Chapter 3: More Bloopers from MK: Conquest

Raydiva just looked at Rayden, scratching the back of her head trying to think up something as the thunder god glared at her.

"Hey guys what's up!" said Johnny Cage as he jogged up to them in his blue and black jogging suit.

With a sigh of relief, Raydiva said, "Hey, JC! Have you seen Kidd or Lil lately?"

"Nope, "he said, "But I did tell them they could watch movies at my place at anytime last time I did. Why?"

Before Raydiva could answer, Rayden grabbed hold of her arm and then they vanished in a flash of light. "Oookay, "said Johnny as he adjusted his sunglasses.

(All you see is a TV screen flickering and then 3….2….1….boop!)

"That stupid…" thump "…son of a…" crash, was the sounds that Althea heard coming from one of the storage rooms. She peeked into the room and saw a very angry Taja moving crates and barrels around. "What did Siro do this time?" asked Althea.

Startled Taja turned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well, I don't see Kung Lao making you this angry in the short amount of time since your return, and as annoying Rayden can be he's never gotten you this angry since I've known you guys, "Althea shrugged and continued, "That leaves Siro as the 'son of a bitch' you're pissed off about"

Taja kicked one of the barrels and then yelped. Althea tried not to laugh as Taja sat down on another barrel cussing colorfully as she rubbed her foot.

"Cut! You're supposed to kick the empty one, "said Raydiva.

(Flickering and a new scene starts)

Quan Chi held the journal in his hand as he entered the chamber that held the coffins. He was pleased that the Red Dragon was able to get such a good focus for his creation and so soon. To top it off, they even admitted that retrieving the needed focus from Rayden would be next to impossible and offered the journal for a fraction of the original asking price in return for their failure. It was hard to find such service these days, such a balance between deceit and good business was extremely rare. The sorcerer would just have to send one of his 'children' to retrieve the needed item.

He placed the journal on the blood red coffin and then poured a potion onto it. The book than sank down into the coffin, which flared brightly for a moment and then started pulsating. Quan Chi started to laugh evilly, but then started choking and coughing.

"Cut!" exclaimed Raydiva.

Quan Chi wheezed some as he tried to regain his voice and then gasped, "I hate having to do the evil laugh."

(Flickering)

"Crap! It's a challenge," whispered Althea as she stood up. "What?"whisper Kung Lao. Althea answered, "When a deity wishes to take over another's domains he can place a formal challenge. It can be done only between deities of similar positions in their respective realms. So only a god of thunder can challenge another god of thunder."

"Great, IM-Mortal Kombat," said Taja.

Rayden summoned his hammer, but Althea quickly stepped between the two immortals with hands flaming light-blue. "YOU DARE INTERFERE!" roared Ragen.

For some reason, everyone on stage found Ragen's exclamation hilarious and started breaking down laughing.

"Cut!" said Raydiva tiredly over the laughter.

(Take 2)

Rayden summoned his hammer, but Althea quickly stepped between the two immortals with hands flaming light-blue. "YOU DARE INTERFERE!" roared Ragen.

Althea sputtered and started laughing. "Sorry!" she gasped out as she laughed.

"CUT!" yelled Raydiva.

Siro sighed as Taja covered her eyes with her hand and the others just shook their heads.

(Take 3)

"Crap! It's a challenge," whispered Althea as she stood up. "What?"whisper Kung Lao. Althea answered, "When a deity wishes to take over another's domains he can place a formal challenge. It can be done only between deities of similar positions in their respective realms. So only a god of thunder can challenge another god of thunder."

"Great, IM-Mortal Kombat," said Taja.

Rayden summoned his hammer and lost his grip, dropping in on his foot. "SHIT!" he yelled as he started jumping around on one foot in pain.

"CUT! That's it, "yelled Raydiva, "Next series we're getting rid of that damn hammer!"

(Flickering)

Her shivering increased and Rayden could almost hear her teeth chattering. He then proceeded to strip both of them down to their undergarments and then carried her towards the heated pool only to get his foot caught in some moss. The splash of water nearly reached Raydiva and the filming crew. Rayden and Althea popped up out of the water sputtering.

Raydiva just sighed and tossed her megaphone away.

