Mortal Kombat 11 Story Summary – Chapter 2: Timequake
Kronika needs time and resources in order to complete her plan of totally resetting the timeline. There isn’t just a big red button for her to push, but she does have a big hourglass.
She decides to sow a little bit of chaos, and enlist the help of Mortal Kombat champions past, present, dead, alive it doesn’t matter. She sets back the current timeline to around that of the Mortal Kombat 2 timeline, and past versions of heroes and villains alike re-emerge, including a new Raiden who is unaware of the person he would become.
Everyone is understandably pretty confused. Shao Khan, for example, shows up and sees his former general, Kotal Khan, sitting on his throne and is not that happy about that. Their final confrontation will wait until later though.
More important right now is that past versions of Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana and Jade return and quite horrified by their fate. Although in their timeline they think quite highly of Raiden, they are a little freaked out upon learning they turn into vengeful Revenants.
Cassie and Johnny Cage, in particular, are also a little startled to see past Sonya Blade show up, and are forced to have an awkward conversation about her fate as well.
Everyone, especially Raiden and Liu Kang, are determined to not repeat history and decide to use this predicament as an opportunity to change their fate.
Kronika enlists the help of villains such as the current Revenants, Shao Khan, and a new champion of her creation, Geras, to help buy her enough time to finish her plan with the promise of a better fate in what she is calling, the New Era.
