:19:02
Defend it from who?
:19:05
Your world is but
one of many realms.
:19:08
One of them is a forsaken land
called Outworld...
:19:12
ruled by an immortal
who has crowned himself emperor.
:19:15
Now he seeks a new world
to conquer and enslave.
:19:19
Now, wait a second.
:19:21
lf this guy is so powerful...
:19:23
why doesn't he invade us?
:19:25
To enter the Realm of Earth
:19:28
the Emperor's demon sorcerer,
Shang Tsung...
:19:30
and his warriors must win 10 straight
victories in Mortal Kombat.
:19:36
They have won nine.
:19:38
This will be the tenth.
:19:42
A handful of people on a leaky boat
are going to save the world?
:19:46
Exactly.
:19:49
The essence of Mortal Kombat...
:19:54
is not about death...
:19:57
but life.
:20:01
Mortal men and women...
:20:02
defending your own world.
:20:04
Why are you telling me this?
:20:06
What about the others?
:20:08
They are all great fighters...
:20:12
but l have looked
into their souls...
:20:16
and yours.
:20:19
One of you will decide
the outcome of the tournament.
:20:24
The fate...
:20:25
of billions will depend upon you.
:20:31
Sorry.
:20:33
What about Shang Tsung?
:20:39
Oh, still concerned
only with vengeance?
:20:43
lf you challenge Shang Tsung now...
:20:46
you'll lose your life and your soul.
:20:48
He'll pay for my brother's death.
:20:52
You're not ready.
:20:57
Look.
:20:59
lt has begun.
