Ah, it is Sunday night at the Mortal Kombat mansion. The evening match had been finished by a TKO and everything was peaceful and quiet.
"AAAAAAAA! THE KOINS ARE GONE! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Shao Kahn screamed in terror, his shrieks upsetting the nightly wildlife and making Mt. Midway erupt prematurely
"How are the Koins gone? I just went to the Kash Kolosseum last week and got our weekly shipment!" Shao's second in command Raiden exclaimed as the MK manager sat on his throne massaging thepounding pulsating veins on his head.
"Oohhhh... This is sooo not good. Its been only a year or two since our latest game. What are we to do?" Shao whined pathetically, Noob playing a mournful melody on the worlds tiniest violin.
"Well, the locals seem to have plenty of Koins. Perhaps we could..." Kotal offered, earning a slap upside the head
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! We do NOT robthe villagers! Need I remind you of last year's Angry Mob riot when Goro had the brilliantidea of stealing 50,000 Koins from the childrens fund?" Shao inquired furiously, Baraka
and Stryker shudderingat the memory.
"Be that as it may, we mustfind a solution by October or we'll have no choice but to forfeit the tournament" Kung Lao warned
"What if we send two teams into the realms to search and scavenge enough Koins? That way we'll be able to enter the tournament!" Sonya offered, earning roars of approval
"I like your creativity, General Blade" Shao stated, a hopeful smile on his face. "So be it! The tag team assignment starts tomorrow at the crack of dawn! And remember: you all have 31 days til October. Happy hunting!" Kahn announced, pounding his gavel,
ending the meeting
"Ey, boss?" Baraka asked, tapping Kahn on the shoulder. "Yes?" Shao responded. "Uhmmm... You aint suggestin we go to the Tarkanan territories right? They havent been very thrilled since I up and joined youse" Baraka replied
"Do not bother. We wont be going there" Shao calmly answered, Baraka sighing in relief
"... We'll be going to Onaga's Realm" Shao added, all the color quickly draining from Barakas body leaving him in a mortified white pallor.
The tranquil night sky was once more disrupted by a bloodcurdling scream of horror, causing irate shouts from restless villagers and resulting in Mt. Saibot erupting again, causing a large lava boulder to crush an unwary Kano.
"Toastyyy!" The Toasty Guy chimed flamboyantly
