Forces have an earth realms sword and

shield we've pushed back shao kahn

defeated shinnok yet none of our

victories have come without cost

recently commander Jackson Briggs was

honorably discharged his wounds both

physical and psychological left him no

longer fit to serve we honor Jackie's

father and we honor his sacrifice by

doing what he would do

open a dialog maybe there's an

explanation

Luke and katana were friends once they

are irreparably polluted by shinnok's

evil they are no longer the champions we

once knew we must strike them

preemptively it's about time we brought

the fight to them what's the target

buried deep beneath Liu Kang and katanas

Castle is the Cathedral of shinnok the

seat of their power destroy it and their

undead army will fall removing its

threat to earth realm aren't your powers

weaker in the nether realm yes but I

will have sufficient strength to occupy

the undead army that'll buy us enough

time to infiltrate the Cathedral destroy

it from the inside we get pinned down in

there there's no way out to ensure

Earthrealm survival we must all be

willing to sacrifice you know it's been

two years too much of your Grimm

ready makeover droning on about

antipathy toward Shao Kahn everything

changed after your defeat of shinobi

Knox defeating our realms joined to

fight him but in victory you were

heartened to protect earth realm you

lashed out at all realms you deemed

threats there cannot be my Raiden where

Chinooks amulet as a symbol of his fury

be assured carrucan I am NOT that Raiden

we have common cause both in solving

this temporal crisis and in defeating

Shao Kahn aggrieved liu kang kung lao

and i will return to earth row and learn

what temporal anomalies have occurred

there

we must better understand the phenomenon

we are experiencing I will have my

scouts track schalke so this is goodbye

I swear to god I'm losing it can't

someone anyone explain to me what the

hell is going on right I've been in the

future for a whole hour and I haven't

went down you became a different person

red lightning black clothes

authoritarian attitude adjustment yeah

about that what happened to dark you hmm

how come you're an only child and I got

an evil twin as an immortal I exist

outside the normal laws of time that

could explain why I am affected

differently Thanks

weird isn't it not being in charge

that's what's weird that and having

daughters our age look at her how do I

have a kid with him

hmm at least she's not an actress come

on at least think about it

we should get points off the gross

coming this summer Johnny Cage and

Johnny Kings any thoughts on what we do

next for months I've been receiving

vague premonitions of the future but

none of them foretold this I must confer

with the Elder Gods

liu kang kung lao please assist the

special forces while i am gone

yes Lord Raiden follow me commander yes

mom I mean general I mean this is

strange for me too

you have no idea what

this morning we were on a mission and

you gave your life to save it

son of a bitch seriously yeah

and now here you are yeah I'm gonna have

to be my sister cast you need to see

this sappy show another roam incursion

of the wushi Academy nether wrath taking

out shinnok's temple was supposed to

stop them it's got to be the time

anomaly we must help a Shaolin masters

why would the nether realm want to bust

up your alma mater Liu Kang the dragon

brother it's underneath the Academy

Earth realms jinsei energy bubbles up in

its springs that's no good we've seen

firsthand what happens when the nether

realm screws with Earth realms life

force they will not reach the grotto it

is protected by powerful magic the

deadliest traps I am sure our

counterparts from your era are already

dealing with them Kung Lao Liu Kang you

might want to sit down

I died the Colosseum you on a rooftop

fighting Lord Rayden our future king it

is insane obsessing over it will not

change it

neither will accepting our destiny as

evil undead warlords

I'm not but we can't change a future we

don't fully understand Lord Rayden will

guide us can we trust him

it appears he got us both killed

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so many shells in they died defending

our sacred ground the NetherRealm will

pay

whoever came here knew how to disarm

these traps do you know how the monks

never taught me more likely you did not

attend class watch for the pattern and

pick your moments

easy enough what's next

everything poison gas shooting Spears

flame Jets how about we avoid those I

did not do that

I did scorpion

of course you survive the time virgin

you will not stop chronica for restoring

my family and clan

if scorpion doesn't kill us his traps

will find a way to shut them down let's

see whose fire burns hotter your fire is

out

scorpion I can't stop that restoring my

family and clan can you stop the traps I

learned my lesson fighting you at Shang

sous tournament this time I am prepared

I can't stop the traps the lot have been

changed

stop why

our plans require that you live Jade

what happened to you an untimely death

like yours do to Braden's incompetence

you cannot turn us against him we know

about our deaths they were caused by our

mistakes you have been deceived okay the

truth is Raiden murdered you Raiden

killed you because you stood in his way

you lie Jade you will not test my faith

[Music]

Lord Rayden may make mistakes but he

doesn't murder his followers it did not

matter to send an ill-prepared warrior

to his death I like the real you better

[Music]

[Music]

the dragon grotto is through there what

if the next resonance we have to fight

are us then we fight them cool

[Music]

[Music]

elder gods I have come to seek counsel

the realms are in crisis the crisis is

grave indeed

Raiden every being erased even we have

the concepts already our power weakens I

will fight setri on but how you must

find chronic has key and gain control of

her our lasts only then will x momentum

be restored it will be done

speak your mind

Braden since this time merger I have

learned about my future that my

champions fall that I become a tyrant

if Kronecker is defeated will I be

consigned to this grim fate the

restoration of time will not

predetermine your destiny that is for

you to shape

[Music]

[Music]

is there any point to us asking you to

put those back they said you'd come who

said who do you think come now

[Music]

