"Ngh..." Korra's eyes were slowly opening, a blurry vision greeting her. At first, it seemed as though everything had just come to an abrupt end. The world was spinning around her, and the light was shining through her eyelids. It was blinding her. The pain in her body was intense. The ache in her head was even worse, the pounding was unbearable. Slowly, things would come into view, her surroundings becoming clear. "What...?"
"Good morning." Someone was there to greet her. A nurse with a bright smile on her face and lovely pink hair. Her name was Nurse Joy and right beside her was a Pokemon by the name of Blissey. They were both glad to see her awake and alert.
"Where am I?" Korra asked, still a bit confused, not fully realizing where she was. But it was obvious to anyone that she was in a recovery room, and that the people who had been treating her had saved her life. The Avatar was recovering, but her condition was stable.
"The medbay. You've been out cold for a whole day." Nurse Joy responded. Korra had to process that, and after a moment, the realization of that dawned on her. It had felt like an eternity, yet also a mere second. How did she lose so much time?
"Thankfully, we were able to heal you even in such a bad state." Another voice spoke. That was Katara's.
"I-I...Ngh." Korra's throat was dry. But the thought of her being defeated was a bitter pill to swallow. She wasn't the type to let a loss stop her. Especially not from that monster. Ryuua. But that loss was devastating. She could not forget what had happened. And it was crushing.
"You're a little dehydrated." Nurse Joy would then give her a glass of water to quench that dryness. And once the refreshing taste of the liquid hit her lips, she couldn't help herself and drank the whole glass. It tasted better than ever. So nice, soothing and relaxing.
"Nemona told us all about what happened." Katara had to ask. After that, they were going to talk about how Korra was doing physically, and if any lingering effects were still present.
"Y-Yeah. That girl. Ryuua. A new Lust Entity. Took everything I had, and then some, to try and beat her." Korra would reply. "I just...I just couldn't..."
"Well, you're alright now." Erza walked over to Korra's bedside. "The important thing is that you're okay."
"..." Korra simply lowered her head, not saying anything else. She didn't want to admit that the creature had bested her, that the Lust Entity had won the battle. Even when the Avatar State didn't help at all. But the evidence of that defeat was right on her face. Her cheek had a bruise and her lip had a cut. And her clothes were ripped, torn to shreds in that brutal conflict.
But the worst was how Ryuua insulted her, calling Korra weak. And Korra hated that more than anything else.
"Ah! You're doing better, aren't you?" Just then, walking into the room were Asuka and Katsuragi. They stayed behind for the night despite not being apart of the Shining Valkyries. What a relief..."Asuka said. She smiled at the sight of the Avatar alive and well, not dead. "That was a crazy fight. You're a real tough one, aren't ya?"
"Mhm." Korra lightly responded.
"Now, you two. If it's not too much of a bother, could you maybe take us to your base of the Fighting Furies. We just met your faction after all." Erza requested.
"Of course! Our base is in a pretty secluded location, but don't worry, you can count on our discretion." Katsuragi promised, smiling at the group of women in the med-bay.
"It would be great to have us be alongside each other." Erza added. "Outside of the Snow Angels, we haven't interacted with any other factions. We know they exist but not once have we come across them or know what they're all for."
"That would be perfect, then!" Asuka chirped. "You'll love it. The girls are really nice, and they're all very friendly. You can learn a lot from each other." Asuka knew that her faction was full of specialized fighters with martial art skills to view and even learn from.
"But we also need to investigate that special Lust Creature. To think one of that power could be born so quickly..." Erza then thought back to Ryuua.
"There's no telling how many Lust Entities of that caliber have been made." Nico Robin said to her. "We don't exactly know what causes them to be made at the right moment. It seems to be random since the island is adapting."
"Then Robin. I need you and a few others to do some investigation on these new Lust Entities and how they come to be." Erza ordered. "Some of us will go with Asuka and Katsuragi to this Fighting Furies base. Korra. Rest up here until further notice."
And the plan was in motion.
Some would try and figure out how these new Lust Entities really work while some would go with Asuka and Katsuragi. The latter would involve the likes of Chun-li, Nemona and Katara. Korra was left behind to rest up some more, just for her own good.
But Korra disliked that. Mainly because of one thing. Her urge to prove Ryuua wrong. She gripped the sheets, wanting to encounter Ryuua a second time and prove that she wasn't weak to her. She could handle whatever came her way, no matter the odds. She was an Avatar, after all. That's what she believed.
