DNA Charge

Yoshi indeed got her chance later that day. Later that day, the suspect vehicle was reported in her vicinity, and she was ordered to pull it over. The driver was formidable at driving, but Yoshi was fierce and enduring, and eventually she convinced the retreating car to pull over.

The license plate was that of the stolen car, and so was the car's color. Yoshi called Dispatch for backup before going forward to nab the suspect. To her surprise, her backup was Miki and Megumi, her old friends. Megumi sat in the driver's seat and kept in contact with Dispatch while Miki came out of the patrol car and flanked Yoshi with her gun drawn.

"We've got him covered, Yoshi," said Miki, "You go ahead and get him."

"Good luck, Yoshi," said Megumi from inside her open window.

"Thanks, guys," said Yoshi, getting out with her own gun drawn. She shouted fiercely at the suspect, "Come out with your hands up!"

Yakamoto, a big man with dark eyes, came out of the car, and though Miki and Megumi didn't scare him much, he saw the anger in Yoshi's eyes, and knew he didn't stand a chance in this position. He put his hands up.

"Hit the dirt, meatbag!" Yoshi shouted. Yakamoto did so.

Yoshi edged forward slowly, with Miki assuring her that she had her covered, and to go ahead and cuff him. She started to point her pistol away from the suspect, but then Yakamoto saw an opportunity. He hit her legs with his arm, making her fall over. She dropped her gun. He drew his own, got up, and prepared to shoot her.

Miki opened fire, but Yakamoto ducked behind the stolen car, and aimed at Yoshi again. Evidently, he didn't take kindly to being looked at the way Yoshi had done so.

But to his surprise, Yoshi's right fist suddenly began to light up with her DNA charge. She took her own opportunity and knocked the gun out of his hand. Then she leaped back to her feet, and landed one DNA charged punch on his face. His body flew about ten or twelve feet away, almost falling into the traffic.

He was quite winded. Yoshi retrieved her own gun, holstered it, and handcuffed the man with his hands in the back. She took him back to her car, telling him what she thought of jerks that got fat off the sufferings of innocent people. He just stared at her with disbelief as she locked him in the back seat.

Miki and Megumi were quite amazed. "Wow!" said Megumi, "I didn't know you could do that, Yoshi!"

"Me neither," said Miki. "That was excellent!"

"Thanks, Miki, Megumi," said Yoshi, "But I only did what needed to be done. I'm just happy to help the good citizens of Tokyo; I'm not in it for the glory."

Miki and Megumi looked at each other. "If you say so, Yoshi," said Megumi, "Lalamon would be so proud of you right now."

Yoshi smiled at the memory of Lalamon.

"Go ahead and take him to jail," said Miki, "We'll secure the area for you."

"Thanks again," said Yoshi, and she took Yakamoto to jail.

Although she wasn't wounded in the line of duty, her actions with her impressive DNA charged fist while unarmed earned her a Medal of Valor from Captain Sampson. She promised herself to show it to Lalamon some day when the digital dive was opened again.
