This is just my understanding of what happened (I'm also aware that Shang Tsung kept disguising himself as Raiden throughout MK2 in order to try and turn Liu Kang and Kung Lao against each other). If anyone see's anything that needs to be amended, or any additions to the story please let me know.


I also just want to know the following things if anyone knows (or has any logical explanations/ideas): -

1. Where was Raiden the whole time Shang Tsung was pretending to be him whilest trying to turn Liu Kang and Kung Lao against each other.
2. How did Shao Kahn die and then reappear to resurrect Shang Tsung and co.
3. What did Johnny Cage do the whole time before defeating Goro?
4. How did the Black Dragon clan get into Outworld? (as the only portal mentioned was the one at the Wu Shi Academy ...... I'm taking it that Raiden opened up a portal for Johnny Cage and Jax to get into Outworld to rescue Sonya), and how did Liu Kang and Kung Lao find out they were they?
5. What happened to Goro at the end of MK1 and how did he get to Outworld?
6. How did Liu Kang and Kung Lao find out Johnny Cage and Kitana had been captured?
7. What happened to Kabal?

I'd greatfully appreciate any constructive replies and amendments.

Cheers
 
That's the whole story as of Shaolin Monks. I see you have alot of questions. That's good because Shaolin Monks MESSED THE **** out of the MK timeline, storyline, and all around everything-line in general. I don't believe a word out of it's mouth. As far as I'm concerned it's a "this might be what happened in an alternate reality". More fan-service than anything else. I don't know who they had working on the story but it has more holes than swiss cheese.

My suggestion? Ignore the story completely and just enjoy the great gameplay, terrific character/costume design, and great fan-service enemy encounters. For the real deal story-wise, just go by the bios/endings in MKII-Trilogy.
 
My perception is different it would be all like:

Scorpion kills subzero then leaves because he doesn't care about anything else, because thats a flipping awesome plot point.
And for some odd reason, noone dies in any of the other fights.
Liu kang gets to the final match of the tournament and then its all:
Shang Tsung: "LULZ, TO WIN YOU MUST BEAT GORO! THE CHAMPION!" and then Liu kang has an epic battle and defeats goro, and shang tsung is all "OH SNAP GOROS DEAD" and runs like a little pansy to outworld. Then, while everyones smooth sailing home, Shang tsung gives Shao Kahn his plan to lure them into outworld and have a tournament for VENGEANCE! Raiden leads the Earthrealm fighters to outworld, and they have to deal with all these new crazy fighters like Baraka and Reptile and Mileena and stuff.

and then I get lost.
