"Right. OK. Off you go girls. Good luck! And remember- do whatever it is you have to do in order to save Ki!" Haruka whispered as the girls rounded the corner and headed straight towards the Westin. (Of course, no one else knew where the girls were headed exactly- they couldn't see them!)

In front of the main door, the girls held hands and took a deep breath. "Ok- let's go!" Andi whispered as the followed a group of American Businessman into the main lobby. They were in!

Inside the Westin, Su, Andi, Motoko, and Naru carefully snuck through the lobby, avoiding bumping into the other visitors. Even though they were invisible, Andi knew it was imperative to keep quite and focused, least they be found out. Su had explained earlier that though the suits were strong, any little tear in the fabric could cause the suit to malfunction, so they would have to be careful not to fall or get the suit caught on something and have it rip.

Just as these thoughts were running through Andi's head, she felt a body come crashing into her from behind. She let out a gasp and turned to see that a hotel patron had tripped on a lose end of carpet and tried to grab the nearby stairway railing in the lobby for support. He hit Andi in her invisible suit instead. "What the---" the man said aloud, face turning white. "It's a! It's a- a GHOST!" he cried as he got up off his feet and ran out the door.

Other people in the lobby turned to look and Motoko, Andi, Su and Naru froze in place. Within a few seconds, the people turned away, shaking their heads, going back to their usual business. Andi let out a sigh of relief and continued up the staircase to the second floor, the girls trailing behind.

After what felt like hours in the small tunnels of duct work, Riku finally found an opening. He pushed his way out of another vent in the wall and when he got out, he stretched, looking around a beautiful bathroom, with a gold jacuzzi and marble walk-in shower. "Wow." Riku whispered. "This is definitely the place." Before he had a chance to put the vent back in it's spot, he heard footsteps outside the bathroom door. Riku quickly ran into the towel closet.

"Listen, I need to use the bathroom." a low voice growled. "Damn burritos." the voice said, as the door opened. In walked a man of enormous height- AND weight! He took his seat on the toilet and began to do his business.

'Oh no! Not on my watch!' Riku thought. He looked down at his feet in the closet and found a cleaning mop against the closet wall. 'Right.' Riku prepared himself, just as the fat man flushed the toilet.

"Damn it!" The fat guy said as he watched the toilet become clogged. He walked over to where Riku was ready in the closet and mumbled, "Where the hell do they keep the damn plunger in this place anyway?" He pulled the door open and Riku cracked him over the head. Down he went, and down went Riku from the smell in the room.

"Damn burritos is right! Disgusting!" Riku whispered. He knew he had to get out of there- fast!

Finally, the girls had managed to reach the top floor suites, by following a big, thuggish-looking man with tattoos everywhere. They walked closely behind the man and when he opened the door surrounded by guards, they jumped in the room a head of him.

The girls were amazed at what they saw! The living room where Scar and his crew sat was a huge room, surrounded on all sides by long glass windows that gave such a beautiful view to Tokyo Bay below. The room had fancy furniture and marble statues in every corner. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling was magnificent! So beautiful, in fact, that Naru, couldn't keep her eyes off of it and walked right into a statue next to the door, sending it sailing to the floor.

CRASH! The statue broke into pieces and Naru let out a loud gasp- quickly covering her mouth when she realized what she had done.

"Who's there!?!" Scar demanded- pulling his gun from his waist and aiming at the doorway where the statue fell. Andi closed her eyes- knowing what would come next. "I said who's there damn it!" Scar didn't wait for a reply. He quickly fired his gun and shot Naru- right on the shoulder.

Inside the stinky bathroom, Riku was turning green, just as he heard a loud crash and then a voice that sounded an awful lot like Naru's. He opened the bathroom door a crack and looked out. He saw that everyone was in the living room, so he made his way down the hall a bit, careful not to be seen. Just as he reached the end of the hallway, the area leading into the living room, he heard a shot go off and saw Naru's body appear out of no where. "Oh fuck!" Riku said, knowing he was in for it.

"What the---???" Scar said- confused as Naru suddenly appeared, hovering over the broken statue- with her hand over her shoulder.

"You shot me!" Naru snapped. "You shot me you jerk!" Naru looked over at her shoulder and realized the bullet actually had only scrapped the surface, puncturing the invisible suit.

"Boys! Am I seeing things or did this nasty bitch just appear out of no where?" Scar smirked.

"Yeah Boss. She just appeared out of no where." One of the goons replied.

