Chapter 01: Mortal Kombat

 * Long ago, there existed six realms:
 * Chaosrealm
 * Earthrealm
 * Edenia
 * Netherrealm
 * Orderrealm
 * Outworld
 * All six realms co-existed in peace and harmony...until Outworld invaded and merged with Edenia.
 * In response to this unlawful invasion, the Elder Gods—the watchers and protectors of the six realms—announced Mortal Kombat, a martial arts tournament held once every 500 years, in which a conquering realm must defeating a defending realm before invasion and mergence.
 * If the conquering realm wins ten tournaments in a row, then they would be allowed to conquer and merge with the realm they defeated.
 * If the defending realm wins ten tournaments in a row, then the conquering realm would be forbidden from making anymore invasion attempts.
 * In the first Outworld vs. Earthrealm tournament, a martial arts sorcerer named Shang Tsung competed on behalf of Earthrealm and won by absorbing the souls of the defeated Kombatants.
 * Because of his unruly nature, Shang Tsung was disowned by the Elder Gods.
 * Angered, Shang Tsung won the next OvEa tournament—this time on behalf of Outworld. Upon victory, he claimed the tournament for himself as ownership and legalized killing—dubbing them as "Fatalities"; all future Outworld-hosted tournaments would be held on his island.
 * Shang Tsung would then go on to win eight more tournaments for Outworld; however, on the eve of their final victory, Shang Tsung was defeated by a Shaolin Monk named The Great Kung Lao, thus resetting Outworld's victory streak and earning Earthrealm its first of ten required victories.
 * Kung Lao then won eight OvEa tournaments, leaving Earthrealm one victory away from permanent protection from Outworld.
 * In desperation, Shang Tsung enlisted the aid of Goro, the prince of the Shokan race, to compete; Goro defeated and beat Kung Lao to death, thus resetting Earthrealm's streak and restarting Outworld's.
 * Goro went on to win eight more tournaments for Outworld, leaving one victory away from conquering Earthrealm.
 * For the next tournament, Shang Tsung invited many Kombatants to compete.
 * While many Kombatants (like Kano, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero) are willing to murder their opponents, others (like Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, and Sonya) are more merciful and willing to spare their opponents.
 * The spared Earthrealm-aligned Kombatants are later assassinated by an invisible figure.
 * The tournament continues until only six Kombatants remain:
 * Johnny Cage: A failing martial arts actor hoping for a comeback.
 * Kano: The leader of the Black Dragon mercenary and arms dealing organization, hired on behalf of Shang Tsung.
 * Liu Kang: A Shaolin Monk born and raised by the White Lotus Society at the Wu Shi Academy.
 * Accompanying Liu Kang is his mentor Raiden, the God of Thunder and Protector of Earthrealm.
 * Scorpion (AKA Hanzo Hasashi): A undead Japanese ninja of the Shirai Ryu, seeking revenge on Sub-Zero for the death of his family and clan.
 * Sonya Blade (AKA Bi-Han): A Special Forces agent hunting Kano and the Black Dragon for the death of her partner and twin brother Daniel Blade.
 * Sub-Zero: A Chinese ninja of the Lin Kuei, hired on behalf of Shang Tsung.
 * Johnny is defeated but spared by Sonya. On his way back to the boat. Johnny is attacked by the invisible assassin and thrown into the Pit, but he survives, and the assassin reveals his invisible form: Reptile (AKA Syzoth). Reptile is defeated and exposed to the other Kombatants by Johnny, and Shang Tsung reveals that he hired Reptile to assassinate the Earthrealm-aligned Kombatants so he could steal their souls and retain his immortality—an act he has been doing to every defeated Earthrealm-aligned Kombatant since the first tournament.
 * Scorpion defeats and burns Sub-Zero to death.
 * Eventually, Liu Kang remains as the last remaining Earthrealm-aligned Kombatant. Liu Kang is challenged by Goro, but despite near death, the former is victorious.
 * Desperate to achieve victory on behalf of Outworld, Shang Tsung fights Liu Kang as the final challenge, but he is defeated as well, breaking Outworld's streak and protecting Earthrealm for at least 5000 years.
 * Johnny Cage makes a movie named Mortal Kombat, detaining his experience at the tournament (yet falsely proclaiming himself as the victor), reviving his movie career.
 * Sonya continues her pursuit of Kano.
 * Scorpion returns to the remains of the Shirai Ryu with Sub-Zero's remains, announcing that they have been avenged; however, the spirits of his family and clan don't welcome him home for some reason.
 * Liu Kang returns home and is celebrated for his victory by Raiden.

