Chunli is currently being marched down a long corridor. The Yakuza thug behind her doesn't seem to be close to faltering or making any mistakes. She sighs under her breath

"Just my luck…from all the thugs I knocked out, I missed the one carrying the gun, way to go Chun" She thinks and rolls her eyes.

"You know…assaulting an Interpol agent is gonna get you a good few years in jail" Chunli says while turning her head backward.

"Not as much as driving a bullet down your pretty lil a**, now shut up and keep moving!" The thug shouts, wiping his nose with the sleeve of his shirt. Much blood still staining his face from Chunli's onslaught just a few minutes earlier.

He leads her to an elevator with a small keypad where the button is. "Punch 4,5,3,2,1" He says in a cold tone. Chunli hesitates "C'mon…just a little closer…and I'll knock the lights out of your ugly lil head" She thinks.

The thug pulls back the trigger and fires off a bullet. It hits a few inches to the left of her head, now creating a small crater in the wall. Chunli's eyes widen and she gulps.

"I mean business you stupid Gaishou! Punch the f**king code in!" He shouts angrily. Chunli complies reluctantly, seeing he isn't stupid. The elevator opens immediately.

Get in…" He says. Chunli complies. He then remains outside the elevator. "…Now crouch and put your hands on your head." He commands. Chunli bites her lower lip in frustration but complies.

Then he carefully enters the elevator and pushes the button, which is labeled basement. The doors close. He keeps the gun aimed at Chunli's head and eyes her suspiciously.

"Don't even think about trying to attack…cause last time I checked, nobody is faster than a speeding bullet, " The thug says and spits some blood. He coughs and wipes his lip with his free hand.

Chunli gulps and holds back the urge to hurl as his mix of blood and spit hits her face. She inhales deeply "Keep your cool Chun…it's not worth getting a bullet in the head…" She thinks and closes her eyes.

"Think happy thoughts…Warm bubble bath…chocolate…Ryu…the h*ll with it! Who am I kidding? The minute I have the chance I'm mopping the floor with this a**" Chunli thinks.

An audible buzzing is heard, before the doors open, "Narina, Retsuma disarm and take this pile of garbage to the Boss, she's from Interpol" He shouts.

Two very large men come into view and nod, Each grab Chunli by one arm. She readies herself for an assault, but then feels a metallic object touch her right temple.

She bites her lower lip Godd**nit! Why out of all the creeps and criminals in the world do these goons have to have some brains?" Chunli thinks and knows she can't try anything. They take her gun and badge before beginning to haul her toward another corridor.

Meanwhile the Yakuza guy in the elevator smirks at the sight and presses the button labeled entrance. Another buzzing sound and the doors close. He then hears a creaking sound.

He looks up toward the source and goes wide-eyed. Something drops from the escape exit on the roof of the elevator and lands before him.

He backs away and tries to aim his gun, but something hits his abdomen forcefully, then he's hit again and pushed against the wall of the elevator.

He shakes his head and tries to look carefully at the figure. Before he can a hand wraps around his neck. He goes wide-eyed, as all he can see are two dark brown eyes, which glare deeply into his in a bone-chilling manner. He then feels cold metal touching his neck and gulps nervously.

"Drop the gun…" Ibuki's stern and cold voice speaks. He shakes and tries to aim it at her. In reward he is granted with headbutt to the nose. He groans and the back of his head hits the metal surface of the elevator.

"I won't ask you again," Ibuki says and makes a small cut in the skin of his neck to emphasize her point. He clatters his teeth fearfully and drops the firearm. Ibuki grins under her mask and pushes the blade of her Kunai against his skin.

"I'm gonna ask you one question…if you indulge me…you might live to see tomorrow" She says menacingly. He nods slowly, his eyes wide in fear and his gulping is accompanied by shaking.

"I know I should worry bout Saky and Sarai first, but I'm short on time…and I can't afford to let the part slip between my fingers. Mom's life depends on it…besides…I'm not leaving here till they're safe. So I guess first things first" Ibuki thinks and decides on her priorities.

"Where is the Venomblade part?" She asks.

He gulps and inhales deeply "I…I can't tell…you…he'll kill me!" He stammers.

Ibuki hits his netherrealms with a powerful knee thrust. He bends forward a second after being hit. His face is flushed and he coughs. Ibuki snarls and pushes him against the wall by exacts pressure with the hand around his neck.

Ibuki's eyes narrow angrily "Listen up a**hole! I'm not in a good mood. So unless you wanna lose some vital parts, you better answer my question!" She threatens and knees the same area in emphasis.

He coughs and closes his eyes tightly "No…I can't…" he says.

A surge of anger passes through Ibuki, and her eyebrows tick irritably. "Believe me…I'll make you talk sooner or later. You better talk now while I'm calm, before you get on my nerves and feel the true power of my wrath" She says and takes out another Kunai.

