Chapter Uno (1)
So, I was playing Mortal Kombat the other day and I just got whacked in the head by the inspiration bat. *Rubs head* That gets annoying after awhile...Anyways, here is the result. My first MK fic! Sorry if I misspell names or anything. Oh and obvisouly none of the characters belong to me or else I wouldn't be sitting in my slippers writing about them getting drunk. :)
Sleepover?
*1*
It was essentially Raiden's idea. But Fujin couldn't help but join in.
"I think it's perfect." He replied when his fellow god had suggested the plan. "Just what our soldiers need."
So it was settled then. The first official sleepover of the kombatants was to be that night at Johhny Cage's bachelor pad. It was after all a mansion that could fit all the invited guests.
First though, Raiden had to inform Johnny.
Johnny was just getting out of bed, even though it was already twelve in the afternoon. He was making his way to the kitchen to eat when he almost doubled over at the sight of the thunder god sitting at his kitchen table eating some Frosted Flakes.
"You need to organize your fridge." The god mumbled through his full mouth. "Can't find anything in there."
Johnny scratched his head, trying to remember exactly how much he drank last night. It was a wild party, after all.
"Uh-huh. Um, Raiden? What are you doing here?"
"Can't I drop in and visit? Am I really so unbearable?"
"Well no, but dude, you can't just drop in like this. It's kind of creepy. I mean, at least use the doorbell."
Raiden frowned. "What for? I'm a god. I have no need for doorbells."
Johnny Cage sighed. "Never mind. I'm starved so hand over the cereal."
Raiden handed the actor the box of flakes.
"So," Cage began, pouring the cereal into his bowl. "What brings you here, because I know it's not just for a visit. Please tell me I'm not needed in the other realms yet, because I seriously just started filming a new movie and I really can't take any time to go on any bloodbath mission…"
Raiden shook his head. "No, of course not. No fighting for awhile." Under his breath he muttered, "I hope."
"So, nothing else?"
"Well," Raiden hesitated. Johnny raised a brow.
"What?"
"There was this thing Fujin and I thought might help you and the other fighters."
"Yeah, like what?"
Johnny waited patiently. "A kind of get together."
"Like a party?" Johnny's face brightened at the idea. "I partied last night like crazy, but I'm up for another."
Raiden smiled. "Really?"
"Yeah. Where's this party gonna be, anyways?"
"Um, well. Here."
Johnny spit out his cereal, milk spraying all over the god sitting across from him.
"Here?!"
"Sure. You have such a nice place, why let it go to waste?"
Johnny thought a minute. "Well, I guess-"
"Great. They'll be here at eight. Oh and make sure your guest rooms are clean." He added quickly. "Their spending the night."
With that Raiden was gone, leaving Johnny Cage to sit at his table and wonder how the hell he even got mixed up with this shit in the first place.
Later in Edenia
***
"A party? All right, let's go!"
"Mother, calm down. There's a meeting in the other room."
"Ooops."
The Edenian Queen and her daughter, along with their trusted guard, Jade, stood before Raiden in curiosity.
"Johnny Cage, huh?" Jade wondered. "Earthrealm?"
"Oh, that's right." Sindel remembered. "You don't really know Johnny, do you? He's wonderful, you'll fall head over heels."
"Mom," Kitana reproached.
"What? He's sexy."
Jade giggled.
"He is rather attractive." Raiden added, receiving odd looks from Kitana and her friend.
"I think we shall attend this get together of yours, Raiden." Sindel announced, gleefully. "We need a break from all this fighting."
"Speak for yourself." Kitana muttered, folding her arms.
"Oh, honey. You need to let loose. When was the last time you saw that monk of yours, Liu Kang?"
Kitana glared at her mother. "He's dead, mom."
Sindel made a face. "Oh, yeah. That's right. Sorry."
"Well, he's undead now." Raiden corrected.
"Still, it would be good to get away from everything." Sindel insisted. She looked to Jade. "What do you think, Jade?"
The dark skinned woman glanced at her queen and then at her princess. "Um, I don't really know…."
"Bah!" Sindel waved her away. "Doesn't matter anyway. I'm your queen and I'm Kitana's mother, so you both have to listen to me."
