OK I have been working on making the leak easier to read and for a lack of a better word this is the script for the storymode. Do not read if you don't want to know. I haven't changed anything just took out anything that isn't spoken by characters. I have not read it nor do I plan to but if you want to here it is.

Where are the Elder Gods, Raiden?
Their pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer.
They masquerade as dragons, but are mere toothless worms.
My venom spreads. It is the end of all things. Armageddon.
Stop!
It is done.
Your time has passed.
Ages wasted in foolish resistance.
Now is the dawn of my rule!
Yes. Pray to the worms, Raiden.
As your world ends.
He must win!
Lord Raiden! What is wrong?
Strange visions....
Your amulet!
It is nothing, Liu Kang. The tournament begins.
Kombatants.
I am Shang Tsung! In the coming days, each of you will fight. \nSome are here of their own volition.
Others were brought here by chance.
Hey, beautiful. Johnny Cage.
Good for you.
What, "Massive Strike"? "Citizen Cage"? "Ninja Mime"? \nNone of those ring a bell?
Kano...
"Kano"? 'Wasn't in that one....
You participate in the most important Mortal Kombat in history! \nThis tournament, the tenth after nine Outworld victories, will determine Earthrealm's fate.
If you defeat all of your opponents, you will face one final challenge...
... me.
That old geezer's the final challenge? They might as well give \nme the belt right now. They do have belts, right?
What? How did you--
Appearances can be deceiving.
Our first kombatant \nwill be Mr. Cage!
That's right! That's right! Who's it gonna be?
Reptile!
Nice stunt! Who's your agent?
Begin!
All right! It's showtime!
He got Caged!
That's it! Ha haa!
Oh yeah! I'm so pretty!
And I'm takin you down, I'm takin' you down,\nI'm takin you out, I'm takin' you out,
and I'm taking you out... for dinner.
Ugh!
Now for your second challenge, Mr. Cage. Baraka!
Mmm, ok... Nice makeup, but is it reeeallly necessary?
Whoa!
Dar'akala!
They will taste your flesh!
Man, I love those blades!
My producer has got to meet you! \nWe're doing "Tommy Scissorfists," and--
Congratulations, Mr. Cage. Now. Finish him!
Finish him? Yeah, right!
Kill him!
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, wait a sec! I'm not gonna kill anyone!
Very well.
The tournament will resume at dawn!
What, that's it? Really?
Now where'd that hottie go?
You fought well.
Thanks. Nice hat.
You should be more respectful of Lord Raiden. \nHe is the Protector of Earthrealm, the God of Thunder, the--
Look, I don't know what kind of role-playing \nyou guys are into, but count me out.
This tournament is more than a chance for personal glory. \nWe are fighting for the very survival of Earthrealm.
What are you talking about?
Your last opponent was Tarkatan. He was born with those blades.
Yeah. Those things are real.
He represents Outworld. Had you lost, the emperor Shao Kahn \nwould have come one step closer to physically absorbing our world into his.
Outworld, yeah right, right....
The Elder Gods created the Mortal Kombat tournament \nto give Earthrealm a chance to defend itself.
But if we lose this time, Shao Kahn will conquer all.
Dun Dun Dunnn! Look, guys. I'm an actor. I save the world for the cameras. \nIf this emperor is really a threat, call the military.
Me? I've got a date with a blonde. Ciao!
What do you see in him?
He is a hero, Liu Kang, though he may not yet know it.
... triangulating your signal for evac but... there is no island....
I'm standing on it. Just lock on to my wrist comm!
Understood. What is your current status?
They have Jax. And if I don't fight in this crazy tournament, \nthey'll kill him. I'm gonna try to--
Need help? I specialize in rescuing damsels in distress.
You again. Listen. I've got serious problems here. \nI'm in no mood to be hit on by some movie star.
C'mon. A girl like you shouldn't be wandering around this freak show alone.
Look, baby, I can't let you run loose without an escort.
I don't need an "escort."
And I'm sure as hell not your "baby"!
Ha Haaa! Not bad for a...
... girl.
Look, sorry about that.
I don't need your help.
Fine. Have it your way. I'll just leave you to your... problems.
Good idea!
Now that he's softened you up, it's my turn!
Not man enough for a fair fight?
I don't do "fair."
No need to get up, love.
So tell me... how are things at Command?
Bastard!
Gullible *****. Just had to point you in the wrong direction.
Couldn'ta done it without ya!
S.F. is on the way. You won't get far.
Oh, I got a knack for survival. \nYou, on the other hand, are gonna die here.
Step away from the lady!
Fans think my moves are all wire work and special effects. \nTruth is...
... I am the special effects.
Throw that on your... barby... Shrimp....
Thanks.
No problem. Who is that guy anyway?
His name's Kano. He was an informant in our \nBlack Dragon investigation. Big-time arms dealers.
Turns out he was their leader, giving us the runaround. \nLot of our guys got killed because of him.
So that's not a costume? You're actual military?
Special Forces
Get out! So you know about this "threat to the world" stuff, right? \nRaiden called in the cavalry.
Raiden? No idea who you're talking about.
Damn.
He can't be far.
He'll have to wait. I appreciate your help, Cage...
Johnny.
... but right now I've got things to take care of. \nMy C.O. is locked up on this island somewhere. I have to find him.
Jax! Jax! You in here?
Oh my god.
What did they do to you?
Run, girl, run...
Miss Blade! You do not disappoint! \nI have been expecting you.
Let him go! We're not part of your tournament!
On the contrary. You are very much a kontestant.
You will face Sub-Zero, of the Lin Kuei clan of assassins.
Now you will feel death's cold embrace.
Done! We're leaving!
Stand in my way and I'll kick your--
A challenge?
No. You will not be the one to challenge Shang Tsung.
You want some too? Fine by me!
Enough of this!
Shield your eyes.
What?
Shield your eyes.
Jax, come on! We're outta here!
'Bout time....
You aided their escape.
You allowed them to escape.
They will not get far.
Come on, Jax! Move it!
That's an order!
Oh... so you're in charge now?
Special Forces Command, this is Sonya Blade! Where's that evac?
... Blade, they are en route... coming to you....
Affirmative! Almost home, soldier.
By order of Shang Tsung, no one leaves this island.
I don't have time for this.
Outta my way!
Sure don't need any more surprises like them.
How you holding up?
I'm fine.
Liar. After I get you to base, I'm coming back. \nKano's still here somewhere.
Your obsession with him is gonna get you killed.
I trusted him.
Yeah, we all did.
But I was the one he used.
I think our ride's here.
No!
Damn you!
You have a challenger. Kano.
Pretty Boy ain't gonna save ya this time.
You're comin' with me.
Kano is not your prisoner.
At least help Jax. He needs a medic!
Bastard.
There she is!
Sonya! You all right? Hey, looks like you found 'im. \nS'up, Sarge?
He's a ma--.... Hey, what are you doing?
It's ok. He's cool.
What the?
Jax!
Seriously. He's cool.

