- [Donte] Mortal Kombat
has come a very long way. - [Conscience] What started
as a small passion project from the geniuses John Tobias and Ed Boon, is now a worldwide phenomenon. - [Donte] But with so many
additions to the franchise including the new Mortal
Kombat 11 Aftermath update, the story is longer
and even more confusing and we're sure there are
bunch of y'all who are lost, but just needs some clear
guidance on how this story works. - [Conscience] So this week
on "Honest Gaming History" as a last minute change from Donte, instead of covering Shang Tsung, we're covering the full MK story so far. Once again, don't see why
you couldn't just stick with Shang Tsung, you know
how wild this lore gets. - [Donte] I mean, you right, but Aftermath got me
all into the MK story, plus, we were bound to make
a lore video for this series sooner or later, so might
as well educate the fam now. - [Conscience] Yeah, but warn a guy bro. This video comes out tomorrow, you dead just changed the subject. (Conscience sighing) It's alright though, I'll get you back. - [Donte] Wait, what? - [Conscience] Don't worry
about it, play that intro son. (Tank! (NΣΣT Flip)) - [Donte] So, the Mortal Kombat lore begins with the One Being. An omnipotent entity that
took up all of reality. - [Conscience] The Elder Gods didn't really vibe with this dude, so they waged war against the One Being and created powerful weapons
known as the Kamidogu to shatter it. - [Donte] The One Being's essence was used to create the realms
we know today as Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Outworld, Chaosrealm,
Orderrealm, and Edenia. - [Conscience] And the six
Kamidogu that were created by the Elder Gods embody
the essence of these realms. - [Donte] As the Elder
Gods ruled over the realms, one by the name of Shinnok
let his greed for power overcome him and tried
to control Earthrealm, but Raiden with the help
of the Elder Gods beat him and he was banished to Netherrealm. - [Conscience] Overtime,
Outworld grew way too powerful. This was because somehow
the essence of the One Being possessed the first known
ruler of Outworld, Onaga, along with the conqueror that
overthrew him, Shao Kahn. - [Donte] Both rulers were
pressed on expanding Outworld by taking the other realms by force, so the Elder Gods created
the Mortal Kombat Tournament to give the realms a chance
to defend themselves. In this tournament, the
participating realms choose warriors to compete, if a realm gets 10 Ws in a row, then they're allowed to
conquer the losing realm. - [Conscience] Under
the rule of Shao Kahn, Outworld used their raw
power to beat Edenia and conqueror it, so the
Elder Gods safety measure only prolonged Outworld's conquest. These gods are friggin' useless, I swear. - [Donte] The next realm
on Kahn's conquest list is Earthrealm. For nine times straight,
these guys beat dog shit out of the place with their
champion, Shang Tsung. Then in the tournament that would decide the fate of Earthrealm, the Great Kung Lao takes
the win over Outworld. - [Conscience] But he gets beat
by Outworld's new champion, Goro in the next tournament, then Goro proceeds to beat
Earthrealm eight more times, so Earthrealm is once again in a corner, but this time the realm's
shitty ass protector, chooses Liu Kang to join the tournament. - [Donte] alright Conscience,
maybe we should chill with the Raiden jokes, people
are getting kinda butt hurt. - [Conscience] Man look, I love the fam. You know I do, but nothing and I mean nothing will stop
me from shitting on Raiden. - [Donte] Well aight then. - [Conscience] So with
Liu Kang as champion, Earthrealm beats Outworld twice,
with our boy beating Goro, Shang Tsung, then Shao Kahn
during the second tournament, but Shao Kahn ain't haven't that, so he invades Earthrealm anyways. - [Donte] Elder Gods? - [Conscience] With the
help of warriors like Sonya, Jax, and obviously Liu Kang, Earthrealm defeats Shao Kahn again and he retreats to Outworld, then Edenia reclaims their
freedom now that Shao Kahn is weak from getting his ass beat so much. - [Donte] But then, Shinnok is revived by the Netherealm sorcerer Quan Chi and y'all know how much
he wants Earthrealm. So, he starts by re-conquering Edenia, which sucks since as he just
kind of got their lives back, then goes for Earthrealm. - [Conscience] But the fire
Bruce Lee pulls through again and beats the former Elder God, then the god gets
re-banished to Netherrealm and Raiden gets upgraded
to Elder God status so he can be useless somewhere else. - [Donte] But as you can already tell, Earthrealm never stays safe for long. Quan Chi makes his return and discovers the legendary fallen army of the Dragon King Onaga. He's the guy that ran
Outworld before Shao Kahn in case you forgot. - [Conscience] Quan Chi
plans on reviving this army, to knock the Elder Gods
down from their pedestal and conquer the realms. - [Donte] But the guy can't do it alone, he needs the help of someone
just as evil as he is and being able to manipulate
souls would help too. So he enlists the help of Shang Tsung and they form a deadly alliance. - [Conscience] Before
they embark on their quest to seize all the realms, they gotta get rid of the two