[Music]

welcome to your future courtesy afraid

our future may be tragic but it's not

Lord ratings fault you've both been

warped by cynics evil shall carve

snapped my neck Emir Mina rain saw it

coming did nothing I would have defeated

shall guard but Raiden wanted the glory

his lightning cut me down no I don't

believe that one day ratin will betray

you

and you will believe you spew cynics

lines you attacked Lord Raiden and he

defended himself he did what he thought

rights to protect earth realm protects

Raiden enslaves earth realm how would I

ever so blinded you

[Applause]

how did I get so deluded the thought of

becoming you sickens me but I won't

claim rape you Oh Kronecker she saved

your life by stopping time

you shame our family name is it me or

could they be telling the truth

worried about it later we have bigger

problems

you should have listened to your

revenant counterparts with this power

Kronecker will remake history that was

easy

I Garrus I'm a fixed point in time with

every death and rebirth by gross

miles

sizing me up chronica has a keen

interest in you

it's why she recruited your revenant

self-serve her she will bless you

fetch the jinsei chosen one you're good

but you're no great cool now you've met

my ancestor he stood a chance against me

you have none you show among succeed

your reputation

I respect your spirit but Crona cos will

must be done

it's dangerous to let them live if they

die their revenant selves will cease to

exist

we need them to defend the keep

yet again Liu Kang you've chosen the

wrong destiny

I now have the energy to Reese cult the

sands of time the nether realms undead

army will protect the keep as I work

shall come when will you deliver the

Outworld army soon it will be mine once

Kotal is cubed and what is your progress

sector

the Cybermen Quay Factory is modified to

your specifications production exceeds

projections

Lord Rayden what did the Elder Gods say

we must find Kronecker wrest the control

of history from her

if we succeed our destiny can change so

what we were told is true you were

involved in our deaths yes at the

timeline continued my decisions would

have led to your deaths but the Elder

Gods assure me that such a future is not

inevitable this is but one of many

possible timelines that is a lot to take

on faith

rest assured Kung Lao I am aware now of

what may come I will not bring harm to

either of you you have my vow thank you

Lord Raiden we must find cronic escape

and strike it as hard and as fast as we

can muster before all is lost

what have you learned about kanakas

effect on earth realm

we're tracking sites around the globe

with major temporal anomalies extra

still fuzzy our kids something isn't she

cage I'm not your Sonia sorry too easy

to forget we've prioritized info that

correlates attacks from the nether realm

with time anomalies helpful but we have

more to worry about than the nether

realm yeah we do Grand Master sub-zero

reports heavy losses to his Lin Kuei

clan the time merger is resurrected his

old enemy sect or sect or was he not the

Grand Master who years ago enslaved the

Lin Kuei that's him he's reactivating

and upgrading the same factory he built

to convert the Lin Kuei into cyber

killing machines undoubtedly to

construct new and more powerful cyber

Lin Kuei Crona khmer seek to co-opt them

what of subzero already on his way to

shut down the factory grandmaster

Hisashi is going with him

and master Hisashi hanzo hasashi

your hearing is feeling sub-zero I

recognized your footsteps Hanzo with SEC

door I will not let him threaten my clan

again the old cyber Lin Kuei factory was

defunct buried beneath this quarry until

the time disruption now sectors returned

and reactivated it he's building an army

by processing Lin Kuei warriors

kidnapped from my temple I can see why

you need me

we could enter through that tunnel but a

frontal assault would be bloody

needlessly dangerous there's another

entrance less populated

and the rest of your plan we get help on

the inside

we'll avenge your clan

cyrix is your Inside Man he was

converted against his will if we

disabled the behavior inhibitors that

control him he will turn on sector all

cyber Lin Kuei are linked to a common

Network Cyrax can shut them down for

within who is the woman I don't know

focus on disabling Cyrax he's the key we

require additional candidates for

Standardization one fill every home for

the next generation

I was your mentor yet after all this you

allied with sektor he corrupted the Lin

Kuei you did our clan when you make

peace with this shirai Ryu fill with

chrome nika's help I will restore the

land wave honor keeps tyrants alive we

need him there is no future in which you

are fit to lead the Lin Kuei you always

telling me sub-zero help me back

chronica sees my true potential

you deceive yourself Frost help cyrix

thou discipline your former pupil I

should have killed you the day Sub Zero

invited you to us you tried and failed

not this time now

Sub Zero can decide your fate great

silence is this chronic is doing the

very services we depend Crona - she

rewrites history so you're nothing but

pawns we had to secure the linguist

glory in a new era take the others

in its latest Iraq's first bisect or now

by chronica it ends today you will be

freed

I'll deal with cyrix

[Music]

you will be awesome sir I've been down

that road Syrus never again

no one should be a slave hurry before we

face more CyberLink way you'll need a

moment to initialize sector show

yourself beyond you were killed

swallowed in a storm of sauce

we'll talk

beyond me master I opposed the Lin Kuei

principles I thought you shared we share

blood we are not brothers I've beaten

your brother before

my strain is more than vengeance your

soul is intact Cyrax trust me I speak

from experience

we'll explain later for now know we

share the same goal the CyberLink ways

destruction we need your help

cyrix I need a sable the communications

network it will shut down this Factory

and every final equation that

for a baby to be analyzed

I did not think you capable of such

disorder sub zero eight cyrix sector is

mine

I've taken your head what sektor I will

do it again the last you know is no

longer set the CyberLink way will after

in caracas new era

the CyberLink we are finished I'll stop

sector health Iraq's

you started this fighter

selling out your clamp so caught she

would slaughter mine he should have

killed you as he promised now I finished

what he could not

for AMI in Satoshi I'll reform at the

system dries us all down very quietly it

is not the end I will find a way to

restore you anything is possible

Hanzo and I are living proof please

don't bring me laughs isn't she

I can't live like this machine or man

you have a warrior's soul as long as I

am Grandmaster the Lin Kuei will welcome

you burn until we meet again

then estate we should pursue first we

speak with Raiden our lady chroniker

will get all the service she needs but I

can't quite a fee until another job you

will see

can you restore him this is a frame

damage circuitry looks good

thought someone did a software bot

fixing that bug camp shape once he is

repaired can he be replicated hundreds

of times thousands that's a tall order

but anything's personal with the right

help serve chronica and she will provide

take the deal trust me

[Music]

