"Kano: Better get right with Kronika. Baraka: (Fuck) you and Kronika! Kano: Now that's a bonzer attitude."

"Kabal: I'm as fast as greased lightning. Erron Black: Look at you, speaking Texan. Kabal: Figured I'd use words you'd understand."

"Frost: Once cyberized, you will serve. Erron Black: Serve? Or service? Frost: Ugh, never mind."

"Frost: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Cassie Cage: Page five, Cliché Villains Handbook? Frost: Snark won't save you, Cage."

"Erron Black: That's some outfit. Sub-Zero: It honors Lin Kuei tradition. Erron Black: Time to let the past die."

"Noob Saibot: Kronika said I would lead the New Era's deadliest clan. But she made such promises to many. She could never keep them all. So I betrayed her, before she could betray me. When Kronika's sands fused with my shadows, my ambitions grew. Why be ruler of mortals, when I could rule destiny itself? Mortals resisted, but could not stop, my blanketing history in cold, endless night. All is dark. All are shadows. I have had many names. Now I am become Death, destroyer of worlds."

"Geras: Kronika's endless cycle of rewinding and restarting timelines had destroyed my spirit. But she refused to grant me either freedom or death. So I took her power to do what she could not. I would create one final, perfect timeline. Then, I would rest. But the task was more difficult than I imagined. Mortals refused to follow the paths I set for them. Timeline after timeline, my frustration grew. I began to understand why Kronika had been driven to madness. Perhaps mortals do not need a Lord of Time. I will sacrifice my body and my mantle to re-sculpt the Sands so that the Hourglass runs itself. And for the first time in all eternity. I can rest.... In peace."

"Noob Saibot: Kuai Liang was a fool to trust you. Frost: A fool to doubt me, like you. Noob Saibot: I do not doubt your hubris."

"Noob Saibot: One clan will rule the New Era. Frost: That clan will be mine, Bi-Han. Noob Saibot: Kuai Liang would be a better Grandmaster."

"Frost: The past is in the past. Frost (other player): Then let your storm rage on! Frost: Time to test my limits and break through!"

"Noob Saibot: You are a sinful monk. Kung Lao: I'm no Liu Kang, but I'm hardly sinful. Noob Saibot: Death will purge your pride."

"Noob Saibot: You know nothing of cold. Frost: You never conjured ice as cold as mine. Noob Saibot: Death is the coldest ice."

"Kano: So, we in bizzo eh, D'Vorah? D'Vorah: You are a means to This One's ends. Kano: We'll get along just fine."

"Nightwolf: Before I was Nightwolf, I was a fool named Grey Cloud. Born into poverty, I resented my ancestors for giving up our future to colonizers... Kano offered a way out, promising riches if I stole the tribe's most sacred relics. I was sorely tempted, but then I realized that by saving myself, I'd be surrendering the last of my people's dignity. For the first time, I defended the Matoka's pride. Kano was unimpressed. But as I lay dying, the Great Spirit came to me. By rejecting Kano, I had proven worthy of an ancient honor. The mantle of Nightwolf... legendary defender of the Matoka. Now, as I inherit Kronika's mantle, the way before me is split. The Keeper of Time cannot also be my tribe's defender. Which path do i choose? Even here, at time's beginning, the Great Spirit's wisdom guides me. She calls me to restore history. The Matoka, I must leave to another. To the next Nightwolf. Like all our sacred relics, the Nightwolf mantle belongs to the tribe. Any Matokan, can prove worthy of its power. I enjoy imagining who will defend us next."

"Kung Lao: Double date with Liu Kang and Kitana? Jade: In your dreams, Kung Lao. Kung Lao: A simple 'no' would have sufficed."

"Frost: You should have been Grandmaster. Noob Saibot: I would not allow female Lin Kuei. Frost: You're worse than Kuai Liang!"

"Frost: I deserve your respect. Sonya Blade: Whatever, you do nothing bitch./You haven't earned any, Frost. Frost: Wrong answer, Blade."

"D'Vorah: A cold snack for the Swarm. Frost: This frost bites back. D'Vorah: Not with your jaw slacked from poison."

"Baraka: You'll be a good practice dummy. Frost: I am the future of pain, Baraka! Baraka: More like future of scrap metal."

"Baraka: Do you know what I am? Johnny Cage: Cannibal humanoid under dweller? Baraka: I am death, you imp!"

"Mileena: With the Hourglass won, my thoughts turned toward my sister. I was born from her flesh. We shared the same blood. I wanted us to be family... But she wanted me dead. I was not her twin, I was a monstrosity! How horrified she would be, to know that I've used Kronika's power to take her place. Under my parents' adoring gaze, I rule the realms as Kahnum of Time. My sister's friends, her lover? They cherish me. Kitana is forgotten, her name buried in the sands of history. Yet even I can't reign forever. Like all queens, I need an heir. Someone to carry on in my name, and see my will done across the eons. Unlike my sister, my daughter regards me with awe and wonder. To her I am no abomination, I am perfection."

"Fujin: As the new Keeper of Time, I was overwhelmed by my responsibilities. Who was I to design the destinies of mortals? As their protector, I had spent eons safeguarding them. But while I had grown to appreciate mortals deeply... ...I understood precious little about their daily existence. So I used the Hourglass to live hundreds of thousands of lifetimes. They spanned the possibilities of realm, race, gender, and faith. Most importantly, I learned the simple joy of ending each day in the warm embrace of family. Humbled by my new wisdom, I bend the arc of history not to my will, but to the service of those who must live it. While it is beyond my power to guarantee outcomes, I will give mortals the chance to have better, more peaceful lives."

