Ninja Syndrome FAQ
Classic Sub-Zero



While fighting in the first Mortal Kombat tournament, I stumbled through a portal that transported me to the time of Armageddon. It intrigues me to see how much has changed. I have heard that my brother now leads the Lin Kuei. I hope he doesn't screw it up too much.



After winning his final battle, Sub-Zero walked away from the tournament. He was very dissapointed that his Lin Kuei and the name of Sub-Zero were now a shell of their former selves because of his younger brother's leadership. Mostly that weird polar bear thing, though. He arrived at the time portal to return to the first Mortal Kombat tournament when he was met by a mysterious stranger.



NOOB SAIBOT: "Before you go back, I have information for you."

SUB-ZERO: "Make it quick. I'm really pissed at this new Sub-Zero. I'm so angry I could just rip him in half."

NOOB SAIBOT: "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that when you return, you will die. The good news is that it actually turns out pretty well in the end."

With that the shadow vanished into the night, leaving Sub-Zero to reflect on the words and go back to his own time.



SUB-ZERO: "That was strange. However, I will avoid death. I will survive to the times of Armageddon and make sure the Lin Kuei will still be the ruthless clan they were known for. Still that shadow seemed familiar. Now that I think of it, he did sorta sound like me. And the mention of becoming a undead soul."



SUB-ZERO: "Hey, you know what? I think that actually was..."

Scorpion



My vengance has been directed towards many. First it was Sub-Zero, then it was his brother. As of late it has been Quan Chi. However, I now search for a definite answer of the one responsible for the death of my family and ninja clan.



In the first tournament, he quenched his thirst for vengeance against the original Sub-Zero.



Then, he vowed to protect the new Sub-Zero at the second and third tournaments. However he changed his ways at the fourth tournament and pursued this Sub-Zero...



...until he found out that Quan Chi may have been the one responsible.



After working for the Elder Gods, who eventually double crossed him, and chasing Quan Chi he was confused on who was really responsible. Looking for the truth, he learned that the Midway guys...



were uploading biographies online every couple of weeks. Using the winnings from the tournament, he bought himself a computer and checked all the websites for the next few months. Unfortunately for Scorpion...



...Midway also got it wrong, and put the blame on the wrong guy. Scorpion was still destined to be on a wild goose chase for eternity!

Mileena



It turns out my plan of deception worked out so well, they even named a Mortal Kombat game after it. I shall continue this, and we will bear witness to the reign of Mil...errr Kitana!



Continuing her deception, Mileena, still claiming she was Kitana, announced that she would retake the Outworld throne.

MILEENA: "I massacred all enemies. I feast on their flesh and bones! Death to all!"

AUDIENCE: "You know, that doesn't sound like the old Kitana."



GENE: "That was a great final match. Let's take another look at it. Now Sub-Zero is about to attack when... Wait a minute. That life bar doesn't say Kitana. It says Mileena!"



AUDIENCE: "Get her!"

MILEENA: "Uh-oh!"

Kitana



With Shao Khan defeated, I now have to deal with Mileena's deception. Then after I get my kingdom back, I need to do some public relations work. Edenia will one day be known as the new popular tourist location instead of a wasteland of deathtraps.



After the tournament, Kitana retook the kingdom of Edenia. She then ordered a massive restoration of all that Shao Khan destroyed.



Soon, the dreary lands were replaced by new tourist attractions. The Edenian government launched an ad campaign to get many visitors.



However, the Outworld renovation was incomplete. There were many complaints of dangers that still existed and deathtraps that were still active. Kitana's dream had become a public relations nightmare!

Ermac



We are Ermac. We are the fusion of many dead souls. However, very soon, we will be no longer joined. When we separate, we will be an army and our true purpose will begin.



As the fusion of souls known as Ermac stood in victory. They started to disperse into individual souls. Ermac was no longer an individual, he was now an army. Each warrior then traveled...



...to all the other video games ever made.



Ermac sightings were at an all time high.



They attacked all the other video game heroes.



What once was a rumor, was now all too real.

Reptile



After that whole turning into Onaga mess, it sure is swell that Shao Khan hired me back. But even with that, I feel that there is a need for me to find a new mission. Especially now that I hear that the reptillian race is not truly extinct.



Through the tournament, he soon learned that not only has his race survived Shao Kahn's attacks. They were actually holding their own fighting tournament. Reptile ventured to where it was held.