Spoiler:
That's amazing!
Told ya! Turns out he's a god!
Thank you... Raiden.
Gratitude is unnecessary.
I have foreseen events, like memories of my future. \nThey lead me to believe that you are all connected to Earthrealm's fate.
What have you foreseen?
In my visions, Shao Kahn becomes invincible. \nHe destroys all life in Earthrealm. We will all die.
I believe these flashes are a guide to defeating Shao Kahn. \nBut disrupting the flow of time can have serious consequences.
I'm not worried. I bet you could win this thing no problem.
Unless directly challenged, I cannot participate.
What should we do besides standing around looking pretty?
For now, the tournament must run its course.
All right then.
We're with you, Raiden.
Kombatants! The next match will now begin!
Scorpion! Specter of the Netherrealm! \nResurrected by the sorcerer Quan Chi!
Who among you is worthy of this challenge?
Where is the Lin Kuei Sub-Zero? He killed my \nfamily and clan. I will have his head!
I know it is you, Kung Lao.
The Shaolin monks chose Liu Kang to represent \nyour order in this tournament.
I am Liu Kang's equal!
That remains to be seen.
Watch and see.
I accept the challenge!
Kung Lao?
Never mind the Lin Kuei. Now you face a Shaolin.
You will regret your impulsiveness.
You are not yet a warrior.
Kung Lao!
Listen when your elders speak! You could not win this fight.
I have defeated the challenger, Shang Tsung! \nI demand Sub-Zero!
You will demand nothing!
Nightwolf!
Your aggression is misplaced.
What do you know of my past?
You are not the only one whose people have been victimized.
But I have found new purpose in serving the Spirits. \nI do not cling to the past.
You no longer seek retribution? You dishonor your kind.
I will honor the memory of my fallen.
The spirits have forsaken you, Shaman.
An impressive start!
You waste my time, sorcerer!
Restraint, Scorpion.
You will fight Sub-Zero soon enough.
Scorpion, I understand your desire for revenge. But Nightwolf is right. \nThere are other ways in which you may find peace.
Sub-Zero deserves death.
Defeat Sub-Zero if you must, but do not kill him. \nI fear his death will give rise to a more treacherous foe.
I will have my revenge!
Spare Sub-Zero's life and I will request that the \nElder Gods return the Shirai Ryu to the realm of mortals.
I understand there are benefits to the Grand Master's plan...
... but his plan goes against Lin Kuei principles.
We are Lin Kuei, Cyrax. We will obey the Grand Master's commands.
It means giving up our free will... our souls. It will turn us into--
Scorpion.
Your inferior clan is dead. Soon you will join them.
My clan may walk the Earth once more.
A challenge! Scorpion versus Cyrax and Sektor!
Your obsession with Sub-Zero ends here.
I will have my revenge, but I will not kill Sub-Zero.
Will not? Or cannot?
You!
The Shirai Ryu are dead. You will suffer as they did.
To hell with your clan.
No... to Hell with you!
The Netherrealm.
This is where I was reborn.
This is where you will pay!
I have avenged my family and clan.
This is your retribution?
Scorpion. Kill him.
I... I will not. He has been beaten.
Have you forgotten?
What is this?
No...
Your clan. Your family.
No!
That is not me!
Ouch.
Despite my efforts, my vision has come to pass.
An unfortunate end. He once defended Earthrealm from \nthe Netherrealm armies of Shinnok and Quan Chi.
Scorpion will pay for this!
Sub-Zero's fate is his own doing.
His own doing?!
The Lin Kuei have a history of making ruinous choices.
Such as the Cyber Initiative.
I am among those speaking out against the Grand Master's plan. \nSurgically transform the Lin Kuei into glorified robots? It kills our intuition. Our instincts.
Did you speak out against the Lin Kuei's participation in this tournament?
We were invited by Shang Tsung.
He pays you to kill Earthrealm warriors.
Betraying your own realm? I expect better. \nEven from an assassin.
My loyalty is to the Grand Master.
Victory for Shang Tsung means the end of Earthrealm. \nAnd the Lin Kuei.
What are you doing? I'm not here to fight you. \nI'm assigned to kill Johnny Cage.
Shang Tsung no longer has need of you.
What do you mean?
He is terminating your agreement. And you!
I need to have a talk with your master.
This fight is not over.
You mean to finish me?
You couldn't even stop the actor!
Now this fight is over.
Shang Tsung has turned on me. I need to find out why.
Sektor, we need to talk. Our host tried to have me killed.
You were speaking with the thunder god. \nYour indescretion has jeopardized my plan.
Cyrax is Lin Kuei. He will complete his task.
We shall see.
The next match will be Cyrax...
... versus Johnny Cage.
What, me? All right then.
Not everyone gets to rumble with a celebrity. \nReady for your beatdown, Sunshine?
Here it comes!
That should shut you up.
Finish him!
I won't kill him!
You were commanded to kill Johnny Cage.
You disobeyed.
I eliminated him from the tournament. He didn't need to die.
You have broken your oath.
I used my judgment!
The Cyber Initiative will eliminate insubordination.
We are not machines, Sektor.
,I chose to serve the Lin Kuei. But I will not surrender my free will!
Tell the Grand Master I am finished.
No one leaves the Lin Kuei....
Kombatants! I present this \nlatest creation of Shao Kahn.
He is many warriors, their souls fused into one being.
Behold... Ermac!
Be wary, Liu Kang. He is unlike anything you have fought before.
Liu Kang! You are the sole Earthrealm warrior to progress \nto this final stage of the tournament!
I am ready.
We are many. You are one. We will destroy you.
Earthrealm will not fall into your master's hands.
He is a greater threat than anticipated. I will insure he \ndoes not reach the final challenge.
Remember Bo' Rai Cho's teachings. For my vision to \nbe realized, you must not let emotion overpower you.
Your visions. What causes them?
My future self sent them to me. Perhaps to ensure some outcome.
Or to prevent one.
He must win!
He must win. Those are my last words before I die.
I believe it is you who must win.
This amulet was forged by the Elder Gods. It cracked \nhere in the present after my first vision.
If we choose wisely, the future will be secured and the cracks healed.
I trust you will make the right decisions.
We must trust in the Elder Gods, Liu Kang.
You're good! Show me more.
Do not underestimate me, Shaolin.
I am impressed.
Do it.
Do what?
Kill me.
Why would I do that?
I came to kill you. I have failed my father. My emperor.
Shao Kahn is your father?!
I have disgraced him. You must kill me.
I will not. This encounter never took place. \nYou have disgraced no one.
I hope we meet again. Under different circumstances.
Kombatants! Only one Earthrealm warrior remains. \nThe Shaolin Liu Kang.
Is he ready to bear such a heavy burden? \nEarthrealm's fate is in his hands.
Your opponent will be... Scorpion!
I do not fear you, demon.
Fighting with Scorpion... the sorcerer Quan Chi!
You have already lost.
As I said, I do not fear you. I pity you.
You have done well. But the tournament is not yet over.
Goro.
What's a Goro?
Liu Kang...
... it has been years since an Earthrealm warrior has progressed this far. \nBut the reigning champion is far beyond your ability.
To the Lair with you!
I did not expect to fight in this tournament.
But eventually even the Shaolin produce a warrior worthy of a Shokan.
I know who you are! I am ready for you!
,I will give you a warrior's death.
It seems the Shaolin trained a warrior greater than a Shokan.
Shang Tsung! Only one fight remains! \nFace me... in Mortal Kombat!
So be it.
Say it.
I concede.
Yeah!
Well done, my friend.
He has saved Earthrealm.
,That was awesome, Liu Kang!
Congratulations.
Way to go, kid!
MVP, baby!
You failed me!
Five hundred years I have waited! \nNow I must wait five hundred more!
My lord! All is not lost!
Curse the Elder Gods and their tournament! \nI should have taken Earthrealm by force!
But I am bound by their rules.
Rules that cannot be broken.
My lord--
 
