If he's successful, Shang Tsung will conquer Earth without winning a Mortal Kombat tournament, which is cheating.
Raiden confirms that Shang Tsung is trying to lure Liu Kang and his allies to Outworld where he can order his henchmen to attack them and bide his time for power. They escape back to the Wu Shi Academy but Baraka and the Tarkatan launch an attack on the Wu Shi Academy and capture Sonya. Everyone evacuates except Liu Kang and Kung Lao who fall into Goro's Lair. Raiden appears afterwards and warns the remaining fighters to get off the island palace for it's collapsing into the sea. He's soon followed by Baraka, Goro, Reptile, Kano, and strangely Scorpion. With Goro distracting everyone else, Shang Tsung creates a portal to Outworld and retreats. Weakened, Shang Tsung tries to get up, but the room quakes.Įmerging from a hallway, Goro appears and moves in on any fighter he sees. Although the sorcerer tries morphing into various fighters, Liu Kang punches him several times and finishes him with the Flying Kick, sending Shang Tsung through a pillar. Kung Lao proceeds to fight Baraka and Liu Kang continues fighting Shang Tsung. Baraka ducks and avoids the hat, but narrowly. Kung Lao throws his bladed hat at one of Baraka's henchmen, decapitating him. Shang Tsung gains the advantage and proceeds to consume Liu Kang's soul but is interrupted by a disguised Kung Lao. Liu Kang defeats them and fights the sorcerer. The Shaolin monk Liu Kang confronts Shang Tsung and is met instead by two of his masked guards. While the demon sorcerer watches from his throne, several fights occur: Sonya Blade vs. The battle raged furiously on Shang Tsung's island fortress in the Lost Sea.
