Love & War: The Black Moons
Chapter 21: A Regretful Challenge
Karin walks up to Samus.
"Who are you guys?" Karin asked.
"Wait a minute," Cammy runs to Chris. "Karin, this is Chris of the Homefront Warriors. And Tanya and Jade, right?"
"Yes," Jade answered.
"I'm Samus Aran, the operator of my gunship."
"Chris... I've heard stories about you."
Cammy looked at Johnny. "You must be Johnny Cage?"
"What gave it away?" Aw jeez, Johnny. Enough already! Tanya gave him a deathly look. Cammy took notice and kneed Johnny in the nuts!
"If you don't quit fucking around, Johnny, you'll going back home without your head!" Tanya warned him with her flaming fist.
"I'm sorry, babe."
Tanya grabbed him and was about to punch him until Chris stopped her. "Enough!
Chris walked up to Johnny, furious, grabbing him by the throat. "STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL, ASSHOLE!"
He threw him down and gave Tanya a pissed-off look then walked off. He looked at Karin.
"Are you Karin?"
"Yes..."
"Look, I'm in a very bad mood right now. Piss me off, and I will cut you open, rip out your intestines, AND JAM THEM DOWN YOUR THROAT! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"
Karin knew how serious he is, but remained unfazed. "You think you scare me? I'm a Kanzuki, and you will respect me!"
She tried to put Chris in a armlock, but he countered with a sharp spin kick. Karin recovered and Cammy tried to intervene. "Chris, stop this!" Chris pulled out his Glock19 directly at Cammy's head.
"YOU WANT SOME? I'LL BUST YOUR ASS TOO!"
Karin took advantage and charged at Chris, but he moved out of the way. Cammy tried to strike but Chris grabbed her, kneed her in the gut and power punched her in the face.
"I had respect for you, Chris, but now you're my enemy!"
Karin fought Chris. She tried to get him to submit, but every time she tries to strike, he has a answer for it. Karin was desperate to calm him down with one final strike, but Chris once again countered and the fight ended badly for her. Her strike cost her fight as Chris grabbed her arm and snapped the bone, separating it from the elbow. He then backfisted her in the face, kneed her in the stomach, and blasted her with a powerful uppercut, sending her flying. She landed hard on the ground. "Had enough yet?"
Karin was crying loud, "Stop!" Jade stepped in front of him. "That's enough! I don't know what the hell happened to you, but you need to stop now! You almost killed her!" She's right. Something in Chris snapped. Instead of saying anything, he walked away. Tanya ran up to Jade. "What the hell just happened?"
"I have no idea. Maybe it had something to do with Kano."
Cammy got up.
"Cammy, are you ok?" asked Tanya.
"What's his problem?" Cammy asks.
"Kano, that's what."
"Who's Kano?"
"Worry about him later," Jade replied. "But he's the one that triggered Chris' anger. Everytime he sees him, he wants to kill him."
They tended to Karin, still reeling from Chris' assault.
"Karin, what the hell were you thinking?" Tanya asked. "You cannot challenge someone and expect a victory. There's always stronger opponents who will take your challenge and make you regret it! You understand now?"
"Where is he?"
"Don't even try, Karin. You already paid for your stupidity."
Samus got back from her ship. "Karin..."
"No, Samus. Not one word. Now, explain to us why we're here!"
