A more in depth storyline for MK2 that I think mightve happened
OK, here's what I came up with. (Some of it undoubtly happened in the game while I added some stuff in.)

Liu Kang returns home to find the Shaolin Temples in ruin, he finds a few survivors which includes Kung Lao. Sub-Zero and Smoke show up and tell them of Baraka's attack. Raiden appears some after and tells them all of Shao Kahn's new plan and how they must take action. Jax and Johnny Cage also join Earthrealm's warriors after they are rescued by Earthrealm's warriors when they are attacked by Shao Kahn's men. Scorpion hears of Sub-Zero's return, and returns to Earthrealm and follows him to Outworld, not knowing he is not the same Sub-Zero who murdered him. The warriors are greeted by Shao Kahn who tells them the rules of the tournament and that the victor will decide the fate of Earthrealm. Liu Kang also eyes Kitana and an attraction begins between the two of them. Basically, they are rallied in the tournament. Liu Kang fights Shang Tsung again in a rematch of the last tournament which Liu Kang wins once again, but Shang Tsung is able to escape from being killed. Sub-Zero battles with let's say Jax which match Scorpion witnesses. Much to Scorpion's shock, Sub-Zero spares Jax's life here's where Scorpion begins to realize this Sub-Zero is not the one who murdered him. Scorpion has his own match against Reptile, which Scorpion wins. Johnny Cage is able to defeat Baraka, but Baraka notices Liu Kang and Kitana's attraction and hatches a plan. Raiden is able mentor Liu Kang as he has a match against Kitana, who is the emperor's adoptive daughter, however few know the precious truth about her. Meanwhile Noob Saibot watches the battles as Smoke is defeated by Mileena. Liu Kang fights Kitana which Liu wins in the end, he takes off her mask and is surprised by how beautiful she is. Raiden appears and tells Kitana the truth of how she is the daughter of the King of Edenia who was killed by Shao Kahn and how she is the rightful heir to the throne. Kitana believes this, but Baraka takes her hostage. Liu Kang pursues them. Meanwhile Scorpion and Sub-Zero get set to have their match. Scorpion and Sub-Zero fight a long and hard match which in the end Scorpion wins leaving Sub-Zero with a scar. Sub-Zero much to his surprise is granted mercy as Scorpion disappears. Scorpion vows to become the younger Sub-Zero's protector as a way of saying sorry for killing his brother. Liu Kang finds Kitana bound and gagged by Baraka and is now standing above a pit of spikes. Liu asks him why he was the one who attacked his Shaolin Temple. Baraka explains he was just ordered to do it, but he tells the bound and gagged Kitana the truth behind Mileena her "sister" is really a clone created by Shang Tsung. Kung Lao shows up and deals with Baraka long enough for Liu to untie Kitana. Using teamwork Liu Kang and Kung Lao defeat Baraka who goes running off. Kitana goes to confront Mileena, and in a long fight, Kitana kills Mileena and meets with Liu Kang again before going on the run from Kahn. Meanwhile. Jax is able to free Sonya, and also releases Kano, but he escapes custody. Raiden kills Kintaro and Shao Kahn steps forth to challenge Raiden, but Liu Kang intervenes saying he wants to challenge Kahn, Kahn accepts as he and Liu Kang duel. Liu Kang eventually comes out on top. Kahn does not die and orders his army to chase the Earthrealm warriors out of Outworld. Liu Kang and Kung Lao return to their temple and mourn their fallen brother. Liu Kang accepts this as part of his destiny as he and Kung Lao both know that the danger to Earthrealm is not over yet.

(I'll be working on some for MK1, 3 and 4 soon)

thats actually quite cool. but watch out, guys on here like mk2kungbroken and sub_one_niner will chew you alive for reworking the story. those guys have no imagination, and get really uber pissed when someone changes around anything mortal kombat. i love the story, but i'm giving you the heads up because those guys hound all over mk issues and they think they know it all. so don't be suprised if someone comes along that can't stand your story, and starts telling you the "REAL" story, (sarcasim) and saying your about retartded where you got that idea. they will bash you, and they won't give two rats asses. but you have my support dude. its cool.

That sounds pretty cool. I am constantly thinking up different angles to throw into the storyline as well. It is definately open enough for them to add tons of background and sidestory if they took the time to.

Personally I'd love to see a storyline where Quan Chi convinces the aging Shang Tsung to take part in MK1, even though the plan to reincarnate Sindel is already in place as a means of weakening Shao Kahns stance.

And don't worry, Vilmer is a little off on that warning, people like MK2KB neve really comment on threads like this and have never really bashed people in the past for it. He's probably thinking of threads where people talked about what the storyline actually was in the game, not threads where someone is proposing additional background story such as yours.

If you're talking about riddict's post with Sub/Noob where he was warned for posting spoilers without telling anyone, and he thought the stuff was a real possibility, in fact said everything as if it were canon, you again didn't notice everyone thought the concept was completely unrealistic. This post however from the get go is all about the "what ifs" and "might haves" which is cool.

In the future, could you also avoid making ridiculous statements like that Vilmer? It isn't very nice to post about people in threads before they read, and/or comment about something.

sorry mk2kb. but i just thought thats what riddict was doing, just posting his view. cause thats the impression i got. so it seemed to me you wer attacking him for it, so when i saw this, i figured i would warn dude about people on here who seemed to be bashing alternate storylines. maybe riddict just thought everyone was smart enough to figure that out. i dunno, his subject header just seemed to be put like that to grab attention. sorry , i just was seeing it a different way. i mean, you'all went at it pretty harsh it seemed. whatever, just don't see the point in ruining someones day. later

No once again you have very poor heuristic learning ability. Just coming on here to flame me, in every thread, is going to get you banned. Don't think it won't happen.
