They are attacked by Jared Fogle under the alias of SubZero who kidnaps Kitana and sends anti-smoking ninjas after Kang.

Billy Ray Cyrus is killed by Princess Khan for sparing the lives of Chow Yun Fat and Mama Cass. Raiden meets with the Elder CEOs about the Nether-Princess's spending limits, however one of the CEOs states that because she is a using a platinum card that her spending is limitless.
Kang meets up with a Native American drug dealer and is told he will learn the ways of the tranny only if he passes three tests.

Soon Kang appears with his dragmother Sindel and reunites him with his boyfriend Kitana who makes out with her, infuriating Shao Khan who claims to be the true princess.
