At Lord Liu Kang’s temple, he watches as the soul stealers are activated, and Geras arrives with unsettling news. He reveals that the benefactor behind the Deadly Alliance is someone from a parallel timeline running alongside Liu Kang’s own. Realizing that the survival of both Earthrealm and Outworld hinges on an urgent intervention, Liu Kang decides to travel to Outworld and seek an audience with Empress Sindel. He plans to reveal his past role as the Keeper of Time in hopes of gaining her support.
Upon reaching Sun Do, Liu Kang is confronted by Li Mei and her constables, who order him to turn back. Liu Kang explains the situation, implicating General Shao and Shang Tsung as traitors, and mentions that Shang Tsung gained the empress’s favor by treating Mileena’s Tarkat disease. Li Mei, believing him, agrees to help and grants him an audience with Sindel.
On their journey, Liu Kang and Li Mei are ambushed by Reiko and Motaro, who try to convince Li Mei to join their cause and threaten her when she refuses. After fending them off, they continue their trek to the palace, only to be confronted again by Tanya and the Umgadi. After defeating them, they bring Tanya captive to prove their intentions are not hostile. However, things take a turn when Tanya attacks Li Mei in the throne room, forcing Liu Kang and Li Mei to defend themselves against her, Kitana, and Mileena. During the battle, Mileena’s Tarkat disease flares up, and she nearly kills Sindel. Li Mei manages to save the empress and neutralize Mileena until a cure can be administered.
Grateful for Li Mei’s actions, Sindel forgives her and allows Liu Kang to present his case. Liu Kang warns her that if the evidence from Shang Tsung’s lab doesn’t convince her, he will have no choice but to surrender Earthrealm without a fight.
