>Forge to food/beat up some raiders for their food
Bastards get the good picks and we deserve more than them!

>>5168579
>beat up some raiders for their food
Now, That's one hell of an idea...

You've been part of a fair few raiding parties over the years since the bombs dropped, But you never stuck along too long, Many of them had turned out to be rape gangs...

You are scum, You're proud of being scum... But given what happened to your lost love... The way she died, Forcing yourself on a woman was the one and only line you wouldn't cross. you, A man who's killed even runts without an ounce of guilt for a fair share of water and food.

Such is the life of a mercenary.
Tracking gangers is an easy task, Bastards never had a thing for subtlety, much less long term planning., Not like you did,
Eventually, you follow a long streak of bike tracks through the wastes, To a small camp full of raiders.

You count about a dozen, Armed with spears and machetes, Not to mention your choice of bikes to pilfer.

You approach casually,, Not bothering to hide.

Though you are the weakest of your brothers (though you loath to admit it) Your training in hokuto shinken has made you invulnerable to most forms of harm that wasn't delivered by a martial artist of equal caliber.

"Hey! Stop where you are! " Shouts one of the gangsters.

And so the fun begins...

ow do you go about this?

>>5168647
Stop. Look behind you. Start again.

>>5169550
A simple enough gag to play. after looking behind you , you continue on your way to the camp

"Hey! I said for you to stop!" Shouts the bandit, before getting a poke to the chest as you walk by casually. He was just about to pull his weapon on you, before his shoulders begin to swell, before popping, letting his limbs fall to the ground.

The other bandits seeing this, Take offense. But really, they're quick to be dealt with, to the very same degree as the first guy.

You feel no guilt, They were gangers, The wastes were better off without them, and now their goods were in your hands, Enough food and water to last a week, If only you could carry it all....

Then again, You could always just make this place into a one man settlement all your own...

>>5169853
Hang around for that week. Get a feel for the area (local big dicks, local pencil dicks, career opportunities etc). Then grab a good bike and as much gas as you can siphon and bring along and bugger off once the food runs out.

>>5169987
You spend the week patrolling the area, the rumor mill feeding you a number of names big and small, And an interesting proposition

>Major gangs and their leaders
the four-gates brigade, Lead by Ushio of the North gate, They'd managed to form their own little fiefdom out here in the wastes, Formed of four villages that used to be trade partners.

The bright millennium Lead by Zatchu the wild axe, he's been kidnapping women and girls to try and 'bring humanity to it's second bloom', It didn't take a genius to realize he was just a rapist hiding behind the guise of a visionary.

>Minor gangs and their leaders.

The Muttpack, Lead by Ziggan The pit
A band of about twelve wastelanders, Used to be a millitia for a long destroyed village who are now out for revenge more specifically against the bright millennium.

The blue maiden brigade, Lead by Hanako 'the amazon'
A group of warrior women that broke from slavery, Protecting children, the elderly, and non-warrior men from their old slave camp

While you were scoping out the local village for rumors, You got one particularly interesting job offer.

A man who was about to get hitched approached you, In the middle of your week of recon.
"My soon to be brother in law is a capable fighter of his own, But given my wedding will have so many things of value i'm worried he won't be able to handle a potential raid by himself, I've heard of you mister 'demon for hire' As has most of the wasteland, So maybe your presence will scare off any raiders by that reputation alone?"

You told him you'd think on it. , And he was gracious enough to give you a whole month to contemplate his offer. as that's when his wedding would be taking place.

He offered six gallons of water, and a week of food and medicine for your troubles

>>5171207
Not a bad deal. If we're alive at the end of the month, we'll show up. Meanwhile, let's have a look at one of those fiefdoms the Four gates are running.

>>5171404
that's a fine and fair enough idea. After hearing what what you knew of the world of the new century, You figured it'd be for the best if you took out any would be conquerors, Less competition for if you decide to go the path Raoh went and took.

The only reason you haven't made a crew of your own was the fact you'd eventually have to face off against him... You were no coward, But you also weren't an idiot. Raoh was a stone hearted motherfucker, You former brotherhood wouldn't mean a thing to him. It would either be falling under his thumb, Or dying...

But, Back on track. A dead gang meant thankful villagers, Thankful villagers meant places you could rest your head on the regular, Rather than temporary holdout's like this one you ransacked one week ago.

