Jade returned as a playable character in "" (2004) following an extended absence from the series. She witnesses the deaths of Kitana and the thunder god Raiden's chosen fighters at the hands of the Deadly Alliance of sorcerers Shang Tsung and Quan Chi and their subsequent resurrection by the Dragon King Onaga. Jade is forced to imprison a brainwashed Kitana in the Edenian palace dungeon before freeing Sindel and escaping with her to Outworld, all while seeking revenge against traitorous fellow Edenian Tanya, who had allied herself with Onaga. In Sindel's non-canonical ending, she and Jade locate Onaga's tomb when he sends Kitana after them. Jade battles her friend before Sindel kills Onaga, breaking Kitana from his spell and returning peace to Edenia. Jade's own non-canonical game ending makes no mention of Kitana or Sindel, which instead depicts her confronting Tanya, the mutant Baraka, and a group of Tarkatan warriors. In the game's Konquest mode, Jade orders the warrior Shujinko to apprehend another Edenian traitor, Rain, and bring him to her.
