A year later, an Outworld Investigation Agency has been formed. Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade have a kid, Cassie Cage. Sonya Blade uncovers a Red Dragon hideout and discovers Kano being held captive. She unwittingly frees Kano who reveals a new ability to turn into a dragon-human hybrid and attacks her. Kano escapes and uses his cybernetics to hack into the Special Forces databank, turning machine developed against them, nearly killing Jax.

Meanwhile, Raiden intends to invade Outworld before Shao Kahn can rebuild his army, by challenging the realm to another Mortal Kombat tournament. Sonya Blade agrees to participate in the tournament for Earthrealm. Believing the tournament cause a war between Earthrealm and Outworld, Sub-Zero locates Scorpion to convince him to try to stop Raiden.
