Time: First Mortal Kombat Tournament
The Elder Gods didn't like to interfere in the affairs of the different realms in the universe. But this time, it was different. At around the time of the beginning of the tenth Mortal Kombat Tournament of Outworld vs. Earthrealm, all of the Elder Gods, current & fallen, had received a vision of the future that foretold destruction. Sure, they knew Armageddon was going to happen, but judging from the vision, it showed Armageddon was just a few decades away, earlier than expected. So, the current Elder Gods held a meeting to discuss this new problem. There were only six of them. "I think we should just kill the combatants before they become too strong and numerous" an Elder God resembling an African Warrior said to his fellow gods. "It would just get rid of this Armageddon problem." Another god, resembling an Egyptian, added "I agree. We should just kill them and not worry about this anymore." Then, a god resembling a Native American said "No, we should let this continue as it should. Delia predicted these events in the past, so they were bound to happen." He said. The other gods stayed silent for a few minutes, until a god resembling a Greek spoke "Then we shall allow the current Mortal Kombat to continue and then see what happens." With that, the Elder Gods agreed and went back to watching over the realms.
The Netherrealm
The fallen Elder God was getting worried. He had thought Armageddon wasn't to happen until a few more hundred years. But, judging from the looks of the vision he had received, his mind old him it was a few decades away. He didn't have much longer to live. Now, he was thinking of ways he could avoid it. After learning about inter-realm travel from his most trusted ally in the Netherrealm, Quan Chi, he had learned how to create portals in between the realms without the knowledge of his fellow Elder Gods, even though it wouldn't work because he was banished there. While Shinnok was contemplating on how he could avoid Armageddon, a crazy idea came to mind. To confirm if it could work or not, he called on Quan Chi. When the sorcerer had arrived, he asked " What is it that you want, Lord Shinnok?" The fallen elder god replied with "Quan Chi, you know about the eventual coming of Armageddon, do you not?" The sorcerer replied "Why, of course. You have told me yourself. But it isn't supposed to happen until a few hundred years." "That prediction was wrong. I have had a vision recently foretelling Armageddon to occur within a few decades." The sorcerer was dumbfounded. " But how, you told me the Elder Gods thought-" he was interrupted before he could finish. " The Elder Gods thought wrong. They thought they could delay Armageddon by creating Mortal Kombat, but Delia's prediction was in the correct time and place as this vision. So, I have been thinking of ways to avoid it when a crazy idea came to mind." Quan Chi asked the fallen Elder God "Then, what is this idea of yours?" The sorcerer knew if Shinnok asked for his assistance, then the idea must be crazy. Shinnok asked "You know how you can travel through the realms with ease, do you not?" The sorcerer replied "Yes, but I don't see how this could help us with Armageddon affecting all the realms." Then the elder god proposed " I know, but what if we transport the Netherrealm to another universe?" The sorcerer again was dumbfounded. " But, how could that work? My magic only works for the different realms." Shinnok replied with "Yes, I know, but what if we used my amulet." The fallen elder god pointed to the amulet on his person, which was a fake because the sorcerer had the real one. "Shinnok, if I may ask, but how could using your amulet help with our idea?" He replied "If we combine my amulet with your magic-" Shinnok didn't finish because Quan Chi finished for him "Then we could open a portal large enough to move the Netherrealm to a different universe!" the sorcerer finished with realization. But then, he asked "But, how do you know if other universes exist?" Shinnok replied "I'm a former Elder God, so I still can do what they can do, which includes looking past this universe." Shinnok continued with "Armageddon is still a few decades away. You shall handle everything like how we planned it. I, in the mean time, will look through these other universes until I find one that could suit our needs." He finished with "Go to the next Mortal Kombat tournament between Earthrealm and Outworld and represent the Netherrealm for Outworld just like we planned. Bring your new hellspawn with you. The one he wants revenge on will be there." Quan Chi replied with a bow "As you wish, Lord Shinnok." And with that, Quan Chi left to retrieve his hellspawn. Now, Shinnok could get down to business to look through the other universes until he found a suitable one.
The tenth Mortal Kombat tournament between Earthrealm and Outworld soon began, and Earthrealm emerged victorious over Outworld. Shinnok & Quan Chi's plan had not changed one bit, but the vision that plagued the Elders Gods was still set to come true.
Time: Second Mortal Kombat Tournament
The Elder Gods were now starting to get worried. Even though Earthrealm had beat Outworld in the latest Mortal Kombat tournament, ensuring Earthrealms safety for a little longer, the vision they had received continued to stay true. They had held another meeting to continue to discuss this problem of theirs. The Greek, Egyptian, Native American, and African gods were there and the other two were a Japanese Samurai and a Nordic Viking. The African spoke first. "I still think we should just kill them." The Egyptian silently agreed with him. The Native American then spoke "No. Let them continue on. Maybe they will figure out a way to stop Armageddon on their own." Then, the Greek spoke "Maybe there might not be any to stop Armageddon. We have to start looking for other solutions." The samurai then said "I agree. Maybe we could save ourselves from our coming doom." Then, the Viking came up with an idea so crazy, only he could come up with it. "Maybe we could go to another universe." The other gods looked at him as though he was crazy. "Are you sure that is even possible?" the samurai said. Then, the Viking replied with "Aye, it is. If you use your powers hard enough, you can see there are countless other universes out there. We could go to any of them when Armageddon arrives." The other gods then tried to see if the Viking was right or not and, to their surprise, he was right. Then, the samurai said "Yes, but which one should we go to, when the time comes." The Greek smartly replied with "I can look through these universes until I find one that might be suitable for us. As for the rest of you, continue to watch over the realms." With that, they agreed. The Greek god started to look through the different universes while the rest went to look over the realms.
