Quotes 

• Liu Kang : What does it mean to wield the Sands of Time? To be the Chosen One? It means making choices that break your heart. For the protection of all, I shared Kronika's power with the people I trust and loved most. Together we replace the Elder Gods that Cetrion had betrayed... and became eternal guardians of the realms. Still... My heart longs for a simple life. The kind one cannot have being the Chosen One, let alone an Elder God. What Kitana and I would not give for those simple pleasures. Perhaps in another timeline, they could be ours.

• Raiden : Who sent you here, Scorpion?

  Scorpion : My future self is dead. I am here at his behest.

  Liu Kang : Grandmaster Hasashi sent you?

  Scorpion : I honor his dying wish. Kharon will ferry your armies to the Isle of Kronika. We must leave at once.

  Raiden : Do you have proof of Kharon's offer?

  Scorpion : Only my word.

  Raiden : Your word is worthless! At the tournament, I trusted you to spare Bi-Han, and you betrayed me!

  Scorpion : A mistake born of rage. I seek redemption.

  Raiden : Lies, Scorpion! You are a slave! And Kronika is your master!

• Raiden : [Using Shinnok's amulet on Past Scorpion]  Now, Scorpion! The truth!

  Liu Kang : Raiden, stop this!

  Raiden : Step aside, Liu Kang.

  Liu Kang : Put down the amulet! Its darkness is taking hold of you!

  Raiden : [Attacks Liu Kang with Shinnok's amulet]  Our time has run out! I do what I must to save Earthrealm! Stay down!

  Liu Kang : This is not the way! Scorpion is not the enemy this time!

  Raiden : Liu Kang, do not interfere!

  [Raiden and Liu Kang fight; Raiden wins] 

  Raiden : Do not force my hand, Liu Kang! The realms hang in the balance! To defend them, I must command order!

  Liu Kang : I thought it impossible, but the Revenants were right. You cannot be trusted!

  Raiden : I do not need trust! I DEMAND OBEDIENCE!

  [His lightning turns red] 

  Liu Kang : Enough of your madness. If you must die, so be it.

  Raiden : [Raiden stops; his red lightning fades back to blue]  This... this has happened before...

• Jax : Dammit, Fujin, you know what I've suffered! Kronika's my one chance to prevent all that! Not just for me, but for Jacqui. For Vera.

  [pause] 

  Jax : Shit. You're a god. Ain't no way you get how this feels.

  Fujin : You know the only time Raiden and I ever fought? When I left the Sky Temple to live among humans. "Do not become attached to them, Fujin. Sentiment will impede the execution of your duty." But warriors like you and I... we are strengthened by sentiment. We do not fight to kill enemies. We fight to protect our loved ones. That is why it cuts so deeply when we fail.

  Jax : Well, I'll be. Maybe you do get it.

• Cassie Cage : You said it would be easy, Fujin.

  Fujin : Did you think we would come and go like the wind?

  Cassie Cage : Yes, I thought that was your whole damned point!

• Mileena : I fooled you completely, Liu Kang.

  Liu Kang : No. Not for one minute.

  Mileena : [imitating Kitana]  Help me, Liu Kang! Help me!

• Fujin : Brother, it is past time we talked.

  Raiden : Is that what this is? Talking?

  Fujin : As I said, it is past time.

• Fujin : I must ask, sorcerer... How long before you betray us?

  Shang Tsung : I find your lack of faith amusing.

  Fujin : When it happens, we will be ready.

• Johnny Cage : Yeah, Fatal Infinity wasn't my best work.

  Fujin : Were you not focused, Johnny?

  Johnny Cage : I was three sheets to the wind.

• Liu Kang : [Aftermath Story DLC - Liu Kang's ending] 

  [Fire God Liu Kang appears before The Great Kung Lao, surprising him] 

  Liu Kang : Kung Lao.

  Kung Lao : Where did you- Who? Who are you?

  Liu Kang : I am Lord Liu Kang, God of Thunder and Fire.

  Kung Lao : God of...

  [Suddenly bows in respect; Liu Kang returns the bow] 

  Kung Lao : Forgive my disrespect, my Lord.

  Liu Kang : Enough, Kung Lao. You are humble. Not like the Kung Lao I knew.

  Kung Lao : The Kung Lao you knew?

  Liu Kang : A story for another time. I have chosen you as my champion, Kung Lao. We have work to do. You must be prepared. Trained.

  Kung Lao : Trained? For what?

• Raiden : [Blasts Shang Tsung with Shinnok's amulet]  Now, Shang Tsung! The truth!

  Liu Kang : Raiden, stop this!

  Raiden : Step aside, Liu Kang.

  Liu Kang : Put down the amulet! Its darkness is taking hold of you!

