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.

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.

 * During the invasion, Smoke is captured by two cyborgs that Sub-Zero identifies as Cyrax and Sektor.
 * 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.

 * Kitana explains that while she was a newborn baby, Shao Kahn invaded Edenia, killed her father King Jerrod, merged her realm with Outworld, and forced Queen Sindel to be his wife; however, Sindel killed herself out of grief, leaving her daughter to be abusively raised by Shao Kahn—this is what led to the Elder Gods commencing the Mortal Kombat tournament.

 * Despite his best efforts, Raiden is defeated as well.
 * Quan Chi and Shang Tsung take this opportunity to turn on each other and claim Shinnok's Amulet in the hopes of gaining control of the Dragon King's army—with the former winning.
 * Suddenly, the Dragon King himself—Onaga—arrives to reclaim his army.

Shao Kahn demanded the realm of Edenia, but Jerrod refused; however, Kitana's crying began growing loud enough for everyone to hear, Sindel "betrays" Jerrod and murders him, proclaiming her love for strong and powerful emperor; in reality: she did so to protect Kitana from danger. After the merging, Shao Kahn and Sindel became the rulers of the merged realms of Edenia and Outworld and are planning to conquer the other four realms as well—staring with Earthrealm; however, late one night, Sindel attempted to murder his husband in his sleep the hopes of saving her realm and the other, but Quan Chi, who had been watching through the Netherrealm and hoping to delay Shinnok's invasion so Shinnok to proceed with his, foils her plan and murders her, staging it to look like a suicide. And THIS would lead to the commencement of the Mortal Kombat tournament.

Chapter 07: Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

 * In Edenia, the sorceress Delia has a vision of the future where the forces of good and evil will engage in a final battle of Mortal Kombat that threatens to end all realms.
 * 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.
 * Vowing revenge, Taven goes through the portal and arrives at Shao Khan’s palace in Outworld.
 * After reaching the palace dungeons, Taven fights and defeats Mileena and comes across a captive Shujinko who informs him of a meeting taking place in Shao Kahn’s throne room.
 * After fighting through Goro and Reiko, Taven reaches the meeting between Quan Chi, Shang Tsung, Onaga, and Shao Khan where they agree to an alliance to take possession of the contests prize before transporting themselves to Argus’s pyramid.
 * 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.
 * Absorbing Blaze's powers, Shao Kahn laughs in triumph as more Kombatants begin reaching the top of the pyramid.

Chapter 08: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

 * After Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm is halted by Raiden's forces of light, Raiden blasts and sends Kahn through a portal.
 * At exactly the same time on Earth, Superman stops Darkseid's Apokoliptian invasion by blasting Darkseid with his heat vision as he enters a boom tube.
 * These acts do not destroy either of them, but merge them into Dark Kahn, and causes the DC and Mortal Kombat universes to merge.
 * As this happens, the characters' abilities fluctuate, causing violent "rage" outbreaks that are actually the feelings of Dark Kahn being infused in the characters from afar.
 * Because of this, certain characters gain either strength or vulnerability.
 * This allows for such things as the possibility of Superman being defeated due to his vulnerability to magic and giving the Joker the ability to fight skilled martial artists such as his nemesis Batman and Deathstroke.
 * With each world thinking that the other is responsible for the merger, they fight each other until only one fighter from each side remains: Raiden and Superman.
 * In the final battle, the two fight while Dark Kahn feeds on their rage.
 * Both realizing that neither is working with Dark Kahn, Raiden and Superman overcome their rage for each other and defeat their fused enemy, restoring the two worlds to their normal separation.
 * While everyone else has been sent to their original universe, Darkseid and Shao Kahn have been switched and are both rendered powerless.
 * In the end, they both face eternal imprisonment in the other's universe; Darkseid is restrained in the Netherrealm, while Shao Kahn is trapped in the Phantom Zone.

