In the Fire Garden, Raiden stands on the porch of one of the houses, addressing Hanzo, Sub-Zero, Frost, Franklin, Valeria, Cassie, Y/N, past Y/N, Jacqui and Jax, as well as Liu Kang and Kung Lao, who have returned from Outworld. 

Raiden: The news from Outworld is indeed hopeful. But the location of Kronika's Keep remains a mystery. It is beyond the realms and has proven to be beyond my sight. 

Hanzo: Do you know of Kharon, Raiden? 

Sub-Zero: Kharon, of course. 

Franklin: Who is Kharon? 

Hanzo: Master of the ancient ship of the dead. Sub-Zero and I met him during our time as revenants. 

Sub-Zero: He travels in the space beyond realms, transporting damned souls to the Netherrealm. 

Scorpion: If the Keep lies there, Kharon may know its location. 

Raiden: Would he help us? 

Hanzo: It is possible, but I cannot be sure. 

Raiden: I urge you both to investigate. 

Hanzo raises his fists to his chest and Sub-Zero clasps his hands together, both of them saluting Raiden. 

Hanzo: We will leave immediately.

Franklin looks at Frost.

Franklin: Stay safe.

Frost nods and they kiss as the three leave. Raiden sees Y/N deep in thought.

Raiden: What's wrong Y/N?

Y/N: Nothing just still wondering where Reptile, Ermac, Ferra & Torr are.

In Outworld, Ermac, Reptile, Ferra & Torr are still playing poker as Reptile and Ermac growl in anger.

Ferra: Didn't Mileena nearly get executed? Shouldn't we have helped them?

Reptile: Hm, nah.

They then hear past Rain along with Tanya in a cell.

Rain: Hey, Saurian, when do you think, they are going to release us?

Reptile: It's impossible for Tanya, but you might be released in about a year.

Ferra slams down her cards.

Ferra: ROYAL FLUSH!

Ermac: UGH!!!

Reptile: AHHH! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! 

Back in the Fire Garden, Y/N shrugs his shoulders.

Cassie: Locking down Outworld's army is huge. But still, I'd feel better if we had more manpower. 

Raiden: The Shaolin will join us. Liu Kang and Kung Lao travel now to aid the monks' preparations. 

Liu Kang raises a straightened palm to his chest, while Kung Lao clasps his hands together in salutes of their own. 

Cassie: Good. I'll be leaving soon to go after Johnny and Sonya. 

Jax: I'll go too. 

Jacqui: We're both going. 

Cassie: No. Raiden needs you for an intel op.

Jax: We need to get Sonya back.

Raiden: Undoubtedly. But Kronika's behaviour makes it clear that while mighty, she is not all-powerful. Otherwise why would she attempt to steal Jinsei? 

Jacqui: Think maybe she's still building strength? 

Raiden: A distinct probability. 

Jax: Then what's her next move?
