Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 16: A Night in Outworld

Meanwhile in Outworld, Chris and the girls were staying at Mileena's place. Samus was taking in what she learned from them about Outworld and its history. It was late at night and everyone was sleeping. Samus, however, wasn't able to. She knows that another Black Moon satellite could detonate at any moment. She recalled a conversation she had with Tanya.

FLASHBACK FROM EARLIER

As Kitana, Jade and Mileena were discussing on how to deal with the Black Moons, Tanya and Samus walked the streets towards the marketplace. Samus seemed curious about Chris. Back in Earthrealm, Samus discovered Chris' military background. He was enlisted by the U.S. Government as a commander of the Homefront Warriors. As Samus dug deep, she learned that his wife and daughter were killed by Kano, a member of the Black Dragon terrorist organization. She looked at his achievements, but the one that caught her eye was when he saved Earthrealm. After learning all this, Samus soon realized that he could save Earthrealm again by stopping the Black Moons. Tanya snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Samus, you ok?"

"Sorry. How long you've known Chris?"

"I've known him for quite a while. He's quite a charmer."

"How so?"

"Are you familiar with the Mortal Kombat tournament?"

"No."

"The tournament took place in Earthrealm. Chris attended here to bring Kano to justice. However, the tournament moved here in Outworld. That's where I met him. I knew very little of him. The first time I met him, he was attacked by the Black Dragon. Just in the nick of time, he rescued me. Kano was about to rape me at the time."

Samus was surprised at what Tanya revealed.

"If it weren't for him..." Tanya stopped. She had a vision of her carrying Kano's child. The vision made her sick.

"You ok?" Samus tended to Tanya as she fell over, throwing up. Samus became concerned of Tanya's well-being. Had Chris not rescue her, she would indeed be carrying Kano's child. Tanya rose up.

"Sorry you had to see that, but what I'm trying to say is that if it wasn't for Chris, I'd be carrying Kano's child..." Tanya began breaking down. Samus held her close. "I'm sorry, Samus."

"There's no need, Tanya. Because of Chris' actions, your body remains unchanged."

"That's true."

"Why don't we head back to Mileena's place? It's late."

The two headed back to Mileena's place.

END OF FLASHBACK

Samus was in her thoughts of the events since her arrival. Suddenly, she felt arms around her sides. She turns around. It was Tanya. "Why aren't you asleep? she asked?

"I had this feeling that one of the Black Moons could detonate at any moment."

"Listen, I don't want you to stress over it. We'll figure out a way to stop them. For now, you need some sleep."

Samus agreed and joined Tanya back inside. Samus sees Chris and Jade sleeping, Kitana in the other room, Mileena in her room, and Tanya on the far back. They entered Tanya's room. "Let me give you something to get you out of that suit." She gave Samus a nightgown for the night. Samus changed her outfit. Tanya couldn't take her eyes off Samus. Her body looks amazing, Tanya thought. She shook her head as she laid down, happy at the thought that she isn't carrying Kano's child. Samus laid next to her. She looked like she hadn't slept in years.

"Samus?"

'Yeah?"

"Sorry to ask but, when was the last time you fell in love?"

"I've never fallen in love, mainly because I was so focused on my missions."

"What kind of missions?"

"I'm a bounty hunter. People that know me refer to me as a loner, always so focused on completing missions. My first one took place on a planet called Zebes. My mission was to infiltrate and destroy those creatures called Metroids, creatures that drain the life force of its victims. My second mission was on their home planet SR388. I thought I eliminated them all, but then I found the last Metroid, which was a infant. I took it with me to a space station to discover its qualities. I was on my way to seek out new bounties but I was called back to Zebes to rescue the infant. Unfortunately, during my battle with a micro organism known as Mother Brain, I was on the verge of death, until the infant, fully grown, stopped it from finishing me off. The adult Metroid sacrificed itself to save me and I was able to finish off Mother Brain. I know it sounds more crazy, Tanya, but that's my life."

