The only reason Scorpion had any care whatsoever if Carwood Lipton lived or died was because Carwood was aiding Sonya Blade. Scorpion fully understood that the World War II veteran had lived with them on Tabula Rasa and that he was currently not in his own time, but he was nothing to Scorpion now. He honored the past commitment he had forged with Sonya, but most importantly, Sonya was smart as well as strong. She could help Scorpion uncover who he must avenge himself upon, and THAT was one of the few things that mattered anymore.
Two Tarkata against one warrior who had not experienced the Mortal Kombat Tournament was too many. Scorpion appeared in another flash of flame right behind the two enemy troops, and was already spinning to deliver a viscous kick to the back of it's neck. The beast convulsed and gagged with the whiplash while Scorpion punched the other one between its eyes, sending it back a few steps.
For a fleeting moment, Scorpion's clouded pupiless eyes met Liptons'. It was uninteresting. His attention was consumed by making his enemies suffer. He resumed fighting the one he had kicked.
