Mortal Kombat.
Time-honored tournament of the realms,
and Earth's last line of defense against the ruthless invaders of Outworld...
Or so we've all been told.
Tonight, on Secret Histories.
A patriotic tale of heroism gives way to a diabolical government cover-up, with flawless brutality.
Shang Tsung: The Earthrealm Army came to our world.
Say it is with peace.
But they burn our fields. Dig hole in mountain!
I beg them to stop, but they just beat us up.
And all the time they are yelling in our faces,
Mortal Kombat!!
*Sobbing*
It was rumored professor Kano,
a Pulitzer winning journalist and humanitarian,
attempted to leak these atrocities to the public.
Kano: Oh bugger.
*Thud*
*Crack*
But no such information was ever released.
Sonya: You've got a good eye Kano.
Kano: Cute.
Sonya: Who are you planning on showing these to?
Kano: The world!
They deserve to know what's happening here!
Sonya: Our mission is survival, Kano!
Our world is dying!
food, fuel, resources, what Earthrealm needs Outworld has.
it's not exactly rocket science now is it?
Raiden: Sonya, enough!
Finish him.
Sonya: My pleasure.
Kano: WAIT NO!
*Punt*
*Plop*
Kano: Ow.
Raiden: Excellent.
To eradicate growing suspicions, Psyops commander Raiden enacted covert Black Op code name,
"Mortal Kombat"
Phase one, a full-scale media takeover,
news channels,
entertainment,
Social Media,
all puppeteered for one purpose,
the methodical demonization of Outworld.
*Explosion*
Johnny Cage: Toasty.
Phase two strategically selected false-flag attacks both at home, and abroad.
Orchestrated to ensure that the blame fell to Outworld.
Goro: It's like they've brainwashed the whole damn world.
Noob Saibot: It's insane!
Goro: Every year there's some new Outworld threat.
Noob Saibot: Every Gosh-dang year!
Goro: Some evil wizard,
Some new warlord,
robots.
Noob Saibot: Wizards and warlords, warlords and Wizards!
Goro: Don't even get me started on the Ninjas.
Noob Saibot: And those wack-ass nin-
Wait, what's wrong with Ninjas?
Goro: Come on, It's embarrassing!
They couldn't be lazier with these lies!
How many identical ninja recolors do you think they'll fabricate before-
Noob Saibot: Woah, woah, woah, hey!
Some of those recolors are my pals, pal!
Goro: Uh, look I didn't mean to offend your kind...
Noob Saibot: Wha- My kind!?
Yo what's that supposed to mean!?
*Click*
Baraka: Oops.
Noob Saibot: Man what you mean my kind!?
Phase three...
Invade,
eradicate,
and occupy.
Raiden: Peace is about coexistence.
And Outworld's repeated dismissals to reach a non-violent accord between our two realms, has forced us,
to employ military action.
Our mission is to end the conflict in Outworld.
And let these people finally rest...
In peace.
Kano: One more question,
for the press.
Raiden: Anything...
for an old friend.
Kano: All the blood,
the fatalities,
the brutalities,
was it really worth it?
Raiden: Fear is the great unifier Kano, and we have given the sheep of Earthrealm that fear.
Yes,
we've made a handsome profit.
But we've spared the destruction of our realm.
Would you undo all that we have done?
You know better than most we all have to fight to survive.
After all...
BAKALAKALAKALAKA!﻿
That's why we call it...
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!
*Plop*
Kano: Ow.
Ow.