After siphoning some gas, and using some canteens to stock up on water, You head out in the direction of the Four gates brigade's territory

Given they're a bit to the north east of you you figure either the western or southern village would be the best place to start.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

>>5171717
Flip a coin.
1 Heads/West
2 Tails/South

>>5172188
Go West, young man.

>>5172188
Heading to the western settlement, Due north of your position, Your new bike proves reliable, Charging through the sands as if it were a freshly paved road

Upon turning up at the settlement, It's very clear How strong the gang influence is. The village having a graffiti'd wall with the words "Western gate" being the focal point between two complex designs, reminiscent of celtic body paint.

You make y our way into the settlement by jumping over the wall, Leaving your bike and supplies behind for the moment , Being the practitioner of an assassin's art gave you supreme training in stealth, as such, you moved silently street to street.

The locals seem to have been right and truly enslaved here, You look about for the one in charge, Given the leader of this little group had the moniker 'of the north gate' it stood to reason there would be a head for each one of the others.

as you sneak about, You hear something, The sound of running and a woman's scream.
It's not usually your business what goes on, And interfering would give away your position before you can take out the boss here.
On the other hand, Thankful women make for good bed mates. and stealing a girl's heart means you get access to every ounce of gossip she hears in the time between now and then...

>>5172327
I never knew I needed this quest, Jagi has always been one of my favorite Hokuto characters, and I'm glad to see his one-shot getting some love

>Go save the damsel in distress, why not play the part of the hero? Hokuto Shinken is supposed to be invincible after all

>>5172458
You move swiftly to the source of the noise,, To see an eight foot tall man chasing a young woman, No doubt a part of the gang, Given his manner of dress.

Just as he manges to tackle the pretty young woman down to the ground, You make your move, As the large man moves to strip the woman, You step from the shadows of an alleyway

However, With the fact that there are witnesses. Using Hokum would bring undue attention to yourself. , You instead up to point our shotgun to the side of the man's head.

"Hey there buddy, Havin' fun?" You ask catching the attention of the would be rapist,
he moves quickly, trying to get out of the aim of your shotgun, But you simply adjust your aim in response.

"What the?!" asked the giant "D-don't you know who i am? I'm member of the Four-gates brigade! You're making a bi-"
One shot through the gut, Gore spilled through his abdomen onto the street.

The woman lied on the ground, Sobbing in terror at what almost happened to her, t's an annoyance, But since you just snuffed out a member of the Local gang You supposed you had bigger issues to worry about, As dozens of armed men rush toward you.

>>5172458
same

>>5172505
How does Ken deal with this crap?
Pick up the girl, run.

>>5173479
You wouldn't know, And you'd rather not think on it, As far as you're concerned he's somewhere dead of radiation sickness...

You quickly grab the girl and book it, Using your mighty legs to stay ahead of the game until you manage to lose them around a corner.

The girl, still sobbing, speaks up
"T-thank you" She whimpers, almost patherically.
"You can thank me after i take out the trash here." You reply, s you look around the corner for any more thugs,

The coast is far from clear, But it's nothing you couldn't handle with a few shotgun blasts. The problem is staying anonymous enough to pull it off...

You don't want to, but Hokuto might be your best option here.

>>5173853
Well, as long as using Hokuto Shinken leaves no witnesses that should be pretty anonymous. Except for the girl.
And as hilariously on brand as it'd be for Jagi to murder someone in the process of rescuing them we probably don't want to do that just yet.
Tell her to close her eyes until it's safe.

>>5174179
Point taken,
"Hey, girl, Shut your eyes and don't open them til i give the okay" You say, As she hesitates "Dammit! Just do as i say," You continue as she yelps and complies.

You exit your position, Coming out in the open to the sight of well over a dozen men armed with machetes and crowbars.
"Heh! Looks like our odent came outta his hiding place! Big mistake if you ask me!" one of the gangsters says to you and his buddies alike.
"Yeah! Way to make our job easier asshole!" Another shouts as he charged you with a crowbar, Slamming it onto your shoulder, Only for it to bend in half, "H-huh?"

Before he can even react, You jab your thumbs into either side of his head, And send a knee into his chin, Sending him flying as the other men glared at you
"Get him!" One of the men shout, As you hold up a finger.
"Hang on there, Be polite and let your friend get up! You'll need the help!"


The gang was a bit confused as the man you hit got up.
"Y-You bastard!" He shouts, rushing at you with his fists before he paused, Howling in pain, as his shoulders and head inflated painfully, before popping like a zit., Leaving the other men disgusted and terrified.

