A/N: HEY! thank you SO very much for the reviews!!! I know this is a bit short but . . . I think I'll put up the next chapter soon (if you promise to review that is!). Also, I'm thinking abt changing my name from 'Liu Kang' to 'The Nav' it's a long story so if you get confused a bit . . . don't be!

CHAPTER I

The Whu-Shi Academy, or the Temple of the Order of Light as it was known before (correct me if I'm wrong at this) always was, and always will be the main training branch for Shaolin monks. It is located some where in China, it is also where Liu Kang was born, and where he was killed by Shang Tsung almost 6 months ago.

Kung Lao, one of Liu's students, was doing his regular Kata that morning. After the last tournament with the Deadly Alliance, he had to train a new generation of fighters along side the other monks and master Bo Rai Cho. Not only that, but Kung had to train himself up for the next tournament, he was still a student at training. If it weren't for Raiden and Kitana's help, he would've been dead by now at the hands of Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi. Now, more determined than ever, Kung needed to prepare himself for the up-coming threat of the Dragon King. Of course, he didn't know about that yet . . .

"Kung!" Master Bo Rai Cho shouted from behind the young monk, he had a bowl of something on his hands.

"Yes! Sensei!" Kung Lao stopped at last,

"C'mon in boy! Have some breakfast! And besides, by the looks of the clouds it seems like we have to train in-doors today." The Master directed his student inside the temple, the skies were indeed getting darker by the second, a storm was likely to fall that day.

On the other side of the world, we meet up with Johnny Cage, the famous Hollywood actor/director. But for some apparent reason, he was at the same arena where he once fought the four-armed shokan, Goro. And that creature was still standing before him.

"Finish him quickly! Don't waste your time," Shang tsung hissed from a distance. Laughing, what seemed like growling, the four-armed creature spoke, "This puny mortal will be no problem, I'll crush him with one stroke!"

"Alright," Johnny said, looking up at the beast, "Let's daance!"

"Okay! Tut utt tut tut tut tut tut ut tut tut tut tut, ut tut tut--" the beast began to sing the Mortal Kombat theme song with a normal 'human' voice!

"CUT! CUT! CUT!" Cage screamed out.

"This is SUPPOSED to be MY movie! Okay?! MY MOVIE!!! Goro DOES NOT Sing and DANCE after I SAY MY LINE!!!!! IT'S NOT IN THE SCRIPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Obviously, Johnny changed his skin color with all that shouting. A beep sound confirmed a halt at the background.

"Geez man! Take it easy! It was only a joke!" The cameraman called out.

Huffing out with his anger, Johnny walked out of the 'arena'.

"THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME we're doing this! Take 15 everyone . . . NO! Make it 30 or 100! We'll do this tomorrow!" The door shut closed from behind the crew.

"What a jerk!" The 'four-armed' actor announced.

Outside the studio, Johnny sunk his head on his limousine, "What jerks," He cursed at the crew.

"Where to now?" The driver asked.

"Home," Johnny responded with a sigh,

"I don't think so." The driver replied, turning his head from the seat to reveal his face.

"You don't think so?!" Johnny opened his eyes to see Raiden smiling at him from the driver's sit.

"Lambert if this is another JOKE I'll . . ."

"I'm not the actor who plays Raiden dummy! I AM Raiden!" those last words from the god of thunder followed white and blue electricity circling his eyes.

"Rayden?" a nod confirmed it. "Wha . . . what . . ."

"Never mind the 'whats, buts and hows' I'll see you and the rest of the guys two days later on this address," Raiden handed him a scroll, it contained the mortal kombat initial and some Japanese writings. Cage studied it for a moment, turning his eyes completely away from his friend and ally.

"Wa, wait . . . didn't we go through this like last year?" When Johnny looked up, no one was there.
