Love War: Fall From Grace
Chapter 4: Cassie's Discovery
Outerworld Investigation Agency
Sonya and Jax had tried to Contact Chris multiple times while looking over documents and Johnny Cage was sparring with his daughter Cassie and her best friend Jacqui.
"Why isn't he answering?" Sonya asked angrily.
Before Jax could answer, there was a security breach.
"Mom, what's going on?" Cassie asked.
"We got a security breach. Sub-Zero?"
"What's he doing here?" Johnny asked. "And who are those babes with him?"
"I don't think it's a social visit," Jax said.
"Sonya Blade." Sub-Zero shook her hand.
"Sub-Zero. I wasn't expecting you. Who are these two?"
"This is Sareena and Ashrah of the Netherrealm. They are defectors of Quan Chi."
"You two served him?"
"Regretfully," Sareena replied. "We are here with urgent... and troubling news."
"What is it?"
"Your Earthrealm champion, Chris. He's now under the control of Quan Chi."
"WHAT?"
"Quan Chi killed him."
Everyone was shocked.
"Who's Chris?" Cassie asked. Sonya brought up his mugshot.
"Chris was our hero. he defeated Shao Kahn long ago, twice. In Outworld and here. He was a commander of the Homefront Warriors, an guerilla warfare agency that aided us many times in the past, an agency he so proudly served."
"I was too late to stop Quan Chi..."
"Don't blame yourself, Sareena," said Ashrah. "You couldn't save him and risk getting killed in the process."
"Wait a minute," Cassie said, checking Chris' family history. She found someone who was rumored to have been killed years ago. Cassie knows this person."
"Mom, did Chris tell you his wife and daughter died?"
"Yeah."
"I know someone who's still alive. Jacqui and I had known her for years."
"Who is she?" Asked Sareena.
"Melody Jones."
