The crowd’s roar dies the moment she plants her bare foot on the mat. A spotlight cuts through the smoke, tracing the outline of Juri as she stretches languidly—arms overhead, hips tilting, a wicked smile curling her lips.

*Juri wore a tiny, sleeveless, cropped top in white with pink trim and a green zipper on the back. Black body tapes are threaded under the top, creating a spider pattern that extends down her torso and crotch. For the bottom, she chooses unconventional black baggy pants with pink and neon teal trim and a distinctive large crotch cutout that reveals her white tights underneath. The pants also have green zippers on the medial side of the legs. Her right eye remains purple, but her left eye is green.

Juri's black bracelets with neon teal spikes adorn her wrists and ankles, with a matching spiked choker around her neck. Loosely wrapped around her waist is an extra-long black belt with pink trim and a Taiji motif on the buckle. Her fingernails and toenails are painted neon teal. She also carries a smartphone in a light pink case with two horns to match her hairstyle visible on her hip, she taunted the the guy she was fighting with her foot, only to laugh and deliver a bone crushing roundhouse twisting kick, standing on her one foot, while her other leg was raised, left eye glowing.

The last opponent lies motionless in the corner, still twitching from the final kick that shattered the cage floor. Juri tilts her head, her glowing eye flickering like a heartbeat.

Her voice purrs through the silence, low and mocking. “Aw… already broken? And here I was just getting warmed up.”

She kicks the limp body aside, glancing toward the gate as it creaks open again. A newcomer steps through. “Another toy already? Heh… fine. Let’s see if you can scream louder than the last one.”

Juri slides her foot across the floor, the soft scrape echoing through the cage. Her grin widens—feral, electric, beautiful. “Welcome to my playground. Try not to disappoint me.”

The purple light of the Feng Shui Engine ignites— —and the fight begins.
