Chapter 2: It has Begun...........
Foreword: In our last chapter, the sorcerer Quan Chi, had joined forces with the evil Shang Tsung, in order to revive the legendary Dragon King's army. Later on, Kung Lao, an old friend of Liu Kang, was about to make a visit to the Mortal Kombat champion. But when he reached Liu's house, Kung found Liu dead and also a note with the names of the murderers............................................
The entire Heroes Council were making their way to the council room in the Mobian Place. "This meeting better be good!" Vegeta grunted. "Well, Anth said it was pretty important." Sonic said. Then Ryu noticed something. "Hey has anyone seen Liu Kang?" the Street Fighter asked. "He's probably out somewhere fighting." Lars answered.
When the Council entered the room, they found Anthony, Zindakku, and someone else they didn't know, were already there. "Hey, guys." Anthony greeted. The rest of the council acknowledged. "First off, I would like to introduce our guest." the Gamemaster said, pointing to the unknown person wearing a strange hat. "Greetings," he said, "I am Kung Lao." The rest of the council greeted him as well. "Secondly, you probably noticed that Liu Kang isn't here. That's because...." Anthony paused, "Liu Kang has been killed." The rest of the council was shocked. "Impossible!" Ryu shouted, "Liu Kang is one of the strongest fighters I know! He couldn't be killed easily!" "Unfortunately, he was," Kung Lao spoke, " I was going to visit him, when I found him lying in a pool of blood."
"
Well then, who killed him?" Link asked. "I could answer that." Zindakku replied. Immediately, he tossed a small orb to the middle of the council table. Instantly a holographic image appeared. It was very pale man in green robes. "Suspect #1, Quan Chi, a wizard trained in the black arts, he was a servant to a mad God, but recently it is rumored that he has joined the Dark Alliance." The hologram of Quan Chi disappeared, and a hologram of a bearded Chinese man, wearing red robes took it's place. "Suspect #2, Shang Tsung. He is a sorcerer he great power. He has the ability to change his appearance. But also," the hologram shows Shang fighting another person, defeating him, and stripping the person of his soul. The Heroes Council quenched is disgust when they saw the soul stealing part. "He is a soul stealer." Zin finished off, recalling back his orb.
"Also," Kung spoke, "I found this note where Liu was killed." Kung then handed the note to Anthony, he began to read it, it said,
To those who may it concerned ,
I, Shang Tsung, and my partner Quan Chi, have killed the Mortal Kombat champion , Liu Kang. If you wish to avenge his death, we challenge any of you in the form of Mortal Kombat. A ship will arrive at the docks of Nintendo City at 11:55 PM in three days . Be prepared. But one speculation must be upheld, Mortal Kombatants who have fought on Smash World's side before cannot, I repeat, cannot participate! We expect the best from you.
Yours truly,
Shang Tsung
Anthony finished reading it. He had a grim look on his face. "Damn, they made sure that the only people who could defeat them couldn't take their part in this MK tournament." "I know." Kung replied. "Then we'll take your place!" Anthony and Kung turned around to see the rest of the Heroes standing up. Sonic was the one who spoke up. "No get's away with killing a Council member!" the blue hedgehog said. "Are you sure? You'll be getting yourselves involve in a very difficult situation." Anthony said. "Nah, don't worry, Anth, how hard can a simple fighting tournament be?" Sonic said.
Next Chapter: The day has come to leave for the tournament, The Heroes, along with their friends and family board the boat to take them to the mysterious island where the tournament is held. There they meet the rest of the Mortal Kombatants, and Lord Raiden, who tells about the two sorcerers true plan.
