First time they entered Edenia, and they get sent to prison for that. Sad, ain't it?

Chapter 8: Captured by Kitana

As Sango and Miroku woke up a few minutes later after going through the portal, they found themselves in a very nice place. It was a lot like Earthrealm, except everybody looked either middle-aged or younger.

Sango asked a citizen, "Excuse me, but do you know what realm this is?"

"This is Edenia," replied the citizen. "We were part of Outworld for a long time until a war had been won by Princess Kitana and her Earthrealm allies."

"Thank you," said Sango as the citizen left.

"This is such a lovely realm," said Miroku. "Once we find out what Sesshomaru and Kikyo are doing, we can come back to here."

"Yep, but in the meantime, we better go back and head over to Outworld."

"Halt!" shouted a woman's voice.

The two of them saw a woman in a blue outfit. They both recognized her. It was the Edenian princess, Kitana.

"Hey Kitana!" yelled Sango in excitement. Miroku was waving his hand. Their happiness about seeing a friend alive again was cut short when two masked guards had seized them.

"The two of you are under arrest for opposing Onaga, the Dragon King of Outworld," said Kitana in a strict and angry voice. "Guards, take them to the prison that Sindel is locked in."

"What the--!" shouted Miroku. "We just got here! Who is Onaga!"

"We don't know the Dragon King!" shouted Sango. "Let us go! We haven't done anything!"

After about fifteen minutes, they were thrown into a prison cell with another woman in there. Sango and Miroku were angry and confused. What was going on with Kitana?

"Are the two of you okay?" asked the woman.

"Yeah, a little," said Sango. "What is going on? What happened to Kitana?"

"It's the Dragon King's doing," said the woman. "Kitana died at the hand of the Deadly Alliance. Due to the Dragon King's magic, she was resurrected and became a servant of his."

"What! Resurrected!" said Miroku in disbelief. "Did the same thing happen to everyone else?"

"Only one body was too weak, well, according to the Dragon King," said the woman. "She wasn't weak at all. She's the daughter of one of the deceased Elder Gods."

It's either that Sonya woman or Maria, Sango thought to herself. Then she said, "You seem to know a lot about Princess Kitana."

Then the woman said, "It is because I am her mother. I am Queen Sindel of Edenia."

"Queen!" said Miroku. "I am sorry about this, Your Majesty. This must've really caused a lot of emotional pain for you."

"I'm still hurt from my past as well," said Sindel. "Originally, I killed myself to keep my life away from Shao Kahn, who forced me to marry him. Ten thousand years later, I was resurrected by his evil and saw what Shao Kahn has done to Earthrealm. I couldn't stop myself from obeying him. Once Earthrealm was out of Kahn's hands, I was as well. Edenia then became separated from Outworld. Now the Dragon King is causing havoc upon all of the realms."

Looks like we'll need to defeat the Dragon King and save the five warriors, Miroku thought. Then he said, "Once we get out of this cell, we are going to help you save Kitana and her allies. They were our allies as well. We should at least help."

"Miroku is right," said Sango. "Friends should help friends."

"Thank you," said Sindel. "I really appreciated that."

Then they heard a window shatter. A woman in green clothing unlocked the cell and said, "Come on, let's get out of here."

"Jade," said Sindel, "thank you. Did you hear about--?"

"I didn't hear," said Jade, "I watched. I saw what happened to Kitana. Right now, let's get out of here. Kitana is on her way here."

Everyone escaped from the cell that they were locked in. Then they heard someone shout, "The prisoners are escaping!" It was Kitana.

"I'll take care of her!" said Jade. "You three go to the portal!"

Sango had some doubts about Jade fighting Kitana alone. Jade fought Kitana to have Sindel, Miroku, and Sango run away. Then they all saw two shadows. One was another woman while the other was a huge figure. Sango believed it was wrong to leave Jade behind, so she went back and helped Jade lock Kitana in a cell. Then Sango and Jade escaped the prison area and caught up with Sindel and Miroku. Sindel said, "This is the correct portal to Outworld. We must hurry before the Dragon King finds us here."

All four of them jumped into the portal and made it to Outworld. They found themselves in a desert in Outworld.

R&R please!