"Get better, Korra." Nemona said before leaving the room. It was now just Nurse Joy and some other healers around. All of which were keeping an eye on the patient to ensure that no lasting injuries were present.
Korra did nothing else but lie there on her bed. Thinking. About a rematch with that beast. And once she got enough rest, Korra decided that she would do something.
-------
For others to head to the Fighting Furies base, they would need transportation instead of just walking all the way there. Luckily, they had the means of doing so. Bulma stood outside, having something for them.
"Alright. Here's a capsule for you all." It was a capsule. In this strange island, she was able to make a capsule here as well, showing that this place did favor everyone despite the kind of dangerous things that were in store. Bulma had quite a few capsules with her just for special instances and transportation to far places was one of them.
She would toss the capsule and soon, it would become a large vehicle that was meant to travel on land and in the sky. A rather futuristic-looking ship that was a yellowish in color with a blue stripe on its hull and a glass cockpit.
"The Flying Nimbus Capsule. Or just Flying Nimbus. Made by me, but was supposed to debut back in my universe. It's fine though." Bulma would introduce the group to the creation of hers.
She was confident in her work and would explain to them that this ship could travel at incredible speeds, even in the atmosphere of this island, and could fly for long periods of time without stopping to refuel. It was equipped with an advanced artificial intelligence, and a radar that could detect enemies, and could even fire a wide array of energy weapons and missiles, should the situation demand it.
"We can use this to reach the base, huh?" Katara would say. This was a handy invention, and would no doubt help in reaching their destination, wherever that might be. "It's so...smooth..."
"Never seen something so futuristic, have you, Katara?" Bulma said with a smile. Naturally, Katara and others that come from universes which aren't heavily developed would be amazed by such a thing. "Hop in, ladies. The seats should fit you. There should even be some food inside. Like snacks and drinks, that is."
Everyone would hop in, including Asuka and Katsuragi. As for who was controlling the vehicle, helping out today with the driving was Erza. She looked at the control, seeing that they were simplified for her and everyone else.
Bulma made sure of it. Then, she would turn the Flying Nimbus on. It started to hover and the wings on the side would unfold, allowing it to move properly and smoothly through the air. Soon, they were on their way, off to see the Fighting Fury Base.
As the vehicle soared through the air, the landscape below was breath-taking. Trees of all kinds and shapes, hills, rivers, and lakes passed beneath them in a blur. Birds and butterflies flew in and out of the canopy, adding a touch of color and life to the lush scenery. This island, while strange, was beautiful, that much was true. They were headed to a mountain in the distance. It would take a few hours to arrive at their destination, so they took advantage of the time to get to know each other.
Erza, being the leader, asked questions to the two newcomers. Asuka and Katsuragi. Asking about their faction. The girls talked about themselves, and what they were looking forward to the most on this island, which was the combat. But for Katsuragi, it was mainly the massive breasts everywhere.
"So you're all ninja." Katara said to the two of them. "The concept of a ninja is something some people back in my world used to think of. But it never really came to be."
"Well, we don't exactly look like actual ninjas from a first glance, do we?" Asuka grinned. "In fact, you could say that the only thing that makes us a ninja is that we're students from a Ninja school." It was the idea that was implanted in the young woman, that the training and lessons she had endured were a part of the greater good.
"Doesn't sound too strange. Compared to what each of us have back in our respective worlds." Lucy replied. "Are there others from your school that were dropped onto this island?"
"Mhm. But I'm also wondering if anyone from the other Ninja Schools showed up..." Asuka pondered, looking outside the window and at the vast forest and jungle below. "So, what about all of you?"
"We were brought together by Wonder Woman. She started our faction." Erza informed. "Each of us is a warrior of our own, in our respective worlds. Now, we're working together to survive on this island and hopefully find a way home."
"Huh. Sounds a lot like what our faction's doing, actually. Our leader wants to get us all out of here, but she's not all keen about becoming Lust Queen. That's the only way we can get out of here after all." Asuka rested her head on the seats.
"As if anyone of us want to have a title like that..." Raven groaned.
"I'll gladly take it!" Katsuragi raised her arm. It was no surprise she wouldn't mind having such a title.
"If you ask me, I think there's another way out of here." Nemona said, being the one to think that there might be a second option to get out of this island. "Not sure what it is, but I believe it for sure! And besides, this place isn't so bad. I get to challenge as many strong folks as I want! She would put her arm around Lucy and Mirko, having the widest grin on her face.
