You know I've always wonder if the characters meet with a teen reader (platonic relationship) who can control elements. They found her by accident and saw her like catching fish using her water bending.
(sorry if I disturbing you. Please do tell me anything if I broke a rule or something because I'm trying my best to find your rule book)
PS love your Mortal Kombat :3

What are you going to do? You can survive on your own, sure, but for how long? Who can you even ask for help? You don’t know anyone in this realm and from what you’ve been told, most Earthrealmers don’t even know about Outworld and its inhabitants. How can they help you find your way back, let alone your mom?
Your mom… right.
That bastard! As soon as you find him, he’s dead! You’ll make him pay for what he did to you and your mother. You’ll make him regret underestimating you and reducing your mother to nothing more than a puppet. When you find him you’ll… you’ll…
How will you find him though? You don’t even know his name. Thanks to him you are stranded in Earthrealm. You let out a frustrated sigh. You aren’t powerful enough to open a portable to get back to Outworld. Is there anyone here who is? How can you find them?
You angrily kick a rock and watch it tumble into the river in front of you as a wave of helplessness washes over you. You shake your head to clear it and take a calming breath. You’re no good to your mom if you’re frazzled and drained.
You’ll figure out a plan later, for now, you’ll focus on getting something to eat so you don’t starve to death before you can.
You stand at the bank of the river and let the sounds of nature calm you. The rushing of water downstream. The chirping of the birds’ morning song. The rustling of the wind passing through leaves. It’s almost enough to fool you into believing you are out for a recreational trek through the woods and not stranded all alone.
Raising your hands, you search for the ball of energy stored at the center of your chest and feel it unravel. It begins to spread across your chest, down your arms, and rest in your palms. You move your hands from left to right and watch as the river’s water swirls up into the air.
You parse through the water using your water bending to search for fish and wash them ashore. You are able to find three smallmouth basses and decide they are enough sustenance for today. You bend down to collect them when you feel the air suddenly become charged around you.
Whipping around, your eyes land on four men standing at the tree line. One of them shoots out his hand and a bolt of lightning comes flying toward you. You narrowly manage to dive out of the way and the bolt zaps the spot you were just in.
You feel heat erupt from your chest and plunge down your arms as flames engulf your hands.
“Who are you!?” You question as you take a defensive stance.
“Earthrealm’s Protectors.” The one wearing a razor-rimmed hat declares.
Before you have a chance to process this, another bolt of lightning is making its way to you. Unfortunately, this time you are unable to move out of the way fast enough and fall to the ground as your body shakes in pain.
After the shock subsides, you roll onto your hands and knees. Your breath is nothing but gasps as you try to get air into your lungs. How dare these people attack you unprovoked! Earthrealm’s Protectors? You aren’t doing anything harmful! All you are trying to do is get something to eat. What is their deal? It doesn't matter, you will return the favor of attacking first and asking questions later.
Resting both palms flat against the ground, you force energy through them and the ground begins to violently shake. The men are thrown off balance and it is just the distraction you need to execute an attack.
Throwing your hands out in quick succession, you send several fireballs hurling toward them. You watch as the four men jump around in an effort to dodge the onslaught.
“Now that wasn’t very nice, Hotshot.” One of them says while removing his sunglasses.
Your eyes roll as you scoff. “You’re one to talk. I can still feel the aftershocks from Sir Zaps-a-lot over there.”
“Sir Zaps-a-lot?” Asks the one wearing a… blindfold? Strange.
“Yes! He electrocuted me for no reason!”
“You appear to be no older than 14. Why are you here terrorizing Earthrealm?” Sir Zaps-a-lot asks.
You let out an exasperated sigh. “I’m 15, thank you very much. Also, how is fishing terrorizing anyone!? I was just trying to get something to eat and you attacked me completely unprovoked!”
“Unprovoked? You have been going around causing earthquakes, fires, floods, and tornados in highly populated areas. You have killed innocent Earthrealmers and destroyed many people’s homes and livelihoods! Yet you claim you are innocent?” Razorhead bellows.
“How… I-I can’t do that!”
“Um… listen, Hotshot. We just watched you fish without a fishing rod. Not to mention the fireballs and mini earthquake you used on us. You definitely can do that.” Explains Sunglasses.
“Exactly! Mini earthquake. I can’t make one powerful enough to destroy people’s homes like you’ve said.”
The men stare at you and from their expressions you can tell they don’t believe you.
“Seriously, it wasn’t me!”
“There are not too many others who possess powers like you here.” Mr. See-no-evil states.
How are your powers uncommon? Stupid powerless Earthrealmers!
“Whatever, that still doesn’t change the fact that I’m not strong enough to create earthquakes, floods, or tornados on a scale large enough to destroy homes. I’m still in training!”
“Training by who?” Sir Zaps-a-lot inquires.
“By my mo-”
Why didn’t you think of this sooner? You know someone who is powerful enough to cause damage on a scale these men speak of. Someone who is currently under the hypnosis of a deranged sorcerer. You have to find her!
“Where did these attacks take place?” You ask as you take a step forward.
“Wait a minute Hotshot, who is your trainer?”
“My mother.” You began to pace. “About a week ago, some crazy sorcerer came to our house. I-I think my mom knew him? I had seen him talking to her before. Anyway, the day he showed up at our house he was acting all crazy. T-Then he did some weird magic hypno stuff and put my mom under some sort of spell. She would only listen to him no matter what I did. She was basically his puppet. He opened a portal and forced me to Earthrealm so I wouldn’t get in the way of his plans. I bet he’s using her to do all of the stuff you said. That bastard!”
“Okay, okay, calm down. You said your mother was taken by the sorcerer?” Mr. See-no-evil walks forward, stopping a few feet away from you.
“Yes! I know you have a blindfold on, but do you also have earplugs?”
“There is no need to get testy.”
“Can it, Razorhead!”
“Pfft… Razorhead.” Sunglasses chuckles under his breath.
“My name is Kung Lao, and that is not the attitude one should have when asking for help.”
“Asking for help? Who needs your help?”
“You do. How do you intend to find your mother? Are you going to take on the sorcerer by yourself? My name is Raiden, by the way.”
Dang it, they’re right!
“Fine, I’m sorry. You’re right, there’s no way I can beat him by myself. What am I going to do?” You drop your head in defeat.
Sunglasses walks up to you and throws his arm around your shoulder. “Don’t worry your pretty little head. We won’t leave you to face him all alone. We fight for the weak. That’s what Earthrealm’s Protectors are all about.”
“I’m not weak,” You grumble, resisting the urge to elbow him in the side.
“What he means is, we will help you find your mom and take down this insidious sorcerer.” Kung Lao promises.
“We will take you to Wu Shi and inform our leader Liu Kang of your situation,” Raiden adds.
“But we don’t have time for that. We have to find my mom.” You are starting to get impatient now that you know there is a possibility your mother is here in Earthrealm.
“We will, but we need to make a plan. Plus you have been out here in the woods by yourself for a while. You look like you could use some rest… and some food.” Mr. See-no-evil pointedly nods toward the three fish on the ground you caught earlier.
Just then your stomach decides to remind you just how empty it is.
“Alright, I guess.” You begrudgingly agree.
Wait a minute.
“How do you know there are fish on the ground, aren’t you blindfolded!?”
Everyone starts laughing and you feel as though you’ve been left out of some inside joke.
Mr. See-no-evil starts walking backward toward the tree line. “Come on, I will tell you on the way.”
Should this be a series? Also, we aren't even going to talk about the nicknames... I tried 🤷🏾♀️
