Story

Lui Kang challenges Shang Tsung to a battle on his island fortress in the Lost Sea, and is overcome by the powerful sorcerer. However, through the intervention of Kun Lao, Tsung is stopped before he can fully absorb Lui Kang's soul. Goro, the four-armed prince of the Shokan race, enters the battle and gives Shang Tsung time enough to escape through a portal. In the ensuing chaos, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage and Sub Zero all attempt to defeat Shang Tsung and Goro, but are defeated. Lui Kang and Kung Lao fall from the island fortress down into Goro's lair. It's up to the two Shaolin monks to work their way through the brutal Outworld and stop Shang Tsung from gaining complete control over Earth.