Chapter 09: Mortal Kombat IX

 * During the Armageddon war, all warriors from the realms have been killed, leaving only Raiden and Shao Kahn remaining.
 * Having defeated Blaze, Shao Khan is imbued with godlike power and easily overpowers Raiden.
 * In a final attempt to stop Shao Kahn, Raiden casts one last spell to send a message to his past self through his shattered amulet, with the vague message "He must win" before Shao Kahn delivers a killing blow on him.
 * During the events of the first tournament from the first film/season/graphic novel/chapter, the past Raiden sees visions of the future due to the message he received and notices his amulet has been damaged.
 * Raiden concludes that Liu Kang must win the tournament to save Earthrealm.
 * During the tournament, Liu Kang becomes the only remaining Earthrealm contender, due in part to Scorpion's murder of Bi-Han, better known as Sub-Zero, in retaliation for the latter's massacre of the former's Shirai Ryu clan including Scorpion's wife and infant son some years earlier.
 * Raiden pleads with Scorpion to spare Sub-Zero in exchange for asking the Elder Gods to resurrect Scorpion’s clan.
 * Scorpion reluctantly agrees, but Quan Chi produces false visions in Scorpion’s mind, enraging him and causing him to slay Sub-Zero as he did in the original timeline.
 * Liu Kang is successful in defeating the Shokan Prince Goro, as well as the crafty sorcerer Shang Tsung.
 * Raiden's amulet, however, cracks further, a sign that future events remain unchanged.
 * Disappointed with the sorcerer's failure, emperor Shao Kahn orders Shang Tsung's execution, but is convinced otherwise when the sorcerer suggests holding a second tournament in Outworld with different stakes: if Earthrealm wins, Outworld will leave them alone forever, but if Outworld wins, they will be allowed to invade Earthrealm uninhibited. Though he initially refuses, Raiden relents when Tarkatans invade Earthrealm as part of Shang Tsung's blackmail against Earthrealm.
 * During the second tournament, Bi-Han's younger brother Kuai Liang decides to become the new Sub-Zero, and he and his friend Smoke arrive to avenge his brother. They are followed by Lin Kuei cyber assassins Sektor and Cyrax who are tasked with retrieving the rogue warriors for cybernetic conversion.
 * Raiden changes the timeline by rescuing Smoke from being converted, at the cost of Kuai Liang being taken away.
 * Kitana, the adopted daughter of Shao Kahn, chooses to join Earthrealm's fight after learning of the existence of her half-Tarkatan clone Mileena, created by Shang Tsung on Shao Kahn's orders, with Kitana's childhood friend Jade, joining her later.
 * In a bid to save Earth, Raiden substitutes Kung Lao in place of Liu Kang during the tournament.
 * Following his victory over Shang Tsung, the ruler of Netherrealm, Quan Chi, and the fire-breathing Kintaro, Kung Lao's neck is snapped by Shao Kahn while his back was turned, killing him, with Liu Kang retaliating and mortally wounding the emperor in a fit of rage.
 * Raiden's amulet continues to deteriorate, and he becomes increasingly concerned.
 * Shao Kahn is healed by Quan Chi, at which point the two realms enter into an alliance. Quan Chi also revives and brainwashes Shao Kahn's long-dead wife, Sindel. In doing so, the ward that prevents Shao Kahn's physical access to Earthrealm is nullified and a full-scale invasion is now possible.
 * Raiden saves Johnny Cage from certain death by slaying the centaurian Motaro.
 * Joined by police officers Stryker and former Black Dragon member Kabal, the Earthrealm fighters attempt to stop Kahn's invasion.
 * Kintaro severely burns Kabal, but he is revived by Kano, which greatly increases Kabal's speed.
 * Kahn dramatically enhances Sindel's power by sacrificing Tsung, taking the souls he has stolen for centuries and infusing them into Sindel.
 * Raiden and Liu Kang travel to appeal to the Elder Gods, requesting they stop Shao Kahn's invasion. The Elder Gods refuse, saying that Kahn's invasion does not violate their laws, and that only attempting to merge Earthrealm into Outworld (without winning a Mortal Kombat tournament) would be a violation.
 * While Raiden and Liu Kang are away, Sindel leads an Outworlder attack on the heroes. During the ensuing battle, Jax, Jade, Sub-Zero, Kabal, Stryker and Smoke are easily defeated and killed by Sindel, and Kitana is brutally beaten. Before Sindel can kill her, Nightwolf intervenes and sacrifices himself in order to kill her.
 * Raiden and Liu Kang return soon after, and Kitana dies of her wounds after sharing her final words with Liu Kang, leaving Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade as the only survivors, but both of them are too injured to continue fighting.
 * Raiden attempts to ally with Quan Chi, offering the souls of the deceased heroes as payment (and his own soul if he dies). Quan Chi declines, and reveals he already has possession of the heroes' souls, promised to him by Shao Kahn in exchange for his allegiance to the emperor, and has turned them into undead "revenants".
 * Quan Chi's words make the dismayed Raiden realize that "He must win" refers to Shao Kahn himself; should Kahn conquer Earthrealm without victory in Mortal Kombat, the Elder Gods will punish him.
 * Liu Kang, angered by the seemingly pointless deaths of their allies, blames Raiden and goes to attack Shao Kahn alone.
 * Raiden tries to stop Liu Kang, but accidentally kills him when Liu Kang's fire mixes with Raiden's lightning, burning Liu Kang alive.
 * Overcome with guilt, Raiden surrenders to Shao Kahn, at which point, the Elder Gods intervene, imbuing Raiden with their power, which he then uses to defeat and kill Shao Kahn for violating the Mortal Kombat code.
 * After Shao Kahn's death, Raiden vows to rebuild Earthrealm with Cage and Blade.
 * Quan Chi, now shown to be an agent of Shinnok, the exiled Elder God of darkness, reveals that the destruction of Shao Kahn and the weakening of Earthrealm by the death of their fighters was part of their plan to conquer all the realms for their own bidding.
