Please try not to focus on grammar.

We open up in a dark alley. There is nothing but rats, trash, and condom wrappers all over the ground.


We see SONYA BLADE walking into the alley, she has a walkie talkie in her right hand. Sonya looks around the alley cautiously. A deep male voice begins to pour out of the walkie talkie.

VOICE: Sonya, are you there?

Sonya gives the creepy alley a glance once more and begins to talk on the walkie talkie.

SONYA: Yes, I'm here Jax.

JAX: Do you see anything?

SONYA(Quietly):No.

JAX: Witnesses said that the suspect ran into that alley.

Sonya swallowed hard and licked her lips.


SONYA: Well what does she look like?

JAX: She's wearing some type of purple outfit and goggles, she climbs buildings like some type of cat. I don't know about you but it sounds like something from outworld or somethin.

SONYA: Jax that's impossible, How could some one from outworld get into earth without us and the Outworld Investigation Agency knowing? This is Chicago Jax.

JAX: Yeah well check the place out for atleast another five minutes or so, if you do not see anything you could come back to headquaters.

SONYA: Jax?! What do you mean?

But all Sonya could here was static. Sonya hit the walkie talkie with her hand, but she could still not get a signal. Sonya threw the walkie talkie into an abandoned barrel of acid. The walkie talkie began to sink and melt.

SONYA: Son of a bitch!

Sonya kicked a can in frustration. Tonight wasen't going good for her at all. First she had been told by Raiden that some type of "being" who resembeld a bat was in outworld. Then some type of man wearing clown make up was somewhere in order realm causing chaos. Now there was some type of "Catwoman" right here in Chicago? What in the wotld is going on?

Sonya sighed as she began to pull out her gun. She then proceeded to walk a little deeper inside the alley. Once she had reached the end of the alley, she closed her eyes in relief.

SONYA: Ok, now it's time to go home.

But as Sonya turns around, we see that from up above her is a figure on a rooftop of a nearby building, watching her. Sonya moves out of frame and so does the figure. As Sonya begins to walk cautiously back out of the alley with her gun drawn, she hears a noise. Sonya turns around and see's that there is a cat sitting on the ground, meowing friendly at her. Sonya smiles as she bends down and begins to pet the cat.

SONYA: Oh my, what a cutie you are!

As Sonya finishes petting the cat, she see's that it has a tag on it's neck. She reads it.


SONYA: Midnight? Is that your name?

The cat meows as if answering.

SONYA: Did you run away from your owner, Midnight?

The cat licks her hands. Sonya then scoops up the cat in her arms and turns around. That is when a figure from the sky drops and kicks Sonya into the face. Sonya falls to the ground hard. The cat runs to Sonya's attacker and begins to lick her boots. We now see that Sonya's attacker is CATWOMAN. Dressed in a purple suit with purple goggles.

Catwoman scoops Midnight into her hands and gives the cat a kiss.

CATWOMAN: Puurr-fect work Midnight. Now let me finish her!

Catwoman throws Midnight aside and walks up to Sonya's body. Catwoman grins in triumph. She then bends down and sits on Sonya's stomach. Sonya's eyes begins to flutter and after several seconds, she finally opens then.

Sonya holds back a scream as Catwoman begins to caress her smooth face with her claws.

CATWOMAN: Oh my, what a beautiful woman you are.

SONYA: Who are you!

Catwoman's evil grin gets wider.

CATWOMAN: Your murderer....

Catwoman brings her face closer to Sonya's and closes her eyes as she licks Sonya's face.

CATWOMAN: Hmmm....delicious..

At that very moment, Sonya grabs her gun and shoots Catwoman in the arm. Catwoman screams in pain and gets off of Sonya. Sonya then jumps and aims the gun at Catwoman.

SONYA: What is your name?


Catwoman is in so much pain that it is extremely hard for her to speak, but she manages to.

CATWOMAN: My name is Selena Kyles...

SONYA:And why Selena, are you causing trouble in this city tonight?

Catwoman begins to smile in spite of the pain.

CATWOMAN: Four murders? That isen't trouble....it's more like a treat.

Sonya squints her eyes.

SONYA: Well Selena, I hope you find hell a big treat!

Sonya pulls the trigger on the gun......but nothing happens. Sonya then realizes that she had just used her last bullet.

CATWOMAN: Whats the matter officer? Cat got your bullets?

Catwoman opened her left hand to reveal three bullets.

SONYA: Enough of this, you're under arrest!

Sonya walks up to Catwoman and turns her around and pushes her hard against the wall as she begins to put the handcuffs on her.

CATWOMAN: Oh yes officer.....please be gentle....this is my first time after all.

SONYA: Shut up!

CATWOMAN: All we are missing is the whip cream.

SONYA: I'm warning you....

CATWOMAN: And the whip....oh yeah...I have it!

Catwoman quickly removes her hands from the cuffs and pulls out a long whip that was hanging from her in the back like a tail all along. Catwoman hits Sonya with the whip and Sonya screams in pain.

It begins to rain as the two women begins to do battle. Sonya throws an energy ring at Catwoman but Catwoman avoids it and jumps on to Sonya and begins to scratch at Sonya's face. Blood falls as Sonya's face begins to get horribly disfigured.

Sonya manages to throw Catwoman off of her. Catwoman lands on the ground and Sonya jumps on her stomach.

CATWOMAN: AHHHHHHH!

Catwoman begins to cough up blood. Sonya jumps off of Catwoman and steps back just as Catwoman jumps back up. The two stare at one another with so much ferocity and inrtensity. Then, as thunder and lightening begins to mix in with the rain...the two women charges at one another and then...

