CHAPTER II

Rain down-poured that day like none other, all training and practice was held inside the temple for the Shaolin Monks due to the rain. And now, after a hard day of work, we find Kung Lao, his master Bo Rai Cho, and the other masters of that temple inside the dining room, eating their supper.

Kung was never really much of an eater, he preferred to go on fighting and training, training and fighting. That's what he believed, of course, his master, Bo would never allow that, seeming the fatty he really is.

Rolling his meat-balls on his bowl, Kung was really wondering about how his life changed after he met Liu Kang. Yes, the day when he first met the former Mortal Komat champion was almost . . . 8 years ago. He had received a letter one morning, from the Order of Light, saying that they needed him to come to China for basic training. 'What basic training' Kung Lao used to think, at that time he didn't knew that his training could some day lead to save the Earth. When Kung arrived at the Temple, Liu Kang greeted him. Kang said that they were the ancestors of a great fighter and his name was after that fighter, the original Kung Lao. Liu had told him about the tournament known as Mortal Kombat. For 9 months Kung Lao had trained under the Mortal Kombat champion, day by day they were becoming more like brothers than just mentor and student. That's when tragedy stroke; one day, while returning to the temple after some time on the city . . . Kung Lao found Liu Kang's body lay there, soul-less. The demon sorcerer Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi left the champion of Mortal Kombat dead.

"Hey! What happened to you?" Asked Bo Rai Cho, snapping Kung from his thoughts.

"Ah . . . nothing . . ." Was the response.

"Thinking about Liu again huh?" His master questioned, taking a sip of water.

"Yeah . . ." a smile formed on Kung's lips as he continued with his meal . . . but then again, the noodles that were in front of Lao swirled around like snakes, and the bowl seemed like a hole with which Kung was being pulled through. Suddenly, the whole room began to darken, the only viewable object beside himself was a dragon, a dragon growling from inside an egg. Screaming to get out, many priests then began to fade in, he was inside some kind of a shrine . . . a shrine made out of lava as if it was inside a burning volcano. The priests began to sing and chant a weird song, a scary and horrifying song which could led a great scare into the hearts of mortals everywhere.

"Kung?" Lao could hear another voice outside all of these nightmares, "Kung?!" he heard it again, the priests began to sing even louder, "KUNG!"

"AH! WHOA!?" Kung Lao was back in his temple again, it seemed as if those were only a dream . . . a weird dream. He breathed heavily.

"What troubles you my boy?" A master said to Kung, handing him a glass of water.

"N. . . no . . . nothing." Was the response.