The Flying Nimbus Vehicle continued on its way to the base of the Fighting Furies, where the Shining Valkyrie members hoped to forge an alliance and possibly even a friendship between their two factions.
------
All the while, Ryuua was currently wandering. The Dragon Woman was roaming the forests and jungles, hoping to find any more prey. Any other girl to claim, and bring under her grasp. She was rather wild. Not just in the way she fought, but how she did anything else.
Ryuua would stop by a mountainous area, carrying something with her. That being meat, red, raw, bloody. Something she had hunted and gathered for herself. She was going to devour it and savor its flavor.
After a few minutes, the woman sat in a clearing, eating the animal carcass, ripping the flesh away from its bones and chewing hungrily, her sharp teeth and nails making short work of her meal.
Eating it raw didn't bother her at all. In fact, her saliva would act somewhat as a disinfectant, removing any parasites, toxins, or impurities from her prey. It also had a slightly numbing effect, allowing her to enjoy her meal without feeling pain from the bite of raw meat or the bitter taste of blood and bone marrow.
"Hmmm..." While eating, Ryuua looked down at her bulge, already feeling her natural Lust Entity instincts burning. She craved sex and pure lustful encounters, and that's all that was on her mind now.
"Need...Lust." Ryuua said. She had one girl in mind. Korra. The girl she was supposed to take as a prize and ravage. But she managed to escape after all. Ryuua knew she would have to get out there and satisfy her urges. As a Lust Entity, it was a her purpose.
------
The Iceshelf Tundra.
Home of the Snow Angels.
Here, the Snow Angels reside with every single one of their major bases located in this region. Their faction is led by Esdeath, who has taken over a large part of the island, from the frozen wastelands of the tundra to the icy peaks of the mountains, from the cold plains to the deep, dark waters of the seas.
The women of the Snow Angels have made the best of their new home for the past few months they've been here, constructing their bases and facilities out of ice and stone, utilizing their magic and technology to make their lives more comfortable and their environment safer.
And to improve in power, they were once again taking advantage of all the things they can within this island. And one of the more recent things is a Lust Persona. Discovered by Minerva, Esdeath ordered that they all try and tap into their own Lust Personas, the embodiment of their sexual desires, representing them through their deepest darkest fantasies.
So far, not many have managed to unleash their Lust Personas just yet, but so far, some were making progress. Such as the likes of Juri. Harley Quinn watched as her lover would beat down on a fellow Snow Angels, attempting to draw out that Lust Persona from within the girl.
The girl groaned while on the ground as Juri's Lust Energy was emanating from her body. Esdeath watched closely as the energy was showing itself, wondering if this was it. "Hmm..." She focused intensely on it.
"Haaah..." Juri stood there, feeling a sensation build up from within. Right now, the Lust Energy was looking into Juri's deepest sexual desires and fantasies. "Ngh..."
"J-Juri." The girl was barely getting herself off the ground. Her vision began to blur. Until finally, the energy manifested. Forming right behind her. Juri looked over her shoulder and her eyes widened. A large figure was towering behind her.
It was a sleek feminine figure with an eye color that matched Juri's Feng Shui Engine and her long black hair whips around her like tendrils. Its long, lean legs were accentuated with a tight-fitting bodysuit, and the curves of its hips and bust were accentuated in a similar manner. Its skin was pale and its hair was a bright, fiery red. A black collar was fitted snugly around its neck, and its arms had metallic cuffs.
"Whoo! That's what we're talkin' about!" Harleen cheered. The rest of the girls were amazed at the sight of the figure. Esdeath smiled.
"Very nice." Esdeath clapped, greatly pleased with Juri unlocking her Lust Persona. The girl's eyes fluttered, feeling the rush of the entity being brought to life. The energy felt different. Yet, somehow familiar. It felt good. Real Good.
"Hm. Only natural." Juri shrugged.
"Now then, let us see it in action." Esdeath ordered, wanting to see this Lust Persona go to work.
"Yes. Let's." Juri's smirk was wide on her lips. With her foot on the girl, she was ready to see what her Lust Persona was truly capable of. She pressed the girl's chest deeper onto the ground and the Persona moved, grabbing her, making her gasp in shock. Juri chuckled as she could control the Persona's actions. Now the poor victim was in its grip and it was not going to be pleasant.