people who could stop them. - [Donte] They start by
seemingly murdering Shao Kahn, then jump Liu Kang and snap his neck. - [Conscience] With everything
important out their way, they return to Outworld and begin to use the
souls of fallen warriors to revive Onaga's army. - [Donte] But they forgot about Raiden. He drops his Elder God status
to gather as many defenders of Earthrealm as he can to
stop Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. - [Conscience] But this useless ass god dropped his status for
absolutely no reason. Earthrealms forces got
overwhelmed and killed, the only being left to stop
the revival of Onaga's army is Raiden. - [Donte] So Raiden tries
to pull a last ditch play by taking on both Quan
Chi and Shang Tsung, but they beat him. - [Conscience] So this
man not only got everyone into a losing play, but he
couldn't even pull through in the end? Useless son. - [Donte] With Raiden defeated,
Shang Tsung and Quan Chi fight each other because they're evil. - [Conscience] Quan Chi
defeats the shape-shifter, but then Onaga comes marching in like, "What the hell are y'all
doing in my house?" Shang Tsung gets up, sees the dragon king and immediately attacks
the thing with Quan Chi. - Raiden regains consciousness too and joins the two sorcerers
in their fight against Onaga, but they're not even
doing chip damage bro. So, Raiden summons all
the energy he has left to try and kill Onaga, but it does nothing but take
out Quan Chi and Shang Tsung. So Onaga's alive and since the One Being is still within him, he
plans on getting all six of the Kamidogu to remake
the realms in his own image. alright, so a bunch of years before this, a spirit named Damshi came
to the warrior named Shujinko and gave him the task of
collecting all six Kamidogu. Now, because the spirit
claimed to be an agent of the Elder Gods, Shujinko
was out here thinking that he was using that
for the greater good, but this spirit was
actually Onaga in disguise. So, Onaga takes the Kamidogu
from the foolish Shujinko and returns to Outworld
to reconquer his realm. - [Conscience] Oh and y'all remember that useless suicide attack Raiden did? Yeah, he revived from it,
but he's corrupted now. So, the first thing he
does is revive Liu Kang and send him out on a rampage. So, you watched this
man die as an Elder God, which I guess you couldn't really help, but now you turn Liu Kang into this? Raiden, stop doing things. - [Donte] With most of
Earthrealm's defenders dead, there is not much that
can be done about Onaga. - [Conscience] But this time
the savior of the realms will be Shujinko. - [Donte] The journey he went
on to retrieve the Kamidogu, basically made him broken. So, after recruiting some
help, he shattered the Kamidogu and defeated Onaga. Well good shit Shujinko,
you caused a problem and immediately solved it. - [Conscience] Damn. You know who could really learn from that? Bitch ass Raiden. - [Donte] Damn bro, you're
really letting it all out today. Huh? - [Conscience] I mean, we're doing the whole Mortal
Kombat Timeline here bruh. Everyone's about to see
how he be messin' up. - [Donte] Okay. But do you have to keep
reminding the audience about how much you hate this man? - [Conscience] Yes, yes I do. Anyways, with Onaga defeated,
Earthrealm is once again safe. - [Donte] Until the NRS
team read over the MK plot and was like, "Where the hell
were we going with this?" Then we got Armageddon, an event where pretty
much the whole MK cast killed each other off. - [Conscience] The only
people left were Raiden and Shao Kahn. Apparently the Shao combat
Shang Tsung and Quan Chi killed was a clone. - [Donte] So Shao Kahn is
currently beating the god out of Raiden and it looks
like all hope is lost. - [Conscience] Until
Raiden has an epiphany and sends a message to
himself in the past saying, "He must win." - [Donte] Thus giving Raiden a redo at this whole protecting Earthrealm thing and also giving NRS another
chance to make this story fire. This brings us to the
rebooted timeline starting with Mortal Kombat 9. - [Conscience] We're brought back to the first Mortal Kombat Tournament that Liu Kang participated in. Reboot Raiden got hit by the
message of his future self and begins his quest to
try and fix everything, but actually mess everything up. - [Donte] I mean, he
didn't mess everything up, he did some good things here and there. - [Conscience] Fine, messed
almost everything up. So, the MK Tournament goes
on like the last timeline. Everyone's here for their own reasons. - [Donte] You have Sonya Blade trying to save her commander Jax Briggs, there's Scorpion, looking
to kill the first Sub-Zero, Bi-Han, for killing him and his clan, then there's people like
Johnny who's only here to flex. - [Conscience] Just like before, Liu Kang wins the
tournament by beating Goro, then Shang Tsung, but the
timeline still ain't fixed yet. - [Donte] Raiden lets it go for now and celebrates Earthrealm's victory with his allies at the Wu Shi Academy. - [Conscience] At the celebration, Shang Tsung shows up with an invitation to another Mortal Kombat Tournament, where the boss this
