Love & War 4
Chapter 16: Rumble In The Jungle
In the jungles of Outworld...
"That's disgusting," said Sonya, after seeing D'Vorah eat a lizard.
"What? This One is hungry. I can regurgitate if you wish to share."
"No, please stop."
Chris stopped to throw up. Apparently he has not eaten in like a week.
"You ok, Chris?"
"It's what I get for not eating breakfast before we came here," Chris replied.
"Would you like...?"
"No, I would not, D'Vorah. I don't trust myself to eat parasites."
"Ten bucks says my baby mama snaps before D'Vorah, said Johnny.
"Don't tempt me, Johnny."
"Ok, you two need to get your head back on straight," said Jade, annoyed of Sonya's and Johnny's bickering.
"Jade, if you were..."
"Sonya! Enough!" Chris said with authority. "We are here on this mission. We're not here to hear you two idiots going at each other's throats again!"
"Lighten up, man..."
"Da fuck?"
"What's wrong?" asked Sonya.
"I think we found our kidnapper. He's telling us the girls are."
"Mavado, We don't bargain with Red Dragons."
"We don't bargain, period," said Erron Black. "These girls are the property of Kotal Kahn."
"The way I see it, they're property of Reiko," Mavado replied.
"These idiots will kill each other," said Cassie.
"If they start fighting, we run," Jacqui said.
"Blind?"
"At least they'll be distracted."
"My crew outnumbers yours, Kano. That's not in your favor."
Kano killed one of them with his eye laser.
"One down. Rest o' you to go."
The fight ensued. It was a good moment for Cassie and Jacqui to flee, but Jacqui tackled Mavado and beat him senseless. "Finish him."
Cassie was ready to deliver the final blow when Mavado got a sniper bullet to his nutsack! Mavado screamed in agonizing pain.
"SNIPER!"
Another shot was fired between Mavado's eyes this time.
"Yo, Cassie, Jacqui!"
It was a woman with a sniper rifle. It was Melody, Chris' daughter!
"MELODY!"
They each hugged each other. Melody released them of their shackles.
"Where did you learn to shoot that?"
"Uh, Cassie, it's called the CheyTac M-200 Intervention, or simply known as the Intervention. My father taught me how to military weaponry.
"Your father?"
"Chris."
"Chris is your father?"
"Adoptive father. We'll talk about that later. Right now, I need to find him. I believe your parents are looking for you as well. Let's go."
"You're not going anywhere." Kano stopped them. He then notices Melody.
"Kano..." Melody looked him dead in his eye.
"And who might you be, little girl?"
"Hold my rifle."
Cassie took the Intervention.
"My name is Melody. I am the adoptive daughter of Chris, the man who you killed his family long ago! He told me all about you, how you manipulated him at every turn, how you constantly test his sanity to its breaking point. Now that I've met you..."
Melody pulls out her 90Two and aims it at Kano.
"Say your prayers."
Kano laughed, then blasted all three of them with his laser. He and the Black Dragons soon escorted all three of them to Shang Tsung's island...
