Thousands of years ago... an order of the wisest men from the far east received visions of the dark realm known as the Outworld. It was a world ruled by chaos and a vicious Emperor known as Shao Kahn.
They learned that travel between the Earth and the new found realm would someday be possible if the conditions were right, the conditions being the unbalancing of the furies. Negative and positive forces which keep our unstable universe from collapsing onto itself.
Knowing that an Outworld invasion was imminent, the wise men appealed to the Elder Gods. It was for this reason the Elder Gods created the tournament called Mortal Kombat.
For nine generations Mortal Kombat was ruled by Outworld's finest warrior-prince Goro. The Earth was on the brink of its destruction when a new generation of warriors were victorious in defending its realm.
The warrior monk, Liu Kang, would become the new Champion. But his victory was short lived as he and his comrades find themselves lured into the Outworld to compete in a second tournament.
Little did they know that the tournament was merely a diversion. A scheme devised by the dark Emperor to break the rules set forth by the Elder Gods and witness the reincarnation of his former Queen Sindel on the Earthrealm itself.
The unholy act gives Shao Kahn the power to step through the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling him to finally seize the Earth.
However, the confrontation will be in a unknown world that no human has ventured in any realm, but in a small form in a big world...
I woke up from having a strangest dream. In sweat, I looked around to see I was only in my very own bedroom. I wasn't sure what dream it was, but I was in The World of Watership Down... adventuring with The Rabbits. Until a lightening storm came down upon the beech tree. An army of Efrafans are attempting to invade Watership Down, but with some unusual help. I saw warriors that are not even from our human world, most of them anyway. However, we had a few allies, beside me, waiting for "The Final Confrontation". Probably I was playing too much Mortal Kombat... I decided go back asleep, but couldn't forget about what I dreamed.
In the next morning, I had to get ready for work. At least I was able to sleep through, until the early morning. While I was getting ready for work, I was listening to a news station that there are storms heading towards California... or pretty much all over the globe. Not sure what they think, except they suspect another climate change. When I got outside to my car, everything was normal. I started up my car and listened to some country music on my way to work. Just as soon I got to work, I gathered my thoughts together, before starting a new day, as I was getting out of my weekend. I continued to watch the news a bit more until five minutes before seven that I punched in my clock and went straight to work.
Everything was going to be a typical, as the store opens for customers. However, until I was in my break. Something strange started to rumble just right outside the store. I went outside, as other people were exiting out of their cars to watch the skies changing colors from gray to dark red, "Armageddon" looking clouds. Everyone than started to feel bit unease, as very little started to panic. All the sudden... someone screamed, as a soul was taken, as the person disappeared into thin air. Screams shrieked, as people started to flee from the scene, as more souls were being taken and sent up to a portal in the sky. I hurried back inside to see customers' and my co-workers' souls are being stripped as well. As a few tried to flee, I could only do was hide in a storage room from one of the counters near Customer Service and hide there, until the screamings would stop.
It lasted until five minutes, everything was completely dead. I opened the door to see I was the only one in the building. It couldn't be The Second Coming. I looked around to wonder, what has happened. Just before I could head outside, a flash of lightening stroke repeatedly. Face to face... there was a man in a strange outfit with a strange hat, with a rod.
"Are you Thomas?" the man glowed lightening eyes.
"Yes... who are you?" I answered, before I asked.
"Do not be afraid, Thomas... You have been chosen to represent Earth in Mortal Kombat." the man spoke.
"Mortal Kombat? Not like the game Mortal Kombat?! That was just a game!"
"I'm afraid it's not a game. Be warned. Your soul is protected against Shao Kahn's evil-"
"Shao Kahn?! The Emperor of Outworld?! This is insane!" I doubted with disbelief and shock.
"Although your soul is protected, but your life is not. You'll be sent to a world that not many people are familiar, but you do. My fellow warriors would be there to assist you, as I'll be theirs and your guide. Good luck and these are the words of Raiden."
"Raiden... The Mortal Kombat character Raiden?! God of Thunder, Protector of Earthrealm?!"
I never got his answer, as he vanished. I was than being lifted from the ground being sucked into a portal. I couldn't react quickly, as I was being taken away. To where... only what Raiden has said, "to a world that not many people are familiar, but I do". When my head is at the portal everything went black and I passed out.
