Chapter 2: After The War

Edenia

20 Years Ago

Soon after the war, Kitana and Jade had learned of Chris's disappearance.

"This is unfortunate," said Queen Sindel. "The war was won by Earthrealm but Chris, according to Sonya, Reiko injured him severely as he was extracting."

"Is he dead?" asked Jade.

"No, but he will not be waking up for a while. Such injury could kill a person, but Chris was lucky."

"Where is he?" Kitana asked.

"No one knows."

Outworld

"Fool! You could've killed him!" Tanya was yelling at Reiko.

"I only took him out of commission. Why are you so infatuated with him?"

"That is none of your business. Although I will admit, I wanted him alive so he could witness Jade's death by my hand. She took a liking to him."

"But they are not together."

"A fact that holds true even now. And now, he's gone missing."

"You plan on looking for him?"

"No. I have other pressing matters to attend to."

Special Forces in Earthrealm

Sonya had tried to contact Chris of his progress in Vietnam, but he has not responded.

"Anything?" Asked Johnny Cage.

"This is not like him. His comm must be down."

"Well, Kenshi just gave me a report. He was taken out of Vietnam with a shattered collarbone."

Sonya rose up. "Is he dead?"

"No, he's in a coma."

Sonya looked at the report. "First, his wife and daughter, now him. How long will be out?"

"Hard to say."