Continued

Spoiler:
Kill him.
But what if the rules were changed?
Kitana!
Continue....
I do not understand why my amulet is further damaged. \nHe must win.... If not Liu Kang, then who?
Ya got me....
Not sure anybody coulda done what he did. \nMade Shang Tsung look like a chump.
Here to congratulate us on our victory, sorcerer?
What? Shang Tsung?!
You have been revitalized, I see. \nI didn't realize your master was in the habit of rewarding failure.
The emperor has an offer, Raiden. A new tournament.
I see no reason to participate in any plan of yours.
The emperor proposes a single tournament, to replace the \ncurrent system of ten. It will be held in Outworld.
If Earthrealm does not win, Outworld will absorb it. But if Earthrealm wins, \nShao Kahn will abandon his claim to it forever.
Give your emperor my regards.
Kill them all!
He gained a momentary advantage during our kombat and escaped. \nI now realize what we must do.
Anybody get the number o' that--
Wait. Where's Sonya?
Shang Tsung has taken her.
We gotta find her!
We must follow them!
Shang Tsung has made it clear that Earthrealm will be under \nconstant threat unless I agree to a new tournament.
Another vision?
Yes. I saw Liu Kang win the proposed tournament. \nI believe we must attend.
But my earlier vision, of your victory over Shang Tsung, was not the solution I sought. \nTherefore this premonition must show an event I need to change.
Perhaps "he must win" refers to another.
Hear me, Elder Gods! I accept the terms proposed by Shao Kahn!
We go to Outworld.
I assume that's the Big Man himself.
The wrestler guy? With the cow skull on his head?
And why aren't the Kung Fu Twins here helping us?
I sent Liu Kang and Kung Lao to free their Shaolin masters. \nI expected Sonya Blade to be here with Shang Tsung.
She better not have a scratch on her.
Wait! This is a tournament!
Ah! The Earthrealm delegation has arrived.
And we have a volunteer for First Kombat!
What?
The tournament will begin!
Jackson Briggs! You will face... Baraka!
Damn you ugly.
My blades will find your heart!
You shouldn't be runnin' with those.
Where's Sonya?
Tell me, Major Briggs... Do you and she do \nanything other than rescue one another?
Your next opponent will be-- What is it?
Excellent.
It seems I have a pressing matter to attend to. \nWith the emperor's permission, we will reconvene later.
What was that all about? I think we should follow 'im.
You ok?
Sonya Blade... she is to be executed. My powers are compromised here \nin Outworld, but I will be able to transport us near enough to her.
Maybe you could try for even nearer next time?
Where are we?
I will inform you the instant I know.
Wish this damn tracking device worked in here.
This is just like my movie "Time Smashers." \nWe were goin' around--
Give it a rest, will ya? Makin' my ears hurt.
So what's the deal with you and Sonya, anyway? \nShe's smokin' hot!
It's not like that. I'm her C.O.
Honey like that, under my command? Oh I'd be so--
You'll wanna stop talking now.
But if it's not like that, then you won't mind if I...
That's it.
Time somebody shut you the hell up!
How you like that, Mr. A-List?
Enough! Jackson Briggs. You will restrain yourself.
Yeah well, I--
Someone approaches.
Good. Maybe somebody else needs their ass whooped.
You lookin' for somethin'?
The Armory is restricted. You will leave now.
Gonna have to ask nicer than that.
Wrong place, wrong time, lady.
Feel better?
Uh, listen, Cage, I--
Don't worry about it.
Guess we know where we are now, thanks to her.
Yes. And where we must go.
Let's do it.
Uh... um...
C'mon, Cage.
What is it with you Shokan and underground cesspools?
If you had not dishonored yourself by attempting escape, \nwe would not be here in this sewer.
Sonya!
Guards! Stop them!
So much for the surprise attack....
She is the emperor's property, human.
She's nobody's property.
I guess extra arms don't make a difference.
You sure have a way with women.
You know me. I'm a class act.
Thanks. What took you so long?
He was busy hitting me in the face.
That's weird... I've got two sets of readings... \nheavy tech signals, both of 'em.
Technology.... Then they cannot be of Outworld. \nWe need to confront the source of each signal.
We might discover the one whose victory I must insure.
Wait. What about us? What are we? Chopped liver?
What?
Perhaps you are right, Johnny Cage. You will stay close to me.
Great, I--
Close as a shadow, and twice as silent.
Sonya, you're with me. Keepin' my eye on you.
Raiden, looks like you'll wanna teleport yourself about \nthirty klicks that way.
We should stay together, Tundra.
Assuming your brother's identity will \ncertainly draw attention.
Not all of it welcome.
You are right, Smoke. But assuming Bi-Han's identity \nis the best way to honor him.
Let us proceed then, Sub-Zero.
We should separate. Our fellow Lin Kuei will not be far \nbehind once our absence is discovered.
If only they had been more forthcoming with the \ndetails of your brother's demise.
We will find Shang Tsung. He will tell us all he knows.
If he killed Bi-Han, he will die.
Be stealthful as the night...
... and deadly as the dawn.
The emperor was wise to send me here. \nThe Lin Kuei do walk uninvited in his realm.
Wise though your emperor might be, he was foolish to \nsend his housemaid to interfere with Lin Kuei business.
I am Kitana, Princess of Outworld!
And I deal harshly with sharp-tongued intruders!
Where there is Smoke, there is fire.
Sleep well, princess.
With a whole army totin' these, no one in Outworld or \nEarthrealm could stand up to you.
Well done. You may tell your fellow Black Dragon that I am \nvery interested in your merchandise.
Shang Tsung!
I'll take care of him. No charge.
One dead Lin Kuei...
... in a tick.
Stay down.
I would have words with your associate.
Tell me what you know of Sub-Zero's death.
What?
Despite his failure at my tournament, I'll wager he was \nmore powerful than you, Lin Kuei.
Assuming his form will not give you his skill, shapeshifter.
Let us see if smoke can freeze.
Now answer me!
What do you know of Sub-Zero?
What?
 