"N-No. Please- Mmmfph!"
"Oh, come on. I bet it'll be short." Juri said before spitting. The Persona forced the girl's head forward, and opened its mouth. Out came a slimy, wet appendage that shoved its way into her throat. It went in and out of her.
It squished inside, pulsating in and out, fucking her face without any hesitation. All the girl could do was take it and drool around its cock, gagging and choking.
The vibrations from her moans were doing a lot of good, Juri licked her teeth and pulled away, letting her Lust Persona have its fun. Juri stepped back and the others saw the girl being held in place, her legs and hands bound in an invisible grip as the tongue kept on pounding her. Her moaning was constant and desperate.
The woman was clearly not used to this. Not at all. It was not easy on her, but it wasn't hard either. She had been through much worse. Besides, the whole point of the thing was to humiliate and dehumanize her, wasn't it?
Her cheeks bulged out from the tongue. The girth and length was not anything to scoff at. She had trouble sucking it down, her jaws strained to accommodate its thickness, and the taste was so strange and unfamiliar.
It was salty, yet not completely unpleasant, and the texture of it was smooth. Smooth, warm and fleshy, just the perfect kind of dick. And it kept pounding in and out, relentlessly, until suddenly she realized that the creature wasn't done with her.
The thick meat plunged in, burying itself in her throat and releasing its load of slime, flooding her insides with its fluids. There was no end to it, and soon she couldn't breathe anymore. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she began to lose consciousness. Everything became a blur. The tongue retracted and left a gaping hole where the tip of her tongue should have been, dripping and oozing the remaining cum and slime that filled her up.
After the display, the persona lifted its head, a thin line of drool still connecting her to its lips and the girl fell limp on the floor. But she was still conscious enough to feel her stomach distended from the massive amount of cum and spit that was filling it.
Juri laughed. "Nice. Well now, are you satisfied, General?" Juri asked, and the woman nodded, a faint smile crossing her face. She knew that this was exactly what the other woman had wanted. To show her superiority, to dominate her opponent and crush her utterly. And it had worked.
The group of women were amused. The lust in the room had gone up, that was for sure. Harley was giggling. Minerva was grinning, as usual. And Esdeath was smiling, enjoying the scene. She turned to the girl. The girl was lying on her back, panting heavily, and looking up at the monster that had raped her. Juri's Persona looked at her, a smug, superior look in its glowing eyes. Its big cock hung from her lips, twitching with post-orgasmic bliss.
"Well...Was that to your liking?" Unexpectedly, the Lust Persona actually spoke, and in a rather seductive, sultry voice. That surprised even its user. It was almost mocking the girl. She could hear the laughter of the rest of the girls in the background, and she felt the heat of shame in her cheeks. "Yeah..." the poor victim replied. "...It was..."
"You can talk?!" Juri looked up.
"But of course, I can. Why wouldn't I?" She chuckled. "My name is Vedreah, but call me Veyra."
"Hm. Strong sentience as well." Esdeath liked what she was seeing, nodding in agreement. "I assume you're similar to that of a Lust Entity, right?"
"I mean sorta." Veyra shrugged. "But, not really. Not at the same time, ya know." Her response was confusing to Esdeath and the others. "I'm not an actual living thing like them, so don't get confused. I am just a representation of the desires that lie deep inside my User." Veyra said, and gestured at Juri. "You could say, I'm just another you. Isn't that, right me?"
"Ugh. Please don't do that. Juri rolled her eyes.
"Very nice. Very nice indeed." Esdeath approved. "Well then, after seeing it in display, I do believe drawing out our own Lust Personas will be easier than expected. Harley Quinn. Camilla."
"Yep! On it!" Harley hopped off where she was sitting, knowing what was coming. Camilla walked over as the two were to try and unlock their own Lust Personas. As instructed earlier by their leader, they had to go into their minds and focus on the sexual desires that drove them forward, that fueled their hearts and bodies with energy.
Once that was done, the Lust Connection would bring out their Personas, and hopefully they could see their forms and powers in action. These two already had a ton of the Lust Connection within them so it was rather easy for them to be drawn out, but still, there were steps to take in order to awaken them properly.
Harley began first, her Persona emerging from her chest and taking the form of a voluptuous harlequin jester with split-tone hair, pink on one side, blue on the other, with twin oversized pigtails that float and curl like ribbons in the air.