The instant one turned to leave, He became your next target, You moved fast, Faster than they could see, and kicked him in his temple, Hard enough to send him flying into the platoon of other gangsters, And leaving them al a bloody mess, You turn to the survivors
"Alright you primitive screwheads, This is how it's gonna work! we're gonna have a bit of a Kumite, You toss your weapons down, And fight me hand to hand like men, Whoever manages to win gets to go free" You say with a deep surge of killing intent flowing from you.

They, seeing how you turned their buddies into a large mass of chunky salsa with a single kick, And having seen how fast you were, reluctantly comply

>>5174354

Hey QM, I didn't know enough about HNK to really appreciate this, but I read/followed and enjoyed it. I think you did a damn good job even if this was short lived.

>>5179979
im still willing to write

>>5174354
Time for the best Hokuto Trick of all: Needles! Acupuncture gets all up in those pressure points, ensuring they're pressed even when you take your time making sure they suffer as much as possible.

>>5180934
"Eh, you guys think these are weapons? Nah, they're the only thing keeping you in one piece!"

Sidenote, I wonder if Jagi is actually good at Hokuto Medicine if he has to keep himself alive with that wound of his?

>>5180934
>>5181089
Rest assured, It is a bloodbath, fighting them one on one made it a pretty simple ordeal, All things considered.
The acupuncture wasn't all that necessary, But It's quite funny to see them whine about how much pain their eyes are in. After they all pop, You return to the girl, and are quite glad to see she decided to follow your instructions.
"Alright girlie, We're in the clear. " you say firmly, as the girl opens her eyes, And sees quite clearly how much destruction you caused.
\
You can tell quite easily she's sick to her stomach, But she does give you a 'thanks' Before running off somewhere to hide from the bandits, Afterall, You killed a man trying to save her, She'd probably have a mark on her as well with how drugged out raider logic worked.

You, given the fact that you've been in a few raiding gangs, Have enough sense about you to understand: once the leader falls, The rest crumble apart.
Good thing you've trained since the time you were about twelve to be one of the most deadly sons of bitches on earth.

>>5181633
Yes, one of the most deadly sons of bitches on earth... to ever remain anonymous?!? This won't do at all! Hokuto's Invincible, and you go above and beyond when it comes to using it. Sure, Raoh can come and crush you underhoof whenever he feels inclined, but even if his horse can catch up to your chopper, his army can't! Till you get word of his army on the move in your general direction, why not make a name for yourself that everyone will say?

>>5181633
(Some advice OP, you may want to give some prompts to the audience for some directions you can have the story go. As it is right now, stuff just happens, and we're not given a point to jump off of in response to it.)

>>5181746
A fair point,... You could take this town all your own...
An army, Loyal , thankful townsfolk... a constant source of food!
Feeling confident after your conquest of the shrimp, You decide to go for the head honcho.

Now the only thing left to do is find him!
...Awh shit! you killed the underlings!
Gah! how to go about this...?

>>5182135
A group this size leaves footprints. Either methaphorical in a trail or destruction and injury or actual literal ones. Follow their footprints from where they came from!

>>5182475
A tral of destruction eh? Louts like this who lack subtlety do twnd to spend their free time partying,

You follow your nose to the scent of booze and sex, and see a large group of rowdy gangers, and a number of lesa than pleased scantily clad women, at the center of it all a very large man with a distinctive nose ring.

You could probably just storm in there, slaughter everyone and be on your way. But it'd just be so easy to blow his brains out from here wirh your gun...

>>5183376
Remind yourself that a Shotgun will be able to hit the broadside of a barn at range, the bandit leader's head, not so much. Still, there's an idea, if you set the shotgun's hammer on its timer function, you can use it as a noisemaker to lure them to where you aren't. And when the head honcho sends in the troops, you can go steal his head.

>>5184232
Not a bad idea. IT should be easy enough.
You work out a makeshift contraption, And sneak about. When your double barrel does go off, the boss man orders the others to investigate.

Once the riffraff are gone. You step out from the shadows.
"hey there fella" You speak out loud, Catching his attention.
"Huh- Who the-?"
"don't worry about who i am, I'm more interested in you and your buddies."

The leader glowers over you With a smirk.
"What are ya? Some wannabe hero? Not that it matters, I'll be spilling your blood soon enough." Says the giant man, Grabbing a massive Kanebo, The women look in suspense , all thinking you made a mistake in coming here.