otherwise who can you trust you weren't

kidding slugga mirror reflecting the

past how about that over 50 instill a

river hmm

market right then let's get to business

become blame your loyalty took it hard

humbly request the shirai Ryu's

hospitality my sky temple has been

compromised there is no safer place for

us to gather Lord Raiden welcome to the

fire garden the Elder Gods are gone

shinnok is chronica son no wonder she

sent the black dragon after me and dad

they both kicked his ass

it is not vengeance that drives chronica

she restarts history to balance light

and dark among the realms but can we do

Lord Raiden gather Earth realms forces

but that effort will be for naught if

Kotal Kahn's armies cannot join us

centurion informed me that Shao Kahn is

captured Kotal Kahn we must spare no

effort to free him Kung Lao and I will

go we will rendezvous with Princess

Kitana thank you both may the Elder Gods

protect

may you return victorious you are

passionate princess kitana but i am not

persuaded queen shiva have injure people

fared better under Kotal Kahn than Shao

Kahn in some ways but we can only guess

which Kahn will prevail in this struggle

we gain no advantage choosing sides now

princess Liu Kang why are you here Cole

told Kahn has been captured by the

toccatas we must act quickly before he

is executed my teeth will not rally to a

call held in Chains

we have earth realm support your

highness with yours we can guarantee

victory there is no path to victory

without the talk Hutton's if they can be

swayed to Kotal Kahn it would be to our

advantage to join him

I will return queen Shiva with the tar

Cotton's at my side together we will

march on shall cone

[Music]

[Music]

what is it about Jade's blood that

intrigues you Scarlett endymion blood is

most sweet your accent it is also a rare

commodity

Colosseum no doubt then we attack now

we'll never sway Brock at a codel side

by taking the offensive we must turn

Baraka first then attack shall come

together the tar Cotton's won't grant an

audience their instinct will be to

attack not to mention jade at the first

sign of trouble and they could kill her

I have an idea

who is it charge here

sometime two-faced

Princess Kitana our gift for Shao Kahn

we wish to join his fight against Kozol

high-and-mighty daughter now brought low

by common soldiers have you learned

rest of us she is for Shoutmon we demand

to see Baraka you won't be seeing anyone

[Music]

[Music]

you betrayed your father katana I was

show Khan's daughter by conquest eat

stole a dinner from its rightful ruler

the father I never knew because your

people and your bloodline will weak

there is moon to power than conquest

scarlet as requested zero casualties

Jade are you alright

we must find Baraka quickly to save

Codel Baraka won't join us

Cottle's hate for the Tuck Cotton's runs

too deep if I hadn't stopped him Kota

would have executed them all

Baraka please listen no more tar cartons

need to die

corporal carton threatens all tarkoff

rebels in the new era shall cotton will

rule

hear me Baraka I speak truth Jade Luke

eggs

stand down speech you've all read the

charts Shao Kahn has pitted out world's

peoples against one another for

millennia and for what the honor of

dying in his Wars we must fight for each

other Baraka not with each other

God wants us against he said as much to

my face aid us and I'll make sure you

sit at codels table

which do you prefer Baraka to be shao

kahn's slave or Kotal Kahn's trusted

ally nor has ever made a cotton satin

offer but these are your words not his

help me save Kotal Kahn we'll ask him

together the office less a slit his

throat if he offers less Baraka I'll

help you

you've suffered too long at this

pretenders hands but I've returned and I

will save you from his nut

[Applause]

Oh

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

where's this boldness been hiding had

you shown it before I have had no need

for my leader my sister was an unholy

monster exactly like you Father

[Applause]

I'm grateful truth born to privilege

which you throw away who are you to

judge me you have not known cold or

hunger

if you had you would value the gifts

Shao Kahn gave

[Applause]

be grateful you still breathe

[Music]

[Applause]

Oh

[Applause]

[Music]

surrender or face the consequences

surrender from the brink of victory URIs

feeble-minded insecure

King Sharon the father you murdered and

stole me from I want to Jared wife Nazis

mother do not expect mercy this time

[Applause]

I'll not inherit your cruelty

[Music]

[Music]

do you feel anything Shao Kahn has

crippled me left me defenseless Knothole

I am by your side you would have me even

with my hardened heart I know your heart

it can change

[Music]

it is over Kotal Kahn the throne is

secure thank you Muraki shiva I have not

served your peoples well yet still you

aided me I will not forget we don't

release charity

we will share an ouch world's rule that

is up to her now what the throne is

yours

you have United out world katana Kahn

she's now officially out of your league

I am humbled Codel from this day on may

all our peoples fight together as one

[Music]

[Applause]

the news from out world is indeed

hopeful but the location of Caracas keep

remains a mystery

it is beyond the realms and has proven

to be beyond my sight do you know of

Caron Raven Caron of course

who is Caron master of the ancient ship

of the Dead sub-zero and I met him

during our time as revenants he travels

in a space beyond realms transporting

damned souls to the nether realm if the

keep lies there caught on may know its

location would he help us it is possible

but I cannot be sure I urge you both to

investigate we would leave immediately

locking down out worlds army is huge but

still I'd feel better if we had more

manpower

the Shaolin will join us liu kang and

kung lao travel now to aid the monks

preparations good I'll be leaving soon

to go after Johnny and Sonya I'll go too

we're both going No Raiden needs you for

an Intel up we need to get Sonya back

undoubtedly but chrono cos behavior

makes it clear that while mighty she is

not all-powerful otherwise why would she

attempt to steal Jin se think maybe

she's still building strength a distinct

probability then what's the next move

with the Dragon grottoes Jin say

fountain sealed there is no greater

energy source in earth realm and a well

of souls beneath Shang Tsung's Island

then we'd better go check it out I

regret that I cannot join you I must

keep vigil for signs of chronic as

further tampering with time we all have

our duty I am told you defeated shin our

Cassandra cage you will defeat the likes

of Kano but proceed with caution if

either Johnny or Sonya die you will

cease to exist it will be beyond my

power to save you

[Applause]

rise and shine Sonia

that's not fair so Sonja's the skank who

burns me she mo the burns you come off

she goes black ops on your ass shocks

knives the bloody works patched you back

together meself well most of you she's

dead

Miss Lauren order really does that talk

now but now is motivating

hope you're ready for some pre-emptive

vengeance what the hell you talking

about the ball you torturing me to get

dirt on the black dragon

don't believe every rumor you hear I'm

done entertaining you clowns

you didn't hear you cowards

[Applause]

shit

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

cut this shit you'll kill us whether we

fight or not and give him the

satisfaction of watching his fight like

hell you said it

fighting buys us time find a way out

so being Deva hid me

[Applause]

