Love & War: The Black Moons
Chapter 26: Seeking Potential Allies
Meanwhile in Edenia, Jade was speaking to Queen Sindel about potential allies to help aid Earthrealm in stopping the Black Moon satellites.
"Unfortunately, Jade, our military is shorthanded," Sindel said. "I'm sure Chris can find allies in Earthream."
"There was this woman named Samus. According to Chris, she came from space to investigate the satellites. No doubt she wants to get to the bottom of it."
"Earthrealm has strong allies, right? You should go to Outworld and ask Mileena."
"Mileena already knows the situation. Maybe I should ask Master Bo' Rai Cho and Li Mei."
After taking the portal to Outworld, she visits Bo' Rai Cho's dojo.
"Jade! What a pleasant surprise!"
"Always a honor, Master. I need to speak with you."
Jade explains to the Master and Li Mei about the Black Moons and that she is seeking potential allies.
"This is horrible," said Li Mei.
"I really need you help, guys. Chris and his allies could be in serious trouble."
"I have a proposition for you, Jade. Liu Kang and Kung Lao I feel may be involved in this," said Bo'.
"I also need to speak to Scorpion and Sub-Zero."
Jade returned to Earthrealm to seek out Scorpion and Sub-Zero, as well as the Shaolin Monks themselves. She visited the Shirai Ryu temple.
"Scorpion."
Scorpion was teaching his Shirai Ryu initiates when Jade.
"Jade."
"I'm sorry for coming here uninvited, but I seek your aid. We are facing a crisis."
"What crisis?"
"The Black Moons."
Scorpion looked up at the sky. "It hasn't moved since yesterday. What exactly is a Black Moon?"
"A series of satellites that emit a electromagnetic pulse. New York City has fallen and possibly the entire realm is without power."
"Who is controlling these satellites," asked Scorpion.
"A terrorist organization called Shadaloo, led by its leader, M. Bison."
Scorpion thought for a moment. "I need to see Sub-Zero. I am sure he will heed your words."
They went to the Lin Kuei temple to meet with Sub-Zero.
"Who dares?"
"SEKTOR!"
"Grandmaster Sektor to you, Hanzo!"
"Where's Sub-Zero?"
"Dead, as you two will be."
Scorpion and Jade team up and Sektor. Apparently, Sektor took over the Lin Kuei after killing his father, the former Garndmaster. Sektor seemed to be at a disadvantage. Before Scorpion could finish, Sektor was frozen. Sub-Zero and his apprentice, Frost, ended the battle."
"Sub-Zero!"
"Hanzo. Jade. I take it you are here to discuss the Black Moon upbringing," said Kuai Liang, AKA Sub-Zero.
"Yes. I am seeking potential allies to help stop the Black Moon from destroying Earthrealm," Jade explained.
"We'll be happy to help." Liu Kang and Kung Lao followed suit. "Raiden explained to us about these satellites. Master Bo' Rai Cho and Li Mei are waiting for us?"
"Were you sent here by Sonya Blade?" asked Lao.
"No. There was a young lady named Karin Manzuki from Japan. She seeks strong fighters to help combat Shadaloo, whose controlling these satellites. Chris and the others are already on board. I only ask if you are as well."
The monks bowed to Jade in respect. "Jade, I want you to meet Kai. he was with us until he went soul-searching."
Liu Kang introduced Jade to a dark-skinned warrior. He wears a maroon sash from his shoulder, a maroon headband and has white marks throughout his body. His name is Kai.
"I am honored, Jade. I will be grateful to help."
"Excellent! We must meet with Sonya at S-F. Chris and the others are there now."
