As everyone appears on the roof top they see the magic portal. Everyone then sees shao Kahn begin to walk towards the portal as he sticks his hand through it. he looks at his hand for a moment before looking towards Y/N and Raiden smirking.

Y/N: Everyone be ready, He is here!

Everyone then get's into a fighting stance as Raiden walks forward. Shao Kahn then walks through the portal and infront of Raiden

SHAO KAHN: Ah, Raiden. You have come to your senses.

RAIDEN: Earthrealm's citizens suffer. Further resistance serves no purpose.

SHAO KAHN: All these ages you have fought me. You denied me my rightful claim. Not this time.

He uppercuts Raiden across the rooftop. Raiden lands hard on his back, his hat falling from his head. The scene briefly flashes forward to Armageddon, where the same happens to Future Raiden, before fading back into the present. Everyone watches in anticipation ready for the word to go forward and rush Shao Kahn

SHAO KAHN: The Elder Gods fear me now!

He laughs and picks Raiden up. Again the scene flashes to the parallel scene from Armageddon.

SHAO KAHN: Their pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer!

Kahn methodically pounds Raiden across the face, with the scene flashing between the present and Armageddon. In the present, Kahn throws Raiden across the rooftop and his amulet falls, shattering into pieces. Raiden lands on the very edge of the rooftop and Kahn stalks over to him. His hammer magically appears in his hand.

SHAO KAHN: They masquerade as dragons, but are mere toothless worms.

As Raiden rolls over, Kahn slams his boot into his chest. Again the scene flashes to the same one in Armageddon.

SHAO KAHN: I know you can feel it. It is the end of all things.

In the present, Kahn glows green with the energy of the souls he has consumed.

RAIDEN: Elder Gods, where are you? Why do you forsake me?

Shao Kahn picks Raiden up again. The scene flashes to Armageddon once more.

SHAO KAHN: Your time has passed.

In the present, he throws Raiden across the rooftop.

SHAO KAHN: Ages wasted in foolish resistance.

Raiden struggles to his knees.

SHAO KAHN: I have won.

RAIDEN: Yes... you have won.

SHAO KAHN: Now, Raiden. Your world ends.

Kahn lifts his hammer up and prepares to deliver the finishing blow. Before he can, golden lightning flashes before his feet. More flashes strike the rooftop around them, and from a portal from the heavens, six golden dragons fly out and around Raiden's body, lifting him into the air and revitalising him. But the light also drags Y/N, Kung Lao, Liu Kang and Kitana towards Raiden as they float near him. With a final flash, Raiden, Y/N, Kung Lao, Liu Kang and Kitana stands before Shao Kahn, their wounds healed and Raiden's hat back on his head. The dragons still surround them and when they speaks, everyone's voice is of the Elder Gods.

RAIDEN,Y/N,LIU KANG,KUNG LAO, KITANA: You violate our will, Shao Kahn. You merge realms without victory in Mortal Kombat. Our penalty is clear.

Everyone charges up a golden variation of their powers and blast them at Shao Kahn with it. It has no effect and Kahn laughs out loud.

SHAO KAHN: An anemic effort from ineffecualt deities. Today, I become THE Elder God!

They fight. The battle is truly epic, with neither the repowered Raiden or Shao Kahn getting any clear advantage for the majority of it. Even when Raiden switches Y/N then with Liu Kang then Kitatna then Finally Kung Lao do they see Shao Kahn start to become weakened For what seems like an age, the two titans with everything they have, but eventually the Thunder God prevails and knocks Kahn to the floor. As he struggles to his feet and tries to charge again, Raiden blasts him once more with the golden lightning.
