Chapter Text
- Raiden, you know we can't just storm into the palace. Kitana is our ally. And we really don't want another outworld invasion.
- But Miss Blade, they are holding some earthrealmers captive. We have to save them.
- Raiden, you're looked a bit worried. Why?
- It's not important.
- Raiden, why are you so worried.
- Well actually my daughter is held captive by the outworlders.
- Wait, so Raiden banged someone. Dude you surprise me every time.
Johnny said, his gaze not even getting off his phone. Sonya was obviously frustrated by this and scolded Johnny.
-JOHNNY PUT THE GODDAMNED PHONE DOWN!
- Sorry.
- Back to the topic at hand, when should we leave?
- Leave where?
Cassie Cage entered the room with a bunch of paperwork and chucked it at the table nearby. Sonya sighed and spoke softly to her daughter unlike how she talked to Johnny.
- Raiden's daughter is captured by Kitana. We are going to rescue her.
- Can I come?
- No.
- Come on. An extra set of hands. What if they ambush you?
- They wont. We have an alliance.
- If you guys have and alliance then why did she capture the humans?
- I don't know.
- Come on. Pretty please?
- Fine. You can come.
Cassie laughed and Johnny came forward and ruffled her hair. She slapped his hand away and tried to smooth her hair. They all joined hands and were swiftly teleported to Kitana's Palace.
.........................................
After they were teleported to Kitana's Palace they all obviously bowed except for Raiden. He was a god. Kitana also gave a slight bow of head. After a few moments of silence, Sonya spoke.
- Hi Kitana. So..... we heard that you had a few human prisoners.
- You heard correct.
- Why.
- Because one of them stole a very precious artifact and we would like that back.
- Maybe we can ask them.
- Sure try.
Kitana clapped twice and a number of kids came, slowly walking, with chains around their neck. The worst part was that they all were girls. Teenage girls. They stood in a line looking at the ground without saying anything. Sonya slowly walked upto them as to not startle them. She spoke,
- Look kiddos, you can give us they artifact and go home. No fuss no nothing.
No response.
- You know we mean you no harm okay. Just give them the artifact. Please.
NO FUCKING RESPONSE. Sonya was starting to lose her temper and Kitana sensed that. She raised her hand and signaled the soldiers to execute them. Erron Black took the first shot and blew a girls brains out. A few of them screamed, even. Cassie ran and tried to shoot Erron. He easily dodged and they started shooting each other. Sonya was in shock a few seconds but regained her composure fast and started ducking the bullets firing every where. Surprisingly one girl was easily handling her own by dodging bullets and knocking people back. That must be Raiden's daughter. The palace erupted into madness as Erron and Cassie were fighting. The girls face was hidden by the cape she was wearing but she was no slouch. She was about to run away when Erron and Cassie both grabbed her cape when all three of them disappeared. Sonya's heart stopped. Raiden quickly grabbed both Johnny and Sonya and teleported back in the headquarters. Now the question was, Where is Cassie?
.................................................
Cassie fell down on the ground and smelled soil. Soil? Wasn't she just in the palace? She slowly raised her head and saw the girl on the ground as well. The girl slowly stood up and tried to run but Erron Black caught her and tackled her to the ground. She struggled for a while but was somehow shoved right off her. She quickly got up tried to run. Cassie started to give chase. She ran down the mountain they had teleported to and managed to slip and both of them tumbled down the mountain until they came to a stop at a small clearing. They both suffered during the tumble. The girl then spoke between the coughs,
- Please, I don't want any trouble. Just let me go. Please.
- Why? Why does that artifact matter to you so much?
- You don't understand. That artifact is too powerful to be in possession of anybody. My mom paid the price for it. I am not letting anybody fall trap for it again.
- What does the artifact do?
Slowly getting up, the girl lent a hand to Cassie and said,
- I'll tell you just please help me to destroy this thing.
- What does it do?
She was about explain when Erron Black came forward and started to taunt both of them,
- Well this looks like it's about to start a threesome. When were you gonna invite me, sugar?
Cassie took out her guns and pointed them at Erron but the girl gestured her to calm down.
- Mr. Black-
- Erron.
- Erron, I know you serve those people who give the most money, so I have preposition, I'll give you something in return you give us your services.
- Wait what?!
Cassie stared at the girl, dumbfounded. Wasn't Erron trying to kill her right now?
-Depends, sugar. What you offering?
Taking out her necklace which was surprisingly pretty.It was made out of emerald and was shaped like a bird. Erron's eyes widened after seeing the necklace. Was it something special?
- The Emerald Phoenix. Where did you get the necklace?
- Do you want the necklace or not?
Emerald Phoenix? What the heck was that?
- Sugar, I'm sold.
He said as he strolled over to the girl. He was about to take the necklace but the girl moved it out of reach.
- Only after we do the job.
Erron thought for a second and said,
- It's a deal.
She put on the necklace and said,
- Hi, I am Silina...
