History
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero
After Raiden defeated Shinnok and stripped him of his amulet, he constructed a temple to house it and assigned Fujin as one of the temple's guardians. After the elder Sub-Zero set out to retrieve the amulet, he took on the god of wind, who was torn apart by one of his own tornados (but he survived).
Mortal Kombat 4
Raiden making Fujin his successor
After Shinnok's return, Fujin was one of the few gods of Earthrealm that survived and joined Raiden in battle with against the fallen Elder God. As seen in the tie in comic Fujin attempted to to defend the Eternal Palace from Shinnok's Army of Darkness and fell from the Heavens. He was saved by Liu Kang, Kai and Raiden, just before Shinnok's minions could finish him. Being one of the few remaining Earthrealm gods, Fujin joined Raiden in his battle against his old enemy, assisting the Earthrealm forces. With the wind god's assistance, the fighters of Earthrealm emerged victorious against Shinnok. Afterwards, Fujin met with the Elder Gods and they revealed that he had a new task. Raiden appeared before the wind god and told him about his imminent ascension to the pantheon of the Elder Gods. A new protector of Earth needed to be selected and the thunder god chose Fujin, who swore not to fail at the task.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
After Raiden's drastic change in mind, Fujin saw that, while he was still trying to protect Earthrealm, he had become far too ruthless and brutal. Now with Liu Kang's reanimated corpse fighting for him, the thunder god had made his zombie kill many innocent people for unknown reasons. Fujin joined forces with Kung Lao in the hope that they could find a way to free their two comrades together. The monk told the god of wind about Johnny Cage's gathering of the Forces of Light. After hearing of Cage's encounter with Shinnok, Fujin was suspicious of his seeming psychic powers and him defeating the fallen Elder God singlehandedly. Fujin was intrigued by Kenshi's mention of the two sons of Argus, Taven and Daegon. Fujin had been a friend of their family for a long time and had questioned Argus about the disappearances of the two. He realized the two demigods had been placed on a quest by their father, but evil had begun corrupting it. Fujin went out to find them in the hopes of holding back their progress, as well as find out the quest's true purpose.
In the Konquest mode, Fujin eventually confronted Taven in front of the Red Dragon Clan's hidden fortress. Fujin warned the demigod not to enter the fortress, even if it meant he would have to fight him. They battled, but Taven emerged the victor and continued on his journey though saddened that he had to fight a friend. Fujin later joined the Forces of Light during the Battle of Armageddon, where he was seen fighting Mavado and Darrius, before Argus's Pyramid emerged.
In Fujin's arcade ending, Blaze's power flowing through him increased his power greatly. With this new power, the wind god created a new realm from the fragments of the ones destroyed by Shao Kahn. It would act as a new base for the Forces of Light and Fujin assigned Kung Lao as his new general.
