Hey, guys! This story is an EXTREMELY short story about what MIGHT have happened in the MK Universe! Kind of like a cross between Mortal Kombat and the Twilight Zone! I call these stories Mortal Kombat: What If...

This first story is crappy. It's just a start! I hope you find it just as funny as it is surprising! Thanks!

Story #1: What If...Liu Kang lost the first tournament?

Liu Kang had made it farther than he had ever dreamed imaginable. All the friends he had made along the way: Johnny, Sonya, Raiden... They were all either wounded, or unable to continue from exhaustion. And so, it was up to him, and him alone, to stop the forces of Shao Kahn from seizing Earthrealm.

The surprised young monk looked down at his feet. The towering giant, Goro, once the Champion of the Mortal Kombat Tournament, was badly weakened on the floor. Where had he gotten such strength? From the Elder Gods themselves? Had it been their plan that Kang fight this day?

Now that he looked back, he had beaten Scorpion and Reptile, and all of the others with such ease! They had weapons, while he only had his bare hands.

Now that Goro was out, pride and honor for the Shaolin Temple welled up inside of him. Now, he, Liu Kang of the White Lotus Society, Liu Kang, who had come to fight Mortal Kombat with large hopes and small expectations,was the new Champion of Mortal Kombat! Now, all he had to do was defeat Shang Tsung, and the tournament would once again belong in the hands of the monks, where they had always belonged.

Tsung stood from his throne. Kang's pulse increased. This was it: The final match to win it all: The title, and the beautiful Freedom!

Shang Tsung beconed, urging Kang to make the first move. Kang prepared to use his beloved Flying Kick. Lunging through the air towards his opponent, he felt as free as a bird. In thirty more seconds, his realm, and all he had sworn to protect as a monk, would be able to rest easy, once and for all.

But, all of a sudden, he felt a raging cramp in his left leg. Screaming, he flopped to the ground, and lay there moaning. Two seconds later, the great Liu Kang had died of shame.

Shang Tsung was confused. What was this? That young monk had shown agility he hadn't seen since the days of the Great Kung Lao, and taken down his beloved Goro, only to scream and fall like a stupid old woman at the last second!

Tsung also died that day, because he was laughing so hard, he couldn't breathe. The Elder Gods, looking down upon the tournament, were speechless. Both Kang and Tsung had died at once, so there was no new Champion. But, Goro had been defeated already, so he was no longer the old Champion either.

So, they canceled Mortal Kombat forever and ever, and the realms were forced to settle their differences in a peaceful manner.

THE END

LOL!
