Kenshi soon discovers the plans of the Deadly Alliance (Shang Tsung and Quan Chi), but is unable to contact Jax and Sonya's Outer World Investigation Agency after it is bombed by Red Dragon clan member Hsu Hao. In gratitude, Ermac awakens Kenshi's latent telekinetic power, and teaches him not only how to use it effectively in combat, but how to sense the presence of people and objects around him. He is then assigned to find missing fellow Special Forces member Cyrax, but during his search, Kenshi encounters the enigmatic Ermac, and, in a moment of pity, breaks the mind control that the now-deceased Outworld emperor Shao Kahn still had over him.

However, the sword, named "Sento", does actually exist and it speaks telepathically to Kenshi, leading him from the tomb and revealing its origin.