Her body was decorated in a revealing latex-and-lace version of Harley's own jester outfit, with mismatched stockings, heart motifs, and glowing tattoos of playing card suits. Her face wass painted with a heart-shaped smile that was rather bright. And lastly, she was wearing a pair of gloves and held a large mallet in her hands.
"Hello! Hi!" She waved to everyone upon emerging, having a very excited personality. "You can call me Lady Quill or something, that would be nice! Anything you want, but I'd prefer that!"
"Looks exactly like you in a way..." Juri commented when looking at Lady Quill. The Lust Person of Harley. It had all the traits that the clown had, and was very bubbly in her actions and the tone of her voice, which sounded almost exactly like her User, albeit slightly more feminine and flirty in the process.
And then there was Camilla's. Hers was a regal, statuesque figure clad in a flowing dress made of black velvet and violet dragon-scale embroidery.
Her wings are larger and more majestic than Camilla's wyvern's, feathered with shadowy mist and laced with silver tips. A jeweled crown floats just above her head, bound by a halo of purple fire.
Her curves were more pronounced than Camilla's own, with glowing runes spiraling around her thighs and cleavage like elegant tattoos. She took a deep breath upon emerging, opening her eyes.
"Pleased to meet you. She spoke in a warm and calm voice. "You can refer to me as... Wyrmheart. If you wish."
Wyrmheart, compared to the Lust Persona that was Lady Quill, seemed to have a much more serious attitude and vibe, but one that was more welcoming and less hostile. Which was a good thing considering what her user could do. "Now, why were we called here?" She asked. "Surely you didn't call us for nothing, correct?"
"Of course not. This will be of great use. Well done, the both of you." Esdeath added. "I do believe we should take them for a spin, see what they're capable of. Juri. You and Harley are to head out on a mission with these. Gather what you can and find whoever you can. Especially if it's someone from the Shining Valkyries. The rest of you, continue bringing out your Lust Personas as soon as possible."
She ordered. Everyone obeyed her orders, including Juri, Harley, and their respective Personas, who went outside. Their goal was to bring back a woman that they had captured and bring her in, and they were to use their newfound abilities in the process. Meanwhile, those within the Snow Angels were going to continue bringing their own Personas out, to serve under their Queen. They had a lot to do now.
------
Meanwhile, the few members of the Shining Valkyries were near the Fighting Furies base. It looked to be located in a mountain pass as the Flying Nimbus Vehicle moved through it, going over a beautiful river below that was clear and full of life. And right up ahead as the base of the Fighting Furies, sitting there near the river.
It was a massive japanese temple surrounded by a giant wall. Towers and pagodas could be seen and the front gates were open, and the doors were closed. There were guards standing watch and keeping a lookout. They were all female and wore various kinds of clothes, but mostly traditional martial arts outfits or similar. Some wore their own clothes and some had no weapons while others had swords or spears or bows. Many were different races, shapes, sizes, and ages. However, most seemed young.
"Oohoooo!" This place looked right up Nemona's alley as she pressed her face against the windows. "This place is for sure all about battling !"
"Here's our base. It was pretty lucky for all of us that this building was already built before we got here." As uka explained to her. Korra was behind the controls and landed the Flying Nimbus onto a large stone platform. "We have rooms and training facilities and a dojo and baths and a dining hall. It has everything."
The Flying Nimbus stopped moving and the door opened. Erza and the girls stepped outside, followed by Nemona, and were immediately greeted by the guards. They were young women in their early twenties, dressed in ninja gear and carrying katana swords on their backs. Both were smiling and seemed happy to see the newcomers.
"It seems like you've brought new people along, too. Welcome to the Fighting Fur ies Base. We hope that your stay will be comfortable." One guard said, bowing respectfully. Nemona returned the gesture.
Soon, the girls followed her to a huge set of double doors that were guarded by two women dressed in the same uniform. Upon entering the chamber, this place did not dissappoint with what it was all about. This place was massive, with several levels and floors, with stairs leading up to each floor. The main area had an enormous wooden statue of a naked female warrior, kneeling in a meditating position. Her skin was carved from dark brown wood, her long hair flowed down her back, and her arms were crossed in her lap. On either side of her sat smaller statues of various animals; wolves, tigers, lions, bears, snakes, and so forth.