[Music]

where do you think you got

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

let's think about this future love I'm

alive but you're dead as a doornail

worst thing is it's those NetherRealm

stiffs did you in should have been me

let's have ourselves a do-over you might

be alive in this future but that can

change

[Music]

let me give you a break now this is a

pickle

can you break his neck faster than I can

cut pretty boy

don't forget it's two-for-one he does so

does your little girl

thanks Kay now for what for reminding me

one for time quick how about dinner

infinity

mother of Cassie cage yeah what of it

Cassie cage defeated shinnok son of

chronica I am his mother's friend gents

[Applause]

stay away from my daughter try coming

back from this

you okay I'll be fine

I come from tough stock listen what I

said I got the base about the mission it

wasn't fair you're a damn fine soldier

I'm so proud I can almost picture myself

dating Johnny almost I wish I could go

back through our last mission over

it wasn't easy finding out how I died or

could die but I reread the file you

followed orders saved your squad I'm

just glad that my sacrifice saved

Earthrealm and you besides you heard

Raiden things will never go back to what

they were we all have to choose our

destiny

you came in cool L or kidding about this

guy

Garrus failed when he returns I will

strengthen him further for the final

battle

speak your mind we've lost sock on his

old-world army and now the black dragon

while Raiden's allies have burned

precious time fighting Kano and shall

calm our most important work has

continued uninterrupted on Shang Tsung's

island that island is in ruins

what could possibly one craft requires

an abundance of raw temporal energy

every Mortal saw contains a lifetime of

this power every hour every minute every

second lived is stored within so soon

fed off souls he collected them in his

well of souls which remains untouched

beneath his Island a destiny I crafted

for Shang Tsung in case I ever had need

[Music]

Shang Tsung songs will be mine

[Music]

how's the view no sign yet of the

mystical barrier you mentioned oh you'll

know it when it comes how you feeling

the first time in a while in control I

got tossed into the deep end of this

world of gods and monsters but now

knowing my future I feel like I finally

come up for air those bad things that

happened to me me will happen to me like

Raiden said it's gonna be different

isn't this good news the things that

happened to my dad

that trauma he suffered it's why my

parents met they fell in love while he

was in recovery if they don't happen you

and mom may not meet

I may never be born Jackie I can't

pretend I get all this cosmic time stuff

but I do know you are here for a reason

you're not just some random accident I

hope so

[Music]

[Music]

Chang Stern's Island here we go again

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

when I was here for the tournament there

were people everywhere these guys looked

a lot younger seems like only yesterday

guess after Shang soon died this place

did too nobody's home

so much for needing stealth shoulda

brought the whole squad kana hope and

Brayton is wrong about the Well of Souls

I don't want to be here longer than we

multiple contacts how many two but one

of them circling us real fast

chronica new rain would send someone

here

give me ten seconds with this guy -

Braves we were partners under Quan Chi's

command you'll join me again cut the

wrong Jack's I haven't been a revenant

and I never will

times have changed with cabal I'll take

the speed freak

we buried you in another room you a

glutton for punishment it's only you and

me this time

there's no Castle to bury me under think

that hurt you have no idea I'm guessing

that hurt worse

you'll mount disturb Crona cos work

disturbed try nd you're done messing

with the Well of Souls you're not as

strong as you think Jax as I recall

findell made quick work I'll take the

lady in green

[Applause]

was the time when you knew to fight for

but between Quan Chi and chronica is a

mine Dave right

I joined Raiden against Shao Kahn he led

me to my doom now Raiden leads you there

too

I'll take my chances with radiant enough

dancing with the dead Brayden said this

well of souls would be underground this

way

[Music]

this is Goro's lair thankfully - girl

shame soon kept me locked up here back

at my first tournament never thought I'd

be back

remember we're a well of souls might be

couldn't tell you it was pretty beat up

it's all a bit hazy

[Music]

I'm guessing this is it that crowd five

bucks says it's chronicles its

there's no way that thing's unguarded

let's grab and go before whoever is on

duty gets back

[Music]

[Music]

I should know who that is

the first sub-zero scorpion ripped out

his spine left it in a heap upstairs and

shanks ins old thrown an event to the

new era with a white from history

hey go on Jackie I got this

spotted finish you got that right

I'm just that tough

yes sir Mac's not the only one who's

weak come on let's get that thing and

get out of here

enough of this new era you're not

rewriting history who's writing history

now come on let's get that big and get

out of here

[Music]

wait

[Music]

mind blown dad how'd you get here

I'll give you one guess - your your arms

those look like Kronecker design what

are you doing giving you the life you

deserve by destroying the universe

restarting it not destroying it being

the revenant the years I lost the things

I did your MA held me together but I was

never the father you needed you're

talking nonsense man you raised a fine

daughter she's one hell of a soldier she

shouldn't have been a soldier I never

wanted you out there taking those risks

if I hadn't fallen apart he wouldn't

have felt the need to enlist that's not

why I do this dad please

crowd I don't wanna hurt anybody this is

seriously messed up

came back to you I know I wouldn't want

to fight my dad how about we keep this

between me myself and I never thought

I'd stoop so low you don't know how bad

it gets

losing your arms was just the beginning

I know you suffered you still do but you

don't betray your unit and your source

that was all betray your family

time's up punk

there's got to be a way to make this

right

he's out but he'll recover

how are you tripping you did oh we can't

leave him let's get him in the crown out

of here

if I never come back here it'll be too

soon I heard that

Surrender Crona cos crowd and the elder

Jackson Briggs

no harm will come to No Deal

we know you betrayed the elder gods

Centurion chronica must restore the

balance that Raiden destroyed can you

not see he is the devil in these matters

at least he's the devil we know can we

take an elder god

Cassie beats shinnok only because the

cages are born with crazy magic powers

maybe we have our own magic

stand down please resistance only

ensures what are you doing

stand back you don't know what this

thing will do that crown is meant for

Kronecker your human physiology cannot

control its path we got to wear this

thing long enough to beat you miss it

accomplished

I can't let you you're not discussing it

is too frail to wield Crona cos weapon

for your own safety remove it it's not

time for safety it's time for action

eat your heart out Cassie cage

[Music]

