Mortal Kombat One-Shots

Mugged (Johnny Cage)

Johnny walked down a alley he used as a shortcut to get home. He had just gotten out of a party at a club and wanted to get to bed as he realized he was shooting some scenes in the morning.

Typically, Johnny never really cared if he came to work too hungover or even drunk but this movie was his big break. A way for him to get into a-list films. A way for him to get popular.

He stumbles down the alley way, trying to text his then girlfriend, Kris, on his Nokia phone that he was coming home early. They were all the rage and he had just gotten his hands on it. It was nice to be able to text Kris more.

Johnny looks up from his phone. He sees a group of 3 people standing in front of him. Johnny walks slower, not wanting to get into trouble. He tries to walk beside them, trying not to get noticed but a hand takes his shoulder.

Johnny had been practicing karate with many different masters ever since he was just a kid when he had to fend of his bullies. He travelled all around the world when he got his black belt, wanting to get even better.

This is why when he was touched, Johnny had gotten a hold of the man, taking his hand off of his shoulder. He turns to face the attacker. "What do you want?" Johnny asks them. "Your wallet." Johnny looks down into the mans other hand. There was a gun. Johnny sighs. Not out of fear but out of annoyance. Pulling a gun on him? It seemed a bad idea giving he was a world renowned karate champion.

"You really want to do this?" Johnny cheekily says, putting his hands up as a joke. "Yeah, I want your wallet." The man sounds angrier, pulling the gun closer to Johnny's chest. "Fine, fine." Johnny starts going through his pockets, patting his legs as to try and feel it. He takes his right hand out of his pocket and swings his hand upward, smashing his fist into the mans chin, making him fall over. The man stumbles back up to his feet holding his jaw in the hand that used to hold a gun. The gun now sits in between the two of them. Johnny holds his hands up, one already bruising. The man tries to grab Johnny. He pushes him off of him. This gets the attention of the other two people. They run over to the man, ready to fight. "3 on 1, this isn't fair." Johnny jokes, kicking into the original man's feet, throwing him to the floor.  "For you." Johnny chuckles cheesily, getting up quickly. The man on the right throws his fist trying to hit Johnny in his chest. Johnny blocks it, grabbing the mans arm and stretching it to the wrong way. As the second man tries to hit him in the back, he crouch's, making the man hit the other. As the two men are dazed, Johnny goes into the splits, punching them up with both of his hands. All 3 men lay on the ground, Johnny standing over them. He goes to the original man, stepping onto his stomach, making the man groan from pain. He picks the gun up from beside the limp man and puts it into his pocket. "Never gonna do that again." Johnny thinks to himself, hoping for the men to stop what they had done to him.
