The fic just loves making Call Backs and Continuity Nods to previous events in both Mortal Kombat and The Owl House or across time.
NOTE: The fic is for the most part completely in line with the two franchises canon with only small differences. Also, anything that references events that happened after Mortal Kombat 4 goes under Mythology Gag.
All spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!