REPTILE: "My name is Reptile and I am the greatest lizard warrior of them all!"



SAURON: "ROARRRRRRRRR!"

REPTILE: "Aw, Crap."

Smoke



Ever since my automation, I have been in involuntary servitude. First it was the Lin Kuei controlling everything I did. When I broke free, my life was taken over by Noob Saibot. Now I am in control, and after I win the tournament, I will be free from my curse.



At first Smoke was looking for a way to escape his robotic body. However, throughout the tournament, Smoke came to realize that it wasn't so bad. He was much more powerful in this form, especially that teleport uppercut. So he decided to take care of that other thing that he always hated. Smoke took his winnings and...



...went to a car wash, he was able to rid himself of his smoke. Now once again, he could go into a resturant!

Jade



I have assisted Kitana through many times. But I realize I have been standing in her shadow too long. I know the way to gain the power to become the warrior I should be.



After Jade's victory, Kitana went over to congratulte her. However, Jade had different plans. You see, with each victory Jade grew stronger. And after the final match, she was at her peak. She found that her invincibility to projectiles had returned to her.



In a rage she ran up to Kitana, sucker punched her, then she stole her fans.



Running away to the time portal, she laughed at how she had finally reached the potential she previously had in the second tournament. Now it was time for the next part of the plan. Jade would meet her partner in crime...

TO BE CONTINUED!

Tremor



On a misson for the Black Dragon, my life ended by the hands of Jax. Luckily I got better, and now I'm back! I can't wait to see how the old gang's doing. It seems that Kabal's now leading, and I hear he's got some great new ideas.



After the tournament, Tremor found out about a meeting with the members of the new Black Dragon.

TREMOR: "Hey, guys!"

JAREK: "Tremor, long time no see!"

TREMOR: "Do you know where Kano is? I need to find out how his mission turned out."

JAREK: "Forget it, Kano's gone. Turns out that was a setup. I ended up getting killed for him."

TREMOR: "Yeah, me too, I never liked that guy anyways."

KABAL: "With my leadership, the Black Dragon will destroy all. My new recruits will make sure of this."

TREMOR: "Oh yeah, then who's this schmuck?"

KOBRA: "Don't you underestimate me! I will kill all that oppose me!"

JAREK: "Don't worry about him. Remember, two enter, one survives."

TREMOR: "Heh, heh, heh."

KOBRA: "What are you guys talking about?"

KABAL: "Oh, you'll find out."

JAREK: "Anyway, Tremor, we're going to go on our next mission. We're going to get revenge on Jax."

TREMOR: "Count me in."



Later, at Jax's house...

*Ding-dong!*

JAX: "Who is that, oh no a fire!"



JAX: "Hey, this is a bag of...."

BLACK DRAGONS: "BWA-HAHAHAHA!"

The Black Dragon had finally gotten their revenge on Jax!



JAX: "I see you guys, it's earthquake time!"

Rain



At one time they never believed that I existed. I proved them wrong. They also believed that humans turning into deadly animals and the ninja called Ermac didn't exist either. Now there is a long rumored technique that I have discovered. When I win, I will reveal it to all.



RAIN: "Now that I have a worldwide audience, I will reveal the hidden technique. Kitana, feel the power of the...



RAIN: "NUDALITY!"

Unfortunately for Rain...



Kitana was too fast and the attack missed her and instead hit another less appealing target.



GORO: "ARRGH! Who has done this to me! There you are! I will break your back and make you humble!"

It was then that Rain realized that knowing a secret was one thing, but using it correctly was another.

S3kt0r



LOL! Sub-Zer0 thought 1 was gone, when he defeated m3 for leadership 0f the L1n Kuei. WTF! However, I started a L33T new ninja clan. The Suxx0r Lin Kuei will be PWN3D by my T3kun1n. ROFTLMAO!!!1111



S3KT0R: "All will be pwn3d by teh t3kun1n! LOL! And we... no...."



S3KT0R: "Aaahhhh....Malfunction! WTF!!!!11111"



TEKUNIN: "Quick, make sure our leader is safe. I will call for the ROFLcopter."



TEKUNIN: "Ph3ar the ROFLcopter."



At the Tekunin base, all of S3KT0Rs robot friends gathered around their leader being repaired.

