Dumb and ugly.

- Piece of cake.

- Piece of cake, huh?

- Well, it was easy for me.

- Oh get over yourself.

- What is it with you guys?

We're standing...they're not.

What more do you want?

- Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

So why don't you show me what you plan to do about...

them?

Uh-uh....l don't think so.

I think you'll find that this is the way out.

- You guys are lucky he stopped us.

===================================

- So now you've seen what you'll be facing in tournament.

- You mean Goro?

- And Shang Tsung.

- Will Shang Tsung fight in the tournament?

- lf he chooses to.

As a former champion he has the right to do so.

And he's far more dangerous than Goro.

His power comes from the souls of vanquished warriors.

To fight Shang Tsung...

is to face not one...

but a legion of adversaries.

Remember that.

Tomorrow the tournament begins.

Be prepared.

———————————————————

———————————————————

- From this moment on...

my island will be your battleground.

Liu Kang!

You will be first.

Let Mortal Kombat begin!

Your soul is mine.

Fatality.

————————

- Sonya Blade.

l have something for you, my dear.

- l don't want anything from you.

- On the contrary.

l have something you want very much.

You can thank me later.

- Hello, baby.

Did you miss me?

Ooh. Now look at this.

This little baby brings back memories, now doesn't it?

- What, you use it to knife your mother in the back?

- Nah...lt did put a big smile on your partner, though. Ear...

to ear...

Give it up, baby. l've studied all your moves.

-Yeah, study this!

- Did that hurt, baby?

- Yes

Right! Finish him!

- No, Sonya. Don't!

Oh, give me a break!

- Okay.

————————

————————

-Get over here!

Come here!

Welcome!

Get down here!

[''To my Greatest Fan

Johnny Cage'']

===================================

- Begin!

- If you won’t fight with all of your heart...

there is no hope.

- Why do you care if l win or lose?

- To win your next match,

use the element which brings life.

- What?

- Kitana!

- Remember my words.

- Kitana! That's enough!

You disappoint me.

Not very wise.

—————————

—————————

“Use the element which brings life.”

- Water.

===================================

- ls it time?

- Yes.

We've let these humans win enough.

- At last!

———————————————————

- What the...?

- Yeah, that's it! ln and out!

[Yeah! Goro!]

- Come on, Art! You can do it!

- Move! Come on Art.

Use the kick!

- Come on, Art! Get up!

Yeah!

[Kill him!]

Get out! Get out!

[Goro! Goro!

Yes! Goro!]

- Finish him!

- Time to die.

- Finish him!

- No!

- Flawless victory.

Your soul is mine!

- No!

———————————————————

- We can't win now.

How could we possibly beat something like that?

- Good question.

Goro can be killed.

Shang Tsung's power can be destroyed by mortal men and women.

You can overcome any adversary...

no matter how bizarre their powers may seem.

There is always a way.

Only one thing can defeat you:

Your own fear.

- So, who says we're afraid?

- You must first face your fears...

if you are to conquer them.

You, Johnny, are afraid you're a fake...

so you'll rush into any fight

just to prove you're not.

You'll fight...

bravely enough,

but foolishly...

carelessly...

and you'll be beaten.

You, Sonya...

are afraid to admit

even you sometimes need help.

lf you are afraid to trust...

you will lose.

- Wait.

Wait.

What about me?

- Oh, you.

You fear your own destiny.

You already fled it once, when you went to America.

It has brought you guilt for the death of your brother.

- l am responsible for Chan's death.

- No. Every mortal is responsible for his own destiny.

Chan believed this. Why can't you?

- l tried.

- Despair is the most dangerous fear of all.

l know this...

and so does Shang Tsung.

He can peer into your soul...

and use the fear he sees there against you.

You must be prepared.

===================================

[- Liu!

- You will be next.]

———————————————————

- Goro's never been beaten.

You go up against him, he'll kill you.

- Well if l don't...

then he'll finish us off one at a time.

lf l challenge him now...

l can finish this.

- You're making this all sound really simple

and it isn't.

- Yeah, it is.

Because l can't let what happened to Art happen to you.

Not to you.

- Oh, don't you dare do this to protect me, Johnny Cage.

- Trust me. l got a plan.

- Oh I can’t believe this, you are the most egotistical, self-deluded person l have ever met!

-Yeah? Well you forgot ''good looking.''

———————————————————

- Challenging Goro, eh?

You weren't supposed to fight him now.

Are you that eager to die?

- l'm not the one who's gonna die.

- l see.

Very foolish.

The true sign of a hero.

You want to protect your friends,

but make no mistake....

They too will die...

after Goro destroys you.

- So what's the problem?

- As you wish.

As absurd as your request is, l shall grant it.

ln return, l reserve the right

to challenge the winner myself.

Or another of my choosing.

ln a place designated by me

for the final battle of the tournament.

- You got it, pal.

- l don't think so.

- Too late, Lord Raiden.

The rules are quite clear.

lt's... How do you say?

''A deal's a deal.''

- What have you done?

- l made a choice.

This is our tournament, remember?

Mortal Kombat.

We fight it.

- Good. At last one of them has understood.

———————————————————

[Goro! Goro!]

- Finish him quickly.

Pay me my tribute.

- This puny mortal will be no problem.

l'll crush him in one blow.

- Alright.

Let's dance.

-Ohhhh.....Aghhhhh!!!!!

- Yes, haha!

Sorry.

- You imbecile!

- Damn, that hurt.

- Follow him.

Finish him!

[Yes! Yes! Goro! Goro!]

[Finish him! Finish him!]

- Those were $500 sunglasses, a**hole.

-Uh?

- This is where you fall down.

-Ahhhhhh!!!!

———————————————————

-No! Let me go!

- Stop!

- l hereby exercise my right to challenge.

l challenge her.

- You're a coward, sorcerer! Stand and fight.

- We had a deal, remember?

Mortal Kombat continues.

l'm simply changing the place...

as we agreed.

-No!

- Sonya!

- No!

- Where's he taken her?

- To the Emperor's castle...

in the wastelands of Outworld,

where l cannot follow.

- We can.

- Raiden...Can Sonya beat Shang Tsung?

- No. l'm sorry.

- You're sorry?

- There is one last rule.

He neglected to mention it.

- She has to accept the challenge

or there can be no final kombat.

- l have nothing further to teach you, Liu Kang.

You possess the knowledge.

All that is lacking now is the will.

- You sure you don't want to go with us?

ln Outworld, if you look hard enough...

you will find another guide.

Good luck.

They'll need it.

===================================

- This is not good.

But l'm fine.

l can deal with this.

So... this is Outworld, huh?

Well l can see why they want a change of scenery.

- We should head for that tower.

Shang Tsung would have taken Sonya there.

- Liu, l hate this place.

l do. l'm telling you l hate it.