Raiden eyed the white haired Edenian before him with admiration. He liked a woman who took charge.
Sindel looked at him then, and smiled widely. "We'll be there."
Meanwhile in Earthrealm
***
"A get together?" Sonya Blade was a little bewildered at Fujin's invitation to a 'small get together'. She didn't really understand why they were sleeping over as well.
"Wait, we gotta bring our pajamas?" Jax asked just as confused. Sonya stifled a giggle at the big man using the word 'pajamas'.
"Isn't that like a sleepover?" He continued. "Man, I don't do sleepovers."
"There's going to be fine women in their nighties there and you don't want to come?" Fujin asked innocently. He looked at Jax with wide eyes while Sonya stifled yet another laugh as she heard the mighty wind god use the word 'nighties'.
Jax hesitated. "Well, when you put it like that…"
"Pervert." Sonya gave him a light sock on the shoulder.
"You know I only have eyes for you, Sonya baby."
"Oh shut up."
Fujin chuckled. "So you'll be there I presume?"
Sonya glared at him. "You presume right. But I won't enjoy a minute of it, I know that already. Don't we have more important things to do? Like, oh I don't know, save Earthrealm from evil."
"What is more important than bonding with your fellow kombatants? Saving the world can wait for one night. Live a little, Sonya Blade."
Sonya grumbled. "I'm alive, aren't I?"
But Fujin was already gone in a flash of smoke and Jax was leaving to go pack.
"Gotta go get ready to bond, Sonya. Especially with that Edenian princess. And her fine friend. And that one chick, Lei Mae…oh lord."
Sonya rolled her eyes. It was going to be a long ass night indeed.
***
"There." Johnny Cage sighed, looking around his decked-out house. "Perfect." He dusted off his hands. "Thanks guys." He said to the many tired maids and butlers who shuffled out the door. Being rich did have it's advantages...
"It looks like a real club." He thought aloud, glancing around his expensive house. The living room was all decked out in low lights of red, green and blue. The bar was freshly stocked with different kinds of drinks, the black table-top packed with food. Everything looked perfect. The one downside was that it was really dim in there, so that when the doorbell rang and Johnny rushed to get it he banged his foot on a chair.
He sucked his breath in frustration. "Raiden-damn-this-shit!" When he got to the door though, he hid his outburst with a wide grin and cheery greeting. "Hi! C'mon in!"
It was Kenshi and Ermac, tugging along two flannel bags that were needed for the night. Kenshi wore a dark, long sleeved shirt and dark pants. Ermac wore an almost identical outfit. Well, Johnny thought, I wouldn't take them for the daring fashionista type anyway.
"You guys are kind of early." He said instead, glancing at his Gucci watch. "It's barely 7:00."
"We decided that it was more polite to arrive early than late." Ermac stated simply and Johnny just replied with a weirded-out smile wondering if 'we' meant Kenshi and Ermac or just Ermac. He was a pretty freaky guy.
While they waited for an hour, they ate a few of the chips that were on the counter with the other food. While buying the food a few hours before, Johnny had realized that more than half of his guests weren't even human and he didn't know if they ate human food or if they even ate at all, but he figured it was always nice to have food out. Just in case. It was also funny to see Ermac grab a chip and turn around so that the other two kombatants wouldn't see him slip off his mask to eat it. I guess even ninjas with the souls of dead warriors inside them liked Dorritos too, Johnny mused curiously just as the doorbell rang and he had to get up answer it. He glanced at the clock. It was still only eight fifteen.
"Hey guys!" He greeted Jax and Sonya, who looked like she had lemons for breakfast as she carried two large black bags.
"Hello, Cage." She greeted monotonously.
"Hiya, Sonya baby." He smiled wickedly at her. "Like using my last name? You can have it, ya know."
"Ugh." She shoved past him. "I'll use it alright. I'll curse it, that's how I'll use it."
Jax and Johnny followed her in. The blonde actor snaked his arm around her waist. "You'll curse it every night, right?"
She elbowed him in he ribs. "Get off, you pig."
"That's not what you said last night."
"Shut the hell up!"
Johnny let her go though and Jax was still laughing as he searched the food and piled some chicken and steak on his plate.
