Sonya Blade
It had taken a long while, but thanks to their efforts, the 'joint allies' were able to get a hold on a possibility of the location of the Red Dragon clan. It was only a lead, but it was something, and a lot more than they had prior.
At the moment, it was this bit of information that Sonya had on mind even as Sub-Zero called her to his office. As head of his clan, even though the OIA weren't Lin Kuei-he still took it upon himself to know their business, in this case, it wasn't necessarily 'army business', but it did concern her. On his desk were two letters addressed to her, and when he gave them to her, Sonya didn't know whether to feel embarrassed or pleased.
The first letter was actually a copy of an email from her father, dated just yesterday. The Lin Kuei had a telephone system, but it was only 'one way', and so email and letters were the only 'real' ways for the army to contact its soldiers, so while the email may've been sent the previous day, being forwarded to the HQ would've taken a little longer. In the email, he wrote that her mother had passed on that same day from a stroke and that the funeral would take place a few days from the date it was arrived.
Sonya felt herself go numb, even as she read the second letter. Of course the army would've read his email before her, such privacy didn't exist in the military. Having read the email from ret. Major Blade, the army went one step further and granted her a three week furlough, in honor of all the hard work she'd put into the department even with the destruction of their headquarters. The end of the letter revealed that it was Jax who suggested it. The guy seemed to know more about her workaholic tendencies than she did. But still, she and her mother were never that close, not since her brother was killed over a decade ago, but it would've been rude to her father if she didn't attend the funeral. Her father had been through a lot, between the army and living with mother even as she gave into her demons.
She thanked the ice master before turning and heading out of his office.
It had to be said that any sort of psycologist would have a field day if they could spend even one session with Lt. Col. Sonya Blade, ten years in the army and it seemed that the only time she ever really felt 'alive' was when she was on the chase of a wanted criminal.
Or criminals as the case would be.
There was also something to be said for 'enemy of an enemy being a friend.' Since the destruction of the Outerworld Investigation Agency HQ from the Red Dragon (could these clans be that uncreative with names?), her ally and friend (possibly more) Sub Zero was more than willing to lend them the use of the Lin Kuei headquarters to track them down. Such generousity would've been unheard of even from him, but then again, the clan was also an enemy of the Red Dragon, so such an alliance was mutually beneficial.
Currently, she was at the main computer for the headquaters, looking up on as much information as she could, anything to get those guys and take them out. She was past the goal of 'arresting criminals', the fact remained that these members were traitors to Earthrealm and nothing less than death-preferably helped by her own hand-would suffice.
She wasn't sure what felt felt more: alive, or fearful for herself.

...off the record, I'm just going to voice out shock that computers and such still work after Earth Realm's been conquered. Though it would figure, Shang always had a knack for modern electronics.
Suppose introductions are in order. *takes a deep breath*
I'm Sonya Blade, Queen and wife to Lord Shang Tsung of the Provence of Earth in Realm of Outworld..or just Blade, less of a mouthful and just as respectful.
For those that remember, yes I was on the side of Light. My friends and I were fighting against the Shao Kahn and his army. The numbers themselves were overwhelming and it took everything in me to not give in.
I was killed anyway. No final farewell speech, no dramatics, nothing. Just a spear right through the chest. The only consolation was that I blacked out in less then a minute, so while the wound hurt like a bitch, I didn't have to put up with it for long.
It seemed however that I couldn't even die in peace. The next I remember is being on a hard surface, covered in a blanket and screaming my lungs out, gasping for air. When my vision cleared, I saw Shang Tsung looking down at me. Kahn was no where insight, and it didn't take a genius to realize that, of course, Tsung would've offed Kahn as soon as he had an opening. We were told that he had been granted more power than ever, but until my resurrection, I never fully grasped just how much.
I now see why babies cry right after birth, it's just as painful as dying. When it happens, you're freezing your ass off to the core, it hurts like hell to move anything and when you can move your limbs are shaky and there are the massive headaches.
He told me what happened while I was recovering. We lost, Shao Kahn had won and at the moment of victory, Shang turned on his 'master' before Kahn could decide that he had no further use of him. I should probably be more emotional over this, but crying at a time like this is a waste of precious energy.
Shang Tsung is now Emperor of both Outworld and Earthrealm, having taken power as soon as he had stolen Kahn's own soul.
Let it be known that the only reason I accepted his proposal is so I at least get some say over what happens to my people. That was the bargain he made: he would restore Earthrealm and its inhabitants ( save the other chosen warriors)as his subjects in exchange for me agreeing to marry him.
I've no illusions about this marriage, Shang Tsung is dangerous and not to be taken lightly. For the moment, my only goal is to continue watching over my people, everything else I'll just play by ear.
Sincerely,
Sonya Blade
Current mood:
determined.
