loyalty was in order. The Edenian military had been crushed and Kitana herself had been captured. Goro brought her before Shao Kahn and sacrificed her as an offering of fealty to the once and future emperor of Outworld.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jade Ending
|
The traitor Tanya had given the Dragon King the information he needed to finish merging the Kamidogu. But before he conquered all the realms, Jade would see Tanya dead.
|
|
Jade had allowed Baraka's soldiers to capture her, feigning defeat in battle.
|
|
As Tanya approached her prisoner, Jade waited for the right moment...
|
|
... and threw a glass orb filled with concentrated Tarkata essence at her.
|
|
The glass broke, splashing its contents across Tanya's body.
|
|
Baraka and his vile savages worked themselves into an uncontrolled frenzy.
|
|
They perceived Tanya to be a rival male and instinctively attacked.
|
|
I doubt she survived the encounter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Li Mei Ending
|
An alliance had been formed of warriors from vastly different origins, but a similar goal: to defeat Onaga. Li Mei marched uneasily into battle against the Dragon King. The closer she got to him, the more she came to understand which side was truly deserving of victory. Li Mei turned on her former allies and gave her emperor the time he needed to finish merging the Kamidogu.
|
|
The Dragon King was now all-powerful. He had the means to control the universe, to make and unmake as he saw fit. Li Mei watched in delight as the Elder Gods fled before his might. Onaga then transformed her into his queen, to be forever at his side.
|
|
He had given her power beyond anything she has ever imagined. Together they will rule the One Realm and slay the last of the Elder Gods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Liu Kang Ending
|
Liu Kang's friend had been freed. Onaga had been defeated, and the realms were secured once more. But there was one battle that remained.
|
|
Liu Kang's body had been used by some unknown force as a tool of destruction. It had left death in its wake and needed to be stopped.
|
|
The chaos would end in Earthrealm.
|
|
The fight raged with neither kombatant able to best the other, when a jolt of energy through them both. Liu Kang's nerves blazed like fire, and he felt a rush of air fill his lungs for the first time since his death.
|
|
He was Liu Kang once more: Protector of Earthrealm, Champion of Mortal Kombat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Noob Smoke Ending
|
With Smoke as his template, Noob Saibot planned to return to the Netherrealm and use Smoke's nanotechnology to create an army of cyborg demons.
|
|
He was unaware that they were followed by someone Noob had not seen since before he became a wraith. Smoke instantly recognized their visitor.
|
|
He was an echo of their past. He was Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot's brother.
|
|
Noob Saibot was surprised to see how much stronger his brother had become.
|
|
If he were still Lin Kuei, still human, he would probably have shown some degree of pride. But, as Raiden had revealed during the ordeal with Shinnok's amulet, his soul had been tainted when he died at the hand of Scorpion. Noob Saibot, the original Sub-Zero, had descended into the Netherrealm free from compassion.
|
|
He ordered Smoke to assist him in slaying his brother - his first act as ruler of the Netherrealm.
|
|
|
|
|
Onaga Ending (Unused)
|
My enemies had failed to prevent me from fusing all the weapons of the Elder Gods into one.
|
|
I used this ultimate weapon to warp reality, merging the realms into a singular existence.
|
|
The Elder Gods were helpless as I used their own power against them in the void beyond the One Realm.
|
|
Not satisfied with merely ruling the One Realm, I seized all that exists and merged it into myself. There can be only one consciousness.
|
|
I am everything. I have become...
|
|
The One Being.
|
|
|
|
|
Raiden Ending
|
My patience for mortals has worn thin. If I am to protect Earthrealm, I must punish those who would threaten it. The fool Shujinko had let himself be deceived into believing that he worked for a greater good.
|
|
He was in fact an unknowing tool of a greater evil - one that had almost caused the destruction of Earthrealm.
|
|
That Shujinko undid his mistake and destroyed the Dragon King is of no importance.
|
|
Those who place Earthrealm in harm's way will pay with their lives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scorpion Ending
|
The Elder Gods had transformed Scorpion into their weapon in order to defeat the Dragon King before his plans of domination unmade the realms.