TEKUNIN: "Now it looks like Sektor's hard drive was corrupted when coming up with strategies for the Tekunin. We can take a look at his data and see what went wrong. Oh no, it looks like he wasn't working on the Tekunin. He was just...



TEKUNIN: "...downloading porn all day."

Cyrax



I am very close to regaining my humanity. With the help of Sonya and Jax, much of my cyberwhatzit has been taken out. However I need to regain my missing soul. I also need to find out how to stop getting lost in deserts all the time.



Cyrax looked to the horizon after his victory and saw the manifestation of his soul. He would proceed to the place he saw it and then would be human again! Unfortunately for him...



...he got lost in a desert on the way there, like an idiot.



But all was not lost, his soul was also moving towards the robotic body of Cyrax and...




also got lost in a desert on the way there, like an idiot.

Khameleon



I reveal myself and much like the mystique around me there are secrets I have to find out. Not the rumor that the raptors are still around, beat the game with Reptile to see how that turns out. I have to know... why am I only allowed to be in Nintendo games?



KHAMELEON: "Now I have proven myself. There is no stopping me."

???: "Stop right there."

KHAMELEON: "Who is that?"



MARIO: "It's a me! Mario! Do you remember the contract you signed? You can't fight anywhere but on Nintendo games. If that contract was good enough for the Cruisin' USA drivers, it's good enough for you. There's no way you can break it."

KHAMELEON: "But I can break you."

MARIO: "Mama Mia!"

Khameleon proceeded to attack the two brothers...



...then set her sights on attacking their home. She destroyed all that was in her path. The Mushroom Kingdom had met it's Armageddon.

Chameleon



I have been in hiding for too long. Now I reveal myself. But what is my purpose?



Hidden ever since the first tournament, Chameleon arose to defeat all comers. However he lacked one thing. Since he had no real storyline, he didn't know what to do.



So he celebrated his victory by going back home and spent the rest of the night watching TV and drinking beer.

(Younger) Sub-Zero



The Lin Kuei have been a force of evil for too long. No more. The Lin Kuei now fight for honor. I set up this tournament because I need to prove myself. I will get respect if I defeat the best ninjas from around the world.



SUB-ZERO: "I hope my victory shows that honor and respect will win over trickery and revenge. No longer will we fight for who pays us the most, we will fight for what is right. This is a new era for the Lin Kuei. And my fellow Lin Kuei will follow me, their leader, into this future."



Actually, they didn't. Soon after Sub Zero finished his speech, most of the Lin Kuei quit and joined other ninja clans or started their own. It turns out that most liked trickery, revenge, and money better.



NOOB SAIBOT: "Now, we will attack the Lin Kuei base and convert all inside to Netherealm soldiers."

NINJA: "Go ahead, we don't care. Have fun."

(Human) Reptile



I used to work for Shang Tsung in the first Mortal Kombat tournament. I challenged warriors that were good enough to a battle at the bottom of the pit. However I quit and ever since the second tournament, I was replaced by some lizard who isn't in my league. I'm gonna find Shang Tsung and kick his ass, he owes me.



The first Reptile had entered the tournament to map out the Outworld. With this information, he was soon able to discover the whereabouts of Shang Tsung.



ONAGA: "Okay, so we all meet up at the pyrmaid. But Raiden, stay behind for a bit. If you see Taven, confront him. It will totally freak him out."



REPTILE: "There you are."

SHANG: "What are you doing here?"

REPTILE: "You know why I'm here. The rest of you stay back, this has nothing to do with you. Now Shang, don't you owe me something?"

SHANG: "I don't know what you're talking about."

REPTILE: "You know damn well, I fought for you and defeated all that crossed my path. Now, where's the 10,000,000 points that you owe me!"

SHANG: "Okay, okay, here you go."

REPTILE: "That's more like it. You double cross me again, I'll kick your ass even harder."

THE GANG: "Hahahahaha, what a loser."

(MKII) Jade



I have assisted Kitana through many times. But I realize I have been standing in her shadow too long. Now I have gained the power to become the warrior I should be. It's time to call some old friends.



After Jade gained her power back, she went to the time portal.

JADE: "So my plan worked, everything went as it should have."



JADE: "Noob Saibot!"

NOOB SAIBOT: "Good, now it's time for the third member of our party to appear."

Through the portal of time, a third familiar person jumped out.



SMOKE: "It looks like the band is back together."