He goes wide-eyed as he feel it touch the skin under his navel. "You know…Maybe becoming a woman will make you respect woman b*st*rd" She muses out loud.

"Ok! Ok! I'll talk!" He shouts fearfully.

The buzzing sound of the elevator reaching its target is then heard. The doors slide open. "HE…" He tries to shout before Ibuki slams a Kunai hilt into his solar plexus, forcing him to spew the air out of his lungs.

She presses basement again and the elevator doors slide shut before anyone seems to notice. Ibuki's eyes show her dissatisfaction at his actions. He looks at her fearfully.

"It's in the western wing of the base! I swear! Don't kill me please!" He shouts before Ibuki can touch him. She snarls and under her mask and sheathes her Kunai. She eyes him with apparent disgust in her eyes.

"Thank you, Have a nice day" She then says sweetly before ramming the back his head into the elevator wall. An audible thud is heard and the man slumps to the ground unconscious. Ibuki takes some rope out of her bag and binds him.

Then she exits the elevator when the doors slide open again. She hugs the wall with her back and listens carefully to the sounds around. She looks around her, and upon seeing the coast is clear begins sneaking toward the left corridor.

She moves on her tiptoes, to avoid making any tapping sounds against the metallic floor that might give her in to any nearby guards.

She heads toward the western side of the underground complex. While she does she keeps her senses at the ready, In case of an encounter. She walks in the shadows, the whole complex not illuminated properly, thus giving Ibuki her great advantage of stealth.

Meanwhile Chunli has been hauled in the opposite direction for the last couple of minutes.

"I can walk, you know!" She snaps, as they've been dragging her for the past few minutes.

Also due to the fact her knees and legs have been dragged across the metal floor. She now has various bruises and scratches on her once flawless bright skin. Tattered remains are the only things covering her legs from a few inches under the waist and beyond.

"Shut up b*tch" one of them says and punches her lower ribcage. She grunts and exhales sharply.

"You…punks…are so gonna…get your…a**es kicked" She mutters under her breath. For this she's hit again in the same spot, this time however the blow stronger and more painful. She coughs and clenches her teeth against the pain.

"I said shut up! You stupid B*tch!" He shouts. Chunli seeing her situation complies, vowing to exact revenge on them in her heart.

Soon they reach a door guarded by another two large Japanese men. Chunli looks up, her brown eyes narrowed angrily.

"Guest for the boss" one of men holding Chunli says. The other two nod and open the door. Then the two men throw Chunli inside; She lands on her front side, blocking her fall with her hand.

"What do we have here?" Yashira asks in an amused tone. The two large men who hauled Chunli enter the room and shut the door behind them.

"An Interpol agent Kumichou" One of them says and approaches the table, he puts Chunli's badge on it before bowing and then resuming his former place.

Chunli rises to a kneeling position and grimaces as her legs burn and pound with pain. "Hmmm…Agent Xiang" Yashira muses out loud and scans her badge curiously.

" "The" Chunli Xiang?" He asks her, turning to look at her while raising a brow. She doesn't answer and only glares at him coldly.

"My my you’re a pretty little flower, aren't you? But I know you're also a dangerous Venus flytrap as well. Hmm…take her to the prison cells and throw her in with the other two." He says and tosses the badge to Chunli in a mocking gesture. She picks it up and straps it to its original place while sneering hatefully at the Yakuza boss.

"I'm sure Interpol will pay a pretty penny to see their top agent returned safely. This is indeed a very rewarding week, Now I also have more money on the way and another woman to enjoy" He says and grins, licking his lips.

Chunli growls lowly and spits at him "I'd rather die and have my entrails burned!" She says in reply to his remark, eyeing him. Her face twisted in disgust and her eyes full of hot and pure hatred and rage.

He chuckles to himself lightly "She's a fiery little vixen, isn't she? Well…they all are, until the drugs are involved. Heh…take her away!" He says and turns around.

"You won't get away with this! You murdering scum!" She shouts as the two grab her again. She fights against their hold, but finds it difficult with her wounded legs.

"Mark my words! You'll pay for your crimes!" She shouts and her face twists with anger.

Yashira snaps his fingers "Silence her…she's ruining my serene office atmosphere" He says arrogantly. The two men nod "Hai Kumichou!" They say in unison.

They both begin hitting Chunli, punching her ribcage, kneeing her abdomen and hitting her back and face repeatedly. Around a minute later, Chunli is unconscious and lay limp in their hands. Blue bruises now covering her face, and blood oozing down a wound near her temple and from the side of her mouth.

He motions with his fingers in a "Carry on" motion and lights a cigarette for himself. The two nod and begin dragging the unconscious Chunli toward the cellblock where Sarai and Sakura are held.
