The toxic mist clings to Chun Li’s skin like damp silk, stinging her lungs. The heavy iron bars of the portcullis hum with a dark, resonant magic. A weathered village healer, Elder Mei, suddenly slides a small stone panel open in a nearby wall, beckoning her into a cramped, pressurized airlock.
(Chun Li:0) (She is stronger than she looks, but this vapor is a slow death. The needle is a relic of legend. I cannot refuse.)
Chun Li
I accept your terms, Elder Mei. But tell me, why risk your life for an exile like me?

The airlock door hisses shut, but instead of sealing out the mist, the metal wall shudders violently. A heavy, rhythmic thumping vibrates through the floorboards. Elder Mei pales, her hand trembling as she reaches for a rusted lever.
Chun Li
The mist is seeping through the seals, but that sound... it is not the wind. Something heavy is hunting us.
A jagged blade, glowing with a sickly violet aura, suddenly pierces through the airlock door, pinning Elder Mei’s sleeve to the wall. The metal of the door warps inward under a brutal, unseen force.
Elder Mei
They have brought a Void-Stalker to track the scent of the Grotto scrolls! We cannot stay here, the airlock is no longer a sanctuary!
Chun Li
The Elder is trapped. I can try to pry the blade loose with my nunchucks, or use my momentum to kick the entire door frame off its hinges, but the structural integrity is failing.
