Note: I mentioned that they are in NYC, since the city, which appears in many stages throughout the games, is probably New York. That's because in MK3, in the ending shows the city view and the Chrysler Building. In MK9, there's a cut scene of Raiden's vision from the city, and shows the Statue of Liberty
It was a struggle for Sonya, not because of her job or her health, but it was for her spirit. It has been 8 months since Raiden stopped Shao Kahn from dominating this world, or stopped him from trying to dominate. It didn't matter, since the main problem wasn't that the city was damaged by the attacks, but, after that whole event, she was basically alone. The enemies have killed everyone, everyone but her and Cage. They were the only ones, besides Raiden, that survived. Sonya didn't quite understand, how could one middle aged woman kill almost everyone? How could it be that the bad guys are still alive? And how will she ever capture Kano? She had tons of questions that needed an answer, but for now, she had to stick with the reality, after all, losses in war are inevitable.
Sonya wanted to end her life as soon as possible, although she wouldn't, she couldn't simply live realizing that she could be killed by the same way her allies were. However, she managed to rescue Jax and Kitana after the fight against Sindel. It was a miracle that they have survived, but they still remain hospitalized. The doctors said that it would take a long time for them to recover, and don't know when they would wake up. Liu Kang's body was taken by Raiden, since that he promised to resurrect those who felt in battle, but this would take time since he had to convince the elder gods to resurrect them.
The city has recovered from the attacks, damaged buildings were reconstructed, injured people have been aided, and everything was back to normal like if the attacks never happened. It was a normal day for Sonya; she was doing the paperwork, at her office at the OIA. She was trying to adapt with the office environment without Jax's presence, whose office was right next to hers. Later that day, she kept looking through the news at her computer, and saw that the attacks were a hot topic on the news, suddenly, she hears someone knocking at her office's door, and "come in" she said in her calm voice, "Lt. Sonya" said a the man coming into her office, it was Jax's substitute, Ryan. "You've received a letter" he continued, "From who?" she asked, "we don't know" he replied "however, it's not poisoned or anything, so it's complete harmless". He gave her the letter, she thanked him, and he left the room. She looked on the envelop and saw a dragon emblem on it, she recognized it, and instantly opened it. "Could Raiden have written this?" she thought for herself, she took the letter and unfolded it.
Sonya, unfortunately our world is in danger again, meet me at 5:30, at the hospital were Kitana remains, I shall explain what you'll have to do
That was it, nothing else was written. Sonya looked at the clock and saw it was already 5:00 pm. She left the office and the department, and went to the hospital. Sonya entered the room where Kitana and Jax where, both of them were still unconscious. Sonya felt the urge to knee and weep; she simply couldn't see her best and trustable friend in such a state, including Kitana, although they weren't close.
Sonya waited for a while and nothing happened, "were they joking with me?" she thought, she got distracted until she noticed something moving, for a moment, she believed it was either Jax or Kitana waking up, however it was someone entering the room, it was Cage. "Hey Sonya" he said cheerfully, "Oh. Hi" she replied looking odd to him, "you don't look very happy with my presence" he said questioning if Sonya, whether or not was expecting him.
"Was it you that send me a letter?" she asked, "You mean this?" he replied and took a letter from his pocket and showed her, it was the same thing written, except that it was directed to him, "I also received a letter" he complemented "So I guess we have been sent here by the same person". "Who could it be?" asked Sonya "If it wasn't you, who else was?", "I have no idea "he replied "It couldn't be Raiden, he's too busy trying to convince the elder gods to resurrect the others".
"This is weird" commented Sonya, "Yeah!" he contested "I don't who had the idea to tell me to come to New York, when I, back in LA, was in the middle of a meeting for planning new future film of mine, so he better have an excuse for that" Sonya rolled her eye.
She and Cage looked to each other, and looked back to Jax "How is he doing?" he asked, "Well…" replied Sonya "Better than before..." she said "The doctors said that he and Kitana are recovering really fast, however it can take a long time for them to wake up". "I guess it's just a matter of time then" replied Cage looking to them, "Yeah" replied Sonya.
Suddenly, there was a Strong wind blowing the trees. The wind strongly opened the room's window. Sonya covered her face as the wind began blowing inside the room, "what's going on?" she shouted, "I don't know!" Cage shouted back while holding tight to one bed. Suddenly the wind stopped blowing and simply disappeared. Sonya uncovered her face and saw two people in the room standing next to the window; it was Liu Kang and a guy who looked like Raiden. "Liu Kang!" said Cage and Sonya happily to see him, "You're alive!" said Sonya and hold his hand, "Master Raiden resurrected me, and it's good to see you guys" he replied.
Sonya and Cage looked to the man who was next to Liu Kang, he simply nodded to them, "You're not Raiden, right?" asked Cage, "I am Fujin, the wind god" he replied "Raiden sent me here to guide you all, in order to save our world again from another threat", "So it was you who sent us letters" said Sonya, "Indeed" he replied "Our time is short and we have to hurry, it's believed that one fallen elder god, Shinnok, is planning to dominate Earthrealm and Outworld, and is using Quan chi as his assistant, it's believed that he has sent some of his warriors to Outworld and others are here in Earthrealm, meanwhile his location is in the Netherrealm", "So we have to stop them in order to save our realm?" asked Sonya, " Yes, so each one of you, shall stay on a realm and stop them, if we stop them first, we'll leave Quan Chi defenseless" , "Your plan sounds crazy" said Cage "But I liked it",
"Wait!" interrupted Sonya "We have no chance against them!", "why do you say that?" asked Liu Kang, "Don't you see? There are only four of us!" she replied "They are too many, I mean; think about it, How on earth are we going to stop them? Not to forget the dangers that we may face on the other realms", "you may be little now" replied Fujin "but there are also people in the other realms that fight for justice with the same purpose as you, it is a matter of luck to find them", Sonya nodded and the team left the room.
They went to the hospital's rooftop. As they arrived there Fujin stepped forwards to their front, and with his magic, he summoned three portals.
"Here, each one of you shall go into this portal" said Fujin "Liu Kang, you take the portal to the left, it will take you to the Netherrealm, It's believed that Quan chi shall deactivate an obelisk that will free Shinnok from the Netherrealm", "But how can I enter it? The realm can only be accessed by evil corrupt souls" he asked, "That's why I'm giving you a talisman" said Fujin "As long as you keep this talisman, you'll be okay, otherwise, you'll be sent back to here", Fujin gave him the Talisman. Liu Kang entered the portal, and the portal vanished.
Fujin told Sonya to enter to the portal on the right; it would bring her to Outworld. "Sonya, your mission is to stop anyone associated with Quan chi, it's believed that one of his allies is planning a mass attack against Outworld's population, with the intention to dominate the realm", "Got that!" said Sonya and entered the portal.
And last there was Cage, "I guess I have to take the middle one" he said "where will it bring me to?", "To China, at the Wu Shi Academy" said Fujin "There's a possibility that the Black dragon is also organizing an attack to this realm starting there", Johnny nodded and headed to the portal, but before he entered he turned back, "Fujin, one last question" he said "how do you all this stuff?", "I am a god, I can see everything happening or anything to come by meditation, and when the realms are threatened, the elder gods tell us" he answered, Johnny nodded again and entered the portal.
The portals vanished and Fujin looked around to the city view, "this will be a hard battle" he thought and magically disappeared.
What will happen to them? Will they succeed? Will Jax and Kitana ever wake up? To be continued…
