Following the death of Blaze by Shao Kahn, all warriors from the realms have been destroyed, leaving only Raiden and Outworld emperor Shao Kahn remaining. A mortally wounded Raiden, about to be killed by Shao Kahn, sends a message to his younger self through his amulet with the message saying that ”he must win.”

During the events of the first tournament, Raiden sees visions of the future due to the message he received. Raiden concludes that Liu Kang must win the tournament to save Earthrealm. During the tournament, Liu Kang becomes the only remaining Earthrealm contender, due in part to Scorpion’s murder of Bi-Han, in retaliation for the latter’s murder of the Shirai Ryu clan some years earlier. Liu Kang is successful in defeating the Shokan Prince Goro, as well as Shang Tsung. Raiden’s amulet, however, cracks, a sign that future events are unchanged. Disappointed with the sorcerer’s failure, emperor Shao Kahn orders Shang Tsung’s execution, but is convinced otherwise when the sorcerer suggests holding the second tournament in Outworld. Though initially refusing, Raiden relents when tarkatans invade Earth and Shang Tsung threatens to unleash all of Outworld’s armies upon Earthrealm.

During the second tournament, Kuai Liang, the younger brother of Bi-Han, the original Sub-Zero, and Smoke arrive to avenge the elder Sub-Zero. They are followed by Lin Kuei cyber assassins Sektor and Cyrax who are tasked with retrieving the rogue ninjas for cybernetic conversion. Raiden changes the timeline by rescuing Smoke, but Kuai Liang is cyberized instead. Kitana, a long time servant of her father Shao Kahn, is compelled to join Earthrealm’s fight after learning of the existence of her clone Mileena, created by Shang Tsung on Shao Kahn’s orders, with Jade, Kitana’s childhood friend, joining her later. In a bid to save Earth, Raiden substitutes Kung Lao in place of Liu Kang during the tournament. Kung Lao is subsequently killed with Liu Kang retaliating and mortally wounding the emperor in a fit of rage. Raiden’s amulet continues to deteroriate and he becomes increasingly concerned.

Shao Kahn is healed by sorcerer Quan Chi of the Netherrealm, at which point, the two realms enter into an alliance. Quan Chi also revives Shao Kahn’s wife, Sindel. In doing so, the ward that prevents Kahn’s access to Earthrealm is nullified and a full-scale invasion is authorized. Raiden saves Johnny Cage from certain death by slaying the centaurian Motaro, and, joined by Earthrealm fighters Stryker and Kabal, attempt to stop Kahn’s invasion. In the battle, many are killed by Sindel, and Kitana is brutally beaten. Before Sindel can kill her, Nightwolf intervenes and sacrifices himself in order to kill her. Raiden confronts Quan Chi and realizes that ”He must win” refers to Shao Kahn himself; that the Elder Gods will intervene if Shao Kahn is successful in conquering Earth. Liu Kang, angered by the death of their allies, blames Raiden and goes to attack Shao Kahn. Raiden tries to stop Liu Kang, but ends up accidentally killing him with an energy blast. Overcome with guilt, Raiden surrenders to Shao Kahn, at which point, the Elder Gods intervene, imbuing him with their power, which he then uses to defeat Shao Kahn for violating the Mortal Kombat code.

After Shao Kahn’s death, Raiden vows to rebuild Earthrealm. Quan Chi, now shown to be an agent of Shinnok, reveals that the destruction of Shao Kahn and the weakening of Earthrealm by the death of their fighters was part of their plan to conquer all the realms for their own bidding.
