Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 43: Careless

Back at the Shadaloo base, all the windows closed and the computer returns to the Black Moons' status reports. The timer for Descent Program pops up, showing a 24-hour countdown.

"What the hell...? asked Chris. "AW, SHIT!"

'What's wrong...?" Before Jade could finish her question, she sees the countdown.

"Descent Program..."

"What is the Decent Program?" Tanya asked.

"They were hiding this as a backup plan," Abel replied.

"Each Moon will directly impact on their city. This is not good," Karin said.

"I need to contact Sonya." Chris uses his comm.

"Chris, report," said Sonya.

"I'm gonna download a photo to your phone. Hold up."

Chris takes a picture of the countdown and downloads it. Sonya couldn't believe it.

"I thought the Moons were deactivated."

"I know, but someone hacked the control room and Descent Program came up. Within 24 hours, the Moons will drop in certain cities around the world, including Beijing, Tokyo, Calcutta, Moscow and London. New York has already fallen and Rio was next."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know. I can't deactivate them again."

"It can't be..." Chun-Li whispered. She was on looking down at the underground control room at the edge of the catwalk. What she saw stunned her.

"Hang on, Sonya. What is it?"

She points to F.A.N.G., threatening the little Chinese girl. Chris sees Abel.

"Dude, are you all right? What the hell is that?!"

"Is this... Psycho Power?"

"Psycho Power?"

Chun-Li tried to help Abel, but he said, "Stay away... from... me..."

Abel lets loose a burst of purple energy around him.
