After the preview, Shujinko reveals to the uneasy Takeda that Kenshi came to the Kang Temple after he left his son with the Shirai Ryu. Shujinko also mentions Daegon, Kenshi's "mortal enemy", and how Takeda's father ended up choosing war with the Red Dragon over his own family. Meanwhile, Hanzo brushes off Havik's accusations against Raiden and goes to take the Kamidogu, only to find that it's an illusion. Havik comments that Shujinko wouldn't just leave the Kamidogu out in the open, and when Hanzo demands that the cleric tell him where it is, Havik swears that he doesn't have it and he'll tell Hanzo the truth about Raiden and everything else. Havik reveals that he knows Raiden is corrupt... because he's the one who corrupted him, as he rips off the bottom half of his face! Havik also admits that he corrupted all of the Kamidogu's victims, and that with Takeda not there, Hanzo is next! Speaking of Takeda, at the same time, he finds himself attacked by a possessed Shujinko, armed with the Kamidogu of Chaos!
At the Sky Temple, Fujin returns to find Raiden brooding near the Jinsei. Fujin reports that the retaining seals at the Netherrealm border are intact, and there is no trace of Quan Chi or his revenants. However, Fujin admits that there is something else that concerns him... while they've kept Earthrealm's borders repaired and reinforced, they've neglected the place between realms: Shang Tsung's island. Fujin brings up the possibility that the blood demon used it to slip into Earthrealm, and says that when he tried to go there, he found himself repelled by retaining seals similar to Raiden's. Raiden is disturbed by this news, and then tries approaching the Jinsei energy... only to find himself repelled! Raiden confesses that the Jinsei has been rejecting him since this morning, and Fujin realizes it is because the Jinsei can still sense the Kamidogu's influence within him. Raiden tells Fujin that they have three Kamidogu safe in the Sky Temple, and they must warn Johnny and Sonya due to Outworld's shared vulnerability to Shang Tsung's island!

Sonya confesses that she's just worried about what's might have happened to Cassie, and as Johnny tries to lend his support, Sonya notices something that raises her ire: a Black Dragon crate! Sonya opens the crate to find some sort of bomb inside, and is not happy about this, but Kotal then arrives on the scene and asks Sonya if something is the matter. As Johnny whispers that Kotal's their only means of getting to Cassie and Jacqui, Sonya lies that she was just making sure the crates were properly packed, and Kotal tells her and Johnny to come onboard the ship. Sonya and Johnny comply, still not happy about what they just found.