But what really stuck out were the small training spots that could be found in this massive interior . Each had a group of females sparring with one another. Grappling and throwing, kicking, and punching, using their bodies to fight in a way that would make anyone proud of how much work these women put in to perfect their skills. But, of course, the majority of them had no qualms about doing so, as they didn't care about their appearance. Some even went barefoot to feel the earth beneath their feet and get in touch with nature.
"Wow! You have to train me here!!" Nemona exclaimed. She couldn't believe how big this place was, and she wanted to explore every nook and cranny.
" Nice..." Mirko nodded in approval, viewing all the sparring sessions happening in the various spots . "This looks good."
" Hyaaah!" One of the girls screamed out as Nemona and Mirko focused on her. The battle this girl was taking part in seemed rather intense.
"Ah! There's Ms Makoto and Tiffany!" Asuka pointed out the two of them. The first girl who let out that powerful scream was a girl by the name of Makoto, barefoot, clad in her traditional white karate gi with the sleeves torn off.
"Here's our base. It was pretty lucky for all of us that this building was already built before we got here." As uka explained to her. Korra was behind the controls and landed the Flying Nimbus onto a large stone platform. "We have rooms and training facilities and a dojo and baths and a dining hall. It has everything."

"Ah! There's Ms Makoto and Tiffany!" Asuka pointed out the two of them. The first girl who let out that powerful scream was a girl by the name of Makoto, barefoot, clad in her traditional white karate gi with the sleeves torn off.
"Hm...? Ah! Makoto?!" Chun-li instantly recognized her, knowing who Makoto was. Another girl from her universe here. Her opponent stood up shakily, rubbing their shoulder
"Ow...!" Tiffany Lords was her name .
"You could've gone easy on me, ya know?"
"Again. You dropped your center. You can't fight from the waist up alone!" Makoto shouted . Without pause, she lunged forward—another blur of motion, this time snapping into a low sweeping kick that forced her sparring partner to roll away or be flattened.
Just outside the ring, Tiffany Lords stood leaning against a training post, rolling her shoulders and stretching her arms lazily. Her red, white, and blue cheer-style outfit was unmistakable short jacket, high boots, fingerless gloves but her posture said it all: athlete, brawler, and not to be underestimated.
"Makoto's in her zone again," Tiffany chuckled, adjusting her headband. "She gets all serious when people mess up their footing. I swear, it's like watching a drill sergeant who does backflips ."
Chun-li looked around, seeing if she could spot another familiar face around. And indeed she did. Just past Makoto's training circle, another commotion drew attention. A pair of figures were in the middle of an explosive sparring match, attracting a small crowd of onlookers with every slam, dodge, and power move they threw at each other.
One of them was unmistakable to Chun-li. Rainbow Mika, the flamboyant pro-wrestler from Japan, in full gear as always, whipping through the air as she flipped her opponent with a perfect suplex.
Her opponent, however, was no pushover. Asuka Kazama, the no-nonsense martial artist from Osaka, caught herself mid-fall, kicked off the wall behind her, and flipped back to her feet with a grunt.
"Urgh..." Asuka rubbed her head, getting her bearings. "...I can't believe you've got that much power behind those slams of yours. How the heck do you manage that?"
"I'm an inspiration to the fans," R. Mika laughed. "My idol is the Zangief . So of course, the stronger, the better!" She flexed her bicep proudly, then rolled her shoulders. " But that reversal was really something!"
"Yeah. But I promise you won't get a good hit like that again! Asuka Kazama rushed in, throwing a punch. Rainbow Mika narrowly jumped back to avoid it, her long blond ponytail fluttering from the movement. Asuka, in turn, used her momentum from her missed blow to pivot on her foot, launching into a powerful spinning heel kick that sent her opponent sprawling onto her back.
But even though Mika was knocked back, she had a way to bounce back. As she slid on the floor, Mika narrowed her eyes, switching up her stance. And that was done by suddenly spanking her own hip, letting out a playful squeal in the process. It was the same kind of playful spanking she did during fights, one that acted as a sort of confidence boost.
A confidence boost that made her go for her signature flying hip attack . Mika launched forward, propelled by her sheer determination to win. Asuka grimaced, seeing Mika's rear come towards her. She put her arms up to block, the ass connecting with her arms with impressive force and pushing her away a bit, leaving the ground to dust a bit. After that, Asuka lowered her hands and blew the resulting cloud of dirt and dust away, giving a proud little laugh.
"Not bad. Not bad at all."
"Do you mind if I head down there and speak with some of them?" Chun-li asked.
