The scene transitions to the Wu shi academy which was now improved and now different, specifically for scorpion's wedding. Raiden is seen rehearsing his lines for Scorpion and Harumi's wedding.

Raiden: Today we gather to witness the union of Harumi and Kuai Liang. Let us celebrate their bond as they celebrate each other. As they celebrate e- He sighed obviously being nervous.

Johnny cage: Stage fright thunder lad?

Raiden quickly turns to Johnny, caught off guard by his sudden appearance and lighthearted question. He lets out a slight sigh, a mixture of relief and gratitude for Johnny's presence.

Raiden: Ah, Johnny. I didn't realize you were behind me. And no, it's not really stage fright. I'm merely... preparing for my role in the ceremony.

Johnny leans against a nearby pillar, a cocky smile on his face. He clearly enjoys teasing Raiden.

Johnny: Sure, sure. You just looked like you were about to have a cardiac arrest up here. Relax, you'll do fine.

Raiden lets out a small chuckle, somewhat amused by Johnny's comment. However, he can't deny that he's still a bit anxious.

Raiden: I appreciate the reassurance, Johnny. I suppose I just want everything to be perfect for Kuai and Harumi's special day.

Johnny pats Raiden on the back, an encouraging gesture.

Johnny: Hey, I get it. You don't want to fuck things up for them. But they chose you as the officiant for a reason, right? They trust you. You'll do great.

Raiden nods, grateful for Johnny's support and confidence in him. He takes a deep breath, steadying himself.

Raiden: You're right, Johnny. They have faith in me, and I shall not disappoint them. I am ready as I can be.

Kung Lao and Kenshi approach the pair, joining the conversation. Kung Lao, ever the laid-back one, gives a casual wave.

Kung Lao: Hey, you guys all set to witness the big day?

Kenshi, his blindfold as usual, nods in greeting.

Johnny turns to the newcomers with a smirk.

Johnny: Oh, we're more than ready. Just helping good ol' Thunder Boy here with the pre-game jitters.

Kung Lao chuckles at Johnny's playful nickname for Raiden.

Raiden rolls his eyes slightly but can't help but smile at the banter. He knows his friends are trying to lighten the mood.

Raiden: I'm not nervous, per se. Just want to make sure everything goes smoothly. But thank you for the concern, my friends.

Kenshi chimes in, his voice calm and composed as usual.

Kenshi: No need to worry, Raiden. We all have faith in you. You've presided over ceremonies before and you'll do just fine.

???: He's right Raiden.

They all turn their attention and see Y/N in his usual Wolverine outfit without the cowl. Y/N's sudden appearance surprises the group, who weren't expecting him to arrive so early. They all seem a bit taken aback.

Raiden is the first to speak, a mix of disbelief and happiness crossing his face.

Raiden: Y/N! I wasn't expecting you to arrive this early. It's good to see you.

Y/N: Nice to see you all too. And luckily I'm here early. I thought I was gonna be late due to wade's stupid remarks.

Johnny lets out a loud chuckle, clearly amused.
