Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 40: Stopping the Moon

As the trio of Chris, Tanya and Jade make their way to the Shadaloo base, Chris tried to get in contact with Chun-Li.

"Chris, what's going on?"

"Me and the girls are on our way to the base now. E.T.A. 5 minutes. Samus has been abducted and is somewhere inside the base."

"Who got her?"

"Kano."

"That bastard!"

"I'll be right there."

"Copy that. I'll let Karin know."

Karin walked into the control room. Just then she sees Chun-Li.

"Oh my."

"It seems we made it here in perfect timing. Chris just contacted me. He's on his way now."

"Chun-Li's comm is activated. "Sonya?"

'Chun-Li, what's the situation?"

'Karin and I are inside the control room. Chris is on his way here now, E.T.A. 5 minutes."

"So are we. You're gonna need all the backup you can. We can handle Shadaloo security. Be there in 30."

"Thank you, Sonya. Chun-Li out."

"Reinforcements?" asked Karin.

"Yes. They're gonna take care of security."

"And Chris?"

"He'll meet us here."

"And now we have all six of them."

"Let's do this."

Chun-Li heads to the mainframe to get started, but a voice stopped her and Karin in her tracks.

"More intruders have broken into my very important control room." It's that GOD AWFUL F.A.N.G! "What are you doing here?"

"I'll take care of this," said Karin. "You must be exhausted after your trip."

"How dare you try to interrupt Operation C.H.A.I.N.S. that I dedicated to Lord Bison... I will not allow the both of you to leave here alive!" Karin, baby girl, this is CW2K. Please kick his ass!

"No problem."

Karin fights F.A.N.G. He is a dangerous man, but to me, he'd be better off in some wizard movie than in a fighting game. Karin proved once again that her style is tailored to handle any adversary and defeats him. F.A.N.G tried to get up, but gets hit in the back of the head with a buttstock of a SCAR-H rifle courtesy of Chris.

"Right on time, Chris," Karin said. "Nice rifle."

"Thank. It's a Special Operations Forces Combat Rifle, or SCAR for short. Anyway, what's happening?"

"Chris, we have all the pieces, " Chun-Li said. "Since you saved the world a few months ago, I figure I give you this honor."

"Besides, Chris, I told you before that you could very well save the world," Karin said. "Just put the pieces in this machine and we'll take care of the rest."

"Affirmative."

Chris put his rifle down and inserted the pieces into the machine.

"This is it."

He then gets on the keyboard and a light scans the pieces. On the screen above the terminal, one of the Back Moons is displayed, along with several other types of info and schematics n Operation C.H.A.I.N.S., while a PSA meter on the upper left corner starts filling. Chun-Li stepped back, hoping this new W.M.D. will be stopped. A little while later, Tanya, Samus and Jade arrived. A error message pops up on screen, indicating that the operation was aborted.

"It stopped," Tanya said.

"Oh, man. I guess my data entry skills paid off," said Chris.

"Well done, Chris," said Karin.

F.A.N.G got up, clearly annoyed. He spreads the purple on the group, but Jade manages to shield them with her pole. She spun it fast enough.

"WOW!" Karin was impressed. Jade was juggling her pole while giving her a wink. ;) Suddenly, the floor in the center of the room opens up. There is a intense heat release as light pours out from the reactor beneath.

"Then this is..."

"Their main headquarters."

The man behind them is Abel, dressed like a Shadaloo shock trooper, but wearing his black belt and shin guard and is barefoot.

"Abel, you're the one working undercover? I see.

"He nodded to reassure them. Suddenly, a series of scrolling command line were popping up on the terminal's monitor.

"Someone is trying to hack the control room," said Abel as more windows pop up.
