Mortal Kombat

550 years ago, the sorcerer Shang Tsung was cursed by the Gods to consume the souls of warriors to maintain his youth. To do this, Shang Tsung entered the Shaolin Tournament known as Mortal Kombat:

Shang Tsung won the title of Grand Champion and went on to win many more tournaments, unknown to the Shaolin each victory for Shang Tsung was granting a dark power. That is until the noble and honorable Shaolin Monk, Kung Lao challenged Shang Tsung in the tournament, Kung Lao emerged victorious and was crowned the new champion of Mortal Kombat.

For 50 years, Shang Tsung had vanished, but in the next tournament, he would return, now he had aged greatly, but he brought with him a pupil named Goro, the 4-armed Shokan Prince. In the final round, Kung Lao and Goro fought with much intensity, but ultimately Goro came out the victor removing Kung Lao of his belt, Shang Tsung then devoured Kung Lao's soul and took control of the tournament.

Shang Tsung's master, the emperor of the realm of Outworld, Shao Kahn was very pleased at these events, by winning 10 Mortal Kombat tournaments, the border between the two realms would be undone, allowing Shao Kahn to add Earthrealm to Outworld. For 500 years, Goro defeated opponent after opponent with 9 victories for Outworld, one more win and Earthrealm will be Shao Kahn's…

But there are warriors who will be representing Earth in the tournament; one of these 7 will decide the outcome:

Liu Kang: A Shaolin Monk and former member of the White Lotus Society, who desires to bring the tournament back to Shaolin control and rid Earthrealm of Shang Tsung's treachery.

Johnny Cage: A movie star, who has joined the tournament out of spite for critics who claim his skills are nothing more than special effects and camera trickery.

Kano: A mercenary and leader of the Black Dragon clan, Kano has heard of the tales of the riches in Shang Tsung's palace and joins the tournament to lay his hands on them.

Sonya Blade: A Special Forces agent hired to track down Kano, who killed her former partner, Sonya will not rest until Kano is caught.

Sub-Zero: A Lin Kuei assassin, assigned to assassinate Shang Tsung, Sub-Zero will find that one of his past victims is coming back to hunt him down.

Scorpion: a reincarnated ninja specter, who was killed by Sub-Zero, two years ago. Scorpion will not rest until he gets his revenge on the one who took everything from him.

Raiden: The Thunder God and protector of Earthrealm, Raiden joins the tournament in the form of a human to guide Earth's warriors to overcome Shang Tsung.

Let Mortal Kombat begin…

500 years after Goro's defeat of Kung Lao, the Shaolin have sought to regain control of their tournament from the clutches of Shang Tsung, many warriors tried and failed, they all fell to the might of Goro.

But now in honor of Kung Lao, a young man named Liu Kang will enter the tournament to defeat Goro and Shang Tsung and bring the tournament back to Shaolin Control. Liu Kang was once a Shaolin Monk, who had left to join the White Lotus Society, but with the tournament approaching, he leaves the White Lotus Society to represent the Shaolin Monks in the Mortal Kombat tournament. He has been trained by many masters, he is Earthrealm's best hope for victory.

Liu Kang walked into the main hall, where he found the highest ranking Shaolin Monk waiting for him sitting on a large high chair, he walked down the long red carpet until finally he reached the high council of the Shaolin, holding a small rolled up parchment in his hand, he was dressed in only a pair of red and black pants with a bandana over his forehead.

This monk, Master Wu bowed back and spoke to the young warrior as he stood up. "I understand that you have requested permission to compete in Shang Tsung's tournament?"

"Yes, Master Wu. I have been asked to attend." Liu Kang said, silently.

Master Wu smiled and continued, "You must not overlook the true motive of Tsung's invitation. In his eyes your defeat at the hands of Goro would most certainly put an end to the threat of the Shaolin ever retaking the contest." He finished gravely.

With this, Liu Kang's eyes lit up and he eagerly spoke. "But," he said quickly. "Goro has grown overconfident."

"As would any warrior with a 500 year stretch of victories. Your mind and spirit must work as one to walk with the wind. These attributes will enable you to put an end to Shang Tsung's treachery. I grant you permission Liu Kang. The Shaolin depend on your victory!"

"I will not fail…" Liu started silently. "That is my promise!" he said, aloud.
