Love & War: The Black Moons
Chapter 36: Getting Lost
At another part of the base, R. Mika and Ibuki are walking alone, pissed at each other.
"It's all your fault because you went the wrong way!" Ibuki exclaimed.
"No, it's YOUR fault," R. Mika countered. " You're slow, so they decided to leave us behind."
Ibuki was about to ream on R. Mika when a soldier was coming up from behind the wrestler.
"Look out!"
Ibuki jumps and fires a kunai at the soldier, stopping him dead on the tracks. R. Mika was at a loss. Ibuki just stuck her neck out for the wrestler.
"Uh... thanks."
Ibuki feels quite embarrassed with all the bickering her and R. Mika are doing, but the wrestler spotted Balrog passing by behind Ibuki with Ed.
"Hey!"
Ibuki spotted a horsed-shaped piece in his hand.
"Is this what you chumps want? If you want it, come and get it!"
They fight, but Ibuki finds herself in quite a bind. Balrog has no problem taking on a teenage girl. But her Ninjutsu skills she aquired over the course her life despite her lack of drive for training served her well. It's one thing to fight a generic Shadaloo grunt, but Balrog is one of the Four Kings. But ibuki manages to defeat him. To her amazement, he gets back up.
"That didn't work?"
Balrog moved in for the kill. He tried to punch Ibuki but R. Mika shielded her by absorbing the blow to her face.
"Mika!"
"Don't worry," Mika said. "Compared to my special training, this is nothing." She turns to Balrog. "Why don't you try me on for size?"
Having just been in a fight, Balrog shows no signs of backing down, and it showed in his agility and brutality he puts in his punches. However, he fails to realize that R. Mika is a force to be reckoned with. After a fierce duel, Balrog is defeated again. Even so, it was still not enough, so Mika got behind Balrog in a waistlock. Ed tried to use his power to repel Mika, but Ibuki stopped him with a smoke bomb. They managed to grab the piece and head off. They found Karin and Shibasaki.
"Ms. Kanzuki!"
