After destroys the Skull Heart for now wishing for the Fishbone gang to be brought back, Ms. Nadira Fortune went back to Little Innsmouth and joined a local detective Irvin to save her friend Minette and the other young girls from the Medici Mafia. Later on, she begins to have romantic feelings with the detective Irvin and the two were married. The two gave birth to a girl named Kimlinh. At age five, Kimlinh started to lose her head, arms, and legs which she mutated from her mother with the Life Gem. Ms. Fortune makes sure that she teaches her daughter everything she knows.
Years later, Christine was now an cunning twenty year old catgirl sitting on the wooden lines on the ceiling as she spotted two men walking in front of her best Dagonian friend named Jadeite who is a waiter of the restaurant called Yu-wan's restaurant. Two men came in with knives on their belts and sly yet curious looks on their faces as they took their empty seats.
"Hey, Gill-boy!" the black-haired man named Robert called out.
"Can I help you, gentlemen?" Jadeite asked with a shocked look on his face.
"My friend and I were looking for new recruits for the Medici Mafia and we were thinking that you will be perfect." Robert replied.
"Also, let me and my friend some free drinks and food and we'll be our way." The brown-haired man named Carlos said.
"I'm sorry sir." Jadeite apologized. "But I'm not interested in the Medici Mafia and you two will have to pay the food and drink I give you. Now, I have to get back to work."
"Well, if you put it that way." Robert said, giving Carlos a You Know What To Do look.
"Guess we'll have no choice but to take you with us by force." Carlos said, grabbing Jadeite by the arms.
Robert throws a rope around Jadeite as tightly as he can while Jadeite was struggling to be free. Robert and Carlos ran out of the restaurant door until they were stopped by Kimlinh.
"Hey, boys." Kimlinh said in a fierce tone. "Let's Jadeite go and no one get hurt."
"I don't think so, Kitty." Robert replied as he took his knife slowly. He then slashed Kimlinh's head and watched her drop dead. "See, a cat like her is too naïve to fight or seen death coming."
Unaware that Kimlinh is alive, Carlos looked at the catgirl with a laugh and grabbed Jadeite with Robert. Kimlinh slowly opened her eyes to stare at Robert and Carlos. With a fierce smile, she bites Carlo's arm and Robert's leg while her body delivered several kicks and scratches at them. Realizing that the catgirl is strong and have the same powers from the Life Gem, birth Robert and Carlos ran away without finishing their fight.
"Thanks, Kimlinh." Jadeite said with a smile. "You're my hero."
After untying Jadeite from the rope, Kimlinh gazed at her mother coming towards her with Jadeite's mother Minette. Ever since Minette introduced Jadeite to Kimlinh when they were five year old, the two had been childhood friends but later on have romantic feelings for each other.
"Thanks for saving my son, Kimlinh." Minette smiled.
"No problem." Kimlinh winked her left eye at Minette. Then, she turned to face her mother. "So, I heard there's a new Skullgirl out there."
"That's why I'm here to tell you." Ms. Fortune said. "Since your training has been improving, I'll give you a mission to search the Skull Heart."
"Skull Heart?" Kimlinh echoed with wonder.
"It's a mystical object that can grant you only one wish if your heart is pure." Ms. Fortune explained. "When I was you're your age, I want to wish for her friends back—The Fishbone Gang, but I can't because of my new friends. So, I destoryed it."
"So your stories about the Fishbone Gang were true?" Kimlinh asked with a shock. "And you were part of it?"
Ms. Fortune gave her daughter a nod. "Now, it's your turn to take your chance for the Skull Heart."
Kimlinh was thinking about her mother's offer for a moment. Ten years, she always wanted to know what happened to the Fishbone Gang or who they are. With the Skull Heart she could wish about them to make her mother proud.
"Mom, I'm in!" Kimlinh finally said. "I'll defeat the Skullgirl and retrieve the Skull Heart."
"That's my girl." Ms. Fortune smiled. "To find her, she's at New Medrian inside the Divinity Cathedral."
"Hope you make us proud." Minette reminded.
"And come back safe." Jadeite said as he gave Kimlinh a kiss on the cheek.
With that, she left.
