Jing King was at the front of the room, addressing everyone who was there. "Well, with Shadow's powers, and once we have the ninja clans on our side, I doubt the Iron Queen will be able to stop us," she said.

"What about what Espio said, what if we only get half the clans, or less?" One resistance member asked her.

Jing King pointed to her crown. "My mother once told me that any resident of the Dragon Kingdom who sees this crown will be compelled to follow, as it is the symbol of the true royal family," she stated.

"Isn't that slavery?" Shadow asked, starting several mutters.

[KingKovu44]

Jing King shook her head. "No, because I don't expect them to work for me afterward, just to help me defeat the Iron Queen and avenge my parents," she said.

"Well how does it compel them, Magic?" He asked.

[KingKovu44]

Jing King sighed. "You'll see soon enough. Most of the ninja clans were friendly with my family until the Iron...no, Jun Kun, took over," she said.

[Sixshot1988]

"Jun-Kun?" Shadow asked, cocking his head to the side.

[KingKovu44]

Shang stepped in. "Jun Kun was the Iron King's true name," he explained.

"OK, but where did the Iron Queen come from?" Knuckles asked, afraid of the answer.
