Panel 1: The four warriors all look up at Shao Kahn. He bows to them.
Shao Kahn: How do you all feel about my proposition?
Scorpion: I will happily oblige. I can sense your power from here, even though I can tell you're hiding a lot more.
Sub-Zero: Indeed, even your suppressed power is amazing.
Liu Kang: This can actually be a good test for us. To see how strong we've become so far, especially against a being equal in power to Raiden.
Kung Lao: I say we go for it.
Panel 2: The other three nod in agreement, prompting an excited grin from Shao Kahn.
Shao Kahn: Good! Follow me then.
Panel 3: Shao Kahn leads everyone down the hallway and makes a right to a massive pair of double doors. He opens them up, revealing training quarters. There are several knights practicing with their swords, as well as hand to hand sparring going on. They all stop and bow to Shao Kahn, who bows back.
Shao Kahn: This area is where our knights train. Further down is an arena we use as well.
Panel 4: Shao Kahn leads them to a massive coliseum. There is a knight there, a fair skinned man with dark hair and a beard, along with demon horns and red eyes. He bows to everyone.
Shao Kahn: This is General Adrian, the top knight.
General Adrian: I am pleased to meet all of you. Do you wish to use the coliseum?
Shao Kahn: Indeed, thank you General Adrian.
Panel 5: Adrian nods and opens the double doors that lead to the coliseum. Shao Kahn leads everyone inside. The coliseum looks very similar to the one seen in Outworld. There are rows and rows of seats where spectators would be. Unlike Shao Kahn's Koliseum, there is no massive throne in the middle of the area. Raiden teleports everyone else to the spectator area while the monks, the ninjas and Shao Kahn are in the middle of the arena.
Shao Kahn: Now then, shall we skip the warmup or no?
Scorpion: I'd prefer to just get straight to it.
Sub-Zero: Likewise.
Kung Lao: Fine by me, what about you Liu?
Liu Kang: I've been eager to go for a while now.
Shao Kahn: Splendid. Feel free to attack whenever you are ready.
Panel 6: The warriors each take their stances. Scorpion moves first, teleporting in a burst of flame and aiming a kick at Shao Kahn's head, who raises his arm to block it, however this turns out to be a fake as Scorpion connects with a kick to Shao Kahn's body instead. He follows up with a flaming right uppercut and a jumping right knee. Sub-Zero is next, landing an ice covered cross, left body hook, left head hook, another cross and a right body kick. Kung Lao hops in next, landing his signature chain punches and ending with two left kicks to the body followed by a jumping spin kick. Liu Kang follows up by landing his flying kick and then launching Shao Kahn into the air with a backflip kick. Scorpion appears above Shao Kahn in the air and kicks him to the floor. He bounces back up and Sub-Zero connects with his ice slide, which launches Shao Kahn into the air. Kung Lao connects with a dive kick that sends Shao Kahn crashing to the ground. He then leaps back and waits with the others.
Panel 7: Shao Kahn stands up, dusting himself off and smiling. He wipes blood off his mouth.
Shao Kahn: Ah, good good. You are all indeed powerful. Let's see how you deal with this then
