A few minutes ago, on a bridge overbearing a deep pit, Sonya Blade is trying to use her radio to talk to the Special Forces Command. 

Command: Triangulating your signal for evac, but... 

The radio becomes briefly distorted. 

Coomand: ...there is no island. 

Sonya: I'm standing on it! Just lock onto my wrist comm! 

Johnny walks onto the bridge and smiles. 

Command: Understood. What is your current status? 

Sonya: They have Jax. And if I don't fight in this crazy tournament, they'll kill him. I'm gonna try to-

Johnny: Need help? I specialise in rescuing damsels in distress. 

Sonya: You again. Listen, I've got serious problems here. I'm in no mood to be hit on by some movie star. 

Johnny: C'mon. A girl like you shouldn't be wandering around this freak show alone. 

Sonya sighs and tries to walk off. Johnny grabs her by the arm. 

Johnny: Look, baby, I can't let you run loose without an escort.

Sonya punches him in the stomach, then across the face, knocking him down. She assumes a fighting stance. 

Sonya: I don't need an escort, and I'm sure as hell not your baby! 

They fight. Although reluctant to do so, Johnny Cage shows that he's not afraid of fighting a woman if he has to. After a brief fighr, Cage manages to get the upper hand and he knocks Sonya to the ground. 

johnny: Ha haaa! Not bad for a... girl... 

Johnny seems to regret getting caught up in the moment and extends his hand to her. 

Johnny: Look, sorry about that. 

Sonya slaps his hand away. 

Sonya: I don't need your help. 

Johny: Fine. Have it your way. I'll just leave you to your... problems. 

Cage fails to notice the burly Australian sneaking up behind him. 

Kano: Good idea! 

Kano grabs Cage from behind and throws him off the bridge. 

Kano: Now that he's softened you up, it's my turn! 

Sonya: Not man enough for a fair fight? 

Kano: I don't do "fair".  

Kano blasts her with his eye beam. 

Kano: No need to get up, love.

Below, Johnny has grabbed one of the protruding spikes to save himself from impalement. Sonya's screams echo above him as he looks down at the victims that fell before him. 

Kano: So tell me... how are things at Command? 

Sonya: Bastard! 

Sonya continues to scream as Kano blasts her again and again. Cage attempts to climb up the rock surface, but cannot get a good grip without slipping. 

Kano: Guillible bitch. Just had to point you in the wrong direction. Couldn'ta done it without ya! 

Sonya: S.F. is on the way. You won't get far. 

Kano: Oh, I got a knack for survival. You, on the other hand, are gonna die here. 

Cage suddenly somersaults back onto the bridge.
