Prologue: Calm Before The Storm

Hello! It's me...I know! Why do another story when I have the other ones to finish? Well...I thought it was easier to do this story since I played the Mortal Kombat 9 game which is Mortal Kombat 2011. I'm going to be separating the chapters of the fighters from the game into chapters so it's all not one big long chapter. So...I'm going to be doing a 6-way update to this story to start it off! So be greatful because I just do one update to a story! Anyway...Disclaimer time.

Disclaimer: I do not own Mortal Kombat at all! The OC appearing in this chapter belongs to Sakuraphoenix. So...yeah.

ENJOY! And this will be in Caleb's POV

It was the second semester of my Senior year. I already applied to three colleges but only two of them accepted me, but my mind was made up and I was going to George Mason University. One night, I was having a strange dream. It was some kind of vision, and I saw my girlfriend getting killed by Shao Kahn and Raiden sending a message back to his past self but...what are these visions I'm seeing? Are they from my future self? I need answers. Luckily it was the last day of school for me and my girlfriend was already waiting for me at my house. When I got back home, my girlfriend and I were suddenly transported somewhere.

"What's going on here?" I asked

"You and Naomi were summoned by the Elder Gods." Someone spoke while wearing a hat

"Wait a minute! Your Raiden!" I shockingly said, recognizing him from the Mortal Kombat games

"You mean the same Raiden from Mortal Kombat?" Naomi finally spoke

I nodded my head but we then faced the gods after they appeared

"You two must compete in this upcoming Mortal Kombat tournament." Elder God #1 said

"Or else?" I added in confusion

"Or else your world, Earthrealm and Outworld will merge together." Raiden spoke

"I'll do it!" I chirped

"If Caleb's in then I'm in!" Naomi replied quickly

"Raiden will pick you up tomorrow morning." Elder God #2 spoke

We then were transported back and went to sleep. During the night...I felt like someone was watching us but I didn't know who it was. Like some evil person but I was too tired to care at the moment. The next day, my girlfriend and I woke up and saw a figure...it looked like...Shao Kahn! We were thrown into the living room by him till we saw Raiden appearing. Shao Kahn grabbed us and took us back to Outworld. It felt like my own dinner was coming back up from last night. We then appeared in Shao Kahn's throne room.

"What's the big idea?!" I yelled

"SILENCE! I want both of you to work for Outworld but you need to prove yourself." Shao Kahn ordered

"Okay but...who do we face?" Naomi asked

I then face palmed at that question. Really babe... it's probably going to be Kitana or Jade or Sub-Zero, but who knows. I can't let Shao Kahn know that my girlfriend and I are really working for Earthrealm. I hope my acting is as straight as my fighting.

'Talk about wrong question, babe.' I thought

"Your first opponent is...Kitana!" Shao Kahn commanded

"I'll take her on!" I said while stepping up

"Sweetie..." Naomi spoke while worried

"I'll be fine babe. Trust me." I told her

Kitana then appeared. Her and I got into a fighting stance and waited. We then heard, "ROUND 1...FIGHT!" Kitana and I went head on but it seems like forever but in the end...I won the first two rounds. Talk about...A fan! I then chucked at my own joke there because it was from Annoying Orange vs. Mortal Kombat and that's a joke, Orange made...It was really funny to.

"That's how I roll!" I said as my victory line

My girlfriend came up and hugged me. I then blushed a reddish pink color but then we heard Raiden appearing and he...well...appeared from lightning. He then pointed his out to us and disappeared with us. Talk about playing on a lightning-go-round! That it made me feel like I wanted to throw up like Odd does in Sector 5. I then laughed at my own joke there for a couple of minutes and soon later...we were in Earthrealm. Talk about bad luck from the gecko! Odd would have loved that joke.

"How did you find us?" Naomi spoke

"That's hard to explain but now I need to prepare you guys for the tournament." Raiden said

"Let's do it!" I replied

From that day forward. Naomi and I have been training none stop. Not even pain would slow us down. Raiden and Liu Kang also helped us, which I didn't mind at all and neither did my girlfriend. During the training, I unlocked my power from inside which was a mixer of Ice, Lightning and Fire. I just hope that I don't miss school. WAIT! I totally forgot about that but never mind that now. My girlfriend walked up to me with something behind her back. She told me to close my eyes in which I did and she brought out a journal of some kind. Naomi then told me to open them, which I did and was shocked.

"Babe...What's this for?" I asked

"Something for you to do like I did in my Code Lyoko story." Naomi said

I then hugged her to which she blushed a very pink color. I knew that this was going to be a long tournament. I kissed Naomi on the lips, showing that I love her. The next day, Raiden and Liu Kang came up to Naomi and me. I got a feeling it has to do with the tournament. Maybe...I shouldn't fight in the tournament. I think my girlfriend will die at the hands of Shao Kahn. What do I tell, Raiden? No...I can't disrupt the timeline...Not right now anyway. But I feel it will get worse very soon. Can't believe I'm saying this but I really need one of Odd's jokes right now.

"I see that you're both awake." Raiden said

"Yeah." Naomi replied

"That's good." Liu Kang spoke

"I hope the Elder Gods made a good choice." I muttered

I then walked away and Naomi noticed it. She then ran after me to figure out why I was sad about the tournament.

