Kabal arrived at a harbor and awaited for the vessel that would bring him, along with the earthrealm warriors to Shang Tsung's island. He looked around at all who were there trying to distinguish the kombatants from the common workers of the district. One person in particular stood out to Kabal, he has seen him before on a poster or something. He was a movie actor Johnny something, Kabal didn't care he was just concentrating on his mission. What appeared to be a Shaolin Monk boarded soon after, but what he saw next deeply surprised him. His fellow Black Dragon member Kano, being pursued by the special forces, most prominently Sonya Blade. Kabal knew of her because of Kano, Sonya had been after Kano for some time now and has unsuccessfully tried to capture him on many occasions. Kabal hid himself from his ally and friend as he was under strict order to let no one know of his mission. After those two were on board Kabal slipped out of his hiding place and continued to watch as others boarded the ship, many who he could sense were weak and wouldn't live through the tournament. Above him on a building top he noticed a figure in blue being attacked by a yellow clad ninja, that a few seconds later disappeared into flames. A few hours later after he watched numerous other fighters board the ship, he quietly approached the ship and hopped aboard. The boat soon shipped out heading for the island.
