(The scene then cuts to several octagon dice with unknown symbols rolling on
the floor. Several guards of an unidentified Outworld species are playing a
game in the Dead Pool area. Sonya is tied up nearby and being guarded by
Sheeva)
Sonya: What is it with you Shokan and underground cesspools?
Sheeva: If you had not dishonored yourself by attempting escape, we would
not be here in this sewer.
Sonya: Well this isn't my first time in chains.
(Jax, Raiden and Cage show up at the other end of the pool)
Johnny: Sonya!
(Everyone turns around and notices them)
Sheeva: Guards! Stop them!
Jax: So much for the surprise attack...
(The door behind them slams shut. Jax charges forward, ducks some swipes from
a guard with a two edged mace, grabs the weapon and clobbers him with it.
The guard falls into the pool and is dissolved into nothing but blood within
seconds. Jax throws down the mace and leaps over the remaining guards. Cage
and Raiden charge from behind and engage them while Jax faces down Sheeva)
Sheeva: She is the emperor's property, human.
Jax: She's nobody's property.
(They fight. Like all Shokan, Sheeva is powerful and possesses magical
abilities, but Jax is not about to let that stop him. Through sheer brute
force he manages to overpower Sheeva and leave her unconscious)
Jax: I guess extra arms don't make a difference.
(He walks over to Sonya)
Sonya: You sure have a way with women.
Jax: You know me. I'm a class act.
(He picks her off the hook she's on and cuts her restraints with a knife)
Sonya: Thanks. What took you so long?
(Cage and Raiden walk up to them)
Johnny: He was busy hitting me in the face.
(Jax and Sonya exchange smiles at this. Something then perks up on her wrist
communicator)
Sonya: That's weird. I've got two sets of readings, heavy tech signals.
Raiden: Technology... Then they cannot be of Outworld. We should confront
the source of each signal.
Johnny: Wait. What about us? What are we? Chopped liver?
(Raiden stares at Cage for a moment)
Johnny: What?
Raiden: Perhaps you are right, Johnny Cage. You will stay close to me.
Johnny: Great, I--
Raiden: Close as a shadow, and twice as silent.
Jax: Sonya, you're with me. Keepin' my eye on you. Raiden, looks like you'll
wanna teleport yourself about thirty clicks that way.
