Mortal
Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is a game from the Mortal Kombat fighting
game series. It featured the original Sub-Zero in an adventure to
defeat Quan Chi from retrieving an amulet that would free the fallen
Elder God Shinnok. Although released five years after the first Mortal
Kombat game, the storyline in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero dates
back furthest chronologically, even before the first game. This was
done to further expand elements on the existing storyline, especially
concerning Quan Chi, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Shinnok, and the Lin Kuei.
Thousands
of years ago, Shinnok existed as an Elder God. The Elder Gods are the
true rulers of all realms. They watch as worlds are created and
destroyed and govern the realms with untold eons of wisdom. Shinnok,
however, gave in to greed and illusions of false power through the new
realm of Earth. If he could have that realm to himself, he would have
power unmatched. To accomplish his goal, he first would have to face
the god of thunder known as Raiden, who was appointed as Earth's
guardian by the Elder Gods themselves. Their battle for the realm of
Earth was fierce; causing the planet's near destruction and plunging it
into centuries of darkness.
