               *General Story*
               The Beginning
         (Insert dark, spooky, music here)

     Thousands of years ago an order of the wisest men from the Far East
received visions of a dark realm. This realm came to be known as the
OUTWORLD. It was a dark and chaotic and ruled by a vicious emperor. The
wise men knew that travel between the dark realm and Earth would someday
be possible if the conditions were right. The conditions being the
unbalancing of the furies ----negative and positive forces which keep our
unstable universe from collapsing onto itself. Knowing that the eminent
Outworld invasion would prove too much for Earth, they appealed to the
Elder Gods. It was for this reason the Elder Gods created the tournament
of Mortal Kombat. Though this contest, we protect not only the safety of
our realm, but the existence of our souls. 

               Evil Reborn

     For centuries Earth has used Mortal Kombat to defend itself against
the Outworld's Emperor -- Shao Kahn. But Kahn becomes frustrated by failed
attempts at taking Earth though the tournament battle. He decides to enact
a plan which began almost 10,000 years ago. It was during a time in which
Kahn had a queen. Her name was Sindel and her premature death was
devastating.  Kahn's shadow priests, lead by sorcerer Shang Tsung, would
make it so Sindel's spirit would someday be reborn - not on the Outworld
but on the Earth realm itself. This unholy act gives Shao Kahn the power
to step though the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling
him to finally seize Earth. 


               Conquest

     Upon breaching the Portal into Earth, Shao Kahn strips the planet of
all human life. He claims every soul as his own. Slowly the Earth begins
to transform into a part of the Outworld itself. But there are human souls
which Shao Kahn cannot take. These souls belong to the warriors chosen to
represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat. The warriors are scattered
throughout the planet and Kahn sends an army of fierce Outworld warriors
to find and eliminate them. Some of the Earth's warriors survive the
attacks, but most do not. The remaining few hold the chance at saving all
of human kind. 

               Radien's Creed

Remember these words warriors,

     You have been chosen to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat. Each of you
poses a vital threat to Shao Kahn's occupation of Earth. Be warned;
although your souls are protected against Shao Kahn's evil, your lives are
not! I can not interfere with these matters any longer. Your earth is now
governed by the gods of the Outworld. These are the words of RAIDEN.

violent death, Kano was ignorant of the fact that he saved the world he 
tried to conquer.

bell.

conquest of earth. He has now been granted more power than
ever.

Ending:
     When Shao Kahn overtakes the Earth, he needs Shang Tsung to help 
locate the surviving humans.  Granted new powers, Tsung soon discovers 
his dark emperor's true plan:  as soon as the remaining warriors are 
disposed of, Kahn will take Tsung's own soul.  After learning this, Tsung 
turns on his master.  He catches Motaro off guard and then defeats Shao 
Kahn.  But before the Earth can return to normal, Tsung takes all the

Kuei, he broke sacred codes of honor by leaving his clan and is marked
for death. But unlike the ninja of old his pursuers come as machines. He
must not only defend from the Outworld menace, but he must also elude
his soulless assassins.

Ending:
     Sub-Zero finds himself hunted not only by the two cyber-ninjas,
but a third, his old ally Smoke, who has been automated. Sub-Zero
defeats Kahn, and he destroys the Cyber-Ninja's except for the third.
Smoke was a friend of Sub-Zero in his Lin Kuei days, so Sub-Zero helps
him discover his true identity. After Smoke rediscovered himself,
Sub-Zero gives Smoke his soul back and returns him to human form.
Sub-Zero then returns to the shadows, his legacy known by a select few.
(Editors note: He really loves those shadows.)

grabs the victim and pulls them straight up off the screen, then bones and

needed by Kahn to finish off the chosen ones.

     *Scorpion* BY Robocod (Robocod@aol.com)
     accidentally thrown through the Portal, Scorpions wounds are healed

          *Goro, Prince of Pain* By Kurt A. Sanders
(kasande@rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu
Goro was killed by Liu Kang in the first
Mortal Kombat tournament.  Shang Tsung was on hand, and captured
Goro's soul to add to his own power.  Through the following
tournament, Goro struggled against Tsung, but the wizard was too
powerful.  In the third tournament, however, Tsung came up against
his old nemesis, Liu Kang; along with Kung Lao.  Tsung fought a good
battle, but was on the losing side.  In desperation, Tsung attempted to
morph himself into Goro.  This was the opportunity the Prince of
Pain needed.  He took control of Tsung's body and easily crushed
his enemies Kang and Kung. Then he, along with Sheeva, killed
Motaro and the traitorous Kahn.

*Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat I)* By Kurt A. Sanders (kasande@rs6000.cmp.
ilstu.edu)
     In the original tournament, Scorpion was matched up against
Sub-Zero.  The hellspawned ninja killed his enemy.  Then, when
Scorpion was hunting Sub-Zero's brother, the current Sub-Zero, the
original ice ninja made a deal with the devil.  After Scorpion
realized the situation with the current Sub-Zero, the hellspawned
Sub-Zero (Brimstone for lack of a better name) attacked Scorpion.
After a battle, Brimstone made the score against Scorpion two to one.
Brimstone had a contract to fulfil, so he entered the final Mortal
Kombat. Along the way, he killed his brother for his crimes against
the clan. Brimstone finally came up against Shang Tsung, and killed
him; completing his final contract.  Brimstone then retired to hell,
content to let Kahn rule Earth.

