Hi, guys :3 I know it's been long, but here is the next chapter of my least popular fic.

The girls were at Strawberry's cafe, taking care of it just like Strawberry asked.

"I'm getting bored" Raspberry said. "Let's see what's on TV"

Lemon flipped through a few channels, passing by one particular channel.

"Hey, go two channels back! I wanna see that" Plum said

And Lemon did just as she was told. The logo of the King of Iron Fist Tournament was shown on the screen.

"Don't tell me you want to watch this stuff" Lemon said

"Come on, it's fun"

"Some random dudes beating each other to death? I think I'll pass" Blueberry commented

"Okay, first, they don't kill each other. And they're not just some random dudes, you know. They're the best fighters in the world. This match is between Nina Williams and a mystery fighter"

"Mystery fighter?" Orange asked

"Yeah. He or she was added to the tournament in the last moment"

Plum turned her attention to the TV. The camera was now focusing on the ring, with the announcer's voice in the background. "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the greatest fighting tournament in this and in any other world, the King of Iron Fist Tournament!"

"Ladies and gentlemen? Hardly" Cherry commented as Plum shushed her

"Yes, you heard right. The number one event in the world of punches and kicks is here! The first match will say hello to a newcomer"

"I'm really curious" Plum said

"In the left corner, we have a professional assassin ready to break anyone's bones and throw them face-first into the floor. Nina Williams" the announcer said as Nina walked in the ring

"Woo! Go, Nina! Kick some butts!" Plum exclaimed

"And in the right corner, we have the newbie. She's just a cafe owner, but her firends would describe her as a face-breaking, roundhouse-kicking, upper-cutting street fighter girl, especially when you get on her bad side"

Cherry looked surprised. "A cafe owner who fights well? You don't think that..."

"Give a round of applause to Strawberry Shortcake!"

"Strawberry? What is she doing there, in she crazy?" Raspberry asked

"Now let's hope that Nina will take the new girl easy. But knowing her, she probably won't! Fans of the Iron Fist, get ready for the fight!"

Nina proceeded to mock Strawberry "Hey, little girl, should I take you easy? Just joking. I don't take anyone easy"

Nina started the fight with a left palm strike that Strawberry parried easily with her right hand, countering with a left shover hook and a right hook punch. Nina took a few steps back.

"You're tougher than you look, kid"

Strawberry closed the distance, trying to land a jab. Nina parried, going for a palm combo to the face. Strawberry blocked it, so Nina tried a double palm strike, only to have it deflected.

"She stopped Nina's Double Explosion? Maybe this girl has some tricks up her sleeve"

Strawberry continued with a the classical one-two punch combo, which Nina had no problem blocking. However, she took Nina by surprise with a left uppercut, as she was expecting a hook. Strawberry finished her combo with a powerful roundhouse kick to Nina's ribs. Again, Nina took her distance.

"Hey, big girl, shoud I take you easy?" Strawberry mocked Nina in the same way that she did earlier.

Nina stepped forward, throwing a left palm and a right spinning roundhouse kick, both blocked. In her spin, Nina threw a left knife hand aimed at Strawberry's ribs. Strawberry caught Nina's arm and swept her legs. Nina stood up quickly, but was taken by surprise by Strawberry's right hook and left uppercut combo. Strawberry ended it with a barrage of lightning-fast hooks aimed at different levels: some to the face, some to the body. They were unoredictable, even for an assassin with Nina's skills.

"And Strawberry manages to get a perfect victory!" the announcer said. "Not only did she avoid taking a single hit, but she also took Nina down with her signature move, Speed of Light! What a fight, people!"

"Wow, Strawberry has some insane fighting skills, right girls?" Plum asked

"Who cares about that? We have to get to Princess Berrykin and find out what this is all about" Raspberry pointed out

"But Strawberry wants us to stay here" Plum said

"And we want Strawberry alive" Orange replied
