CHAPTER 3: ONE NINJA STAR-ONE DOWNED OWL

They shake in fear. They faces show fear. They swear in fear. And they will fight in fear.

NO! Martin would never do that. He actually though that they could survive. He also had a trick in his sleeve, but it was his last hope. It was very thin an stealthy ninja star. It was intended to use on Kung Fu capable opponents, because of its thin cutting- edge design. It was so stealthy that Martin predicted that even Master Tigress couldn't notice it. But it was never tested on her. It was a weapon designed to kill.

Fenghuang was facing them. Her wicked grin appeared and she laughed evilly.

"Haha! Now, we meet again, Martin... You thought that it's all over? Just like that? You were SO wrong!"

" Fenghuang... Guess you recovered from that slap, huh? Well, looks like that i had to hit you stronger..."

Fenghuang suddenly snapped.

" Well, you humiliated me very much back then... But you didn't thought about possible consequences... And now, i'm back for REVENGE!" she yelled victoriously and charged at them, and Ivan was first victim.

She charged using her talons, expecting Ivan to do his limbo, which he did. But before he dodged, she lowered her left talon and grabbed Ivan, flied around and slammed him on a tree. Then she released him, expecting his counterattack. He charged at her,yelling:

" Rubber fist of death!"

As he started with his fist combo however,Fenghuang was ready and she blocked all his hits. Then she swiped him with her right wing, and send him flying at the nearby rock. With a large thud, Ivan was knocked out.

" She got Ivan!" (Frano)

" You bird whore..." (Martin)

" Alright, who's next?" she said as she was still in mid-air

" It's me! Hy-AH!" Frano yelled and jumped at her

He grabbed her wing and using his momentum, flung her down. Fenghuang recovered and stood up. But suddenly Martin got behind her, jumped up and preformed a hurrincarana. This sent her flying into waiting Frano, who get ready for volley kick her. But she recovered, spread her wings and made a dropkick on Frano's face. Frano was in almost-knocked state and he dropped his guard for a moment, allowing Fenghuang to execute Thundering Wing Hammer. This caused Frano to get knocked trough few bamboo trees.

Finally it was Martin's turn

" Finally... It's just us two..." (Fenghuang)

" Fenghuang... I'll fight to the end!" (Martin)

" Before i kill you, tell me something... How did you found out to execute the Mongolian Fireball?" (Fenghuang)

" Since that's your last wish... It's called the Mindspike... It's a skill that i had learned that allows you to enter someone's mind and learn everything you want..." (Martin)

" Okay, but that attack is executed on the other way. You have to feel it. How did you do that?" (Fenghuang)

" Well let's just say that i'm experienced at feeling things..." (Martin)

"Okay. Now, how do you want to die?" (Fenghuang)

"How about Mongolian Fireball clash?" (Martin)

"You got it." (Fenghuang)

As they got prepeared, they both got in their stance and started to fire up their fireballs. After a 30 seconds, they launched their projectiles. As their fireballs smashed, they both felt the knock from other's chi. After a few exhausting minutes Fenghuang gained the upper hand and blasted Martin. The explosion created a lot of rubble and smoke. After a few moments, the smoke cleared and now Martin was laying in small crater, injured.

As Fenghuang saw this, she laughed.

"Haha! Now Martin, you didn't revealed my secret... I win because i cheat..." Then Martin stood up while Fenghuang turned around for a moment. Big mistake. Marin then took his ninja star from his pocked and aimed at Fenghuang's back.

"Funny... Because i cheat too! HA!"

He throws the ninja star at her with surprising speed and stealth, and after a moment the star stabbed itself in upper part of Fenghuang's spine. She instantly fell, still alive.

" Nerves... You gotta love them..."
