Later that night in a quarry carved on a mountainous terrain, littered with construction vehicles, On a nearby hill, the Lin Kuei cryomancer Kuai Liang, better known as Sub Zero, lies on his belly overlooking the quarry with a spyglass. His gaze focuses on an underground entrance built into one of the rocky hills of the quarry. Several converted cyborgs are carrying equipment further into the complex.
As Sub Zero continues to observe, a yellow garbed ninja sneaks up behind him. Sensing his approach, Sub Zero looks away from the spyglass and turns around just as the ninja pulls out his ninjato sword. He is unable to do anything more as the faster ninja brings his sword to bear, pointing it in his direction. Sub Zero finally gets a good look at the ninja and his face sags in bemusement.
"Your hearing is failing, Sub Zero." Hanzo says.
"I recognized your footsteps, Hanzo." Sub Zero informs.
The ninja is indeed Hanzo Hasashi, once known as Scorpion, but no longer. Hanzo puts his sword back in its sheath as Sub Zero gets to his feet.
"Where's Sektor? I will not let him threaten my clan again." Hanzo asks.
"The old Cyber Lin Kuei factory was defunct, buried beneath this quarry, until the time disruption. Now, Sektor's returned and reactivated it. He's building an army by processing Lin Kuei warriors kidnapped from my temple." Sub Zero explains.
"I can see why you need me." Hanzo says.
Sub Zero then points to the entrance.
"We could enter through that tunnel, but a frontal assault would be..." Sub Zero says before being cut off.
"Bloody." Hanzo says.
"...needlessly dangerous." Sub Zero corrects.
Sub Zero then hands Hanzo his spyglass.
"There's another entrance, less populated." Sub Zero informs.
Hanzo initially looks in the wrong direction, prompting Sub Zero to gently move his sight to the side entrance he refers to.
"And the rest of your plan?" Hanzo asks.
"We get help on the inside." Sub Zero says.
The two Grandmasters look to the quarry and say no more. At the side-entrance, a single Cyber Lin Kuei stands on guard. Sub Zero and Scorpion sneak up behind it and stab it repeatedly, Scorpion with his kunai, Sub Zero with a constructed ice dagger. Once the multiple stabbings bring the cyborg to its knees, the Grandmasters finish the job by simultaneously stabbing the cyborg through the joints connecting its neck to its shoulders. With the guard dead, Sub Zero and Scorpion run down the entrance way into the complex.
Inside the factory itself, Sub Zero and Scorpion enter a large room and take in the spectacle before them. Sub Zero's eyes widen as he glances over machinery designed to convert living humans into cybernetic monstrosities. He walks past human heads stuffed into glass tubes and sealed in an unknown liquid.
Under his feet are bloodied corpses with their skin flayed off their bodies. He spots a badge covered in blood and bends down to pick it up. Despair sets on his face as he realises the badge is one of the Lin Kuei's, meaning the corpses around him are of his own clan. Hanzo puts a reassuring hand on Kuai Liang's shoulder.
"We'll avenge your clan." Hanzo assures.
A whirring sound then catches the Grandmasters' attention and they run for cover as the doors behind them open. Two new figures enter the room. The first is a cyborg covered with a yellow paint job, and the second is the hooded woman seen at Kronika's side. The woman is carrying a vial of Jinsei, which she puts into one of the machines in the room.
