Sensing the cries of his captured
ancestors, Kenshi made a vow to slay Shang Tsung in order to
free them from his grasp. When he learned of Shang Tsung's
escape to Outworld, Kenshi agreed to help the Special Forces
search for the missing agent Cyrax as a means of gaining access
to that realm, which allowed him to act as both rescue party and
spy. Shortly after discovering the sorcerer's whereabouts, the
Agency was destroyed and with it his only means for a return to
Earth. Kenshi now finds himself facing the Deadly Alliance on
his own.
Kenshi had finally caught up with Shang Tsung
in Outworld. Years ago, Kenshi had been manipulated into
releasing the souls of his warrior ancestors. Shang Tsung had
consumed those souls and left Kenshi to die in the tomb. The
ordeal left Kenshi blinded, but the sword of his ancestors led
him out of the depths.
To redeem himself, Kenshi had vowed to free
his ancestors from their captor. He cut Shang Tsung down with
his ancestral sword and a blast of souls was instantly released.
The spirits of the warrior kings reentered the sword as Kenshi
held it above his head. His duty fulfilled, he could now return
to Earthrealm.
