Maki caught one of Poison's punches and used the momentum to swing her around and down, landing on top of her with her ribs, driving the wind out of the Mad Gear criminal. Poison wheezed as Maki used her own handcuffs against her.
"Alright, so that's so many charges, I don't think you'll ever get out of prison." she said. Maki had hardly been touched by Poison. A couple good blows had been landed, but Maki's body was toned and muscle definition was plain to see on her, especially her arms. Maki had barely felt being hit. It would take a lot more than Poison's flailing to do any damage.
As Maki was fighting with Poison to get the handcuffs on her, a large shadow fell over her, almost like an eclipse. Suddenly, she was being forcefully pulled off of Poison... and easily too. Much too easily!
She turned around just in time to be struck across the jaw with the hardest punch she'd ever been laced with. Her head snapped to the side, her body seemed to relax and her knees gave out as she collapsed to the ground on her side.
"A lot more than Poison" had just arrived, and was pissed off.
It was Hugo Andore, the freakish monster that had found a home in Mad Gear as hired muscle.
Maki blinked a couple times, wondering how she'd ended up horizontal all of a sudden. She didn't remain that way for long as Andore reached down and grabbed her by her neck, hauling her up and lifting her overhead in a hanging choke hold.
He held her aloft like this, his grip around her neck like iron. She kicked out at Andore, catching him squarely in the side, but he ignored the blow. Determined, she kept kicking. One, he could ignore. Several would pile up and would start to hurt anybody. She was right, and after four more kicks, she got a reaction from him.
She suddenly wished she hadn't, as that reaction was him snarling, then drawing back his fist with the arm that was not holding her, and then ramming it into her hard stomach like a piston.
Maki was pretty tough, as her trained body had been conditioned very well. One time, a Mad Gear member had hit her with a baseball bat across the stomach. She absorbed the hit, even though it hurt, and was able to counterattack into what led to an arrest.
This was so much worse than that baseball bat. The Andore-powered punch slammed into her stomach and immediately crushed her body's defense. She wheezed to the point of choking and gagging from the punch as her body seemed to implode from the blow, wrapping around Andore's fist.
Her body uncurled, and was hammered again. Another jolt of pure pain shot through her.
"S-stop..." she sputtered.
He did not stop.
A third punch to the stomach collapsed something and caused her to spit up a mouthful of blood. The blood seemed to amuse Andore, as he drew back again.
"No... please..."
He wasn't having any of it, and a fourth punch caused white spots in her vision as the pain began to set off alarms in her brain. More blood was coughed up.
Yet another jackhammer blow broke a rib. Now she drooled blood constantly as her internal injuries piled up at an excessive rate.
"Andore end fight!" he yelled in her face. Oh good... he was letting her go...
He let her go, alright. He let her go.... but not before slinging her downwards to the ground in a particularly vicious chokeslam. It was so brutal her body actually cracked the pavement where she hit. The impact knocked her out instantaneously; she was unconscious even before her body had settled.
Andore picked the unconscious Bushin ninja up with one arm, and the handcuffed criminal with the other, slung the pair of women over his shoulders and headed toward their base. Surely Retu would be pleased at the capture of Maki, and surely a promotion would be in the cards....