  Raiden : [Blasts Liu Kang with the amulet]  You also betray me!

  Liu Kang : This is not the way! Shang Tsung is not the enemy this time!

  Raiden : [Before he can blast Liu Kang again, Fujin interferes]  The Realms hang in the balance and you form this unholy alliance?

  [Raiden's lightning turns red] 

  Raiden : Enough of this madness! If you both must die, so be it!

• Liu Kang : Taking you down will be easy.

  The Terminator : I will not cease functioning.

  Liu Kang : Do not make me finish you.

• RoboCop - Aftermath DLC : I do not know whom I can trust here.

  Fujin : You may start with me, Alex Murphy.

  RoboCop - Aftermath DLC : How do you know my name?

• [the prisoners realize themselves. The Sands of Time bring Skarlet, Erron Black, Baraka, original bald Kano and the ruler of the Netherrealm itself - Shao Kahn. On the other side appears Kitana, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Jade and Raiden] 

  Kotal Kahn : Raiden? Shao Kahn?

  Shao Kahn : General Kotal?

  Kotal Kahn : Kotal Kahn.

  Shao Kahn : Kahn? Pathetic fool. You pretend to my throne!

  Kotal Kahn : It is mine, by right and deed. You were killed, long ago. As was your repugnant spawn, Mileena.

  Raiden : We were at the Mortal Kombat tournament. Kung Lao had just defeated Shang Tsung and Quan Chi.

  Kotal Kahn : We are decades beyond those events.

  Raiden : For us, they happened only moments ago.

  Shao Kahn : What game are you playing, Raiden? What magic powers this delusion?

  Raiden : If it is a delusion, it is one we all share. Is it possible that the past and future are colliding?

  Kotal Kahn : Kitana, Baraka, Skarlet, all Outworld champions long since gone. If you have all returned, has...?

  Jade : I am here, Kotal.

  Kotal Kahn : Jade.

  [Shao Kahn pushes Jade behind] 

  Kotal Kahn : Osh-Tekk custom requires all refugees be offered assistance. I offer it to you, Shao Kahn...

  Shao Kahn : I am no refugee! I am Kahn of Outworld. Vacate my throne. Or I'll soak these sands with your blood!

  [They have a fight] 

  Liu Kang : Lord Raiden? What do we do?

  Raiden : I have not met Kotal. But he is reputed to be a man of honor.

  Jade : It's true. I know him well.

  Raiden : Then we must navigate this crisis by aiding him.

  Baraka : Stupid Osh-Tekk. Destroying your future, crossing Shao Kahn.

  Kotal Kahn : It is you with no future, Baraka. Your Tarkatans are dead.

  Baraka : Impossible!

  Kotal Kahn : They allied with Mileena against me. Persist, and you will die again.

• Kotal Kahn : Kotal Kahn: You are Kahn no more.

  [a cloud of flies appears in the sky. Flies restrain the fighters and Kotal himself. Di'vorah appears from the portal] 

  Kotal Kahn : D'Vorah.

  D'Vorah : Shao Kahn! To me!

  [Shao Kahn and his army leaves] 

  Kotal Kahn : I have not known stranger days.

  Raiden : Kotal Kahn. I am Raiden, Protector of Earthrealm.

  Kotal Kahn : I know you.

  Raiden : We are acquainted in your era?

  Kotal Kahn : We were allies who became enemies.

  Raiden : I am surprised, given our shared antipathy toward Shao Kahn.

  Kotal Kahn : Everything changed after your defeat of Shinnok.

  Liu Kang : Shinnok's defeated?

  Kotal Kahn : Our realms joined to fight him. But in victory, you were hardened. To protect Earthrealm, you lashed out at all realms you deemed threats.

  Raiden : That cannot be.

  Kotal Kahn : My Raiden wears Shinnok's Amulet as a symbol of his fury.

  Raiden : Be assured, Kotal Kahn. I am not that Raiden. We have common cause. Both in solving this temporal crisis, and in defeating Shao Kahn.

  Kotal Kahn : Agreed.

  Raiden : Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and I will return to Earthrealm and learn what temporal anomalies have occurred there. We must better understand the phenomenon we are experiencing.

  Kotal Kahn : I will have my scouts track Shao Kahn.

  Liu Kang : So, this is goodbye.

  Kitana : Only goodbye for now. I can't leave while Shao Kahn threatens Outworld. I must seek justice for what he did to my family, and to all Edenia.

  Liu Kang : I will come back for you. To aid you, Princess.

  [Kitana hugs him. Raiden, Liu Kang and Kung Lao leaves. Meanwhile in Shao Kahn's hideout] 

  Shao Kahn : You evade my questions, D'Vorah. I routed your people. Burned this hive. Yet you aid me.

