Chapter 2 – Uncharted Territory

 
Kang and Raiden then walked around and Raiden envisioned that Kang would be the one who would defeat Tsung. He did not tell Kang that he thought that he would be the one because Kang would get a feeling of overconfidence of dealing with the outcome of the fight. Throughout the conversation, Raiden asked that if Kang was ready to travel to the island that Shang Tsung is hosting the tournament at. Kang agreed but also didn’t know where it was located because he wasn’t the select few that knew it. Raiden then told him that he knew it and then by means of magic, teleported to the island. Kang made sure that he had his sense with him.

 On the other side of the island, Johnny Cage pulled up with his huge boat with two of his servants. He docked on what appeared to be a dock and got off the ship. With a duffle bag and a suitcase, Cage walked to the island on foot. Cage then told the servants to stay until he wants to leave. They stay put for the time being.

Cage looked around and saw some other ships pull up by the docks and people began to walk off the ship. Not ordinary people. People that looked angry or hell bent like they want to trash something or quite possibly kill someone. Cage made sure to keep a good distance from them but they came closer to them. A few of them stopped in front of Cage a boasted about that a rich actor shouldn’t be here, after all, he just acts. They rips the bag and suitcase from Cage but he keeps his cool.

‘Could be my time to show off here.’ Cage thought.

One of the thugs notice who Cage was and threatened that he really wanted to test the ability of the fake actor. Cage took this a little harsh and got into a stance. The men lunged at Cage and successfully dodged all the hits. Two guys hit each other and the third man looked dumbfounded.

“Please, don’t fight what you know will happen.” Cage sarcastically remarked.

The men then made another lunged but again Cage dodged and the two men hit each other. They started fighting with each other and the third man watched the two fight. Cage picked up his stuff and left with the thugs attention diverted.

A rather loud horn sounded and everyone looked over to see an old rustic ship cruising into the docks. Cloaked figure walked off the boat and a man that looked old then walked off with two ninjas. Cage thought that this might be Shang Tsung but didn’t know who the ninjas were but knew the outfit of their association. Cage then also noticed a boat that seemed familiar to him, following Tsung’s boat but turned to dock on another pier. A woman got off and ran aboard the empty rustic ship. Cage walked over and when she came out, Cage caught her off guard and she popped him into the mouth.

“Don’t interfere with police business.” Sonya said, angrily.
“I was just saying ‘hi’.” Cage responded.
“Oh… wait… I know you. Your that actor on those movies.” Sonya looked a little surprised.
“Yeah, I am. Can I shake your hand or should I expect a violent slap?” Cage joked around a little.

The two conversed a little and Cage found out the mission that she was on. Turns out that she saw Kano get on this ship and she followed it ever since. So everything cancels out and he must be on this island somewhere. Cage mentioned that he would help her find him. She advise not too since she doesn’t want his career life in danger. Cage has some backtalk answer for that.

The two walked up to a seem-to-be castle and entered. Tables with names were out and about. Cage found his name right next to Sonya’s and Liu Kang. Cage wondered who Kang was until he came in and sit down.

“I didn’t see you arrive, how’d you get here?” Cage asked
“Oh, uh… The God of Thunder and I teleported here.” Kang said to throw him off but the truth.
“Um, yeah.” Cage turns his head as to say, ‘Psycho’.
