Cassie smirks. "Guess that means we'll have a little more catching up to do once we've sorted this mess out."
Her smile fades slightly as she continues.
"'Cause a mess is exactly what you've walked into. The bitch you just wasted is called Kronika. She's basically the Mistress of Time, and a huge control freak. She's got this obsession with making sure Good and Evil stay in balance, and Evil had been getting its ass kicked way too hard for her liking. So she decided to scrap the whole timeline and start over - which she's apparently done a whole shitload of times before.
"But before she did that, she took the past and mashed it up forward into the present for...reasons. Basically because she was looking for people that the future went badly for who'd help her gather the energy she needed to reset all of time. I dunno, seems a little extra to me - I'd have just put out an ad on Craigslist, but that's why I've got two daddies right now."
The younger Johnny Cage waves from the back of the room.
