Kitana...

I have something for you.

It will protect you.

It's beautiful, Father.

This was a gift from Lord Raiden.

The God of Thunder.

If anything were to happen to me,

he's always listening.

Shao Kahn is arriving, Your Majesty.

What happens if you lose?

Don't worry about that.

But what if he's too strong?

Strength is not a closed fist.

Strength is here,

and here.

Be strong, Kitana.

Jerrod, our king! Jerrod, our king!

Shao Kahn, Emperor of Outworld,

sought to unite the various realms under one rule.

His.

But the Elder Gods had put certain precautions in place.

Our fates would not be settled by the size of our armies.

They would be decided by combat.

The rules were simple.

If one realm could win ten tournaments in a row,

it would be given dominion over the other.

Outworld would be allowed to pillage Edenia's resources.

Enslave our people.

This was the final tournament. Our last chance.

All of our greatest warriors had already fallen.

Only one fighter remained.

My father,

King Jerrod of Edenia.

But he faced Outworld's greatest warrior.

Shao Kahn himself.

They will never bow to you.

We shall see.

Never!

Kitana, close your eyes.

Close your eyes right now.

No!

No!

No!

Edenia now belongs to me.

Kneel. Or you'll die.

Your father shouldn't have brought you here.

Kitana, you're my daughter now.

Kitana!

Yield.

You cannot be serious.

You're the one who taught me, everything's a weapon.

You yield.

What do you have there?

It's nothing.

Jade.

It was 20 years ago today

the Emperor named me as your bodyguard.

I know what Shao Kahn took from you.

And if you had been vicious or cruel to me,

no one would have blamed you,

but you treated me like family.

Like a sister.

You are my sister.

In every way that matters.

Um, I got you something. For the tournament.

I was told that a proper princess

is supposed to sit around on pillows, fanning herself.

Then I thought

you are not exactly the pillow type.

These are amazing.

Hello, Mother.

I was beginning to think you were avoiding me.

I've been busy. Training for the tournament.

Good. Because I have petitioned

the Elder Gods for the tournament to begin.

Let Raiden scrounge for his little champions.

They will simply be the first to die

and Earthrealm will be mine.

Why is he here?

I have a task for Shang Tsung.

I hope you bring good news, Sorcerer.

My spies have located the relic.

It was last seen in Raiden's temple

where it was stolen by the mercenary, Kano.

We seek the Amulet of Shinnok.

It is said the amulet can heal any wound.

Transform a man into a god.

To charge the amulet would require

an impossible amount of power.

We would need to capture a star from the heavens.

A star...

or a god.

Outworld has issued their challenge

and the Elder Gods have spoken.

When the sand is gone, the first round will begin.

Mortal Kombat is upon us

and yet we are still short one champion.

It's showtime.

You should have brought more guys.

Man, Johnny Cage got old as fuck.

Attention fans,

don't miss your chance to meet your favorite influencers

and YouTube stars in Autograph Alley.

All right, everyone, get in close.

Black Orchid!

It's showtime.

Johnny Cage.

Hey, guys. I'm off the clock.

Mr. Cage, you have been chosen for Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat, huh?

What's that? Some kind of fan film?

It's a fighting tournament.

Yeah, not really my thing anymore.

Unless it's a paying gig?

More like a "fate of the entire human race" gig.

Tell me you're not some crazy fans.

Definitely not fans.

All right. All right.

You don't have to say "definitely."

You have been chosen

as one of the champions of Earthrealm.

The gods have selected you, Mr. Cage.

All right, I think it's time for you guys to fuck off.

But, hey, love the cosplay. What's that?

Big Trouble in Little China? Fantastic film.

Listen, I know what it sounds like,

but he's telling the truth.

Very soon the champions will be summoned to fight

and you will be among them.

The fate of your world

rests on the outcome of this tournament.

Fantastic. I will see you there.

Thanks for coming, drive safe,

and, uh, say hi to Dumbledore for me.

You're gonna have to show him.

Holy shit.

How are you doing that?

