The intro to Deception shows Scorpion excating his revenge on Quan Chi, he kills Quan. His revenge having been completed his soul goes to rest. With Scorpion out of the way the Dragon King starts to search the netherrealm for the third and final Oni. Raiden hears of this and returns to the heavens to find and ask Scorpion for his assistance in defeating the DK. Raiden tells Scorpion that if he agrees then he will be human once again. Raiden also says that he will restore the memories of his wife and child. Scorpion agrees to help Raiden and returns to earthrealm as a human with the memories of his lost family restored. Remebering his dead family and being human once again his emotions get the better of him. He asks Raiden for some time to clear his mind. Raiden agrees to give him some time to come to terms with the loss of his family. In a near by forest Scorpion practices his katas to clear his mind. Out of no where he is amushed by two vicious creatures who go by the names Baraka and Mileena. An epic battle is fought throughout the forest but Scorpion no longer being a hell spectre his is slightly weakened. The battle is fought and Scorpion finds himself at the mercy of Baraka. Baraka, had it been up to him would have killed him on the spot but, Milenna stops him reminding him of the strict orders given to them by their master, the Dragon King. Baraka decides just to knock him unconscious rather then kill him, because of what his master would do if he were to disobey a direct order. When he comes to he is confronted by none of then the DK himself. The Dragon King knew of Scorpion and his despair. He makes Scorpion an offer he won't refuse. Join me he says and help me become the ruler of all realms and i will send you back to a time you thought was gone forever. Aid me in my quest for power and i will send you back to your family where you will live with them until the end of your days. Overwhelmed by the thought of seeing his wife and child again Scorpion readily agrees. The Dragon King has gained yet another powerful ally.

Let me know what you think. Some may like my idea some may not but anything is better then the stale dieing and coming back for revenge story.