Continued

Spoiler:
Smoke!
You have disobeyed the directive to remain at the Lin Kuei temple.
Sektor?!
You will return with us to begin your transformation.
You actually did it... You're a cyborg!
We are the Lin Kuei. More stealthful than the night...
... more deadly than the dawn!
I will never submit!
There is great energy nearby.
Um... Rai-dude...
They must not take him.
Thank you, Lord Raiden. I am called Smoke.
Why are you here in Outworld?
To participate in a tournament to save Earthrealm. \nJoin us, Smoke.
Forgive me, but if Sektor was searching for me, \nhe is hunting Sub-Zero as well.
Sub-Zero? Call me crazy with a K... but didn't we see him die?
The Grand Master intends to turn every Lin Kuei into a cyborg. \nMy friend is in danger.
The tournament. I have a feeling your friend will be there.
Then let us go.
Sub-Zero's soul depends on it.
A pity you could not have cooperated.
You are ordered to return to the Lin Kuei temple for assimilation.
Cyrax!
I am Lin Kuei Unit L-K-4-D-4. You will come with me.
I am sorry for what they did to you...
... but I will not comply.
I will face the Lin Kuei when my task is done, not before.
The readings were getting stronger and now they're gone. I--
Sub Zero?! But... you're dead!
I am not the Sub-Zero you speak of. He was my brother.
Your... brother?
I'm only here to learn Sub-Zero's fate.
He was killed by someone named Scorpion.
Where would I find him?
Try the Coliseum. That's where--
You have disturbed our regeneration process.
Ermac.
Gotcha!
Jax!
Stay with me, Jax!
We will break you as well.
Not if I break you first.
I remain whole, for now.
Sonya Blade to Command. Sonya Blade to Command. Do you read?
Sonya Blade to Command. Do you read?
You have stopped the bleeding.
Yeah, but he needs a medic as soon as possible.
I must go to the Coliseum.
But I need your help to get him to--
There is a portal to the south. You can use it to \ntransport yourselves back to Earthrealm.
Mother f...
That portal better be close....
I have failed. I deserve death.
I have failed my father. You must kill me.
Kill him!
Kitana! You will join me.
Shao Kahn! I challenge Scorpion, the murderer of my brother! \nYou will bring him before me!
No one makes demands of the emperor! Reptile!
I would kill you, but that is not my purpose here.
Your followers hold you in high esteem, warlord. \nThey fight and die for your amusement.
My brother participated in this folly. \nI do so only to face his killer!
And you shall.
What is this? You are not Sub-Zero!
I am his family and clan. I fight for his honor.
He had no honor! And you will die as he did!
For my brother!
No! You--
Who now interrupts the emperor's tournament?
Sub-Zero?! No!
You cannot save him! Stay here or they will take you as well.
We request that we may return him to our temple for judgment.
And what do I gain from granting this bold request?
The Lin Kuei's loyalty and service.
Very well. He is yours.
The flow of time has been changed. I spared Smoke this fate, \nonly to watch this new Sub-Zero fall.
No! I will not be turned!
Kitana!
How is it that Earthrealm ninjas brazenly appear before me when my daughter, \nPrincess of Outworld, was sent to intercept them?
Father, I--
Begone!
Continue.
Kitana's faith is a slender reed, bent before the storm. \nIf it can be uprooted altogether...
Sure. Let's go ruin someone else's life.
Is this how you show \nyour loyalty, Jade?
Kitana, I--
You follow me when I clearly wish to be alone, \nthen you upbraid me?
I will not be scolded like some child!
You need to be careful. \nI have never seen your father this angry with you.
You are a princess. He expects more from you than this.
I know what he expects!
We will talk later. When you are in more of a mind to listen.
Princess Kitana. I request an audience.
Earthrealmers! You dare approach me?
Hey listen, honey, we don't wanna fight.
But we will if we must!
You will learn respect!
Shao Kahn wants death to follow kombat.
I will give it to him.
Perhaps Liu Kang was wrong about you.
Or perhaps he sensed, as I do, that there is conflict within you.
Thanks.
Ow. You couldn't've seen that in one o' your hot flashes?
Something whispers to you that circumstances should be different. \nThat you should be different. You are much more like Sindel than Shao Ka--
But... she is dead....
My mother is dead, yes. Why do you--
You need answers, Kitana. I can help you find them, \nif you will trust in me.
Go to Shang Tsung's Flesh Pits. Much will be revealed there.
The Flesh Pits? But I am forbidden to--
Yes. You are. And why is that?
I... don't know. Tell me--
You must discover your true path. Alone.
Show yourself, Jade. I know you're following me. Again.
Following you still. I know where you're going. \nI am ordered to prevent you from going there.
And why is that?
I do not question the emperor's commands.
Kitana, please. Turn back.
I cannot. This path might lead me to the truth. \nI'm sorry, Jade...
... but I will not allow you to stop me.
I tried to warn you....
This is something I have to do.
What in the name of...
She looks like... me!
Sister!
 
