For generations the ruler of Outworld Shao Kahn has tried time and time again to gain control of the Earthrealm through tournament battle.
However, he has been beaten back each time by the champions of the realm.
Growing tired of the progressive defeats, the emperor calls upon his dark mages, the Shadow Priests, let by Shang Tsung, to open portals to new realms far from the intervention of the Elder Gods.
Upon breaching the inter-dimensional boundaries Kahn discovers that the inhabitants possess elemental mastery unique to each of their continents.
In addition, there also exists a peacekeeper who can master all four elements - an "Avatar."
Kahn realises if he can claim the souls of this new world, along with the soul of the Avatar, his power will increase tenfold and, defying the Elder Gods, he will finally conquer Earthrealm.
However, Shao Kahn's actions have not gone unnoticed, and the Elder Gods have dispatched the champions of Earth to defend this realm and their own, in Mortal Kombat.
These are the words of Raiden.