|
|
With his enhanced abilities, he tirelessly tracked Onaga through the realms until finally cornered him in the Nexus. The Dragon King had many allies, but they were of no consequence.
|
|
It was in fact Scorpion who was the true Champion of the Elder Gods, the Enforcer of their will. Only he could stop the menace that threatens all that exists.
|
|
Only he could defeat the Dragon King.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shao Kahn Ending
|
Shao Kahn had regained his strength, and he and Goro marched boldly to the Dragon King's throne room, slaying all who stood in their way.
|
|
Like an echo of their battle ages ago, Shao Kahn and Onaga fought with a fury fueled by intense hatred. Knowing the Dragon King was too powerful to defeat in mere kombat, Shao Kahn blasted Onaga with his war hammer, causing him to hurtle into Goro's poisoned blades. Onaga had fallen victim to Shao Kahn's treachery once more.
|
|
With Onaga defeated, Shao Kahn reclaimed Outworld once again.
|
|
His army of Shokan decimated what remained of Kitana's armies and the Tarkatan Horde and scattered their survivors into the unknown.
|
|
A new era had begun in the realm of Outworld. Long live Emperor Shao Kahn!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shujinko Ending
|
So that I would be able to defend myself during the quest to find the Kamidogu, Onaga had given me the power to absorb the fighting ability of any warrior I encountered. But his 'gift' would prove to be his undoing. The warriors in Outworld were in disarray. Heroes were not focused on the true threat of Onaga, and villains were unaware they were bringing about their own destruction by serving him. I united them, and in one moment, absorbed their combined fighting power.
|
|
I shattered each of the Kamidogu, the source of his invulnerability. This weakened Onaga, and I attacked him without mercy. His mortal form was no match for a kombatant infused with the powers of so many warriors. The Dragon King was finally defeated. The realms will remain as they have since the beginning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sindel Ending
|
Although Onaga had returned from the dead, he did not reinhabit his original body.
|
|
Sindel and Jade found his sarcophagus opened. His body remained, but the armor was missing. Strangely, the hieroglyphics in his tomb were similar to an ancient Edenian language. She discovered an incantation, inscribed by Onaga's holy men, that was intended to transport his soul back into its original body. As she was memorizing the spell. Onaga emerged from the shadows.
|
|
Onaga could have defeated both Jade and Sindel, but instead he took sadistic pleasure in unleashing Kitana against them. He was a fool. Jade held off Kitana while Sindel thrust her Kwan Dao into the heart of the corpse. As she screamed the ancient incantation, Onaga's soul leapt from Reptile's body into its intended vessel. The corpse came to life and cried in agony as the Kwan Dao prevented its heart from reforming. Sindel held the blame firmly in place as Onaga returned to the cold sleep of death.
|
|
With the Dragon King defeated, the realms were safe and Sindel's daughter, Kitana, was free from his spell. May Edenia know peace once more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Smoke Ending (Unused)
|
Smoke had been reprogrammed to serve Noob Saibot, who had brought him to the Netherrealm. Noob believed that Smoke had no soul. Smoke still had a small amount of good left in him, however, which made his presence in Hell incapacitating. Smoke was immobilized by the input his sensors translated as pain.
|
|
To protect Smoke from harm, his nanotech systems worked furiously to counter the evil forces that were unleashed upon his body. When they were finally brought into balance, Smoke became much more than a mere cyborg ninja...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sub-Zero Ending
|
On his way to the rendezvous point with Raiden and the others, Sub-Zero was ambushed by a band of Tarkatan warriors in the living forest.
|
|
He tried to outrun them, but there were too many. He was quickly surrounded.
|
|
Sub-Zero decided that his last living deed would be to vanquish as many of these barbarians as he could before he succumbed to death.
|
|
As Sub-Zero began his attack, he felt his armor speak to him. It guided and strengthened each blow as he broke their limbs and crushed their skulls.
|
|
At his feet, a dying Tarkatan warrior uttered the words, "Long live the Dragon King...."
|
