Just when the earth warriors think that their work is done, Nightwolf contacts Liu Kang to inform him that another rift has been found. Along with his undead soldiers, Scorpion is sent back to the realm of lost souls. Sub-Zero almost throws Scorpion from the top of Shang Tsung's tomb until Liu reminds him that, without honor, he would be no better than his brother. Liu Kang defeats Scorpion in Mortal Kombat with help from Sub-Zero.

Sub-Zero entrusts Liu Kang with the task of defeat Scorpion because he believes that he could've defeated his brother without the help Kitana gave him. Sub-Zero's anger gets the better of him, though, and he is quickly subdued. Sub-Zero charges after Scorpion, who reveals his intention to resurrect Shang Tsung. It is also the resting place of the sorcerer Shang Tsung.

Eventually, the Earth warriors find themselves in a tomb built for Outworld's most evil of warriors. The warriors follow Scorpion to Outworld and find themselves in danger of alerting Shao Kahn to their presence. Drawing on the powers of darkness, Scorpion, an undead warrior who was denied entrance to the realm of honored dead and banished to the realm of lost souls, has amassed a force of undead warriors and seeks to continue increasing his force with undead warriors from all the realms.