"Whooo! Beer!" He grabbed two bottles. "You want one, Sonya?"
Sonya shook her head. "You think I'm crazy? I'm at a party with strange men. I'm planning on staying sober tonight."
Johnny leaned over to Kenshi and mumbled "Yeah right."
"Hey, butthead." Sonya called, smirking as Johnny turned around. "The door's ringing. I suggest you get it."
"That was harsh, Blade." He sighed dramatically, getting up to recieve the new guests. "You wound me deeply."
Sonya merely rolled her eyes, a habit, and went back to stealing chips off Kenshi's plate. Jax gave her a scolding glance, trying not to laugh.
The new guest was Sub-Zero, wearing his typical get-up. Johnny shivered slightly, thanking his lucky stars he had such good heating in his house. "Hey, Sub. How's it goin? Glad you could make it."
"I had to come." The cold man replied, his mask moving from his words.
"Well, it's nice to see you're so enthusiastic."
"Why wouldn't I be when Raiden puts a knife to your throat as you sleep and tells you that you have to attend a party or else you'd never see the sun again?"
"Um, yeah. Exactly." Johnny mumbled confused as the LinKuei master past him and raised his blue bag in hesitation. Johnny noticed then that the others had simply dumped there bags next to the entranceway. "Hey," he called to the others. "Thanks for being so polite. You really didn't need to ask where to put your shit at all."
Sonya crunched the chip in her mouth, a twitch in her cheek. "No problem Mr. Movie Star."
"Here, I'll take it." Johnny ignored the blonde and took Sub-Zero's bag. He grabbed the others and threw them in the jacket closet. Some guests.
He was about to return to the living room when the doorbell interupted him. "Who the hell is it now?" He whispered. "It's probably that freakin robot-dude."
It wasn't though. Not unless Cyrax had sprouted long black hair and breasts.
"Hi, Johnny Cage." Li Mei drawled, fluttering her lashes. "I've never been to your house before. In fact, I barely leave Outworld. You're house is really great."
From somewhere inside, Sonya coughed and a muttering could be heard. "Thinks she's some virginal, country bumpkin..."
Li Mei's smile hardened, but she only brushed past the Earthrealm fighter, who was busy assessing her. She was wearing a tight purple shirt that barely covered her stomach and black leather pants. Johnny secretly thanked Raiden as he took her bag and stored it with the others. It was really going to be a fun night.
In two hours everyone except the Edenians had arrived and the music was blasting. Kenshi and Jax were locked in an intense arm wrestling match with Sonya screaming at the top of her lungs. Li Mei was trying to hit on Ermac, who politally tried to fend her off. She rubbed her hand down his arm, smiling slightly.
"So, there's tons of warriors that make up your soul? It must be strange to have so many men inside you."
Sonya who couldn't help but overhear, whispered in Jax's ear. "She should know."
Jax burst out laughing, momentarilly letting down his gaurd. Kenshi siezed the opportunity and slammed his arm to the table in victory. Jax grumbled and glared at Sonya who smiled sheepishly. "It was funny, though, right?"
Suddenly, Johnny appeared from the bar, carrying a tray of shot glasses. "Shots!" He yelled, setting the drinks down on the table where Kenshi and Jax had been arm-wrestling.
"Oh no." Sonya began, starting to get up. "I'm gonna go get more chips."
Lei Mei crossed her legs, shaking her black stilletto slowly. "Poor blondie can't take the heat. She's not tough enough to drink with the big boys."
There was a chorus of "ohs" from the others, and Sonya stopped mid-walk and turned around. She smiled at the other female with venom. "I'm the best drinker out of all these losers and I'll prove it to you right now."
She marched back to her seat and plumped herself down. "Who's up for the challenge?"
Johnny handed her a shot while taking one for himself. "Here's to fighting!" He raised his glass, the others following. Sonya was the first to down the liqour, quickly taking another as the fluid ran temptingly down her throat.
"To Mortal Kombat!" She cheered before downing her second shot. "Give me another, Cage."
And so it kept on, each kombatant making a toast before greedily slopping down the shot. Lei Mei had somehow managed to escape after her fourth one, taking advantage of the loud commotion the drinkers caused. She was standing beside Ashrah at the large fishtank, watching the others and laughing as Sonya became even more intoxicated than she would've thought capable. Soon, the blonde woman was slurring and hanging over Kenshi.
