Dun-Kan Goro's Lair
Goro sits on his throne with Jade laying across his lap, her head resting against the right side of his large chest. As he rests, Drackon enters the room, still wearing his ceremonial armor.
Drackon: Prince Goro. Jade.
Goro: Drackon.
Drackon: Shao Khan has asked that I return to Outworld. I leave you with three assignments.
Goro: Name them, your highness.
Drackon: Don't call me that. Your first order is to protect Kitana and Jade at all costs. Even if that means defying Shang Tsung. If he questions you, tell him the orders came directly from the true Khan of Outworld. Your second order is to eliminate Rain from the tournament. Force him to retreat to Outworld and hide there until the revolution begins. And lastly, deal with Motaro. He is being sent in my place to supervise the tournament. End your rivalry with a final victory over him and finish him. Permanently.
Goro: You have my word, Khan. Motaro will not be an issue, your sister will stay safe, and Rain will drop out of the tournament.
Drackon: Good. Feel free to be extra persuasive. Until we meet again, Goro.
Goro: Until then, Khan.
Drackon puts a hand to his chest and nods his head, then leaves. After he's long gone, Jade sits up and looks Dun-Kan in the eyes.
Jade: Dun-Kan?
Goro: Yes, my love?
She runs a hand along his face while speaking.
Jade: You aren't siding with us only because of me, are you?
Goro: No. I have known Drackon for many years. Unlike his father, he respects the Shokan. He has promised me greater fights than I could ever dream.
Jade: Just wanted to make sure your heart is in it.
Goro: Jade, anywhere you are, my heart is. Now, where is Rain...
