A few days before the last tournament for the victory of Outworld, Kuai Liang was supposedly kidnapped by members of the Shirai Ryu clan who declared war against their clan (The Lin Kuei) in order to conquer their lands and expand their territorial area. Then his older brother Bi-Han, the former Sub-Zero and most respected member of the Lin Kuei, offers to go to the Shaolin Temple in search of rescuing him and preventing the worst from happening. But during the journey, Sub-Zero discovers that there is much more involved in this story and still as serious as a war between the Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu.
