Chapter 8 - Monkey See, Monkey Do

Sarah: "Saved me the trouble of having to look for you."

Bonnie: "Same here."

Sarah:"You guys can leave. I want her all to myself."

The two people following Sarah go off towards the smoke area. Bonnie kicks her shoes off.

Sarah: "Beg now and I might take it easy on you."

Bonnie: "I'd rather die."

Sarah puts on brass knuckles. Bonnie holds out the staff. As they begin circling around, the wind blows heavily. But suddenly, it stops. Bonnie and Sarah rush towards each other and attack each other. Bonnie tries jousting her stick forward but Sarah manages to dodge to the side. She then runs towards Bonnie and tries to punch her. Bonnie dodges the punch and drops the stick as she goes for the ground. She lands on her hands and grabs Sarah's arm with her legs. She flips Sarah to the ground and stands back up, picking up her stick.

Sarah: "Ugh... Lucky."

Sarah stands back up and runs towards Bonnie. She throws a punch and fakes out but sends another one, causing the second blow to hit Bonnie.

Bonnie (in head): "I managed to block but it still hurts. I gotta be careful."

Bonnie starts evading Sarah's punches and kicks. She flips back and in mid air, she swings her staff at Sarah who manages to grab it and pull her close. Sarah punches Bonnie in the stomach, which she couldn't block in time. Bonnie is sent back a bit and falls to the ground. Sarah walks up to the staff behind herself, and picks it up.

Sarah: "Hmm."

As Sarah turns back to Bonnie, her legs get swept off the ground. Bonnie jumps up and elbows Sarah on the ground. She kick flips up and takes her staff back.

Bonnie: "You're less than I thought."

Sarah gets angry. She stands up and they continue fighting. Sarah throws punches and Bonnie dodges. Bonnie attempts to hit Sarah with the staff but Sarah dodges as well. Sarah tries the fake out punch again but Bonnie goes down and tries sweeping the leg with the staff. Both of them attack and Sarah hits Bonnie in the stomach and Bonnie hits Sarah in the face. Both of them fall backwards on the ground, but they force themselves back up.

Bonnie (in head): "Need to make this quick. Those knuckles hurt like hell."

Bonnie rushes towards her and as Sarah punches, Bonnie uses the staff to hang in the air avoiding the punch. She then kicks Sarah right in the head, dropping her to the ground, bleeding from the side. Bonnie, on her feet, walks upto Sarah.

Bonnie: "Guess I wi-"

Sarah quickly jumps to Bonnie's leg and injects her. Bonnie jumps back and pulls out the needle.

Bonnie (in head): "What the hell did she inject me with?... Dammit, I'm..."

Sarah gets back on her feet, laughing.

Sarah: "How does it feel?"

Sarah proceeds to rush at Bonnie. On the defensive, Bonnie blocks as Sarah kicks her back.

Bonnie (in head): "Her kicks hurt too. How much gear does she have?"

Sarah: "You're weak. And you'll always be weak."

Bonnie stands up with the help of her staff.

Bonnie (in head): "I can't see straight... It's hard to move as well."

Sarah runs up to Bonnie. She throws a punch and Bonnie blocks but Sarah throws a kick and it hits Bonnie's knee.

Bonnie: "Argh!"

Sarah: "That's right. Scream a bit more."

Sarah lands hit after hit, punching Bonnie in the face, arms, abdomen, chest, and kicks her knee again. Bonnie beaten up, attempts to hit her with the staff but Sarah blocks and grabs it. She proceeds to kick Bonnie back and pull the staff from her. Bonnie coughs up blood as she is sent back towards the ground. Sarah breaks the staff on her leg. She walks up to Bonnie on the ground.

Sarah: "I would kill you, but it's way more fun to stare at you like this. Losers always lose. It's how the world works. What was that you always say? 'I'll be the strongest'. Haha!"

Sarah starts walking away.

Bonnie (in head): "...Am I weak?"

Bonnie remembers a time with Kassius. He had kicked her to the floor and she had raised her hands up.

Bonnie: "I give."

Kassius: "Why are you giving up?"

Bonnie: "Because I can't win."

Kassius: "But you could've kept going, no?"

Bonnie: "Yeah, but it was going nowhere. I would've still lost."

Kassius: "How do you know?"

Bonnie: "Look, I just accept the loss and move on. Besides, we're just practicing."

