A towns person comes into the trading post with a piece of a hive. Kung Lao realizes that Kreeya must be back making armies. Siro makes explosives to blow up the hives, and all three go looking for them. Along the way Siro is attacked by a reptile fighter, from the realm of Zatera. Kreeya has aligned with Zatera and has employed reptile fighters as bodyguards of the hives. Siro is about to be killed when Kiri and Ankha two women who sent Siro to awaken Noob Saibot in an earlier episode come to his rescue and kill the fighter. They tell Siro that they have aligned for the time being with them against Kreeya because Shao Kahn does not wish to see Earthrealm be taken by her. Kung Lao does not trust the arrangement but has to deal with it for the time being. It turns out later that Kiri and Ankha have been working for Vorpax all along and were hired just to keep Kung Lao and Co. busy while Kreeya put as many hives on Earth as she could. Their orders now are to kill Kung Lao and his friends. Taja goes out to look after Siro while Kung Lao has to do battle with both women. They turn into Reptiles, and start to fight. Siro comes back and tackles Kung Lao to the ground just as Kiri spits acid and accidentally hits Ankha. Kreeya is going to mate with the leader of Zatera to make Zatera a better realm for all that live there.
