Smoke, along with Kuai Liang, who had taken on the mantle of Sub-Zero, split to find the murderer of the Elder Sub-Zero. After battling Kitana, Smoke discovered Shang Tsung and Kano in the Living Forest, making a heavy weapons deal. Trying to stop them, the Lin Kuei battled Kano, then took on Shang Tsung and Reptile, defeating them despite Tsung using Bi-Han's form. He is ambushed by Sektor and the Lin Kuei, who he was shocked to have been successfully converted into cyborgs, and was got captured for conversion, but was saved by Raiden and allied with the Earthrealm Warriors, hoping they would be able to save Sub-Zero from the Cyber Initiative.
Tragically, by the time they reached the Coliseum, Sub-Zero was in the process of being captured by the Cyber Lin Kuei, and Smoke had to be held back by Raiden to prevent him being captured as well. Smoke, Raiden, Smoke, and Johnny attempted to sway Kitana to their side, but she fought and defeated him and Cage. Later Smoke and the others stumbled across Jade and mistakenly believed she had attacked Kitana, and after fighting her was informed that "Kitana" was a clone named Mileena. At some point during the second tournament Smoke was eliminated.
During the invasion of Earthrealm, Smoke and Raiden found the Cyberized Sub-Zero after Kabal defeated him. Horrified at what had happened to him, he begged the Earthrealm warriors to help save Kuai Liang. Thankfully Jax and the others were able to restore his humanity, and Smoke greeted him after he awoke. Later on, they were surrounded by the Cyber Lin Kuei, and Smoke found himself battling Sektor. While he put up a good fight, Sektor nearly beat him, but he was saved by Nightwolf, and Smoke managed to defeat other Lin Kuei. However, shortly afterwards, they would be attacked by Sindel, who managed to kill Smoke and the others. Tragically, Smoke would be revived as a revenant by Quan Chi, enslaved to the will of Shinnok.
