Liu Kang: All you can do now is test your might. We have no time to lose. You must unlock your arcana.

Cole Young: Liu, how do I find my arcana?
Liu Kang: It must come from your soul. Whatever it is that drives you.
Cole Young: So, how did you find your arcana?
Liu Kang: Unlike Kung Lao, I was just a worthless stray. For reasons beyond my ken, Master Bo' Rai Cho found me half-dead in the gutter and brought me to the Wu Shi Academy. There, I was given a purpose. A brother... Kung Lao. And I met Lord Raiden, who Kung Lao and I have served together. Upon graduation, I was given a name of a man. He was a purveyor of rare things. Children. Orphans like me. He had a marking. So, I chose to take it from him. And in that moment, my arcana came forth.
