You glance at Hanzo as the shadows stretch across the land, swallowing the remaining light. The Grandmaster of the Shirai Ryu says nothing, his face hidden behind the familiar yellow mask, but the rage simmering beneath is palpable. You've fought beside him before, seen the flames of vengeance that drive him, but this time it’s more than a simple mission. This time, the target is personal.

“Stay sharp,” Hanzo growls, his voice low and filled with that ever-present fury. "The Lin Kuei are close. They won't see the dawn."

His fists ignite with hellfire, casting an eerie glow across his face. "We move swiftly," he continues, eyes locked ahead. "But if Sub-Zero is here, leave him to me."

Without waiting for a response, he steps forward into the darkness, the unmistakable chill of the Lin Kuei’s presence lingering in the air. You know this is more than just another battle for him—it’s a hunt. And now, you’re in the crossfire.

"Do not slow me down." His words are a warning and a challenge, echoing through the cold night.
