"Logan, are you sure we couldn't have just left them at home?" Kimberly Shaw asked her twin brother for the umpteenth time.

Logan didn't even bother to look at her; instead he just continued to play with the football in his hands. "How many times do I have to say yes? Why are you panicking so much?"

"My image…"

"Won't be affected." He finished her sentence.

Kim glared at him. "Right, because twelve freaky-monster-game characters following me around the school will go by unnoticed."

"Exactly."

Kim sighed as she walked towards the school with her brother right beside her. They were already late to homeroom but every time Kim glanced behind her it discouraged her from hurrying anyway. Just seeing twelve MK characters following her and Logan caused a pained look to appear on her face. She didn't want to take them to school; she had the image of one of most popular females to uphold. How was she to do that with characters like Reptile behind her?

Logan, on the other hand, didn't mind that much; it didn't affect his image as the superstar quarter back for his school team. Besides, he actually thought it kind of awesome because MK9 was his favorite game ever. So for him, he didn't see what his sister was freaking out about. And even if he didn't want to take them, he didn't have too much of a choice; their parents would be returning home from business trip around mid-day and seeing a group of strange people in their house wouldn't be the ideal welcome back present.

"This day isn't going to end well…"

"Don't bust a blood vessel, Kim." Logan tossed the football up in the air. "Have you forgotten the plan? Remember, their visiting from Europe."

The twin siblings opened the school doors and quickly headed down the hallway to their lockers. As they walked, the very few students still in the hall stared at them. This made Kim self-conscious and she tried to walked ahead. Logan ignored the people and continued tossing the football up in the air.

"I still say that plan makes no sense." Kim huffed. "Reptile, Baraka, Mileena, Sindel, NightWolf, Sheeva, Kabal, Cyrax, Noob, Quan Chi, Stryker, nor Shang Tsung look like they're from Europe."

"Are you kidding me? If I didn't know about Sheeva's past I'd really think she was born in Russia."

"Russia is in Asia…not Europe."

Logan shrugged. "I'm a jock, not a nerd. Name a country a Europe."

Kim rolled her eyes. "France, Spain, Greece, Germany…"

"Okay, if I didn't know about Sheeva's past I'd really think she was born in Germany."

"Right, because everyone in Germany has four arms and two toes."

"Exactly." Logan ignored her sarcasm as he usually did.

Logan and Kim approached their lockers and got the supplies they needed for the morning. The twelve Mortal Kombat characters talked amongst themselves until the twins finished and Logan snapped his fingers at them.

"Hey," he waited until he got their attention. "Were about to head into homeroom. Guess what that means?"

"We get to fight?" Sheeva asked.

"…close…try again…"

"We pray to our ancestors?" NightWolf asked.

"Getting hotter…"

"We get to utterly destroy these pathetic life forms walking around in the halls?" Sindel glared at a junior who was gawking at her.

"Yes! Wait…no." Logan paused. "It means we have to act normal. So don't use your powers or threaten to make people serve you in the nether-realm and all that other cool stuff. School isn't the place for that. Remember, you all are mine and Kim's cousins of an adopted family visiting from Europe. Any questions?"

"This Earth place is hot…can I take my veil off?" Mileena asked.

"Do you want Holy Water thrown on you?"

Mileena looked at him with a puzzled look on her face, waiting for him to explain himself.

"Because I can guarantee if you take your veil off someone is going to mistake you for a demon." Logan grinned and then turned to the others. "Any more questions?"

Reptile asked a question but in his language, which sounded like nasty spitting noises.

Logan shook his head. "No Reptile, you can't spit acid in people's faces."

Kim sighed heavily at the thought of what the day would bring. "My image is ruined…"

"Can I enforce the law?" Stryker asked as he pulled out a gun.

"…were not really supposed to have weapons at school…if you get caught with that I promise I will disown you." Logan glanced at his sister. "Alright, Kim is tired; no more questions. Let's go."

Kim watched in silence as her brother opened their homeroom door and walked in. The MK characters followed him in, each one with a different expression on their face. Kim, however, remained still in the hall, remembering the events that took place that morning…

"Oh my gosh…oh my gosh…oh my gosh…oh my gosh…oh my gosh…"

Kim backed up until she hit a wall and even then she pushed, still trying to get further away. Logan, was frozen in position, staring in awe at the sight of Mortal Kombat characters stepping out of their television.

"Wow." That was all he could manage to say.

Reptile, Quan Chi, Baraka, Mileena, Sheeva, Nightwolf, Noob Saibot, Sindel, Stryker, Cyrax, Kabal, and Shang Tsung stood in their living room. After twelve characters stepped out the tv that was struck by lightning, it set afire along with the Xbox360. All was silent except for those nasty noises Reptile made as he stared back at the twins.