you were warned mere mortals cannot

control the crowd I did not wish to harm

you but now you have forced my hand

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

the hell are you doing give me the crown

and I will spare her don't don't give it

her Oh her life is in your hands nobody

here wants to hurt anyone now please

don't let this happen to our girl

[Music]

damnit now putting Jackie back dad how

could you do this to me

I'm not doing this to you Jackie I'm

doing it for you I love you Veronica

awaits our return come on this fight

isn't over this will bring us our

deliverance

thank you both of you

I sense apprehension Jackson brakes I'm

not usually surrounded by so many

friendly faces we are unlikely allies

United for a common cause

worry not liu kang katana are the armies

assembled there in routes katana and I

will see that they arrive as planned

excellent

[Music]

as my strength gathers the new era draws

ever closer

[Music]

the report from Jacqueline Briggs her

father's actions have compromised our

situation gravely I know I can't I can't

believe you did this

even if we locate her Keith kronor cos

power now likely exceeds the might of

our combined forces maybe we should

rethink using shinnok's amulet

we cannot Cassandra cage I've seen what

you can do with it you held off the

entire NetherRealm army you weren't even

at full strength

I dare not risk the temptations of its

dark power

even now it calls to me

despite chronic --is advantages we must

attack as soon as we know that keeps

location it's been hours since we heard

from the grandmasters what's the plan if

they don't come back

they must or else hope is lost

[Music]

those Warriors must be headed for cronic

escape agreed but why not use Karin's

fleet the bridge clearly taxes her power

the fleets bouncer caught on it sails

only by his command that it's still

mourn such as he won't help cornica in

which case he may help us

it looks like caught on its home perhaps

hosting some unwelcome guests returns

the Earthrealm tell the others we found

him we'll deploy as soon as I return

are you certain Karan will aid us no but

he's our best chance

[Music]

[Music]

you should suffer now Veronica you fight

for lost causes

it's one ensures the hive survival you

will not save that should I Ryu the

should I die you will not fall land of

imposters will indeed form I've restored

the shit i Ryu built a clan that's never

been stronger on a foundation of

pretenders and Outsiders Kronecker told

me without our original bloodlines

there is no shit I'll are you our clans

Massacre extinguish them Kronecker will

revive the true share i ryu in the new

era

do not trust monica she uses your anger

to enslave you

let's concede it both of us I let go my

rage and it saved me to save yourself

you must do the same

it's past time you were freed we both

know what truly trusts you it's not

should I die you pride it's your wife

and child

Harumi and suppose she was stolen from

me

murdered seeing them again he's all that

matters we share this pain I fought

through hell to end it but corner cos

new era is not the remedy she would

resurrect she not the same devil who

brought death to our family and clan he

cannot be allowed to return when I

revived the charade are you I vowed our

clan would ensure Earth realms

protection

help me keep that promise

[Music]

Monica knew your costumes will distract

you now this one ends your misery Raiden

is that the fire goddess

enlist Karen's aid and bring Ravens army

to the keep you must you have my word

it's not not blood that makes them

warriors

[Music]

your Shaolin masters they're ready they

will fight until the last man that is

likely what it will take

there will not be a fight if Karan does

not help us is there any word from

Grandmaster Hisashi know if we do not

hear soon I will return to the nether

realm wrong Scott this cannot be good

get Raiden the fire Cotton's they built

the shit on our you are indeed be stored

why are you here scorpion

where is Grandmaster Hisashi is dead now

you have come to finish us I understand

you mistrust but I am here to assist you

I find that impossible to believe fort

who sent you here scorpion my future

self is dead I'm here at his behest

Grandmaster Hisashi sent you I honor his

dying wish

Karan will vary your office to the Isle

of cornica we must leave at once

do you have proof of Carens offer only

my word your word is worthless at the

tournament I trusted you despair beyond

and you betrayed me then the stake borne

of rage I seek Redemption fly scorpion

you are a slave and Karaka is your

master swords

[Applause]

Rayden you must listen spout your

falsehoods elsewhere scorpion chronica

will not entrap us it is no trap coroner

with you in the nether realm Lord Rayden

we should listen he may be telling the

truth there is only one way to find out

now go clear the truth Raiden stop this

step aside Liu Kang put down the amulet

its darkness is taking hold of you our

time has run out

I do what I must to save Earth realm

stay down this is not the way scorpion

is not the enemy this time Liu Kang do

not interfere

do not force my hand rule cane the

realms hang in the balance

to defend them I must command order I've

thought it impossible but the revenants

were right you cannot be trusted I do

not need trust

I demand obedience enough of your

madness if you must die Sofia

this this has happened before

[Music]

[Music]

okay do not interfere you cannot fight

shall calm

Luque stop enough of your madness if you

must die

so fear

[Music]

[Music]

