Kung Lao, who had been posing as a Masked Guard, helped his fellow Shaolin Monks escape the crumbling island. Liu Kang and his allies narrowly escaped with their lives.

When they returned home, the Wu Shi Academy was invaded by Baraka and his Tarkatan horde in an attempt to defy the rules of Mortal Kombat and take Earthrealm by force.