"Enough with the showboating fatass! What the hell is your name!" You ask, losing patience with this dick measuring.
The man, seeing your temper , grins.
"I am Gozumaru of the western gate. Brother to Mezuko of the east gate, Many used to know my family as 'the grinning hyenas of the new century' before Master ushio taught us some humility." He seemed to be arrogant about losing. And apparently one of these gang leaders was a chick. That was a rarity.

Still it was time to clean up the garbage, And t5his man's life story wasn't impressing you in the slightest.
"So you are the boss around here. That's all i needed to know, Listen, I'll give you a chance, Either go against that master of yours and fall under my heel , Or i'll have to make that sister of yours in the east an only child. " You crack your knuckles as the man laughs.

"You intend to fight me unarmed?! Big mistake!" He charges at you with his great wooden club, swinging it down , As you manage to dodge easy, Before ducking under a horizontal attack. Each of your movements brought you closer to him It wasn't even a challenge. before you managed to get in striking distance/ His most recent swing acting as a springboard as you brought your arms up above your head, Your knees to your chest as your toki created illusory arms.

"Hokuto senju satsu!" You shout alloud as your fists fall to his face and upper torso, Battering hm like a pinata the final one knocking him into a wall. And causing him to drop his club.

Of course, the punches themselves didn't kill him, It wasn't their purpose. But as he gets back up and grabs his club, You figure you have between fifteen and thirty seconds to terrify him before he blows up like an overfull baloon.

What'dya say?

>>5185374
"Well, I hope your sister doesn't share your looks, it's been a while since I had a good lay."

>>5185374
"Making me fight you unarmed. Big mistake."
throw back his words before he explodes into fertilizers and meat.

Since we are gaining as the leader of our own pack of raiders.
I say we go legit and establish our own turf to tax the people eking out a living from the wasteland.
Simple feudal system, bit cruel.
Basically extort protection fee and stuff from them. Protect them for reals. Also help them by scavenging whatever our posse can find from scrap metal to food.
Play the long game of protecting weak settlements for tax and privileges. Find the nerdy smart people who don't do well in survival to get science stuff like fuel,mechanical gadgets, soil rejuvenation, drugs and gunpowder.

>>5186606
Fertilizer? Huh, it's been a while since we've seen flowers. She really liked... Eh, don't think about that, think about better things, like that time you and the other thugs in your motorcycle gang hassled Kenshiro and his girl by trampling over a whole meadow of flowers- damn, even back then you were what she called a "Dickbag."

>>5186606
>>5186613
>>5187303

"Whatd'ya mean unarmed I got my club right he-" As he tries to grab his weapon His arm begins to swell up, growing purple and veiny , The swelling extends up his arm to the rest of his body, As the arm bursts into spatter of gore on the walls. Followed quickly by his head.

You give a sensible chuckle. and turn to the women.
"Alright! Listen up! You seen what i did to that shithead right?! I can keep this place safe all by my lonesome!" you shout loudly at the terrified campwhores. "all i need is food, water, and some men to tell me what's goin' on around these parts, And you'll get someone to protect you till the day ya die! Tell this village! Spread the damn word, I'll even take care of that dumb fuck's buddies!"

the women look amongst each other... It seemed like a good deal, They seemed to come to a silent agreement it was better you than her.

They scatter to spread the word of their new protector. While you grin... Sure you'd have to hop off for that little job offer, The guy was rich in all the ways that mattered in the new century, Water, Food, Status... Apparently he was a caravaneer... Having those kinds of connections would be helpful.

But for now, you have three more gates to take care of, Three villages, And three leaders.

East,... south... MAybe you should cut the head off this snake and head toward the north gate?

>>5189166
Well, seems the cows have come home for Gozumaru, so it's time for us to get back on the horse and confront Mezuko. Here's hoping she has a wild mane instead of a big horsey face.

Also, take Gozumaru's club so people can tell at a glance that you killed him, and go recover your gun from that search party, there's only so many left.

>>5189390
You grab the club, and get moving to your bike, The crowd of men and women cheering you on, even if they don't know how you'll be as their new leader...

Better not to waste the moment, It feels good to play the hero, you suppose.
Your bike takes you here you need in a matter of a few hours, A smaller settlement, with not nearly as many guards not even a wall...

something felt odd about this place, No screams oif pain, no begging for some horrible thing or another to stop... Not what you'd expect from a gang settlement....

You could just go for the leader and destroy her, or you could investigate what all of this means... It's a hard pick, considering that, if this bitch is an actually decent boss you might piss off the locals.

