I deleted and re-uploaded this episode for better quality for you guys. The original was a compressed MP4 from way back. This is a DVD VOB file so it will only be compressed one time by YouTube.
Old Friends Never Die
Sub-Zero goes out to meet with his friend Smoke, who unexpectedly returns after being gone for many years. Sub-Zero and Smoke were best friends before Oniro, the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei clan, gave the order for automation of the ninjas. Sub-Zero managed to escape this fate, but Smoke was captured and transformed. Now Sub-Zero wants to know if his old friend has retained a human soul, or if he became only a machine for murder. Smoke's orders are to annihilate Sub-Zero and he nearly succeeds, until he suddenly realizes that he has retained his soul, and fights alongside his friend Sub-Zero once again. They team up to drive Oniro away, and though Smoke will not befriend Sub-Zero again since the latter is an enemy of the Lin Kuei, he honors their past oath to never fight each other in combat, and then disappears.
Smoke, Cyrax, and Sektor were all seen unmasked and in their human forms during a flashback scene at the Lin Kuei's training compound. Sektor was depicted as African-American and the others as Caucasian, but his description was passed on to Cyrax for Mortal Kombat Gold. Despite the presence of a non-canon character in Oniro, the storyline from this episode was the only one in the series that was taken directly from the games.
I think this is a great story about friendship.
Enjoy