Continued

Spoiler:
So pretty, so fair... So sad and alone....
Come. Let us be a family!
You are not my family. You are a monstrosity!
Farewell, sister!
That is no way to treat your sibling.
Despicable swine! Do you think my father will stand for this... these... \nabominations you have created here?!
I am merely perfecting you, princess. As difficult as that might be.
Silence!
I will drag you before Shao Kahn by your pointed beard!
Get up.
You will stand before my father and confess your deeds.
I would not disturb you, father, if this matter were not of utmost importance. \nI felt you should know what Shang Tsung has been doing as of late.
This conjurer has created horrid replicas of me--crossbred \nwith Tarkatan blood. One was alive--and attacked me!
Well done, sorcerer.
You know... You... approve? How could you? My own father!
I am your emperor!
Your father was a weakling Edenian king. I annihilated him while \nmerging his realm with Outworld and took his queen as my wife.
If only I had not allowed Sindel to convince me of your worth....
But now I have a true daughter!
Raiden was right. You have lied to me my entire life.
Escort her to the Tower. I will make an example of her.
Return to the Flesh Pits. Bring me my daughter. Mileena.
I failed you, Kitana.
Now I will make amends.
That is all of them.
That is no toy! It belongs to Shang Tsung!
We are finished. Return to your post.
Stand aside. I will see Kitana.
No one enters the Tower.
You are an excellent guard dog, Baraka. \nBut you must learn to heel.
I do not take orders from you.
Good boy.
Edenians have no loyalty.
Blind loyalty is not a good thing, as I have learned. \nYou must keep your eyes open--to anticipate the finishing blow.
What are you talking about?
You make it too easy.
If you had not dishonored yourself by--
Jade!
My orders are clear. No one is allowed in the Tower.
As you can see, I am here.
Here to help the princess escape!
You would deny her execution? \nThe only means of regaining her honor?
We have very different concepts of honor, Shokan.
Not much of a jailor, are you?
Now then, Your Highness... \nLet us see how quickly we can remove these bonds.
Jade, I--
I am too.
Stop her!
Do not let her get away!
Go. Find Raiden. Ask for his help.
That should distance me from any pursuers.
Others pursue. I find.
By the gods... You are Mileena!
You must return with me! There is to be a celebration for my sister!
She is going away....
I am more of a sister to Kitana than you.
I must find Raiden.
He is here.
Kitana turns away from Shao Kahn so you attack\n her rather than join her?
This is not--
Smoke! Stop! That is not Kitana!
You will come no closer!
I did not wish to do that.
Lord Raiden.
"Lord"? I was with Smoke. I thought she was a bad guy. Girl. \nGuess he turned another one... What's Raiden got that I haven't got?
God-like power?
A personality that is not at all like sanding paper?
Jerks.
... if we do not save her, she will be executed. \nKitana does not have much time!
Kitana... executed? Where is she?
Held captive in the Tower of Shao Kahn's fortress.
I am not pleased with this outcome either, Liu Kang. \nBut there is no time. We must return to the tournament.
But you are responsible for her capture! \nYou persuaded her to turn against Shao Kahn!
Lord Raiden. We can free her as others fight in our stead, \nand join you thereafter.
Very well.
We will meet you at the Coliseum.
I hope your girlfriend is worth \nLord Raiden's anger, Liu Kang.
Notice that I am ignoring you.
Hmm... They must have relocated Kitana.
We have indeed.
We knew someone would come for her.
May you join her in death!
Be thankful I choose not to spill your tainted blood.
Who are you? There is something familiar...
Do you need help? Four arms against two is hardly a fair fight.
Liu Kang?!
You have had your match against Liu Kang.
Now you will face me!
Now, if you have any honor left...
... you will tell us where Kitana is!
She has been taken to the Coliseum, where she \nhas no doubt been executed.
You lie!
She may yet live. Let us go.
Ermac wins!
There's Kitana.
I must free her!
Not now! Smoke and Johnny Cage have been defeated, and \nI no longer sense Jackson Briggs' or Sonya Blade's presence in Outworld.
Despite my doubts as to whether you are \nEarthrealm's savior, you must fight!
But I am not He Who Must Win.
Raiden! Put forth a worthy champion... if you can.
Perhaps you are meant to be the victor.
You will face Shang Tsung.
And Quan Chi.
No Earthrealm boy can stop this Deadly Alliance.
On that we agree.
It is done!
No, Kung Lao. Not nearly so.
I will eat your heart!
You see, Raiden?
Earthrealm is free---
Kung Lao!
Nooo!
I will strip the flesh from your bones!
Witless boy. Do you know who I am?
The murderer of my friend!
I am Shao Kahn! Konqueror of Worlds! You will taste no victory.
You will taste your own blood!
On your feet.
For Kung Lao, the Shaolin and Earthrealm!
I cannot believe... Earthrealm has won.
The Elder Gods have spoken. \nEarthrealm is free of Shao Kahn forever.
But the price of victory was almost too steep to pay.
Kung Lao's death is my fault. I encouraged him. \nOur triumph was not meant to be achieved in this way.
I see now. "He must win" refers to you. But to prevent Armageddon, \nyou needed to defeat Shao Kahn, not Shang Tsung.
It cannot be! Shao Kahn is dead! Yet the future remains unchanged!
Shao Kahn is finished.
Mileena is his heir. She should rule.
Mileena? She exists only because of my sorcery.
And you breathe because I restrain mine.
Emperor!
You live!
I am not so easily killed. Quan Chi accelerated my recovery.
Emperor, I--
Not. One. Word.
,Because of you, Outworld can no longer merge with Earthrealm!
There may yet be an alternative, Emperor.
Invasion.
Invasion?!
Do you mock me? Sindel's Ward prevents me \nfrom setting foot in Earthrealm.
Have you considered why your wife and empress chose \nto betray you in this particular fashion?
Of course. But even after millenia, her motives are a mystery.
She realized that the safeguards afforded by the Elder Gods \nthrough Mortal Kombat are but fiction.
She sacrificed herself to give protection the Elder Gods could not. \nSo Earthrealm could not suffer as had Edenia.
Indeed.
I have mastered the spells necessary for her resurrection. \nHer ward will be nullified.
And with it the barrier that prevents your entry into Earthrealm.
I will return her to you, of course. \nYou will find her much more... cooperative.
This a very magnanimous offer.
I wish only to serve, Emperor.
I am weary of sorcerers, Quan Chi. Prove your worth. \nBring her to me.
Sindel.
Quan Chi?
Shao Kahn looks forward to your return.
The emperor! Yesss.
What of Kitana?
Kitana now allies herself with Earthrealm.
Then she is no longer my daughter.
Take me to Shao Kahn.
41=8618,8661,Yes, Empress.
The invasion of Earthrealm can now begin.
Fifteen...Sixteen...Seventeen... Eighteen.
Kabal. Call it in.
Base. Eagle Two. We count eighteen. \nOne-eight bogies. Southbound on Olympic.
Roger that.
Eagle Two out.
This is not happening.
Not what I was thinking when I swore to protect and serve.
What is that?
I'm thinking shoot first, ask questions later.
Fine with me.
Pistols!
Enough of this!
It's you and me, Freakshow.
Spitting? Sticking out your tongue?
Bet your mama's real proud.
C'mon. We're going street level. We've been compromised.
It ain't safe down there.
Better there than here.
Stryker! Check her out!
Whaddaya think? Friend or foe?
Foe.
Dressed like that?
Definitely foe.
Cover me.
Hey, what're you doing out here?
Looking for a new playmate!
You're coming with me.
Who... who are you?
Argh!
You all right?
Johnny Cage fighting a giant monster?! What is this, "Time Smashers"?!
That guy just shot lightning. From his hands. How'd he do that?
No idea.
Spread out. Give 'im multiple targets.
Humans.
Less ugly when they burn.
Never knew I had it in me....
Kabal!
Base! Eagle Two!
Go Eagle Two.
Need Medevac. Current position. Kabal is down. Third-degree burns
Medevac unit routing to you. ETA ten minutes.
What the?!
Say again?
 