  Kollector : We can't trust her, Excellency. Kotal Kahn did, and she betrayed him to Shinnok.

  Shao Kahn : Kotal "Kahn" How is it I'm dead and he sits on my throne?

  Kollector : You tried merging Earthrealm into Outworld. The Elder Gods Intervened, and Raiden killed you. That's when Mileena became Kahn.

  D'Vorah : After This One killed your daughter, Kotal claimed the throne.

  Shao Kahn : You killed Mileena? If this is true, you will die!

  Kronika : [Kronika and her servants appears]  D'Vorah is under my protection, Shao Kahn. As are you. I am Kronika.

  Shao Kahn : The legends are true?

  Kronika : I am displeased with how history has unfolded.

  Shao Kahn : So you broke time?

  Kronika : I stopped time. I enlist all those who disdain the current course of history. By merging past and present, we may draw upon allies from both eras.

  Shao Kahn : How will fighting your battles benefit me?

  Kronika : I offer a greater empire in the New Era, Shao Kahn. Raiden will not exist to thwart you.

  Shao Kahn : You can wipe Raiden from history?

  Kronika : It is an immense task, requiring great power and effort. My Hourglass requires protection while I work. Will your Outworld armies defend it?

  Shao Kahn : They shall.

• Liu Kang : Are we the Deadly Alliance?

  Raiden : That is Kronika's Deception.

  Liu Kang : Or a recipe for Armageddon.

• Liu Kang : I guess you knew it would end this way.

  Raiden : I did not have a clue.

  Liu Kang : Never change, Lord Raiden.

• Johnny Cage : I admire Sonya's strategic mind.

  Liu Kang : It's not her mind you're admiring.

  Johnny Cage : It's true.

• Jade : [entering The Dead Pool after Sheeva had just beaten Baraka and Present Erron Black]  What in Argus' name is happening out here?

  [sees Shang Tsung] 

  Jade : Shang Tsung! I thought I saw you slither away from the Koliseum.

  Shang Tsung : You always were perceptive.

  Sheeva : We had no wish to fight, Jade. This is Sindel's revenant. We can restore her to life so she can join the fight against Kronika.

  Fujin : Please, Jade. We must enter.

  Jade : You have yet to convince me. Even if you do, the Soul Chamber is occupied. Kotal uses it to mend his broken spine. Disrupting him now could leave his injuries permanent.

  Shang Tsung : I promise, we will not disturb him.

  Jade : Your promises are empty, sorcerer!

  Sheeva : We will not harm Kotal. As my ally, you should trust me.

  [Jade gets into her fighting stance] 

  Sheeva : So much for Edenian loyalty.

• Sheeva : [Fujin, Nightwolf, and Shang Tsung have just explained their plan to resurrect Sindel]  We must present this to Kitana Kahn.

  Fujin : Respectfully, Your Highness, if we approach Kitana...

  Nightwolf : She'll cut Shang Tsung's head off.

  Shang Tsung : Kitana never appreciated my contributions to the empire.

  Nightwolf : Like replacing her with an evil clone?

  Shang Tsung : Yes.

• Fujin : [after Shang Tsung teleports Geras away]  Where did you send him?

  Shang Tsung : Chaosrealm. Havik will keep him entertained.

• Shang Tsung : [Aftermath Story DLC - Shang Tsung's Ending] 

  [Shang Tsung grabs a defeated Fire God Liu Kang by the throat] 

  Shang Tsung : Breath deeply in your final moments, Chosen One. For now your existence ends in shame! All the power that was once yours is mine... Forever.

  [absorbs Liu Kang's soul; moves on to sculpt The Sands of Time] 

  Shang Tsung : [Crossfade to Shang Tsung's New Era; Dark Raiden and Fujin appear before Shang Tsung]  Speak, minions.

  Raiden : My Lord, your will is done.

  Fujin : Outworld, Earthrealm, the Netherrealm... all are conquered.

  Raiden : Per your command, Chaosrealm and Orderrealm are next. All realms will soon yield to your influence.

  Shang Tsung : [grinning]  It has begun.

• Kitana : Remember the first time we met?

  Liu Kang : [chuckles]  You tried to kill me.

  Kitana : Let's recreate that scene.

• Fujin : As the new Keeper of Time, I was overwhelmed by my responsibilities. Who was I to design the destinies of mortals? As their protector, I had spent eons safeguarding them. But while I had grown to appreciate mortals deeply, I understood precious little about their daily existence. So, I used the Hourglass to live hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. They spanned the possibilities of realm, race, gender, and faith. Most importantly, I learned the simple joy of ending each day in the warm embrace of family. Humbled by my new wisdom, I bend the arc of history not to my will, but to the service of those who must live it. While it is beyond my power to guarantee outcomes, I will give mortals the chance to have better, more peaceful lives.
