Down in the village Lian was heading towards the inn she was staying at. The snow leopard was thinking about Peng. What was his story and why was he afraid of doing kung fu? He had talent and he seemed like a kind hearted guy, it was hard to picture Peng being evil. Lian hoped that Peng was getting some help from the monastery and maybe she could convince him to help her defend the village from the bandits.
Lian was so lost in thought, she didn't notice the figure of Hudai watching her from a nearby rooftop. The hawk slowly followed after Lian as she continued to make her way to the inn, as she reached the inn the two warthogs from the market came out of a nearby alley with four wolves behind them cutting Lian from the inn.
"It's payback time!" Snarled the first warthog as he pulled out a nasty looking club.
The second warthog pulled out a club as the wolves pulled out some short swords and advanced towards Lian. The snow leopard took a fighting stance and faced the bandits.
"Bring it!" She declared.
The first warthog charged forward swinging, his club at Lian, but she dodged it and delivered a powerful punch to the bandit's face knocking him to the ground in a dazed heap. One of the wolves charged at Lian with a sword thrust. Lian managed to dodge it, but her shirt got torn a little. The wolf snickered as he charged at Lian swinging his sword and backing Lian towards the door of a nearby shop. Just when Lian's back was against the shops door the wolf stabbed, his blade at her, but Lian dodged out of the way and the sword was stabbed through the door. The wolf tried to pull his weapon out, but it was stuck. Lian delivered a powerful kick to the wolf's chest knocking him to the ground in a dazed heap.
"Why you little brat!" Snarled the second warthog as he charged forward swinging his club.
Lian dodged the blow, she then grabbed the warthog's arm and preformed a judo throw. The warthog flew through the air and crashed into one of the wolves making them both crash to the ground in a heap. Lian turned to the two remaining wolves.
"Next."
The wolves charged at once swinging their swords at the snow leopard. Lian jumped over the swings and kicked both wolves in the face knocking them both to the ground. Lian looked at all the defeated bandits with triumph.
The moment was short lived. Hudai suddenly came swooping in and scratched Lian's right arm with his talons. Lian shouted in pain as Hudai hovered a few yards away from her.
"Why you..." Said Lian as she tried to advance towards the hawk, but suddenly she felt dizzy.
Lian stumbled around confused as she looked at Hudai as she noticed a green liquid dripping from his talons.
"Drugs!" Thought Lian before everything went dark and she collapsed to the ground unconscious.
The other bandits got up and went over to Hudai.
"Grab the girl, we're taking her to see the boss, he wants to make an example out of her." Said Hudai.
One of the warthogs picked Lian up and carried her as the bandits marched out of the village. The villagers watched the scene from their homes and shops. They wondered what cruel torture Dante had planned for the girl.
To be continued.
