(Bo Rai Cho takes a drink from his flask)

(Raiden teleports in)

Bo Rai Cho: Raiden! Raiden, my old friend!

(Raiden and Bo Rai Cho shake hands with both of their hands)

Raiden: Master Bo Rai Cho. I am pleased to see you. It mas been many years

Bo Rai Cho: Yes, too long. We old warriors need to stick together eh?

Raiden: Most certainly. I presume recent circumstances precipitate your arrival

Bo Rai Cho: Yes yes. I am concerned that Shinnok may return. I've been trying to contact you. I had feared the worst

Raiden: When Kano misappropriated Shinnok's amulet, he left behind a snare. Disabling it required that I travel to many strange realms. I must retire to the Jinsei chamber, regain my strength

Bo Rai Cho: You are close to recovering it then? Shinnok's amulet?

Raiden: I do not know. Disabling Kano's snare required my full attention. Once I am rejuvenated, I will confer with General Blade

Bo Rai Cho: If only we could have destroyed Shinnok during the last war. If only he were mortal

(Raiden uses his magic to open the Jinsei chamber, then Bo Rai Cho walks into the chamber with Raiden)

Bo Rai Cho: Such beauty. Like gazing upon the elder gods themselves

Raiden: I hold out hope that we can turn this crisis to our advantage

Bo Rai Cho: How so?

Raiden: Quan Chi's magic binds the souls of many that we hold dear. Capture him, and we can force him to release them

Bo Rai Cho: Liu Kang and Kung Lao restored? I suppose it is possible

Raiden: As long as Quan Chi lives. I've long regretted losing our comrades souls to the nether realms evil. Kung Lao and Liu Kang...
They were like sons. I would move the heavens to bring them back to the light

(Flash back 25 years ago)

Kung Lao: It is as master Bo Rai Cho said. The Shaolin masters are aboard that ship

Liu Kang: Bo Rai Cho said two ships

Raiden: The other was disembarked. We need to determine it's destination

Kung Lao: They will talk, I will see to it

Liu Kang: No extraordinary means, Kung Lao

Kung Lao: They raided the Wu Shi academy! Killed master Wen!

Raiden: Even with tarkatans, there are boundaries that we do not cross

(Kung Lao sighs)

Kung Lao: Yes, Lord Raiden

Liu Kang: I still cannot believe that Shao Khan would order such a brazen attack

Raiden: It demonstrated earth realm's vulnerability. Shao Khan knew that we would have no choice but to agree to this new tournament

Kung Lao: Liu Kang defeated Shang Tsung. He will beat Shao Khan

Raiden: In good time, Kung Lao. First we free the Shaolin

(An army of tarkatans are beating up a group of Shaolin monks and boarding them on a ship)

D'vorah: Are all aboard? This one leaves with the tide
