The Invitation from a Star?

I was staring outside the window, looking at the clouds that were over our house. I could see that it looked like it wanted to rain. Just the perfect time of the year to rain. I always hated the summer season; too hot and I can't focus at all, especially during sparing sessions with my dad. It always irritates me but that's all going to change now. Such peaceful weather had never felt so good.

"Yesss..." I began to close my eyes and started to lean my head against the glass of the window.

Thump. Thump.

I quickly opened my eyes and shifted my face towards my door. Someone was knocking on it. Why would someone knock on my door right now? So much for relaxing…

"Kori, we have a visitor that came all the way from Hollywood, California." I recognized that voice. It was my father, Sub-Zero.

"Huh? A visitor around . . ." I glanced at my clock that was hung on top of the door. "10:45 in the morning…?"

"Yes, it's late for those Hollywood star freaks and early for us. They're always on a busy schedule, but our guest isn't on a hectic schedule apparently." He said. "Be on your best behavior though. I want to introduce this man to you anyways. I met him in the second Mortal Kombat tournament."

"Mortal Kombat tournament, huh? Now you got me interested." I got up from my comfy chair and went towards my closet. Unlike my father or my uncle's Lin Kuei's tunics, I didn't have one because I am not a fully trained Lin Kuei warrior. I found some black pants along with a blue shirt with our Lin Kuei logo on it and changed into them. Even if I had my own tunic, I would be really uncomfortable wearing it along with the armor and such.

I opened my door and headed towards the living room.

Once I was there, I saw my dad with the man. The man was dressed in a tuxedo, looking really fancy and with, what looked like five-hundred dollar sunglasses. But he doesn't look like a fighter at all. What makes this guy so "special" that he got into the tournament anyways? Honestly, he looks more like a douche canoe than a warrior…

"Kori, this is the man that I'd like you to meet." My father had said. I looked at the man in the eyes. His sunglasses blocked my eyes from making real eye contact with the man

He put his hand out towards me. "The name's Cage. Johnny Cage." He smiled, trying to look all cool.

I paused for like three seconds and shook his hand. "I'm Kori…"

"You heard of me, Kori kid?" He took off the shades and made eye contact with me finally. "I stared as the main character in my latest movie: "00Cage". The ladies LOVE me! You want my autograph?"

"Uhh n-" I got interrupted

"Here, I'll sign your shirt." He grabbed a pen from his pocket.

"Cage!" My dad shouted. This made Mr. Cage flinch and dropped his pen. "You know how I hate you signing stuff on MY property! That includes my son! He's not a little kid anymore. He's almost a grown man. He doesn't need someone who he just met signing an autograph on him!"

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Sheesh, Cool down there and take a chill pill, Subby buddy. You know I was just kidding with him." Mr. Cage backed away a little bit and picked up his pen while chuckling a little bit.

My dad gave him a dirty look for a moment. "Whatever." He didn't like people giving him nicknames. "So why are you even here anyways?"

Johnny stood there in silence, cleared his throat and then spoke. "I wanted to know if you two were interested in being in a film, with me of course as the main character, Master J. Cage. I'll surely get a raise on my paycheck after this movie is finished and MORE GIRLS! I CAN'T WAIT!" It looked like he was fantasizing everything in his head. I think he got a little too carried away and started to droll…

My dad kicked him in the crouch to snap him back to reality. I could tell he was getting annoyed.

The only thing I could hear from Mr. Cage was his mourning from such a cheap shot. I laughed at him

"Oww…" Mr. Cage had some difficulty getting back up but eventually he recovered. "What the hell was that for?"

My dad pointed to the spot to where the movie star drooled. "You do realize you're going to pick that up, right?"

Mr. Cage put his head down in shame. "Yes, Subby Buddy… Anyways, what do you to think about being in a movie?"

"Umm, who are we supposed to play as?" I got curious.

"That, my friend, is a good question." He gave me a thumbs up. "Well let me see here." Mr. Cage pulled out a mini notepad that he had in his pocket that looked filled from beginning to end on every page!

"I have 'Grunty guys 1 through 4, Umm Security guards . . . Soldiers. . .' "

"Are you making this up as you go along..." I gave him an uninterested look now.

"O-of course not, kid!" He said that as if he was caught cheating with someone. Is this guy even taking his job like a professional?

"Uh huh, riiiigggghhhttt" I looked at his notepad to see what was really on it. "...Seriously?"

"W-what? I was THAT close to winning!" He put his game of Tic-Tac-Toe away. "I forgot my list of characters back home in Hollywood while signing autographs to my fans!" Mr. Cage frowned in failure of his own plan.

I did a face palm. "...Dumbass." I murmured to myself. I looked at him with a disappointed expression on my face. "Next time, be more prepared before getting me excited..." I began to hang my head lower to my chest and walked back to my room.

I closed the door behind me and sat on my bed. "Do people lie to get an audience?" I looked out my window and saw a drip of water that had fell from the roof. "I think I know how to get Mr. Cage back..."

Heeeeeyyyy. This is my first story of an unofficial Mortal Kombat Spin off Series, similar to Hetalia. Yes, I know, If you've seen Hetalia, it doesn't sound anything close to it as of now. Anyways, I'm working on that. As for the story, you can see Kori met THE Johnny Cage, the movie star show off. Cage offers Sub-Zero and Kori, but mostly kori, a shot at being in a movie but this moment was short lived as Cage forgot the character scripts. It left Kori in disappointment. But Kori has a plan to get back at Cage for making him disappointed. What could his plan be? Well, we'll have to find out in the next chapter! Feedback is recommended.

Ps: I'm still developing Kori's character so he may change from time to time

Pss: When I'm making these stories, I'm making them on my own time, so don't expect me to rush and make the next chapter (especially since I just started school on the 1st of this month .)

Psss: I made a Spin-off of a 007 and Halo reference if you haven't noticed

Disclaimers: I do not own Mortal Kombat. It is owned by midway. Sub-Zero and Johnny Cage are owned by Miday. 007 is owned by Eon Productions (Correct me if I'm wrong) & Halo is owned by Bungie. Kori belongs to me
