I have wanted to do an MK fic for ages now, this fic will be a series of promos for a multitude of different characters from the MK universe, showing new back-stories for each of them, 31 characters shown in a new way (Although there will be a few chapters showing 2 characters).

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Mortal Kombat and I am making no money off this, in truth, I don't want to anyway

==Earthrealm, New Orleans, Louisiana==

In a small house in New Orleans, a young man waited in his living room, twiddling his thumbs, a doctor came down the stairs and entered the room.

"Well?" asked the man

"The baby is fine, but I'm afraid your wife didn't make it, I'm sorry" said the doctor

The man started to cry.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" asked the man

"It's a boy" said the doctor

"Healthy?" asked the man

The doctor hesitated to answer.

"No" said the doctor

"No?" asked the man

"I'm afraid your son has a rare medical condition called 'Ichthyosis Congenita'" said the doctor

"What's that?" asked the man

"It's a rare skin disease" said the doctor

"How serious is it?" asked the man

"I think it's better if you see for yourself" said the doctor

The man slowly walked upstairs and into the bedroom, his wife lay dead on the bed, the man heard a baby crying and saw a baby carriage across the room, he walked over to the carriage and looked to see his newborn son, the sight before him caused him to let out a blood curdling scream.

==12 years later==

The man was making some dinner, his son would be home soon from school. A 12 year old boy soon entered the house and sat at the dinner table , he was wearing a hoodie with the hood up.

"Hey Morgan, how was school?" asked the man

"Not great dad, people won't stop picking on me" said Morgan

"Well, forget about them, their opinions don't matter" said Morgan's dad

Morgan removed his hoodie to reveal that his skin was seriously cracked, to the point where they resembled scales, his eyes and ears were abnormally contracted and his teeth were as sharp as snake fangs.

"The insults are getting worse" said Morgan

"What did they call you this time?" asked Morgan's dad

"...Reptile" said Morgan

"That's horrible" said Morgan's dad

"I really don't want to go back" said Morgan

That night, Morgan and his dad went to the local cemetery to visit Morgan's mother's grave. Soon, they went to return home when someone pointed a gun at Morgan's dad.

"Give me your wallet" said the man

"Whoa, easy man" said Morgan's dad

"Shut up and give me your wallet" said the man

"Dad, I'm scared" said Morgan

"Be quiet kid" said the man

"Hey, leave my son out of this" said Morgan's dad

"Hand over your wallet or I'll kill your son" said the mugger, pointing the gun at Morgan.

"Don't you dare hurt my son" said Morgan's dad

Morgan's dad tried to wrestle the gun from the mugger, but the mugger was able to overpower him.

The mugger quickly shot Morgan's dad right in the head, killing him instantly.

"DAD!" screamed Morgan

Morgan looked at the mugger and pounced at him, knocking the mugger down.

"Get off me you little brat" said the mugger

Morgan, almost instinctively, bit the mugger's neck with his razor sharp teeth, causing the mugger to bleed profusely. Soon, the mugger lay dead. Morgan ran home and started to cry in his bedroom, but soon stopped and began to smile creepily.

==13 Years Later==

A young man limped away in the hallway, trying to escape from something. The man saw an open window and jumped out to escape, however, he was knocked unconscious upon landin, Morgan soon arrived and dragged away the man's unconscious body. Later, the man awoke in a poorly lit room. Morgan walked up to him and ripped the man's head right off. Morgan walked over to a fridge and placed the man's head in the fridge. When Morgan closed the fridge, he thought he heard footsteps.

"Who's there?" asked Morgan

"Hello" said another voice

Morgan turned around and saw an elderly Asian Man.

"Who are you?" asked Morgan

"My name is Shang Tsung, and I am here to make you an offer, Mr. Syzoth" said the man

"What kind of offer?" asked Morgan

"There is a tournament held once every generation, the best fighters and killers ever to exist compete to become the Mortal Kombat Champion, I want you to join" said Shang Tsung

"What's in it for me?" asked Morgan

"Whatever you want" said Shang

"It actually sounds interesting, I'm in" said Morgan

"Wise choice, Morgan" said Shang

"Don't call me that, that is not my name anymore" said Morgan

"Really?" asked Shang

"I am...Reptile" said Morgan

That does it for this chapter, hope you enjoyed.
