Sub-Zero found the dying Kenshi and nursed him back to health. Mavado confronted Kenshi, defeated the swordsman, and left him to die. Unknown to Kenshi, the Deadly Alliance knew of his presence and sent Mavado to eliminate him. Kenshi soon discovered the Deadly Alliance and their plans, but was unable to contact the OWIA (which had been bombed by Hsu Hao). In gratitude, Ermac awakened Kenshi's latent telekinetic power, and taught him not only how to use it effectively in combat, but how to 'sense' the presence of people and objects around him. In his travels across Outworld, Kenshi encountered the enigmatic Ermac, and, in a moment of pity, broke the mind control that Shao Kahn had over him. His chance at enacting his revenge came when he was assigned to find the lost Cyrax, another agent of the Special Forces, in Outworld. After going through many tests and examinations, he was accepted to join the Outer World Investigation Agency. Kenshi's special abilities eventually caught the attention of Jax and Sonya who were looking for members with special talents to join their side and venture into Outworld Kenshi jumped at the chance to pursue the man who had deceived him. Kenshi spent the next decade or so retraining his senses, all while searching for his betrayer and the defiler of his ancestry. The sword originally belonged to a long line of great swordsmen from whom Kenshi descended the well where the sword lay was also the sacred resting place of the souls of Kenshi's ancestors, souls that were stolen by Shang Tsung. However, the sword, which actually did exist, attracted Kenshi and spoke to him, leading him from the tomb and revealing its origin. Song revealed himself to be Shang Tsung and proceeded to absorb the released souls and left Kenshi to die within the tomb. As Kenshi unsealed the well wherein the sword supposedly lay, he was overwhelmed by souls trapped within and permanently blinded.

One day Kenshi encountered a man named Song, who convinced Kenshi that a great warrior needed a great sword Song then led Kenshi to the location of an ancient, powerful sword Song claimed would befit Kenshi's power. He would find an opponent and defeat them just to boost his pride.

As a born fighter, Kenshi wandered Earthrealm in search of worthy competition.
