Jade was defenseless as the woman possessed her body she returned to Earthrealm with the mysterious woman.
Mortal Kombat X[]
Jade is the only slain hero from the previous game who does not appear as a revenant in the service of Quan Chi. This is because Jade is already under someone else's control. She does appear in Kitana's arcade ending as a ghostly figure reaching out to her Revenant friend trying to help regain her nature.
Mortal Kombat 11[]
While Revenant Jade is a supporting antagonist, a Time-displaced Jade from before her death is brought into the present by Kronika There she reunited with her partner Kotal, who had become Kahn by this time, and was delighted to see him again. Afterwards, she told Kitana and Raiden that Shao Kahn had been traced to the Lost Hive of the Kytinn. She urged Kitana to convince Sheeva and the Shokan to join them against Shao's forces.
While riding to the Lost Hive, Jade and Kotal caught up, with her asking if he had ever taken another lover as Kahn, which he denied as he valued her most of all as She's The Only Good Thing That has Ever Happened to Him. After being ambushed, Jade found herself facing her revenant counterpart, and was disgusted by what she had become, managing to defeat her and D'vorah. Infiltrating the Tarkatan War Camp, Jade discovers Kotal Kahn's hardened heart when he wants to execute all the Tarkatans without exception, forcing Jade to confront her love from another time. After knocking out Kotal, she is captured by Shao Kahn and tortured by Skarlet before being rescued by Kitana, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao.
She is then part of Kitana's forces invading the Outworld arena to prevent Kotal from being executed. Although Shao Kahn is defeated, the evil emperor had time to smash Kotal's spinal column but Jade assures An Crippled Kotal that he is not helpless while She's Still Willing to Stay By His Side. She later participates in the takeover of Fort Kronika but the Titan reverses time at the height of the battle, wiping out Jade. In her semi-canon ending, Jade defeated Kronika, but was torn between Kitana and Kotal, until she followed Kotal's advice to follow her heart. She found herself creating a New Era for Edenia where it was never invaded by Outworld. While Jade and Kitana enjoyed a happy childhood, she would discover that she had Kronika's power, and as an adult would ascend to godhood and defeat Shinnok and Cetrion, allowing the Realms to know peace.

Jade confronts the Shokans as best she can before being confronted by Sindel and then helplessly witnessing Kotal's death at the hands of Shao Kahn before Sindel slams her through the hull.

She is loyal to her best friend and was loyal to Shao Kahn however she is not blindly loyal she stopped falling Shao Kahn when Jade realized he was wrong. Jade talks to Baraka about his loyalty blinding him unlike Baraka Jade notices and doesn't let her loyalty blind her to what is right and wrong.