Soon, Shao Kahn had asked the Elder Gods if he could host a final Mortal Kombat tournament in Outworld against Earthrealm to see if he could gain control of it. The elder gods agreed. But, once again, Earthrealm had beat Outworld yet again in Mortal Kombat. But Shao Kahn wouldn't give up that easy. He resurrected his wife, Sindel, in Earthrealm so he could cross over to Earthrealm to reclaim her. So, he invaded Earthrealm. And then, the Earthrealm fighters once again defeated him. Then, Shinnok had invaded the now free Edenia to try and take over. But, Raiden and his Earthrealm allies had defeated him & sent him back to the Netherrealm. Because of what Raiden had done, the other Elder Gods had decided to turn him into one. When he was turned into one, he received the same vision the others had received.
Time: A few weeks before formation of Deadly Alliance
Raiden had asked the other elder gods for a meeting. When they had arrived at the meeting place, Raiden said "Brother and sisters. I have received a vision. A vision foretelling destruction and death. Do any of you know what this means?" he then asked. The Viking replied "Aye. We received the same vision around the time of the tenth Mortal Kombat tournament between Earthrealm & Outworld. We're already working on a solution, which is to go to another universe." Raiden replied "Something tells me that this solution will only apply to us. Am I correct?" The other Elder Gods nodded. "But we can't just leave the kombatants to die in Armageddon!" Raiden said with a bit of anger in his voice. The samurai said "But, we can't bring any of them. We only have enough power to bring us to another universe. Unless…" Raiden replied "Unless what?" The Greek then said "Unless you give up your elder god status when we leave and you can bring a handful with you. If you say you will do it, then we promise to let you bring some with you." Raiden then asked "How many could I bring?" The Greek replied "Four, no more no less." Raiden then thought for a minute or so and then said "Alright, I agree to your proposition." With that, the Elder Gods left to watch over the realms.
The Netherrealm
Shinnok had spent most of his time looking through the universes he could go to. Most of them were not very similar to most of the realms, except for Outworld. Then he found a universe that he thought him and his minions could blend into. The universe was very similar to Earthrealm and when he looked closer he discovered the name was "Remnant". So, he called for Quan Chi so he could ask for his opinion. But, he didn't show up. As a matter of fact, he hadn't the sorcerer ever since their invasion of Edenia. So, Shinnok used his powers to search through the realms to find. It was easy because Shinnok found the sorcerer in an alternate plane of the Netherrealm. Shinnok also discovered he was being relentlessly chased by the ninja specter, Scorpion. So, Shinnok decided not to get Quan Chi's opinion.
Then Shinnok went back to see if Quan Chi's magic and his own amulet would work together. When he tested his amulet, he realized it was a fake. He then searched relentlessly through the Netherrealm to find the real one, which was in the possession of Quan Chi. He had used the amulet to escape the Netherrealm and then discovered the undefeatable army of the Dragon King, Onaga. He then left for Shang Tsung's palace and propose an alliance so they could conquer the realms. Shang Tsung agreed and the Deadly Alliance was born. While this was happening, Raiden was thinking about who should he bring with him to the other universe the other elder gods talked about. He first thought he should bring the younger Sub-Zero, Kuai Liang. He was a very powerful and wise kombatant who always helped Raiden defend Earthrealm. So, he decided his first choice would be him. He thought and decided to make his second choice Scorpion, or Hanzo Hisashi. Even though he had worked for Quan Chi, Raiden still saw goodness in him when he vowed to protect Sub-Zero.
But he had to give up his position as an Elder God to fight the newly formed Deadly Alliance. Before he gave up his position, he asked the Elder Gods if he could still bring 4 kombatants with him and they said yes. After gathering the Earthrealm warriors again, they set out to defeat the Deadly Alliance. But it was in vain, because the Deadly Alliance proved too much for the kombatants. When Raiden was the last one standing, he challenged Quan Chi and Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat, and lost. But, the Deadly Alliance would not win because they turned on each other and Quan Chi emerged victorious. But his victory would not last either, as Onaga had returned and came for Shinnok's Amulet. So, Raiden, Quan Chi & Shang Tsung had joined forces to fight Onaga, but he was too powerful. Not even Raiden's godly essence could stop him. When Quan Chi arrived back in the Netherrealm, Shinnok informed him of the universe he had found and told him they couldn't go there because Shinnok didn't have the Amulet. Quan Chi informed him of who had the amulet. When Shujinko had defeated Onaga in Outworld and Nightwolf had banished him to the Netherrealm, Shinnok had received his amulet back and found out his plan would work.
He told Quan Chi he could bring as many of his allies as he wants with him. So, Quan Chi started to think about whom should he bring with him. The first kombatant to come to mind was Noob Saibot because he was still one of his most trusted servants. The second kombatant to come to mind was Shang Tsung. Even though he betrayed him while they were the Deadly Alliance, he could still be a powerful ally in the new universe.