I have been a fool Liu Kang Crona cos

puppet we only battle because she wills

it I must help him I was wrong to doubt

you I too have been a slave to anger

your rage was caused by Kronecker yes I

succumbed to her influence but then our

confrontation it unlocked memories

memories not only from this timeline but

from timelines that have come before

wait a sec timelines plural Kronecker

has restarted time on countless previous

occasions using each timeline to learn

and to perfect her plan the details of

each timeline are different but in each

one events conspire to bring Liu Kang

and I into conflict in each one he dies

only chronica has such power to control

time and fate I don't get it

why do that I do not know but be assured

Kronecker will control us no longer

at long last you see the pattern the

pattern but not the purpose why set me

against Lu Kang is it not obvious your

combined power threatens my vision for

the timeline liu kang and i will not be

divided further by your machinations o

Raiden do you think this is the first

time you made that vow we have repeated

this exact conversation so often in so

many timelines I have lost count this

timeline will end differently we have

played out all possible scenarios

raising you cannot win you are welcome

to try of course but without Lu Kang by

your side

[Music]

enjoy these final hours right

they are all you have

Lu Kang where is he Kronecker has taken

him to her aisle we must leave

immediately to save the realms we must

save okay a new look just for me

you shouldn't have what do you want from

me

you will aid in my protection not like

I have mastered sadaq sorcery I will add

your soul strength to mine and finally

avenge myself upon great my friends

Raiden's armies are coming they will

fight us and they will lose

[Music]

Crona casaya lies beyond the fog

[Music]

[Music]

and battleships my fairies cannot fight

a war this lead is under my protection

if Karan Falls our fleet cannot sail

protect him at all costs

[Music]

[Music]

I don't want to fight but I've got to

with jockeys sake here in mind let me

help you Crona cos promises to you were

a cruel deception she is the mother of

shinnok the architect of your revenant

enslavement

[Music]

no she's set Rihanna's mother set

Rihanna's shinnok sister in Crona cos

New Era shinnok will be the darkness to

balance set RIANZ light which will only

happen if the realms keep on fighting

each other

[Music]

what have I done I'm a fool it is not

foolish to fight for your family's

betterment I'm sorry

I promised to make this right

[Music]

[Music]

I have died a thousand deaths to prepare

for this battle my defeat is impossible

yours

your fate is decided I'm suffering

human right that is unfortunate for you

the sea of blood is bottomless

you will fall forever now do I have your

attention Raiden the Warriors thinking

your fleets are under my command you

have made a devil's bargain with Kodaka

Frost you ignored me my entire life

chromic I saw my talent from the start

MV an ambition consume you

such wasted potential the good she could

have done in command of these CyberLink

way she commands them not sector if so

she is linked to them they follow her

thoughts

then let them follow her to defeat

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Raiden's fleet mares are short

the two of you will command the army

defended the beachhead where will you be

land ho

[Music]

[Music]

time after time Kronecker schemes have

pitted us against each other that cycle

must end okay if I'm a twin your power

is this cornutus gift a gift to myself

say you stole your own soul

perverted your own nature it's a lesson

you taught me rated to fight my enemies

by any means necessary I have conquered

the darkness within me you must do the

same

you will have to peel me I would rather

see

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

you came I am and I am not what happened

to Raiden he is part of me to my soul he

made me a god for now at least

oh God incredible now he's out of her

League

my revenant counterpart I have absorbed

his knowledge of the Keith of Crona this

plan I know where to find the hourglass

we can beat chronica

[Music]

out of desperation comes invention I

have not thought it possible for Raiden

to surprise me our success is no longer

certain we must make haste

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

brace for impact

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

hand the hourglass is nearly ready

you will prevent Liu Kang's interference

but you will require more

whatever happens I am honored to fight

at your side

likewise okay me too brother

may the Elder Gods protect us

[Music]

[Music]

god of thunder and fire combining with

Raiden has the benefit of novelty but it

is also too little too late

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

regardless your allies are God but mine

remains to defend me finish

[Music]

Earth realms jinsei flows within you let

it fuel your fire

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

now stand down I have no wish to ha ha

you already killed me see the moment I

joined you afraid inside it's a mistake

I won't repeat in the new era our bond

was no mistake

Yuriko knows no bounds I did not ask for

this

it was thrust upon me it should have

been me Liu Kang from the beginning

thanks to Kronecker it will be still you

are alive

yes chronica you are right to fear mine

and Raiden's powers combined a demigods

power cannot rival that of an elder god

Catriona as you wish mother

you match me step by step

[Music]

because your heart is not in the battle

set we offer you fight for your mother's

vision but as a goddess of virtue you

know that her desired balance is folly

take me sorry on he lacks our vision and

wisdom please no virtue is served by

condemning the realms to end this war

the greatest virtue is abiding my

mother's will Liu Kang I cannot fail

what

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

your heart betrays you Centurion I have

failed you

dearest setri on you have done admirably

yet there is one final service to

perform yes mother

I understand

you will be exalted in the new era

Centurion

and you you can't have failed

history rewinds giving way to the new

era know the realms as you knew them are

undone erased you cannot save a future

that no longer exists there is only the

new era fault

[Music]

[Music]

the realms will not fight your endless

wars fight me further and your friends

are lost they have no future unless I

created the future you offer is not

worth living it will not come to pass

swords

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

our work is finished Liu Kang Lord rain

worthy to take my place as Earth realms

new protector Lord Liu Kang where do we

go from here the sands of time are yours

to shape you must return the hourglass

to the dawn of time and sculpt a new

history a better one the faith of all

realms in my hands Raiden I cannot do

this alone yes you will need a partner

with whom you can share the Aeons katana

your destinies have always been

intertwined

we are far in the past but not so far

that I cannot reach her return with her

to the dawn of time sculpt the hourglass

of sands to forge a better future I look

forward to meeting again in the next

timeline and I will not say goodbye

[Music]