Continued

Spoiler:
Eagle Two, report! Eagle Two!
The emperor will have your soul.
Yeah? Come and get it!
I think I'll be keeping my soul.
I have been searching for you, Kurtis Stryker.
Well you found me! Who are you?
I am Nightwolf. Lord Raiden is gathering Earth's defenders. You are among them.
What the hell are you talking about?!
Raiden leads Earth's defense against these Outworld invaders. \nHe is our best hope for survival.
Yeah, well. "Earthrealm Defender" is about ten \nsteps above my pay grade.
I see you doubt yourself, even after your victories. Come.
What?
Where is he? Medevac hasn't been here.
Perhaps he has gone to find help.
Naw. He was way too banged up. Someone took him.
Easy there, mate. You've had a rough one.
Kano?
In the flesh.
I was... on fire....
Burned to a crisp, you were. Good thing I found ya.
I'm hideous....
Shang Tsung's magic healed the rest of ya. But your lungs? Yeesh.
Take it off.
Can't. It's permanent.
What?
No mask, no breathing.
I'm a freak.
Go on. Give 'em a whirl.
I don't use those anymore.
Yeah, you're all proper police now. \nThe Black Dragon ain't the same without ya, mate.
You should come back. We're in the money on this war.
You sold those monsters their firepower.
Guilty as charged.
This is your fault!
What're you on about, eh? You're here, ain't ya?
I should be dead!
Now you're gonna be!
Now how do I get outta here?
Not so keen on being dead now, are ya?
How do I get outta here?
Good luck. No one gets outta Outworld without Shao Kahn's say-so.
Outworld? Shao Kahn?
Shao Kahn's the big boss round here... and soon, Earth's new master.
Where is he?
Don't bother. You can't get near him.
No. But I'm guessing you can
What is this?
Raiden has killed Motaro.
That's him? On the throne?
You're a right genius, you are.
It's no great matter. I will go to Earthrealm. To finish Motaro's work.
Yes. Shang Tsung.
Yes, Emperor?
The empress requires something of you.
See there? I'm thinking he's a bit much for--
I can take him.
No one attacks the emperor!
And I thought I was a freak.
Quan Chi! Seal the portal!
Time to go.
Huh...?
This speed's incredible! Guess it's a side-effect \nof the Outworld magic.
You are not authorized for portal use.
Yeah? Says who?
Sub-Zero. Unit L-K-five-two-O.
You say that like it means something.
As you will soon discover.
Ha! Not as cool as you thought.
Why do you turn on your brother, Lin Kuei?
That is not my brother. He's machine. I'm human.
You do not appear human.
Don't let the mask fool ya.
Starting to feel like the old days. Only faster.
Sub-Zero!
You have great power indeed, Kabal.
Wait. You're the lightning guy. You helped Stryker.
Stryker! Is he--
He is safe. He has joined us in the fight against Shao Kahn.
We would welcome your aid also.
Sub-Zero!
That which made him Sub-Zero no longer exists.
He is my friend. What they did to him. It is... hideous.
You're right. We gotta help him if we can.
That's it. Here goes nothing....
You are certain this will work?
Hell no! I've never done this before. It's not like there's a manual.
Sub-Zero? Can he hear me?
He should.
Sub-Zero?
Yes, Smoke.
How do you feel?
What is it?
I remember...
The things I have done for Shao Kahn....
He cannot be allowed to merge the realms.
Haokah, how can Sub-Zero best help us?
I do not know.
My attempts to alter future events have had negative consequences. \nSub-Zero should never have undergone this transformation.
Enlisting him may only further divert the flow of time.
We need intel, right? Let's send him back to Outworld undercover.
They will be unaware of my defection. I could deceive them.
Earthrealm is finished. It will not be missed.
Very well.
You will return.
You report late. Where is the intruder?
I killed him in Earthrealm.
He should have been saved for interrogation.
He was formidable. I had no choice.
Follow me. We must lead a new mission.
What mission brings us here?
I have scanned your neural net, Five-Two-Oh. \nYour neuromodulators have been recalibrated.
Impossible.
The experience has been deleted from your system.
Remove your access panel.
Your programming has been corrupted.
My soul was corrupted.
Now it is cleansed.
Artificial enhancements are no substitute for the human soul.
Thank you, Sektor.
Oy! Run about, will ya!
Finally!
C'mon, we gotta get 'em to the graveyard at Saint Dominic's. \nOn your feet! All of you!
For what purpose?
Don't care, really. So long as I get paid.
He said on your feet!
C'mon. Up.
Get up.
Hey! What're y--
I will help you.
Go! All of you! Now!
Let's go! C'mon!
Your treachery will be punished!
All those teeth and claws, yet still overmatched.
Behind me!
Come no further, fiend of Outworld!
You are not so fearsome.
Thanks. I thought we were done.
I must go. I need to investigate the graveyard.
