Chapter 1:Warrior Of the Light
They had been sparring in the courtyard of the Shaolin temple. His name was Kung Lao, ranked second among his fellow warrior monks only to the Earth Hero Liu Kang who coincidentally was at the moment his sparring partner. The 2 men exchange bows of respect and took their respected Stances. At the moment Kung Lao had come to rely on his skill with the Shaolin fighting style, he arched 1 hand above his head in a fist while his other hung low by his left knee which was bent forward at almost a 90 degree angle. Liu countered with a Tae Kwon form, both of his hands shot forward, one of which was open palmed facing his opponent and the other open palmed bent in toward his own chest. With the speed of a true dragon Kang had opened with a bicycle kick aimed for the throat of his opponent. Seeing such a lethal blow ahead Kung strafed a few inches to his right and held his hands up to his side. The foot of the master fighter connected with the hands of his dear friend. Kung wasn't as merciful with his speed and predictability, instead of going with a trade mark spin kick he slipped to the ground in grace and preformed a sweep. "Foolish" the voice of the heavens shook the ground. Both monks turned to the sky and watched as a blinding ray of light shun down to a spot at the locus between the two men. And from the light came a man, or not a man but a God, thee God of Thunder to be exact. "Your fighting skills have diminished my friends, it has been many weeks since you last rehearsed such forms of combat. It is unwise to lack in one form as you strengthen another. But your skill is not my concern at the moment. I have come to inform the hero's of Earth Realm of a new threat to the future of humanity." Raiden's eyes flickered with a spark of electricity and he continued. "It seems the Oni have escaped from their position of exile and are seeking revenge on Mortals. I will gather the rest of my gladiators. Meet me tonight at the base of the abandoned Soul temple where we shall discuss these matters fully" and then he added " Kung Lao travel to the Out World and find the princess. I insist she attend our conference but my power diminishes with every second I stay in the Nether Realm" With that the Silhouette of such an omnipotent being disappeared and transported back to the heavens.
