(Sub Zero and Echo climb the mountain to Raiden's sky temple)

(Raiden and Fujin come through the temple doors)

Raiden: No Lin Kuei are welcome here

Fujin: Turn back or suffer the consequences

Echo: Even me?

Raiden: Hmm... I believe you get a pass, but Sub Zero must leave

Sub Zero: Raiden. I have come seeking assistance

Raiden: Assistance? For what end? Your kind has challenged me before

Sub Zero: I am not my brother

Raiden: But you are still Lin Kuei. FIGHT!

Echo: Wait-!

(Fujin blows Echo back with his wind powers)

(Echo and Fujin start fighting in the background)

(Sub Zero fights Raiden and wins with an icy punch)

(Echo and Fujin stop fighting once they see Raiden get knocked down)

Raiden: Truly you are more powerful than your sibling. But the corruption of the Lin Kuei remains within you. And for that reason I-

Sub Zero: The Lin Kuei also have reason to be concerned about this new crisis

Raiden: Indeed. The Lin Kuei act only in their own self interest. Regardless of the impact on earth realm. Why then should I give you the location of Quan Chi?

Sub Zero: For the same reason you helped my brother. To protect earth realm

(Raiden points off into the distance)

Raiden: That rock formation in the distance. It was not here before the invaders came. But through it I have gained insight

(Raiden teleports away with Sub Zero and Echo)

Raiden: Earth realm is merging with another world. Powers are shifting and re balancing. I felt the effects since Shao Khan's defeat. And they have grown ever stronger

Echo: If that is true, that would explain everyone's sudden surges of power. Or declines in power

Sub Zero: Quan Chi foresaw the intrusion of the other world. And their champion would pose a dire threat

Raiden: So the Lin Kuei sent you and Echo to eliminate this champion?

Echo: Yes

Sub Zero: Much like this rock formation, the warriors fortress appeared near the Lin Kuei temple. I wore him down and sealed him in ice

Raiden: You did not wear him down. His power was siphoned away. Re distributed to others

Sub Zero: I must find Quan Chi. To force him to reveal all that he knows

Raiden: Very well, Sub Zero. I will show you the way. Search for Scorpion and you will find Quan Chi. But be forewarned, betray my trust at your own peril

(Sub Zero bows to Raiden)

Echo: If what I know about the nether realm is true, we may need reinforcements

Sub Zero: You handle that. I'll search for a way to the nether realm

Echo: Very well. See you soon

(Soon, at Metropolis)

SubvZero: Scorpion was here. I can sense the nether. But he must have vanished from this spot
