Mother Talzin, leader of the Nightsisters, veils Su Wu and her fellow assassins in a cloak of invisibility, and they infiltrate Dark Empire castle.

## Synopsis

Su Wu leads a sky battle against kung fu forces commanded by master Daniel, Sonic and Tai Lung in the Sullust area. Su Wu and her sisters Wing Wu and Wan Wu singles out Daniel and attacks him, damaging his fighter, whereupon she is in turn disabled by Sonic. Both combatants crash in the hangar of the Arkeyan flagship.

Meanwhile, however, a conspiracy is brooding against the Wu Sisters' life. The Unknown Enemy confers with Master Bear, expressing his concerns about the Wu Sisters' growing power, and orders his disciple to destroy them before she becomes too strong to handle, and Bear, under the will of his master, is reluctantly forced to obey. When the Wu Sisters calls him for assistance, he abandons her for them supposed failure. Shaken and infuriated, Su Wu viciously engages Tai Lung, Sonic and Daniel in kun fu combat. The confrontation is interrupted by Bear's order to have the flagship bombarded by the other Confederate ships to ensure their destruction; the combatants barely escape with their lives.

Wu Sisters  is left floating in the sky in her nearly destroyed fighter until them is recovered by a scavenging crew, who intend to ransom her to her employers. Instead, they are all killed by the Wu Sisters, who commandeers their vessel and proceeds to the location of her old order, the Nightsisters, where Clan Mother Talzin has her tended to. In her feverish dreams, Su Wu recalls how she was rescued from a slaver whom her mother sold her to and taken in by kung fu master Ky Narec as a child, her apprenticeship under him, his death and her descent into the dark Side, her being taken in by Bear and his betrayal. Upon awakening, she swears an oath of revenge against her former master; Mother Talzin puts two of her finest warriors, Naa'leth and Karis, to assist her and provides her with the means of approaching and combating Bear with the help of mystical invisibility potions and poisons.

The three Snow Leopards travel and penetrate Dark Empire castle, where they catch him asleep. His senses dulled by Su Wu' poison dart and the cloak of invisibility which surrounds his attackers, Bear is caught at a disadvantage but fights back furiously, thinking his assassins are kung fu masters since Mother Talzin has armed Su Wu' team with element weapons. Nearly beaten, Bear, who fakes being completely drained of energy, instead channels all of his rage, and, in one extremely powerful blast of the Dark Element, he evicts them from his palace and disrupts their invisibility. Mother Talzin is content, however. With this attempt on his life, she reckons that Bear will now be more anxious to get himself a new assassin and bodyguard to protect him. She contacts the Count and suggests a replacement—a male Lion warrior from her people—an offer Bear decides to accept.