time will be Shao Khan. - [Donte] He kinda forces them to accept, then Raiden and the gang head to Outworld. - [Conscience] And this is
where Raiden starts messin' up. So for one, Smoke and Kuai
Liang, the second Sub-Zero, show up to this tournament
looking for Scorpion since he killed the first Sub-Zero, Kuai Liang's older brother. The Lin Kuei Sub's started doing something called the Cyber Initiative. It's basically this thing where they turn a bunch of
their assassins into cyborgs. It kinda sucks if you wanna
do anything, but be a weapon. So, Smoke gets caught by
the new Cyber Lin Kuei and Raiden saves him
which sounds good, right? But that leads to Sub-Zero getting taken and turned into a cyborg instead. Sub-Zero! Now, tell me folks, who
would you rather have? A Cyber Smoke or a
Cyber friggin' Sub-Zero? - [Donte] Man, you're really-- - [Conscience] Then, after that mess, Raiden confronts Kitana and tells her that he should
go digging in her father, Shao Khan's business to find
out the truth about her past. Now, I understand that
it's good for Kitana to find out about her past and all, but why would you tell
this girl to go mettle with that tyrant? You know what that man
is capable of Raiden? So, Kitana does what Raiden tells her and she finds out that her dad is actually not her real father. He killed her father,
married her mom, adopted her, then made a clone of her
mixed with Tarkatan DNA. This clone is Mileena by the way. Then because Shao Kahn is
Shao Kahn, he imprisons her. So, Liu Kang being Kitana's love interest, goes to rescue her and
Raiden uses this chance to tell Liu Kang's friend Kung Lao, that maybe this means that he must win and that decision leads to
Kung Lao going into a battle that he wasn't supposed to and getting his neck snapped
by Shao Kahn right after. Fuck ups all across the board my guy. - [Donte] Are you done? - [Conscience] Huh, yeah. Yeah, I needed that. - [Donte] May I speak now? - [Conscience] Hold on. (slap whamming) - [Donte] Ouch, what the fuck? - [Conscience] That's what
you get for changing the topic at the last minute, bitch! - [Donte] Asshole! - [Conscience] Yeah, yeah, whatever! Continue the story. - [Donte] So Liu punches
a hole through Shao Kahn for killing his best friend and that wins him the
tournament, but just like before, Shao Kahn's like, "Fuck the rules" and invades Earthealm anyways and guess what the Elder Gods do? Nothin'. - [Conscience] So the invasion happens and thanks to the revival
of Shao Kahn's late wife and mother of Kitana, Sindel,
a bunch of Earthrealmers die, including Jax, Smoke, and
Kitana's old friend Jade. - [Donte] Raiden pleads
to the Elder Gods for help and they obviously tell him to kick rocks. Then after Liu Kang
leaves him out of anger for all the screw ups he caused, the dude tries to ask Quan Chi for help. Quan Chi? - [Conscience] You see
how low you have to stoop when you're garbage? - [Donte] Quan Chi shits on him too, then Raiden has an epiphany, he must win, means that Shao Kahn has to win. If he enters Earthrealm
then the Elder Gods have to do something about it. - [Conscience] But with the
Elder Gods track record, this is a pretty risky gamble. - [Donte] And Liu Kang figures that too cause when Raiden tells
him the master plan, Kang's like, "Are you out
of your goddamn mind?" - [Conscience] So they fight about it and Raiden accidentally kills
Earthrealm's true protector. I don't think y'all are ready
for another Raiden rant. So, I'ma just leave you with this. Fuck Raiden son! - [Donte] So, Shao Khan
appears in Earthrealm after this like, "Whoa, what did I miss?" Then he proceeds to beat dog
shit out the Thunder God, but luckily the Elder Gods
actually do something this time. I know Raiden was like, "Whoa, I dead thought they were
gonna let this man kill me!" - [Conscience] So thanks
to the Elder Gods, Shao Khan gets got and the
Earthrealmers relax for a bit. - [Donte] But sadly Quan
Chi was in the background plotting to summon Shinnok this whole time and what really sucks, is that he controls the
revenants of all the warriors who were killed in MK9. So, Liu Kang, Kung Lao,
Kitana, Sub-Zero, yeah, all those guys and more are under Quan
Chi's control right now. - [Conscience] So Shinnok gets revived and he initiates his plan
of taking over Earthrealm with his Netherrealm forces. - [Donte] And he almost
gets away with it too, if it wasn't for that mettling Johnny Cage and his broken ass green powers and Johnny also somehow beat
revenant Sub-Zero and Scorpion during this time. Don't know how that happened, but it did. - [Conscience] Then after this, Johnny Cage and Sonya lead
a strike on Quan Chi's base. In the process, Raiden
is able to revive Jax, and now human Sub-Zero
thanks to Quan Chi's magic and Scorpion. - [Donte] And Sonya literally
busts Quan Chi's balls. It's hilarious. - [Conscience] This moves us
to the "MK X" comic series, where a bunch of important events happen. - [Donte] For one, Johnny
Cage and Sonya Blade have their daughter, Cassie Cage. She becomes best friends
with Jax's daughter Jacqui. - [Conscience] Scorpion, who
now goes by his real name Hanzo Hisashi thanks to his
revival restores the Shirai Ryu and trains the blind swordsman
