Storyline
Sonya and her team were in hot pursuit of Kano, a member of the Black Dragon organization. After he jumped onto a ship they followed him to a remote island where Shang Tsung's Mortal Kombat tournament was being held. Upon arriving they were ambushed by Tsung's personal army. To keep her team safe she agreed to compete in the tournament.
After the Shaolin warrior, Liu Kang, defeated the might Goro he went on to take out Tsung. Unfortunately, Goro recovered from unconsiousness and attacked Sonya, Johnny Cage and Kano. They surprisingly started to win against the four-armed brute, but after Liu Kang defeated Shang Tsung the island began to collapse. This also made the bridge the four were fighting on collapse as well causing them to fall. As Sonya was falling she sent a distress signal to her partner Jax. She eventually fell into a portal to Outworld. After arriving in Outword she sent another distress signal and finally got into contact with Jax. She explained everything that had happened during the tournament, that she was stuck in Outworld with Kano, and to find either Johnny Cage or Liu Kang.
Soon enough, Sonya was rescued by Jax, but unfortunately Kano escaped yet again. Jax told Sonya that the emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn, was planning to invade Earthrealm and conquer it as his own.
When they got back Earthrealm the two tried to warn the U.S. Government of Kahn's imminent invation; however, no one listens and they are forced to individually prepare for war. When the fateful day finally came, Shao Kahn stripped Earthrealm of all human souls. However, Sonya and a handful of other Earth warriors were protected. During the chaos, Sonya encountered her old nemesis Kano on top of a skyscraper near Kahn's fortress. A fierce battle broke out between the two. Kano was winning the fight and kicked Sonya onto a gargoyle and pulled out a locke of Sonya's hair. Sonya feigned injury, but when Kano advanced to finish Sonya off she threw him off the rooftop, allegedly finishing him for good.
After her journey into the Outworld and Shao Kahn's near destruction of Earth, Sonya became a member of Earth's own Outworld Investigation Agency. Her first mission leads her to join Liu Kang on his quest to aid the troubled thunder God, Rayden.
After the evil god Shinnok was defeated, Sonya confronted the member of the Black Dragon that she had been persuing, Jarek, on top of a cliff. She told Jarek he was the last one and the rest of the Black Dragon was dead. Jarek refused to believe this and ran toward Sonya to attack her, but she sidestepped and Jarek fell off the cliff. With Sonya's task finally complete of eliminating the Black Dragon menace she radioed in Jax of her completed mission and she returned to base.
