3rd Person P.O.V

Detroit, crime capital of the United States, most dangerous of them all. But dangerous for one man, a man who strikes fear into the hearts of dangerous criminals, the specter of crime capital, Ryan Bishop A.K.A Red Wraith. In life there's two types of heroes "The Good" and "The Bad", but to Bishop he's more of the in between of a justice acting hero and a violent menace. Ryan himself has been preforming this act ever since he was 15 years old only taking on wanted street thugs, rapists, and murderers by either just leaving them for police or by killing them which he knew was wrong but was to protect innocent by lives, the tasks he's been taking has been long and dangerous, and now at 20 is still the crime stopping vigilante he's come to be...but for how long?

Because, one on regular day that's was when the question was answered. While training on a fateful day, he received a letter...a very strange and unusual letter. It was a black letter, with a seal of a dragon. But what really stuck out was that there was no name of a sender, "Huh, that's odd letter with name of sender." Ryan thought to himself. When he opened the letter and read it to himself he finally understood.

Greetings Mr.Bishop

Or better known as "Red Wraith". We have been watching you for a very long time and are quiet impressed,do not fear your secret is safe and shall not be shared, but However if you wish for your identity to stay in the dark, there is a solution. You Mr.Bishop have been chosen as a viable representative for your realm in a tournament two weeks from now by the name of Mortal Kombat. In the tournament you will face different opponents with skills and tactics that surpass yours and if you manageto succeed you shall be rewarded with glory and riches. There is a vessel that will be at your service that shall deliver you to the tournament, in a matter of hours. The location and time of the vessel is at the bottom of the letter .

Be ready Mr.Bishop.

Ryan's P.O.V

After reading the Ryan had no idea what to think now. "Jesus Christ, first a strange letter, now someone who's been watching me for god knows how long is blackmailing to be in some tournament." Ryan said out loud. "I know that sounds weird, even to someone like me. But what the hell did it mean by "viable representative" for my realm?" Ryan thought to himself. "Ok maybe, if this "tournament" may be the real deal, and not just some weird scam, then maybe I can stick around."

3rd Person P.O.V

With that moment Ryan agreed to himself that he'll participate in the tournament. But there two things on his mind, training hard for two weeks and winning the "Mortal Kombat" tournament. Ryan himself was no stranger to fighting, he had been a hardcore vigilante for 5 years and was trained in major fighting styles from regular boxing to deadly martial arts that kill. Lastly, Ryan was a bit concerned about tournament when the letter said "opponents with skills that surpass yours..." he knew the very second he read those words it meant to be better.

Two Weeks Later

The time has finally come. Ryan knew that this was his moment, and he was ready for the tournament. When he made his way to location of the "vessel" he was told about in the letter and timing he was caught off guard of the reason for it. While waiting he saw other people waiting at the same spot he was waiting, he had no idea if they were on the same vessel as him or if they were just there. When all of sudden in distance something came across his vision, an old world ship that had the details of an old world Chinese Junk. When the ship had made a stop for everyone to board, Ryan did manage to see that there were others already on board, but in odd like ninja clothing.

When they set sail Ryan was starting to get confused on what was going on. "Okay...just got on board, and already seeing strange people. Could be more participants in the tournament." Ryan said to himself. Placing aside the other passengers, he decided since the boat trip would take hours he decided to get some rest, because he knew he would need it.

Several hours later

When Ryan awoken he saw that it was already nighttime, and the ship was about to make port to an unknown tropical island. When he got off board all the passengers were told to make their way to the palace by the guards and to leave their luggage and belongings inside. Soon, afterwards Ryan and all the other participants were told to wait in the courtyard for the commencement of the tournament.

The sound of slow rhythm drums filled the night as a crowd of people dressed in white and gold robes filled in from left and right. Soon, once the people were seated, 4 more figures appeared from the palace that overlooked the courtyard.

The first was an elderly man that had grey long hair that reached down his back, with a beard of the same color that reached his chest. He was wearing a black and red robe that had a large green orb on the center to keep it closed, with matching pants and boots. He was Shang Tsung the grandmaster of the island. He may have been old, but in actuality is a powerful sorcerer with ancient power.

Another figure was a male which I was assured was not human looking. He had a sickly yellow skin tone, clothed in a white and black fighting robe held with threads. He was Baraka, the Tarkatan servant of Shang Tsung and participate in the tournament.

