In the refugee camp. Quan Chi is now in handcuffs and chains, being escorted by Kenshi and Johnny Cage. They dragged him into an open shipping container.

Kenshi: Sit.

Quan Chi is forced down on a chair. Two soldiers cuff his legs together in chains as well.

Johnny: I'm guessing it's not your first time in cuffs. What's your safeword?

Quan Chi gives Johnny a death glare in response. Smiling to himself, Johnny exits the container, followed by Kenshi and the soldiers. The doors are slammed shut. The moment they are, a slight smirk comes to his face. Over this scene, we hear Sonya speaking.

Sonya: Advise Secretary Blake that Quan Chi is in custody. We'll be moving him to the super-max facility at Fort Charles within the hour.

Johnny and Kenshi walk up to Sonya, who is relaying the orders to one of her soldiers.

Solider: Yes ma'am.

As they approach, Sonya turns to face them.

Sonya: You two stand guard. Prisoner transfer will be here in twenty.

Johnny: Oh, NOW she trusts me to babysit.

Sonya doesn't respond to the bait. She instead puts her communicator to her ear.

Sonya: Cage, report. Cassie's voice is heard on the other line.

Cassie: We haven't caught up to D'Vorah. We had her tracked to the Makeba Cliffs, but then her trail went cold.

Soyna: Damn.

Behind some shipping containers, unseen to the soldiers or refugees, several ninjas creep in and hide behind some crates.

Cassie: Jacqui thinks D'Vorah's unique physiology may allow us to pinpoint her location. She's retooling her smart-comm to track D'Vorah's pheromones.

The lead ninja holds one hand in the air as he crouches down. His subordinates stop and take cover by him.

Sonya: How long?

Hanzo: On my command only. Wound. Do not kill.

Cassie: She has to write the code. We're looking at... two hours?

Sonya: Sergeant, your team doesn't have two hours. We need her found immediately!

Y/N: Sonya, for God sakes we're trying you know!

Sonya sighs and takes a moment to calm down before she resumes talking.

Sonya: Cassie, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but there isn't time. Bring your team back here with the two refugees', we need to re-group and re-deploy.

Cassie: Yes ma'am.

Sonya hangs up.

Johnny: They're doing their best.

Sonya: I know.

Kenshi looks into the middle distance and - despite his blindness - notices someone approaching.

Kenshi: General. We have a visitor.

Sonya and Johnny turn to see Hanzo Hasashi approaching them in full ninja garb.

Sonya: You two are friends, right? He tell you he was coming?

Kenshi: Nothing.

Sonya walks up to Hanzo, who bows before her.

Hanzo: General.

Sonya: Master Hasashi. I hadn't received word you were coming.

Behind Sonya, several of her soldiers walk closer to the two of them, guns idle in their hands.
