Love & War: Harbinger of Chaos
Chapter 18: Chaos War
In Edenia, Sindel and the girls celebrated Kitana and Jade's freedom of their revenance. However, Sonya contacts Sindel.
Sindel: Greeting, Sonya.
Sonya: Your highness... (Cries)
Sindel: Sonya, is everything alright?
Sonya: I found blood outside the HQ. It's Chris'.
Sindel was stunned by the terrible news.
Sindel: Who did this?
Sonya: I don't know. I was interrogating Kano and Daegon...
Sindel had no words. She looked at the girls. If Sindel broke the news to them, it could crush them, especially Jade and Tanya. This news hit Sindel so hard she collapsed. Kitana noticed this and rushed to her.
Kitana: MOTHER!
The others followed.
Sonya: Your highness, are you there?
Kitana: Sonya, this is Kitana.
Sonya: Is your mother ok?
Kitana: She fainted. What's going on?
Sonya: Have the girls gather around you, Kitana. I have some terrible news.
Kitana didn't like the sound of it.
Kitana: Ladies...
They gathered around her.
Kitana: Go ahead, Sonya.
Sonya: Ladies, I was interrogating Kano and Daegon, and when they were put away, I walked outside to meet Chris. There was blood on the street...
Tanya: Whose is it?
Sonya: Chris'...
Jade was hit hard when Sonya revealed Chris' sudden death. It seemed that the tables have turned. Her and Kitana were revenants. Now...
Jade couldn't prevent the tears from falling. Tanya held her close. She just lost her husband just like he lost her.
Li Mei: Any idea who killed him?
Sonya: No, but whoever did this will catch hell for sure!
Skarlet: Quan Chi...
The others looked a Skarlet.
Tanya: Skarlet, something tells me you know who killed Chris.
Skarlet: When Shao Kahn created me, it was to watch over Quan Chi for any sign of betrayal. If he betrayed the emperor, I was ordered to kill him.
Skarlet rose up.
Skarlet: He murdered Chris!
Jade: You know what this means, girls? He's a revenant! Just like Kitana and I.
Sonya: NO! Chris is a revenant?
Skarlet: I'm afraid so. Quan Chi plans on using him as a weapon of mass destruction against Earthrealm.
Jade: I am not attacking my husband!
Tanya: We have no choice, Jade. If we have to, we will force Quan Chi to reverse the spell.
Sonya: Easier said than done, Tanya.
Kitana: Not if we work together. We did work together when we rescued Skarlet, Li Mei and Tanya without incident.
Sonya: This is different, Kitana.
Sindel woke up.
Kitana: Mother, are you alright?
Sindel was tearing up after hearing Chris' death at the hands of Quan Chi.
Tanya: Sonya, Chris has saved Earthrealm, Outworld and our realm as well. Now it's our turn.
Sonya thought for a moment.
Sonya: I agree, Tanya. You, Li Mei, Skarlet, Kitana and Jade, report to Earthrealm and we will discuss strategies on how to bring Chris back.
Kitana: We will be there, Sonya.
Tanya: Let us unite, ladies.
Jade: I'm ready.
Li Mei: Let's go.
Skarlet: We will prevail.
They all looked at Sindel.
Sindel: If Quan Chi does not cooperate, then end him by all means. Defeat Chris if you must, but bring him to me. I may have a way of removing this corruption from such a gentle soul. Go now, and may the Elder Gods watch over you.
All 5 bowed to the queen and took the portal to Earthrealm.
When they arrived, it was nighttime. They went into the Special Forces HQ to meet with Sonya.
Sonya: Ladies, thank you for coming on such short notice. It's time we bring Chris back, but we need to approach this carefully.
Meanwhile in the realm of Chaos, Midnight received word of Chris' death by Quan Chi. She reported to Havik.
Havik: Excellent, Midnight. It is time. Have the troops ready. We go to Earthrealm. Let Chaos reign. (Evil laugh)
Back in Earthrealm, Sonya and the girls were making strategies on cleansing Chris of his corruption when a series of computer screens were jamming out of control.
Tanya: What's going on?
Sonya: The computers are malfunctioning somehow.
Havik appeared on-screen.
