To Become a Shinobi Ch. 49
By Eliad Sholomovich

Ibuki opened her eyes after preparing for the battle. She sensed a powerful aura somewhere nearby.

She averted her gaze to her left and caught a glimpse of Cammy flexing as well. "Thats the woman from the plane...How interesting. She does brandish a unique outfit..." Ibuki thought and gazed at Cammy's rather revieling attire.

Cammy turned to Ibuki as well and smiled "So the girl's finally noticed me...I wonder how fighting this so called proficient Ninja shall be? I hope this ends quickly, I'm starting to get a spliting headache." Cammy thought and threw some punches into the air.

Suddenly both ladies heard a loud cheer and a sickening cracking sound. A cry of pain and then a shout of very colorful curse words in English.

The crowd cheered and clapped wildly. A Huge man left the arena and passed by both of them without stopping or paying attention to anyone.

Then a man accidently bumped into the giant, the huge man growled impatietly and pushed him aside, The man gasped in surprise and fear and was sent flying sideways.

Ibuki pushed the thought aside and awaited her turn to fight. "I'm thankful I didn't get that guy...He's monsterous, I pity his opponent..." Ibuki thought and cracked her fists in an anticipation for her own fight.

The fight arranger looked at Cammy and she winked, the arranger nodded and walked up to Ibuki.

"Emmm...Ibuki right?" He said. Ibuki nodded. "You're up next, good luck" He said.

Ibuki saw the crowd part and let her pass through a narrow little pathway. Ibuki entered the ring while ingnoring the mocking remarks and whispers she heard as she passed.

Cammy looked at the arranger and he smiled gestured with his hand. Cammy nodded and walked towards the arena as well. The arranger followed suit. He motioned both women to approach. Ibuki and Cammy nodded and complied.

"Ok...These are the rules lady...There are no rules...No time limits...The last one standing is the winner...Am I clear?" He asked.

Cammy nodded and Ibuki sighed "Oh boy...I have a bad feeling about this..." Ibuki thought and took a few steps back. Cammy followed suit and both entered their stances.

Both remained silent and scanned eachother in a cold and calculating gaze. Then their eyes locked and both women dashed forward, the crowd cheered loudly as both combatents closed the gap between them.

Cammy launched a kick at Ibuki's face the minute she was in range, Ibuki blocked the kick and stepped forward.

She aimed her fist at Cammy's face, Cammy swatted the attack with her forearms and tried to hit Ibuki's left cheek with a Right fisted punch, The blow landed home and Ibuki absorbed the punch and then fell victim to left gut punch. The blow forced her to bend forward and then Cammy tried an axe kick.

Ibuki quickly shook her head and dodged the foot, which whistled neat her head.

Then she sidestepped to the left avoiding a sidekick and took advantage of Cammy's vulnerability to slam her right foot into Cammy's Ribcage.

Cammy reeled and groaned in pain, then Ibuki threw a palm strike at her face as well. But Cammy successfully swatted the attack and slammed her the back of her left fist into Ibuki's abdomen.

Ibuki was forced to bend yet again and Cammy slammed her fist into Ibuki's lower back, this forced Ibuki to her knees, then she aimed her elbow to Ibuki's temple.

Ibuki raised her hands and grabbed Cammy's elbow, and then grabbed her wrist with one hand and her arm with the other and twisted them downwards. Cammy was forced to her knees and she was helpless to resist the hold.

Ibuki rose to her feet while holding Cammy's arm and kicked Cammy's chest, then she slammed w an axe kick with authority upon Cammy's back which sent her opponent crashing to the ground.

Ibuki let go of Cammy's arm while she axe kicked her and then somersaulted backwards, she landed on her feet and reentered her stance and waited for Cammy to recover and resume the fight.

Cammy's eyes narrowed in concentration and rubbed the back of her head Cr*p...As if my head didn't hurt enough already...Bloody h*ll!" Cammy thought and shook her head.

She rose to her feet and reentered her stance "It seems this kid's really good, I knew she would be, but how solid is her defense against a good blitzer like me?" Cammy wondered and the side of her lip curled upwards.

Ibuki raised a brow "What is she up to? Why is she smiling? This is very suspicious, I must keep my guard and expect the unexpected." Ibuki thought and inhaled deeply.

