* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Johnny Cage gave Shinnok a run for his money.
** First, he knows that he needs allies, which is why he recruits Nightwolf, due to his close relationship with Raiden. Johnny secures Nightwolf's help when he allows the shaman to look into his memories.
** Johnny warns Kuai Liang and Smoke of Raiden selling the former out to the Lin Kuei, and tells them to get out of Outworld when the time came. By doing this, Sub-Zero avoids becoming a cyber-ninja.
** Johnny and Sonya both warn Raiden and the others of Sindel's impending housecall in which she slays most of the fighters. When Sindel does arrive, Raiden merely shocks her into submission before Kitana decapitates her.
** Instead of having one child, Johnny and Sonya have twin girls. Both Cassie Cage and Alexandra Cage (Alex Blade) take down Shinnok.



** The dialogue in which Johnny said that he was "part of something special" was taken from ''Film/IndependenceDay''.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11256349/1/Once-More-From-The-Top Once More From The Top]] is a fanfic written by Snafu the Great.

Following Shinnok's defeat in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade are slain by D'Vorah, who blasts the both of them with Shinnok's amulet.

However, instead of being KilledOffForReal, the Elder Gods decide [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture to send them back]] [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 25 years into the past]], on the eve of the Mortal Kombat tournament.

With knowledge of what is to come, Johnny and Sonya now work to not only save their friends, but to save their troubled relationship...if they don't kill each other first.

* TheAtoner: Sonya, after she realizes that her ex-husband was right in when he said that he [[FamilyVersusCareer chose her job over her family]].
* AmicableExes: Subverted. Sonya holds plenty of animosity towards Johnny at first.
* AwwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Prior to Sindel's arrival, Johnny and Sonya decide to patch things up between them, and to give their marriage another shot.
* BerserkButton: Johnny presses Sonya's when he tells her that between him and Sonya, Cassie favors him. This leads [[SlapSlapKiss the both of them fighting]].
* BigDamnKiss: Sonya gives one to Johnny upon revealing the Lin Kuei's tech in regards to opening portals.
* ChekhovsGun: The photos of Johnny, Sonya and Cassie and of Team S-F, which Sonya uses twice; the first to convince Johnny that she was sent back alongside him, and the second time to gain the trust of Jax, Smoke and Sub-Zero.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Johnny Cage gave Shinnok a run for his money.
** First, he knows that he needs allies, which is why he recruits Nightwolf, due to his close relationship with Raiden. Johnny secures Nightwolf's help when he allows the shaman to look into his memories.
** Johnny warns Kuai Liang and Smoke of Raiden selling the former out to the Lin Kuei, and tells them to get out of Outworld when the time came. By doing this, Sub-Zero avoids becoming a cyber-ninja.
** Johnny and Sonya both warn Raiden and the others of Sindel's impending housecall in which she slays most of the fighters. When Sindel does arrive, Raiden merely shocks her into submission before Kitana decapitates her.
* Instead of having one child, Johnny and Sonya have twin girls. Both Cassie Cage and Alexandra Cage (Alex Blade) take down Shinnok.
* HeroicBSOD: Sonya goes through it after she realizes that Johnny was right about everything. It takes Jax, Sub-Zero and Smoke to snap her out of it.
* HeroicSacrifice: In the first chapter, Sonya shoves Cassie out the way just as both her and Johnny are vaporized by Shinnok's amulet.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Sonya's explanation in regards to choosing her career over her family. Johnny's not buying it.
* ForWantOfANail: Johnny and Sonya are flung 25 years into the past after being killed by D'Vorah.
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Kung Lao still dies, but from fighting Motaro, rather than having his neck snapped by Shao Kahn.
** Sindel still dies, but not from Nightwolf's HeroicSacrifice. She is instead [[ShockAndAwe fried by Raiden's lightning]], before Kitana decapitates her.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Mother]] In a flashback, Cassie no longer sees Sonya as her mother, due to her being MarriedToTheJob.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sonya, coming to the realization that she had royally fucked up her relationships with both Johnny and Cassie.
* NeverMyFault: Sonya denies that it was her being MarriedToTheJob that ruined their marriage the first time around.
** ItsAllMyFault: Sonya ''finally'' takes responsibility that she had wrecked her marriage to Johnny and her relationship with Cassie in the hours before Shao Kahn's invasion.
* RageBreakingPoint: 25 years' worth of pent-up rage boils over for Sonya when Johnny says that Cassie prefers him over Sonya, which leads to the two of them coming to blows.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Sonya attempts to worm her way back into Cassie's life by offering her a commission and the chance to train under her. Cassie tells her mother to shove it. When Sonya makes Cassie's life a living hell through training, Cassie plans to let her enlistment expire so she can sign on elsewhere.
* ShoutOut: Several
** The fight between Sonya and Johnny was inspired by [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra the fight between Lin and Suyin Beifong.]]
** The dialogue in which Johnny said that he was "part of something special" was taken from ''Film/IndependenceDay''.
