I floated around for a while and then got spat out of the teleporter. I looked around and found out I had been transported to some kind of shaolin monk academy. It looked like an ancient martial arts academy. I thought I was in ancient China, but as I looked at other people there, I thought differently. Monks and fighters of all kind practiced in the courtyard. There were warriors of all kind there. Anything from an American Indian to a yellow cyborg. I watched all the fighters carefully, thinking I would have to fight them. My stomach turned and knotted at the thought of having to fight someone as good as them. I couldn't even fight, I took karate when I was a little kid, but that was about ten years ago. "We have been waiting for you Jake." a strong voice said to me. I looked and saw a man, he was dressed in a martial arts robe and wore a wide brimmed bronze looking hat. I asked him, "Who are you? And why am I here?" "I am Raiden, I am the god of thunder." (I scoffed to myself a tiny bit, but then caught myself doing that. I thought this guy could be legit. I mean, I just got transported from a small town in Alabama to a martial arts academy.) Raiden continued, " You have been summoned to fight for the good side, in Mortal Kombat." I replied, "Uh-huh…I can't fight Mr. Thunder god." Raiden gave off a small chuckle then a small spark of lightning came around his hand. He then threw the small spark at me, it was too fast to dodge. It hit me right in the chest, knocking me down. I then saw more visions, but of fighting and kung-fu type moves. I realized then that Raiden gave me the knowledge of how to be a professional fighter. Heck, I think it made me better than a pro. I seemed able to sense my opponents moves before they even threw a punch or kick. And I even think I was given supernatural powers as well.
