This prequel was needed. Basically a backstory to Jade's mother Syndel, her father Kenshi, and how she met Bobbi. Also if you didn't already know. We base a lot of characters from Mortal Kombat.
D' Vorah wasn't please with Raiden's daughter as Kahnum of Outworld and apparently she wasn't the only one. Two others, Ko'Tal and Reptile, were rather vocal in their displeasure. "This One is displeased with Syndel as Kahnum but does not think your coup will succeed" "That is why we kill Jerrod first," Ko'Tal said.
D' Vorah went to say something but then her front door slammed open and Syndel's royal guard ran in with Jerrod and Syndel themsleves walking in. "Well what do we have here? Council members whispering like hand maidens" "This One is displeased," D'Vorah said. "War looms, if you only sided with HYDRA" "And I told you I would rather die than treat with my father's murderers!"
"Then perhaps," Ko'Tal said. "That is what is to happen." Jerrod stepped in front of his wife. "Not going to happen." "Kill him!" Syndel barked at her guards. The guards approached Ko'Tal. D' Vorah blocked a punch by Jerrod and said" This One serves Syndel no longer" With those words, D'Vorah stabbed Jerrod. "No!" Syndel cried.
D'Vorah removed her stinger. Jerrod's body fell to the ground, dead. "No!" Syndel cried again, rushing to her husband's body. Ko'Tal motioned to D'Vorah and Reptile and the three bailed. Syndel knelt by her husband's body, crying. She cradled his head in her arms, unable to do anything else. "Jerrod," Syndel whimpered.
She hugged his body closer. "We must go," one of the guards said urgently. Syndel shook her head, staring at Jerrod's body. "We have to go," the guard repeated. Syndel nodded, but looked devastated. Her husband was dead. Syndel shook her head in disbelief. She slowly stood up and faced her guards. "Find the traitors," she commanded.
The guards nodded. They went off. Syndel sighed and stared back down at Jerrod's body. She couldn't believe her husband was dead. Syndel shook her head. She lifted Jerrod's body up and slowly made her way back to the castle. Syndel felt very heavy, very sad. She slowly walked back to the castle. At the castle, Syndel found absolute hell.
The castle was also under attack! Syndel cursed under her breath. Her guards stiffened. They shifted in front of Syndel. They wouldn't let anything happen to the queen. Soon, rebels began to overwhelm the guards. One of the guards grabbed her arm and began to run. "Where are we going?" Syndel asked. "It is too dangerous for you here," the guard said.
He ushered her on. The guard looked around as they ran. He had to protect the queen. Even if it meant leaving Outworld. He had to get her to Earth. "Rekio, where are we going?" Syndel asked. "Earth," Rekio replied. Syndel shot her most trusted guard a look. "Trust me on this," Rekio said. "They will kill you otherwise."
Syndel nodded glumly. "Do not worry, your Highness," Rekio said. "You will be okay." Syndel and Rekio continued on. Rekio searched for the portal to Earth. He frowned. "What is it?" Syndel asked. Rekio shook his head. Syndel frowned. "Found it," the guard muttered to himself. Rekio brushed aside some branches to reveal a portal.
"Go," he said softly. Syndel hesitated. "Go," Rekio repeated. Syndel nodded and went through the portal. Rekio was about to follow when he heard the sound of rebels approaching. He cursed under his breath and quickly hid the portal, drawing his sword. Rekio fought his hardest against the rebels, hoping the queen would be safe.