Chapter 02: Mortal Kombat II

 * The defeated Shang Tsung is brought forth by the Emperor of Outworld for his failure in the OvEa Mortal Kombat tournament. The emperor blames the sorcerer for ruining Outworld's victory streak and making Earthrealm be protected for about 5000 years. As he prepares to execute the sorcerer, Shang Tsung suggests changing the rule as the emperor's hammer seemingly falls onto him.
 * A few weeks after the events of the previous OvEa Liu Kang is busy training Shaolin Monks at the Wu Shi Academy when it is attacked of a horde of Tarkatans, led by Baraka; Liu Kang is one of the few survivors, along with his best friend Kung Lao and mentor Raiden. Shang Tsung then appears before the survivors and sways them to go to Outworld for revenge.
 * Johnny Cage is enjoying the fame of his Mortal Kombat movie when he receives a calling from Raiden to go to Outworld.
 * Sonya Blade tracks Kano to Outworld, but it turns out to be a trap, and she is captured by the emperor. Before her capture, she manages to relay an SOS to her CO Jax Briggs, who arrives in Outworld to save her.
 * Sub-Zero—thought to have been killed by Scorpion—also arrives in Outworld with his sworn brother Smoke, seeking revenge against Scorpion.
 * The Earthrealmers are then greeted by Shao Kahn, the Emperor of Outworld, who challenges them to another tournament in exchange abandoning his conquest of Earthrealm upon defeat; otherwise, Shao Kahn will merge with Earthrealm if victorious.
 * Among Shao Kahn's Kombatants include:
 * Baraka: The leader of the Tarkatans.

 * Kitana falls in love with Liu Kang, and they begin a forbidden love. Mileena discovers the romance and attempts to assassinate both of them, during which Kitana discovers what lies behind Mileena's mask: Tarkatan teeth. Confronting her father, Kitana learns that she is not his real daughter; her real parents, the rulers of Edenia, died during Outworld's invasion. On the other hand, Mileena is a Tarkatan clone of her created by Shang Tsung as a replacement. Horrified, Kitana betrays her adopted father and vows to free Edenia from his tyrannical grip.
 * Sub-Zero defeats Scorpion, revealing himself as Kuai Liang, the younger brother of the original Sub-Zero Bi-Han; however, when Scorpion urges Sub-Zero to kill him so he may join his family and clan, Sub-Zero spares him (an act Noob Saibot is not too fond about) and claims that his vengeance is misdirected. In retaliation, Scorpion leaves a vertical scar across Sub-Zero's left eye and vows that he will regret showing mercy someday.
 * The tournament continues until Liu Kang remains, who then defeats Shao Kahn—seemingly freeing Earthrealm from Outworld forever.
 * Jax frees Sonya, and they continue their pursuit of Kano.
 * Kitana manages to demerge Edenia from Outworld and claims the throne.
 * Johnny Cage makes Mortal Kombat II, another instantaneous success.
 * Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Raiden pay respect to their fallen White Lotus Society comrades.

 * The Lin Kuei have started a program called the "Cyber Initiative", in which three Lin Kuei ninjas are chosen to be converted into cyborgs. Although Sektor, the son of the Lin Kuei master, volunteered for the program, Cyrax, Smoke, and Sub-Zero disapprove; Cyrax was converted while helping Smoke and Sub-Zero escape, but Smoke was captured and converted as well.

 * Suddenly, the Dragon King himself—Onaga—arrives to reclaim his army.