Come with us, Mr. Cage,

and discover the man you were meant to be.

Now, are you coming or what?

Where the hell am I?

It's okay. You're still on Earth.

Welcome to Raiden's Sky Temple.

Watch this.

Robot arms. That dude's got robot arms.

We served in the Army together.

That's Jax Briggs. Special Forces.

That's Cole Young.

His suit absorbs attacks and makes him stronger.

He's a descendant of Scorpion.

One of Earthrealm's greatest warriors.

Oh.

That's Liu Kang.

He's the best fighter we got.

- He shoots fire? - Mm-hmm.

I feel like that's cheating, but okay.

It kind of feels like bullshit

that y'all have these crazy powers

and I'm just, you know, incredibly handsome.

It could take months of training

to unlock your powers.

We don't have that kind of time.

Yeah, well, whose fault is that?

I mean, if you knew this was coming,

why'd you wait till the last second to find me?

We used to have another champion. Kung Lao.

Oh, great, so I'm just the fucking sub.

He was murdered. By Shang Tsung.

Wait. Murdered?

Come on. You can't be serious. Right?

I mean, that's, like, gotta be against the rules.

You can't just go around killing people.

It's called Mortal Kombat for a reason.

Yo, Gandalf, send me back. I wanna go back.

- Johnny, wait. - No. No.

You said tournament which implies rules,

and a referee, and I don't know, maybe a medic.

Not some fucking Squid Game murder party.

Dude wants to quit, just let him go.

We don't need him.

Look, you wanna step in the octagon

with a bunch of happy assholes

that don't know how to lose, go right ahead.

But I don't have Transformer arms,

or shoot lightning bolts or fireballs,

or do whatever the fuck it is Flame Fingers does,

so forgive me if I don't sign up to get mulched.

You are not wrong, Mr. Cage.

Nine times, we have been challenged.

And nine times, we have lost.

And now, 20 years later,

Shao Kahn seeks to add Earthrealm to his dominion.

This is a war for the fate of your world.

Look, Cage, I get it. We all do.

Some stupid fucking cosmic lottery

decided that we're the ones that get to save the world.

Shit is terrifying.

You wanna know the last thing I did

before coming here?

I said goodbye to my wife and my little girl.

The two most important things in my life.

And there's a damn good chance

I'm never gonna see them again.

And I'm okay with that.

Because I know if I die out there, I'm dying for them.

We lose one more time, the Earth is gone.

And our only chance is to face this together.

You, Johnny Cage, are a part of this now.

Fuck that.

Johnny, even if you walk away,

the Elder Gods can still summon you to fight.

Not if they can't find me.

So what are you gonna do, huh?

You just going to go hide?

No, first I'm gonna drink every beer on the planet,

then I'm going to hide.

Because this shit's got nothing to do with me.

I'm not some great warrior.

I'm not some champion.

Okay? I'm an actor.

Hmm.

And before that, you were the guy

with five black belts and a world title.

Yeah, I saw some of those old fights.

Man, you could have been one of the best.

But I wasn't. And that was a long time ago.

That guy you want is dead and buried.

Or maybe he's still in there, trying to get out.

Hey, listen...

I'm like 90% sure I had an aneurysm

and this is some kind of fucked up coma dream,

but on the off chance this shit is real,

best of luck with the whole saving the world thing.

You should know that when you died,

it was not your so-called friends who brought you back.

It was not Lord Raiden,

the Great Pretender.

It was Shao Kahn.

Rise now,

as a champion of Outworld.

Sire, we retrieved the package.

Quan Chi!

I am told you sent your followers to Earthrealm.

What were they doing there?

Simply retrieving some lost property, my lady.

By order of your father.

What is that?

I believe it's called...

a "Kano."

One Sling Dog please.

You're Johnny Cage.

That's what the tab says.

Holy shit.

I freaking loved Citizen Cage when I was a kid.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

Dude, you know what they should do?

They should do another Citizen Cage.

Like a reboot.

Come on, man. Give me a break.

