Epilogue: Raiden
Seeing the threat Esdeath posed to Earthrealm, Raiden set out to suppress the Icy General. Finding her was all too easy, as the war-hungry General had relished the opportunity to fight and kill a god.
As their Kombat commenced and thunder clashed against ice, the Thunder God had come to realize how difficult it was to defeat the Jaegers' leader.
The battle was long and taxing to both fighters, but Esdeath's hubris proved to be her downfall, and Raiden narrowly achieved victory.
All eyes were upon Raiden, while he watched in grim satisfaction as the light faded from Esdeath's cold blue eyes.
After turning away from the General's lifeless body, Raiden saw a multitude of onlookers bowing their heads in awe and reverence. Many of them, including Revolutionary Army higher-ups and Najenda of Night Raid herself, dropped to their knees and begged that the Thunder God take this World under his protection.
Raiden immediately declined, citing that Earthrealm alone was his responsibility. But as a token of goodwill towards the rebels' cause, Raiden offered a way for which the Elder Gods may level the playing field in the war against the Empire, and give the Revolutionary Army a fighting chance.
The Mortal Kombat tournament was then established, so that the fighting would be easily drawn to a close. But, the ever-scheming Prime Minister Honest had thought up a plan to tip the odds in the Empire's favor. He would use a certain Imperial Arm, to send an emissary to the people of Outworld, and speak with their leader Kotal Kahn.
Honest would offer the Kahn financial support and even Imperial Arms, to help rebuild Outworld's army. In exchange, Kotal Kahn will lend his strongest warriors, to compete in future Tournaments on behalf of the Empire.
Raiden foresaw this Deadly Alliance, and took action to counter it. At his behest, Earthrealm's greatest defenders shall join with the rebels under the banner of friendship, and fight alongside Night Raid in the upcoming tournament battles.
The ruthless members of the Jaegers and Wild Hunt will soon find themselves pitted against the battle-hardened members of the Shaolin, Lin Kuei, Shirai Ryu, and Special Forces.