 * In an effort to spare the Realms, Delia’s husband Argus (an Elder God) constructs a pyramid where the battle will take place and has his sons, Taven and Daegon, put into dormant states in caverns. Delia instructs her Elemental, Blaze, to signal their dragons to awaken them just before final battle commences.
 * In the future, Taven is awakened by his dragon Orin in Earthrealm and is told that he and Daegon will be competing against each other in their quest.
 * Wishing to speak with his father, Taven teleports to his father’s temple and fights several members of the Black Dragon as well as mysterious warriors in red only to find it deserted. He eventually finds a message left to him and Daegon by Argus stating that they will be competing to take his place as an Elder God by defeating Blaze and that he has left weapons for each of them.
 * When Taven finds both weapons are missing, he is suddenly stunned unconscious by Sektor.
 * Despite being imprisoned on a Tekunin warship, Taven manages to free himself and defeat Sektor before escaping back to Orin’s portal.
 * Taven then travels to his mother's temple in the mountains where she has left armor for Daegon and himself.
 * Upon reaching the Temple, Taven finds that it has been occupied by the Lin Kuei and is forced to fight through their assassins including Frost and their Grand Master Sub-Zero.
 * Upon defeating the latter, Taven retrieves his armor and is soon attacked by Dark Lin-Kuei.
 * Alongside Sub-Zero, Taven defeats the attackers after fighting both Smoke and Noob Saibot.
 * With Taven’s assistance, Sub-Zero reveals the identity of the mysterious warriors attacking him as the Red Dragon and that they are based out of Charred Mountain.
 * Upon traveling through the portal, Taven is forced to fight Fujin when the latter warns him to return to Edenia.
 * Taven reluctantly defeats the wind god and proceeds to the Red Dragon stronghold and finds Daegon, who is now much older.
 * Despite being reunited, Daegon reveals himself as the leader of the Red Dragon and his intention to kill Taven in order to kill Blaze first.
 * Taven then fights several enemies and eventually finds Daegon’s dragon Caro, who had been imprisoned and experimented on.
 * Upon being freed, Caro reveals that he had accidentally awoken Daegon earlier than planned which resulted in Daegon seeking out and murdering Argus and Delia upon learning the true nature of the competition.
 * Hoping to atone for his mistake, Caro informs Taven that Daegon has gone to the Netherrealm and stays behind to destroy the Red Dragon stronghold.
 * Arriving in the Netherrealm, Taven repels an ambush by Drahmin before noticing Shinnok being attacked by Li Mei.
 * Believing that he is still an Elder God, Taven comes to Shinnok’s defense and is later tasked to help reclaim his Spire in exchange for answers of Daegon’s whereabouts.
 * After Taven defeats Havik, Sheeva, and Kintaro, Shinnok reclaims his throne and informs Taven that Daegon has returned to Earthrealm and transports him there. However, it is revealed that Shinnok is actually assisting Daegon and has informed other warriors of the contest’s prize in order to eliminate all the competitors.
 * Upon returning to Orin’s cave, Taven finds him mortally wounded from an attack by Quan Chi.
 * On the verge of death, Orin keeps Quan Chi’s portal open to prevent Taven from remaining trapped in the cave with him.

 * Before he can follow however, Taven is confronted by Raiden who reveals he has made a deal with Shao Khan to assist him in exchange for Earthrealm’s independence.
 * Shocked at Raiden’s betrayal, Taven defeats him before taking Quan Chi’s portal to Edenia.
 * Once through the portal, Taven fights and defeats Scorpion before being confronted by Daegon. Before they can fight however, they are interrupted by Blaze who informs them that the competition has been corrupted and that they’re fighting in the wrong place.
 * Transported to the edge of the crater, Taven and Daegon engage in a final battle.
 * Although Taven ultimately kills Daegon, he becomes disillusioned with the quest and refuses to go further until Blaze reveals the true nature of the quest:
 * With all the fighters engaged in Mortal Kombat in the crater, Blaze reveals that it will be the epicenter of the apocalypse unless the quest is fulfilled. With their respective armors being the catalysts for ending Armageddon, only Taven and Daegon are meant to defeat Blaze with one of two outcomes occurring depending on which brother completed the quest first and will either destroy all the warriors or strip them of powers and abilities.
 * Reclaiming his sword from his fallen brother, Taven travels through a portal and fights his way to the top of the pyramid to confront Blaze.
 * Taven ultimately wins, but before he can deal the finishing blow to Blaze and prevent Armageddon, Shao Kahn suddenly reaches the top of the pyramid and kills both Kombatants, who are both weakened and overwhelmed from their battle.
