The Thunder God Raiden is the patron and defender of the Earth Realm. The Earth realm has been defeated nine times in Mortal Kombat and the only chance to preserve them from servitude to the OutWorld is to win the tenth and most crucial Mortal Kombat.

He sends a spell bound magical amulet to warn and guide the Raiden of the first Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat 9 retells the story of the first three Mortal Kombats with a warned and alert Raiden who has had a premonition of what the future holds unless he takes a different past.
