Mortal Kombat 1 - Chapter 5 - Weird Science - Baraka
0Chapter 5: Weird Science (Baraka)
The Earthrealmers and Baraka are locked in a dungeon: Shang Tsung's true lab underneath the false front, where he indulges in many horrific and depraved experiments. Kenshi, now permanently blinded, is struggling with both his disability and the agony from his injuries. The captives are visited by Syzoth, their jailor, who gives Johnny medicine to relieve Kenshi's pain and reveals that he is only helping Shang Tsung because his family is being held captive. He also reveals that he is a Zaterran, and the only one of his kind that can change his shape, which Shang Tsung used to learn how to do so as well. Shang Tsung visits their prison and declares he will use their bodies for fatal experimentation, leaving no traces or evidence of them that will allow Liu Kang to retaliate. As he leaves, Syzoth unleases a wave of ravenous Tarkatans on the prisoners, opening both cages to allow the prisoners to be devoured. During the battle, Johnny Cage and Kenshi are placed in electrified cages, but Baraka and Kung Lao are able to fight back and free them. Syzoth makes one last attempt to prevent their escape, but Baraka defeats him. Syzoth demands to be killed so that Shang Tsung may spare his family, but Baraka spares him. Shang Tsung returns and interrupts the escape and reveals to Syzoth that his family was killed long ago. Before Syzoth can retaliate, however, Shang escapes and fills the room with poisonous gas. Unable to open the door, Baraka breaks it and the group escapes into the wilderness.
Escaping into the Living Forest, Johnny Cage marvels at the scenery while Baraka explains that the trees hold the souls of their ancestors, save for Syzoth's, as Zaterrans are not welcomed by "warm-bloods". The four listen as Syzoth explains his origins, where he was considered a "freak" by his fellow Zaterrans but found a place as an "oddity" peddled by Shang Tsung during his days as a huckster. After Shang learned real sorcery, however, he demanded to study Syzoth's gift and took his family hostage when he refused.
The group run into a battle between Ashrah and several demons, and she confuses the group as the latter and attacks. After defeating her, they explain that they are not demons but Outworlders and Earthrealmers, causing Ashrah to apologize and explain that she is being pursued by demons sent by Quan Chi, who is also working with Shang Tsung. Seeing that their interests align, the group agree to find Quan Chi and defeat him, to the protest of Johnny Cage, who wants to return Kenshi to Earthrealm to deal with his injuries. The group follow Ashrah, as she explains she is a former demoness that found her magical blade that not only senses evil but allows her to shed her demonic traits with each evil being she kills. When Johnny asks why a demon would want to be less evil, she explains that while the Netherrealm was originally all she knew, upon seeing the beauty of Earthrealm and Outworld, she knew there was a better way to live and had since vowed to never allow Quan Chi to defile both.
