 Previously, on Johnny Cage Goes Back to the Future, the bad guys took a dirt map. Lots of bad guys. It all started when Kronika got her panties twisted over Raiden, Dustin, Shennop and decided to reboot time. The arc of the universe bends to my will. Of course, we weren't going to let that happen. I mean, not when old Baldi picked Shao Kahn and his goons to be on her side. A new era with them in charge? Talk about a total clusterfuck. I won't lie. Kronika's mashup of past and present had us by the balls. Looked like we were going to say, good night, Gracie. The new era draws ever closer. But luckily our merry band had combat kingpins, including yours truly. You had to kick ass, take names and not run out of bubblegum. Insecta babe lost some limbs, Kano got two tapped, and Geras now sleeps with the fishes. Tell you what though, Raiden given his god powers to Liu Kang so we could take down her timeliness. That left my mind blown. Still don't understand what old Thunderhead was thinking. I am merely Raiden now. I mean, sure, Liu Kang finished Kronika, but if we're handing out god powers to people, how am I not the better choice? As younger than you, I saw him be swear to tap that at the earliest opportunity. Ah, whatever. When it comes down to it, all's well that ends well. Or so Liu Kang thought. There he was at the dawn of time, having a little rap party with Raiden, when who should apparate in but the godfather of soul himself. Shang Tsung tells Liu Kang that he can't rewrite history without Kronika's crown. Now the only way to get it is to send him back to the past. Are we really going to trust our future to that soul sucker? Sure, why not? What source that can happen? If things work out, it will make for one hell of a summer blockbuster. I can see it now. Johnny Cage is Johnny Cage in Aftermath. Whoa, they're 90s dad.
