Mortal Kombat II (NCU Potential Project)

Mortal Kombat II is a Japanese potential project.

Summary
Outworld claims another Mortal Kombat tournament (merely weeks after the last one) in the hopes of claiming Earthrealm.

Plot Elements

 * 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, 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, Jade, Kintaro, Noob Saibot, Reptile, Scorpion, Shang Tsung, and the emperor's twin daughters Kitana and Mileena.
 * 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 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.
 * Kitana manages to demerge Edenia from Outworld and claims the throne, with Jade as her bodyguard.
 * Jax frees Sonya, and they continue their pursuit of Kano.
 * Johnny Cage makes Mortal Kombat II, another instantaneous success.
 * Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Raiden pay respect to their fallen White Lotus Society comrades.
