Love War: Fall From Grace

Chapter 7: A Daughter Scorned

Columbus, Ohio

Quan Chi, Chris and their allies have raided Chris' former home.

"This was your former home," said Quan Chi. "Before your new life."

"Indeed. What must I do, master?"

"Your former allies will arrive soon. The Edenians will be here by portal. Eliminate them."

"As you command." Chris in his revenant form is wearing his new armor, consisting of chain mail on the legs with shin guards and a chestplate, complete with a choker with spikes all around. His eyes are dark blue with black hair.

"I will send reinforcements for you."

Joining Chris was Tanya's evil clone, along with Kira in her MKD alternate, Kano in MKX skin, Mileena in her MKX skin and this fake ass Ken wannabe, Kobra. As they left, Chris was fighting himself in his mind. He married a drop-dead gorgeous Edenian, Jade, and lived a happy life. His cryostasis of 20 years had affected his memories, but they gradually returned. As the war continued in Columbus, the Special Forces, backed by the Homefront Warriors, arrived at the scene. Melody joined them, but couldn't contain her sadness knowing she'll see her father committed heinous acts of violence.

"Chris is located here in the Westside area. He's not alone..."

"Right you are, dear!" Kano.

Sonya was ready to face Kano but suddenly Kano was shot down by sniper fire. That came from Melody, using her Remington MSR with a silencer.

"Remember me, Kano?

"Melody?" Kano was shocked that Melody, the woman he raped and slit her throat years ago is standing tall, alive and well.

"I should've finished you off, ya little brat! Kobra!

Melody wasn't impressed. "This? This is all you got?"

"I'm tougher than I look!"

Melody laughed. "Show me, kid."

"I'll admit: Kobra was effective in Deception with the Shorin Ryu style, with a lot of combos until Johnny Cage borrowed that style in Armageddon. I could imagine Ryu of Street Fighter leaving a voicemail message.

Voicemail Message: You have 1 new message from...

Ryu: Ryu.

(Beep)

Ryu: Kobra, this is Ryu from Street Fighter. I want you to know that I'm suing you for gimmick infringement. I'm willing to call off the lawsuit if you change your outfit and get a haircut. You will never be Ken Masters."

(Beep)

"Hey, this is Ken Master. Ryu told me you been stealing our moves. How about you meet me in the parking lot at Wal-Mart and I'll show you how it's done."

(End of message)

All gimmick infringement jokes aside, Kobra is effective at close range, but Melody is just as good. With a good mix of Shotokan, Judo, Sambo, Vale Tudo and Tae Kwon Do fused into her kickboxing style, she defeats him. "You know better than to hit a lady."

"Sometimes I wonder."

Ohhhh, that set her off and kicked Kobra directly into his ballsack.

"I am way more woman than you can handle."

Kobra laid in defeat thinking, "I can't believe I just got my ass whupped by a girl."

"Impressive." Kira stepped up to Melody.

"I like that outfit," she said to Kira, and then she headbutts her. Kira fell down, out cold. She stepped on Kira's stomach, walking over her. "Those breasts are fake as fuck, anyway. Now, where's my father?

"Like I'll ever tell you."

"Say hello to my new toy!" Kano yelled from the distance as he shot an M136 AT4 disposable rocket launcher. Everyone cleared out except Melody, who used her HW armband's retractable shield to protect herself.

"Nice try, Kano."

Kano and the others have fled. Melody checked her armband and found Chris' new location, in Cincinnati.

"Melody, are you ok? How did you do that?" asked Sonya.

"My armband was created by the Homefront Warriors themselves. It comes with a retractable shield, a hacking device, personal radar. door breacher and a comm system. Check this out.

Melody clicked her the left side of her left eye. Her vision changed into night vision Sonya and the others could see green irises on Melody's eyes. She clicked it again and thermal vision came on, allowing Melody to see body heat signatures as well as hidden explosives. Her irises changed to red and blue. Finally, one more click and she activated X-Ray, her irises turn white.

"As you saw, HW placed a nanomachine into my blood stream. It went into my eyes and as I opened them up, I could see just fine, until I tapped my left side. I have Night, thermal and X-Ray vision."

"Impressive."

"I also found dad's new location, Cincinnati."

"We must hurry."