Suddebly she perked up, raising her head to look at Cyrax who was near the radio. "Turn it up!" She yelled, stumbling to her feet. "I love this song! I just love this song!"
Despite her own words, Sonya was as drunk as could be and she was making her way to the other side of the room where a marble tabletop stood. The others all watched, laughing or cheering her on. Cyrax had raised the volume until they couldn't speak to each other without yelling. Johnny and the other male kombatants had followed as Sonya climbed the tabletop and proceded to drop on her knees and swing her blonde hair around. Johnny stood and stared up at his friend with his mouth agape. "Wow." Was all he could manage.
"I thought you weren't gonna get drunk!" Jax yelled to her.
She continued dancing. "What!?"
"I thought you weren't gonna get drunk!" He yelled a little more loudly.
"You wanna become a monk!?"
"Oh forget it!" He called, then turned to Kung Lao. "Not even halfway into the night and she's wasted." The music had slowed a little, the sound a little quieter and Sonya somehow managed to overhear.
"I'm not wasted, you bastard!!" She screamed stumbling down on her knees to look Jax in the face. She leaned precariously on the edge of the tabletop. "I'm dancing."
The doorbell rang again, and this time Johnny ran to open the door. Standing there in the dim lights of the porch was Sindel, Kitana, and Jade. They said they had to see to some duties in Edenian first but it was obvious they had wanted to arrive not just late, but fashionably late. Sindel was wearing a flowy, dark purple dress with matching heels while her daughter wore a short, tight-fitting leather dress and black boots. Jade looked just as good in a short black miniskirt, a green (of course) tank and matching stilettos.
"Damn…" Jax whistled from where he still stood.
Even Ermac's jaw dropped, though you wouldn't have known it. Kenshi sensed the change in the room and leaned over to whispered to Cyrax. "What the hell's going on?"
Sindel hugged Johnny, a little too enthusiastically, but he certainly didn't mind. "We are so thrilled to be here." She squealed. "This is our first Earthrealm party."
Johnny smiled back. "Glad I was the one to pop your cherry."
"My what?"
But they had left the hall, where Johnny threw their bags in the closet, and were already in the living room. The music drowned out their words.
"It's just a vulgar Earthrealm figure of speech, mom." Kitana explained.
"I still don't get it."
"Nachos!" Jade exclaimed, racing to the food bar.
"How do you know about Earth food?" Kitana asked suspiciously as her friend poured the strange food onto her plate.
"Um, Raiden. He brings me Earth food sometimes."
Sindel squinted at her daughters friend. "Are you having a love affair with a god?"
"What?!" Both Jade and Kitana made faces at their queen.
"Ew. Honestly, mom. What is wrong with you?"
Sindel waved them off to go dance with Kenshi. She winked at the two younger Edenians. "The man is bline, but he is fine."
This made even Ermac grimace at the queen's rhyming. The kingdom never had a dull ball, that was for sure.
"Woo, who's this fine hunk of meat?" Sonya slurred, coming to lean against Ermac. He stood still, already having been hit on before. Jax was beside her though, holding her up.
"Um, Jax." Kitana began warily, eying the blonde woman rubbing against Ermac. "Sonya's not drunk, is she?"
"No, no." Jax replied, handing the almost collapsing woman to her. "She's just about to pass out."
Kitana held Sonya up unsteadily, but the woman was wriggling around, mumbling under her breath.
"Take her to the restroom and run her under some ice-cold water, will ya? And give her some water." Jax called over his shoulder.
Kitana nodded weakly as he made his escape to the dance floor. Jade pushed Sonya's hair from her face. "She's sweating."
Kitana gave up. She coudln't just leave Sonya sprawled out on the floor. Could she? She banished the thought a little guiltily and sighed. "Ermac, can you help me? She weighs a ton, I swear. Where does all her weight come from, anyway?"
Ermac studied the drunk human in the princess's arms and came to a conclusion. "Her boobs."
Oh my, those fighters are too much. What will they do next? *wink, wink* Anyway, this was kind of rushed, but whatever. Reviews? Anyone?
