As soon as we arrive, we're taken into the offices. We watch, as the suits file in.
"You ever seen this many ass kissers in one room?"
"Every time I go to the pentagon."
"Look, the little Japanese dude is waving."
"Well, be courteous. Wave back." I flip him off.
"I don't think he liked that. He's not waving anymore."
"Oh, darn." I laugh, as Jessie walks in, Marcus and Karen following her.
"Well, are you ready?"
"I have to dance around the ring with Golaith over there and take a dive. How much prep do I need?"
"Not you, her." He points at Sonya.
"Oh, hell no! You can't be serious."
"Oh, I can be dead serious. I think she'll jump at the chance."
"What chance? You guys have been pounding on her for days. She's not ready for this."
"Really, I thought she'd want a shot at Karen."
"WHAT?!?" Karen tries to hit him, and Jessie grabs her arm, as Sonya laughs.
"Kano and I made a little side bet. I think Sonya's got enough left to kick her ass And Kano seems to think Karen's got what it takes to put her in a pine box. So, before you two hook up, they do. You got enough left for one more dance, Blade?"
"I can take that bitch in a coma." Sonya looks at Karen, smiling.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, MARCUS! YOU CAN'T!"
"Sure I can, babe. Buisness is business," Jessie leads Karen out kicking and screaming, as Sonya laughs, "Damn, that's a loud bitch. See you two down there." He walks out, as I look to Sonya.
"You ready for this?"
"Even if I wasn't, I wouldn't pass it up." I smile, following her out. We walk down to the ring. Kano walks up behind Marcus.
"Make it easy, and go down like a good little bitch."
"Is that what you used to tell Jarek?" He moves to slap her. NOT THIS TIME! I grab his wrist, and kick him as hard as I can in the groin, following it up with an uppercut.
"GOD, THAT FELT GOOD!" Sonya laughs.
"Small, aren't they?"
"Have you ever played marbles," He slowly gets up, glaring at me, "Un-uh. Remember all that money you two jackasses are gonna split," Kano angrily limps off, "That felt almost as good as sticking it to Mitch a few days ago. Give me the keys."
"What keys?"
"The keys to her cuffs." He pats down his pockets.
"Damn, I can't seem to find them."
"Come on, man, she doesn't have a chance handcuffed."
"I know." He laughs, walking off.
"Shit."
"What are you worried about? I can beat that bitch in a full body cast." I laugh, as she steps into the ring, and toe to toe with Karen.
"I've waited years for this."
"Keep waiting, bitch." Karen throws a punch. Sonya sidesteps it, and kicks her hard in the chest. She follows up with a jump kick to the head.
"YEAH, SONYA! KICK HER ASS," Sonya lands two more kicks, sending her down. Karen drives her fingers into Sonya's injured calf. Sonya screams, as Karen takes her down hard. Karen lands stomp after stomp, "COME ON, SONYA, GET UP! YOU CAN TAKE HER! GET UP!" Sonya rolls defencively, kicking Karen in the knee, and in the stomach, sending her down. Karen pulls a pistol.
"You're dead, bitch." I jump in the ring, trying to pull Sonya out.
"GO AHEAD! TAKE THE SHOT!" Seconds later, a shot rings out, as the gun flies from Karen's hand. YES, THE CALVARY! Jax and Sanchez charge through the crowd, as a bunch of guys in camo surround the ring.
"SANCHEZ, CUFF THAT BITCH!" Jax lights a stogie, as I grab the pistol, and corner Marcus.
"Give me those fuckin' keys."
"You won't shoot me. You don't have the guts." I see Jax heading towards us, a twelve guage in his hands.
"You're right, he is." Marcus reluctantly hands me the keys. Smart boy, ain't he? I get in the ring, and unlock Sonya. She rubs her wrists, as Jax and I help her up.
"Unlock that bitch. We're not done yet." Sanchez hesitates, looking her over.
"You sure, partner?" Sonya wipes the blood from her lip.
"Oh, yeah." Sanchez still hasn't moved.
"YOU HEARD HER!" Sanchez laughs, unlocking Karen. This is why I am now and always will be a Sonya Blade fan from HELL! GO SONYA! I watch her land a whole series of punches and kicks. Karen falls face first. She kneels in Karen back, and pulls her up by the hair.
"My brother deserved SO much better than you," She drives Karen's head hard into the mats, knocking her out, "You clowns waiting on an invitation? GET THIS BITCH OUT OF MY SIGHT!" Sanchez laughs, dragging Karen out. Sonya falls face first on the mats.
