Following the defeat of Shao Kahn, Shinnok attacks Earth with his army of Netherrealm forces, including the resurrected Earthrealm warriors who were killed during Kahn's invasion and are now under Quan Chi's control. After fighting and freeing their former comrades, a strike team led by Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, and Kenshi open a portal to the Jinsei Chamber, the source of Earthrealm's life force, where Raiden and Fujin are battling Shinnok. They distract Shinnok long enough for Raiden to steal Shinnok's amulet and imprison him inside it, but Quan Chi manages to escape. While introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil that tie the tale together the story place emphasis on aged veterans, new characters, and the next-generation offspring of the previous fighters.
Kotal Kahn is sitting with his minister, D'Vorah and Kano, who is willing to sell out the location of the rebel leader, Mileena, for a great deal of gold. While Kotal and Kano haggle over price, D'Vorah leaves to help clear an overturn carriage blocking the party. Meanwhile, Mileena is on the rooftop with her lieutenants Tanya and Rain, where they discuss their plan to ambush and murder Kotal. Back in the carriage, Kano attacks, revealing Mileena paid him well to eliminate him. Kotal escapes the carriage and defeats Kano, but is soon stopped by Tanya. She works with Mileena because, once Mileena regains her throne, she will restore Edenia. Kotal defeats Tanya and attempts to make his next move on Mileena. Rain traps him in a water bubble, but Kahn's power destroys it. Kotal defeats Rain and attempts to finish him off, but Mileena uses her secret weapon, Shinnok's amulet, and its dark energy obliterates Kotal's followers. Kotal manages to fight it off and defeat Mileena, but Rain teleports the rebel leader away.