[Music]

are you ready yes but no matter how we

sculpt the sands we cannot plan for

every possibility mortals will make

their own choices new evils will arise

each realm must choose its own destiny

whatever those choices we will face them

together once I gained the hourglass my

first thought was to rewrite history and

redeem the Lin Kuei honor but then I

thought of beyond his life consumed by

evil before I could redeem my clan I had

to redeem my brother with the hourglass

I wound back time to our childhood I

studied every second of be Hans life to

understand why why he embraced sectaurs

corruption why he reveled in the file

power given to him by Quan Chi armed

with that knowledge Irie sculpt in the

sands of time I changed be Hans life and

unfroze his heart

now we are comrades not rivals together

as joint grandmasters we need the Lin

Kuei in defense of Earth realm

I made my future self a promise that I

would not stay mired in the past but

once I controlled the hourglass I could

not keep that promise

I had to restore my family over and over

I crafted the sands of time yet in every

new timeline

my family's tragedy repeated I was

powerless to change it after eons I

learned the truth chronica was not alone

she was one of many Titus each more

powerful and ancient leaf elder gods it

is they who conspire against us myself

my family we are pawns in the game why

no but I will find out and then I will

have vengeance what does it mean to

wield the sands of time to be the chosen

one it means making choices that break

your heart for the protection of all I

shared Crone occurs power with the

people I trust and love most together we

replace the elder gods that setri on had

betrayed and became eternal guardians of

the realms still my heart longs for a

simpler life the kind one cannot have

being the chosen one let alone an elder

god what katana and I would not give for

those simple pleasures

[Music]

perhaps in another time line

yes

[Music]

Kronecker had manipulated me in timeline

after timeline she stoked my anger and

fed my arrogance turning me against Luke

hang my nose rubbed in my own

fallibility I was humbled

how could I be worthy to accept the

mantle as keeper of time

I thought that to control time and

destiny fairly I must purge myself of

all human emotion summoning the

strongest magic I burned away my fear

and anger all that remained was pure

logic but I learned quickly that the

logical choice is often not the just

choice unless tempered by compassion and

heart logic leads to decisions no better

than those based on anger or fear now I

am once more at times beginning but on

this journey through history I will

infuse logic with love in this timeline

I will finally achieve peace for the

citizens of all realms this whole

adventure capital I insane I marry Sonia

I have a kid who actually likes me

inquiring minds want to know how the

hell that happens so I get the hourglass

to show me how kicking shinnok's ass

which I did Johnson turned me from

Hollywood megastar into global icon so

far so good until I let that fame screw

me up didn't hit rock bottom until I saw

just how badly I had let down my little

girl

I finally got what old man me was saying

about needing humility and maturity but

I also knew I couldn't get there

without living the same life he did so I

restored the timeline just as it was

with one tiny little difference

Sonja's story won't end underneath the

level of some busted-up NetherRealm

castle

because Johnny Cage flicks always have

happy endings chronica said I would lead

the New Era's deadliest clan but she

made such promises to many she could

never keep them all so I betrayed her

before she could betray me when Lucas as

fused with my shadows my ambitions grew

why be a ruler of mortals when I uh draw

destiny itself mortals resisted but

could not stop my planet in history in

God endless night all is dark all the

shadows destroyer

I conquered history like I conquer the

realms merging billions of potential

timelines into a singularity the

universe has been remade in my image and

all is as it should be so we serve the

strong the strong compete for power

wealth and my favor in mortal combat for

centuries the tournament's champion has

gone undefeated that champion of course

I defeated Kronecker and when I did

there was only one thing I wanted to do

with the hourglass undo the defeat of my

ancestor the great kalau in my timeline

the great kalau was the undisputed

Mortal Kombat champion Earthrealm never

loses another tournament for generations

his example inspires millions to join

the White Lotus society and defend Earth

realm they in turn inspire rebels to

overthrow Shao Kahn in Outworld

the realms make peace until inevitably a

more powerful enemy comes along and

finds Earthrealm

backed by Kung Lao immortal Lord of time

and warrior supreme beat that Liu Kang

none of us saw chronica coming not even

Raiden but with the hourglass I can see

every terror in the realms any sane

person would run screaming at the sight

of them it's my duty to take out these

ancient all-powerful beings but to do

that I need an elite squad of immortal

gods turns out to make a new god you've

got to destroy an old one

so I hunt the oldest I can find an omni

deity from a forgotten unpronounceable

named realm it's the fight of my life

but I've got something this God doesn't

family in my past these were the people

who mattered most now they're my God

Squad

my daughter my brother-in-arms

my goddaughter yep even Johnny

but only because Cassie insisted and

maybe I missed him a little just don't

let him know that

of all his daughters sharkon made me

deadliest he pulled me from the gutter

bound me to the blood code

me fight

perhaps

when I bind the blood code to the sands

of time

now a blood god

I demand more than shall kinds of

recognition

I demand worship all happen temples

ministers acolytes prayers and

sacrifices rivers of blood shed in my

name purging heretics who dare to reject

me

[Laughter]

