For centuries Earth has used the tournament of mortal kombat to defend itself against the Outworld's Emperor, Shao Kahn. For the last nine tournaments Earth had been defeated by the deadly Outworlders, who dominated Mortal Kombat. For the rules were simple: Shao Kahn had but to win Ten consecutive tournaments in a row, and Earth and all that inhabited it would be his.....But Kahn grew furious after losing the tenth and most important tournament to the brave and determined Warriors of Earth, led by Rayden, the powerful god of thunder and lightning. Frustrated by his failed attempt to take Earth through tournament battle, he enacted a plan which began 10,000 years ago.
During that time Shao Kahn had a Queen named Sindel. Her precocious death was a mystery and unexpected. Kahn's Shadow Priests, led by Shang Tsung, made it so Sindels spirit would someday be reborn; not on the Outworld, but on the Earth Realm itself, establishing an arcane link between the Earth Realm and the Outerworld. A link Kahn new would grow stronger and stronger as Sindel's spirit blossomed in her Earthly body. Realizing that under Rayden's guidance, the Earthly Warriors would begin to dominate the tournaments of Mortal Kombat, Shao Kahn decides to use his little known wildcard. Sindels Spirit had become very powerful, and with it grew the mystical interdimensional link between the Outworld and the Earth...
Under the premise of reclaiming his Queen, he gained the power to step through the dimensional gates and , finally seize the Earth Realm. Upon breaching the portal into Earth, Shao Kahn slowly transformed the planet into part of the Outworld. He stripped the Earth of all human life claiming every soul as his own. But there were souls which Kahn could not take. These souls belonged to the Warriors chosen to represent Earth in a new Mortal Kombat. However, without direction from Rayden, their powers would be unfoucsed, and could easily be overcome. Knowing this, Shao Kahn sent an army of fierce Outworld warriors to find and eliminate them. Some of Earths Warriors survived the attacks. Most did not, but the remaining few hold the one chance to save all humanity and and be a part, willing or unwilling, of the most decisive Mortal Kombat of them all....
[The Playahs]
JAX: (Major Jackson Briggs) After failing to convince his superiors of the coming Outworld menace, Jax begins to covertly prepare for future battle with Kahn's minions. He outfits both arms with indestructible bionic implants.. This is a war Jax is prepared to win
KABAL: It is believed that he is the survivor of an attack by Shao Kahns extermination squads..As a result he is viciously scarred and kept alive by artificial respiration (uhh..see Darth Vader, 1980) and the rage for ending Shao Kahn's conquest
KANO: Thought to have been killed in the first Tournament, he's back.. Before the Outworld invasion , he convinces Shao Kahn to spare his Soul..Kahn needs someone to teach his new warriors how to use Earth's weapons, and Kano is the man to do it....
KUNG LAO : He won the last one....
LIU KANG: He's back and rather buffed now....
NIGHTWOLF: Some indian guy....
SEKTOR: The first of three prototype (fuck i gotta say it.. it's in the damn docs) Cybernetic Ninja's built by the Lin Kuei....He used to be a human assassin , but he volunteered to be turned into a machine because of his loyalty to the clan... He's also the red one....
SHANG TSUNG: Shao Kahn's lead sorcerer... all around bad guy...
SHEEVA: Hand picked by Shao Kahn to be Sindels protector ...She gets suspicious of Shao Kahn's loyalty towards her race when he puts Motaro as the leader of his extermination squad..On the Outworld, Motaro and Sheeva's races are natural enemys....(you'll hear sheeva reffered to as " The big bitch with four arms" alot...

SMOKE: The third prototype , Smoke has some corrupted files on hjs hard drive , if you know what i mean... he is not sure what his orders are...he just knows he's supposed to destroy something....looks cool tho.. he's the grey one
MOTARO: This is an unplayable character...he's sorta 1/3 tiger , 1/3 goat and 1/3 man i think.. looks mean as hell tho....
SHAO KAHN: Another unplayable character...This is the guy that started this whole mess...(see intro)
Mortal Kombat 3 is designed to run in a DOS enviroment....If your computer boots directly into
