Hey guys i'm recently getting into writing and film and I love Mortal Kombat so I decided to just mess around and I came up with a scene for an imaginary movie to a sequel to an imaginary reboot to the Mortal Kombat movies which if I had it my way would make it rated R. If I were to make a movie I would make it as close to the actual storyline as possible to the games. This scene here shows Johnny Cage being recruited to aid the forces of light against Shao Kahn in Outworld set during the events of MK2. Enjoy and please tell me what you think.




INT. MOVIE SET. DAY

Cage is standing in front of a green screen with actors dressed in different Mortal Kombat suits. Cage is wearing regular attire and is talking on a cell phone while pacing back and forth in the directors area.

Cage
Look, I don't care how much money it's gonna cost it's going to be a hit alright Dwight? We'll make it back 10 fold

Cage is listening into the phone.

Cage
Yeah, that's right.

Cage
I don't care what the critics think of my sanity It's going to say that its based on a true story!

Cage
Alright, I'll consider a few things... shoot

Cage making awful facial expressions.

Cage
Okay first we're not casting a godamn swim suit model to play Lt. Sonya Blade, don't get me wrong she's a fox and a half but we need to create that authentic feeling, this is what I want you to do. Look at all headshots that have women with experience in the military and make sure they don't look like they got beat by bars of soap in a sock got it? And another thing, make sure she can act, i'm not trying to make some B rated movie, god knows how many of those I've been through. I want whoever we cast to know that will be going through boot camp and knowing everthing a Lt. Should know about being an Lt (Listens into the phone) I know that it's going to cost me alot if I have to i'll fund it myself, get it done. I want this Sonya blade to get my blood rising like the real one so you know what you gotta do.

Listens for a while

Cage
Okay music let's hear your ideas...Are you kidding me? Hip Hop soundtracks? You got to be smoking something man I'm not appealing to just the younger audience with this movie, everyone should watch this movie I don't care if you're on life support if you're a human being you're going to want to watch this.(Listens) Well if that's the case we might as well have a godamn techno trance song and put it as the main theme, horrible idea Dwight, why did I hire you again?... I want orchestras, instruments, think on a grand scale like Star Wars. I'll lay out the storyboards and I want to meet with Hanz on this so set it up.

Raiden approaches Cage while he's on the phone. Cage being on the movie set believes him to be a man in a costume set to play him.

Raiden
Johnny Cage...

Cage
(To the phone)Mmmm Hmmm. okay I like the sound of this. Excuse me buddy. (Points at Raiden and turns his back to speak on the phone)

Raiden
I am not one that you turn you're back to mortal!

Cage
Dwight hold on a sec..

Holy shit, you got Raiden spot on buddy! Not bad for an understudy, what are you Chris's stunt double? Haha I might as well give him the boot and have you play the part.. Let me hear another line.

Raiden
Still the fool John Carlson...

Raiden's eyes sparckle and all the ligths in the stage area explode leaving them both in darkness till Raiden emits light from his aura.

Cage
Umm... Dwight. Let me call you back.

Raiden
Many people have died in the Mortal Kombat tournament for generations and you mock them by putting on this charade!?

Cage
Woah woah woah, this has nothing to do with a charade Raiden, every movie I participate in I take seriously 110 percent. If anything you should be one to appreciate what I'm trying to do here.

Raiden
Silence!

Cage
Jeez, you're worse than my exec producers, look I'm doing all of this because I have no idea what happened to Sonya, to Liu and I want them to be remembered. I want all the people that died in that tournament to be remembered and I want my story to be told. I deserve this, hell everything I've been through deserves to be seen by everyone.

Raiden
And desecrate what Mortal Kombat is all about? It's secrecy and its subtleness to the Shaolin? To the Elder Gods?

Cage
Listen pal, it's been about four months after the shit hit the fan, All I remember is drifting alone in what I thought was the godamn bermuda triangle. Top that off with the United States military basically interrogating me for I don't know how many days. And now months later you decide to show up to what? To shut my production down? To keep something like Mortal Kombat a secret to the general public?

Raiden
There is much bigger things going on in this world than this attempt show what occured Johnny Cage, and even bigger things occuring in the world beyond this one.

Johnny Cage
What do you mean?

Raiden
You think you escaped Shang Tsung's island merely by chance? It was I that saved you from the Island. I saved you from the wrath of the Outworld a place where war is considered peace, a place where beings like Shang Tsung are bred and even more viscious beasts lurk.

