It began with the defeat of the Great Kung Lao. 500 years ago, the legendary warrior of the White Lotus Society had been defeated in Mortal Kombat by the tournament's champion, the Shokan Prince Goro. Now, Earthrealm was on the verge of being conquered by Outworld's leader, Shao Kahn. To give the warriors of Earthrealm a fighting chance, the thunder god, Raiden convinced the Elder Gods to enact the tournament as means of evening the odds. Ultimately, the fighting monk Liu Kang had defeated Goro and Shang Tsung and emerged victoriously. As past and future collide once more, warriors from both the Forces of Light and Darkness are brought into the current timeline for the culmination of all of the time. None can survive what is to come. Alliances will be tested, the cost will be high, the sacrifices unthinkable, and old rivalries will be revived, for one last time. At last, it has come to this final battle.
Armageddon has begun!
