Jacqui growls as the soldiers forcefully ties her hands to the back of a chair. Her hair was unbraided and was in a bun that had a flower sticking on top. She was wearing a white Cheongsam with yellow colored lily-pad flower patterns on it, the dress went down to her knee's, both sides of the dress had a slits that went to her hips. She wore white ankle strapped five inch heels, much to her annoyance, she hated heels. In front of her was a diamond female Shiria Ryu village doing her make up. She was applying a very dark color of red onto Jacqui lips, as she does this Long-Wa watches by the doorway, enjoying the sight of Jacqui trying not to kill the woman in front of her.
"You look amazing." Long-Wa said, but Jacqui didn't respond. Much to Long-Wa annoyance. He whistles at the woman, making her bow her head to him before leaving the room. Once gone, Jacqui looks at Long-wa.
"I hate your hair." She said.
"I think it's a good look for him." Long-wa said with a smirk on his face.
"What are you going to do with me?" Jacqui asked. "Use me in some sort of sacrifice ritual?"
"Kind of." Long-Wa said. "But it will not kill you-kill you, it will however change you in a big way." Long-Wa said, he then walks over to Jacqui and gently presses his hand to her left cheek. Stroking her soft skin with his bare hand. Jacqui felt disgust, this man in Takeda body was trying to have his way with her and it made her sick. Long-wa saw this and came up with an idea.
"You're so beautiful…but Cassie much prettier." Long-wa said, making Jacqui roll her eyes.
"Yea I know, she got tits and ass and you would love to put her in your harem of girls." Jacqui muttered.
"I would, and Takeda wouldn't mind it ether." Long-Wa said, making Jacqui look at him with a little worry on her face.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Oh, Takeda never told you? He had eyes for Cassie before hooking up with you." Long-wa said. "In fact, he only started to date you in order to make her jealous."
"Your lying!" Jacqui shouted. "Takeda loves me!"
"Now of course, but Jacqui, even you know that lust is stronger than love." The possessed Takeda said with a smirk on his face. Jacqui eyes were glued to the ground, and she began to think of Long-wa words.
"Your lying…I mean…" Jacqui was lost in words. What Long-wa was saying wasn't a lie to Jacqui. Some guys had used her to get to Cassie, but they never gotten with ether so they would forget about Jacqui. But Takeda wasn't like that, well at least to Jacqui at least. It was then Jacqui saw before her eyes, Takeda and Cassie, together on their ship, flirting and talking to one another as if they were a couple themselves. Long-wa smiled, he LOVED Takeda body and powers. It was so easy to manipulate people without breaking a sweat. Especially when it in their minds.
"Takeda loved me." Jacqui muttered under her breath.
"I know, but I see Takeda memories, and I see that he was eying Cassie more than you when you first met." Long-Wa said. "In fact, I think he asked her out."
"That's a lie!" Jacqui shouted. "Cassie would have told me! And Takeda would never hurt my feelings like this!"
"Do you want to know why Takeda is with you Jacqui?" Long-wa asked, the young woman shakes her head no, but Long-wa ignored her response:
"Cassie begged him to ask you out on a date, to improve yourself esteem. And guess what she promised in the end?"
"STOP IT!" Jacqui shouted, Long-wa magic was working, she was seeing Takeda before her eyes laugh and flirt with her best friends behind her back as if it was a game to them.
"They had sex Jacqui." Long-wa said as he creates an image of horror in front of Jacqui. The man she loved and her best friend, having sex before her eyes. The image was enough to make her scream in pain, her voice was so loud it made Long-Wa get rid of the image before her. Leaving the young woman staring at the ground as she wept.
"Takeda loves me…" She moaned in sadness. "He…loves me…"
"Do you really believe that?" Long-Wa asked. "Men are pigs Jacqui, taking it from one who has lived for thousands of years. Men manipulate woman all the time. Which makes me think, you shouldn't be mad at Takeda, you should be mad at Cassie. Women who manipulate the men to play this game with them, are the evil one's Jacqui." Long-Wa said as he takes Jacqui chin in his hand and raises her head up so that she was looking at him. At this very moment, she was broken, her walls of protection was gone and Long-Wa took that chance to plant his seeds of evil into her mind.
"I love you Jacqui." He said. "And so does Takeda, even though he's a horny animal he still HAS feelings towards you. Its Cassie you should be worried about…and now that I think about it, maybe everyone you thought was your friend…wasn't!"
"What do you mean." Jacqui asked as she leans back in the chair she was chained to.
"Think about? Cassie mother practically runs your team, so she had to know, then there's Jin, he ALWAYS snooping around. Your father probably knew as well, that's why he always wanted you two to break up. And then there is Kenshi, Takeda father, a man who can read and see memories of the mind like his son. Don't you think he knew about it as well?"
"They were all laughing at me behind my back." Jacqui muttered. "Making bets and playing jokes I bet." She said.
"Exactly!" Long-wa said. Jacqui stood up from her chair but stops when she saw her hands being chained. Long-wa removes the chains with his mind, once freed, Jacqui walks over to him and hugs him.
"You're the only one that loved me." Jacqui muttered under her breath. "I love you."
"I love you to Jacqui." He whispered into her ear, Jacqui looks at him and smiles before leaning forwards to kiss him. As the two kissed, Long-wa slowly pulls a dagger from his back and raised it towards Jacqui neck…
(Outside of the Shiria Ryu village)
The village was empty and quite, there was no one in sight. Much to Cassie and Johnny dismay. The group of soldiers make their way to the temple, not worrying about the threat that was to come to them. By the time there were in front of the gates of the temple, they could hear voice of screaming women and children. Cassie pulls out her pistol and slowly opens the gates of the temple. Johnny and Sonya stays outside in case there were any villagers who needed their assistance. Jin, Cassie and Jax entered the temple, the group slowly makes their way towards the screaming that they heard until they were in the throne room. There they were attack by diamond statue like Shiria Ryu ninja's that tackled them to the ground. They did their best to fight them off, even breaking a diamond into mini pieces, they were powerless and at some point became restrained. Once restrained and bound to the ground, Long-wa came out from the shadows with a smile on his face.
"WELCOME!" he shouted. "I am so glad you were able to make it to the ritual of engagement."
"Where's my daughter you fucking freak?" Jax asked, making Long-wa smile at Jax.
"Oh, if it isn't the great and annoying Jax Briggs! Still going to therapy for the years in slavery under Shinnok? Or maybe for the mental stress of losing your arms? Or maybe…" Long-wa said as he looks to the ground. "Well, you will see."
"What do you mean?" Jax asked.
"What time is it Cassie?" Long-wa asked Cassie, the young woman shrugs her shoulders. Making Long-wa smile before answering.
"It is 12:15…" Long-wa answered.
"Why is that important?" Jin asked, Long-wa puts his index and thump in his mouth and whistle for his servants. Then a solider appeared out of nowhere, in his hands…a dead Jacqui with a dagger sticking out of her neck. Her white dress stained and her dark skin turned grey. The solider sets the dead woman at the feet of Long-wa. Long-wa does not waste a second removing the dagger from Jacqui neck, he stares at the blade in annoyance before looking down at Jacqui. He kicks the girls body towards her friends and father, the three stared at the dead Jacqui in shock. Her eyes were grey and her lips seemed to have dried up. From the looks of it, she wasn't just stabbed to death, it looked as if she was sucked out of her body. Jax growled as he screams and tries to grab the chains holding him down to free himself, but it was useless. He wasn't going anywhere, nore was Jacqui, his daughter was gone.