"The Terminator: Your mask. What's its purpose? Kabal: Take it from me and I'll tell you. The Terminator: All right."

"Baraka: I hate cold things. Frost: I am no 'thing', beast. Baraka: You are meat, Frost."

"Baraka: Heir to the Great Kung Lao. Kung Lao: The family legend precedes me. Baraka: It ends with your death."

"Baraka: It is a battle of blades. Kung Lao: My hat's blade has greater range. Baraka: But you only have one."

"Baraka: Speak your joke to my face. Jacqui: Baraka: My Grandmother's were the biggest!"

"Baraka: We meet again. Sub-Zero: It's a long way from the tournament. Baraka: We can still fight."

"Baraka: Nay aka ratakka tahar kombat. Kung Lao: All I understood from that was 'kombat'. Baraka: Then you understand enough."

"Liu Kang: What does it mean to wield the Sands of Time? To be the Chosen One? It means making choices that break your heart. For the protection of all, I shared Kronika's power with the people I trust and loved most. Together we replace the Elder Gods that Cetrion had betrayed... and became eternal guardians of the realms. Still... My heart longs for a simple life. The kind one cannot have being the Chosen One, let alone an Elder God. What Kitana and I would not give for those simple pleasures. Perhaps in another timeline, they could be ours."

"Baraka: What happened to your eye? Kano: Special Forces bastard took it. Baraka: I'll take the other one."

"Baraka: Daughter of Earthrealm. Jacqui: And proud of it, Buckteeth. Baraka: These teeth will rend your flesh."

"Shao Kahn: You will join my concubines. Cassie Cage: One -- eww, two -- piss off! Shao Kahn: I like females with fire."

"Baraka: All of Tarkata reveres Jade. Kotal Kahn: An honor richly deserved. Baraka: You, on the other hand."

"Kitana: I've never liked guns. Erron Black: Aww, they make you nervous, Princess? Kitana: They are highly uncivilized."

"Johnny Cage: What's cookin', Good Lookin'? Cassie Cage: Ewww, No. Seriously?! Johnny Cage: Wait, what?! Not what I meant!"

"Kung Lao: Of course I defeated Kronika. And when I did, there was only one thing wanted to do with the Hourglass. Undo the defeat of my ancestor, the Great Kung Lao. In my timeline, the Great Kung Lao is the undisputed Mortal Kombat champion. Earthrealm never loses another tournament. For generations, his example inspires millions to join the White Lotus Society and defend Earthrealm. They in turn inspire rebels to overthrow Shao Kahn in Outworld. The realm makes peace. Until, inevitably, a more powerful enemy comes along... ...and finds Earthrealm backed by Kung Lao, Immortal Lord of Time and Warrior Supreme. Beat that, Liu Kang."

"Frost: Sub-Zero dismissed me. Raiden dismissed me. They all did, even Kronika. Until I froze the smug looks off all their faces and became the Lin Kuei's new Grandmaster. The Hourglass offers even greater prospects. With it, I'll mold history to carve my name on everyone's lips. But even its power has limits. My vision can be upended by people's individual choices. Unlike Kronika, I won't let these imperfections fester until time itself must be restarted. The Lin Kuei will be my time warriors. Travelling through history, they'll get rid of those whose actions threaten my vision. From now on, no one will overlook my greatness. I'll never be dismissed again."

"Kitana: I was right, doubting the Elder Gods. Cetrion: Your lack of faith disturbs me. Kitana: As does your obedience to Kronika."

"D'Vorah: Jerrod was soft and weak-willed. Kitana: You claim to know father? D'Vorah: This One killed him for Shao Kahn."

"Cassie Cage: Can I ask for a favor? Sub-Zero: You may battle for one. Cassie Cage: Knew you'd say some shit like that."

"Kung Lao: Smile and the realms smile with you. Baraka: I'll smile when you swing from a meat hook. Kung Lao: Not going to happen, Baraka."

"Scorpion: Still hoping to kill me? Frost: All Shirai Ryu must die. Scorpion: My fire will melt you, Frost."

"Cassie Cage: Grandmaster Hasashi. Scorpion: I cannot escape my rage. Cassie Cage: Knew you'd say some shit like that."

"Kotal Kahn: In her last moments, Kronika tried to tempt me. Spare her and she would re-write history. With Jade as my queen I would rule an eternal Osh-Tekk empire that spanned all the realms. But Kronika never understood the Osh-Tekk heart. Our lives are cloth, woven from choice and circumstance. Pull even one thread, that cloth is torn asunder and made worthless. Now that I am tasked with keeping time, others beg me to have their histories rewritten. But as long as the Hourglass is mine, I will not shape destiny in any one being's favour. History will play out as determined by its players. Let the sands fall where they may."

"Shang Tsung: How brave of you to confront me. Jax: Don't you be creeping on Jacqui. Shang Tsung: I'll teach her what you never could."

"Kung Lao: Mine is the legacy of the Great Kung Lao. Cetrion: His legacy was dying in defeat. Kung Lao: He lives on in me, Cetrion."

"Frost: Mine is a cold, cold world. Jacqui: You'll be hotter when you die, Frost. Frost: Think you can send me to the Netherrealm?"

"Erron Black: Any chance we settle this peaceably? The Terminator: No. Erron Black: Hasta la vista, baby."

"Shang Tsung: Sonya's not here to save you, Jax. Jax: She'll be sad she missed this smackdown. Shang Tsung: She can grieve the death of her commander."