It's pretty good, but it's far too much dialogue and not enough characters to support the crossover.

Trailers and Intros should be more along the lines of Tekken. Less dialogue and dull dramatic sequences and more music montages of CG ass kicking and subtle character introductions.

What you wrote sounds like more a short movie/animated clip rather than a trailer. The trailer should be exactly similar to the teaser we had, while showing off the new gameplay aspects, introducing more characters, and showing some in-game or CG ass kicking (a la SF, Tekken, SC, etc...)
so.. it's like deception.. where mileena and baraka fight

Great Movie Clip, but as a trailer? no.

Mortal Kombat is known for rarely having the characters have diolouge.

Unless they are the narrator, of course.

And I like the rare times when they speak, like when Jax said "What else you got?" to Quan Chi in the MKA intro.


Trailers for video games, especially fighting games should have if not none, then very little diolouge (unless it has a narrator). Just look at Super Smash Bros Brawl's trailers, they made me want to get the game so bad, with no diolouge.

I am not criticizing you or your trailer (its not quite bad actually), it just wouldn't fit as a trailer. But a cut-sene, or maybe in the comic would be perfect.

Yeah sounds great, but only as a short clip grin
But I really like the idea. Midway could release some short clips like this.
That would be awesome. But not for a trailer.
But still sounds good, as I read it I was liturally picturing how this might
look, aha awesome :)
Hey did you get the cat's name from the old Batman TV series ?
I remeber her cat being called Midnight...I think...good times :)

LOL, thanks. I actually got midnight from(don't kill me" the catwoman movie. I wanted Catwoman to stay Selena Kyle but I wanted to throw hints at the movie and also Batman Returns with the whole "licking face" thing.

And king of kings, I get sick of just the same old characters promoting everything.

That was an excellent read!

Good job with the way you developed the story. I do agree with the rest however, that this works best as a mini movie or short clip to promote the game or something, or MAYBE as just one part of the intro (a long intro by the looks of it, lol).

I can already picture this as an awesome high res movie in the game. I loved the part were Midnight tricks Sonya and when Catwoman seats on top of her with all her nasty double-meaning comments...such a perv!

I really liked the end btw, with the 2 charging at each other.

Im one who thinks the intros of MK should be deeper and have more dialogue. I like that.

Once again, excellent piece! It was a fun read and you managed to capture both characters personalities quite well (though Im not sure Sonya would had been s).

Not bad at all man. I could see this as a cut scene or part of a larger intro. Nice and descriptive and fun to read. Though, as others have said, really doesn't fit for a trailer. Great job none the less!

EXT NIGHT
Shot of the black sky -- the roar of a storm as chunky rain falls in streaking lines.

Camera pans slowly down across a dark (graveyard) landscape.
A faint "tink tink" sound, like tapping on glass, gradually grows ever so slightly louder, as the camera pans across revealing the dark, muddy landscape.

A steamy mist creeps into frame as we circle around the legs Sub-Zero, whose cold is freezing the raindrops before they hit him. He turns slightly into his own close-up. His pale eyes are squinted -- focused! In a neutral, but ready stance, he leans his head toward one shoulder, all of this revealed in a brief moment punctuated bya FLASH of lightning and a CLAP of thunder!

Cut to a wider shot of Sub-Zero in a muddy open area -- the centre of the graveyard level. The fssssh of the rain is broken by a sudden rustling. Sub-Zero turns quickly as we go to another tighter shot, revealing behind him the black silhouette of Batman leaping through the air, lit only by another flash of lightning that outlines his cape.

Close to the ground we see past Sub-Zero's out-of-focus boot, to see Batman in the distant mid-ground rising like a living shadow. Another flash of lightning punctuates the drama.

Tight on Batman as he squints intently to a fast zoom out as he whips his arms out from under his cape (with another flash of lightning) and tosses a batarang in Sub-Zero's direction!

Almost too fast to be seen, the batarang whips past Sub-Zero, who turns to watch it hurtling through the rain, into the darkness of the graveyard. The projectile buries itself in the chest of a Tekunin warrior that drops to it's knees as sparks burst from the wound of the imbedded batarang.

Pull back fast over Sub-Zero's shoulder (still looking at the falling Tekunin fighter), to Batman who retracts his arms back into his black cape, whilst still maintaining something of a ready stance.

Tighter on Sub-Zero, facing away from camera, as his hunched shoulders start to vibrate. At first the muffled noises are obscured by his back and the rain, but as Sub-Zero starts to flex more the abstract noises start to become more clear.

Zoom to a close-up of Sub-Zero who, bathed in light by another flash of lightning, spins around to reveal his contorted face bobbing behind the mask as he cackles with insane laughter. His cheeks and eyebrows raise almost beyond a natural grin.
The rain begins to turn to a misty haze as Sub-Zero gathers the moisture around him toward his hands.

Back to a tight close-up on Batman who lowers into a more readied stance, and squints his eyes once more.

BOOM!

Mortal Kombat versus DC Universe!

Too long and too much talking. It would be a good cutscene but it's way too long to be a trailer.

Basically have the same opinion as everyone else. Good cut scene, but not a good trailer. A few parts of it were a little "off" as well, but overall it was good stuff.

However I have one question; why Chicago?

Very cool! I like it smile (Didn’t you post something like this in another thread btw?)

I would only change the ending though. It could be cool to have it end with both characters on-screen somehow, then have the BOOM or the image fading for a more dramatic effect.

Actually, it could work fantastically as a trailer with less dialogue imo.

And I agree with you its time to see more trailers and awesome cinematics featuring more then Subby and Batman (or Scorp and Super as its possibly to see happening soon).
