At Cole and Tina's house, Hayabusa, Momiji, Kasumi, Ayane and the stranger met up with Tina, as she explained what happened last night.

Kasumi: A nightmare?

Tina: Not exactly. I had this feeling that something terrible happened. Cole never came home, last night...

Hayabusa: And you think something happened to him?

Tina: I know something happened too him. You have to help me find him.

Ayane: Master Ryu?

Hayabusa: Cole is an ally and a friend. He has helped us save our realm. If he is in trouble, we need to find him.

Tina: I don't know where to look.

Hayabusa: Yesterday, at the temple, Mizuki came to me about Cole's whereabouts.

Tina: What? What did she say? Where is she?

Hayabusa: He traveled to the Netherrealm, to speak with Liu Kang.

Tina: The Netherrealm?!

Momiji: He could have been trapped...

Hayabusa: Right. We will need to be smart about this,if we want to rescue him and prevent any others from getting hurt.

Tina: I'm going with you. My husband is there and I need to know he'll be alright.

Hayabusa: Very well. Ayane, inform Hayate and the others of our quest and that we will be back shortly.

Ayane: Yes, master Ryu.

Kasumi: And what about us?

???: We're going to the Netherrealm for a rescue.

Kasumi: But won't the revenants be there?

???: We can deal with them, while the others search for Cole.

Hayabusa: Then it's settled. Let us make haste to DOATEC.

As they walked out, Tina stopped the stranger, along with Momiji.

Momiji: Is something wrong?

Tina: It's Cole...we've been together, ever since Zeke had brought him back, from the dead and since that battle with Outworld. I can't lose him...or my son.

Momiji: You have a son? Where is he?

???: She's referring to me.

Momiji: You're...you're Cole and Tina's child?

???: Yes. I was planning on telling you but with everything that's happened, I never had the chance too.

Tina: Momiji...I'm begging you, please look out for him...and bring back my husband.

Momiji: Of course, I will do what I can. Oh, which reminds me, you never told me your name, since we met.

???: ...it's Ethan. Ethan Armstrong.

At DOATEC, Hayabusa and Tina explained the situation with Helena, Stryker and Zeke.

Zeke: Damn, my buddy Cole is in trouble?

Tina: He never came home, last night. So I can only guess so.

Hayabusa: We will send a search team to the Netherrealm, led me and return MacGrath.

Stryker: Then let me help out.

Helena: Are you sure about this, Stryker?

Stryker: Cole saved me, from my death, back in Earthrealm 1. I owe him that much.
