you were a disciple of Raiden, a student, and a good friend. The god had announced that you’d be leaving with him, Liu Kang and a few other guests to the mortal Kombat tournament on Shang Tsung’s island.

at the harbor you were already preparing the ship, raising the sails and doing other quite mundane tasks.

and just as you were about to go on open waters the Hollywood actor Johnny Cage boarded last minute, which made you and Liu Kang internally cringe.

Liu Kang was like a brother to you, having grown up beside him. He gave you a shove with his elbow. “I’ll go and find Raiden, ask about our next coarse we’re setting for.”

and with a nod he left you to wander around the vessel.

in your walk you could see Johnny waving around with his cellphone, cursing to himself as he failed to get a signal. You didn’t pay him much mind, as he didn’t leave a good first impression to you.

but when you came on the main deck you saw a blonde woman clad in military gear leaning against the railing, whom you didn’t see before. But damn she was beautiful.. you couldn’t help but look twice.

the first thought that came up to you was go over to her, start a conversation.

but then Sonya had already turned to you, arching a brow. She hadn’t seen you before as well.
