Remnant of the last era (MK1 x OC)

The chosen one

After a little while Garito made it to Wu Shi Academy where he met with four more champions, Raden, Johnny Cage, Kenshi, and Kung Lao. And they all together started training and learning about Outworld and its customs. One day the monks told them about Outworld Empress, Sindel, and her daughters, Mileena and Kitana. Of course, they were told about the different creatures that are living together with the people of Outworld, like Shokan, Centaurians, and Naknadans. And at the end of all lectures, all the champions were tested in combat as well.

A few months later, it was almost time for the tournament.

Raiden just finished his training. Garito approached him while clapping to his performance. And Raiden nods his head.

Garito: You did really well. Even I couldn't define this many monks at once.

Then Kung Lao approached them with his new hat which had blades all around it.

Raide: That is not a good idea.

Garito: Yeah, trust us, you will cut off your head this way.

Kung Lao: It is genius. The next time I see Sub-Zero, I will have to thank him for inspiring it.

Then he stroked the sharp blade and not surprisingly he cut himself.

Garito: You still have a chance to reconsider.

Kung Lao smirked and threw his hat at a dummy, the hat cut off the dummy's head and returned to Kung Lao who caught it and then he put it on his head.

Raiden: Maybe it's too effective.

Garito: Whatever, but I will not look for your missing fingers one day.

Then Johnny came to them.

Johnny: We just need to get on with it. We've been cooped up here for months. I can't base a cinematic universe on Outworld's monsters and magic if I don't even see them.

Kenshi: That's why you're here?

Garito jumped when he heard Kenshi's voice behind him.

Garito: For fuck sake, Kenshi, wear a bell next time.

Kenshi said nothing and just gave him a childish smile like other champions who clearly like messing with Garito.

Johnny: Look, Liu Kang said that this gig would change the arc of my life. That's how it gets done.

Garito: I don't think he meant it like this.

Johnny: My ex'll rue the day she gave up on me.

Kenshi: So selfless.

Johnny: Oh please, Tattoo. You're just here to get your sword back.

Raiden: We all have our reasons for being here. Some better than others. But we are not here to fight among ourselves. We are here to fight for Earthrealm.

Everyone nodded to that statement. But then one of the monks hit the gong and they saw that it was Liu Kang who hit the gong.

Johnny: It's about damn time.

Liu Kang: And today one of you will be chosen to fight for it at the tournament.

Raiden: Only one of us, Lord Liu Kang? Isn't Outworld fielding several champions?

Liu Kang: The tournament's rules give the host realm that advantage. And it is Outworld's turn as host.

Johnny: You know I don't know why I've never asked this, but... uh... What's our record at this tournament?
