"Thousands of years ago in a battle with the fallen elder god known as
Shinnok, I was responsible for the
death of an entire civilization.
To rid
all realms of Shinnok's menace I waged a war that plunged the earth into
centuries of darkness and banished
Shinnok to a place called the Netherealm.
Now
after Shao Kahn's defeat at the hands of Earth's warriors, Shinnok has
managed to escape his confines of the
Netherealm.
The war is now being fought once again, and this time it can be won by
mortals."