Kenshi's son, Takeda. - [Donte] The death of Shao Kahn leads to Mileena ruling Outworld, but she sucks balls at that,
so a civil war breaks out and the Osh-Tekk Kotal Kahn
claims the Outworld throne. - [Conscience] Sub-Zero
beats the Cyber Lin Kuei and starts training warriors to form the new non-Cyber Lin Kuei and though this wasn't in the comic, around this time Hanzo met with Sub-Zero and he reveals that the
massacre of Hanzo and his family was all a part of Quan Chi's plot. So, this brought an end to
the ongoing feud between them, but now Hanzo really
wants to kill Quan Chi. - [Donte] 25 years after that
whole Netherrealm invasion, Johnny Cage creates a new
team under the Special Forces. - [Conscience] This team
consists of his daughter Cassie, Jacqui, Takeda and Kung
Lao's nephew, Kung Jin. - [Donte] And Mileena is
using Shinnok's amulet, the key to re-summoning
the fallen Elder God, to try and take Outworld
back from Kotal Kahn. Sonya and the rest of the Special
Forces find out about this and they send the new-gen
Earthrealm defenders to Outworld to retrieve the amulet. With the help of Kotal and his subjects, Mileena dies from insect
aids and they get the amulet. - [Conscience] But Kotal's like, "Sike, y'all woulda thought" and captures them while
keeping the amulet for himself. - [Donte] And it turns out the subject he entrusts to hold the amulet, D'Vorah, is actually working for Quan Chi and is on her way to hand it to him. - [Conscience] Luckily Sonya,
Jax, and the Special Forces are already on their way to the guy. They catch him slippin', but Hanzo shows up at the worst
time, ready to kill the dude to avenge his family. - [Donte] So, Hanzo pushes
his way through the good guys to get to the sorcerer, then gets his head ready
for the choppy chop, but D'Vorah shows up and
passes Quan Chi the amulet and somehow as Hanzo
proceeds with the beheading, Quan Chi chants the spell required to summon Shinnok once again. - [Conscience] Now awake,
Shinnok heads to the Jinsei so he can proceed with
his plan to corrupt it and take over Earthrealm. - [Donte] Bo' Rai Cho tries to
stop him, but he gets bodied, then when Raiden tries to stop him, Shinnok sends the revenant
forms of Kitana, Smoke, Sindel and yes, Kung Lao and Liu Kang too. - [Donte] Raiden handles everyone, but his two former students first. Then they attack him out of
anger for letting them die back in MK9. - [Donte] The 2v1 ends
with Raiden victorious, but he's not in good shape
after just getting jumped. - [Conscience] So, Shinnok holds him back and he also has Johnny Cage hostage, so he doesn't get hit by that
green energy bull shit again. - [Donte] Luckily Cassie
and her team come in clutch and she makes to Shinnok. - [Conscience] She
activates the same bull shit that her dad used and beats the Elder God even though she is a friggin' child. - [Donte] She's not a child,
she's like in her 20s- - [Conscience] Donte! This man is an Elder G and
Cassie dead just got here. She's a child! So, Shinnok is defeated, but he still managed
to corrupt the Jinsei, so Raiden goes in and purifies the Jinsei, but he gets corrupted in the process. - [Donte] With Quan Chi
dead and Shinnok defeated, revenant Liu Kang and Kitana
decide to rule Netherrealm. - [Conscience] Raiden
pays the two a visits and basically tells them that if they try to mess with
Earthrealm, he will end them. - [Donte] Moving on to MK11, Raiden is seen torturing Shinnok, then since he can't kill
him, he beheads him. After Raiden leaves his
little torture chamber, the Titan of time Kronika comes in, basically revealing herself
as the villain of this game. - [Conscience] Moving on,
Cassie Cage gets promoted to commander, then Dark Raiden shows up to warn them about Liu
Kang's Netherrealm army. Raiden wants to attack Liu Kang now, while they have the element of surprise and against Johnny's better judgment, Sonya agrees to join
Raiden on the mission. - [Donte] So, Sonya,
Cassie, Raiden, Jacqui, and a bunch of foot
soldiers storm Netherrealm. The attack is successful with them taking the
Netherrealm Cathedral, but Sonya dies in the process. Cassie and Johnny are
obviously hurt by their loss, so Raiden decides to not help
by telling them that she died as a warrior. Bruh, my mom just died. - [Conscience] Back in Netherrealm, Kronika appears to recruit
Liu Kang and Kitana in her mission to create
a new era without Raiden. They happily accept since
they're sick of the Thunder God just like Kronika is. - [Donte] Meanwhile in Outworld, the execution of someone
known as the Kollector, gets interrupted by a time
quake caused by Kronika. Past versions of a bunch of characters show up in total confusion. - [Conscience] One of these
characters being past Raiden, so this causes present Raiden
to kinda just leave existence. - [Donte] Another one of these
characters being Shao Kahn and he's not too happy about
Kotal sitting on his thrown. So, he tries to attack the new Kahn, but he fails and gets bodied. D'Vorah comes just in time to save him and his subordinates though. - [Conscience] Afterwards,
Raiden confronts Kotal Kahn and the Kahn tells him
that they were allies in the fight against Shinnok, but afterwards he got corrupted