We'd go with, but we have to return to our unit.
That is for the best.
Good luck, man.
He ain't gonna need luck.
This is Sub-Zero.
I have encountered Quan Chi. He seems to be casting a spell.
Raiden, what is it? What did you see?
One of Shao Kahn's Soulnados, on a scale I thought unimaginable. \nAll of Earthrealm's souls imprisoned... absorbed by Shao Kahn, multiplying his power!
That is what Sub-Zero has found?
No matter my efforts, the future remains in peril. \nHow could have I failed Earthrealm?
Do not lose faith in the spirits, Raiden. \nThey will guide you. Protect you.
Sub-Zero. We will disrupt the Soulnado.
I will be there momentarily.
Hurry. The spell appears to be nearly complete.
Who is that?
The one Kano warned about. He is mine.
You. You are not worthy of the name Sub-Zero.
Who are you to judge?
I wore those colors before you.
Bi-Han?!
Yes, Kuai Liang. It is I. Quan Chi restored me.
Restored? You and I both. We are flawed copies of our former selves.
I have no flaws. Quan Chi has perfected me.
For what end? To serve the Netherrealm and Outworld?
It suits my purpose
But brother, we are--
We share blood. We are not brothers.
Then I will not regret your defeat.
You are right. We are not brothers.
Go! Your soul is not safe!
Earthrealm's fate is sealed, \nNightwolf!
Not yet! We fight until the end!
Your time is over.
Pilamaya.
But how do we know? Raiden could be having \nvisions of possible futures, not the future.
Sonya's right. Was I supposed to have my arms replaced with these? \nOr was it caused by interfering with the timeline?
My head hurts just thinking about it.
This isn't helpful. We cannot second-guess our decisions.
Raiden, what are your thoughts?
Raiden?
Yes, that is best.
What is our next objective?
Nightwolf!
It is done. Earthrealm's souls are safe.
No! How is it not enough?!
I must speak with the Elder Gods. \nShao Kahn's violation must be punished.
But the battle is joined here, in Earthrealm!
We cannot win without the Elder Gods.
But Master--
Liu Kang... Close as a shadow...
Nightwolf, you will lead until we return.
As you wish, Haokah.
Well, now what? Standing around here won't do us any good.
Wait!
The Lin Kuei! They surround us!

So much for standing around....
Attack!
My speed and skill are beyond you.
Mere speed and skill will not win this war, Cyrax.
You are weak, Smoke.
Now do you understand? \nThe power of the Grand Master's vision?
You are no match for the power of the Spirits.
Perhaps even you can be saved.
What is it?
Mother....
Come forward, if you dare. I will finish what the Lin Kuei could not.
Let's do this.
Attack!
Mother, please!
I am no longer your mother.
Mother, this is not your way. Shao Kahn has corrupted you!
Shao Kahn has resurrected me! You have betrayed him. \nEmbraced a pathetic cause.
Remember Edenia, mother. Remember your rule before \nShao Kahn's invasion!
Quiet, child. It is time for you to join your friends.
Monster!
Still alive? No matter.
Soon you will reunite with your ancestors.
Now, Sindel. Face the Spirits' judgment.
Raiden... Raiden, where are you?
Elder Gods, I beseech you. Earthrealm is in danger.
We are aware of your plight, Raiden.
Then you must intervene on Earthrealm's behalf.
We cannot.
But Shao Kahn... Liu Kang has bested him twice, yet he still--
Shao Kahn has not violated the rules of Mortal Kombat.
What?! He invades Earthrealm as we speak!
Invasion is not itself a transgression. \nIt is the merger of realms that is proscribed.
A distinction without a difference! \nInnocents are dying at the hands of Outworld!
It is regrettable. But the Mortal Kombat tournaments are not intended to \nprevent certain outcomes. They are intended only to maintain balance among the realms.
Please, you must--
We have spoken.
The last doors are closing. We are nearly trapped.
Victory is mine, Shaman.
Not if I... take it... from... you.
By the Elder Gods!
Liu Kang...
Kitana!
Liu Kang...You were right. \nI wish we had met... under... different circumstances.
Kitana....
They are dead.
Liu Kang, I--
We abandoned them and they're dead.
My heart, too, is heavy with their sacrifice.
Their deaths achieved nothing!
What is next, Raiden? Tell me the future! \nHow do we honor their "sacrifice"?
I climbed to heaven, now I must plunge into the depths. I will go to Quan Chi. \nAlly our realm with his against the forces of Outworld.
What?! Grovel before Quan Chi?!
What will he demand? What price will be paid?
Would any price be too high to save Earthrealm?
I had prayed it not true. But you have gone mad, Raiden. \nYour visions. They are nothing. Delusions of an addled mind.
Liu Kang, please.
Enough. I must help the wounded. Leave on your hopeless quest.
May the Elder Gods protect you.
Quan Chi! Quan Chi!
It disappoints me to see you here.
Save your pity.
 
