So picking up where we last left off, a Shokan General starts a rally cry for the rest of the Shokan/Oni army. Kotal Kahn, looking upon the impending doom hears a voice from behind him. D'vorah states she's ready to parlay with the Shokan. Kotal gives here a scroll with his terms, and told D'Vorah to be unwavering whilst delivering these terms. Reptile states that no matter what happens, if D'Vorah is successful or unsuccessful, the Imperial army is ready to fight the Shokan. Sonya and Johnny's Special Forces are too ready, as they are setting up barricades and other strategic defences. Sonya and Johnny's tension is still evident as Johnny suggests some new tactics to Sonya, yet she ignores him. Johnny is worried about Sonya due to the hot headed nature of Kotal Kahn's diplomats (D'vorah and Ferra/Torr).
D'Vorah approaches Kintaro on the battlefield with Ferra/Torr close behind her, riding on a Dinosaur creature. Kintaro snaps at D'Vorah, states that he never parlayed with a woman before, especially such a repellant one. D'Vorah ignores this insult and continues being nice to Kintaro and begins to hand over the Emperor's terms to Kintaro. Kintaro swats the scroll out of D'Vorah's hands and states that the Shokan do not seek the Emperor's charity. Kintaro says that Kotal Kahn has to surrender to King Gorbak in one hour, or the Shokan/Oni Army will completely destroy Z'Unkarah. D'Vorah states that Kotal will never surrender, and Kintaro replies by saying Z'Unkarah will fall an hour earlier than expected.
Sonya hears news of the terms not coming to agreement and communicates with Johnny. She asks for the status of his position on the wall, in which Cage replies that there's movement within the Shokan/Oni horde. Just then, Cage sees an Oni Warlord charging towards the wall in which he's stationed at. The Oni Warlord is charging with a tree trunk, and as Johnny commands his team to brace for impact, his radio goes silent. Sonya, worried for he ex husband, screams into her radio asking for Johnny to respond as the Oni Warlord charges into the wall where Cage is stationed and destroys it...
The scene now shifts to Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Takeda's battle. Picking up where we left off, a normal Kuai Liang is begging Scorpion to hear him out and that the Frozen Wasteland of the City he created wasn't due to his choosing. Scorpion, with Flaming Swords is overpowering Sub-Zero and in full rage mode screams at Sub-Zero asking why he's blaming the Kamidogu, when he was supposed to return it to Raiden, but instead took it for a joy ride. Scorpion then breaks Sub-Zero's Ice Blades. Sub-Zero then states the dagger possessed him right when he gained possession of it, and begins to fight back. Sub-Zero then states that he will return to Raiden with Hanzo and Takeda to explain what happened. Scorpion snaps back at Sub-Zero and doubts he'll explain, and just make excues, just like his Brother explained the Lin Kuei's crimes against the Shirai Ryu. Sub-Zero tells Scorpion to move on, there is no Lin Kuei, the only member left is Sub-Zero, the rest are all Cyborgs. Scorpion then says that if he and Sub-Zero are both the last of their clans, then they should finish their battle. Scorpion summons demons as seen in his Inferno variation which hold Sub-Zero in place. Scorpion then states that he commends Kuai Liang's soul to the Netherrealm in the name of the fallen, and stabs Sub-Zero through the chest with his two swords. As Sub-Zero is dying, he states that he isn't a monster, and they both did terrible things together while possessed by Quan Chi. Scorpion then asks if he remembers the agony of being controlled by an evil spirit. Sub-Zero says he does not. Scorpion then snaps back and says he does remember, he remembers the last time he held his son, the last time his wife called his name, the agony of losing them. Scorpion goes into full Inferno mode now, with a flaming skull for a face. He then does his Toasty Fatality on Sub-Zero.
As Scorpion is burning Sub-Zero, Takeda calls to him, and implores him to remember what he said to him. He reminds Scorpion that Scorpion doesnt know what it's like to be controlled, because all the evil he did was his choice, due to the misguiding nature of vengeance. Which Takeda reminds Scorpion as that is what he told him. Takeda then says that they have the Kamidogu which is what they came for, and now Scorpion has a choice, to either give into the vengeance like the blood demon wants, or save the world so they could rebuild the Shirai Ryu like they planned. Scorpion finally comes to his sense and becomes Hanzo again. Hanzo pulls his swords out of Sub-Zero and realizes that he will live, not for long, but long enough for Sub-Zero to realize and reflect on his misdeeds.
Takeda and Scorpion leave and are going to take the Kamidogu back to the Sky Temple. Takeda remarks that Scorpion won the rematch, but Scorpion isn't happy at all as Sub-Zero was already injured and he states what good is it to win if he's losing himself in the process? He thinks next time he could lose it altogether and never come back. Takeda says that there will be no next time as Sub-Zero isn't coming back from that. Scorpion replies maybe not, but stranger things have happened. As he says that, we see Sub-Zero lying on the ground, blood pouring out of him but interestingly, the blood forms the Dragon Logo of Mortal Kombat...
