Love & War: The Black Moons
Chapter 5: Set In Motion
In Edenia, Jade visited Queen Sindel.
"Jade, my dear."
"Greetings, my queen. I came here because Earthrealm could once again be in danger."
"What do you mean?"
"You may not believe this, but the sun was covered by some sort of satellite called the Black Moons."
"Black Moons? What does this have to do with Edenia?"
"Sonya sent me here. I met someone who arrived from space. Her name is Samus Aran. She discovered all 7 satellites. I don't know the purpose of these satellites, but I'm guessing that Earthrealm could use our help again."
"Samus... this is new. Is Edenia in danger?"
"It does not appear so, but I have a feeling whoever's controlling those satellites could potentially pose a threat to us and Outworld, but as of now, Earthrealm seems to be the main focus."
"If that's the case, I want you, Kitana and Tanya to watch over Chris. If these "Black Moons" pose a threat, he'll need backup. I'm sure Sonya and this Samus girl could help as well. Kitana and Tanya are currently in Outworld. Mileena's restoration there is almost complete. You'll need to inform them of this situation. I'm heading to Earthrealm to pay Sonya a visit."
"Very well, my queen. I will go to Outworld."
Jade bows to the queen as she takes the portal to Outworld. Sindel took the same portal to Earthrealm.
Back in Earthrealm, inside the Shadaloo base, a redhead female scientist was fearing for her life, running from a slender Chinese man who calmly follows her. Eventually, he corners her at the end of the corridor. Oh yeah, his name is F.A.N.G.
"The smell isn't bad at all, but anyone who betrays Lord Bison is my enemy!"
F.A.N.G moved closer to her.
"I must erase you, leaving nothing behind."
The scene faded to black. Afterward, the girl was gone. No blood or anything. A clean kill. F.A.N.G scooped the purple dust at his feet.
"You know, this smells even better."
He notices something behind him.
"Oh, you arrived sooner than I expected."
Meanwhile, Rashid was on his way to he base entrance when F.A.N.G was stepping out.
"Hello, good sir," Rashid greeted. "I just came here to pick up a dear friend of mine. Can we discuss terms?"
"You're a bit late," F.A.N.G replied with a ridiculous laugh. He started spinning around, flapping his arms like a jackass. Capcom, what the hell were you thinking?
"Ohh, that's it!"
F.A.N.G was referring to the piece in Rashid's hand.
"Do you want this? How about a even trade, this for my friend?"
"You talk too much! Just hand over the piece to yours truly, or I will destroy you!"
The fight begins. Rashid wanted to walk out peacefully as intended, but instead, he had no knowledge that Shadaloo is not exactly an organization to discuss bargains. Rashid learned the hard way when he is defeated. F.A.N.G picks up the piece, hoping there were others with him. It appears not.
"Rats! He only had one of them!"
Regardless of that, he seems satisfied as he returns to base, followed by cloaked guards.
"Now, we can let the festivities begin."