Lastly, two more figures appeared and were females which caught the undivided attention of Ryan. The first woman had a creamy smooth lightly tanned skin tone, beautiful brown eyes, long eyelashes, and long black hair that went down her back. Her name was Kitana. While, she looked very human to Ryan and thought to be the same age as him or older by a few years, she's actually a being known as a "Edenian" and was a surprising 10,000 years old. To top it all she is the princess of Outworld and also the heir to the throne. But to her and to this tournament, she knew one thing and one thing only about the kombatants...

She will make them learn respect...

Her outfit consisted of a cerulean colored bustier with silver trimmings and a teared shape bust, which holds her cleavage with black strings. She's also wearing a thong that had the same design with a long flowing loincloth on the front with center designs on her bustier and mask. Plus to add to the princess part she also wears a tiara, silver earrings thigh high cerulean boots with floral designs with arm gauntlets. On her back were her signature weapons, two steel war fans held by blue between them and when open were perfect for slashing.

She was beautiful and fierce, she also was a master on the fighting style Eagle Claw, just like Ryan. She was known to sometimes be stern, but she's able to fix herself together and be cool. But mostly she never shows any personality or barely any emotions, mostly to prove how much of a great warrior she is.

But case in point: She is a very extravagant, beautiful, and strong woman.

But to be truthful in her case, it didn't matter if she was good looking to others. To be honest she had no experience in trying to catch the eye of any man. The only she ever knew in her life was her father Shao Khan, Shang Tsung, and the nether realm sorcerer Quan Chi. Sometimes during times of tournaments she would use it to her advantage to meet people who weren't her gender. But when she wanted that to happen, they just only fell in love with her revealing body, that just made her want to vomit. And to think if she were to chase down a man her father would be pissed off like a bull seeing red. So to make sure that wouldn't happen she kept her feelings to herself, and one day she'll find the perfect lover.

The figure after Kitana, caught Ryan's eye as well, being at same age range as the princess but just under a few years. She wore a tight emerald green and black outfit that was sort of similar to Kitana's , but didn't have the tear shape. It only hung with straps thematic went over her shoulders with crossed black strings that held her cleavage up. The front of the outfit was open way down in a V shape showing her beautiful tanned skin and a good view of her breast. A green loincloth was hung in between her legs by a gold ring, while gold chains also hung from the outfit. Her hair in a low ponytail that reached way down below the back, matching gauntlets and boots were also apart of it.

The woman was known to be confident, sarcastic, and cocky to whoever went up against her, being really merciless to any who is a "Threat". She's also highly loyal to princess, being her childhood friend, and bodyguard meaning that she would anything in her power to protect her, even if she had to take a blade to her heart save Kitana. She is also a expert in Fan Zi, meaning she doesn't fuck around, her signature weapons were a Bojutsu staff that has badass power allowing it to either expand or shrink, and triple bladed boomerang, that had razor sharpened blades, nicknamed a "Razor-Rang" that's always help her to succeed in victory.

She was Jade, the Edenian Warrior of Kitana, and judging by some of the kombatants...

This will be easy...

Ryan's P.O.V

Regaining my focus, I managed to get my eyes off the two women who appeared alongside the grandmaster before someone noticed I was.

The elderly man soon raised both arms signaling the drums to come to a stop, when all of a sudden every monk dressed person who were in front of the stage began slowly sit down. And, at this moment I soon realized that this was only the introduction of the tournament.

The same question was flying around in my head just asking over and over, "Am I ready...". I knew that I was, and couldn't let it drag me down.

But that question was thrown in the trash when the old man began to speak. "Kombatants. I am Shang Tsung, In the coming days each of you will fight. Some of you have been brought here of your own volition. Others were brought here by chance." While giving his introductory speech, I had a very bad feeling once he said the last sentence he glared at me.

In the middle of the speech I heard someone whisper right next to me. "Hey beautiful, Johnny Cage." Just by hearing the greet he gave the women, I felt what he could be described as in three words...A literal douchebag.

3rd Person P.O.V

That douchebag was Johnny Cage... Literally. Dressed in white suit, with signature black shades, the aura he gave off said "I don't give two fucks, now get lost." Cage was master in the martial arts game, with a bigass ego, who was only her to show off how much of badass he was and if there were women to score.

Ryan then heard the voice of a women sounding like she didn't care who he was. "Good for you." the voice said, to his cocky attitude, when Ryan had a look who the voice belonged to he froze, and admired the individual.

