New villains
At some building in Station Square, A unseen figure shadowed by the dark was writing down some papers at her desk when suddenly the phone bleeped. The unseen figure was now shown, she was a chipmunk and was dressed in a grey business suit and red shirt, her right pinky finger being replaced by a clawed prosthetic. She picks up the phone to answer it.
"Konnichiwa. Leiko here" The chipmunk, named Leiko answered. A sinister female voice could be heard on the other side of the line
"Konnichiwa. Leiko Satsuma, I presume?" The mysterious person speaks through the phone.
"Hai, Who is it?" Leiko asked with a japanese accent.
"The name is Kurai Hana," the caller introduces herself, "I've heard about your exploits in Japan as the leader of the Yakuza Mob and I have proposition for you."
"Then what is it?" Leiko asked while looking at a picture of her daughter Miho.
"It'll be a little risky to tell you over the line but I will tell you this," Kurai answers, with a slight shift of seriousness in the tone of her voice. "If you choose to be in on this, Station Square won't what'll hit em. Interested? Then come to the abandoned town on the south side of the city and come alone."
The mysterious female then started to let out a menacing chuckle.
"And don't even think about telling anyone else about this call. We know where you're calling from right now and we won't hesitate to silence you by force if we must."
With that, the caller abruptly hangs up without getting Leiko a chance to respond. All that could be heard now is the disconnected dial tone.
"Oh dear" Leiko said but then thinks.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned ghost town that stood a few miles away from Station Square, the bringer of the message to Leiko was standing right outside an deserted hotel building at edge of the area. Kurai, who just happened to get off of a black cellphone, was actually a grew fox with long black hair, wearing a grey tank top, black shorts and black flip flops. Her blue eyes gleamed with a sinister gaze as she gazes straight ahead at an open path, casually slipping her cell phone into her pocket.
"Now... We wait," the fox says to herself quitely.
As the mysterious fox stands under the night sky, two more foxes, dressed in black ninja garbs with white bandages covering their bare paws, approach her and bow in respect.
"Master Kurai, everyone has been briefed on the current situation," One of the foxes spoke quietly.
Without turning around, Kurai smirks and responds to them, "Hmph, good. Make sure everyone's ready to give our guest a proper welcome."
"Hai," Both of the foxes acknowledge at once before walking back into the hotel.
Leiko got into her car and drives all the way to the ghost town to find the location of Kurai. On the seat next to her were a briefcase
As she approaches the abandoned area, a large hotel building could be visible as the dominated structure of the town. Kurai would be there, awaiting the Yakuza Mob leader's arrival. However, the atmosphere grew more tense as she got closer. Leiko definitely wasn't alone...
The ninjas surrounded her and she placed the briefcase down.
"Kurai, What a 'wonderful' introduction" Leiko said sarcastically. She then heads to the entrance.
"Come out, I got money" Leiko said.
Through the crowd of the fox ninjas, an amused chuckled could be heard as someone began to approach them. The few that where directly in front of Leiko began to step aside, clearing a path for none other than Kurai herself who calmly walks towards her with a smirk on her face. Unlike the rest of the fox ninjas who were dressed in black garbs with same-colored scarves covering their muzzles, Kurai remained her her tank top and shorts, making her stand out from the rest of the crowd. Judging by however everyone was remaining quiet and attentive to her presence, she was definitely the one in charge.
"Glad you could make it, Satsuma," Kurai spoke, locking her gaze onto opposing squirrel. "Took ya long enough."
"I came as soon as I can. And here's the 1 200 000 dollars if you tell me what proposition you have for me" Leiko handed her the briefcase.
Kurai merely laughs and shakes her head, not accepting the briefcase filled with the large amount of money.
"Money's not going to be necessary," she rejects as she looks Leiko straight in the eyes.
"What we really need is your skill. But, we're going to have to test you to make sure you're worthy for what we have planned."
With that, Kurai turns her head to the read, looking straight towards one of the fox ninjas in the circle and motions towards Leiko with a nod of her head. Reading the signal loud and clear, the ninja leaps from her spot, flipping in the air before landing in front of Leiko in a crouched position, glaring at her with a menacing gaze. After a few seconds, the ninja charges at Leiko without warning and tries to swing a kick her stomach. It seems that the mob leader had just walked right into a battle test.
Leiko then simply punches her hard and then kicks her away. She then removes her coat to face Kurai in combat.
As the attacking fox gets cast aside, Kurai begins to appear slightly impressed. The japanese chipmunk then stands in a battle stance.
"Huh... I guess I should expect nothing less from the leader of the Yakuza Mob," Kurai observes but then her expression starts to turn more serious. "I guess I should be the one to test you."
The head fox casually slips out of her black flip flops, leaving herself barepawed against the concrete ground, then quickly charges forward towards Leiko. Unlike the ninja fox pawn before her, Kurai's movement were much faster as she tries to hit her opponent with two punches to her stomach and face. Leiko did her best to counter but fails when Kurai managed to hit her. The Kurai then tries to knock her down with a spinning back kick to her stomach, but then Leiko grabs her foot and she threw her over to then pin her down.
