Disclaimer: once again, I own nothing but the plot! And if you think I do, you need help.

(Scene: A random netherrealm gym.)

Scorpion: so here we are ready to.........(gets cut off by Rain)

Rain: Ummmm......... somebody forgot to give Pinklet his pills!

Pinklet: arggfcfs dsgfdgsf hgfddsfdtjfurterneteriybv gyu

Scorpion dials 911

Talking into phone: Yeah, he's at 666 netherrealm ave. sure, come pick him up right away!

Scorpion then hung up the phone and continued talking to Pinklet.

Scorpion: (to Pinklet) Don't worry, some happy people in happy white suits are coming to take you to a happy place.

Pinklet:dffffdsghty?

Reptile: okay, he's over here, take him away!

An ambulance then took Pinklet away.

Scorpion: So, as I was saying, we have been brought here to train for the next tournament, which happens to be a team tournament. And we are the ones that are on the very best team.

Reptile: But what about Quan Chi's team? They have good members too.

Scorpion: Quan Chi has gotten together a team? Who the fuck is on that team?

Reptile: The team is made up of Quan Chi, Shinnok, Raiden, Kai, Kabal, Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, Tanya, Khameleon, and Mileena.

Noob Saibot: Hah, we will still win. We do happen to have the better team.

Scorpion: I don't know, the combined forcers of Quan Chi, Shinnok, and Shang Tsung all on one team could be pretty hard to beat. We will have to start to train right away when Pinklet gets back. We will have to train our hardest if we want to win.

Pinklet arrives back to the gym as if almost on cue.

Kintaro: Ummmmm....... Scorpion, Pinklet is back.

Scorpion: Ok, lets start training.

Scorpion is practicing with his spear, Ermac with his telekinesis, Noob Saibot with his shadow powers, Reptile with his acid, Rain with his lightning, Pinklet with ummm........... something, and the rest are doing various gym activities.

Kintaro: What, they only have 1,000 pounds to bench-press, this place is a rip-off!

He is then shown easily benching the 1,000 lbs.

Goro: Damn, how the fuck do you bench that much?

Kintaro: It's easy, seriously it's not that hard to do.

Shao Kahn: If you cant lift that much weight goro, then you are a big pussy.

Motaro: Yeah, its easy. Quit being a whiny little pussy, goro.

Goro: Screw you gahs, Eh'm Going hooooome.

Scorpion: No you're not, if you leave, I'll kill you.

Goro: fine then, just don't call me a pussy.

King Gorbak: This gym sucks, everything here is to easy. They only have 1,000 lbs. to bench, the ceiling is to low, Pinklets in the corner being a fucktard, everyones fighting, and I am to tall for the god damn gym!

Ermac: Come on, training isn't going to be easy, so you have to cope with the conditions and seriously try not to be such a whiny little bitch!

Gorbak: I'm not whiny! Fine, I will just cope with it, I just wish we had a better gym!

Chameleon is then seen doing jumping-flipping kicks. He accidentally kicks Pinklet in the face. Pinklet starts crying.

Chameleon: sorry Pinklet. I didn't try.

Scorpion: We need to get going. This gym is closing in just a few minutes.

They then left the gym.

(scene: The Shaolin Temple, Liu Kang and Kung Lao are training for the tournament.)

Liu Kang: We are going to win this tournament, we have the best team!

Kung Lao: Now don't get to cocky Liu, you never know who will win the tournament. So we just have to concentrate on practicing our moves.

Liu Kang: Fine then, but I still think that we are going to win.

Kung Lao: Okay, that's good, just don't get to confident.

They leave the temple.
