In the centre of the cage - filled with broken bottles, used bed mattresses and other assorted junk - Sonya sits up and tries to get her bearings. A voice chimes in over the loudspeakers:
"Rise and shine, Sony" Kanos voice rings out in the speakers. Sonya gets back to her feet. She looks down at her arms and finds that she's no longer wearing her wrist gauntlets "Wha...?" she questions "Yeah, you won't be needing that stuff, love" past Kano said. She looks up to the top of the cage, which is covered by patches of razor wire. Both past and present Kano look down at her from a makeshift stage.
"One thing we Black Dragon know, there's no fun in a fair fight" past Kano smirked
A heavy door opens off screen and a newcomer makes their way through the crowd, who all step away from them. The newcomer is Kabal - the unburnt young Kabal from another timeline. He looks up to the stage that both Kano's are on.
"So Sonya's the skank who burns me?" Kabal asks "Oh, she more than burns you, Kabal. She goes black-ops on your arse. Shocks, knives, the bloody works. Patched you back together meself. Well, most of you" Kano lies. Kabal's eyes narrow in anger and he clenches his fists in rage "She's dead" he says glaring. The crowd around him start cheering encouragement. Past Kano looks over to his older self "Miss Law and Order really does that to him?" he asks "Nah. But now he's motivated" present Kano replies.
Both Kanos smirk in an identical fashion. Below them, two Black Dragon goons open the cage door. Upon spotting the open door, Sonya immediately turns and makes a run for it, but she is bowled over as Kabal charges her with his super speed. Evidently, whichever timeline this Kabal is from, he had the speed even before being burned by Kintaro and healed by Shang Tsung's magic. Sonya picks herself up as Kabal slides to a halt in front of her.
"Hope you're ready for some pre-emptive vengeance" he says "What the hell are you talking about, Kabal?" Sonya questions "You, torturing me to get dirt on the Black Dragon" he growls.
They fight. Augmented with Black Dragon technology and weapons, this version of Kabal is no less deadly then his revenant counterpart, and Sonya is at a further disadvantage without her wrist gauntlets. But she still has years of Special Forces
training and fighting experience, and Sonya calls on everything she's learned to take the fight back to Kabal. After a brutal exchange, she finally leaves the Black Dragon lackey down and out "Don't believe every rumour you hear" she says. She looks out toward the crowd around her "I'm done entertaining you clowns!" she calls out as the crowd boos her
She turns toward both the Kano's overlooking her "Get in here, you cowards!" she calls them out. Across the bar, two more goons drag in a semi-conscious person "Tempting, love. But we think our next contender is a beaut" past Kano says smirking. Sonya looks over to the cage door and to the person the goons are dragging in. She recognises him immediately "Shit" she says.
The door is opened and the goons chuck the past Johnny Cage into the arena, to the cheers of the crowd around them. Sonya immediately runs past Johnny and through the open door, but she is quickly grabbed by the goons and shoved back into the cage. They slam the door on her again, and despite her best efforts she is unable to force it open. She then turns back to the badly beaten Johnny and helps him to his feet.
"I won't fight him!" Sonya yells. The crowd starts booing. Bottles of beer are thrown at the cage and shatter into pieces "You'll damn sure fight, or you'll both die!" past Kano says through the speakers "Cut the shit! You'll kill us whether we fight or not!" Sonya shouts back glaring "Ah, you caught me, love. But put on a good show, eh? It'll be less painful" past Kano replies. Now standing on his own, Johnny tries to assume a fighting stance. It becomes quite clear that he's doing all he can to even remain upright "C'mon. You've been dyin' to hit me all day. Here's you chance" Johnny groans struggling a bit to stay standing.