Kurai eyes widen slightly once her foot was captured, surprised of how her opponent was able to recover from her last attack so fast. However, as she was slung off of her feet by the skilled chipmunk, Kurai quickly bends her body back so that could land on her hands, giving her the opportunity to slip her foot free of Leiko's grasp with a quick tug and handspring back to her feet. The fox looks at Leiko for a moment then smirks in an content matter.
"Hmph, not bad. I think you'll do just nicely," Kurai delivers her verdict. It seemed as if Leiko met her expectations and was not about to be briefed about the proposition that was mentioned earlier. "Alright, listen carefully. We of the Ebony Rogues clan seek to make to the people of Mobius suffer. We're planning to launch a full-on attack on Station Square and capture the area under our influence. After taking their area by force, we'll show those weaklings what it means to truly live in fear and pain. A long-distance unit in Japan reported to us about you and the Yakuza Mob and we figured the extra members and your fighting skills would prove useful to our cause. Plus, you know the area a little better than we do so that's a bonus."
Kurai then approaches Leiko with a devious grin on her face as puts her hands on her hips.
"Of course you won't be working without reward. Join us in taking over Station Square and you'll control the city along with us at your pleasure. We won't just stop with one area anyway. Us Ebony Rogues won't stop until all of the world suffers by our fists. And you'll be raking in the profits with us. So... What do you say? You in?"
"That's a deal then. Now also we need to get my daughter Miho back. She held the Japanese prime minister hostage once" Leiko said.
"Sounds like she could be useful as well," Kurai responds with a slight nod. "Very well, we shall look for your daughter as well."
Kurai then holds out a hand for a handshake between the two to seal the deal.
"We'll accomplish both goals in one run. ...Partner." Kurai said, Leiko then grins and shakes hands with her.
"Yes, partners for now. Plus it might be more of a challenge now that Crimson has the Destructix under his command" Leiko said.
As for Sonic and his pals, he was practicing with Rosie, one of his fans.
Rosie had heard about the upcoming danger with Crimson and the Antis from Cyo so she wanted to help him get ready for another confrontation with her favorite method of training: a sparring match. As the blue blur prepared himself to face the sakura echidna, she dashes at him with a high-speed onslaught of kicks, making use of her Taekwondo training in this friendly fight.
"Whoa wow!" Sonic blocks some of them until one kick sent him down.
"Nice move Rosie. Show me some more of your moves" Sonic said with a excited grin.
"Hai Sonic!" Rosie acknowledges eagerly before coming at him again with a spinning elbow strike to his stomach then quickly bringing her right leg up for a side kick aimed at the same area before abruptly shooting it upwards for a high side kick to his chin. The warrior echidna was not about to hold anything back against her idol for she wanted to keep trying to push his combat ability so he'll fare better against the evil Crimson.
"Very good, Now keep moving!" Sonic thumbs up.
Rosie snaps back to her fighting stance with a wide smile on her face, happy that Sonic was impressed by her skill. Sonic flips back after her kick to his chin and he blocks her next strike, then he began doing the crane move.
Rosie barely had enough time to defend herself and crosses her arms to nullify some of the damage from Sonic's crane kick, causing her to get pushed back slightly as her bare paws skid against the grass of the field they were fighting on. Having a blast with the match, Rosie laughs a bit before she gets back to her stance.
"Wow! That was a strong kick Sonic!" Rosie compliments her hero with glee. "I think our training session is really bringing out the power of your strikes!".
"Thank you so much Rosie. I am glad that your martial art training is warming us up when it comes to preparing us to fighting a psycho echidna and his team" Sonic said. He cracks his neck a bit.
"Ha, I'm glad I could help!" Rosie responds happily. "There's no way I would miss a chance to help you guys practice! Plus, I love sparring with my friends!"
"I can see that Rosie. You are becoming a greater fighter every time" Sonic thumbs up to her.
Rosie doesn't hesitating to bring her right fist against her left palm, forming a shaolin salute towards Sonic in equal respect. Ever since she pitched in to help out the team with training, she enjoyed helping Cyo improve his combat skills and she really loved her sparring matches with Nebula due to their near-equal martial arts skill. However, at the end of the day, nothing made her day more than helping her idol blue hedgehog succeed and get stronger. Realizing that the two have been at their workout for a good several minutes now, Rosie wipes a bit of sweat from her forehead before relaxing her body.
"Phew... Why don't we take a quick rest?" Rosie suggests. "We've been fighting for a while now" Rosie said.
"Sure thing. We'll later see Nebula practice with Cyo" Sonic said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"Okay!" Rosie says before stepping off the battleground, towards were her green sneakers laid next to a blue duffel bag, which she brought with her when she visit her friends for training today. She sits down next to her possessions and reaches into her bag to pull out a cold bottle of water then takes opens it up to take a big drink of the refreshing liquid, re-hydrating her body. "Ahh... I'm sure glad I brought plenty of water for the workout"
She looked over to see Cyo preparing himself for training in armor.
Rosie had remembered Cyo mentioning that he was working on a new suit of armor with Tails so she was a little eager to see what her lion friend could do with his asset. Near him stood Nebula.
"Oh hey! Looks like Cyo got his new armor done!" Rosie points out, watching him prepare as she splashes her face with some of the contents of the her water bottle.
