  Mortal Kombat 9 (Story Summary)
  During the final apocalypse at the Pyramid of Argus, Shao Kahn is about to defeat Raiden. In a desperate last-ditch effort, Raiden sends a mental message back through time to his younger self during the first Mortal Kombat tournament: "He must win."
  Receiving these vague visions of the future, past Raiden attempts to alter key events throughout the original three tournaments (MK1, MK2, and MK3) to prevent the apocalypse. However, every attempt to change destiny backfires, resulting in tragic consequences—including the deaths and corruption of most Earthrealm warriors. Ultimately, Raiden realizes that Shao Kahn must be allowed to invade Earthrealm without winning Mortal Kombat, forcing the Elder Gods to intervene and strike down Shao Kahn for violating sacred cosmic laws.
