(Shao Khan is in chains in a cell)

(A couple of shokan guards are beating on him)

Guard: Doesn't know when to quit. Let's finish him

(Sindel walks in with her eyes glowing, and she uses her scream magic to kill the guards)

Shao Khan: Wife. It's you

Sindel: Hush, husband. I'm here

(Sindel breaks Shao Khan's chains)

Sindel: The soul chamber will heal your wounds. Then we'll discipline Kitana and take back our throne

Sheeva: Empress? Tell me I misheard. Tell me you would not betray your daughter

Echo 3: I told you so!

Sindel: She takes after her father. Jerrod was a weak king. Kitana is a weaker khan

Echo 3: (Whispers) Cover me

(Young Echo runs to inform Kitana)

Sheeva: Weak?! She defeated Shao Khan!

Sindel: Yet she lacked the resolve to kill him!
Now she will learn, enemies must be crushed, lest they rise again

Sheeva: Once Echo knew he was alive, he went rogue and killed him by himself. We had to use the soul chamber to resurrect him and increase security after

Sindel: Echo is the only one of you I would even consider keeping alive. He has a real killer instinct

Sheeva: There is a better way to lead

(Sindel fights Sheeva. Sheeva is strong, but Sindel's raw power was too much for a physical fighter. She kills Sheeva with the unbridled force of her scream magic)

Sindel: Elder gods tremble before me, Sheeva. What hope did you have?

(Some shokan soldiers run in)

Sindel: Kitana murdered your shokan brethren. Sheeva challenged her and suffered this punishment. Swear your allegiance and I shall see her avenged!

(The shokens bow)

(Soon, after Shao Khan is healed in the soul chamber)

(Shao Khan puts on his helmet)

(Sindel hugs Shao Khan)

Shao Khan: Wife, I have missed you. If only Quan Chi were here. I'd hoist him by the ankles and split him through for all the time he stolen from us

Sindel: Soon we will have the hourglass. When we meet up with our true daughter, Mileena, we will strike. Eternity will be our empire

Shao Khan: We'll have all the time we need

(Geras comes through a portal)

Geras: Shao Khan, Sindel. Come with me. Kronika has need of you

Shao Khan: Kronika?! Where was she when Kitana stole my throne?! We'll make her choke on her empty promises

(Geras makes his golden fist)

Sindel: Allow me the privilege, husband

Shao Khan: It will be mine, to watch you punish him

(Shao Khan walks away while Sindel squares up with Geras)

Sindel: Your maker sends you to die, Geras

Geras: As she has done billions of times before. Each time, the perfection of her design grows closer

(Sindel fights Geras. With Sindel's magic and agility, her fight with Geras is an afterthought)