"Oh, sure, sure!" The Shinobi Asuka nodded her head. "You can all do so before we can take you to our leader. If you want."
And with that, they would do just that. Chun-li and all the others would check out the place some more and in the case of Chun-li interact with these two familiar folks , hoping to learn more.
"Tah!" Makoto and Tiffany continued their sparring session. They had been going at it for quite some time now, but neither was showing any signs of slowing down. Makoto, the smaller fighter, was quick on her feet and easily dodged her opponent's attacks. Meanwhile, Tiffany, a woman with an impressive reach, was doing her best to keep Makoto on her toes.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, the two fighters were exhausted. "Enough. Enough already. I don't know about you, but I am ready to call this a draw." Tiffany wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiling at Makoto. Makoto nodded, taking a deep breath. She was surprised at how evenly matched she was with Tiffany. Despite their size difference, the blonde had been a tough adversary, matching her blow for blow. Makoto respected her skill, and was glad that the match had ended without any injuries.
Chun-Li approached, clapping. "That was some fight. You girls were great!"
" Ah! Chun-li!" Makoto gasped upon seeing that familiar face, the martial artist and the Interpol officer having known each other for a good while. And she wasn't alone. When Chun-li's name was screamed out, it prompted Rainbow Mika to stop as well.
"Chun-li? Did she say Chun-li?" Mika turned her head to look and then let out a loud squeal of joy, her eyes widening and sparkling. A happy R. Mika was running over. "AH! IT IS!" Quickly, she bolted over, abruptly ending her sparring match with Asuka Kazama.
"Ah...Hey!" The Kazama Family member raised her arms up, a little confused that Mika was leaving mid-match, but at least it wasn't due to a loss of consciousness. Still though. That was a bit of a weird way of stopping a fight.
"It's so nice to see you two again." Chun-li would bow to them both and they both would do the same to her.
"It is. I didn't think you would also be suddenly brought here to this strange island." Mak oto was curious. How long has it been since she has been her and yet she was unaware that a famous friend was on this island too. "I hope you've found a decent faction to join."
"Ah...You're Chun-li!" Soon, Tiffany would recognize Chun-li as well, but the latter didn't recognize Tiffany at all.
"Oh. Do I know you?" Chun-li asked.
"No. But I'm from the same universe like Makoto and Rainbow Mika. I've seen you on TV here and there. I'm a bit of a fan, if you ask me. " Tiffany bowed to her .
"If you all are here, I wonder how many more of us showed up here? I already know that Juri is here, being a part of the Snow Angels." Chun-li wondered. "It's still wonderful to see a few familiar faces here."
"Hey, hey!" Nemona suddenly came bolting over, coming to a screeching halt. "Ahem! If it's not a big problem, any of you, I'd like to have a battle with you ! Any of you!" Naturally, this place was only bringing out Nemona's great urge to battle to greater heights . "Please?!"
"Calm down, will you?" Mirko placed her hand on Nemona's shoulder. "Honestly, so excitable. You remind me a lot of me when I was younger ." Mirko chuckled.
" You're still like that a lot of the times..." Chun-li pointed out.
"If it's a spar you wish to have, then I don't see why none of us would reject." Makoto replied. "After all, this place helps strengthen ourselves to prepare for the worst the island brings ."
"Well, you're free to do so." Erza spoke to Nemona. "The rest of us will go and meet with the leader here." With that, Erza, Katara, Lucy and Raven would head to the leader of this faction and discuss things, leaving just Nemona. Mirko and Chun-li would go along, but they stuck around here with Nemona .
"Based on what you said...I assume you all have found ways to resist the Lust Connection?" Chun-li asked.
"That's right." Makoto confirmed. All this training wasn't just a way to get stronger but a way to resist the Lust Connection's effects. This place was seemingly built for that after all.
"Hm. Then in that case...Mirko. Nemona. Why not have a sparring session with some of them?" Chun-li suggested. And that was music to both of their ears .
"YES!" Nemona cheered while Mirko just nodded. It was official. As for who they would face, Makoto and Chun-li already instinctively decided to take each other on. As for Mirko's opponent, she would point right at Rainbow Mika, selecting her. And for Nemona, she had her eyes on Asuka Kazama.
Once decided, it was time for them to get into position. Plus, this would help greatly with the Lust Connection, according to Makoto . A good way to resist its influence on a girl was to train her mind, soul, and body, as well. And fighting would help a ton in that regard.
