"Interesting," said Demon Blade, "Your world doesn't sound too different from ours." "Tell us about your Chief," said White Lotus, "How is he able to see between worlds and why does he have an interest here?" "Did your Chief seem to have any idea what he was sending you to protect us from," said Panda, "It would seem odd to send an adopted daughter to fight an unknown threat in another world."
"First, he did not send me of his will. I think he would have forbidden it from happening if her were alive when I left. He died two years ago, and I have taken the title of Chieftess. There is a magic pool that allows us to see between worlds, as well as we can travel between worlds using our necklaces. The pool is how he found me and took pity on me. Another pool sees into the future. It can allow one to see vaguely into the future, but the future is avoidable. A wise shaman saw that in the future a darkness would cover everything on this world and that I would have to stop it. I chose to leave everything I've ever known to come to a world that left me to die," Ara replied.
"I see," replied Demon Blade. "It looks like we've arrived everyone," said Panda as he landed the ship. The crew exited the vessel and looked around the interior of the base. It definitely wasn't as big as the base in Tokyo, but it would suffice temporarily. "Well I guess we'd better get comfortable," said Demon Blade as he sat on the couch, "We may be here a while."
Meanwhile...
Mecha Sentinel had arrived in Beijing and was in the President's office. He told the President everything he knew about what took place in Shanghai, which wasn't much. "I see," said the President, "This is very serious indeed." "I highly doubt the 'darkness' Ara was referring to has anything to do with Hydra," said Bolin, "But I think it's worth looking into as a secondary priority." "If Hydra is becoming bold enough to attack major cities then we need to eliminate them immediately," said the President, "I insist that the Defenders remain in China until the country is free of Hydra." "With all due respect Mr. President," Bolin replied, "Hydra is an almost century old, complex organization with who knows how many bases of operation scattered across the globe. There's no way of knowing how many Hydra agents are in China and, therefore, no way of being sure we've gotten rid of them all. The best we can do is try to find out what there purpose is here and try to suppress their activities. We'll stay and help you gain intel for the next few weeks but then we're headed back to Tokyo." "And what of the cave girl?" asked the President. "Well for some reason Hydra has an interest in her," said Bolin, "So I think it would be best if she came to Tokyo with us. Hey who knows, maybe all the Chinese Hydra agents will follow us to Japan."
