## Background

    After failing to win the Mortal Kombat tournament, Shang Tsung and his warriors returned to Outworld in disgrace. With Outworld's winning streak broken, Shao Kahn's forces would have to start over and win another ten tournaments over a 500-year period if Kahn was to be allowed to dominate Earthrealm. Shang Tsung would have been executed, but as he begged for his life he convinced the emperor that there was still a way to salvage victory: Outworld could host a new tournament, one which would discard the ten-victory rule established by the Elder Gods and allow Shao Kahn to claim Earthrealm with a single victory. But should Outworld lose this contest, Shao Kahn's claim to Earthrealm would be rendered void forever.

To ensure that the Earthrealmers would partake in the tournament, Shang Tsung arranged for a band of Tarkatan marauders to enter Earthrealm and attack the temples of the White Lotus Society. He also had Special Forces agent Sonya Blade and the Black Dragon thug Kano abducted and imprisoned in Outworld. These brazen assaults goaded the thunder god Raiden into accepting Outworld's invitation, and so Mortal Kombat began anew.

The battles were hard and brutal, but Earthrealm's champions succeeded in reaching the final tier of the tournament. It was then that Liu Kang, champion of Mortal Kombat, faced Shao Kahn himself and ultimately defeated him. The enraged emperor, refusing to take defeat lightly, commanded his forces to attack and exterminate the Earthrealm fighters. Raiden and his warriors retreated back to Earthrealm, but the true struggle was just on the horizon. While the Earth kombatants had been occupied with the Outworld tournament, Shang Tsung's Shadow Priests had conducted an unholy ritual to resurrect Shao Kahn's long-dead queen, Sindel. The spell brought Sindel back to life on Earth, and her presence there would allow Shao Kahn to step through the portal to Earth in order to claim her. But when Kahn set foot on Earth, he would bring his armies with him and begin his conquest of the planet.

## The Invasion

Knowing that they were Earth's only hope of salvation, and that their lives can still be lost, the Earthrealm Warriors gathered at Nightwolf's camp where they received instructions by Raiden before he faded out of existence as his presence cannot exist under Outworld's rule. After laying out a plan, the warriors set out for New York City where Kahn's fortress emerged while simultaneously dodging Motaro's extermination squads hired to eliminate them.

Later, the group was ambushed by the cyborg ninjas who were sent to kill Sub-Zero but due to the arrival of Scorpion, who still served as Sub-Zero's guardian, the cyborgs were defeated with Sektor defeated and Cyrax reprogrammed to attack the Outworld force. With Smoke's memories restored, and Sektor presumably destroyed, the Forces of Light finally arrived at New York and did final battle with Kahn's forces.

With Scorpion and Smoke a part of the team, the Earth Warriors finally arrived at New York and did final battle with Kahn's forces. The group was confronted by Sindel, who one by one defeated the Earthrealm warriors, but was defeated by Kitana, who liberated her from Kahn's control. Smoke was captured by Kahn's forces. Kano and Sonya fought at a skyscraper near Kahn's fortress, Kano gained the upper hand, and kicked Sonya onto a stone gargoyle. Sonya feigned defeat, but when Kano advanced to finish Sonya off, grabbing her by the hair, she hurled Kano off of the roof to his apparent death, taking a lock of her hair with him. Kano was saved by Motaro, who brought him to Shang Tsung, but Motaro was defeated by Sheeva.

Kung Lao and Liu Kang headed to Shao Kahn's Fortress to confront Shao Kahn once and for all. During the final battle, Liu Kang defeated Shang Tsung, while Kung Lao fought against Shao Kahn. Liu Kang witnessed Kung Lao's apparent death by Shao Kahn and attacked the emperor. An epic battle was waged between the two and Liu Kang defeated him once again, ending the invasion and sending him back to Outworld in a weakened state.

The battle finally ended with Kahn's defeat and retreat and Earthrealm restored to its former self but not without its casualties: Kung Lao was presumably killed and Smoke was captured by Outworld soldiers. But the battle turned out its benefits as Sindel was liberated from Kahn's powers by Kitana,

With Shao Kahn defeated, the Earthrealm invasion was thwarted. With Kahn's defeat, Sindel managed to free Edenia from Outworld by destroying the orb that connected her realm with Outworld and vowed not only to rebuild their home, but to also bring down Shao Kahn for his many crimes. Sonya and Jax were given the authority of their government to form the Outerworld Investigation Agency, and the population now became fully aware of external threats from within.