Nobody wants that.

What?

You think the world is crying out

for a Johnny Cage comeback? Huh?

No. They want gritty, they want grounded,

they want Keanu Reeves

murdering a thousand fucking dudes with a pencil.

That's what people wanna see.

Not some dinosaur doing a bunch of karate poses.

That shit went out in the '90s.

I thought it was pretty cool.

Where's my fucking eye?

Blondie.

The tournament has begun.

Today you fight for Earthrealm.

For the lives of everyone you have ever known.

If you fail, the Earth fails with you.

Two of our champions will be chosen to compete today.

The winners will advance

to the next stage of the tournament.

The losers will be eliminated.

To the death.

That is up to the winner.

Maybe don't lose.

Well, looks like it's my lucky day.

Blade, you got this.

I thought you said two of us were fighting.

It's Johnny Cage with a brutal hit. He's down.

It's official.

Johnny Cage just became the youngest minor

to ever win this tournament.

This young man is destined for greatness.

You seem a little down, Johnny.

You're normally a little more animated.

Uno más, thanks, Ed.

Oh, shit.

I don't know what you're on about.

The amulet of what now?

Shinnok. Pay attention!

Don't look at me with that tone of voice,

you big bleached dildo.

I've just been dead. And my fucking eye's AWOL.

Stop your incessant whinging. We can build you another.

Why is he not a Revenant like the rest of them?

He was not worth the time or the effort.

This one barely has a soul left to corrupt.

Ha! You hear that? A fucking loophole.

Go, you good thing.

Where is the amulet you took from Raiden's temple?

I don't know, probably in my pocket

where I keep all the shit I steal.

Oh, right-oh.

Here we go. How about...

Nah, different temple. Well, hold on.

This could be...

Yeah. Should call her.

Ah! Here we are. Yahtzee.

Oi!

We could have left him dead.

Hey! First off, fuck off.

And you, where are you going with that?

I will take it to my father.

Unfortunately, Princess,

it appears you are needed elsewhere.

Oi, you creepy fucking mime.

I stole that fair and square.

Good luck.

Each flame represents a fighter.

The tournament ends when one side

has no champions left.

Hey. How's it going, babe?

Listen, I'm warning you,

I got a Saturn Award for best fight in a feature film,

so don't mess with me.

Whoa! Whoa. Easy, all right?

Let's just take a timeout here and talk about it.

Okay? I really don't feel comfortable hitting a girl.

Don't worry, you won't.

Whoa! Come on. Easy. Let's just talk about this.

Why are you so fucking mean?

Finish him!

Hmm.

It appears your side is already down a man.

Tragic.

And who are you?

Sindel. High Queen of Edenia.

Consort to the great Shao Kahn.

They send their queen to fight?

No. We send our best to fight.

Oh.

No offense, babe, but you look really fucking dead.

I was freed from my mortal bonds.

Shao Kahn showed me

the pleasures of a life eternal.

Perhaps I'll do the same for you.

What a pretty trick.

Would you like to see mine?

No, actually I'm good.

Fuck you! You stupid bitch!

It appears our sides are now even.

What'd I miss?

Fuck yeah! Look who's back.

Well? How bad was it?

Zombie queen. Pit of spikes. Yeah.

- So pretty goddamn bad. - Ow.

- You okay? - Yeah.

What happened?

You were eliminated from the tournament.

You lost.

You are lucky, she was charitable and let you live.

Oi! Pennywise.

I've been looking all over this shithole for you.

You promised me a new eye.

And it better be one that shoots lasers.

- I have other priorities. - Like fucking what?

If it's putting on more eyeliner,

trust me, you're good.

All right? Come on, mate.

I am bumping into shit left, right, and center.

I mean, my peripheral vision is fucked.

Proper fucked, mate.

So come on. Chop-chop. Let's get to it.

Well, you don't have to do it right now.

I mean, you need to, you know, take a measurement.

Check the color or wash your grubby little hands.

All right, let's have a look.

Don't fucking roll it on the fucking ground, you grub!

