"Talk"

'Thought'

"Woah, what happened here?…"

Two muscular men could be seen walking together, one being an older bald man wearing casual clothes, known as Doppo Orochi, and the other being a young adult man, with tanner skin, black ponytail hair, and wearing monk clothing, he was Kaiou Retsu. These two strong fighters walked together, specifically inside a building known as the "Shinshinkai Dojo". However, instead of it being a place filled with trained fighters, what the two men saw was a home filled with nothing but unconscious and broken Shinshinkai fighters. The ruined walls were painted with everyone's blood, and the destroyed floors were littered with bits and pieces of everyone's teeth. It was such a horrifying sight indeed.

"Katsumi!"

One of the broken bodies among the pile was someone both men recognized, that being a younger adult man, Katsumi Orochi, whose father and Retsu wasted no time running up to.

"H-Heh… Guess we can't have our rematch…"

By some miracle, despite being hurt very badly, Katsumi seemed to be awake unlike the others, though just barely, but enough to talk and weakly joke with Kaiou, who carefully lifted him up in his arms.

"Son, tell us what happened here?"

Doppo doesn't really know how to react to all this, anger and rage for his Son and his Dojo to be nearly destroyed, or disappointed.

"I-Isn't it obvious?"

Katsumi chuckled as he weakly looked at his fallen students and comrades.

"S-Someone challenged t-the Shinshinkai Dojo."

As soon as Katsumi confirmed that someone was indeed responsible for such destruction and massacre, the two Martial Artists couldn't help but feel a new wave of mixed emotions.

"A-And we lost, p-pretty badly in fact…"

Katsumi sighs, even he sounded disappointed with the fact that he lost in this fight.

"And who were these challengers?"

Even though Retsu wanted to send his friend, as well as all the students, to get medical attention, he still asked questions and tried to figure out what happened here.

"T-Two females, I d-didn't get a chance t-to ask for their names…"

Though what Katsumi said next definitely catches the two fighters' attention.

"Wait, are you saying you were all beaten by only two girls?"

Doppo struggled not to laugh at his Son for being defeated by two girls.

"O-One actually…"

The Father struggled more not to laugh when Katsumi attempted to correct him.

"Not to sound insensitive and disrespect our female Martial Artists, but I find it very hard to believe that a single girl was able to accomplish all this carnage."

Retsu couldn't help but express such doubt about all this now, despite the proof.

"Even if she was a Grandmaster, it's just simple biology that males are naturally stronger than females, I'm not saying it's impossible, but given how strong you are and this dojo is, I just can't imagine it."

Retsu started to think about all recorded history and research about the difference between "Men" and "Women", specifically biology and strength difference, as well as recalling all the times a woman tried to challenge a man to a fight, and while it wasn't always one-sided, and even the females won some fights, it was still high enough of a win and loss score that points to women being weaker than men, even if they were professional fighters. These simple facts alone were why the Chinese martial artist couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"W-Well, I guess the g-girls did mention something t-that would suggest I-I wasn't fighting a-any normal fighters…"

However, Katsumi did have some info that might help explain the unusual situation they were in.

"And what would that be?"

Doppo paid attention to his Son, clearly wanting to know just in case it would be useful later.

"Normals only exist as a stepping stone for the Abnormals."

Once Katsumi repeated the quote he was given by the unknown female challengers before his defeat, it just simply left the two fighters confused.

"Abnormals?..."

Retsu cupped his chin and tried to think deeply about what this "Abnormal" could possibly mean.

"Do you know where they're going next?"

As Kaiou tried to figure out this newfound mystery, Doppo still tried to speak with his son, clearly still wanting to learn more about these "Female Challengers". Katsumi could only cough before shaking his head.

"All I know is, they planned to fight the strongest, and that could either be you, Retsu, or even-"

"Baki Hanma!"

A young teen, a very muscular teen, known as Baki Hanma, was startled awake, looking around frantically and confused, but soon was able to calm down once he realized he was just in high school with his teacher and fellow students.

"H-Huh?! Oh? Yes?"

Baki tried to make himself look like a proper student, as he made sure to focus and listened to his teacher.

"Please pay more attention to class."

The teacher sighs and shakes his head as the classmates just chuckled and giggled at Hanma mistakes.

"Oh, um, yes Sir?..."

Baki was left a little bit embarrassed, but tried his best to do as his teacher told him to do.

"As I was saying, today, we will have two new transfer students joining our classroom, so please be respectful and welcome them with open arms."

Though what the Teacher said next definitely caught everyone's interests and even slight excitement, though the strongest teen could only tilt his head with a raised eyebrow.

"You two can come in now and introduce yourself."

The teacher steps aside and lets in two unique individuals, everyone in the classroom watches in awe and fascination.

"Hi all you boring Normals, my name is Koga Itami, and I can't wait to beat you all up one day, maybe!~"

One of the two new students was a young teen girl, with pale skin, bunned up brown hair with a beanie, bright eyes, and a cheerful smile. She was known as Koga Itami, and she just happily threatened everyone with a promise and hope of beating everyone up.

"And I'm Naze Youka, and I really hope we can become friends, since nothing would cause me more misery than being near you Normals."

And as for the second student, she definitely stood out more than the first one. Her entire head was wrapped in bandages, with a knife stabbed in to keep everything in place. It was hard to tell what she looked like, but her frown, single exposed red eye, and blue hair were visible. She was known as Naze Youka, and she definitely made the entire classroom, even the teacher, afraid of her. Well, all except Baki, who just continued to look at them with newfound interest and curiosity.

'Huh, this is definitely gonna be an interesting time of my life.'

This take place before the whole "Death Row Prisoner Escape" Arc, and at the moment, my simple idea is to have Koga Itami and Naze Youka beat up almost everyone in Baki, though I'm open to suggestions since I'm not a expert when comes to world of Baki~

(BTW, don't worry, I don't plan on including characters like Medaka Kurokami or Kumagawa Misogi, I want this to be fun story and not feel like "OP dominates Weak Verse", with that said, i still want to include characters that would fit the theme of Baki, maybe Unzen or Kei, that sounds fun hehe~)
