Something's not Right/Seeing Sub-Zero

[The UN Space Station. Jax teleports out of the techno-portal but finds Sonya isn't with him. He opens up communications on his forearm.]

JAX: Sonya. Sonya, do you copy?

SONYA: We've apparently been sent to different locations on the station. I think the portal still needs some work.

JAX: We'll need to regroup. Stay where you are. I'll try to--

[Something off-screen catches Jax's attention.]

JAX: Hold on. Someone's coming. [Jax takes cover behind some boxes and observes a space station guard escorting Captain Marvel.]

GUARD: We've set up a temporary holding facility as requested, Wonder Woman. It should hold Captain Marvel until he's recovered.

WONDER WOMAN: My thanks. If this Earth merge continues everyone's powers may be affected. I'll be joining you shortly with our newest guest.

[Jax pumps himself up and runs out from his cover.]

GUARD: Affirmative. Are there any special security measures that--

[The guard turns round just in time to see Jax clock him in the face with a gigantic haymaker. The heavily-armoured guard is hurled across the room from the impact and instantly knocked unconscious. Jax throws a left-cross at Marvel, but it only causes him to flinch. The rage soon shows in Captain's eyes and he grows menacingly.]

JAX: Well now, this just got a whole lot more interesting.

[They fight. Through the sheer strength of his technology and weapons, Jax overwhelms Captain Marvel and beats him unconscious. He then radios in to Sonya.]

JAX: Sonya. Area's secure. What's your situation?

SONYA: I'm fine. We need to locate the main command centre to cripple this station's capabilities.

JAX: Right. Stay where you are. I'll follow your signal and come to you.

WONDER WOMAN: You're not going anywhere.

[Jax turns around at the voice and instinctively fires his uzi. Wonder Woman deflects all the bullets he shoots with her bracelets. The handcuffed Sub-Zero approaches behind her.]

JAX: Sub-Zero?!

WONDER WOMAN: I take it you two know each other.

SUB-ZERO: He is Jax - a formidable warrior, as you will soon discover.

[The ninja steps aside, noticing Wonder Woman's a bit pissed off at being shot at. The rage appearing in her eyes adds to that.]

WONDER WOMAN: Well "warrior", I don't know what your universe is doing to mine, or what you're doing to this station, but true warriors don't use guns!

[Jax throws aside the uzi.]

WONDER WOMAN: And if it's a fight you want, you'll soon be joining your friend in a cell!

[They fight. Even without his gun, Jax is more than a match for Wonder Woman. He eventually knocks her unconscious next to Captain Marvel and radios in.]

JAX: Sonya, you'll never guess who I bumped into - Sub-Zero.

SONYA: What's he doing up here?

SUB-ZERO: Obviously I am a captive. It would appear that we are now allies.

JAX: Appearences can be deceiving.

SUB-ZERO: True, but you would be a fool to refuse my help.

JAX: What do you think, Sonya? Should we trust him?

SONYA: Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

JAX: Alright then, Sub-Zero...

[Jax shatters Sub-Zero's handcuffs with one downward smash.]

JAX: ...Tell us what you know.

SUB-ZERO: Only that these warriors are unlike anything I've encountered. I don't know yet who commands them.

JAX: Any ideas?

SUB-ZERO: The most logical assumption would be that Shao Kahn has returned to finish what he started - with this new army. Now I need to find someone - a sorcerer who may have answers.

JAX: Sorcerer? I don't like the sound of that.

SUB-ZERO: Like it or not, we need him. when there is threat of invasion, he usually knows something about it.
