They were defeated, but Sub-Zero strangely spared Sareena's life. She and her two partners, Kia and Jataaka, were ordered to kill Sub-Zero before he reached Quan Chi. The demon Sareena first appeared in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero as one of Quan Chi's personal assassins. I surrendered the object given to me by Sub-Zero. I am a demon of the Netherrealm, a servant of Quan Chi. He cast his dark sorcery upon me, returning me to my human form and showing me my true nature. The sorcerer knew of my allegiance to Sub-Zero and demanded to know the location of the Lin Kuei temple. There I was ambushed by Noob, Smoke, and my former master, Quan Chi. To avoid harming him, I fled to the depths of the Netherrealm. When Sub-Zero regained consciousness, he was confused and attacked me. The intense fight and the influence of the Netherrealm's dark energies caused me to lose control of my human apperance, and I reverted to my demonic form. They escaped to parts unknown, but not before rendering Sub-Zero unconscious. With the sides now even, we soundly defeated Noob and Smoke. I leapt from hiding and prevented Noob from killing Sub-Zero. When he was attacked by Noob Saibot and Smoke, however, it seemed I had made the right decision. But the realm's essence began twisting my soul, and I had second thoughts about disobeying him. Instead, I followed him - I could not bring myself to allow him to come to harm. He ordered me to wait for him there as he departed for the Netherrealm. He entrusted me with a small metallic object that would guide me and grant me access to the hidden Lin Kuei temple. My allegiance was strong, but Sub-Zero felt I still had much to prove before the clan would fully accept me. I swore to uphold the laws of the clan and protect it from any outside threat. Armageddon: 'I was given asylum by the Lin Kuei in gratitude for aiding Sub-Zero in the Netherrealm years ago.Now free, she has regained her mortal form and has pledged to Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei.'

This betrayal cost her human form and brought her years of suffering in the Netherrealm. Armageddon Bio Kard: 'Once one of Quan Chi's elite lieutenants, the demon Sareena had a change of heart, offering to help Sub-Zero to defeat her sorcerer master.She no longer needed Quan Chi's sorcery to sustain her exterior beauty.' Once in Outworld, she learned to feed off of the living aura of that realm to regain her human appearance. Sareena remained there until she discovered an abandoned portal that led to Outworld. She was transposed back into her demon form as her essence descended back to the Fifth plane of the Netherealm. Tournament Edition: 'The Netherrealm demon, Sareena, lost her human form in an attack from the fallen Elder God, Shinnok.