*Noob Saibot* By Kurt A. Sanders (kasande@rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu)
Noob Saibot was the former king of the Outworld.  He had been cursed
to his shadow form after Kahn defeated him and stole his wife and
twins.  One of his daughters, Jade, slipped out of Kahn's enchantment,
and was banished to the Earth realm as well.  With the resurrection
of Sindel, both Saibot and Jade were able to overcome their curse,
and along with the help of Codeine they break the enchantment on
Sindel.  Together the family crush Kahn's evil, letting good reign
over Earth and the Outworld, unknowingly tipping the furies to the
side of good and destroying the universe.  Have a nice day.

*Millena* By Robocod (Robocod@aol.com)

stubbornly refuses to die. She drifts as a ghost, unable to touch,
communicate or anything until she finds the body of Scorpion. Siphoning
some of his incredible power, Millena gains a sort of physical form,
she is able to make herself touchable at will, she vows revenge on Kahn,
for leaving her dead.

Ending:
     Millena's fury is unstoppable by anything Kahn throws at her,
she beats him with ease. But forever cursed as she is, Baraka
steps out of the shadows and destroys her psionic existence,
because she refused to share power with him. As he does this,
Baraka accidentally destroys the portal and with it the Earth.
Have a nice day.

*Ermac* By James Ayton (JAyton@aol.com)
     Originally disguised as a little error symbol
in MK to, Ermac and his Watchdog group has been
studying the strange ways of Liu Kang's Shaolin Temple.
He has attacked the temple while Liu Kang was in the
Tournament, and set it up to look like Shao Kahn had
done it.

MK 4:  Liu Kang was killed by Ermac and the watchdogs.

     The wife of Ermac, she vows revenge against
Ed Boon and John Tobias for taking him out of the game.
She is said to be nearly unstoppable, but EGM has a picture
of her, which undoubtably will be flashed all over the Internet.
And confuse everyone.

JADE (hidden character) By hal@seas.smu.edu

The well tanned ninja from MKto returns, with two goals: Kill some stuff
and find a great guy to settle down with, once Shao Kahn is defeated!

Ending:
Having beaten the crap out of everyone in sight, Jade finds her lust for
blood satisfied for the time being. She begins searching the Earth for the
perfect mate, and finally settles on a shy, lonely computer hacker who
attends classes at SMU (and plays too many video games). 

SKELETON (hidden character) By hal@seas.smu.edu

The skeleton hanging on the wall of Goro's lair in both MKI and MKII
finally decides to get in on the action! He (she? it?) frees itself and
prepares itself to stop Shao Kahn's reign of terror.

Ending:

Having beaten Shao Kahn, and restoring the people of earth, Skeleton
catches the eye of another good looking skeletal system...Spinal! The two
get married after a long and wild courtship, and retire to Goro's lair,
which for so long served as Skeleton's home! 

   A master of the deadliest martial arts known, Zazuka was selected
by Shao Kahn to train and command the mutants in the wastelands of the
Outworld.  Many of his students, including Baraka and Reptile, fought in
MK 2.  Now Shao Kahn has conquered the Earth realm and called upon his
disciple to train new legions of extermination squads... 

Ending:

   Zazuka was recruited during the early years of the Outworld's
decline when Shao Kahn still relied upon strength and skill to destroy his
enemies.  As his lust for power rages out of control, Kahn turns to
sorcery to rule the realm.  Zazuka has no respect for sorcerers, however,
and resolves to destroy the evil that has tarnished his honor and his
soul.  He enters the tournament and slays not only Motaro and Shao Kahn,
but most of his former students as well.  He then returns to the OutWorld
and pledges to serve Princess Kitana. 

   {I don't exactly know what Zazuka woud look like, but he would
probably be dressed in black and be armed with at least five different
weapons, including a sword, a sai, and a pair of nunchucks.  I would
refrain from making him into some kind of Outworld ninja, though.)


NAPALM mnk6718@tamucc.edu

Story:

   Major Kirk Matson was the director of an Army weapons development
facility when Shao Kahn arrived. He can only watch in horror as all of
his comrades die before his eyes.  Desperately seeking other survivors
in the city where his family had lived, he meets Kurtis Stryker.
Stryker has recently been visited by Raiden and he shares his vision
with Matson. Unable to find his family and pursued by Kahn's
extermination squads, Matson returns to his lab and begins to prepare
for the tournament.  He uses all of his skill and technology to graft
the most powerful weapons he can find onto his body.  He emerges from
his labortory to begin a quest for revenge.

Ending:

   Armed with the latest technology and a fierce hatred, Napalm enters
the tournament and destroys Kahn and his legions.  As Kahn dies beneath
the foot of Napalm, the souls that he claimed are released and the Earth
realm is restored.  Not all evil can be undone, however, and since Shao
Kahn had inhabited both realms, the souls that he stole are scattered
across the Earth and the Outworld.  Many evil things are released on
Earth and many innocent humans appear in the Outworld.  Unable to find
his family on Earth, the major can only conclude that they are trapped
in the Outworld.  In honor of his victory over Kahn, Raiden grants
Matson's plea and opens a portal.  Napalm disappears forever into the
realm of the Outworld.

   (We have a wide choice of weapons here, but I think a flamethrower is
definitely a necessity.  I would also add a small cansister full of
nerve gas that he could use on his opponents.  Perhaps that would
replace one of the combos in his arsenal.)



William Jefferson Clinton: The following are by kwings@ix.netcom.com
    He will randomly change the direction he is facing.

random.

to get relected.  So he beats Shao Kahn in the election for Overlord of the
Outworld, and runs it into the ground, and is killed by Kitana.

organization in the world, after B-B defeat his tough opponent, the U.N.
