*Shao Khan trusts few, except the fighters of his own creation. Collecting the blood of countless warriors and infusing it with sorcery, he created the blood thirsty Skarlet. Gaining strength from the blood of her opponents, Shao Kahn only releases her as a last resort.

An expert tracker, she preys on those deemed enemies of the empire. During kombat, Skarlet gains strength from her opponent's blood, absorbing it through her skin. Shao Kahn has a new mission for this formidable kombatant: discover Quan Chi's true intentions and kill him if he plots betrayal of the emperor.

Skarlet is one of the onlookers as Shao Kahn, Raiden and Kotal confront each other. During this exchange, Kotal laments on how she was one of the long-gone Outworld warriors, hinting that Mileena did indeed kill her. Skarlet then joins the battle to secure Shao Kahn back his throne after he challenges Kotal Kahn. After Kotal defeats Baraka, Skarlet uses her blood magic to pull Kotal into the lower catacombs of the coliseum.

Kotal remarks on how she was once an orphan before becoming an assasin. Skarlet snaps back that it was better to thrive in Shao Kahn's courts then starve to death in the streets. She declares that though though the Osh-Tekk practice Blood Magik, she was the master, and battles the Kahn, but is defeated. Skarlet manages to escape between Kotal's reunion with Jade.*
