Opening
Scorpion being awoken by Quan-Chi told that there is a tournament hold by a powerforce even greater than Shao Kahn and Raiden. Wondering why Quan-Chi has awoken him and why he should care is told that his nemesis Sub Zero might be might be wanting to beat the tournament master himself to gain his power. In finding the source of the power Scorpion will therefore find Sub Zero and be able to inact his revenge.

Rival
Name: Yoshimitsu

Reason: Scorpion is on his search for Sub Zero when he comes across a meditating Yoshimitsu. Scorpion asks Yoshimitsu if he has seen Sub Zero. Yoshimitsu who doesn't reply just sits there. Scorpion angry with his lack of cooperation demands an answer. When Yoshimitsu stands up he claims that there is much hatred in Scorpions heart and that he should let it go before he burns himself apart. Scorpion states that he will then unleash his anger on Yoshimitsu.

Connection: Yoshimitsu and Scorpion are both ninjas. They both appear in fighting games and cross over fighting games (DC Universe vs Mortal Combat and StreetFighterXTekken). Yoshimitsu chooses not to embrace his hatred while Scorpion has become engulfed by his hatred for Sub Zero. Both seem to be undead by having skulls for heads. They are also both not the main characters of their series and yet have appeared in every one of the games in their respective series. Both have had their villages attacked and destroyed.

Ending
Scorpion returned to the NetherRealm where he encountered Quan Chi once again. Quan asked him if he succeeded in winnign the tournament. Scorpion said he had beaten the orginizer of the tournament with ease, but obtained a power that would make him much stronger than Raiden and Shao Khan combined. He said that the first one he will test his new abilities on is Quan Chi and engaged battle with him.

Gameplay
Scorpion is a ninja who fights with hellfire, the NetherRealm variant of Earth's fire. He uses this in many of his attacks making him a fire-based character. However he also makes much use of ninja weapons and skills. He has mostly focusses on close range combat, although he makes use of some projectiles. Scorpion is a real combo fighter. His attacks are part of combo's he can preform in the game.
