Lesson 5: Mentorship

"Everything seems to be in place. She's still alive. She probably won't even know what we did to her."

In an abandoned warehouse, a Muscular boxer with a thick mustache was standing over an unconscious Ibuki. The man turned out to be Dudley. Next to him was none other than Juri. She had just arrived 20 minutes after leaving her house.

"I highly disagree with that logic, Dudley." Juri commented. "Hopefully, she will be able to control the Feng Shui Engine. Otherwise…" Juri stopped her speech as Ibuki began to awaken."

"So, how was your nap, Ibuki?" Juri asked.

"How long was I out?" she asked.

"It's been about 2 days. You were heavily damaged in that last fight." Dudley said.

"One question how is it that you two can see in all of this darkness?" Ibuki asked. Dudley was confused.

"What do you mean? Its bright as day." Dudley said. He then realized what had happened. He stared into the ground as he reflected on the situation.

"I knew it. JURI!" Ibuki yelled. She knew what had happened.

"We were going to leave it to a doctor, but then I thought we might as well trade those eyes of yours with the Feng Shui Engine." Juri stated.

"I'm terribly sorry about this, Ibuki." Dudley said with regret. Although he brought her into the warehouse to be rejuvenated, it was Juri who embedded the Feng Shui Engine inside of her.

"It's not your fault, Dudley. She's actually right, but I thought we agreed not to use the engine on me. And for God's sake, both of my eyes?!" Ibuki shouted with anger.

"Just use the power of the engine. It should help you." Juri Stated. "With it, your vision will be 3x's better than it was before. And with the right chi, you'll be able to activate them permanently without wearing yourself out."

"That's not the point. You know that the Feng Shui has side-effects. Just look at yourself." Ibuki said as she looked towards Juri. Both of her eyes glowed purple.

"Maybe you're right. However, if I could capture someone who can use the Satsui no Hado, I'd be able to fully control and use the engine to its full potential." Juri responded. "That's why I'm glad you're on board now. It should motivate you to help me."

"There is only one reason I'm going to help you, and that is because I don't want Makoto to fall into the darkness like you." Ibuki said. "Speaking of, where is she?"

"She's back at the house. We're at a faraway warehouse at the moment." Juri said.

"Well, let's go home already." Ibuki rushed.

"Not yet." Juri responded.

"Why not? Are you hiding something else?" Ibuki asked.

"Actually, my plan is to have you bring both Makoto and Fei Long to their senses about the real world." Juri answered.

"What do you mean? And who is Fei Long?" Ibuki questioned more. Juri laughed.

"Both her and I have a bet on who will tell you about the situation first. If you complete all of her courses, I'll tell you everything. Otherwise, it's going to be her." Dudley spoke out.

"I'll accept that challenge under one condition." Ibuki said.

"Whatever you need, Ibuki." Juri mocked. "What would that condition be?"

Ibuki hopped out of her medical bed and pinned Juri's left hand against the wall with her Kunai. Juri screamed in pain as she looked at Ibuki in anger. Dudley was shocked by what happened. Ibuki then smiled.

"You will stay away from Makoto for the rest of your life! No longer will you use her as bait to capture Akuma!" Ibuki demanded. Juri made a fake smile.

"Why…do you think that…darling?" Juri asked whilst still in pain.

"You already know that no matter how hard Makoto trains…" Juri pulls her kunai out of Juri's hand as she became furious.

"MAKOTO WILL NEVER DEFEAT AKUMA!"