"I just said that you idiot! Now- what should we do with this squeaky little mouse?" Scar said in a deep, threatening voice. He walked over to Naru and touched her cheek. "Such a pretty little mouse… it's a shame…" his voice trailed off.

SMACK! Andi ran up to Scar and decked him right in the face.

"Holy Shit!" Scar recoiled and put a hand to his own face. "Where the hell did that come from.

"Over here asshole!" Motoko shouted as she dodged from the side wall over to where Naru stood.

"That's right bitches!" Su laughed as she also bounced in and out of the men and Scar, standing in a state of total shock.

"What the hell is going on here?!?" Scar shouted.

"I'll tell you! But first, let her go!" Riku appeared and stood before Scar.

"I should have known you were involved in all this hijinks Riku!" Scar growled.

"Let me have em." A voice called from behind. Riku turned to see Lee charging forward. He took stance and felt Motoko, Andi and Su at his side.

"We're here Ki." Andi whispered.

"I know." He replied. Lee approached and Riku dodged the first attack of a punch to the face. Riku blocked Lee's fist with his right arm and used his left arm to snap Lee's elbow back. Lee let out a growl and crouched, holding his arm in pain.

Su began to jump all over Lee- kicking him and biting him in the ears, neck and face. "Help me! Help me! Get this monster off me!" Lee shouted. Scar laughed, seeming to enjoy what was unfolding before him.

Motoko ran over to free Naru while the thugs and Scar were distracted by the fight and they ran out to the gang outside the Westin. Meanwhile, Andi and Su got to work- taking out Scar's men, one by one, still using the invisibility to their advantage, while Riku finished off Lee, once and for all.

Lee jumped up and kicked Riku's legs from out under him. Riku landed on his back and Lee jumped on top of him. With his left arm, the only good arm left, Lee tried to punch Riku in the face again, only this time, Riku kneed Lee in the balls and threw him to the side. Then Riku jumped on Lee and using both fists, pounded Lee in the head, from side to side for a good solid 20 seconds until Scar shouted, "ENOUGH!" It didn't matter. Lee was dead.

Scar approached Riku, as he was standing over Lee's bloody body. The room had cleared out. Other than the thugs that were knocked unconscious by the girls, Scar and Riku were alone. "Well, it looks like it's come full-circle, now, hasn't it John?" Scar sneered.

"I should have killed you when I had the chance years ago down by the dock, Scar." Riku said, narrowing his eyes.

"Ah! But you didn't, right John?" Scar laughed, a mocking laugh. It shook Riku to the core. He could feel his blood bubbling as he looked at Scar.

"My name is Riku…" he said.

"No it's not! That's just some name you came up with once you found your way to Japan!" he laughed. "Why did you leave for Japan anyway John? Was it because you were a coward? Because you tried to escape from all the bad memories you had in America? Well, you might have escaped alright, John. But I found you. I found you and I am going to kill you and end your miserable, pitiful life right now." Scar smiled and before Riku knew what was happening, Scar lunged at him- grabbing him around the throat.

Scar had both hands around Riku's neck but Riku acted quickly. He used his arms and wedged them between Scar's, forcefully pushing them apart and freeing himself from Scar's hold. Then Riku punched Scar right in the stomach, sending him staggering backwards. Riku jumped over the sofa and into the center of the room, where he could regain his stance.

Scar recovered from the blow, and came quickly at Riku, punching his fists into Riku's chest and face, then shooting a swift kick to Riku's shin, trying to knock him off balance. But Riku was faster. He jumped up and did a back flip in the air- avoiding the second set of attempts to knock Riku down. "You just won't die will you John?!?" Scar stammered under his breath.

Now they were standing in front of each other again, only Riku's back was up against the wall and he didn't have much space. "Hahaha, you're cornered my friend…" Scar laughed as he came towards him.

"I'm not your friend asshole!" Riku yelled as he took two steps forward and slide down on his side, kicking Scar's legs out from under him. Riku was now behind Scar facing the wall. When Scar got up, Riku jumped on his back and pushed him down again, punching him in the back of his neck and shoulders. Scar used all his might and kicked Riku in the back with his heel, throwing Riku to the side. Scar stood up, visibility tired, but still ready for action. Riku took a breath and the two began boxing and sparring as they went in circles around the room.

"We have to go back!" Andi explained. "And we all have to go! Su and I took care of the thugs, but Ki needs our help with Scar! He's too powerful! I've seen what he can do…" Andi looked at everyone standing below the Westin.