Cammy licked her lips and shifted her weight backwards, then she leapt forward.Ibuki saw this leap before it was initiated and crossed her arms.

Cammy's kick was absorbed and Ibuki was pushed backwards, Before Ibuki could recover Cammy stepped forward and swung her fist, Ibuki barely dodged by shifting her body sideways.

And again before Ibuki could resume her stance Cammy's aimed itself towards her face, But this time it connected and Ibuki's head snapped sideways.

Then three followed suit with an alternation of Cammy's fists. Then Cammy uppercutted Ibuki and wrapped her hands around Ibuki's waist, She then leapt into the air and suplexed Ibuki.

Ibuki groaned as her back collided with the cold surface, She clenched her teeth and ignored a bugging sensation of pain in her lower abdomen.

She leapt to her feet with a cry of "Kazakiri!", Cammy wasn't ready for this move and was nailed by Ibuki's Chi engulfed foot.

Cammy was forced off the ground, but she managed to somersault and land on her feet.

She rubbed her Chin and spat a surge of blood. "This kid's a menace...How's she get so good at such a young age?" Cammy wondered as Ibuki landed on her feet and approached Cammy.

Cammy swung her fist again but it was blocked, Ibuki tried a side chop, Cammy absorbed the blow and Ibuki placed her left hand on her neck and right one on her shoulder and pulled her downwards.

Ibuki's Knee rised quickly and sank deep into Cammy's Midsection, then Ibuki hammered Cammy's back. Cammy fell to her knees and Ibuki channeled her Chi "Rai..." She began and she felt her Chi flow through her fist.

Cammy smiled to herself "Bet you aren't expecting this...Surprise!" Cammy thought and grinned as she launched herself upwards while shouting "Cannon Spike!".

Ibuki was surprised as Cammy's foot extended upwards and in a rising motion Cammy's Boot slammed into her Chin. The force picked her off her feet and sent her flying backwards. Ibuki landed on her back with a thud and the crowd cheered for Cammy.

Ibuki rose to her feet swiftly and her eyes narrowed "Interesting...She's agile and has a powerful arsenal...I must be weary. And I really really hope I don't fight her for nothing..." Ibuki thought and entered her stance.

Ibuki dashed forward and leapt forward with a jump kick, Cammy sidestepped and tried to to hit Ibuki before she could recover, but as she aimed her roundhouse Ibuki crouched and extended her foot.

Cammy was swept off her feet and landed on her back. She rose to her feet by rolling backwards.

Cammy entered her stance and again Ibuki attacked by jumping and aiming a kick at her abdomen.

Cammy blocked and tried to retaliate with a kick of her own, but before she could think twice Ibuki's other foot slammed into her chin, Cammy reeled and Ibuki landed.

Ibuki then channeled her Chi into her fist and slammed it into Cammy's midsection. A blast of Blue erupted upon contact as a cry of "Raida!" escaped Ibuki's lips.

Cammy was flung backward and fell to the ground. She exhaled and shook her head, she rose to her feet and dashed forward and tried a punch.

Ibuki dodged and tried a kick, Cammy stepped backwards and avoided the kick "Eat this!" Cammy thought and channeled her Chi into her feet.

She leapt forward while extending her feet, she shouted "Cannon Drill!" And launched herself forward while spinning in a drilling motion. But Ibuki sensed her channel her Chi before the move was initiated and she did a split.

Cammy sailed over her, and landed on her feet a few feet away. Then in a turning motion Ibuki grabbed a Kunai and threw it at Cammy's direction.

It spun around and slammed hilt first into the center of Cammy's back. The powerful blow sent Cammy to the ground. Cammy collided face first onto the ground. She spat some dirt and coughed.

Cammy inhaled through clenched teeth and pushed herself to her feet. Her face flushed red with anger and she shook her fists

Cammy channeled her Chi and leapt forward, She spun many times, She landed a foot distance from Ibuki and tried to wrap her hands around the Youth(Hooligan combo).

Ibuki swatted her hands with her wrists and then slammed a double Palm strike into Cammy's chest. Cammy felt the air escape her lungs as she reeled backwards.

Then Ibuki shook her head as dizziness consumed her. She focused on winning the battle and continued his assault "Mustn't collapse, must fight, Too much depends on it" Ibuki thought.

