It has been twenty years since I last saw her… Twenty years… By now she probably has aged, hell who am I kidding, she's dead. … I'm sure the injury she had gotten killed her before they could even get to earth realm… I tried to move on, I tried finding Noob, but found that impossible… So, I simply just stay in the Nether realm, killing all those who oppose me, and all those wishing for death. That was until Reptile came to see me one day.
"Are you competing in the tournament?"
"Ha, Isn't Shao Kahn dead?"
"Of course not." Reptile seemed to smirk. "He's still pretty set on taking over earth realm."
"And what's his plan this time?"
"Queen Sindel."
"Now I know she's dead."
"There is someone who is about to rectify that."
I look at him, hoping he was not about to give the response I dreaded…
"He's back…"
I feel anger wash over me, if there were any way to get rid of him… "Well I guess it doesn't matter… He has nothing he can take from me anymore."
"Scorpion… I really think you should come to the tournament." Reptile looked at me for a brief second. "Hope to see you there."
I let his words sink in as I watch him dissolve through a portal... Maybe I should go, what's the worst that can happen?
I look at all the competitors from Earth Realm. And as always, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and the other mortals are here, and one I do not know… He's a young man, in his twenties; he has medium length black hair that is pulled into a pony tail. He wears yellow attire, a lot like mine.
"Scorpion." I hear lord Raiden coming from behind me.
"Who is that fighter?" I point to the man.
" He is a promising young man, I have trained him myself." He looks at me. "His name is Hanzo."
