- Jade's Mortal Kombat (2011) Battle Cry

Biography

 * Mortal Kombat (2011): "An assassin for Shao Kahn, Jade has earned a reputation as an agile and stealthy warrior. Her family was Edenian nobility and served the emperor once he conquered their realm, giving Jade to him as tribute when she was a child. After years of rigorous training in the art of kombat, Shao Kahn awarded her the position of Bodyguard to Princess Kitana. Over the centuries she and Kitana have become close friends, which makes Jade's secret orders from Shao Kahn painful to accept: Should Kitana's loyalty falter, Jade must kill her friend."

Storyline
Jade initially appears at the side of Shang Tsung along with her best friend Kitana, watching from the sidelines as the tournament in Earthrealm takes place. When Sonya successfully frees Jax from captivity in Goro's Lair, Jade and Kitana are ordered by Shang Tsung to prevent Sonya and Jax from leaving. They both face Sonya in a two-on-one battle but ultimately are defeated. she is spotted on occasion throughout the tournament conversing with her peers before the battles take place, and is last seen after Shang Tsung's defeat as she returns through a portal to Outworld.

[Jade later appears in the Armory and finds Raiden, Jax, and a recently beaten Johnny Cage. Demanding that the intruders leave the restricted area, she faces Jax in kombat but fails to defeat him, and the three continue on their quest to find Sonya. Shao Kahn later reprimands Kitana during the second tournament after her failure to intercept the Lin Kuei warriors, and orders Kitana to leave the coliseum. Jade follows Kitana into the Wastelands, noting Shao Khan's displeasure and pleading with the princess to behave more accordingly. Resulting in an argument between the two women, Jade leaves Kitana just before the Earth warriors appear. While Kitana leaves to go to Shang Tsung's Flesh Pits, Kitana calls out to Jade, who she knows is following her through the Living Forest. Jade explains that she was told by the Emperor to prevent Kitana from ever entering the Flesh Pits, and begs Kitana to turn back on her quest. Kitana refuses and the two battle, with Kitana proving victorious.

After Kitana brings Shang Tsung to Shao Kahn and informs Shao Kahn of the experiments happening in the Flesh Pits, Jade can be seen watching as Kitana is taken prisoner, having overheard the truth of what Shao Kahn has done to Kitana and Edenia. Determined to amend things, Jade sets out to free Kitana from captivity in the Tower. Entering the Armory, she encounters Baraka, who refuses her entry to the Princess. Comparing him to a guard dog, she mocks him before defeating him. As the Tarkatan insults the Edenian race for their "lack of loyalty", Jade teases Baraka with a cryptic hint before stomping on his face. Upon finding Kitana restrained by magic and protected by Sheeva, Jade continues to mock the Shokan both before and after she defeats her.

The two women share a brief moment of comfort before they become aware of the guards following Jade. Before she is able to free Kitana, Kitana pleads to her that she must inform Raiden of everything and flee before she is also captured. Jade agrees, and flees back to the Wastelands, where she is tracked down by Mileena. Claiming there is to be a celebration for her "Sister", Mileena attempts to defeat Jade but is unsuccessful, which prompts Jade to remark that she is much more of a sister to Kitana than Mileena could ever be. With Mileena defeated, the Earth warriors approach. Smoke sees Mileena, and believes that Jade has just defeated Kitana, unaware of the Flesh Pits experiments. Before she has the chance to explain herself, Smoke attacks her, which results in Jade reluctantly defeating him. Jade informs the rest of the Earth warriors of Kitana's capture and her location, which encourages Liu Kang and Kung Lao to go to save her.

Jade is later seen alongside the Earth warriors in their discussions during the invasion of Earthrealm. When the Lin Kuei cyborgs ambush the Earth warriors in the Temple, she assists in defeating them. However, when an amplified Sindel arrives, Jade is one of the warriors who is killed by the empowered Queen as Sindel rips her organs out of her body. Jade is last shown in the Netherrealm, resurrected with her soul in the possession of Quan Chi.

Ending

She slipped into a dream-like state and found herself walking in an unknown realm. As she explored, her surroundings shifted and changed. Jade approached a lone figure who stood in the distance--a shimmering woman. She did not reveal her name, but spoke with an air of regal authority. Through the minds of countless mortals, the woman had been watching events as they unfolded over the centuries. She informed Jade that Shao Kahn's death was an outcome that must be re-imagined. Jade was defenseless as the woman possessed her body and emerged in the waking world."
