Immortal Combat: The Code (Wu Xia 2 the Code)

Water.

Cloud.

Always a pleasure.

Hm, consider yourself lucky.

Lucky?

- We're all replaceable, don't forget that.

Water.

In our future, one simple breath

could mean life or death.

As we search for a solution, pollution engulfs our world.

If we don't find an answer fast,

all living things shall perish.

Bioscanners have been embedded into each human being.

They were created to help produce clean air

for each individual, but they are expensive

and third world countries are suffering.

Now, bioscanners are failing.

But a new code has been developed.

We are the five elements who strive to protect humanity.

Years ago, many warriors came to us seeking change

and joined our way of life.

Now, we must fight for our lives to bring the code

to the world or die trying.

Damn.

It's me, Cloud.

Something happened.

We need to meet.

When?

Where?

Okay.

TV on.

- 10 million dead, yes you heard that right.

The death toll now sits at 10 million.

The thinning of the ozone layer and pollution levels

continue to increase across the globe

and scientists estimate that in five to 10 years,

all living creatures may cease to exist,

unless a formula can be developed

and implemented immediately to produce mass quantities

of clean air and repair of frail upper atmosphere.

So far, third world countries have suffered the most

with whole villages and towns dying.

But now the bioscanners for Medican Research are failing.

They simply cannot keep up with the rapid rise

of ultraviolet radiation and.

People are getting sicker and the CDC estimates

over 2/3 of the population are now infected

with pollution related diseases, especially the poor--

What the?

We got him.

Send a unit to pick up the body.

- We gotta clean up this mess.

Who are you guys?

What's going on?

Hold this.

Cloud.

- How'd you guys know where to find me?

Don't flatter yourself.

We were actually tracking Emma's killer.

Oddly enough, it lead to your apartment.

Got an explanation for that?

I dunno.

That's when we noticed you being

loaded into the ambulance.

So we followed you.

This is Dr. Dave of the Wind's Clan.

He was asked to help out on

the investigation of Emma's killer.

Our old clan's leader.

- Um. - You guys actually met.

At Earth's training school.

Oh yeah, now I remember you.

How's Wind doing?

He's doing well, Master Cloud.

- Great, I heard that he's decided to move on with his life.

- That's right, he's waiting for us at the dock.

We should get going. - Great.

Four11's.

What do they want with you?

How do I know, I was just woke up here.

The radiation levels are spiking.

We should get going.

Great.

Oh, thank you.

You all right?

You all right?

The cargo is lost.

How's our son holding up?

- Weaker by the hour, thanks to you.

That cargo was the key to his survival.

Find it.

I don't want to start a war.

We can resolve this without violence.

- You've wasted years chasing this diplomatic solution

of yours and you have nothing to show for it.

And now, his time grows short.

If he dies, I promise you my wrath

will not be delayed or diplomatic.

- Our alliance with elements has had some setbacks.

But I'm confident I can get them to cooperate.

I just need a little more time.

I just--

You've cost us time.

There's not much left.

Retrieve the package, and coerce the elements to cooperate.

Our son's life depends on it.

And so does yours.

That needle shall remain lodged in you until he is saved.

- Sir, should I call the doctor like before?

Yeah, but later.

Not until our work is done.

We're too late.

There's no trace of anyone.

Okay.

You've gotten flabby.

Too many carbs?

Is that all you got?

Oh, Gold.

You better cool it down a bit.

You're the Gold that trained with us before.

You never know what's up Wood's sleave.

Out the old, come the new.

He retired last year and the elders choose me

to be the new leader of our Gold Clan.

I guess he found peace.

Now I'm the new Gold and--

Maybe your elders

are just trying to test you.

You talk way too much.

Little boy.

I will own you!

Okay, thanks for the update.

Whatever man, you know I could've

taken you out with one blow, right?

But you didn't now, did you?

Amateurs, I could have taken you

both out in a heartbeat.

Cloud called, I think he's in trouble.

I sent Dave of the Wind Clan and Water to lend him a hand

and keep him safe.

I want you three to go.

They may need your help.

- The current bioscanner devices from Medican corporation

are failing as both the radiation and air pollution

increase across the globe, with third world countries

feeling the brunt of it.

- People are getting sicker, they're dying because

the bioscanners can't keep up

and no one's unscathed, not even here.

Right, the entire population is infected

and 25% of that have already died.

You should constantly check your bioscanners and please

remember to stay indoors when radiation level peaks.

- That's right and politicians, they remain in session until

they can come up with a plan for the next steps to take.

Medican's stocks plunge

as news emerges of Congress

calling for a grand jury investigation of their bioscanners.

- And current Medican CEO, Mr. Steve Costa,

he's received billions from countries around the world

to develop an advanced upgrade to those bioscanners,

but so far he's failed to deliver.