and started wildin' out on all the realms he deemed as threats. Raiden then assures him
that that is not him, but y'all know Raiden by now, sooner or later he's gonna fuck up. - [Donte] Back to Shao
Kahn and his people, Kronika reveals herself to them and recruits them into her no-Raiden army. - [Conscience] They accept because they are also on
the fuck Raiden band wagon. - [Donte] Now back to the Special Forces, they're trying to figure
out why younger versions of Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, Jax, Sonya, and Johnny Cage are here. - [Conscience] Raiden gets a quick summary of how his future turns out
and Liu Kang and Kung Lao are told that Raiden
caused both their deaths. - [Donte] Oh and younger Sonya
was told that her future self literally just died, so
that makes things awkward. - [Conscience] Before
they're able to really talk about all this time shit,
Liu Kang and Kung Lao are tasked with defending
the Wu Shi Academy since it looks like Kronika's
people are messing with shit. - [Donte] They run into past
Scorpion and revenant Jade, beat them both, then run
into Kronika's lackey Geras, trying to steal some of the Jinsei. - [Conscience] Before getting to Geras, he sends their revenant
forms at them to stall. The hatred they have for Raiden, low key makes them feel
a little iffy about him, but they ain't got time for that right now cause they have to deal with
an immortal time warrior. - [Donte] They beat their revenant forms then lunge at Geras, but
he stops time and dips like a bitch, naw for real. Geras literally does nothing, but get beat then revive
until he gets the upper hand, but he still talks shit
like he actually does shit. Fuck outta here Geras. - [Conscience] So after this,
Hanzo and Sub-Zero join forces in the team up of the century
to put an end to the revival of the Cyber Lin Kuei. Since Kronika is tryNna to use
them for her end-Raiden army. - However, Kano, Erron
Black and future Kano use Sektor's damaged
frame to create her army of Cyber Lin Kuei, then even
later, Kronika persuades Jax to join her cause. Jax, a good guy. All right Jax, I get it,
your life was fucked up, some mummy dude took your
arms and your wife is gone, but how you just gonna
switch sides like that especially when your daughter is still on the good side? Even if you don't know what's going on, look at this lady son,
tell me she's not evil. - [Conscience] Later, Raiden
confronts the Elder Gods as he usually does, but
finds that place in ruin with only the one Elder
God, Cetrion waiting there. - [Donte] Cetrion reveals
that Shinnok is her brother and Kronika is their mother. When Raiden chopped off Shinnok's head, he ruined the balance of
light represented by Cetrion and darkness represented
by Shinnok in the realms. Kronika didn't like that, so that's why she is now
trying to create a new era without the Thunder God. - [Conscience] All this
might have been stopped if Raiden didn't wild out
and chop of Shinnok's head? - [Donte] I mean I guess, but
what else was Raiden gonna do? Shinnok was dead a threat. - [Conscience] He could have
sealed him back I the amulet. Nobody told him to keep it for himself. Quan Chi was the only dude we know of that could summon Shinnok
and that dude got murdered. So, if Raiden just locked
the amulet away somewhere, we'd be chillin'. - [Donte] Oh, yeah, yeah. No, your right. - [Conscience] Huh, so Raiden's like, "You won't get away with this Cetrion", but Cetrion explains that Shao
Kahn has captured both Jade and Kotal Kahn, so they
kinda have the upper hand. - [Donte] Meanwhile, the
re-reformed Cyber Lin Kuei attacks the Special Forces base and kidnaps both past Johnny and Sonya. After this happens, Raiden
takes the rest of the heroes to the Shirai Ryu Fire Garden, since that's the only safe
place to plan their attack. - [Conscience] The team knows
that they can't just leave Shao Kahn with Jade and Kotal, so Liu Kang and Kung Lao head to Outworld and assist Kitana in
overthrowing Shao Khan and taking the Outworld
thrown as Kitana Kahn. - [Donte] Cassie goes to
save the past versions of her mother and father and both Kano's get marked in the process. - [Conscience] Then Jacqui goes
with her father's past self to find Kronika's crown. They find it, but get
stopped by present Jax. - [Donte] Remember that present
Jax works for Kronika now, so he wants them to give him the crown, but past Jax can't have that, so he beats his present self's ass. - [Conscience] But Cetrion
shows up and snatches the crown and leaves with present day
Jax and he defends himself by saying that he's doing
this for his daughter. My man is stupid. - [Donte] Afterwards, we go
back to the god tier duo, Hanzo and Sub-Zero. They are trying to rescue
someone by the name of Kharon. With his fleet, they'll be
able to get all their forces to Kronika's base for the final attack. - [Conscience] Hanzo goes in alone and beats dog shit out
D'Vorah to get to the man, but then his past self shows up talking about how Kronika
will revive the Shirai Ryu. - [Donte] But after beating him, Hanzo states that he
already revived the clan and Kronika's plan
includes summoning Shinnok who is the person responsible
