The scene opens in a cave adorned with stone statues. The camera pans down to show various human-like figures, who are in fact the Elder Gods. Johnny Cage begins a narration.
JOHNNY: Millions of years ago, Shinnok, one of the Elder Gods, turned on his fellow deities and invaded the Earthrealm.
The camera finishes it's pan down, revealing Shinnok cowering before five of the Elder Gods, who's statues tower over him. The scene cuts to a shot of a chain, and the camera pans up to show Shinnok imprisoned in them amongst stone depictions of hellish scenery.
JOHNNY: Raiden and the Elder Gods stopped Shinnok. Locked him up in the Netherrealm.
The shot fades into another, a slow pan over a stone warhammer that reveals Outworld's most notorious emperor.
JOHNNY: Others followed in Shinnok's footsteps, like Outworld's emperor Shao Kahn, who was obsessed with conquering Earthrealm.
Cut to a shot of a Raiden statue, poised to fight, with the Mortal Kombat's iconic dragon logo behind him. On opposite sides of the logo stand statues of Goro and Shang Tsung.
JOHNNY: So Raiden convinced the Elder Gods to enact the Mortal Kombat tournament as a way to even the odds... give Earthrealm a chance.
The camera pans past Raiden to center on the logo itself, then it fades into a shot of Kano dueling Sonya, before circling around a depiction of Johnny facing three Tarkatans at once.
JOHNNY: For generations, Shao Kahn followed the Elder Gods' rules. The war moved to the arena, where he sent his toughest fighters to challenge Raiden's greatest defenders in Mortal Kombat.
The camera pans over to Liu Kang and Y/N punching a hole in Shao Kahn's chest, with background noise of the fight sounding out over Johnny's narration.
JOHNNY: Two years ago, we beat him.
In the background noise, Liu Kang and Y/N's final blow of the bout is heard, as is Shao Kahn's death scream.
JOHNNY: But Shao Kahn wasn't ready to lose.
Cut to another shot of statues, this one showing Tarkatans attacking Earthrealm's military forces. The screams and sounds of slaughter are once again heard in the background.
JOHNNY: He violated the rules of Mortal Kombat and invaded Earthrealm.
Fade in to a depiction of some of the kombatants sitting on the ground holding onto either themselves of their friends.
JOHNNY: Most of Earth's defenders - our friends - were injured fighting Sindel the queen of Edenia. But something happened that shook all of us to our core.
Fade into multiple statue's of everyone we know as they stand side by side and into the back as they have glowing eyes.
JOHNNY: Quan Chi used some sort of dark magic to make copies of our friends. Revenants their called or as Y/N says they are called.
Fade into the statue of Shao Kahn, now ensnared and being bitten by dragon serpents - the Elder Gods in corporeal form. His mighty warhammer falls to his side and out of frame. The statue begins to crumble into pieces.
JOHNNY: Despite the odds, we stopped Shao Kahn's invasion. As punishment, the Elder Gods destroyed him.
As the camera pans up to his face, we hear one last cry of defeat from Kahn as his statue completely falls apart. The camera cuts to and circles around another statue, this one holding a familiar looking amulet with an emerald at it's centre.
JOHNNY: We thought the long nightmare was over. But it turns out that Shinnok had been manipulating events.
The camera finishes panning up to Shinnok's face, and also shows a statue of Quan Chi over his shoulder.