Oi, the amulet.

I want that back. And don't fucking roll it.

You got your eye. Now leave me alone.

The amulet does not belong to you.

Its powers are well beyond

your meager understanding.

Idiot.

All right. Let's take this baby for a test drive.

All right.

One, two, three. Oh! Fuck! Snug.

Wow.

Holy shit, is that HD? That's pretty good.

How many eyes you made? Can you do me other one?

You seem troubled, Mr. Cage.

Yeah. Well, 'cause of me

Earth's odds just got 20% worse.

I had a chance to actually do something worth a damn

and I screwed it all up.

So, yeah, I'd say "troubled" just about sums it up.

What are those? Pills?

Huh?

Are they magic fighting pills?

Is that... Is that how you get your powers?

Bird seed.

Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bird seed. Yeah.

Well, I thought you were gonna give me some kind of lecture,

but yeah, chores are good.

You don't need a lecture.

You need perspective.

Perspective, huh?

There are eight billion people on this planet

and yet the gods chose you.

Perhaps they saw your true potential

as a champion of Earthrealm.

Maybe they made a mistake.

Maybe.

If I see the Elder Gods, I'll be sure to tell them.

Well, I'm glad you find this all so amusing.

Hey, great pep talk, by the way. Just nailed it.

Ouch.

You have done this before?

I've seen it done.

All right.

It's okay. The Princess Kitana has been my eyes and ears

inside the palace for many years now.

We know the risk you took coming here.

Thank you, Kitana.

Wait, are you telling me I got my ass kicked

by one of the good guys?

I had to make it look real. He was watching.

They found the Amulet of Shinnok.

It was in the possession

of a dead sellsword named Kano.

Son of a bitch.

If the Emperor finds a way to charge the amulet,

he would be unstoppable.

It would be like fighting a god.

Yeah, well, let's not do that.

My friend is in the tournament.

Jade was raised under Shao Kahn's army.

Do what you must, but do not make her suffer.

You went to another realm?

You followed me?

I am trying to keep you alive.

By spying on your friend.

By keeping my friend from making a mistake.

You are conspiring with Lord Raiden. The enemy.

I swore an oath, Kitana.

To serve as Shao Kahn's sword.

The second round of the tournament

will consist of three matches.

Jax, Cole, Liu Kang.

Kung Lao.

I have been given new life.

My son?

Look at that. Still part of this tournament.

But that's not why I'm here.

No!

No!

Attack now!

Imagine what one could do with such power.

Careful, Sorcerer, that doesn't belong to you.

The amulet must be bound to a mortal soul.

Once it has imprinted on you,

Raiden's power will be yours.

The amulet will give you immortality.

Well, this is fucking ominous.

I'm guessing you're Jade.

Let's get this over with.

I am told you carry the blood of Scorpion.

I look forward to spilling it.

You know you're fighting on the wrong side, right?

What the fuck do you have under there?

Shit.

Well, hello there.

I hope your ancestors are watching.

For what it is worth, I take no joy in this.

Then you're really going to hate this shit.

This is for my family.

For my friends.

For every moment that brought me here.

This is for Earth, you son of a bitch.

What?

Give my regards to the dead.

Go on, do it.

Why?

Your friend spared one of our guys.

Now we're even.

By the way, hell of a fight.

Kung Lao, what have they done to you?

Opened my eyes to the truth.

What truth?

Look around. The gods have abandoned their creation.

Only Shao Kahn can save us now.

One of those gods raised you. Loved you.

And you slit his throat.

Stop. Kung Lao, remember who you are!

You were my brother.

And when you're dead, when your realm falls,

we will be brothers again.

Don't make me do this.

I'll find a way to save you.

I'm going to bring you back.

But not today, brother.

Raiden!

- Is he? - He's alive. Barely.

He's been asking for you.

Liu Kang.

My son.

What happened?

I killed him.

I didn't have a choice.

I'm sorry.

Where's Cole?

He didn't come back?

Oh, shit.

Necromancer,

give me your greatest warrior.