"How do we get in?" Keitaro asked.

"Easy! Through the front door!" Naru punched Keitaro in the side of the head.

"Naru! Save your punches for Scar! Now- let's go!" Andi said as she turned towards the front door.

"Let's do it!" agreed Haitani, Shirai, Shinobu, Haruka, Seta, Kitsune, Su, Motoko, Naru and last but not least Keitaro.

When they approached the front, a door man said, "Can I help all of you?" eyeing them suspiciously.

"No." was all Andi replied as they all rushed into the lobby.

"Hey! Wait! Where are you going?!?" the door man was not answered, so he ran to the front desk and called for back up.

Back in the suite, Scar had pushed Riku up against the wall again, but Riku wasn't having it. Scar threw out a straight punch to Riku's face, but Riku ducked just in time, and Scar's fist went right into the sheetrock. As Riku was coming up, he uppercuted Scar right in the chin. Scar was thrown his backwards and into a side table and lamp, which shattered with the weight of his body.

Scar stayed down in the pile of broken furniture for a few seconds, while Riku surveyed the room. He noticed it had cleared out and the thugs that were knocked unconscious, must have escaped out the side door. Just as he was prepared to walk over to Scar and finish him off, he saw Shinobu's face out of the corner of his eye. He turned as she walked in through the doorway and felt a hard smack to his face.

"KI!" Shinobu cried. Scar was upon Riku and knocked him down again.

"Well, well. We have an audience now…" Scar sneered as the rest of the group walked into the room.

"Let him go Scar!" Andi shouted.

"Oh! Look who it is… the lovely Miss Andi." Scar laughed, eyes narrowing. "I'd love to let him go Andi, if you'd be willing to take his place."

"Too late!" Riku jumped up and round-house kicked Scar right in the face. Scar went flying over towards the windows. Riku had broken his nose, which now was gushing blood. Riku walked over towards the windows over-looking the Bay and stood near Scar.

"I can't look…" Kitsune cried and fainted.

"That's it!" Scar stammered. He grabbed his gun from inside his waist holster and pointed it at Riku. "If I can't kill you man to man, I'll shoot you right here. Right now! Once and for all- I'm going to end this!" Scar screamed as blood poured over his lips.

"Noooo!" Shinobu screamed and he narrowed the gun right at Riku's chest. He turned towards Shinobu and the rest of the gang and then pointed the gun at them.

"Shut up! Shut up!" It was clear to Riku that Scar had reached the breaking point and something had to be done for he shot Riku or his friends. "Shut up all of you!" He stammered.

Riku knew what he had to do. He took a deep breath- looked over at Shinobu and saw deep into her eyes. It was time. Scar was pointing the gun back and forth at Riku and the gang. Scar looked back at Riku and knew he had to shoot him first.

The gun came back to face Riku. Scar had his finger tightening on the trigger and the barrel was pointed right at Riku's face now. Riku quickly used his right hand to force the gun up and away from it's aim. The gun went off in the direction of the windows, shattering glass with a loud BANGGG!!!

Riku knew it was time to end this. He used all his might and knocked Scar off-balance, pushing him out over the windows, teetering out over the building. Scar put up a fight and struggled to regain footing, but it was too late. Gravity pulled and Scar started to slip out over the edge. Riku thought he had done it when he pushed one last time, hoping Scar would fall.

But Scar reached with whatever strength was left and pulled Riku by the arms out through the window with him.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shinobu screamed and ran toward the windows as Scar and Riku fell from the building, dropping at incredible speed. They fought all the way down, punching and kicking, all while holding on to each other. They plummeted fifty stories straight into the rocky bottom of Tokyo Bay. "KIIIIIII!!!" Shinobu cried. One tear left her cheek and it dropped down, falling after Riku.

Everyone walked over to the windows next to Shinobu, in a state of shock. Just then, the cops showed up- with the door man behind them and one officer screamed, "What the hell happened in here?"

Outside the Westin, as the police were finishing the arrests of all of Scar's men and wrapping up the investigation, a stretcher carrying Lee's bloody body was wheeled right past Shinobu and the gang. "Oh! It's Lee!" Shinobu turned her face into the arms of Keitaro.

"Shinobu. He's dead." Keitaro stroked her hair as she cried into his shirt.

"And so is my Ki…" she cried.

"But it's over Shinobu. It's over…" Andi walked over and put her hand on Shinobu's shoulder. The friends surrounded them and all turned to head back to the hotel. It was over. Riku had made sure of it.
