Mortal Kombat headcanon story - Where are they?
“Lord Raiden? Lord Fujin?” a voice broke the air. Turning around to see one of the Shaolin Monks jogging up to him and his brother then bow at them “Forgive me for intruding”. “It is alright” Raiden reassure the monk “It is it?” the monk raise his head to stare at the pupil-less gods’ eyes. “Have you seen Liu Kang or Kung Lao? Or them together? It is time for their studies but I cannot find them” The young adult’s shoulders slump “I figure you or Lord Fujin know where they are”.He stare at the man next to him, wearing similar clothing to him; a white shirt with a dark gray and red vest with golden cloud designs on his shoulders. With belts around his waist with a sword scabbard among with a folded up cross bow attach to his belt and teal pants. His hair done in a long braid that reaches his bottom. His clear eyes landed on Raiden then back at the master.“No, I haven’t seen them” He answer. “Neither have I” Raiden followed his own answer, the man sigh. “Where could they be?” The monk frowns as his brows frown; irritation fill his face “I swear those boys are trouble makers” then he sigh. “We’ll help you find them” said Fujin while Raiden nodded. “Oh you do not have to my lords” The monk look worried that he made the protectors of Earthrealm help him find some mischief boys. “Nonsense we want to help” Raiden stated, the monk bow to them. “Thank you my lords, forgive me for being troublesome” He straighten his back and stare at his masters with slight worried now. “Again nonsense” Fujin smile at him “Once we find them, we’ll send them back to you for their studies”. “If you can, you know how Kung Lao is” he rolled his eyes while shaking his head. Fujin chuckle.The monk thanks both of them again and returns to the temple, Raiden and Fujin looked all over the academy and the sky temple because that was around the time Raiden decide to train them both and taken them under his wing. But such luck finding the two small children were none, worried fill Raiden as he started to think about what could happen to them. Fujin try to remind him not to worried and think where they would go to avoid their studies. Both of them brain storm on where they could be; somewhere they can’t stray too far from the temple so they can return before anybody notice and another area where they can feel safe. They both figure out to try out the forest on the right side of the temple, were the children can play once they’re on break from the studies but they were sternly inform, never to go deeper into the forest. They agree to try and scout the area since there is no other option. Once they found them, Raiden will let his thunder roar and Fujin will summon high winds to let the others know. They spit up once they enter the forest and search around, Raiden carefully look around the area gently pushing the leafs and brush to make a pathway, watching his step from the tree roots and large boulders. Calling out their names. For about three minutes, Raiden haven’t found Liu Kang and Kung Lao and was planning to go in a different part of the forest to search there however high strong winds blow the trees. Knowing Fujin has found them, he scenes his brother and teleport where he is. Once he found him and was about to speak to him, Fujin brings a finger up to his lips to hush his brother then wave his hand to come closer to him, confuse but did what Fujin requested and stood next to him. They peek thought the thin layer of branches and see a more trees with a stream with rock in the center to walk across, everyone can go there and send very peaceful morning or afternoon to relax and enjoy nature. Liu Kang sitting next to a running stream on the other side clearly meditating as Kung Lao doing tai chi and throwing punches in the air.“Maybe we should go back?” Liu Kang spoke up “We been gone for a while”. “Just a few more minutes” argue Kung Lao “I still need to practice my kicks more”. “Yes but we been here for nearly two hours, it is time we should go back before anybody notice” the boy with the red bandana stood up from his stop and dust off the dirt from his pants, Kung Lao thought about it then sigh knowing he’s right. “You are right” he straighten up “Thought I do not want to go back and study” the young shaolin pouted. Liu Kang laugh. “We have to” He give his friend a toothy grin. “Teacher’s pet” Kung Lao insulted while his friend shrugs as he slowly and cautiously walked across the stream using the stones to get to where his friend is “I wish we could just go straight to dinner”. “It is too early for that” Liu Kang stated “And we had lunch not too long ago”. "But I am still hungry!” Kung Lao groan then an idea stuck him “Hey before we go back, let us go into the kitchen and maybe still some dumpling” He grin, Liu Kang looked shock. “No!” he said “We should not do that” Lao rolled his eyes. “I mean we are only taking eight, four for me and four for you!” Kung Lao explain “And there is lots so I am sure no one will notice” Liu Kang sighs and thought having a dumpling made his mouth water a little and agreed.They both started to walked towards the forest way to go back to the temple while talking about their plan of action to take the extra food. Raiden and Fujin decide to make their appearance know and step out of the branches, alerting both the young shaolin children and shock to find their masters standing there.