for killing their clan in the first place. After the clan's revival he
pledged to protect Earthrealm and he believes past Scorpion should honor that pledge as well. - [Conscience] As past Scorpion reflects on what Hanzo is saying,
D'Vorah surprise attacks Hanzo and poisons him. - [Donte] Scorpion sides with Hanzo and saves him from D'Vorah, but it's too late, the poison
is already doing it's work. - [Conscience] Hanzo tells Scorpion to enlist the aid of Kharon and find Raiden at the Fire Garden. - [Donte] Scorpion gets the job done, but once he enters the Fire Garden, he is forced the defend
himself against Sub-Zero then Raiden. - [Conscience] Raiden assumes
that this dude is a bad guy and starts wildin' out. Scorpion and eventually even
Liu Kang try to convince him to chill, but no, Raiden does exactly what
everyone told him not to do and starts using Shinnok's
amulet on Scorpion. - Bruh, but they told you. They dead told you not to do this Raiden. What's wrong with you? - [Conscience] So this leaves
to Liu Kang fighting Raiden in defense of Scorpion, then Raiden realizes that they're falling into Kronika's plan. Kronika has restarted the
timeline multiple times and each time she pit Liu Kang and Raiden against each other. - [Donte] Oh, so it wasn't
cause Raiden is crazy. Kronika's just a bitch! - [Conscience] Then as if
on cue, Kronika pops in, talks her shit to Raiden and
takes Liu Kang and tells Raiden to see her with the hands
without his problem solver. - [Donte] So, Raiden
takes all of his allies along with Kharon's fleet and
guns it for Kronika's base. - [Conscience] After bringing
Jax back to the good side and throwing Geras into the
depths of the Sea of Blood, Raiden gets confronted
by revenant Liu Kang, who has just absorbed the
soul of past Liu Kang. - [Donte] Raiden has
learned from his mistakes, so instead of fighting Liu Kang, he chooses to save him by
fusing with him and creating the Fire God Liu Kang. Not gonna lie, his makes no sense, but it's hype as shit, so I don't care. - [Conscience] Then God Liu
Kang bicycle kicks his way through everyone in his path
and gets to the boss, Kronika. - [Donte] But Kronika bitches
up and resets the timeline all the way back to the primordial age. So, here one of three endings happen. In one, Kronika, kills Liu
Kang and begins a new era. In another, Liu Kang wins, mortal Raiden somehow shows up and tells him that he is now worthy of being the protector of Earthrealm, then he begins the new
era with his girl Kitana. - [Conscience] However, in the ending that we're focusing on, Liu Kang begins to reset
the timeline with Raiden, but they get interrupted by Shang Tsung, Raiden's brother Fujin and Nightwolf. These guys were trapped
in the Void by Kronika and watched everything that
unfolded from the sidelines. - [Donte] Shang Tsung senses that Liu Kang won't be able to reset the timeline because he accidentally
destroyed Kronika's crown when he defeated her. So, the sorcerer proposes
that he go to the past to retrieve the crown, but wait, didn't Kronika reset the timeline? How do you now go to a
timeline that no longer exists? Wouldn't that just be a parallel-- - [Conscience] Donte! You're asking too many questions,
just turn off your brain and enjoy the hype. - [Conscience] Anyway,
Shang Tsung is known for being a snake in the grass, so Raiden is super against this plan. - [Donte] However, Liu Kang has a plan, so they decide to let Shang
Tsung carry out his plan with Fujin the Nightwolf. Plus Shang Tsung apparently
used to work for Kronika, so he should be able to
get the upper hand on her. - [Conscience] So the team
heads to the point in time where Kitana fought her father
for the throne of Outworld. - [Donte] Almost immediately after seeing that they can't get caught by anyone cause that could alter the timeline, they get caught by the Kollector. - [Conscience] Dumb asses bro! - [Donte] They beat the dude, then agree to revive and
enlist the help of Sindel, since she used to be a good guy and she has nothing to
do with what happened in the MK11 story. To get this done though,
they first head to the Jinsei to get some of the
Earthrealms' life juices. Then on their way to
Natherrealm to revive Sindel, they get captured by revenant Liu Kang. Revenant Sindel show up
along with revenant Nightwolf which makes there job a lot easier. - [Conscience] Nightwolf frees himself and the team beats both revenants, but in the process, Shang
Tsung gets hurt badly, so Nightwolf reluctantly
allows him to absorb the soul of the revenant form. - [Donte] They grab Sindel
and head to Outworld to enlist the help of Sindel's
former bodyguard, Sheeva. - [Conscience] Once she joins their cause, they head to the Soul Chamber
where they find Kotal Kahn healing from his spine injury
back when he fought Shao Kahn. - [Donte] Just like everyone
else who caught these guys, Kotal goes against them
because Shang Tsung is on their team. So, Sheeva holds Kotal back, so they can revive the
former queen of Edenia. - [Conscience] Once
revived, Sindel and Kitana have an emotional reunion,
then with the help of Sindel, the time scene squad heads