"Sweetie, you okay?" Naomi asked

"I'm not sure anymore." I replied

"You can tell me." Naomi told me

"Okay! You got me." I said

I then explained a vision that I had. She was shocked at it before hugging me. I then blushed while being sad and Naomi noticed it. She knew what I was going thru since those visions.

"Don't be sad, sweetie." Naomi spoke

"You're right, babe!" I excitedly said

We then went thru years of training for the tournament. Raiden and Liu Kang were helping to train Naomi and I for the years. I was getting stronger each day by this training. It's time to win this tournament. In the future, before I received these visions. Everything was destroyed, the places were in ruins. Kung Lao, Kitana, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Baraka, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Stryker, Reptile, Cryax, Nightwolf, Sheeva, Kabal, Mileena, Sektor, Quan Chi, Liu Kang and Shang Tsung were dead while we are moving up the pyramid where my girlfriend, Raiden and I are fighting Shao Kahn after Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

"Where are the Elder Gods, Raiden? Their pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer. They masquerade as dragons but are mere toothless worms. My venom spreads. It is the end of all things. Armageddon!" Shao Kahn rattles

I then saw not only Raiden getting thrown and his amulet breaking but Shao Kahn killing Naomi right in front of me. That made me so mad that I...that I just want to kill Shao Kahn himself! No one messes with my girlfriend and gets away from it! He's messing with the wrong person now.

"No! SHAO KAHN! I will never forgive you!" I yelled very angrily

I then got up and fought Shao Kahn the best I could but was knocked back once again. I...I will never give up. Not now...Not ever! Shao Kahn will pay for killing my girlfriend. He will...pay!

"Stop!" Raiden spoke

"It is done. Your time has passed. Ages wasted in foolish resistance. Now is the dawn of my rule! Yes..."

Raiden prays about winning the tournament while I was doing the same thing. I hope my past self could win this tournament and stop Shao Kahn from merging our universe...Earthrealm and Outworld together. My past self has but only one shot to win the tournament to stop this from happening.

"Pray to the worms, Raiden and Caleb. As your world's ends!" Shao Kahn finished saying

Shao Kahn then swung his battle axe.

"He must win!" Raiden and I spoke

We were then killed by Shao Kahn. Montages of the past tournaments are seen. I woke up from that dream, and saw my girlfriend, safe. I breathed a sigh of relief that she was still alive, and still breathing. After that dream, I don't even know if I could fall asleep again. In the meantime, Raiden was with some of the other gods. Here Motaro is first seen...

"Lord Raiden! What is wrong?" Liu Kang said

"Strange visions..." Raiden replied

Raiden's amulet is broken a little bit while my heart starts to begin to be lonely. Something is coming but I think it's Shao Kahn merging our worlds after the tournament if one of us loses a match here. I can't let that happen. I guess I finally had answers on where I had those visions coming from. Raiden told me before we came here but I just don't know anymore. Maybe...I shouldn't fight in this tournament.

"Sweetie..." Naomi asked worried

"Your amulet!" Liu Kang spoke

"It's nothing, babe..." I muttered

"It's nothing, Liu Kang. The tournament begins." Raiden replied

Shang Tsung stood under the podium in the courtyard, at night. Kitana, Baraka and Jade joined his side. Raiden, Liu Kang, Naomi and I are with other fighters: A human Cyrax, Sub-Zero, Sonya Cage, Quan Chi, both male and female chameleons, ninja guards, masked guards, Kano and what looks like to be Skarlet with a wrestling-lookalike fighter.

"Kombatants, I am Shang Tsung! In the coming days, each of you will fight. Some are here of their own volition. Others were brought here by chance." Shang Tsung spoke

More like by threating to some people. I then saw Johnny Cage trying to flirt with Sonya. It was so pathetic for Johnny to do that. If he ever tried to flirt with my girlfriend...He's going to get it! Big time!

"Hey, beautiful. Johnny Cage." Johnny said

"Good for you." Sonya replied

"What, Massive Strike? Citizen Cage? Ninja Mime? None of those ring a bell?" Johnny asked

I then saw Kano walking out at the same time Sonya did. I knew how this game turns out so...I'll wait it out.

"Kano..." Sonya spoke

I don't like on where this is going for Johnny Cage in which I knew but didn't stop it.

"Kano? Wasn't in that one..." Johnny said

"You participate in the most important Mortal Kombat in history! This tournament, the tenth after nine Outworld victories, will determine Earthrealm's fate. If you defeat all of your opponents, you will face one final challenge...me." Shang Tsung told everyone

"That old geezer's the final challenge? They might as well give me the belt right now. They do have belts, right?" Johnny asked

I was about to go punch him when Shang Tsung teleported in front of him. Talk about a scare-fest but then I chucked at my own joke. Johnny Cage shouldn't have said that because it led him into trouble.

"What? How did you..." Johnny started to say before Shang Tsung interrupted him

"Appearances can be deceiving. Our first Kombatant will be Mr. Cage!" Shang Tsung shouted

This will be fun but I'm going to wait till the very last person to fight so...I'll wait this out.

There you have it! The first of the 6 chapters to this story. Who will be Johnny Cage's first opponent? Find out next time in MORTAL DESTRUCTION! This is Detroid434 signing out! Kan dao ni! Peaceout till next time!