The one they call Sub-Zero.

Bi-Han.

Rise now.

I am reborn.

Raiden's portal is already weakening.

It will not last when he is gone.

Why would they take his powers?

Shao Kahn has bonded with the amulet.

Stolen the powers of a god.

The only way to reverse the process

is to destroy the amulet.

Well, we'd better do it before the next round starts.

Mm-hmm.

So, let's use the portal.

Jump in, we grab the amulet of magic bullshit, destroy it,

and then get the fuck out of there

before he even knows we're there.

The palace has defensive wards in place.

Open a portal and they'll sense you at once.

So where does that leave us?

There is a tunnel beneath the castle.

It is the only entrance

that is not under constant watch.

Because?

Because it is the service entrance

for the Tarkatans.

What's a Tarkatan?

What?

Wait, what did you do?

I did not do this, Kitana.

You did.

Wait, Jade. Jade.

Are you the leader of this clan?

I am Baraka.

I am Liu Kang.

I know how your people have suffered

at the hands of Shao Kahn.

He uses you like slaves.

He treats you like wild dogs.

We are wild dogs.

We have come to end Shao Kahn's reign.

Will you help us?

Shao Kahn has an army.

Do you have an army?

No.

Then you're wasting my time.

Then I challenge you,

Baraka of Clan Tarkata, to single combat.

I decline your challenge.

Now leave.

You know, everyone keeps talking

Tarkatan this, Tarkatan that.

Big teeth, stabby arms, ooh, scary.

No one mentioned the fact that

you're all a bunch of giant fucking pussies.

All right, maybe don't insult the monsters.

I mean, do you have any idea who you're talking to?

I'm Johnny fucking Cage.

And this guy is Liu Kang.

Earth's greatest champion.

I mean, look, man, I get it. I'd be scared of him too.

But someday, when Shao Kahn's dead

and Outworld's been defeated,

you're going to have to tell all your little

Spirit Halloween monster grandbabies

that you had the chance to fight the great Liu Kang,

but you were too much of a coward.

I accept your challenge.

Okay.

Thanks for making him angry.

Hollywood Negotiating 101.

But not him.

My fight is with you.

Oh, boy.

Me?

Well, what did I do?

I find you annoying,

and I wish to kill you and eat you.

That would bring me immense satisfaction.

Is this guy serious?

Uh-huh.

Guys, I'm just a fucking actor, okay?

Johnny Cage is just a character I play. All right?

I have stuntmen that do this shit for me.

- You're gonna have to do it. - Oh, no, no, no.

Johnny will definitely die.

Oh, agreed. You're going to die.

Yeah, agreed. Hard agree!

One minute, bub.

Guys, you saw me in the tournament.

I... I can't do this.

No shit.

Enough!

We fight.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's set some ground rules, okay?

Not the face.

Weapon! I need a weapon!

Oh, shit.

Ugh.

Shh.

Oh, come on.

Oh.

Now stay down!

Oh, shit.

Well, this is a stupid ass way to lose.

All right, get up.

Get up.

You're an actor, so act.

All right, you big ugly fuck.

It's showtime.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Ooh! - Goddamn!

That... was the greatest fighting

I've ever seen!

Witness, my brothers and sisters.

The cunning,

the speed, the ferocity

of the one they call Johnny Fucking Cage.

You must share with me your knowledge.

Mold me in your ways.

And I will. I'll get right on that.

But first, we need a little favor.

I've brought you as far as I dare.

Tarkatans are not allowed in the castle.

Right.

You have done well, my pupil.

And someday I shall return, as promised,

and we will complete your training.

May the screams of your enemies

echo in your dreams.

And may their sweet fat melt upon your tongue.

Ah, yes. Mm.

And, uh, the same with you and... your enemies,

and your tongue and the sweet fat

be on your tongue too.

As well. And... rock on.

We're not going to make it in time.

We have to try.

Let's go, baby.

So, what punishment befits a wayward princess?

As you can see,

I ordered Quan Chi to resurrect her.