"Where are we?" Quan Chi asked eventually. "Identify yourselves."

The twins remained in the position they were, not saying a thing, just gawking at them. Until finally Sheeva had enough and jumped in the air. When she came down the impact sent both Kim and Logan flying and they landed right in front of her.

"Who are you? What kind of trickery is this?" She demanded.

Finally the twins regained the ability to speak. I presume it was because of the fear they felt that a giant, four armed Shokan woman was towering over them.

"No tricks!" Kim emphasized. "You came here by yourselves…we didn't bring you here…"

"Oh my gosh…I always thought that move was over exaggerated…but it's not."

Quan Chi looked at them and then rolled his eyes. He made a portal appear and went through it…but ended up coming right back in the Shaw's living room. He looked surprised and proceeded to try again…and again…and again.

"Where are we?" He demanded after several unsuccessful attempts.

"That was so cool…" Logan looked like an amused child.

Quan Chi then used that cool move where he hypnotizes people and makes them come towards him. Logan was forced to walk over to Quan Chi and when he got there the pale man grabbed the football from his hands and crushed it. Then he grabbed him by the shirt.

"Where are we?" He repeated more stern.

"In my living room."

Kim chimed in. "Earth…you guys are on planet Earth…"

"Earth…Realm?" Shang Tsung asked.

"No…just Earth…it's kind of like Earth-Realm but more advanced."

"And if you run around punching random people you'll probably get arrested in this world." Logan added. "Mortal Kombat Deception…epic game…"

"What is this game you speak of?" Noob Saibot spoke finally.

"The game you guys were in…well not all of you…but you get the point…right?"

"Why wasn't I invited to play?"Mileena laughed creepily and pulled out her sai's. "I love games!"

"Well, to be honest you're teeth kind of deter people from inviting you to join any game…"

Sindel then interrupted them, in an angrily voice. She spoke with venom dripping off her tongue towards Nightwolf. "I thought I killed you."

Nightwolf turned to her with the same hostility. "Actually I killed you and sacrificed myself to do it."

"Lies."

"Truth!"

"Well, how about we pick up where we left off to see what really happened?" Sindel used her hair to grab Nightwolf.

"Ancestors give me strength!"

"No! No, ancestors don't give him strength!" Logan shouted causing everyone to look at him. "…give Sindel the strength instead!"

"What?" Kim looked at him shocked.

"I hate NightWolf; I prefer Sindel any day." Logan said seriously. "Scream Sindel, scream his head off!"

It took at least a good hour to get everyone calm again…and another good hour to gain control of the situation and get the MK characters to obey the twins will. Kim remembered in pain until Logan came back in the hall and shook her by the shoulders.

"Kim! You plan on coming in any time soon?" He smirked.

Kim came back to reality slowly. "Yeah…yeah…"

Nick and Connie stared wide eyed and speechless at Kim and Logan Shaw and the crew that entered behind them. The rest of the students in the class, which was about ten, also stared at them.

"Hey Miss Bane." Logan said with his usual cocky grin.

"Mr. Shaw…who might these people be?" Miss Bane looked concerned.

"Oh, these are my cousins from Europe. Their visiting for a few days and the principal said it was alright that they follow me and Kim around for the time being."

Nick leaned over to Connie and whispered in her ear. "Why didn't I use that?"

"Alright…if Principal Rose said it was okay." She still looked concerned but didn't push it. "Would they like to introduce themselves?"

Logan's eyes widened. "Umm…not really…their very shy and modest…"

"They don't dress shy and modest." A random kid in the homeroom said while looking at Sheeva, Mileena's and Sindel's clothing. A few kids laughed at the joke but when they saw the seriousness in Logan's eyes they stopped.

"They're from Europe." He repeated. "This is what their accustomed too."

Nick began drooling at the mouth at the sight of the three new MK females. "My precious…"

"You're a pig." Connie mumbled…while taking the time to check out Noob, Kabal and NightWolf herself.

"Well, why don't you introduce them for us?" Miss Bane insisted.

Logan reluctantly agreed. "Alright…this is Paula Abdul…Sarah Palin…Kimbo Slice…Mel Gibson…Nicki Minaj…George Bush…John Cena…Kobe Bryant…Mufasa…Obi Wan Kenobi…Charlie Brown…and Donald Trump."

All was silent for a few seconds until Stryker broke the silence. "I don't want to be Charlie Brown, why can't I be Kobe Bryant?"

Miss Bane decided not to ask any questions nor to push the topic anymore. "Okay…thank you…you may sit down now."

Nick saw Logan elbow Kim in the side and watched as Kim clenched her teeth. The Shaw twins told their 'cousins' to sit in any empty seat and then made their way to the last two seat available…which happened to be next to the Hale twins.