Johnny Cage
Alright.... You're telling me that on top of all these kookie people with magic and extra limbs and oh yeah can also re-shape their own bodies that there is an entire planet of these freaks?

Raiden
It goes way beyond a mortal's comprehension.

Johnny Cage
Okay then I guess I can comprehend with my little mortal brain that there's got to be a reason why you decide to pop up like you always do and now mention this Outworld place to me, what's going on Raiden?

Raiden
Although Earth is safe for another ten generations of Mortal Kombat, it appears that your efforts as well as Liu Kang and Sonya's have caused much disruption in the world beyond ours. I had recieved an invitation to participate in a new tournament and it will be held in the Outworld, only I fear for the worst.

Johnny Cage
You..... scared? this don't sound so good.

Raiden
What you are unaware of is that Shang Tsung is not the only being intent on causing chaos in our realm. Shang Tsung serves the Emperor of Outworld.

Johnny Cage
You mean Shang Tsung has a boss? Well ain't this just fucking peachy.

Raiden
His name is Shao Kahn and has conquered many realms and if in the last tournament had Liu Kang not defeated Goro, this world would be no more than an extension to Outworld where Shao Kahn rules with an iron grip and your soul will no longer be in your own possession.

Johnny Cage
So what do we do now?

Raiden
Shang Tsung has invited all the survivors of the tournament to participate in a new tournament held in Outworld. With our victory we can put an end to Shang Tsung and his schemes and negotiate with Shao Kahn to leave Earthrealm in peace.

Johnny Cage
You believe what Shang Tsung says is true? C'mon even for a god you're not that gullible.

Raiden
Bright as always Johnny Cage, Shang Tsung has decieved for thousands of years and his treachery is not beyond my awareness, that is why I will be participating in this tournament aswell.

Johnny Cage
Well I'll be, we got a thunder god on our side.

Raiden
No... In Outworld I will not be as powerful as I am in this realm, I will be mortal as well.

Johnny Cage
Wait... What? That means you can...

Raiden
Die.. Yes but this is a matter I will discuss with the rest of you.

Cage
Rest of us? So Liu Kang and Sonya made it out too?

Raiden
Lt. Sonya Blade was not as fortunate as yourself do you remember what transpired on Shang Tsung's island?

Cage
Last thing I remember before blacking out was running for dear life against the angriest meanest four armed son of a bitch I ever fought. Sonya was there and so was Kano that guy with the Terminator eye, the rest... the rest is a blur I remember falling and that's it.

Raiden
I managed to save you but was unable to get to Sonya in time.

Cage
Damn... So she's..umm dead?

Raiden
No, that I don't believe her and the mercenary Kano were lost in a dimensional portal into the Outworld.

Cage
So that means there's a chance that if I do participate in this pardon my french, bullshit tournament that I'll have a chance to bump into Sonya again?

Raiden
It is possible, and knowing Shang Tsung she will be used against us, for now let us assume that she is in the Emperor's possesion.

Cage
Alright, you don't have to say anymore... I'm in.

Raiden
Very well, you do know that this is much more dangerous than Shang Tsung's tournament.

Cage
Yep, life or death scenario I get it, but how the hell else am I gonna get my credibility?

Raiden
When this deed is done, perhaps you can make another one of these....films.

Cage
Haha, funny didn't think you had a sense of humor. So where do we start?

Raiden
You are to seek out Liu Kang.

Cage
Liu made it!?

Raiden
Yes.

Cage
Great news, where can I find him?

Raiden
You will find him at the Shaolin Temples where he will be in mourning.

Cage
What his dad die or something?

Raiden
I'd rather speak of it.

Cage
Alright... so alright Raiden beam me up let's go there.

Raiden
You're the ever resourceful one find a way to get there. I will see you at the Shaolin Temples in a day or two.

Cage
You gotta be kidding me.

Raiden
You did say I had a sense of humor.

Raiden teleports from the room.

Stage crew and others run into the area.

Production Manager
What the fuck happened Cage? Are you alright?

Cage
Yeah.... Yeah... fine hey lights are banged up tell the guys to take the day off.

Production Manager
What? Send them home? What are you going to do?

Cage

Prodcution Manager
We got coffee here where you getting coffee?

Cage
China, i'll see you later.. and if i don't well... go to hell.

Cage starts running off into the lot

Production Manager
Wait Cage! Wait!
