Kabal's skin is scarred heavily from the burns, but it's no longer looking like charcoal. He begins to wake up, groaning as he does so. It's now apparent that the both of them are in Shang Tsung's Flesh Pits.
KANO: Easy there, mate. You've had a rough one.
KABAL: Kano?
KANO: Heh heh, in the flesh.
KABAL: I was... on fire...
KANO: Burned to a crisp, you were. Good thing I found ya.
Kabal touches the mask on his face.
KABAL: I'm hideous...
KANO: Shang Tsung's magic healed the rest of ya. But your lungs? Yeesh.
KABAL: Take it off.
KANO: Can't. It's permanent.
KABAL: What?
KANO: No mask, no breathing.
KABAL: I'm... a freak!
Kano holds up a pair of hookswords. As Kabal is looking at the rest of his attire, Kano offers the weapons to him.
KANO: Go on. Give 'em a whirl.
KABAL: I don't use those anymore.
KANO: Yeah, you're all proper police now. The Black Dragon ain't the same without ya, mate. You should come back. We're in the money on this war.
KABAL: You sold those monsters their firepower.
KANO: Guilty as charged.
KABAL: This is YOUR fault!
KANO: What're you on about, eh?
He drops the hookswords.
KANO: You're here, ain't ya?
KABAL: I should be dead! Now you're gonna be!
They fight. Kabal finds out that not only is he still an able fighter, but he finds himself fighting with multiple new powers he didn't have before, including super speed. He gets the hang of these new powers quickly and uses them to completely overpower Kano, knocking him to the ground.
KABAL: Now how do I get outta here?
KANO: Not so keen on being dead now, are ya?
Kabal retrieves his hookswords.
KABAL: How do I get outta here?
KANO: Heh, good luck. No one gets outta Outworld with Shao Kahn's say-so.
KABAL: Outworld? Shao Kahn?
KANO: Shao Kahn's the big boss round here, and soon, Earth's new master.
Kabal points the hookswords at Kano's neck.
KABAL: Where is he?
KANO: Don't bother. You can't get near him.
KABAL: No. But I'm guessing you can.
The scene cuts to Shao Kahn's throne room. Mileena, along with several Lin Kuei cyborgs and Tarkatan minions, drag Motaro's body through a portal on a slab.
SHAO KAHN: What is this?
MILEENA: Raiden has killed Motaro.
Kabal enters the room, with Kano in front of him. The latter has one of his own knifes being weilded by Kabal and pointing into his back.
KABAL: That's him? On the throne?
KANO: You're a right genius, you are.
SINDEL: It's no great matter. I will go to Earthrealm. To finish Motaro's work.
