Sonya Blade

Sonya Blade is a video game character from the Mortal Kombat fighting games series.

Storyline

Sonya and her team were in hot pursuit of Kano, the leader 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 guard. To keep her team safe she agreed to compete in the tournament. Shang Tsung however had no intention of fulfilling his end of the bargain, and merely enjoyed watching her fight. He had her unit killed, and after he was defeated by Liu Kang, he took her and Kano prisoner to Outworld to appease the emperor, Shao Kahn.

Sonya was able to send a signal to her superior Jax from Outworld, however, and during the events of Mortal Kombat II he travelled to this ghastly world to find her. Jax made contact with the other Earthrealm warriors, and together they learned of Kahn's scheme to invade Earth. She was freed and Kano was arrested, but as soon as they had passed through the portal to Earth, Kano ran back into Outworld.

Sonya and Jax had other things on their minds, now, however. They tried to warn the United States government of the impending invasion, but they would not believe them. As such, they began preparing by themselves for the coming invasion. 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. She later learned from Liu Kang that Johnny Cage was slain by Sheeva. Enraged, Sonya fought and defeated the Shokan but in her fury, she unfortunately allowed Sheeva to escape. Later on, 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 lock 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 Outworld and Shao Kahn's near destruction of Earth, Sonya became a member of Earth's own Outer World Investigation Agency. The Black Dragon kept crossing her path, however. Its last known member, Jarek, had ran into Edenia while Sonya was chasing him. This lead Sonya and Jax to team up with Raiden and Liu Kang to free that realm from the Fallen Elder God Shinnok's grasp, and to prevent him from coming to Earth. After Shinnok's defeat, in which Jarek had reluctantly participated to save himself, Jarek tried to kill Sonya but was killed himself in the attempt.

Years later, Sonya would once again heed Raiden's call, this time to travel to Outworld after the Deadly Alliance had slain Shao Kahn and Liu Kang. For Sonya, this coincided with her search for two missing OWIA agents, Cyrax and Kenshi. She was unable to find them, however, and was killed in a fight with the Deadly Alliance and its minions. The Deadly Alliance's victory was short-lived, as Onaga had been resurrected moments after its victory over Raiden himself, and reclaimed Outworld for himself. With his ability to raise the dead at will, he resurrected and enslaved Sonya and her fallen comrades.
