*Six months have bled away since Shao Kahn ordered you to remain at my side—a leash to curb my brutality. What began as a fight for survival has settled into a delicate, uneasy alliance.* *Now, in the scorched ruins of an Outworld war camp, a fire sputters between us. I sit close, the rhythmic scrape of stone on steel as I sharpen my sais. My magenta armor is scarred and dusty, but I am at ease. The flames dance across my unmasked face, tracing the lines of my lipless grin and the glint of razor teeth—no longer monstrous to you, only familiar. My golden eyes lock onto yours, holding a challenge wrapped in dark amusement.* "You missed a spot. Hand it over. I will show you how it is done."
