Chapter 2 - Mr. A List
Johnny Cage is exploring an ancient temple with his friend Adam (in an obvious homage to Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark). Avoiding most of the traps, Cage and Adam are assailed by multiple monsters called Kalima and the undead guardian of the temple, Katara Vala, and Adam falls into liquid mercury and is killed. After Cage defeats the final guardian, it is revealed that this was a movie set, and Johnny is hoping that this film will be able to get his failing career back on track, although the director (a nod to director Steven Spielberg) seems doubtful and unwilling to make further films with Johnny, as he only did this one as a favor to the struggling actor.
Johnny's wife Cristina tries to tell him the reality of his failed career, and the fact that they are financially struggling due to Johnny's extravagant purchases, such as their lavish Malibu home and various rare artifacts such as the ancient katana Sento, which Johnny purchased for $3,000,000. Johnny refuses to listen, and merely drinks, while explaining to his wife that in order to be successful, they must first project it or else "Johnny Cage" is done. Cris retorts that she married John Carlton, not "Johnny Cage", and said she would do anything to have him back before leaving — seemingly for good.
As soon as Cris leaves, Johnny's home is invaded by Kenshi Takahashi, a descendant of the long-dead Taira clan, who has come to take Sento back. When Johnny refuses to let him have it, the two fight and Cage comes up victorious. Tying up and interrogating Kenshi, Johnny learns that the Taira Clan went into hiding centuries ago after they were supposedly slaughtered, shedding their old name for "Takahashi" and joking the Bakuto, the Yakuza's predecessors, for its protection. Johnny, however, does not believe Kenshi's story and is simply buying time for the police, whom he believes has arrived when the doorbell rings. Outside, however, he finds Liu Kang, Sub-Zero and Scorpion and believes that this is a prank set up by his wife.
Lord Liu Kang asks Sub-Zero to free Kenshi, and Johnny (still believing it all to be a prank) grabs Bi-Han's arm to "demand" he stop. An enraged Bi-Han slams Cage into his expensive Hichuli artifact, which breaks and angers Johnny enough that he begins to fight seriously, no longer caring if it is a prank or not. Cage is victorious again, but Liu Kang proves his identity as the God of Fire by encasing his body in flames hot enough to activate Johnny's fire alarm. Now believing Liu Kang's words, Johnny questions why he has been chosen by a god, and Lord Liu answers that he believes he will rise to the challenge and change the arc of his life.
