Suggested by davidmartins
Outrealm is in a state of civil war after Shao Khan's death in the Earthrealm invasion. On one side of the power struggle you have Mileena, hoping to take power after her adoptive father's death. She also has made a deal with the Edenian Tanya to give Edenia its independence. However she had made this deal with Tanya not out of benevolence, but instead out of lust. On the other side of the conflict is General Kotal, who wishes to take the throne and not be a tyrant like his potential predecessor. Both heroes and villans must choose sides in this war. The Lin Kuei especially after Sektor's head injury received while defending Earthrealm. A simple injury may cuase one side to lose a valuable ally. Sacrifices will have to be made all around in order to safeguard a great future for not just Outrealm, but for Earthrealm as well.
