Love & War 6: Replicants
Chapter 25: Combo & Orchid
"You think you got what it takes to beat the champ? Come on!"
"Tyler-Johnson Garrett, better known as TJ Combo, resorted to illegal cybernetic implants to defend his world championship title. When discovered, he was dstripped of his title and his world crumbled. Determined to prove himself and regain glory, he tips outs his cybernetics and returns to the fray."
"One step closer to flushing out Ultratech."
"Paranoid, unstable, and disavowed from her agency, Orchid, sometimes called Black Orchid in tribute to her dark beauty, is determined to carry out her crusade against the dismantled organization, Ultratech. In war-torn Eastern Europe, she sets out to build an underground network that will prove Ultratech is still active."
A week later, Orchid, who was banished from her agency due to her instability and paranoia, formed a new group called The Disavowed. Her, TJ Combo, Jago, who happened to be her half-brother and Maya, the last remaining member of the secretive cabal of monster hunters called the Night Guard, were inside a hideout somewhere in Eastern Europe, discussing plans to eliminate Ultratech. Orchid was looking into her laptop. She found that Ultratech made the Killer Instinct tournament and there was a bidding war from Shadaloo, the Mishima Zaibatsu and Ultratech to claim Melody Jones, Commander of the Homefront Warriors. Recently, their security protocols werehacked by Sombra of Talon. She searched for the Talon website but no website associated with Talon exists, leaving her to wonder if the terrorist organization exists at all.
"They targeted this woman, but now, Talon has a war with them," said Orchid.
"Why her?," TJ asked.
"She possesses powers I cannot simply explain. She has a long list of allies, including her father, Chris Jones."
"I heard of this woman. She saved the world long ago." said Maya.
"I fought her and she is truly a powerful warrior," Jago added.
"If we are to rid the world of Ultratech, we need to find this woman and let her know of our cause here."
"Then let's find her," said TJ.
"We leave for Los Angeles in the morning."
