Chapter 14: into the fire part two
-Helicarrier-
The moment Thrall had left Jade and Garrosh alone to train, he began to get to work on summoning the leaders of the horde. With assistance of Uncle, Tohru, and Dr. Strange, Thrall was able to open portals from Thunder Bluff to Silvermoon City. the trade prince of the Bilgewater Cartel Gallywix emerged with the troll and Tauren Chieftains Vol'Jin Darkspear and Baine Bloodhoof. The Blood Elven Reagent Lord Lor'Themar Theron and the undead queen Sylvanas Windrunner. They each brought a representative of their respective cities.
Jade and Garrosh was just finished with their sparring match and met up with Thrall at the conference room. Thrall sat next to Nick Fury while the rest sat in order from left to right: Lor'Themar Theron, Vol'Jin, Sylvanas, Jade, Garrosh, Gallywix, and Baine. The meeting went underway to promote an alliance between earth and the horde to assist in saving both worlds. Sylvanas opened up the discussion.
"Why should we aid humans? We would rather use them to make more undead to take Lorderan from the Alliance!" Garrosh scoffed and Jade looked angry at the dark queen who looked down on the preteen with malicious intent. Her undead eyes reminded Jade of when she was queen of the shadowkhan. "These humans are not our enemy, Sylvanas. And you will do well to remain silent unless you have something to say that will benefit us!" Garrosh shot at Sylvanas as she sulked back in her seat. Lor'Themar stood up. "If these humans are to be our allies, why not test their loyalty? what's to say that they aren't really in the Alliance and are plotting our downfall?" Thrall sighed. It appears that some of the horde leaders are having difficulties in adjusting to working with a species that they called enemy. Thrall stood up to challenge the Blood Elf. "The humans can be trusted. I have seen their courage and loyalty the moment we arrived." Vol'Jin suggested that they build embassies to reinforce their relations with earth. Thrall and Nick Fury agreed on the plan.
An alarm went off, telling the agents that an unknown group is causing pandemonium in London. Jade, Lor'Themar and Sylvanas readied their gear and head out. Dr. Strange opened a portal to London as the three heroes stepped into the portal and into a city in chaos. a group of weird hooded figures were destroying the buildings of the city. "The Twilight hammer cult? here?" Sylvanas questioned. She pulled and arrow and aimed at one of the members when a fireball came in contact with the arrow, causing it to disintegrate. "Don't just stand their girl, attack! Prove that you are an ally!" Jade drew her sword and began slicing through cultists like butter. Everything was going fine until something flew above them.
Hsi Wu swooped down and grabbed Jade and tossed her to the ground, causing a hole from the impact. Jade slowly got up to see who grabbed and threw her. His Wu didn't look much like himself. He had metal claws and wings as well as a black visor over his eyes. "So nice to meet you again, Jade. I am now mecha Wu!" He used his razor sharp talons to swoop in to make the final kill blow until an arrow pierced his wing.
Sylvanas stood behind her, bow at hand as Hsi Wu looked around to see who shot the arrow. "It would seem that you have some unusual allies. No matter, I'll take care of you when I kill these losers." Hsi Wu began his attack when Lor'Themar blocked the attack with his sword. "For the glory of Quel'Thalas!" He shouted his battle cry as he and Jade leapt to the sky demon, swords gleaming their reflections as each fighter cornered him as Sylvanas prepared her bow. An enchanted arrow courtesy of Uncle. "No, no, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" his Wu was shot in the heart as he began to disintegrate. "I will not go without doing a bit of damage." Hsi Wu muttered something as black needles surround the heroes and pierced through their armor.
Luckily they weren't even fatal, just a pain to remove as the heroes removed the needles and was about to head out until another demon appeared. "Not another." Sylvanas sighed as Tso Lan appeared before them. The moon demon also got a mechanical makeover by Yuri as his smaller arms were now graviton cannons. "Calm down, I am here to deliver a message." He said calmly.
Jade remembered the last time someone left a message, that only had the enforcers getting their butts kicked by her. "Please, accept this as a token of your progress. I am sure we will be seeing each other again soon." He gave Jade a device of unknown origin. It was a hilt of some kind. It does look kind of menacing looking as she asked Tso Lan what this was about, only for him to direct her attention to where Hsi Wu was to reveal a shard. "That is just one shard of a powerful sword that may save the nine realms. all you need to do is search for the 1000 sword shards and they will come back together."
Jade couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Why tell me about this? What's in it for you?" Tso Lan immediately responded. "I would like to see this tale unfold as you heroically gather the shards and reforge the sword to fulfill your destiny. Once forged, not even Yuri will be a match for you." Tso Lan vanished.
