Twenty Years Later...

It's been twenty years since Quan Chi escaped, Y/N continues to work for thr Special Forces as Sonya and Johnny had a daughter and got married but got a divorce soon after. Meanwhile in Outworld, Kotal Kahn's warriors march through the streets, along with the Outworld equivalent of oxen dragging a large carriage. Leading the march are the wandering mercenary Erron Black and the living amalgamation of souls known only as Ermac. TInside of the carriage, Outworlds latest emperor; the Osh-Tekk warrior Kotal Kahn is talking with Kano while D'Vorah sits beside Kano.

Kotal: Twenty million.

Kano: Emperor, what's the expression? "S' not worth the dirt on my shoe"? 

D'Vorah: Kotal Kahn has always bargained with you fairly, Kano. 

kano: Sure, sure. I'm just sayin'; upgraded weapons, my intel and - poof! The long Outworld civil war - done. Might be nice to kick back a bit, eh? 

Kotal: You know Mileena's location. 

Kano: And 'er whole rebel army. S'gotta be worth at least fifty. 

Kotal: I must attack her. Immediately. End this conflict. As you say... 

Kano looks over to the rooftops through the carriage windows. He spots the former empress Mileena running over them, accompanied by the Edenian demi-god Rain. 

Kotal: ...it drains us. 

Kano refocuses his attention on Kotal. 

Kano: Right. Do we have a deal? 

The driver of Kotal's cart suddenly calls a halt, bringing the carriage to a stop. D'Vorah immediately checks the window. 

Kotal: What is it, D'Vorah? 

D'Vorah: The emperor should not be concerned. Accident ahead. This One will clear it. 

As she exits the carriage, two massive carts of stacked crates block the roadway. Kotal's soldiers move to heave them aside as D'Vorah walks up to them. 

D'Vorah: Make way for Kotal Kahn! Move! 

On the rooftops, Mileena, her daughter, Luna, and Rain spy on the proceedings, accompanied by the treacherous Edenian Tanya and several Tarkatans.

Luna: The Tarkatans are in position. We await your order. 

Mileena: It is given, daughter. 

Luna nods to Tanya and she and Luna sneaks off with several Tarkatans in tow. 

Rain: Stopping a carriage is nothing. Killing an emperor- 

Mileena: FALSE emperor! 

Rain: -requires power. Power you have, Mileena. And won't use. 

Mileena begrudgingly pulls out what Rain is referring to Shinnok's Amulet. 

Mileena: It pains me to use it, Rain. I need more time. The usurper's excursion came too soon. 

Rain: The rain falls when it may. 

Mileena: No matter - if Kano does what I paid him to do. 

Back at the cart pile up, Ermac is telekinectically moving the crates, while Kotal's soldiers still struggle with the carts themselves. 

D'Vorah: Now! Do it! 

More soldiers walk over to help. Inside the carriage, Kotal Kahn waits impatiently and silenty with Kano, who seems to be staring him down to pass the time. A shout outside the carriage attracts Kotal's attention, and he turns to see an entire army of Tarkatan warriors madly rushing down a back alley directly at his forces. Outworld civilians scatter at the rush, but Kotal's forces rush in to intercept them. At the same time, more Tarkatans rush in from an alley on the opposite side of the carriage, forcing the soldiers to divide up to fight them off. Seeing the army approach, D'Vorah, Ermac and Erron Black charge into the foray. Ermac ducks a blade swipe from a Tarkatan, telekinetically lifts him into the air and viciously bends him backwards, snapping his spine, before blasting his corpse into another Tarkatan. Erron Black shoots a charging Tarkatan in the face with his revolver, killing him instantly. He turns and blocks a swipe from another, before putting his gun directly into the mutant's mouth and pulling the trigger. As that one falls dead, Erron is tackled by a third, knocking his hat off in the process. Two of Kotal's soldiers gang up to stab a Tarkatan to death, while another mutant slashes a soldier across the chest with his arm blades, killing him. That Tarkatan spots D'Vorah and charges her along with two more of his comrades. As they approach, D'Vorah extends two of her hidden appendages, brutally stabbing the mutants to death before they can get in range of her. She pauses to take a breath, and as she does she spots even more Tarkatans charging into the melee. Inside the carriage, Kotal Kahn watches all of this with barely contained fury.