Ibuki slammed a roundhouse kick into Cammy's cheek which sent the MI6 agent to the ground.

Cammy shook her head and rolled sideways, She acheived some space and then rose to her feet.

Both Women were tired and beeds of sweat adorned their foreheads.Their uniforms were damp and wet and their skin was flushed red. Both panted and then resumed their deep intense gaze.

The crowd was amazed and cheering wildly. Cammy adjusted her wrist guards and blinked a few times. Suddenly Ibuki coughed and pounded on her chest. She then collapsed to one knee in a fit of coughs. A few seconds later, she bit her lower lip and rose to her feet.

Cammy shook her head and brushed aside some damp hair which blocked her vision. She clenched her fists and dashed forward, She swung her fist in wide arc, She tried to fake a punch and sent a quick kick, But Ibuki didn't fall for the bait and blocked the kick, But she was exhausted and fell her knees in weakness.

Cammy leapt and aimed a kick at the weakened Adoscolent, Ibuki absorbed the kick and fell to the ground, Cammy tried a stomp Ibuki.

Ibuki somehow found the strength to roll sideways and tried to stand straight but a stinging pain coursed through her. She held her abdomen and fell to her knees again. Cammy chuckled and hit her with a cannon drill.

Ibuki absorbed the full force of the blow and was sent flying backwards. She lay on her back, she moaned to herself and rose to her knees.

Cammy channeled her Chi "Now to finish this..." Cammy thought and slowly her body eminated a faint blue glow.

Ibuki glanced at Cammy through a haze of weakness, She couldn't see her features, but she saw Cammy's body glow in blue and sensed her Chi gather.

Ibuki clenched her teeth and rose to her feet, She channeled her own Chi into her Fist. She felt the warmth of her Chi course through her.

Cammy started running towards her, a trail of Blue Chi in her tracks "She's mine, she'll never survive this move..." Cammy thought and narrowed her eyes, she only focused on one thing landing the blow.

Ibuki's eyes started glowing in weak blue, Cammy didn't notice this fact since Ibuki's head was lowered and her eyes faced the ground. Cammy came closer and closer her Chi levels growing higher and brighter with each step.

At a distance of 5 feet She leapt forward and shouted "Spin Drive Smasher!!!".

But then Ibuki's head rose to gaze at Cammy with glowing Blue eyes, Then her Chi changed to bold red, She pulled back her fist and threw it forward.

A huge projectile sailed from her fist as she shouted "Yoroi Doushu!!!". Before Cammy's feet reached Ibuki, the projectile of Chi blazed into life and collided with Cammy forcefully. Cammy cried in pain and was sent flying backwards.

A huge Red flashed as the croud saw the Chi engulf Cammy. Cammy landed on her back and lay motionless and the crowd gasped.

Cammy clenched her teeth and tried to get up, but he body wouldn't comply, she was weak and wounded from the fight "How?...Did... She...Win?" Were Cammy's last thoughts before she was engulfed by the blackness on unconciousness.

Meanwhile Ibuki collapsed to her knees and coughed violently, Her entire body quaked in pain.

She leaned on one hand barely stabilizing her weak body with her shaking hand.

She looked at Cammy and felt a wave of pity for the woman I can't leave her here, unconcious with all these men around, Who knows What'll they might do to her...I gotta get her out of here" Ibuki thought.

Then she rose to her feet slowly and grimaced she wiped some blood off the side of her mouth with her sleeve and limped out of the ring. The crowd cheered and Ibuki was handed a brown envelope. Ibuki reached the bouncer and asked for her bag.

She put the envelope in her bag and asked the bouncer help her carry Cammy, He nodded and went over to the ring, He picked her up and hoisted her on one shoulder.

Then both left towards the arena's exit. She searched for a taxi and found one, To her suprise it was the same Taxi that brought her there. The driver was sitting in the driver's seat.

The bouncer placed Cammy in the passenger's seat and Ibuki sat next to her unconcious form. The bouncer bowed his head and left to resume his post.

"Why did you wait for me?" Ibuki asked.

"I couldn't leave you here with no transportation in the middle of the night, I hope you have no ojections." The driver said.

Ibuki smiled weakly "Thank you sir, Could you please take me back to the hotel" Ibuki asked, her voice wavering and weak.

The driver nodded and the Taxi drove off.
