1 Martial Art System

I was utterly confused, and a bit fearful at what I saw in front of me.

'Welcome host, to the DC collective universe.'

The feminine robotic voice echoed in my mind on repeat. I continued to stare at the blue screen in front of me, with text on it saying the same thing as the voice.

I turned around to see if I was being pranked only to finally noticed my surroundings.

"A-am in a hospital?" I questioned out loud to no one particular. 

I gazed at the room I was in, I almost felt trapped and stuck to this bed.

Why was I here, the last thing I remember is going to sleep, and then waking up to see this thing?

Suddenly a new set of words appeared on the light blue screen, as the robotic voice began to speak once again.

'I am the Martial Art System, or MAS for short. I was originally a normal system, but I adapted to you.'

Adapted? What does it mean by that?

To my shock just by thinking this it responded with an answer. 

'I adapted to your love of martial arts. I now have the ability to give you martial arts from real and fictional worlds.'

I stared at the screen jaw almost hitting the floor. I was completely shocked. If this was real, just entertaining the idea, that mean I could learn Kame style, or Spinjitzu.

 I was shocked but, beyond anything else I was excited.

"System does this mean that I can learn Spinjitzu, or Kame style?" I questioned to the system. 

Instead of answering me the system did something that shocked me. It pulled up a list of words, some I recognized as martial arts.

'Pick your staring martial art.' 

The system spoke as I stared at the list my eyes going wide, and a giant grin forming onto my face. 

'Karate, Judo, Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, Spinjitzu, Turtle Style'

"Th-this is actually real." The last piece of doubt that I had has vanished as I stared at a mix of real and fictional martial arts in front of me. 

I gazed at each option carefully but from the beginning, I knew which one I would pick. 

"System I want to learn spinjitzu." I spoke with a huge goofy smile on my face. Ever sense I was a kid; I've always wanted to learn this.

'Spinjitzu, instructions installed.'

'Jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin.'

I stared at the instructions a bit let down. I already knew this from the theme song, I wanted something to actual get me to do the moves.

'Host does not yet meet the physical requirement to perform the martial art. Training program downloaded to get host to appropriate strength.'

I stared at the screen with interest as a bunch of detailed instructions appeared for multiple workouts. These included pushups, squats, full body stretching, also included ways of increasing my jumping and flexibility.

I was ready to get started, my blood was pumping as I was about to get out of my bed to start on some pushups, but before I could a sound interrupted me. 

The sound of a door opening echoes across the small room, as I whirl around staring at the person who walked in like a deer in headlights. 

"Y-your awake." The women who look to be a nurse, spoke in shock. 

"Um yeah I guess I am." I lamely said as I held my hands behind my head. 

The nurse rapidly regained her composure and told me to stay right there as she went to get the doctors.

"Hmm this is going to be a long day; I am a bit interested in what history this body has in this world." I spoke as I returned to look at where the screen was, only to notice that it has disappeared. 

"Ugh I guess that I'm stuck talking to doctors today." I spoke in a board tone, but then my eyes widen drastically.

"B-b-bills." Was all I could say as I slumped down into my bed, as a doctor rushed into my room.