Continued

Spoiler:
I will have an audience with Quan Chi.
You may address me. I will inform him.
Is this why you chose not to save your family and clan? \nTo maintain your place at his feet?
Do not talk of my family, Raiden!
Fetch your master, Scorpion. I must speak with him!
You speak only with me.
Now, Scorpion. Fetch your master.
You seek an audience.
I seek cooperation. Between Earthrealm and the Netherrealm.
Losing the battle, are you?
We will prevail. But with the Netherrealm fighting at our side--
You lie poorly, Raiden. Earthrealm's defenses are overwhelmed. \nYou have mere hours.
Name your terms.
What do you offer?
I offer... I offer the souls of Earthrealm warriors who die in this conflict.
They would agree.
You are cavalier with other men's souls.
Not just others! I offer my own soul as well. \nIf I die, you will have it.
How noble, Raiden.
Yet utterly pointless.
No!
You see, their souls are already mine. \nShao Kahn's payment for Netherrealm's allegiance.
No! This was not meant to be!
Earthrealm has lost, Raiden. Now so shall you.
Finish him.
As you command, my master.
May the Elder Gods watch over you.
The Elder Gods cannot help them. Their souls are mine.
Kitana. Nightwolf. Kung Lao.
You sealed our fate in this place, Thunder God.
You have condemned us all.
Curse you, Quan Chi.
Shao Kahn's victory is nearly complete. Soon he will arrive in Earthrealm.
No. The Elder Gods cannot allow it.
3=270,450,The Elder Gods are toothless. Your world is near destruction. \nYet they do not act.
They must! Only through Mortal Kombat may Shao Kahn merge the realms. \nLest he face the judgment of the Elder Gods....
Lest he face the judgment of the Elder Gods! He must win!
It is you who face judgment, Raiden.
Thank you, Quan Chi. I now know what must be done.
Back from the Netherrealm empty-handed, I see.
Liu Kang!
Liu Kang, I now realize what we must do.
We must allow Shao Kahn to merge the realms!
That is insane!
The Elder Gods forbid it without victory in Mortal Kombat.
When he does, the Elder Gods' fury will fall upon him.
Defeating Shao Kahn before the merge is but temporary. \nHe will return, bringing Armageddon. I have foreseen it!
Enough, Raiden!
He is here.
No! Do as I say!
Have faith in the Elder Gods. Have faith in me.
Liu Kang! I cannot let you fight Shao Kahn!
Then you are my enemy!
Liu Kang, do not interfere!
Liu Kang, stop!
Liu Kang! Raiden! No!
Enough of your madness! If you must die, so be it!
By the gods, no!
No. This was not meant to happen.
What did you do?!
Liu Kang, Forgive me....
You...have killed us... all....
C'mon! It's up to us!
Ah, Raiden. You have come to your senses.
Earthrealm's citizens suffer. Further resistance serves no purpose.
All these ages you have fought me. \nYou denied me my rightful claim.
Not this time.
The Elder Gods fear me now!
Their pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer!
They masquerade as dragons...
... but are mere toothless worms.
I know you can feel it. It is the end of all things.
Elder Gods, where are you? Why do you forsake me?
Your time has passed.
Ages wasted in foolish resistance.
I have won.
Yes... you have won.
Now, Raiden. Your world ends.
You violate our will, Shao Kahn. You merge realms \nwithout victory in Mortal Kombat.
Our penalty is clear.
An anemic effort from ineffectual deities.
Today I become the Elder God!
It is over.
ut only at gravest of costs.
So many are gone. Their light has sunk into the earth. \nI am responsible for their loss.
You did what you had to. To protect Earthrealm. \nLosses in war...are... are inevitable.
Come. Let us tend the fallen. Then we must help our realm rebuild. \nOur work has only just begun.
Your plan worked to perfection, Lord Shinnok.
Shao Kahn was blinded by rage. How easily he was convinced \nthat the Elder Gods would ignore his merging the realms.
Yet the thunder god still lives.
No matter. Neither Earthrealm nor Outworld can now \nwithstand the Netherrealm's onslaught.
It is time. Soon I will be free. Earthrealm and Outworld will be ours.


OK that's it. Hope it is good but I will wait and see til the game is in my hands. :razz:
 
This is the one thread in the Spoilers sub-forum I will not be going to as of now because I know if I have the slightest view, someone is gonna make a comment about the story without spoiler tags (which they are entitled to, because thats the point of this thread).

I am here to just say to PLEASE KEEP WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS THREAD ONLY IN THIS THREAD. No one needs to get screwed over by having some jerk-off running to another thread saying "OH I READ THIS HERE, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS". Anything that you find out stays here PLEASE, for the sake of other MKers.

Otherwise I am gonna neg rep you, report your post and hopefully get you banned from the site, no matter who you are, friend or foe. In the end, we are playing this game for ourselves and for our own benefits and some of us do not want that to be ruined at any cost. And I am allowed to do that if anything from this thread gets out to other threads without a spoiler tag, according to the Admin himself, Patrick McCarron. For reference, see the Spoiler Sub-Forum Thread: http://www.trmk.org/forums/showthread.php/15697-Spoilers-Now-Have-a-Home!/page10000

This is your warning from me and probably a lot of other forum members.

That was so well written! I don't feel like it ruined anything for me, it will be completely different seeing it in game. Thanks for doing this btw.
 
Just a quick note for anyone spoiling their game and reading the COALESCED_TXT. Be sure to open it with Wordpad and NOT the Windows default Notepad, otherwise it will just show up as a giant wall of text that needs a lot of cleaning up. If this doesn't help you I have a cleaned up version that opens with notepad.

Thank you! That's enough spoilers for me right now. lol I need to get this game!
 
I really enjoyed that! I'm looking forward to actually seeing it play out in the game. I had to quit lurking over at the forums at MKO...some of those people have no concept on what a change of story is even though Ed has been saying things will change for almost a year now. The only gripe I could have would be that Mileena didn't grow up with Kitana, but that doesn't even really matter to me. Plus none of the characters I really like died :D

Kitana dies, so idk what you were referring to about Mileena growing up with her.
