  Madame Bo : The realms can be fierce, bitter rivals. That's why we need champions to defend ours.

  Liu Kang : The time draws near for the grand martial arts tournament between Earthrealm and the realm of Outworld. Held once each century, it allows each realm to demonstrate its strength. While our realms are at peace, there are Outworlders who would prefer us to be at war. Our victory in the tournament will... temper their zeal.
