Caption: It's been about three months since Jade was resurrected

Panel 1: Scorpion and Jade walk through a village, passing by several markets before arriving at a store with a sigh that reads ' Tailor '. They step inside, where a short old lady with glasses and a tall old man smile at them

Scorpion: Greetings Mr. and Mrs. Wong. This is Jade, the woman that I requested you to make the outfit for

Mr. Wong: Glad to see you again Mr. Hasashi. And Jade, it is an honor to meet you

Mrs. Wong:  Oh Jade you're going to love the outfit I prepared for you!

Jade: It's truly wonderful to meet the both of you.  I can't wait to see the outfit

Panel 2: Mrs. Wong heads to the back, and comes out with a feminine mannequin. The outfit on the mannequin is wearing Jade's Mortal Kombat X mobile outfit, along with a pair of black  thigh length high heeled boots with gold outlines and green kneepads (her MK9 boots). Jade smiles brightly and goes to get a closer look

Jade: Oh my... this is incredible!

Mrs. Wong: We always make sure every outfit we make is top of the line. Oh, I can't wait anymore, please try it on! The changing room is right back there

Panel 3: Jade takes the clothes and heads to the changing room.   A few minutes later, she steps out. She looks at herself in the mirror, turning around. Her long black hair is tied back into a long ponytail that falls down to her back. She pulls down her mask and smiles. 

Jade: I love it. Is there any way I can repay you?

Mr. Wong: No need. We just love seeing our customers happy. 

Mrs. Wong: Oh darling you look fantastic in it!

Scorpion: Indeed she does

Mr. Wong: It was wonderful to see you again Mr. Hasashi, and it was nice to meet you Jade

Mrs. Wong: And of course if you ever need any more outfits please let me know

Jade: It truly was an honor to meet you both

Scorpion: I appreciate everything you have done for me so far

Panel 4: They bow to each other, and Scorpion and Jade teleport to the Shirai Ryu Fire Gardens. They begin to walk through it

Jade: What is this place? It's so beautiful! And the garden, it has the color of fire!

Scorpion: The Shirai Ryu Fire Gardens.  When I rebuilt my clan, I placed this garden as means to honor its fallen members. The original gardens were destroyed during the first massacre, when Sektor and Quan Chi set fire to the lands.  It also serves as an example of my goal to never lose my clan again

Jade: It reminds me of something you would see in Edenia. I... also lost my people too. My realm, my fellow Edenians... all gone. But, I have gained a new realm, and new people I care about. I refuse to let anything happen to them

Scorpion: Losing our people is a pain we have both gone through, and we share the same goal of protecting our realm and all of the friends we have made. Although Sub-Zero and I share a past full of anger, and we disagree often when it comes to dealing with our enemies,- I am more aggressive and believe in attacking first, he is more diplomatic in his approach,-he is still my friend

Jade: I'm glad you two were able to resolve your issues. We only differ in one way: you lost a family as well. Your wife and child. It's a pain I cannot understand, but the least I can do is try to provide some form of comfort
