Sonya and Jarek are at a standoff on a mountain.)

Sonya: "It's over, Jarek! Shinnok is dead. The good guys won. You're coming back with me."

Jarek (advances on Sonya, who backs off): "Never, Sonya. I agreed to help defeat Shinnok, not turn myself in to the Special Forces. The Black Dragon live on!"

Sonya: "The Black Dragon died with Kano. You're the last one, Jarek."

Jarek (Charges at Sonya): "Never!"

(Sonya side-steps his attack. Jarek falls over the edge of the cliff. Sonya walks closer to the edge of the cliff and uses her walkie-talkie to contact Jax.)

Sonya: "Come in, Major Briggs. This is Lieutenant Sonya Blade--"

(It is revealed that Jarek did not fall off the cliff. He grabs Sonya's leg
and sends her falling to her death as she screams in terror. Jarek climbs back onto the ledge and finds Sonya's walkie-talkie.)

Jax (On the walke-talkie.) "Sonya, this is Major Briggs. Come in. Sonya, this is Jax. Are you there? Sonya?"

(Jarek steps on Sonya's walkie-talkie, laughs, and walks away. But before he can get far, Jax is there and grabs him by the throat.)

Jax: "Going somewhere, Jarek?"

Jarek: "Jax! I thought you were going to--"

Jax (hangs Jarek over the cliff): "Thought I was what? Dead? Like my partner you just tossed of the cliff?"

Jarek: "I'm... I'm sorry, Jax. Please, don't drop me! Wait. I promise--"

Jax: "Too late, Jarek!"

Jarek: "You can't drop me! You have to uphold the law. You have to arrest me. Wait! Wait! This is brutality! You can't do it!"

Jax: "Wrong, Jarek. This is not a brutality...this is a fatality!"

(Jarek screams in terror as Jax throws him to his death.)

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance

Jax had a score to settle with the traitor he knew as Hsu Hao. Now revealed to be a member of the Red Dragon, Hsu Hao had infiltrated the Special Forces Outerworld Investigation Agency and destroyed it with a miniature nuclear weapon. Making good on his promise, Jax eventually caught up with Hsu Hao and ripped the implant from his chest in retribution. Hsu Hao died a most painful death.

Mortal Kombat Unchained

During our assault on the Deadly Alliance, we were overwhelmed by Tarkatan hordes. The last thing I remember seeing was Raiden blasting his way into the main hall. I was later resurrected by Onaga, who controlled my mind and commanded me to enforce his will. My brutality as Onaga's pawn will haunt me forever. If not for Liu Kang, I'd still be under the Dragon King's spell killing the people I've dedicated my life to protect. Now that my soul is unchained, I'm coming for you, Onaga. It's payback time!

The Dragon King had defeated us all, save one. Jax. And Though I had absorbed the fighting abilities of those who had aided me, I lacked the raw anger that propelled Jax into battle. Brutally pounding Onaga into submission, Jax finally ended the conflict by embedding a Kamidogu into the would-be ruler's head. Where he summoned so much rage from, I cannot say. I only hope that his anger is finally purged.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon

When Jax absorbed the power of Blaze, the cybernetics in his arms grew and permeated his entire body. He was transformed into a full cyborg. He became aware of a controlling neural chip that had been implanted in his brain by Sektor. Enraged, Jax defeated Sektor and claimed leadership of the cyborg ninja clan, the Tekunin. It is unknown if he will ever return to the Special Forces.
