Plot Elements

 * Thousands of years ago, an Elder God named Shinnok went rogue and waged war on Earthrealm. After a long and grueling, which resulted in the death of an entire civilization, Raiden defeated the fallen Elder God, confiscated his amulet, and banished him to the Netherrealm.
 * In the present, the amulet is stolen by a Netherrealm sorcerer named Quan Chi—resulting in the deaths of many gods—who uses it to free Shinnok from his confines; however, he gave the fallen Elder God a replica and kept the real one for himself.
 * Meanwhile, we look into the lives of some of the heroes:
 * Cyrax is found by the Special Forces/Outer World Investigation Agency and reprogrammed into helping them.
 * Jax and Sonya Blade are hunting down Jarek, the last remaining member of the Black Dragon.
 * Kung Lao has faked his death and retired of fighting.
 * Sub-Zero aims to turn the Lin Kuei into a force for good.
 * Free from the Netherrealm, Shinnok waged war on all the realms once again, beginning his conquest on Edenia. Liu Kang is sent by Raiden to save the royal family but is too late, resulting in him becoming heartbroken in believing Princess Kitana is dead.
 * Shinnok next target is Earthrealm, summoning a bunch of Kombatants to aid him:
 * Baraka
 * Goro
 * Aims to defeat Liu Kang in revenge but loses once again.
 * Jarek: The sole survivor of the Black Dragon.
 * Meat
 * Mileena
 * Noob Saibot
 * Quan Chi
 * Reiko: A general of Shinnok during his first invasion, he returns to aid his master once again.
 * Reptile
 * Scorpion
 * Sektor
 * After Cyrax failed to return to the Lin Kuei, Sektor is sent to find and (if necessary) terminate him.
 * Tanya: The daughter of Edenia's ambassador. She is a sole survivor of Shinnok's invasion; while she was helping a bunch of refugees seek shelter, one of them turned out to be Shinnok, so she aids the Earthrealm to redeem herself; however, her true colors are revealed after failing to lure Liu Kang into a trap.
 * Raiden summons his own band of Kombatants to stop Shinnok:
 * Cyrax
 * Fujin: Raiden's brother; the God of Wind and a survivor of Quan Chi's attack.
 * Jax
 * Johnny Cage
 * He convinces Raiden to resurrect him so he can aid the Earthrealmsres.
 * Kai: A While Lotus Society Shaolin Monk from America.

 * Kung Lao
 * Returns after hearing that Goro has returned.
 * Liu Kang
 * Sonya
 * Sub-Zero
 * Liu Kang defeats Shinnok, once again proving himself as the Champion of Mortal Kombat.
 * Cyrax becomes self-aware and begins remembering his pre-Cyber Initiative life. With the help of the Special Forces, he reclaims his humanity and decides to join them.
 * Goro negotiates a peace treaty with the Shokan and Edenians—though not before receiving a ceremonial strike from Kung Lao.
 * Jax and Sonya chase Jarek off a cliff, believing the Black Dragon to finally be finished.
 * Johnny Cage returns to movie career, but after earning an award for his latest movie, he became too arrogant that be opened his big mouth during the awards cermony, only to be met with a bunch of boos and jeers; this would taint his reputation as well as ruin his career.
 * Kitana offers Liu Kang the chance to rule Edenia with her, but he declines due to his status as Earthrealm's one-and-only protector.
 * Mileena attempts to kill Kitana and take the throne of Edenia for herself, but she was dropped into the palace dungeons.
 * Scorpion defeats Sub-Zero and prepares to finish him off, but Quan Chi arrives and reveals that it was HIM who murdered his family and clan. Hoping to atone for his misdirected vengeance—as well as take vengeance on the true culprit—Scorpion drags the sorcerer back to the Netherrealm and begin chasing him down.
 * As for Raiden, the services have now given him the chance to join the Elder God; before his ascension, he chooses Fujin to become the new Protector of Earthrealm.