oh wow sharkon is mouth

and how obedient for the only thing

better than my Master's recognition is

to make him beg for my though I first

denied their truth eventually I realized

the wisdom of Liu Kang's words there is

virtue greater than my mother's desired

balance good must be allowed to flourish

but no matter how I reshaped time

rooting out evil proved impossible

no freed from want mortals still killed

each other / realm and race they easily

justified their hate hubris greed Envy

to appreciate my gifts mortal sins must

be cleansed which is why I baptized the

realms with fire for eons mortals will

battle evil eventually achieving victory

and when they emerge from the darkness

they will be humbled eager to embrace

the light

truth be told it surprised me putting

down chronica not bad for a scrawny kid

from wicked now that it's done now what

I don't cotton to being more dat I'm

stuck on some Island at the edge of

nowhere no Aaron black likes being in

the thick of it seems to me time oughta

stay all mashed up it's been a hell of a

ride got to keep these thrills coming

which means making sure no one gets a

chance to screw this up once the

hourglass gets dumped in the sea of

blood ain't no one ever shaping history

again what happens next

yeah laughs I know and that's just the

way I like it as I gazed upon the

hourglass I knew what I must do

restore my homeland edenia to existence

experiencing and aeneas verdant lands

for the first time I've never felt such

joy but that joy was short-lived

Oh Denny Asst traditions its languages

its culture all were completely foreign

having been forbidden to me by Shao Khan

I fit in with my people no better than

at our cotton the truth was hard lowered

in e'en by blood I am NOT beneden I am

an outworlder not only that I am

outworlds Khan I will use ancient

edenian teachings to make myself a

better sovereign with them I will

fulfill my life's mission to better all

of out world's people including edenia

chronica made big promises not big

enough though for what my people

suffered our hands built the Coliseum in

the palace we were slaves

reserved or we died

every coin I told from shao kahn's

tributes Outworld old my people let my

not neuron brothers and sisters join

arms to help me know every great

treasure I have one I have one myself

I do not wait for handouts I take what I

desire that is why I am now gone never

ever or the realm chaos realm I want

them all and I will take them by right

of MORTAL KOMBAT in her last moments

Crona car tried to tempt me spare her

and she would rewrite history with Jade

as my queen I would rule an eternal

ashtec empire that spanned all the

realms but cronic I never understood the

ashtec heart our lives our cloth woven

from choice and circumstance pull even

one thread that cloth is torn asunder

and made worthless now that I am tasked

with keeping time others beg me to have

their histories rewritten but as long as

the hourglass is mine I will not shape

destiny in any one beings favor history

will play out as determined by its

players let the sands fall where they

may

Sub Zero dismissed me Rayden dismissed

me they all did

even chrome naka until I froze the smug

looks of all their faces and became the

Lin Kuei snoo grandmaster the hourglass

offers even greater prospects with it

I'll mold history to carve my name on

everyone's lips but even its power has

limits my vision can be upended by

people's individual choices

unlike crow Naga I won't let these

imperfections fester until time itself

must be restarted

[Music]

the Lin Kuei will be my time warriors

traveling through history they'll get

rid of those whose actions threaten my

vision from now on no one will overlook

my greatness I'll never be dismissed

again because power was mine mine to

share with a tribe in the new timeline I

built da cottons would be slaves no more

we last we challenged our throne in

Mortal Kombat's

within a thousand years all we have not

run out of neat sense chronicles endless

cycle of rewinding and restarting

timelines had destroyed my spirit but

she refused to grant me either freedom

or death so I took her power to do what

she could not I would create one final

perfect timeline then I would rest but

the task was more difficult than I

imagined

mortals refused to follow the paths I

set for them timeline after timeline my

frustration grew I began to understand

why Kronecker had been driven to madness

perhaps mortals do not need a lord of

time I will sacrifice my body and my

mental to reefs cope the same so that

the hourglass runs itself and for the

first time in all eternity I can rest in

peace

for the second time in my life I kicked

the living shit out of an immortal my

prized the hourglass now I can change

history

talk about redonkulous cosmic power but

despite what you may think about Beverly

Hills girls that is so not my style a

chosen one thing is for the Liu Kang's

and katanas of the world in the next

timeline all I want is to be a model

soldier to command the next generation

of Special Forces we were born to defend

earth realm just like the heroes that

inspired me my parents okay so there's

one more thing I want my mom back not

just for me but for dad he and my mom

deserve a happily ever after retirement

we'll never know how different things

were the last time around but we'll be

together a family and that's all that

matters

all I wanted was to fix my life now I

have the power to fix history Raiden

warns me I can't fix everything change

too much and I could lose birra who's

Jackie but this power is bigger than us

if I think only about helping myself

what kind of officer am I what kind of

man

I've been lucky my family and I have

lived the American dream but most people

look like me haven't had that chance I

owe it to them to put things right and

I'm not waiting centuries for people to

get woken when I've got the power to

speed things up I don't get it right the

first time or the second or even the

third but eventually I knock it out of

the damn park my family's back the

world's a better place for everyone

turns out you can have everything

anyone who says you can't needs to dream

bigger

[Music]

shit sounds cool right the power to

control time immortality destiny well

let me tell you this job sucks there's

no pay no weekends and your shift lasts

forever the only smart play is to turn

back time and give it back to cronic I

bet your ass she's grateful too I didn't

ask her for much just a chance to take

out anyone who's ever tried to burn me

black dragon was always more of a gig

than a Brotherhood anyway now I get to

live large enjoying the simple life of a

well-to-do family man

and if Shou Connor shinnok ever come

knockin my family and I'll take him down

just like I took down shit ox mom

[Music]

I'd cut a lot of deals but none spiffier

than this I spared Kronecker and she

gave up the hourglass the power to shape

time and history to my liking

oh fuck yeah in the having it was in the

getting so I changed things are one more

time now what I want is always just how

to reach I got it I score lots of wins

but not always

and what I do with the home it's

something to say

the hourglass was there for the taking

and I could think of only one thing dad

killed made a revenant resurrected since

coming back dad's never forgotten that

things he did for Quan Chi I thought

with the hourglass I could fix all that

and I can

dad won't die in that massacre he'll

never be revenant but turns out what my

guts told me since the start of all of

this is true

dad and mom got together when he was in

treatment he doesn't suffer they don't

meet and I'll never be born and you know

what I'm good with that I'm not just

protecting dad I'm protecting everyone

he'll risk his life to save in my shoes

it's what he would do it's what a Briggs

does I know you'll never hear this but

goodbye dad I love you I held the power

to shape time and destiny but I was lost

which column should be restored my lover

Kotal when my loyal friend katana I

heard codels voice call out to me

follow your heart dude so I let my heart

lead and it took me to an unexpected

place a faint memory of home and my

mother I restored my parents in a denia

building a new era without shalt Khan

and what a happy childhood I enjoyed but

as I matured I sensed that I was no

ordinary child

Crona cos power dwelled within me

calling me to a higher purpose when I

came of age I ascended to godhood as the

protector of edenia

armed with the knowledge of past

timelines I challenged shinnok and

Satriani

without cronikeys children pitting the

realms against each other all could be

at peace and remain so under my watchful

eyes vermin that is the humanoid word

for the chitin and our fellow insectoids

but with the hourglass this one can

review history and give light to that

myth humanoids live to kiss without a

common enemy to fight they divide

destroy each other

insectoids live to survive no conflicts

divide us we build upon each other King

doesn't

kill him so tell this one who are the

Furman time for this one to write a more

just history one in which pesky

humanoids finally take the places they

deserve scrambling beneath our feet

[Music]