But perhaps your mother should have another accident.

Stop.

It may be hard to perform a resurrection

when her skull is dripping through my fingers.

Please!

Last chance, child.

- Where did you go? - Earthrealm!

I went to Earthrealm.

Did you now?

I went looking for Lord Raiden.

But he was gone.

So were his champions.

I do not know what happened to them.

I only know that I am alone.

Chain her up in the town square.

Let the princess's treason serve as a warning to all.

Jade.

I know she's like a sister to you.

That was no small thing you just did.

I still remember the little girl

we pulled from the fighting pits.

More animal than child.

But I see now I made the right choice.

We'll cover more ground if we split up.

Find the amulet. And don't get caught.

Come on, you're with me.

And what do we have here?

Raiden sends one of his sad little followers.

A gift from a dying god.

I am Liu Kang.

The last son of the dragon.

And I shall watch you burn.

The amulet.

Shit.

Go!

That's my goddamn partner!

Bi-Han!

Protect the amulet!

I'll keep it safe.

Fuck you.

Jax!

Jax!

You fucking animal!

You're next.

Fucking hell.

Oh, I know you. I've seen some of your movies.

They're all shit.

Look at that. Old Rock 'Em Sock 'Em's dead.

I'll cry later.

All right, boys. Over here.

You in the middle, a little that way.

And you there, just a step forward.

There.

Now, let's you and me talk terms.

Terms for what?

Now, what do you fucking reckon?

Old Kano's about to ride in on a big white horse

and save all your dumb fucking asses.

I told you to stop.

You forced his hand.

It was always going to end this way.

It is not too late.

Beg his forgiveness.

You cannot stand against him. None of us can.

He is too strong.

You are better than them.

Well, here he is.

Fucking hell, you've seen better days.

What do you want, Kano?

Well, right now I'm thinking

I want you lot to win this thing.

Bullshit.

Mate, have you seen Outworld?

Or Edenia?

I mean it's nothing but rocks, and sand,

and fucking sad people.

I don't want that.

I like air conditioning, and beer,

and bottomless breadsticks...

and tan lines, and one-night stands,

and threesomes, and foursomes,

Jack and Coke. Just Jack. Just coke.

And why should we trust you?

Because I know where Bi-Han's taken the amulet.

Netherrealm.

What's Netherrealm?

The realm of the dead.

A place of fire and punishment.

Sounds fun. I can't wait to get there.

And by the looks of things, you got enough juice

left in the tank to get us down there.

So, here's what I'm thinking.

We smash the amulet, we get your powers back.

Shao Kahn's mortal again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We kill that fucker.

Save the world.

Pretty Boy here gives me a wristy.

Everybody wins.

You dickheads in or what?

Let's fucking go.

I may not have enough power to bring you back.

And you will be stuck there.

And no one will ever know what you have done.

Still worth it.

You have changed, Mr. Cage.

It's called perspective.

Yeah, blah, blah, fuckity blah.

I thought you were right behind me. Chop-chop.

You will not survive in Netherrealm

without a guide.

You do not belong here.

Holy shit.

I mean if this is Hell, you can sign me the fuck up.

What is this place?

Reality is thin in the Netherrealm.

It is a place where nightmares walk and hunt.

But dreams can be harnessed too.

If one's will is strong enough.

Fucking hell, you have got to try this peach, mate.

You know, they try to scare you with all the talk of

devils and pitchforks

and all that bullshit.

But I knew Hell would be a pretty fucking sweet place.

Go on.

Suit yourself.

We were sent by Lord Raiden.

We need a guide.

Then you have come to the wrong place.

I am sorry.

Bi-Han's alive.

Or is it Bi-Han.

No, I think it's Bi-Han. That Sub-Zero fucker.

You know, he killed your whole family or some shit.

I mean, they tried to explain to me,

but to be honest, I wasn't really listening.

I am Hanzo Hasashi of the Shirai Ryu

and Hell bends to my command.

Keeping the seat warm?

Raiden has sent his last warriors to Netherrealm.

