This story follows the Lin Kuei assassin and thief Sub-Zero hired by the sorcerer Quan Chi to steal a map of elements from a Shaolin temple. While battling through the Shaolin monks who guarded the map, Sub-Zero also faces his rival, Scorpion from the Shirai Ryu who was also hired by Quan Chi.
Quan Chi would also request Sub-Zero to follow the map to the Temple of Elements, where an amulet of "sentimental value" was resting.