Havik: Hello, ladies.
Kitana: HAVIK!
Havik: Perceptive as always, Princess Kitana. Now, Sonya Blade, I received word that your hero Chris is now a revenant. What you may not know is it was all part of my plan. I struck a deal with Quan Chi. Obviously, he was successful in slaying Shang Tsung, earning him the right to face Chris. Now your precious savior is ours to control. Soon, Earthrealm will fall. Look outside! Chaos is upon you...
Lights went out. The ladies went outside. They looked in horror that the sky is now a sickening green color. Portals were opening everywhere. Sounds of screams can be heard.
Li Mei: This is bad.
Kitana: What do we do?
Tanya: There's no doubt that Havik will show himself.
Sonya: I'm sickened that Quan Chi and Havik are working together. Chris' demise was their doing all along.
Skarlet: Leave Quan Chi to me. His death is my priority.
Tanya: We will take care of Chris.
Kitana: Don't kill him. Mother needs him for the cleansing if Quan Chi doesn't cooperate.
Sonya: Let's get back inside.
Havik and Midnight have arrived, sending their Chaos troops to different parts of Earthrealm. Quan Chi arrived with Chris by his side.
Quan Chi: Our plan came into fruition, Havik.
Havik: And now Earthrealm will the true essence of chaos.
Quan Chi: Chris, find your friends and kill them.
Chris: As you command...
Many countries around Earthrealm are causing quite a stir. Military superpowers were quickly overwhelmed. Chris went on a rampage and killed many innocents under Quan Chi's command. Even his Homefront Warriors were shocked beyond belief that their commander is killing innocents, but they soon learned that he is possessed by the sorcerer.
Somewhere in the Eastern part of Earthrealm, Raiden was rejuvenating at the Jinsei Temple after Shao Kahn's defeat. He suddenly had a vision: Chris as a revenant. He also learned that Kitana, Jade, Skarlet, Tanya and Li Mei with Sonya at their side were now at war with Havik's soldiers.
Raiden: Chris is dead... and I allowed it to happen. They'll need help.
Raiden disappeared.
The girls were able to take down most of the chaos soldiers. Then Midnight appears.
Midnight: So, the 6 whores are still alive?
Midnight used her chaos blast to blow them away except Tanya.
Midnight: Tanya. The Edenian traitor. Somehow I knew you have earned Chris' heart, but he's mine now.
Tanya angrily pushed Midnight.
Tanya: It is true. I earned Chris' heart because he lost his wife, but even though she has returned, I still have love for him.
Midnight: (Evil Laugh) You think love conquers all?
Tanya: At least I am more worthy of it.
Midnight: You say that like it's a good thing.
Tanya: It's taught me one thing... compassion!
Tanya fights Midnight. Tanya was a little skeptical abut Midnight's power. She can heal herself by doing the same mutilation process as Havik, but Tanya soon recognized this and attacked. Midnight soon discovered Tanya's flexibility and was caught off-guard. Tanya took out her Kobu Jutsus and countered Midnight's attacks. She then did a flip kick with her heel smashing the back of Midnight's head. She somersaults over her while grabbing her head and bent her neck far enough to break it. Finally, Tanya leaps on Midnight in a electric chair position and performs a reverse hurricanrana, breaking her neck even more. Tanya would have been a perfect WWE Diva with her sexy moves in my opinion.
Midnight recovered and span her head around.
Midnight: (Evil laugh) Nice, Tanya, bu it's not enough.
Tanya: No, but this is...
Tanya's body glowed a pyrokinetic insignia. She tossed a purple substance called Devil's Dust on Midnight.
Tanya narrowed her eyes and shot her fireball. The result has Midnight's body disintegrating completely.
Tanya breathed a sigh of relief until Raiden showed up with reinforcements, Liu Kang, Kng Lao, Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Bo' Rai Cho and Jax.
Tanya: Raiden!
Raiden: Tanya, where are the others?
Tanya: Scattered throughout this area. Liu Kang... they are normal again.
Raiden: With Shang Tsung gone, their corruption was removed.
Tanya: And now Chris is under the control of Quan Chi.
Raiden: We will free him, Tanya. Let's join the others.
