Scorpion and Sub-Zero...the truth: Evidence that Scorp became sub's protector

In MK1 and the beginning of MK2 he was all about revenge (proven by bio's and endings). His MK2 ending was suported by the fact that he did go back to hell and that Sub-Zero was still alive to be in MK3. In MKT, revenge was not what he wanted, he was free and a wild card, if it was revenge he wanted he would have been busy hunting sub-zero and not interested in Kahn at all. At the end of MKT, Scorp was going back to hell regardless if he met sub in kombat or not (as long as earth still won that is). In MK4, defeating Sub-Zero was a job. His bio says that he had other intentions but they were never revealed. You could say they were to get revenge on Sub-Zero, but If he was out for revenge, I doubt he would have stopped for a chat after knocking Sub down in the final confrontation. The fact that he did stop and said "By defeating you Sub-Zero, I HAVE..." shows that the fight was over, he didn't need or want to kill him. If it was revenge Scorpion wouldn't have stopped, killing him in Kombat would have been his untimate goal. You can see that by the way he relentlessly hunts Quan Chi. If he had said, by defeating you Sub-Zero, I will..., it would have shown that he was going to finish him. I beleive he wasn't going to kill him.

I disagree. Maybe thats what they were going for but if so it was still terrible story telling.

This kinda confuses me, I was about to make a topic (been a while since I've gone over the stories of the old MK's), so here it is in my words.
At the beginning of MK1, Scorpion had already been killed by Sub-Zero (not sure about this). However, he was already, at the time, dead. He firmly believed that Sub-Zero had killed his family and clan (although it was truly Quan Chi). Quan Chi had asked Sub-Zero to retrieve his amulet for him. After doing so, Quan Chi framed him for this murder. At the end of MK1, Scorpion tracked down and killed Sub-Zero (again, not sure, confirmation requested).
In MK2, Scorpion witnessed a different Sub-Zero (Sub's little brother), and mistaked him for the Sub-Zero that he killed. Scorpion however, witnessed Sub-Zero spare a defeated opponent's life, and realized that it was not the Sub-Zero that he had killed before. Feeling guilty for the murder of his older brother, Scorpion vowed to watch over him.
Basically, I have no idea what happens between MK3-MKT.
Now, for some reason, in MK4, Scorpion attacks the younger Sub-Zero ?(not sure of this) That's when he learns it was Quan Chi who murdered his family and clan. While Quan Chi was transporting Scorpion back to the Netherealm, Scorpion grabbed him, Quan Chi was trapped in the Netherealm with him.
MKDA, while Scorpion loves the Netherealm, as it increases his power, Quan Chi is weakened. Drahmin and Moloch enlightened Quan Chi about his amulet, which he used to escape the Netherealm, leaving them behind. Scorpion also escaped, tracking down Quan Chi to torment him more. Moloch and Drahmin are now pretty pissed that they were left behind after helping him escape, and have allied with Shang Tsung against him.
So, can someone please help me with those questions I have above? Also, can someone tell me the relationship between Shinnok and Quan Chi? Where was Shinnok when Quan Chi found him? (Netherealm?) And what was Quan Chi's interest in helping him?

Shinnok was in the neitherealm and Quan's main interest was getting Shinnok's amulet.
This discussion really doesn't have much to do with MK:DA. Since this topic deals with the events of the storyline throughout the Mortal Kombat series, the Classic MK Games Discussion forum would be the better suited place to carry on this discussion.