Kassius:."Well, me personally, I don't stop until I can't move. That way I know I put my all into it, you know?"

Back in normal time, Bonnie slowly starts getting back up.

Bonnie (in head): "I won't stop, especially not against someone like her."

Sarah: "Hmm?"

Sarah turns around to see Bonnie, dripping with blood, but on her feet.

Sarah: "Guess you can't teach an old monkey new tricks. I'll force you to sit if that's what you want."

As Sarah runs up and throws a punch at Bonnie, Bonnie mimics her and throws a punch. With their fists clashing, Bonnie's knuckles start bleeding and Sarah's arm starts hurting as well.

Sarah: "Argh! What the hell? Are you crazy?"

Bonnie: "Just following your lead."

Bonnie starts punching Sarah and Sarah tries her best to evade punch after punch but gets hit a couple of times. Sarah tries to kick back but Bonnie kicks back. Both their legs collide and Bonnie's leg starts bleeding and Sarah's leg starts hurting.

Sarah (in head): "Is she crazy?! She punched back against a brass knuckle and kicked back against a metal shoe. Is she trying to break her bones?"

Bonnie: "What's wrong? Are you afraid now?"

Sarah: "Why you!"

Bonnie (in head): "This is it."

Bonnie and Sarah run up to each other and punch. Both their fists collide, and Bonnie overpowers Sarah, pushing her arm back. Bonnie's fingers fracture and she feels the pain but ignores it as she steps back and kicks Sarah directly to the chest, sending her back coughing a heavy amount of blood. Sarah hits the coach and goes to the floor, losing consciousness.

Bonnie: "That's three."

Bonnie (in head): "I guess losers can wi..."

Bonnie falls towards the ground and collapses, losing consciousness as well. In the south west area, a group of people chase Arnold.

Guy 1: "Get back here!"

As the group closes in, a guy from ahead pops down from a tree and attempts to jump Arnold. Arnold jumps and wheel kicks him mid air. Arnold lands and continues running.

Arnold (in head): "Just how persistent can they be? There shouldn't be too many in my set left. I've taken out like four so I'm probably saf-"

A guy hiding on the ground grabs Arnold's legs and trips him. The group catches up to him and they circle him.

Guy 1: "You thought you could run forever, huh?"

Arnold: "Is there a reason you're all targetting me?"

Guy 1: "You think you're funny? After what you did to my brother in the first part?"

Arnold: "He deserved it."

Guy 1: "Apologise and I might not kill you."

Arnold: "I won't."

Guy 1: "Why you-"

Kassius: "Where is everybody?! I can't find anybody! Hello?!"

Arnold looks and sees Kassius.

Arnold (in head): "There he is."

Guy 1: "Someone go deal with that guy! And yo- what? Where did he-"

Arnold rushes past the group and heads directly towards Kassius.

Arnold: "Good luck."

Kassius: "You too."

Arnold throws his knife to the side. Both of them come up next to each other and leap towards one another, throwing a kick that collides their legs. In the north area of the woods, the two people that had left Sarah approach the fire.

Person 1: "See anyone yet?"

Person 2: "Not yet. It's all cl-"

Jinsoku: "Boo!"

Person 2: "Ahhhh! He's here!"

Jinsoku uses his rope and ties one of their arms. The other tries pulling out a knife but Jinsoku stands behind the tied up person, using him like a shield.

Jinsoku: "Now what's the need for that?"

Jinsoku pushes the tied guy to the side and rushes in quick. He knocks the knife out of the guy's hand. He spins and kicks him into a tree, knocking him out.

Jinsoku: "And that's my target. Ok, I think I've used this spot plenty. I should- argh!"

Jinsoku holds his head in pain.

Jinsoku: "It's aching so much... Where's the meds? I need to get ou-"

Before he could notice, Marcus appears out of the blue and kicks Jinsoku directly in the chest, sending him into a tree. Jinsoku coughs up blood.

Marcus: "Looks like my feeling was right."

Jinsoku (in head): "No, not now. I need my meds!"

Jinsoku reaches for his pocket, and panics, as he feels all over.

Marcus: "Looking for something?"

Jinsoku (in head): "Where... where are they? I'm 100% sure I had them... No, no, no. I gotta get away before I do it again."

Marcus and his group circle Jinsoku.

Marcus: "Don't worry. I'll be fair. One on one. What do you say?"
