The character Rayden in Mortal Kombat: the original story

In the game "Mortal Kombat" Reiden is one of the oldest and most famous characters. This immortal god of thunder and lightning spent his whole life dedicated to protecting the earthly kingdom from invasions from the Outward World. For the history of the game franchise, which has ten parts, he often fought with powerful opponents and organized a team of defenders of the world of people.

The beginning of history

Raiden in Mortal Kombat tried to protect the world of people even before the time when the best fighters of the Earth could defend their kingdom in the tournament "The Mortal Battle". At that time, the greedy elder god Shinnok penetrated the Earth with the help of an ancient amulet. The hero opposed him and prevented him from using people to build up power. The elder gods helped Raiden and endowed him with more strength. With their help, the Thunderer managed to overthrow the enemy in the Underworld, but the price was too great. The earth could not keep its appearance and for a long time plunged into darkness.

Union of Evil

Over time, the Earth was able to cope with the consequences of the battle of powerful opponents, and Reiden in "Mortal Kombat" took possession of the amulet of Shinnok. He hid it in a hidden temple and put the guard out of weaker gods.

During this period, the defeated enemy captured the Underworld with the help of the powerful necromancer Kuang Chi. They together began to look for a way to invade Shinnok into the Outworld. In this they were helped by the powerful sorcerer Shang Tsung, who discovered the secret of finding the temple, where the amulet of the evil Old God was hidden. For this service, he demanded to curse and resurrect Sindel, the wife of the brutal emperor of the Outward World of Shao Kahn, right on Earth. After all, then Shao Kan would be able to return to the planet and attach it to his possessions.

Tricky Kuang Chi sent the soldiers of Sab-Zero and Scorpio in order for them to obtain a valuable artifact. The ice ninja helped the forces of evil take him. Raiden could not allow Shinnok's return. Upon learning of the incident, he ordered the Sab-Zero to go to the Underworld and return the amulet to save the Earth from the disaster. The warrior coped with the task, but his soul was cursed. These reports were passed to him by Raiden himself. The received amulet, which as it later turns out to be false, thundered again.

While the struggle was on this front, Shang Tsung was already preparing to win in the tenth "Death Battle" tournament, which would allow him to capture the Earth. God of Thunder Raiden participated in this tournament under the guise of an ordinary mortal, but managed to win the victory of a skilled warrior Liu Kang.

New battles

Shang Tsung could not accept defeat and sent his army to battle with the surviving participants from the earthly kingdom. Raiden at Mortal Kombat at this time helped to contain the superior forces of the enemies, while Liu Keng did not prevail over the evil sorcerer.

The next clash of the thunderer and Shang Tsung occurred in Los Angeles, when he came to take revenge on Johnny Cage and kill one of the strongest warriors of the Earth. To help his companion in time came Scorpio with Jax and a new battle began. Raiden appeared to stop the fight, and demanded the cause of the invasion. According to Shang Tsung, it was a new Mortal Battle, which was organized by Emperor Shao Kang. The sorcerer decided to challenge the earthlings and invited them to participate. They could not refuse, because then they would be counted defeat.

It is known that the Thunderer did not participate in this battle and the soldiers of the Earth independently gained the upper hand. Only now the whole tournament was a bait, while resurrecting Sindel and discovering the path to the Earth of the power of Shao Kahn. The plan was a success, and the emperor of the Outward World managed to invade the planet. All the defenders regrouped on the territory of the Indian tribes and under their protection launched a new attack.

Raiden after the merger of the Outward World and Earth could no longer help the people. After all, now the planet was under the control of the gods of a different reality. To help earthlings protect their native land, he was forced to become an ordinary mortal. As a result, Shao Kang was defeated by Liu Keng, and the invasion was over. Once the Earth was safe, Raiden again became a god.

A new attack by Shinnok

When the Dark Raid in Mortal Kombat learned of Shinnok's new invasion of Heaven, he began to collect the best earthly fighters and teamed up with the ruler of the wind, Fujin.

Kuang Chi and the fallen Old God came with the help of the traitor Tanya to Edenia, and from there the way was opened upward. Shinnok's revenge on the elder brothers was a success, and Raiden and Fujin were the last surviving gods.

Liu Keng was able, in a battle against the main enemy, to send him again to the Underworld. It was possible to do this, because Quan Chi gave Shinnoku a fake amulet of power, but left the present for himself. After this victory, Raiden became the Elder God, and the title of the protector of the Earth was inherited by Fujin.

This was not the last battle of the famous character, and not always he managed to win. For example, near the battle of the pyramid of Argus, the resurrected Shao Kan managed to incinerate him. Although after this, the hero was given the opportunity to return to the past and fix the situation with the end of the world.
