Back at the refugee camp, Sonya walks through with her phone to her ear, followed by S-F soldiers.

SONYA: Thanks for the heads up, Sergeant. Stay with Kotal Kahn. We'll figure out next steps once I've got Kano locked down.

CASSIE: (Over the phone) Yes ma'am. Cage out.

Sonya stops and looks out to the Outworld refugees.

SONYA: He's still here. I can feel it.

As she continues through the camp, she comes across two medics carrying a bodybag.

SONYA: Report.

MEDIC: One of the refugees. Found her near the north perimeter.

Sonya unzips the bag, revealing a young Outworld woman with a slashed throat.

SONYA: That's one of Kano's "neckties".

She steels herself and zips the bodybag back up.

SONYA: (To the medics) Inform Li Mei. Tell her we're investigating.

The medics walk off. Sonya pulls out a talisman that projects an image of Raiden.

SONYA: Raiden, what'd you find?

RAIDEN: Shinnok's Amulet has been stolen. Replaced by an exquisite duplicate.

SONYA: Damn it.

RAIDEN: Something is wrong. I will speak to you once I--

The projection fizzles out.

SONYA: Raiden? Raiden!

Sonya puts the talisman in her pocket and addresses her soldiers.

SONYA: Lieutenant, I need you to take a team to Fort Charles. Check in with Raiden and report back.

The soldiers march off. Johnny Cage strolls up to Sonya.

JOHNNY: What's goin' on?

SONYA: What's your update from Colonel Flagg?

JOHNNY: He said, "Why're you bothering me?" and I said, "Because my ex-wife is a pain in the--"

Sonya holds up a hand to stop Johnny and walks away. Johnny follows.

JOHNNY: Where you goin'? You can't just walk away. I'm in this too.

SONYA: Not my decision. Thank your buddy, Secretary Blake.

JOHNNY: THIS is what split us up in the first place. You disappear in your work. Never time for me and Cassie.

SONYA: I had responsibilities. Sorry you couldn't be the centre of attention.

Johnny bites back his retort.

JOHNNY: There was a time when you cared more about your family than your job... General.

He walks off. Sonya continues in the direction she was going.

The scene cuts to a castle in the Netherrealm, twenty years prior. Sonya and Johnny, with S-F soldiers, have reached the bottom of a large staircase.

JOHNNY: Nope, no evil sorcerers in here.

SONYA: Would you get serious?

JOHNNY: Quan Chi needs to clean up his man-cave.

SONYA: S'cleaner than yours.

JOHNNY: You're comparing me to Quan Chi?

SONYA: Only in terms of cleanliness.

They continue further onto the bottom floor, approaching a gigantic pool of dark fluid surrounded by jars containing embryos and alchemical supplies. The area is lit by dark candles.

JOHNNY: What's this?

He kneels down as if to touch it.

SONYA: I wouldn't do that.

JOHNNY: Ah, come on, where's your sense of--

As he touches it, the pool turns blood red and begins to swirl.

JOHNNY: ...adventure.

The fluid rises, and a portal opens. Quan Chi, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Jax exit.

QUAN CHI: You wish for adventure? You shall have it.

The soldiers run up and aim their weapons.

SONYA: Fire!

They, Sonya, and Johnny open fire. Quan Chi conjures a wall of green skulls that blocks the bullets. Sub-Zero freezes the soldiers solid.

QUAN CHI: I have no need of your soldiers. But you and Mister Cage will serve me well - once you are dead.

All four charge into battle. Sub-Zero and Jax go for Johnny, leaving Sonya with Scorpion and Quan Chi. She blocks their attacks, kicks Scorpion away, then kicks Quan Chi and knocks him down with an axe-kick.

Johnny kicks Jax away, punches Sub-Zero, and downs him with a roundhouse kick. He backflips from Jax's attacks as Sonya rushes Scorpion. After a fierce brawl, she leaves him unconscious.

SONYA: Not as tough as you look.

Sonya begins fighting Sub-Zero. She blocks several strikes but gets elbowed in the face. She ducks under a roundhouse kick and fights back with a superman punch, which Sub-Zero blocks.

Johnny fights Jax. He takes a kick but strikes Jax in the face with a superman punch, followed by a clothesline that slams Jax to the ground by his neck. Johnny pounds Jax in the face, knocking him out, and laughs before rushing to Sonya's aid.

She manages to punch Sub-Zero twice in the face and knocks him
