Shade was sent ot Earth by Ix to evaluate the planet's condition. Since the Twilight Cage was collapsing on itself the clans inside the Cage needed a new home. The Nocturnus clan decided on Earth.

Shade is not so sure about this plan but her loyalty lies with Ix and her people. This all changes, of course, when she meets the Freedom Fighters. She receives an order from Ix to eliminate those who stand in their way. Shade follows her orders and fights the Freedom Fighters, proving to be a formidable opponent.