"It's over, partner. It's over." Jax picks her up, and helps her out, as medics surround her. She motions over to me. As soon as I get close, she grabs the back of my head.
"Knock that BITCH out." I grin, nodding, as she grabs my shoulder, and pulls herself up.
"Lieutenant, you need to come with us."
"In a minute. I paid for this seat with my blood. I'm watching it." Jax motions to Sanchez, who lets Jessie go.
"You have to . . ."
"Try to move me, and I'll have him," She points to Jax, "Move you," Jax grins, cracking his knuckles. The medics back off, as she leans against the ring, "Take her out."
"Is that an order?"
"Concider it the first I've ever given you."
"Yes, ma'am." I get into the ring with Jessie. We trade kicks and blocks, until I see an opening. I throw a punch. Grabbing my arm, she buries her knee in my stomach, and follows it up with a head kick. I land hard, and glance toward the crowd. I see Sonya being dragged out, Kano pushing that knife against her throat. I flip back to my feet, and land a hard punch to Jessie's throat, "Sorry, no more time to play." I land a roundhouse, sending her down, and run out after Jax, who has his gun trained on Kano.
"STOP! YOU GOT NO WHERE TO GO, KANO! LET HER GO!" Kano shoves her into the backseat of a limo, as Jax lowers the gun. I see Sanchez next to a bike.
"Sanchez, give me the bike."
"We can handle this, Jessie."
"You owe me. The jacket, the keys, the helmet, NOW!" Sanchez reluctantly parts with them, as Kano and Jax shout four letter words at each other. I kickstart the bike, seeing Marcus running to the driver's side.
"At least take these." He shoves an earpiece in my ear, and a gun in my hand.
"I don't do guns. Give me the knife." He hands me the knife off his belt. Putting the helmet on, I follow the black van following the limo. I pull up next to it, waving at Jax.
"WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"
"Kano's got her. I'm gonna shove that blade down his throat." I ride past him, and toward the right side of the limo.
"Watch yourself, I'm gonna ram him off the road." I move up along side of the limo, and see Sonya fighting Kano off. Jax rams the limo sending Sonya and Kano into the back of the driver's seat hard.
"DON'T DO THAT AGAIN! SHE'S IN THERE, ASSHOLE!" Jax leans out of the window, shooting at the tires.
"You got a better idea?"
"Yeah, as a matter of fact. AND WATCH YOUR AIM!
"I'm not gonna shoot you."
"It's not me I'm worried about." I punch the window twice with the gloved hand, shattering it. I pull the bike closer, reaching for her. She grabs my hand, and I try to pull her through the window. I get her halfway through, and watch Kano stab her calf. She screams, letting go, and flying back in.
"What happened?"
"Kano stabbed her."
"Damn it!" I pull up farther. Marcus hits the brakes, turning the limo towards me. The fender clips my back wheel. I almost loose it, turning into the wall, and hitting the brakes. I regain control before I wipe out. I turn it around, just in time to see Jax swerve to miss the limo, and crash a few feet behind it into the wall. Kano jerks Sonya through the moon roof by her hair.
"PARTNER!!" Sonya screams, as Jax, bleeding and looking more than a little pissed off, emerges from the nearly totaled van. Kano backhands her hard, sending her back into the limo, and disappears himself.
"You OK?"
"No, they're gonna make me pay for this one," I grin, as Marcus revs the engine. Oh, you want to challenge me? I maneuver the bike into position. It ends right here, jackass. I rev the bike's engine, "What are you doing?"
"I am so high, I can hear heaven," I pull the glove down tight, kissing the back of it. Sonya, give me courage, "I am so high, I can hear heaven," I pull the faceplate down, revving the engine more, "No, but heaven, no heaven don't hear me." Marcus and I both let go of the brakes.
"JESSIE, STOP . . ." I see Jax running behind the limo, as I gun the bike for all it's worth.
"AND THEY SAY THAT A HERO CAN SAVE US! I'M NOT GONNA STAND HERE AND WAIT! I'LL HOLD ON TO THE WINGS OF THE EAGLES, AND WATCH AS THEY ALL FLY AWAY!" OK, Jessie, here we go. I hit the limo head on, driver's side. The last thing I see before I hit the windshield is the fear on Marcus' face. Then darkness.
"JESSIE!" I can hear the terror in Sonya's voice.
