Kung Lao is coming out of a restaurant when a woman approaches him and tells him there is a girl being tortured and he must hurry and help. When he gets there two women with black eye mask disguises are pushing a girl back and forth. Kung Lao manages to get the girl to the woman who summoned him, but the woman who summoned him worked for the other two girls, and she snaps her neck and they all try to fight Kung Lao. Siro and Taja appear and help Kung Lao and the girls run away. The girls are working for Quan Chi. Quan Chi sends the girls back to posion all three warriors. Taja loves to steal again, Siro is a drunken bastard, and Kung Lao is fuled with uncontrollable rage. The goal is to have Kung Lao dishonor himself so his soul would go to the Netherealm where Quan Chi would have control over it. Kung Lao fights Siro and almost kills him when he kicks him off the balcony of the trading post and Raiden appears. Raiden alerts Taja what is going on, and Raiden and Taja teleport to the temple of the monks, where Kung Lao is getting ready to kill one. Raiden stops him just in time and Quan Chi appears. Quan Chi fights Kung Lao but when Kung Lao is not being defeated, Quan Chi is puzzled. Raiden informs him, that Kung Lao did not dishonor himself, he intervened, and Quan Chi is pissed off and leaves at once knowing there is no point for him to remain in Earthrealm any longer.