Tanya looked at her the same way she looks at Chris. While Chris was a hero in Earthrealm, Samus was a heroine in space. Like Tanya, Samus also fights for survival as well. The life of a bounty hunter is a dangerous one, and Samus in Tanya's eyes was living proof. She's never met someone whose unquestionable bravery was recognized by those who know her. "What about you, Tanya? Considering how beautiful you are, you must have done something to be recognized as a heroine."

Tanya realized that if she told Samus of her past, she would consider her an enemy.

"Samus, what I'm about to tell you..."

Before Tanya could explain, Samus sensed something in her. "Your eyes..."

"What about them?"

"You were corrupted..."

Tanya rose up.

"How is it possible that you know what happened to me?"

"I could tell, Tanya. I was corrupted as well. But you, yours came from dark magic."

How the hell did she know that?

"However, something changed you. I know it, Tanya."

"You know nothing about me!"

"Yes, I do, Tanya. Whatever dark magic imbued within you, something changed it. The corruption that plagued you for so long is gone. Can you tell me what caused it?"

Tanya began crying. Somehow Samus knew of her past. Perhaps Kitana, Jade, Mileena or even Chris might have told her, but none of them did. She held Tanya close to her.

"I told you about Chris, did I?"

"What about him?"

"I forgot to mention that... I fell in love with him. The night he stayed with me in my campsite here, we were under the covers, making love. I felt something pouring inside me. I felt his influence, his seed. I loved him, but I betrayed him."

"Why?"

"When I was corrupted by dark magic, I wanted ultimate power for myself, but I went too far."

"What does Chris' seed have anything to do with this?"

"A few nights later, something happened to me. I don't know how it happened but I felt some aura leaving my body. It took on the form of... me, my former self... my evil twin. After I defeated her, she revealed to me that she was created by a elder god named Shinnok, who I worshipped before this happened. I was myself again. It was revealed that Chris was the one that freed me. The love we made... it was so strong. It somehow changed me in ways I never thought possible. It was strange."

"Could there be something special about him?"

"There is, Just like I see something special in you, Samus. You're beautiful. The moment I see you out of your... whatever that is, I was mesmerized by your stunning beauty."

"Tanya..."

She kissed Samus. She was taken aback by the kiss. They laid down and locked lips. They both got off their nightgowns. Tanya massaged Samus' breasts. She licked around her nipples and kissed down her body. Eventually she slid her tongue into her vagina. Samus moaned under her breath. Tanya found her spot and went to work. Samus tried not to moan too loud, but Tanya's work with her tongue was exceptional. Samus was getting close. She shot her load. Tanya got on top and kissed her. "You learn quickly, lady."

Samus looked at Tanya. "Did you just call me "Lady?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"It reminded me of someone who used to call me that. His name was Adam."

"Oh?"

"He was the one who understood me. He was tough but fair at the same time. You're the second person to call me that."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Tell me, Tanya. Is there someone special in your life, besides Chris?"

"There was a man back in Edenia. His name was Rain. He was the prince."

"I take it there was a love interest?"

"Not exactly. He was always too into himself."

"What do you mean?"

"He intends to take the throne for himself. That throne belongs to Queen Sindel. He showed no interest to me."

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

"That was the lesson I learned when I met Chris. He was the only one who showed real interest to me. I was foolish to think that hurting him would have serious consequences."

"So he married Jade just to spite you?"

"That was my first thought, but then again, I've grown to accept it. Chris accepted me in his life. The things he's been through led me to believe that he is the real deal. I also see now the same thing about you. The things you went through, I can only imagine."

"You think he would be able to stop the Black Moons?"

"I do not know. Right now, we'll see what we can do."

Tanya kisses Samus again.

"Good night, Tanya."

"Good night, Samus."

They lip lock. They held close together, where they remained throughout the night.
