Mortal Kombat: Conquest

Reluctant warrior Kung Lao wants to resume his old life after saving the Earth from Outworld warrior Shang Tsung. But circumstances - including his fateful decision to spare his opponent's life - force him to make a difficult choice. First of a two-part episode.

Taja and Jen conspire to free a condemned Kung Lao from the Baron's gallows, and Scorpion possesses the body of Jen's new bodyguard.

Kung Lao, Siro and Taja must prevent Shang Tsung from acquiring a powerful crystal that allows inter-realm travel.

When Shang Tsung's sorcery prematurely ages Siro and Taja, Kung Lao risks all of the Earth realm to save them.

Kung Lao tries to preserve an almost extinct race from being consumed. The Edenian Essence is the last hope of the Edenian race, long conquered by Shao Kahn, who now wants to claim this final victory.

Siro's embarrassment over being rescued by Kung Lao leads him to Kiri, a seer who promises to make him a great warrior. But Kiri uses Siro to free an underworld warrior, whom he then sends to kill Kung Lao.
