Don\u2019t waste your time, it doesn&#8217;t make any sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legendary fighters from the game are all here \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2014\/10\/john-wick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sonya Blade,<\/a> Kano, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Kung Lao and Jax \u2014 mixed into the story of a new character \u2014 Cole Young.

If they don\u2019t win over enemies the whole human race will be enslaved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all comes in what seems to be a massive multi-level fight.
