Bob Carter: Shao Kahn • Baraka

Mortal Kombat

Shao Kahn • Baraka

Sub-Zero: [Stepping before Shao Kahn] Shao Kahn, I challenge Scorpion: The murderer of by brother. You will bring him before me.
Shang Tsung: No one makes demands of the Emperor. Reptile.
[Reptile comes in and fights Sub-Zero, who defeats him]
Sub-Zero: [Upon defeating Reptile] I would kill you. But that is not my purpose here.
[Turns to Shao Kahn again]
Sub-Zero: Your followers hold you in high esteem, warlord. They fight and die for your amusement. My brother participated in this folley. I do so only to face his killer.
Shao Kahn: And you shall.
[Quan Chi summons Scorpion]
Scorpion: What is this? You are not Sub-Zero.
Sub-Zero: I am his family and clan. I fight for his honor.
Scorpion: He *had* no honor, and you will die as he did.

Kung Lao: [after celebrating after his victories with the Outworld audience booing him] See Raiden, Earthrealm is fre...
[Shao Kahn steps in and breaks Kung Lao's neck]
Raiden: Kung Lao!
Liu Kang: No!
Raiden: I will rip the flesh from your bones!
[Liu Kang comes in and wrestles Kahn to the ground]
Shao Kahn: Witless boy. Do you know who I am?
Liu Kang: The murderer of my friend.
Shao Kahn: I am Shao Kahn! Conquorer of worlds! You will taste no victory.
Liu Kang: You will taste your won blood.
[Fights Kahn and defeats him]
Liu Kang: On your feet!
[His left fist glows with fire]
Liu Kang: For Kung Lao, the Shaolin and Earthrealm!
[Liu Kang then punches Kahn in the chest and Kahn falls to the ground dead]
Shang Tsung: I can not believe. Earthrealm has won.
[the sky then glows]
Raiden: The Elder Gods have spoken. Earthrealm is free from Shao Kahn forever. But the price of victory was almost too steep to pay. Kung Lao's death was my fault. I encouraged him. Our triumph was not meant to be achieved this way.
[to Liu Kang]
Raiden: I see now "he must win" must refer to you. But to prevent Armageddon, you needed to defeat Shao Kahn, not Shang Tsung.
[Raiden then takes off his amulet to look at it, only to find it cracks further]
Raiden: It can not be. Shao Kahn is dead. But the future remains unchanged.

Shao Kahn: [after losing the tournament] You failed me! 500 years I have waited. Now I must wait 500 more.
Shang Tsung: My lord, all is not lost.
Shao Kahn: [Walks back to his thrown] Curse the Elder Gods and their tournament. I should've taken Earthrealm by force. But, I am bound by their rules. Rules that can not be broken.
Shang Tsung: My lord.
Shao Kahn: Kill him.
[Kitana gets out her fans and is about to kill Shang Tsung]
Shang Tsung: But, what if the rules were changed?
Shao Kahn: Kitana.
[Signals to hold off killing Shang Tsung]
Shao Kahn: Continue.
