Mortal Kombat is not about death, but rather, the preservation of life. In the ninth tournament Lui Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade defeated the demond Outworld sorcerer Shang Tsung and his legion of followers. The battle for the Earth warriors was for fame, retribution, and justice, but in the end all toward a common enemy. With the help of Kitana, Lui Kang faced Shang Tsung at The Pit in Outworld, and once again preserved the safety of the world of another generation.

Shortly after returning home, Outworld emperor Shao Kahn opened the portals to Earth and released his extermination squads. In the confusion Johnny Cage was killed by Kahn, leaving Earth one less warrior to lead the battle against Kahn. Rayden leads the mortals away from the battles and into the depths of the Earth to gain support in the fight.

Lui Kang leads the group into the darkness of Outworld where they learn Rayden is the brother of Shao Kahn, the two sons of the corrupt elder god Shinnok. Loosing trust in Rayden Lui Kang, Kitana, Sonya, and Jax go to face Kahn and his generals in a final battle for the control of Earth. Before the battle Rayden appears and is given on last chance by Shinnok to join his family, Rayden refuses and is killed by Kahn.

Lui Kang challenges Kahn as the others fight the generals of Kahn. During the battle Lui Kang learns to use his animality against Kahn. Kahn turns and uses his own against Lui Kang. Soon after the other two elder gods join Shinnok and proclaim the fate of the world should be decided as only it should be in Moral Kombat.

Lui Kang defeats Kahn, closing his portals to Earth and sending Shinnok to the deep dark fiery depths of the Nether-realm. Lui Kang, Kitana, Jax, Sonya, and Sindel returned to Earth where Rayden had taken his new place as an Elder God.

It has been several months since Annihilation and now the free roaming sorcerer Quan Chi has once again resurfaced. His intentions are unclear but he goes deep into the Nether-realm seeking the fallen Elder God Shinnok. With his eye set on Earth and Lui Kang Quan Chi vows to stop at nothing to gain control of Earth through Mortal Kombat.

He now rages an new tournament, a new war against Earth. Will Lui Kang and the others be able to defeat this new evil threatening Earth. Time is running out, Earth's control hangs on the balance of a few chosen warriors in this, Mortal Kombat Retribution.
