Panel 1: Scorpion shoots fire from his mouth. Raiden dodges. Scorpion shoots out multiple fireballs from his mouth, which Raiden is barely able to dodge.   Raiden teleports behind Scorpion and places him in a rear naked choke. He squeezes, trying to choke Scorpion out. Scorpion blasts him off with a flame pulse

Panel 2: Scorpion ducks under a cross from Raiden and grabs him by his legs, picking him up over his shoulder. He then slams Raiden violently into the ground.  He sits on Raiden's chest and begins to lay down a vicious ground and pound assault.  He throws flaming punches, before grabbing the back of Raiden's head with his left hand and throwing multiple right elbows into his face. Raiden blasts Scorpion off.  He teleports behind Scorpion and tries to strike him, but Scorpion whips around and blasts him with his flame breath

Raiden: AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Panel 3: Not letting up on his assault, Scorpion grabs Raiden by the throat

Scorpion: BURN THUNDER GOD!

Panel 4: Scorpion burns Raiden, and then tosses him away. Raiden gets up and they begin to trade blows. Scorpion kicks him back

Scorpion: THROUGH FIRE YOU ARE CLEANSED!

Panel 5: Scorpion summons fire beneath Raiden, burning him more.  He then does his Toasty fatality,  burning Raiden badly.  Raiden falls to the ground. Despite this, Raiden is still alive. He  gets up. A large smile is plastered on his face

Raiden: Yes! Magnificent! This is what I wanted! Show me your power so I can crush you at your best!

Panel 6: Scorpion lands multiple flaming body hooks on Raiden, before locking Raiden in a guillotine choke, a move seen in martial arts such as BJJ and wrestling. He wraps his leg's around Raiden's body as his arms attempt to squeeze the life out of Raiden until he passes out. 

Panel 7: Raiden drops to one knee, slowly beginning to pass out. He grits his teeth and blasts Scorpion off, before flying up into the air

Panel 1: Raiden looks down at Scorpion

Raiden: Unleash your full power and blast me! 

Scorpion: That will be your downfall Raiden

Panel 2: A massive flame aura surrounds Scorpion.  He concentrates his energy, tapping into the deepest reserves of his Hellfire.  Two huge fireballs form in his palms. He puts the ends of his hands together, and a gigantic beam of Hellfire shoots out toward Raiden. 

Fujin: What is Raiden doing?! I don't think he can recover from this if it hits him!

Panel 3:  The beam comes closer to hitting Raiden. His eyes widen and he suddenly dodges to the side. The blast shoots all the way into space. Scorpion looks up at Raiden. His skull is no longer flaming, and his flame aura has disappeared. His pupils have also returned, and his left eye is shut and bleeding. 

Scorpion: Son of a bitch he dodged!

Panel 4: Raiden comes down to the ground. Scorpion takes his stance

Scorpion: I will fight until my last breath!

Raiden: That won't be necessary. 

Scorpion: What are you talking about?

Raiden: Sub-Zero! Fight me next!

Panel 5: Scorpion limps off. Jade runs to him. Sub-Zero walks toward Raiden
