Prologue

Death.

That's the only word that could sum up the state of this world.

The Earthrealm warriors had failed, dead bodies scattered across the once sacred grounds, limbs hanging from various places and blood staining the earth permanently.

Raiden holds his own against the evil ruler of Outworld, Shao Kahn, but is falling. 'I must not let this happen!' he thought to himself as he sat in a kneeling position in front of Shao Kahn clutching his shattered amulet as Shao Kahn laughed at him.
"Yes, pray to the worms, Raiden." Shao Kahn mocked. Raiden started to chant in ancient tongue but instead of chanting for, what all fans of Mortal Kombat known as the time spell he chants, for the English translation, "Elder Gods,
hear me, please. I beg of you to give us another chance! Send us help!"

As Shao Kahn brought down his war hammer to kill Raiden, Raiden lifted his head and said as sparks enveloped his body, "He must win."

And the Elder Gods granted him the chance by giving this time periods Raiden's memories of the tournament to the past Raiden so he can receive visions at certain times. But also, they would send a hero and not just any hero they would send someone
not from Outworld or from Earthrealm. No, they would send a hero from a whole other dimension who knew how the tournament would end because to the hero, this was a game from their perspective. The hero would be kind, brave, beautiful and know
enough to help save the world.

They would send her.
