I can't explain it, because it's fiction. lol. Just because something doesn't exist in our world, doesn't mean it can't in another. It's just some kind of technologically advanced energy that we can't comprehend. That sounds like a cop out, sure, but I don't know how else to say it.

The point is if Sonya and Jax were outworlders, this wouldn't even be a conversation. People would just say, "oh, they're using supernatural powers from Outworld". Right? So the way I see it is that it's practically the same idea. Jax and Sonya are from Earth, but not OUR Earth, you know? A fictional Earth where humans are capable of things that humans from our Earth aren't. Again, cop out, but I'm doubting NetherRealm has any better answer than that. Okay, but then where is this device on her person? Also Sonya wasn't playable in MKII.

There's an explanation somewhere saying that magic can be taught and that most magic comes from Outworld. I'm sure these people were taught their abilities. Jax, on the other hand, just might be a decendant of something else.
