Johnny and Sonya looked at each other. "Reiko?" They said together.

"Yeah, that was his name."

"Look, there's an injured agent downstairs. I want you to bring him up here and stay here until I say, ok? I'll contact you through radio."

The men nodded. Jax, Sonya, Johnny and Kenshi left the building and headed back onto the streets.

"I don't think we're going to find Reiko here. By the looks of it he got whatever he was looking for by the looks of it." Kenshi said.

"You're probably right." Jax said.

"So what do we do now?" Johnny asked.

"I don't know. Now I wonder if Lui Kang and Kung Lao are ok." Sonya said.

"But they were fine when we left them." Jax said.

"Yes but for all we know someone could've attacked them after we left." Sonya said.

"Good point." Jax said.

"I say we head towards the portal." Kenshi said.

"Why?" Johnny asked.

"I don't know…I just have a feeling we should head there…I can faintly sense something."

"Alright, then that's were we'll go." Jax said.

The others agreed with Jax and Kenshi. Kenshi was usually right about these sorts of feelings.

Meanwhile, Jade and Kung Lao had arrived at the city and was walking near the portal, searching for any signs of life.

"I doubt we'll be able to find many people." Jade said.

"Yeah…So can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"How is it you managed to get away from Kahn?"

Jade looked down. She wasn't proud of her past with him. "I didn't always want to work for him you know. Like Kitana, I had no choice. It was either join Kahn or be destroyed. So as soon as Kitana and I had learned about our true home, we began a plan to turn against the emperor, and attempt to free our home, and yours."

Kung Lao nodded. "Go on."

"So that's when we eventually met Raiden. It seemed that he too was on a mission to stop Kahn. As you probably know, Kitana and I weren't the only ones who had survived Kahn's wrath. There were two other warriors."

"Two other surviving warriors?"

"Yes, Tanya and Rain. Tanya is the daughter of the ambassador of Edenia and Rain is the son of a general that commanded King Jerrod's army."

"Is King Jerrod Kitana's real father?"

"Yes. Kahn adopted her when he took our home from us."

"I see. So why did he take her and her mother this time?" Kung Lao asked.

"That I don't know. I'm sure it involves them somehow." Jade replied.

"It's because of Liu Kang your home is free." Kung Lao said.

"Yes and we are forever grateful to him, but now I must help keep our home safe."

"And I'll help you."

Jade smiled. "Thank you."

"The thing is Liu isn't here to help us this time." Kung Lao said.

"We'll fight in his honour." Jade said.

"Yeah I'm sure if we fight with the others we'll be able to take Kahn down."

"So what about you? Are your parents from Edenia as well?" Kung Lao asked.

"Yes they were. I was very young when they died, and have few memories of them. Friends of my parents took me in and raised me as one of their own. They had no children of their own so I was an only child. What about you?"

"My parents lived in the temple of the order of light all their lives, so that's where I grew up too. Lui and I eventually met and became close friends over time."

They walked in silence for awhile, each deep in their own thoughts. Both weren't paying attention as they walked closer and closer the others.

"Hey is that Jade and Kung Lao?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah it is. Hey Kung Lao! Jade!" Sonya yelled.

"Huh?" Kung Lao looked up to see his friends who were a yard away.

"Look, Jade! It's the others!"

Jade looked up and saw the group. "Hey!" She said. "Come on Kung Lao, let's go!"

Jade and Kung Lao ran to meet the others.

"I'm so glad you guys are safe." Sonya said.

"Yeah we were worried about you guys too." Jade said.

"So did you guys see what happened?" Kenshi asked.

"Well Shang Tsung and Quan Chi came to Edenia and took Sindel and Kitana." Jade said.

"I'm sorry." Sonya said.

"We'll get them back, don't worry." Johnny said.

"So did they come to here as well?" Jax asked.

"Yeah they came to the Wu Shi academy." Kung Lao said.

"So then Reiko wreaked havoc everywhere else?" Jax asked.

"Reiko used the extermination squad." Jade said.

"Hmm…I've heard of them before. They hunt down everything in site and spare no one." Kenshi said.

Jade nodded. "Yes that's right."

"By the way, where's Liu Kang?" Johnny asked.

Kung Lao looked away. He didn't want to face the fact that he was gone but it was of no use. He couldn't escape it. They memory of his death played over again in his mind.