(Flickering)

Taja saw Kung Lao and could barely keep yelling out, but her years as a thief had ingrained the habit of silence. Taja then tapped Siro on the shoulder and indicated where Kung Lao was silently. The bodyguard's trademark smile shown through. During this, Kung Lao pulled out a small pouch and handed it to Taja. Taja recognized it immediately as her old lock picks and quickly began to work on the cage's lock. The jiggling of the lock caused the cage to shake and then start to fold over.

"Hey!" yelped Siro as he reached up to hold the cage up. Kung Lao snorted and started to laugh as the cage continued to fold over forcing Siro to end up bending over Taja as she was forced to kneel close to the ground.

"Cut! Props what the hell…"yelled Raydiva as an old man in washed-out overalls and an
old fashion hammer in his back pocket slowly made his way into the tent. He just looked at the folded up metal cage, ignoring the imprisoned coupled and then said in a voice that could only come from a throat that drank too much hard liquor over the years, "Yeeeeeahh…..fergot the bolts….I get to it in a sec." He then slowly walked back out grumbling under his breath.

(Flickering)

With the exception a few who kept watch, everyone at the temple slept. Unseen by the guards, a figure jumped from the temple walls and silently made his way to the women's guest quarters. Once there he carefully made his way to the door to Althea's room. It listened at the door for a few seconds as if to determine if the occupant was asleep and/or alone. Carefully he quietly opened the door. He entered the room and silently closed the door as he pulled out a sword with a barely heard 'sshhinn.'

Althea's eyes opened and she rolled out of the way just as the sword came down. She swiped her leg around in the hopes of tripping the would be assassin, but he just jumped over her leg as it came around and took another swing at the woman. Again she rolled out of the way and this time jumping up into a defensive pose. Drained from attempting to repair the temple's mystical defenses, Althea's only hope was the training she had been receiving from Kung Lao. The attacker threw out his hand as something ropelike came from his palm and then fell to the ground harmlessly.

"Cut!" yelled Raydiva as Scorpion dropped his head in embarrassment. Althea sighed as she went to get back into position for the beginning of the scene.

Raydiva walked over to the ninja and patted him on the back as he pulled back his rope. She said, "Don't worry about it. I heard it happens to the best of 'em."

(Scene Change)

The door to Johnny's apartment opened startling the kids and Kidd stopped the VCR. When they saw that it was Sonya carrying a bag of groceries, they both started laughing in relief. It was the laugher that brought them to Sonya Blade's attention. She placed the bag on the kitchen table and said, "Ok what are you two doing here?"

Kidd responded, "Just watching some movies."

Lil then asked "What are you doing here?"

"Well, "said Sonya nervously, "I sorta live here."

"I thought that this was Mr. Cage's home, "replied Lil.

Kidd then hit Lil on the back of her head and said, "She's his girlfriend."

"Huh?"said Lil but seeing Sonya's light blush it dawned on her, "Ooooooh you and Mr. Cage are living together."

Wisely, Kidd started to collect the tapes and then grabbed Lil's hand, "Well see ya later Miss Blade."

Both vanished in a flash of pink and blue light. "Hey!" yelled Sonya getting over her embarrassment, "Who's gonna clean this mess!" She then sighed and started to clean up the popcorn and dirty glasses.

Just as she got finished washing the last glass Rayden with Raydiva in tow appeared in a flash of light. The moment they appeared Althea started to look a little green and then ran out of the room. Not so nice sounds were eventually heard coming from the general direction of the bathroom. Ignoring them Rayden turned to Sonya and asked, "Have you seen Kidd or Lil?"

"They just left a little while ago with some movies, "answered Sonya drying her hands with a dish towel.

The sound of flushing followed by Raydiva stomping back into the kitchen interrupted any further discussion. Raydiva then grabbed Rayden by his arm to turn him to face her and said through clenched teeth, "You know I hate it when you teleport me without warning!"

"Well here's a warning, "replied Rayden as he took hold of the hand on his arm and once again they both vanished.

"I have to start hanging around normal people again, "sighed Sonya.

The End…..

Next time on Raydiva's Outakes….

"Hiya Mr. Briggs!" yelled Kidd Thunder nearly causing Jaxs to dropped the heavy box he was holding. Which he did right onto his foot when Lil shouted, "How ya been!"
