Mortal Kombat 1: Scorpion Kuai Liang X Readers

The Champion

You're hot. You just trained with monks. You bow and go to join Raiden who has also just finished his training.

''Hi Raiden''.

-Hi Y/N-.

Kung Lao joins you with his chakram hat in his hands.

-That is not a good idea- Raiden said.

-It is genius, Raiden. The next time we see Sub Zero, I will have to thank him for inspiring it- Kung Lao said, running his fingers over the blades. He cuts himself. -Ow!-.

-See? It won't be effective-.

While Johnny record on his cell phone, Kung Lao throws his hat like a frisbee. It cuts off the head of a statue before returning to Kung Lao, who grabs it with his fingers and twirls it and puts it on his head.

''Maybe it's too effective'' you say impressed. Johnny grunts as he joins you.

-We just need to get on with it. We've been cooped up here for months-.

''For months. I've know Kuai Liang for several months now, we've been talking''. 

-I can't base a cinematic universe on Outworld's monsters and magic if I don't ever see them- Johhny says as Kenshi joins you, stretching his arms together.

-That's why you're here?- Kenshi said. Kung Lao crosses his arms.

-Liu Kang said that this gig would change the arc of my life. That's how it gets done- Johhny replies. Kenshi rolls his eyes, up his head to the sky. -My ex'll rue the day she gave up on me-. 

Kenshi sighs. -So selfless- he said looking at Johnny.

-Oh please, Tatoo. You're just here to get your sword back- Johnny said with a mocking face. 

Raiden tries to calm the situation. -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- Raiden said with conviction.

''Raiden is right. Let's not bicker among ourselves''.

The other agreed. We hear a gong rining.

-It's about damn time- Johnny said, turning his head towards where the sound was coming from. Liu Kang approaches you.

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

-Only one of us, lord Liu Kang? Isn't Outworld fielding several champions?- Raiden ask.

-The tournament's rules give the host realm that advantage. And it's Outworld's turn as host-.

Johnny puts his hands on his hips. -You know I don't know why I've never asked this but... uh...(laughs) what's our record at this tournament?- he asks, opening his arms.

-Earthrealm and Outworld have long been evenly matched-. Liu Kang joins his hands -But Outworld is gaining strength. Should it win, it's more militant factions will be emboldened-.

''I thought you admired Outworld''. Liu Kang comes down the stairs.

-It is place of great knowledge, wealth and beauty. But our realms do not share goals and beliefs-. You all follow Liu Kang as he continues talking and walking. -We coexist peacefully because Outworld respects our strength. Should we show weakness.. our rival will become our ennemy-.

''Oh no, that would not be good!''.

-I will not lose, lord Liu Kang- Kung Lao said.

-First you must win the right to represent us-. Liu Kang turns to face you. -Whichever one of you outlasts the others will be chosen-. He sits on a chair, surrounded by monks. They all kneel down. -Raiden, step forward- Liu Kang said, waving for Raiden to come closer. Raiden approaches and bows. Johnny laughs.
