Biography:The Elder Gods were fully aware of the potential damage the alliance between
Quan Chi and Shang Tsung posed to the stability of the realms. Yet even with
this foresight, they all stood firm on their decision not to interfere. All,
that is, except for one…Raiden. The former God of Thunder pleaded with his
fellow Elder Gods to take action, but they refused. Disgusted, Raiden
relinquished his Elder God status and returned to Earthrealm to gather support
against the coming storm. Raiden returned to Earthrealm to reunite with his
comrades and inform them of the impending threat from the Deadly Alliance.
Those that accepted his call to arms were instructed to meet him on Shang
Tsung’s old island fortress, located in the Lost Sea. Once there, Raiden
explained in detail the dire situation that faced not only Outworld, but
Earthrealm as well. He then summoned Shang Tsung’s Nethership from the ocean
depths and with it transported them all to a celestial portal known only to
sorcerers and deities. They emerged in Outworld ready for battle.
Ending:Once again, the threat to Earthrealm has been vanquished. The Deadly Alliance
is no more. What dangers lie in the future, I can no longer foresee. Perhaps
the Dragon King will, in fact, return. Perhaps the depths of the Netherrealm
will spew forth a legion of Oni. Even the vampire people pose a threat to peace
now that Outworld is in chaos. But one thing is certain… Earthrealm must be
protected. I have abandoned my status as Elder God to aid these mortals… an act
defiant of the Heavens. I will instead remain here on Earth… as GOD OF THUNDER.
Current Status:Raiden is now fighting Onaga to protect the Earthrealm as well
as any other warrior who would willingly or not put Earthrealm in danger.
