History
The history of Mortal Kombat is developed in a fictional world where two kingdoms, Earth and Outworld, are in constant conflict. Every five years held a tournament called Mortal Kombat where ten wrestlers of each kingdom are facing death to determine the winner. If Outworld win ten tournaments in a row, you will be able to invade Earth and enslave its population.
In the year 1992, the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung in Outworld has won the past nine tournaments of Mortal Kombat, leaving the Earth on the brink of defeat. Shang Tsung is not only a skilled fighter, but also has the power to steal souls, which has allowed him to maintain his youth and power over the years.
Liu Kang, a young monk shaolin, is chosen to represent Earth in the next tournament. Accompanied by his fellow Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Kanó, Liu Kang travels to the mysterious island where they celebrate the Mortal Kombat, with the hope of defeating Shang Tsung and saving his kingdom.
In the tournament, Liu Kang faces a number of warriors of Outworld, including the ninja Sub-Zero, the sorcerer's Raiden, and the monstrous Goro. Each battle is a test of strength, skill and will, where victory means survival and defeat death.
After defeating all his opponents, Liu Kang confronts Shang Tsung in a final battle. The fight is fierce and balanced, but in the end, Liu Kang emerges victorious, defeating the witch and breaking their winning streak.
With the defeat of Shang Tsung, Outworld loses the tournament and the Earth is saved from invasion. Liu Kang becomes a hero, and peace returns to both kingdoms, at least for a time.
The history of Mortal Kombat 1 ends with the victory of the Earth and the hope of a peaceful future. However, this final epic only marks the beginning of a saga full of new tournaments, dangerous enemies and epic battles that will define the fate of both kingdoms.
