Scene inspired in her "Time's Thunder" AU idea Time's Thunder AU idea
Raiden doesn't have a good time when Kronika is defeated. He lost Karen Barrett, who he considered his soulmate, and he blames himself for not attempting to save her sooner. Although Karen died to derail Kronika's plans, the resulting reset meant that Raiden had no one to talk to about this subject for a long while.
Visibly shaken by the many times he fought against Liu Kang and heartbroken by Karen's death, Raiden becomes Keeper of Time in Kronika's place.
He felt that he had to purge all of his human emotions to control time and destiny without prejudice. Summoning his most potent magic, he attempted to burn away all feelings in him. Karen's spirit consoles the Thunder God from the Hourglass, telling him that the logical choice was often not the just choice. Her words cause him to cease the spell he was casting on himself.
It has been some time since Kronika's defeat. Raiden is maintaining the new timeline, having undone the Titan's meddling. Howe and inspired by the last talk Madoka and Homura have in the Madoka Magica anime www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdRTUT…