for Shang Tsung's island to retrieve Kronika's crown. - [Donte] They run into Jax and
Noob and after beating them, Fujin manages to help Jax see the light. - [Conscience] On the way off
the island with the crown, the run into Jacqui and past Jaxs, but they show that they
are allies and Jacqui and the Special Forces
actually believe them. - [Donte] Sindel then leaves
for Outworld to assist Kitana and they all agree to
reconvene at the Sea of Blood to attack Kronika. Oh yeah and by this point,
Kronika knows that Shang Tsung is interfering with the timeline, so she's planning on handling that ASAP. - [Conscience] Moving
on to the Fire Garden, back at the point in MK11 where Scorpion tries to join forces with the good guys, Shang Tsung appears
before him and Sub-Zero. - [Donte] Just like all the other times, they fight merely because
Shang Tsung is here. Fujin beats both the specter
and the ice assassin, then they get confronted
by Liu Kang and Raiden. - [Conscience] Fujin explains
the situation to them both, then Raiden wilds out as
always, ignores their story and pulls out Shinnok's amulet. My man, can you chill? - [Donte] So before Raiden starts a fight with Liu Kang again, Fujin beats some sense into his brother, then Raiden admits that
he was being stupid and they team up. - [Conscience] Kronika shows
up and reveals that Shang Tsung created the crown, then when
they refuse to hand it over, they use this avatar like team attack to force her to retreat. - [Donte] Now is when we
start getting to the twists. Turns out Sindel is actually evil and plans on reviving her
husband and ruling the new era with the help of Shang Tsung. So, yes people, unfortunately Shang Tsung did not turn a new leaf, he's still a fuck and they made Sindel a bad
guy in this timeline too, which honestly kinda sucks. - [Conscience] So Sindel finds
her former tyrant husband, but Sheeva finds her comforting him. So, Sindel beats Sheeva
to keep her mouth shut. - [Donte] Then when her people find Sindel standing over their leader's body, Sindel easily tricks these dumb
asses into siding with her. Worst soldiers ever! - [Conscience] Sindel revives Shao Kahn and everything starts going to shit. They ambush the Special Forces
and young Johnny Cage watches as Sonya and Cassie get
their asses handed to them. - [Donte] Then Johnny Cage
pulls off the biggest flex ever and tells Shao Kahn that
he's about to give it to him, but he gets shut down cause like, you don't just simply beat
the leader of Outworld. - [Conscience] Then the evil
couple ambushes Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Kitana
along with her people. - They take down everyone one by one, even their own daughter Kitana. Sindel even admits to
killing her late husband because of his weakness
and choosing Shao Kahn cause he was powerful. So, you're gonna choose the
tyrant over your own daughter? Yeah I hate this Sindel. Luckily, while this is
happening, Fujin, Raiden, Shang Tsung, the Special
Forces and Wu Shi Academy monks make their way to Kronika's stronghold. - [Conscience] As they attack the place, Shao Kahn and his people
make the most savage entrance of a lifetime, by entering the keep with Kotal's severed head. - [Donte] Then Shang Tsung
pulls his final trap card and tricks Fujin into
giving him the crown. - [Conscience] The sorcerer puts it on and transforms into his younger self. Then he pretty much
bodies everyone in his way and absorbs the souls
of both Raiden and Fujin to stop them from interfering. - [Donte] Oh shit, yeah, that might be GG. - [Conscience] Shao Kahn and
his wife then join Shang Tsung to confront Kronika,
but at the last minute, Shang Tsung betrays the couple
and absorbs their souls. - [Donte] So, with Shao Kahn
and Sindel out of the picture, Shang Tsung proceeds to
absorb the Titans' soul, thus finally giving him
full control over time. Wait, can Shang Tsung even do that? How does a god absorb the soul of a Titan? Shouldn't Kronika be way stronger? - [Conscience] Bruh,
this is Mortal Kombat, you know power scaling doesn't exist! So as Shang Tsung begins
to create his new timeline, God Liu Kang confronts him. Apparently everything that happened was according to his plan. - [Donte] Liu Kang knew
Shang Tsung would betray him, so he waited until this
moment for the perfect chance to strike, just like any good Earthbender. - [Conscience] So technically,
he low key pulled a Raiden by sacrificing the lives of
everyone for the greater good? - [Donte] I mean yeah, but this is Liu Kang
we're talking about bruh, he's got this. - [Conscience] Yeah, you right, you right. - [Donte] So here we get two endings. In the first one, Shang
Tsung kills God Liu Kang and rules over his New Era with Fujin and Raiden as his subjects. - [Conscience] In the
relevant timeline though, Liu Kang beats dogs shit out the sorcerer just like he did back in
the first MK Tournament, then resets the timeline. - Then he introduces himself
to the Great Kung Lao, the original Earthrealm
winner of the MK Tournament and the story ends with
Liu Kang telling Kung Lao that he will train him to
prepare him for the MK bull shit that's on its way and
that is where we're at with the Mortal Kombat Timeline. Honestly they just had