They are going after the amulet.

That means there's no one left to guard Lord Raiden.

If we lose that amulet, we lose everything.

Shao Kahn will be stripped of power.

And our empire would fall.

Send me down there.

I will protect the amulet while you take care of Raiden.

I would think your loyalties would be with your princess.

Kitana made her choice.

I'm making mine.

How the hell are we going to find the amulet in this place?

Bi-Han is here.

Hanzo Hasashi,

this is not your fight, old man.

I'm not here for their war.

I'm here for your life.

You might be surprised.

I'm not the same man you killed.

I belong to the shadows now.

And they belong to me.

Looks like we're the main event.

Let's kill this fucker.

Just two more deaths

and then Earthrealm belongs to me.

Kano!

Oi, where are you going? This one's got the amulet.

Vengeance will be mine.

Kano!

Now would be a good time to use those powers, mate.

What powers?

Are you shitting me? You don't have any powers?

Just incredibly handsome.

Oh, we're fucked.

Grab it!

I got it.

How do we destroy it?

Well fucked if I know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Mate, I found it for you. Do I have to do everything?

But this is your plan.

Don't talk to me like that.

Why don't you check the instructions on the back?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Oh, here we go. Look.

One ring to rule them all.

One ring to go fuck yourself!

Why don't you leave the jokes to me?

You can stick to being a cunt.

Well, run!

I am the one you want.

Ah, fuck!

I finally understand.

Raiden told me I am not the chosen one.

Your death belongs to another.

My journey is to bring back Kung Lao.

This is not the end.

It is only the beginning.

Fight.

Congratulations, daughter. We just won.

Earthrealm is ours.

No.

One fighter still remains.

I renounce Outworld.

I renounce your legacy of pain and cruelty.

I renounce you!

Today I fight for Earthrealm!

So be it.

The amulet.

Never!

Get over here!

Hello, sunshine.

With fire, be cleansed.

Johnny Cage.

There are eight billion people on this planet

and yet the gods chose you.

You want to know my power?

It doesn't have to end like this.

You do not have to die.

One of us does.

For the first time in my life,

I am Johnny fucking Cage.

No.

You should be dead.

And you should be running.

No.

Weak. Just like your father.

Be strong, Kitana.

It's time for them to see you for what you really are.

Mortal.

Stop. No.

Please stand. Stand. Please.

We are proud Edenians.

We do not kneel.

Kitana, our queen!

Kitana, our queen!

Kitana, our queen!

You want to know what makes a hero?

It's not destiny.

It's not something you're born with.

It's discovering that sometimes

even one small light

is enough to hold back the darkness.

It's facing unimaginable loss...

and finding peace on the other side.

It's lifting up the ones you love, knowing...

that they'll be there to catch you when you fall.

It's searching for greatness,

then realizing you've had it in you this entire time.

I say all of this to Raiden

and he looks at me and he says...

"You... You have taught us so much, Mr. Cage.

Thank you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom."

And you know what I tell him?

What did you say?

I said, "That ain't no wisdom, bub.

That's perspective."

Strange. That is not how I remember it.

Oh. Yo.

I was just telling these guys

how we saved all the realms, together.

Oh.

All right. Look...

I may have taken one or two creative liberties.

Behold!

The human female you rescued from the pit of spikes.

Seriously?

Two or three creative liberties.

You know, I've got to give it to you,

I thought you'd go running back to Hollywood

first chance you got.

I made a promise to these guys.

Hollywood can wait.

Oh, shit.

Tell me there's not another tournament.

No. Outworld has been defeated.

Earthrealm has been saved.

So, uh, what the fuck are you doing here?

We have lost far too many of our champions.

It's time to bring them home.

Someone order a Necromancer?

He might look like Voldemort's nut sack,

but trust me, we're going to need this fucker.

Hey, g'day, Blondie. Long time no see.

You ready for your next lesson?

For the glory of Johnny Fucking Cage.

Let's go get our friends. Then we kill Kano.

Yeah. Good.
