Dragon Jets

The Dragon Jets are highly advanced air vehicles the Kombatants from Defenders of the Realm use. In addition to their mystical looking, super powered vehicles, they use thousands of year-old tunnels and passageways beneath the earth that kind of bend space, allowing for exceptionally quick, efficient, and secretive travel on this planet. They travel to other realms of existence through numerous portals, always hard to find and different. To speed through the tunnels, the heroes use their extraordinary Dragon Jets, special hi-tech land-air-sea crafts, which on the outside resemble mythical dragon-like creatures. Inside, the cockpit is remarkably hi-tech, nothing like it has been seen before; the control panel is glass and seemingly suspended in air. Each Dragon Jet is slightly different, personalized to the team members operating it. And each Dragon Jet has certain mysterious 'survival qualities.' When severely damaged, or threatened, the Dragon Jets will mysteriously act on their own, righting themselves if flipped, extinguishing fires if aflame. They also change shape often to conform to different environments. They will be designed to look much like real dragons, and they fire flame-like blasts from their 'mouths.' The Dragon Jets have protracting wings for flying, but their main function is to speed through Earth's subterranean tunnels and underground river systems.
There was a total of 4 distinct Dragon Jets (3 for regular use and 1 as a backup), each with an individual animal insignia on the starboard side of the craft.

It was stated they were created by Nightwolf, along with his advanced base, as the Kombatants were chasing after rips in the Earth's dimensional fabric, while at the same time Kahn was regaining strength over the last trimester. Each hero took a partner riding shotgun, and Aiko and Kung Lao were the first to experience them; with the cardiokinetic haven't seen them since she was young. It was also questioned as to why the gang never used just the portals, as the damage of the world's weakening fabric would be hazardous for travelers, thus using them as protection, rather than just transportation.
They used them once Kung Lao got rid of Komodai and the Saurian stragglers in order to return to base, still intact before Kahn's invasion. One was used again by Sonya and Jax (latter as the pilot) when it caught Liu Kang and Kitana as they jumped off the collapsing Bell Tower. They couldn't use it to go to Kahn's Fortress as it'd be detected and shot down.
Ever since Nightwolf made his new home in the Wu Shi Academy, it's been his and Liu Kang's main method of transport. Heck, the Special Forces got wind of those advanced Jets and used its ingenuity to win wars both domestic and foreign empowering their own aircraft!

One Jet was used by Nightwolf while Kung Lao and Aiko rode shotgun as they chased down the fallen Fujin's enemies. It shot out some laser shots onto the Onis and its maneuverability was excellent evading them!
