Liu Kang And April Fools

liu kang and april fools

i think lord liu kang should be allowed to be a little silly. as a treat

I just know he and Kung Lao would get into prank wars when they were younger (prev timeline). Not only prank wars, but they’d occasionally pull pranks on other monks as well. Between them, Kung Lao would get caught more often.

Liu Kang ofc grew up and matured over time, especially now that he’s a god and Earthrealm's protector. He reminisces those days sometimes. Great memories.

So when April 1st came around and there was not much to do, he knew he had to take that chance.

Not even Geras could stop him.

He secretly bought whoopee cushions and placed them everywhere. And i mean everywhere. Everyone was complaining about it.

Kenshi pinned the blame on Johnny for the pranks that happened to himself, Raiden, and Kung Lao. He didnt believe Johnny until Johnny himself got pranked. He opened the window and found a garbage bag right outside his window meant to look like there was a person in there.

Liu Kang got that idea from Kung Lao.

Kitana’s telling Raiden about the whoopee cushions in the palace. They can’t go one minute without accidentally sitting on a whoopee cushion. It’s driving Mileena mad.

Anyway, Liu Kang put a fake beetle on the window frame, and Raiden noticed it. He gets closer to poke the beetle, not knowing it’s fake.

Unfortunately for him, the fake beetle is tied to a thin string.

When he poked the beetle, Liu Kang promptly tugged on the string, startling Raiden. In a panic, Kitana threw her fan at the beetle, causing Liu Kang to run away.

At some point, he accidentally started a prank war between Tomas and Syzoth after putting plastic bugs in Tomas’ soup. Kuai Liang and Ashrah were dragged into it. Tomas almost set Syzoth on fire and that’s when the other two had to make them stop.

“Oh look, the consequences of my actions!” - Liu Kang in his thoughts.

Liu Kang accidentally ruined Bi-Han and Sareena’s dinner date with whoopee cushions because he didn’t know. Bi-Han was infuriated and wouldn’t stop until he found the culprit.

Geras tried to stop him again but his next victim was Shang Tsung lmao

He was not spared from the whoopee cushions. While he was out, Liu Kang also moved some furniture and other things slightly but just enough for Shang Tsung to feel like something is Wrong

I like to imagine this is the one time Liu Kang will allow himself to be extra mean so he even wrote a note that said “april fools :)”

“This is not going to work.” *actually works*

After a long day of trolling, he comes back to the fire temple and invites Geras to have a chat over tea.

Geras scolds him (calmly) and he couldn’t believe he had to be the one to tell him off.

So far, Geras was pretty calm about this… until he finally took a sip of his drink.

“This tastes strange… did you put salt in my tea?”

He did. Liu Kang failed to hold back his laughter.

On one hand, good for him for having fun and letting loose, but also this is getting out of hand.

Geras made him apologize to everybody. imagine the shock on their faces when they found out it’s him of all people.

“I won’t do it again 😔” (he’ll do it again 😈)
