 * Li Mei is severly injured and rescued by Bo' Rai Cho.
 * Frost, Sub-Zero's apprentice, uses this opportunity to steal her master's medallion in the hopes of becoming more powerful (as well as surpass Sub-Zero as Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei); however, the medallion's power was too powerful for her to control, and she i consumed by her own ice powers. Sub-Zero is forced to retreat and bury her in the ancient ruins of a holy structure erected by the long-lost race of Cryomancers.
 * During this ordeal, Repite discovers a Dragon Egg in the Netherrealm being guarded by Blaze; after Blaze's defeat, the egg hatches and strikes Reptile as a giant dragon emerges from the egg.
