This realm came to be known as the OUTWORLD. It was a dark and chaotic and ruled by a vicious emperor. The wise men knew that travel between the dark realm and Earth would someday be possible if the conditions were right. The conditions being the unbalancing of the furies ----negative and positive forces which keep our unstable universe from collapsing onto itself. Knowing that the eminent Outworld invasion would prove too much for Earth, they appealed to the Elder Gods. It was for this reason the Elder Gods created the tournament of Mortal Kombat. Though this contest, we protect not only the safety of our realm, but the existence of our souls. Evil Reborn For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against the Outworld's Emperor -- Shao Kahn. But Kahn becomes frustrated by failed attempts at taking Earth though the tournament battle. He decides to enact a plan which began almost 10,000 years ago. It was during a time in which Kahn had a queen. Her name was Sindel and her premature death was devastating. Kahn's shadow priests, lead by sorcerer Shang Tsung, would make it so Sindel's spirit would someday be reborn - not on the Outworld but on the Earth realm itself. This unholy act gives Shao Kahn the power to step though the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling him to finally seize Earth. Conquest Upon breaching the Portal into Earth, Shao Kahn strips the planet of all human life. He claims every soul as his own. Slowly the Earth begins to transform into a part of the Outworld itself. But there are human souls which Shao Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the warriors chosen to represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat. The warriors are scattered throughout the planet and Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and eliminate them. Some of the Earth's warriors survive the attacks, but most do not. The remaining few hold the chance at saving all of human kind. Radien's Creed Remember these words warriors, You have been chosen to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat. Each of you poses a vital threat to Shao Kahn's occupation of Earth. Be warned; although your souls are protected against Shao Kahn's evil, your lives are not! I can not interfere with these matters any longer. Your earth is now governed by the gods of the Outworld. These are the words of RAIDEN. *Group Stories* -=-=-Kano, Sonya, and Jax=-=- After the first tournament Sonya Blade turned up missing. Jax then embarked on a rescue mission into the Outworld.

JADE (hidden character) By hal@seas.smu.edu The well tanned ninja from MKto returns, with two goals: Kill some stuff and find a great guy to settle down with, once Shao Kahn is defeated! Ending: Having beaten the crap out of everyone in sight, Jade finds her lust for blood satisfied for the time being. She begins searching the Earth for the perfect mate, and finally settles on a shy, lonely computer hacker who attends classes at SMU (and plays too many video games). SKELETON (hidden character) By hal@seas.smu.edu The skeleton hanging on the wall of Goro's lair in both MKI and MKII finally decides to get in on the action! He (she? it?) frees itself and prepares itself to stop Shao Kahn's reign of terror. Ending: Having beaten Shao Kahn, and restoring the people of earth, Skeleton catches the eye of another good looking skeletal system...Spinal!

A master of the deadliest martial arts known, Zazuka was selected by Shao Kahn to train and command the mutants in the wastelands of the Outworld. Many of his students, including Baraka and Reptile, fought in MK 2. Now Shao Kahn has conquered the Earth realm and called upon his disciple to train new legions of extermination squads... Ending: Zazuka was recruited during the early years of the Outworld's decline when Shao Kahn still relied upon strength and skill to destroy his enemies. As his lust for power rages out of control, Kahn turns to sorcery to rule the realm. Zazuka has no respect for sorcerers, however, and resolves to destroy the evil that has tarnished his honor and his soul. He enters the tournament and slays not only Motaro and Shao Kahn, but most of his former students as well. He then returns to the OutWorld and pledges to serve Princess Kitana. {I don't exactly know what Zazuka woud look like, but he would probably be dressed in black and be armed with at least five different weapons, including a sword, a sai, and a pair of nunchucks. I would refrain from making him into some kind of Outworld ninja, though.) NAPALM mnk6718@tamucc.edu Story: Major Kirk Matson was the director of an Army weapons development facility when Shao Kahn arrived. He can only watch in horror as all of his comrades die before his eyes. Desperately seeking other survivors in the city where his family had lived, he meets Kurtis Stryker. Stryker has recently been visited by Raiden and he shares his vision with Matson. Unable to find his family and pursued by Kahn's extermination squads, Matson returns to his lab and begins to prepare for the tournament. He uses all of his skill and technology to graft the most powerful weapons he can find onto his body. He emerges from his labortory to begin a quest for revenge. Ending: Armed with the latest technology and a fierce hatred, Napalm enters the tournament and destroys Kahn and his legions. As Kahn dies beneath the foot of Napalm, the souls that he claimed are released and the Earth realm is restored. Not all evil can be undone, however, and since Shao Kahn had inhabited both realms, the souls that he stole are scattered across the Earth and the Outworld. Many evil things are released on Earth and many innocent humans appear in the Outworld. Unable to find his family on Earth, the major can only conclude that they are trapped in the Outworld. In honor of his victory over Kahn, Raiden grants Matson's plea and opens a portal. Napalm disappears forever into the realm of the Outworld. (We have a wide choice of weapons here, but I think a flamethrower is definitely a necessity. I would also add a small cansister full of nerve gas that he could use on his opponents. Perhaps that would replace one of the combos in his arsenal.) William Jefferson Clinton: The following are by kwings@ix.netcom.com He will randomly change the direction he is facing. His projection weapons are Waffles, which will change direction at random. Ending: Finally removes himself from the yoke of his wife, but it isn't enough to get relected.
