Chapter 1: Kombat Begins
I stood in my Kombat gear waiting for the host to say something. I was wearing simple gear: Grey running shoes. Comfortable black bottoms, a matching plain black leather jacket that I let hang open. A grey hooded short underneath and I had the hood up. To complete the outfit a black piece of cloth over the bottom half of my face to cover my features. A sword was in a sheath on my back.
"Kombatants, in the coming days each of you will fight! Some are here of their own volition. Others were brought here by chance. This tournament, the most important Mortal Kombat Tournament in history, marks the tenth of nine Outworld victories." Shang Tsung said. He had a certain air of authority about him, although it was expected from the tournament host. I was trying to listen but some douche in a blue suit was hitting on a blonde in a hot military outfit. I was waiting for something to happen so first kombat could begin.
"Hey beautiful, Johnny Cage." He spoke like someone who thought they were the centre of the universe. Now I recognised him, this big-shot who was just a failed actor from Earthrealm.
"Good for you." The woman scoffed.
"What? Citizen Cage, Massive Strike, Ninja Mime? None of those ring a bell?"
"Kano." The woman said thoughtfully. Following her gaze I saw a man with a rough beard and an open sleeveless jacket. He had two knives strapped to his shins ready for use. He also had a long black dragon tattoo going up his left arm. But that wasn't the strangest thing, he had a metal plate on the right of his head with a glowing red eye. He fought for Outworld.
"Kano? Wasn't in that one." Cage said, wrapped in his own world. I was still watching him when something the old man said caught my attention.
"-if you manage to get that far and win. You will face one, final challenge: Me."
"That old geezers the final challenge?" He said turning to the blonde as Shang Tsung teleported next to him. "They may as well hand me the belt right now. They do have belts, right?"
Shang Tsung cleared his throat causing the man to startle causing me to smile.
"Appearances can be deceiving." He began to levitate back to his seat. "Our first kombatant will be mister Cage!"
The 'actor' stepped up. "Alright, who's it gonna be?"
"Reptile!" Shang Tsung called. Everyone turned their heads to the ceiling on the left of where Shang Tsung's throne is. Reptile showed himself and stepped up. The monks began to clap as Reptile leapt in front of the actor.
"Nice stunt, who's your agent?" Johnny Cage said, still thinking the tournament was just a Test of Might
"Begin!" Shang Tsung said sounding irritated.
Reptile rushed forward and threw a right hook at Cage's face but the actor did the splits and uppercutted Reptile in the nuts! Reptile bent over clutching his genitals.
Cage then pulled his arm back into a fist and it began to glow with a strange green energy then shake. He then brought it down into Reptile's head causing the Saurian to slip to the ground unconscious.
"That's right, ha! No one can beat me! And I'm taking you down, you down, you out, you out an' I'm taking you out..." He stopped and pointed at the military woman. "For dinner." He smiled and she just scoffed.
I couldn't believe Reptile had been beaten so easily. I saw Kitana lean down and whisper something in Shang Tsung's ear, he nodded.
The next match will be Johnny Cage, versus newcomer... Khaos!"
I stepped forward to the edge of the platform by Shang Taung's throne, then jumped to the arena by Johnny.
Took my stance and waited.
"Fight!"
The actor took a defensive stance so I stepped out of my stance and relaxed. I raised my right arm with my hand in a fist and Johnny flinched. I chuckled as my arm began to glow a dark red causing Cage to gasp. A ball began to glow in my hand and Johnny watched, transfixed, waiting for something to happen. I then flicked my hand out and the ball of energy blasted forward and hit Cage. As it made contact and knocked Johnny down I began to run forward. As I neared him I raised my right fist and leapt into the air. As gravity took hold I brought my fist down and hit him right between the eyes, his nose began bleeding instantly. I grabbed his throat and lifted him onto his knees. He began gurgling and trying to pull my hands away.
Still gripping his throat I stepped behind him and gripped the top of his head. I looked to Shang Tsung, waiting for him to say it.
"Finish Him!"
I sharply twisted his head to the left with a satisfying crunch. I let go and he dropped to the ground, dead. Neck snapped. I heard a man cry out so I looked and saw Raiden, God of Thunder and Protector of Earthrealm wearing his classic blue and white robes and cone, straw hat. His eyes glowing white.
"Fatality!" Shang Tsung announced then stood up, " The tournament will resume at dawn!"
I stepped around the actor's body then stopped and knelt down. Raiden and Liu Kang began to approach me. I removed the actor's sunglasses then closed his eyes and replaced them.
"I fight for my father, and my realm. This wasn't your fault. May you find in death what you couldn't in life. Rest in peace Johnny Cage." I stood up to see Raiden with a blank expression and Liu Kang looking angry yet puzzled.
"I am glad you show respect for the dead, even if you were the one to kill them." Raiden said. Liu Kang was about to speak when I cut him off with another surprise.
"Lord Raiden, all dead deserve respect." I said as I bowed to the God. "He had the ability to be great, but instead used it for personal gain. I didn't want to kill him but where I was raised it's 'kill or be killed'."
"I understand, it is a pity circumstances aren't different, I'm sure you would have been a great fighter for Earthrealm."
"A pity." I replied sarcastically. "But I'm happy fighting for Kahn. Now I really have to go." He nodded and I walked away. This is going to be a good tournament.
AN: So what did you guys think? A little different from A New hero huh?