“Lord Raiden and Lord Fujin!” Both of them exclaim then bow at them. “So this is where you two are” stated Raiden while sternly stare at them, his arms cross. “One of the masters is looking for you” Fujin kneel gently down to their level “It is time for your studies” Both kids groan. “We forgot” Liu Kang said. “It does not matter” Raiden slightly narrow his eyes at the two boys “You should tell us and the monks where you are going” Like Fujin, Raiden kneel down to their level “We thought what could have happen to you two because you two were gone for sometime” His tone held softness, Fujin nodded, both boys sigh. “We lost track of time, We are sorry” Kung Lao. Fujin stood up. “Why are you here anyway?” ask Fujin. “It is it our secret hideout! Where we can train and study better!” answer Liu Kang with excitement, Lao lightly smack his friend’s arm and give him the ‘Don’t tell him that’ look, Liu realize what he said then drop his head “Guess it is no longer a secret now" Both Raiden and Fujin exchange stares at each other as the hat man stood up straight. “Let return to the temple now” requested Fujin, both boys nodded as all four of them exit the forest and back to the Wu Shi academy. Just as the four enter the training grounds; the same monk from earlier that was looking for Kung Lao and Liu Kang; spotted them and quickly dash towards them. “There you are!” The monk sternly said, both boys drop their heads knowing full well there in trouble, he look up at the two gods “Thank you my lords for returning them” Both Raiden and Fujin nodded, he turn his attention back to the boys “Where you were two?” He ask again. “We were…around” Liu Kang spoke. “Yes around” Kung Lao back his friend up. The monk only frown more. “Around where?” He demanded while crossing his arms, glaring at them. Liu Kang and Kung Lao side glance each other while biting their lips, they don’t’ want to tell anybody about their secret place to go, if they do that means they wouldn’t go there anymore and forbid them. They don’t want to give it up either, it’s there little spot they found and declare it theirs since no one can go in the forest that deep. Raiden notice their faces and frown. The monk clearly was getting angrier because he’s not getting answers before he could spoke out someone cut him off. “They were outside near the stone wall training” Raiden answer, everyone look at him surprise, even Fujin “They lost track of time when we found them” Both boys look at him in surprise. “Is it true?” The monk as both boys and Fujin. The young boys took the opportunity. “Yes it is true!” Both boys exclaim. “Why you two did not say it from the start?” the monk question again. “We did not want to be in trouble?” Kung Lao added with a nervous smile. “Thought strange I did check there a while ago” He ponder then shrug decide to drop it “Maybe you two hide there when I appeared” he sigh “Regardless come to the classroom and we can start your studies”. “Yes master” both boys said with a bow. He look at the gods. “Thank you again for finding them my lords” He bow at them. “Before they leave, may I have a word with the two?” Raiden ask, the monk nodded. “Of course my lord” he agreed thinking; the boys will get a lecture from Raiden as he turn his heel and headed towards the temple. Both boys turn to look at the god. “Thank you my lord!” Liu Kang grin. “Our secret spot is still secret!” Kung Lao exclaim happily. “I’m surprise you did that” Fujin stare at his brother thinking that wasn’t in his character to bend the truth. Especially on holy temple grounds. “Since you know now! You are more than welcome to go to our secret spot” Kung Lao invited Raiden. “You to Lord Fujin” Liu look at the wind god, which he nodded as a thank you. “Children” Raiden spoke up, making the shaolin boys quiet and listen to Raiden “Next time tell us we you are going” Once again he kneel down to their level “We were worried about you and thought of the worst case scenario” He tone hold gentleness “If you are going there, please find Fujin and I, we will take you there” Both boys nodded in understanding “Good” Raiden stood up “Now go to your studies, I must consult the masters of business” he started to walk towards the temple.Liu and Lao stare at each other and smile, running up to Raiden; Liu took Raiden’s left hand while Lao took god’s right hand. Startle by the contact he look down and see both boys holding his hands and started laughing while looking up at Raiden. He blink in surprise then relax while all three walked together, Liu tug his hand making him look down at the boy.“Thank you again for not telling him about our secret hide out Lord Raiden” a smile appeared on Liu’s face. “Yes thank you!” Lao chines in. “You are welcome” Raiden stated “But can you two promise me?” Both boys give each other confuse faces but nodded “I will keep your secret hideout quiet if both of you do not take from the kitchen” Raiden sternly added while both boys winces. “Y-You heard that?” ask Kung Lao sheepishly. “Yes” Bluntly said Raiden, both boys groan.Fujin watch his brother and the young boys entering the temple, he notices Raiden having a small smile appeared on his lips while all three turn the corner and disappear into the building. The wind god shook his head in amazement, believing his brother sternly and stoic demander is slowly softening a bit especially around those two.
