That was basically what I assumed we'd do if we were starting from the original, really. ^^;  Like, the same basic plot and universe but with a different cast.  But I'm fine with following on from MKX, even if that means I'll need to look into how that actually ends. XD

We can still just go with the alternate universe. The fact is, MKX is relatively new and if a lot of people haven't played it yet then it will be hard to base our story off of it. 

The idea of starting the story after the first MK makes sense, leading into the events of MKII. It would be much more accessible to people.