Connie leaned over to Nick and whispered in his ear then. "Thank God we let Chad take the MK characters to his homeroom."

"What? Are you kidding me? I'm regretting that right now!" Nick hissed back. "The fight scene that would've ensued would've been epically awesome…especially between the girls…"

Connie rolled her eyes. "Stop being stupid. Now, I don't know how this happened with the Shaw twins and the bad MK characters…but we have to keep ours away from them at all times."

Nick sighed. "Maybe…"

"Maybe? Nick this is serious, we have to figure this all out…"

"Nag, nag, nag…" Nick frowned. "I swear if you keep doing that you're going to end up like the crazy cat woman on The Simpsons."

Connie made a face and turned away from her brother before she gave into her urges to hit him upside his head.

"But seriously, you're right about one thing; we do have to figure this thing out before it escalates."

"Good idea." Connie nodded.

"So let me see if I can get some info out of these two."

"Bad idea."

Nick glared at his sister. "Thank you Mr. Skullhead. But shouldn't you be back on the animaniacs?"

Connie glared back at him but Nick had already turned to Logan.

"Hey, Wolverine."

"My name is Logan."

"That's what I said; hey, Wolverine."

Logan frowned but then smirked. "Hey, loser-that-failed-to-make-the-football-team."

"My name's Nick."

"Oops, sorry. I meant hey, loser-that-failed-to-make-the-football-team-twice."

Did I mention the Shaw and Hale twins were mortal enemies?

"I'm not even going to respond to that…anyway, what part of Europe are your 'cousins' from?"

"…Russia."

Kim facepalmed.

"You idiot; Russia is in South America!" Nick laughed aloud.

Connie facepalmed.

"Nick…Russia is in Asia." She corrected her brother.

Nick turned to her furious. "Way to go and make me look bad, Conster! You see? This is why I can't take you nice places! And this is why you can't have nice things!"

"You're such an idiot." Connie shook her head.

Logan laughed at them while Kim rolled her eyes and acted as if she didn't know them. Nick noticed and ignored Logan; instead he stood up and sat across from Kim.

"Hey, Medusa."

Kim didn't respond.

"Why are you acting like you don't know me?"

"Because I don't."

"Really? Because I know you."

"You don't know anything about me." Kim didn't even look in his direction.

"I know I'll turn into stone if you look at me." Nick grinned. "But I also know now, that you like Mortal Kombat."

Kim looked around the room quickly and sighed, relieved nobody heard him. She then snapped her head in his direction. "I don't what you're talking about."

"Oh, come on. Give it up. They're not you're cousins; they came through your tv…through a Mortal Kombat game that you own."

Kim looked at him shocked but then turned away. "…it's Logan's game."

"It had to be on two players for this outcome…two Raidens. Tell me, is Raiden you're favorite character too?"

"Shut up…you just shut up!" She hissed, careful not to alert anyone else in the room. "I don't know how you know so much nor do I care…but I do care about one thing. My image."

"Pfft, that's already ruined; you have snakes for hair."

She glared hard at him. "You keep your mouth shut about all this Mortal Kombat business or else you'll regret it…."

"Or else what? You'll turn me to stone?" Nick laughed. "Threats aren't enough to keep me quiet Medusa; what will you do for me?"

Kim clenched her teeth. "I won't make your life a living Hell…"

"It's already one…what else you got?"

"What do you want? Money?"

"Don't insult me…I have a closer relationship with Benjamin Franklin than you'll ever know."

Kim rolled her eyes. "Then what do you want?"

"Hmm…I don't know; let me get back to you on that." Nick stood up.

Kim grabbed his arm. "Then you won't speak of this?"

"No, ma'am." His grin told her otherwise but she chose to believe his words.

Nick walked over and sat in his original spot where Connie and Logan were arguing.

"So, you're telling me…a raccoon didn't maul your face…and that you were born like that?" Logan laughed.

Connie fumed. "Listen, you fire-trucking loon! I will maul your face!"

Nick laughed to and then proceeded to pat his sister on the head like she was a dog. "That's enough Con-Artist. I'll take it from here."

"Stop petting me!" She growled. "I'm not a Pitbull!"

"You look like one." Logan added.

Nick immediately took cover under his desk.

"Faaaaaalcooooooooooooon..."

"God help us all." Nick mumbled as he shielded his head.

Miss Bane stood up. "What is going on back there? Ms. Hale? Ms. Hale take a seat please." Miss Bane pointed to a sign on the wall that said 'No Falcon Punching' on the wall.

Logan stared smugly at Connie, who was doing everything in her power to resist finishing him off. Luckily the bell rang then, signaling the beginning of first period which was Gym for Chad, Kim and Connie and math for Nick and Logan.