to make another game in the future. Honestly I feel the Aftermath
DLC of the Mortal Kombat storyline in a good place. Like when they make MK12
or whatever they call it, they could finally go into what happened in the original Mortal Kombat Tournament that Earthrealm first participated in. The one with the Great Kung Lao. I don't know about y'all, but
I'd be super down for that. Like we can get to all
the background MK lore that we don't know about, like who exactly are the Elder Gods, what exactly is this One
Being, all that cool stuff. So if you'd be down for that,
lemme know in the comments if not, tell me what your forward
in the next Mortal Kombat. I don't know what it's gonna be, honestly they can just
go into their future and talk about something
completely different or they can go to some random side story that we never talked about. So, yeah, this is what I want. I much rather have a Kung Lao story, but if we're not gonna have that, lemme know what you guys
want in the comments. So now with the main storyline done, I could use this as a base to make all these other
characters make sense for you guys and for me, honestly. So with that being said, end screen! (beep) Now, before I get into my
whole end screen spill, I would be a miss, if I didn't talk about what's
going on in the country today. So, if you didn't already know, which you should because why wouldn't you? The country is currently out of control because of just the
pure and blatant racism going on in society. All this sparked obviously,
by the the murders, not just deaths, murders
of innocent Black men caused by cops, the people that are supposed
to be protecting us. I just wanna say, this is not a situation that we can just like, let
go, like we all always do, like I notice all the time whenever something like this
happens, it goes in the news, it gets talked about for like a week and then we forget about it. No, no, no, no, no, no. We have to continue talking about this, we have to continue
speaking out about this and we need to unify in order to stop all this dumb ass injustices
because if we don't, then it's gonna keep on
happening over and over and over again and then years
like this are gonna repeat and we do not want that. So, honestly right now, I
just wanna do my best efforts to support my people and support the Black
Lives Matter movement and support everyone out
there that's fighting for our right to just
live in this country, cause all we wanna do. We just want to live and
we're not even getting that. So to help support because
I know not everyone of you can go out there and protest,
the Corona is still a thing and also these protests are getting crazy, so I know a lot of you are like
scared for your protection, so I wanna give you guys
the way to still help out from your homes. To help with that, in
the inscription below, I put a link to the Black
Live Matter movement fund. Now, I'm not forcing anyone to do this or anything like that, but I'm
just saying if you have funds and you were gonna use
those funds to donate to me, don't do that. Donate to the Black Lives
Matter movement fund instead, cause I feel like putting support in that is way more important now, than giving money to little old me. So, check out that link and don't forget, if you cannot donate, you can still help. Sharing a post about this
protest, positive post by the way, not negative post about
riots and all that shit, that's not helping us whatsoever. You can also educate
yourself on Black history with documentaries on
Netflix, books out there, there's a bunch of stuff
out there to teach you about what is really happening, so you know exactly why
we're pissed about all this. This is not some random where
somebody died and we got mad, no, no, no, no, no. This is over, 200 years
in the making people. This is 200 plus years
of injustices, racism, taking away of your rights
like it's just not fair, it's not fair, so educate yourself people, cause I feel like a lot of
people have opinions on this, but they don't know exactly
why it's so important, they think it's just something
simple, but it's not. This has been going on for a long time and we need to discuss this and stop it. We need to end this right now and you could use it now
to teach other people that may not know about this
stuff, because I get it, the schools didn't teach
everything about slavery and Black history and all that stuff. There's still so much
more that we need to know, not only because now we're just powered, we just didn't know about
the history of this shit. It's important and definitely
don't just follow me, there're so many other
brilliant Black minds out there who are talking about so much
about deferring the subject and I feel like you guys
should really take the time to listen to them. There're people on Facebook,
YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, all that shit. So, check out these people,
check out their pages, I think it's work listening to them and just see what they gotta say, you'll learn something new, I guarantee it and that's pretty much all I want say. So, thank you guys for watching the video, don't forget like if you enjoy it and comment who else
