Johnny awakened, to find himself alone. He got up, and looked for Sonya. Not finding her, he sat back on the bed. He looked at the nightstand, and found a note. Reading it, he leaped to his feet.
"RAIDEN!" Raiden appears.
"You rang?"
"Is it true?" Raiden nods.
"She couldn't face the possibility of your death, so she chose her own instead." Johnny lowered his head.
"Can I beat him?"
"Not now. He has your heart. That's all you're lacking." He stands up, walking out. He drove to the base, to find Jax in a panic.
"Where did she go? Where are the coordinates?"
"She erased them, sir."
"Erased them? Jesus Christ."
"I know where she is." Jax turns, to see Johnny.
Jax and Johnny sit in the Colonel's office, waiting. He walks in a few minutes later.
"I've just been briefed on the situation. Mr. Cage, you know where she is?"
"Yes, sir. She returned to Netherealm, sir."
"Why would she do that?"
"The being that held her there, Shang Tsung, challenged Johnny to fight him. You know Sonya and her heart."
"I see. What can we do about it?"
"Sir, I'd like to request a search and rescue team."
"Major, you know I can't do that. The budget won't allow it."
"I know, sir, but . . ."
"No buts. However, I do have a few weekend liberties in here somewhere. You and I have some hunting to do." Jax smiles.
"Hunting. Yes, sir." The Colonel gets up, opening the door, finding a crowd standing outside.
"The Major and I have a hunting expedition this weekend. Would anyone like to join us?"
"HUP!"
"Well, then, Jones, get to the armory, I want everything we've got. Martinez, get to supply. Sanchez, pull up everything you can on Neatherealm."
"YES, SIR!"
"Why are you still standing here? DISMISSED, LET'S GO!"
Sonya, dressed back in her slave garments, and already tortured, is brought before Shang Tsung. He smiles evilly, walking a slow circle around her.
"I warned you, Miet, it would be far worse than you could imagine this time." Sonya closed her eyes tightly, trying not to tremble.
"You can do nothing to me you haven't done already." He lands a knee in her solar plexus, sending her to her knees, coughing.
"You are quite wrong, Miet."
"I AM SONYA BLADE!" He kicks her in the back, sending her tumbling into the throne. The doors suddenly fly open, as the guards in the room turn around. Three bullets take them out, as Johnny sprints to Sonya. He puts his arm around her, kneeling next to her.
"Are you OK?" She nods, hugging him.
"I am now." He kisses her head.
"How sweet. I'm touched, really."
"No," Shang turns, to see Jax, who lands an uppercut, sending him flying backwards, "Now, you're touched."
"Back off, Jax, this is my fight." Johnny strips off the gear.
"So, you want to fight me?"
"No, I wanna kill you."
"You shall have your chance." Johnny and Shang Tsung begin circling each other. Johnny lunges forward with a kick. Shang Tsung blocks, landing a blow to his ribs. Johnny stumbles backwards, as Shang moves in again. Johnny lets him go for another punch, blocks it, and kicks him in the solar plexus. He steps back, as Johnny tries another, and grabs his leg, "What will you do now?"
"This." Johnny falls backwards, landing a kick to the groin, knocking Shang to his knees, "Looks like you and your boy have the same weakness." He lands a hard knee to Shang's face, breaking his nose.
"I will kill you for that." Shang Tsung struggles to his feet, as Johnny lands an uppercut, sending him back down. He tries to get up, and falls down again.
"You loose, you shape shifting sonuvabitch." Johnny said, walking off. He walks to Sonya, and hugs her.
"Johnny!" Johnny turns around, seeing Shang Tsung powering up. Shang Tsung suddenly falls over, holding his chest. Behind him Jamie stands, a smoking nine millimeter in her hands.
"That's for mom, fuck you and die." She unloads the clip on him. Sonya walks behind her, hugging her from behind.
"Let it go, angel." Jamie drops the gun, hugging her. Johnny and Jax join them, as they walk through the portal.