A female women with blond hair in a ponytail wearing a black zip that stopped above the bellybutton, and when unzipped showed a very great portion of cleavage. Dog tags were a part of her outfit signifying that she was in military service or was still in service. Black leather combat pants held with a leather belt, black knee pads, and black lace up combat boots that reached mid-thigh. This women was an expert fight for the style of Tae Kwon Do, and name to back up that she was a badass...Sonya Blade.

A banging hot, tough as nails special forces lieutenant, was on the island for one reason and flirting with douchebag actors wasn't one of them.

Ryan's P.O.V

It was very clear and obvious, Blade wasn't interested. And that didn't cease to stop Cage from hitting on her. "What, "Massive Strike"? "Citizen Cage"? "Ninja Mime"? None of those ring a bell?" He asked with a hint of confusion in his voice.

Once he named those movies I figured out who he really was. He was a major martial artist who never CGI or stunt actors because, of his experience. But, who's to say I'm a hypocritical bastard for criticizing him, well call me hypocritical bastard all you want, I've got not even one shed of grace or admiration for the guy. His movies...are terrible. I mean come on now, who the hell would want to watch "Ninja Mime" Hollywood ought to have him thrown out on his ass.

"Kano..." Sonya said in a dark tone while staring into the distance. I wanted to see who she was staring at, but in the back of my mind something told me to don't look, and to stay focused.

"Kano? Wasn't in that one." Johnny said thinking she meant him.

Shang Tsung resumed his speech.

"You participate in the most important Mortal Kombat in history! This tournament, the tenth out of nine Outworld victories, will determine Earthrealm's fate. If defeat all of your opponents, you will face one final challenge...me." He stated.

Something in me knew he would say something very close to that. For all I know he may have been elderly, but he may have had the skills of Pai Mei. Plus, he did mention something else.

"Earthrealm"? I'm pretty sure it was referred to as just Earth, and not Earthrealm. Wasn't the tournament of just of simple fighting or whatever, and not just to determine Earth's fate.

Also, the hell's an "Outworld"?

All of sudden I heard the voice of a douchebag speaking. "That old geezers the final challenge?" He asked out loud. With that a few heads were turned in my direction. "They might as well give me the belt right now. They do have belts, right?" He continued to ask the women who was started look frustrated and agitated.

"Look, I'm not interested okay?" She spoke in a manner of trying to end the failing conversation.

But he wanted take no for an answer. "Oh come hot stuff, how about I take you dinner."

Okay I'm ending this bullshit right now.

"Step off, shades." I spoke in a tone meant for breaking moments up. I didn't know anyone here, and sidestepping a bit so the others could get a glance at me.

Seconds, later he whipped his head at my direction and tried to square up to me. "What was that, you said?" He asked looking me in the eyes.

"I said step off shades, do I gotta repeat myself?" I asked hoping to get him to stop. But the egotistical douchebag would've come to a cease.

That's when the corner of his lip pulled up into a smirk and chuckle. "Yeah, Yeah keep trying to be tough squirt, but the whole big bad hoss standing up for damsels ain't working." He spoke to sound grown up insulting my dignity and like I was a kid.

I balled my fist and cracked my knuckles just waiting to make a comeback, but when the woman responded for me. "You know, I prefer the big bad hoss standing up opinion." She said crossing her arms with a look that could make my spine shake.

"Whoa. Come on sweetie, don't be like that he's the one who started it not m-" he stated but was quickly interrupted.

"STEP OFF!" She said loudly pushing him away, and with the loudness everyone was looking at the three of us.

When out of nowhere a raspy voice was right next to us...and it belong to Shang Tsung. "Yes Mr. Cage, step off." He said causing all of us to jump.

"What? How did you-?" Johnny managed to get out.

"Appearances can be deceiving." Shang Tsung stated.

"And you.." he spoke to me, for an old guy his gaze was creepy as shit, but is was his eyes that did the trick, the were just...white.Very white. But he continued "Assisting a fellow Earthrealmer...fascinating." He said before turning away and walking back up the stairs to his throne.

What does he mean? And that "Earthrealm" shit.

But all I knew was that I would have the answers for my questions. "As of right now kombatants...The Mortal Kombat tournament has officially begun." He stated.

A.N. Jumping Jehovah, it's finally done took longer than I thought but finally done.

Well seeing is that this was the arrival chapter it's a little off but I made it work.