>>5189560
Walk into town, present maul, say you got beef, and formally state your intent to square up with their leader by firing your shotgun in the air in the middle of town square- wait, where'd you leave it- AUGH, the bait for those flies back at the other gate! Shit! Well you're down a gun for the moment. Nothing to do but carve your name on the Kanabo and have it be your thing till you find a better weapon.

For now, show off your sick skills by doing katas with the mace and shouting for their leader.

>>5189660
You humm at the notion of showboating, but then you might wind up looking like an ass. Instead you go into town. And tosa the massive club in the town center gathering the attention of the towns folk

"Grab your leader. " you say lowly, as the people look at the familiar weapon, then scyter.

Within moments youre face to face with an attractive brown skinned woman. Standing taller than even your mighty frame with an axe in hand.

"I take it youre my brother's slayer?"

>>5189695
"Depends, which one was your brother? I lost track."

Prepare to pacify her using Shinken- oh wait that's right... Shinken was intended to assassinate men of all shapes and sizes... and over the millenia, there wasn't as much need to assassinate women, which suited you just fine. So besides a few basic pressure points everyone has, you're a little lost when it comes to a woman's body... in a fight. Well, at least you're not a nerd who actually studied up on something you'd never use in a real fight, like Kenshiro! ...and Toki... and Raoh come to think of it...

...should still hurt when you smack her though, and maybe you can choke her out with your weapon's handle.

After all, as the only living successor of Hokuto Shinken (Raoh and Toki don't count, they were skipped over anyway), it would be a crime to have such a rare woman explode in today's sparse world (which some asshole brought about by launching some nukes, whoever they may be). So it is for that reason you will not use Shinken in this fight and no other!

>>5189741
"That club belonged to him... Thank you."

Huh? She's... thanking you?
She seems to notice your confusion.
"My brother was seduced by the authority granted him by Ushio... while i am too weak on my own to face him and his strange manner of fighting, I refuse to do more for his gang than have the folk here pay tribute, and to defend my territory. Your killing Gozumaru has spared me the pain of hearing about his dreadful acts.." Mezuko says sternly, her voice a sexy contralto... "I wish i could have had the chance to talk him down...but it is what it is."

Well damn, Now you're at a loss for what to do...

>>5189938
...for some reason, it makes your head throb when you see someone not respecting their brother properly. "Yo. I didn't get that club by punking your brother with any cheap shots or with him siccing his goons on me, we settled things mano a mano. Even with his past, just know that in your brother's last moments, he went out as a warrior."

Hand her the club. "That's all I can recall of him, so this should be a decent grave marker, but you do you."

>>5189946
She blinks in surprise, Of course, You did draw his guards away, and he really didn't know what was happening until he was already dead... But...

Hey, why ruin the heartwarming moment, She nods and smiles "I pledge myself and the few warriors i have to your cause, Use us as you will" She bows her head, as a crew of similarly amazonian women who were preparing to ambush you come out of hiding and mimic her humble movement.

>>5190732
First thing's first: Something to drink and a bite to eat. Then head up to this North Gate everyone's talking up to see what all the fuss is about. Scan the horizon if able in casr you catch sight of a War Party from Ushio coming towards the East Gate so you can intercept them, word of thr West Gate must have spread by now.

>>5191082
It'd only been a few hours, but you suppose... maybe some stragglers left, or the village tossed out the men you'd lured away...? either way it's worth a shot.

You'd nab a drink and some food, before geading out on your boke to patroll your two new settlements, Only to see nothing

But it seems this little venture, Profitable as it's been will come to an end soon enough, North or south?

>>5191191
>Then head up to this North Gate everyone's talking up to see what all the fuss is about.
I already said.

>>5191310
ah, right, You take your bike up to the gang's northern settlement, Getting directions from the locals at the previous town you liberated.

Heading up north, You come to a stop at the outskirts, After this, it'd just be some small fry warlord, one you could beat down and chase out easily.
You were here for the big boss' head!
You decide subtlety isn't worth the effort, and walk right in. garnering the attention of the men posted there.
"huh? Who the hell're you?" shouts one of them, grabbing a spear.

>>5191982
"You don't recognize me? Ah, wait, I get why."

When he points the spear towards us, press the points in his hands to release it, then kick him up into the air while planting the spear in the ground where he'll fall.

"To those who still don't recognize me," point a thumb at your mask, "I'm the Grim Reaper, it was just too damn hot out for my cloak, ya dig?"

Continue walking into town at a slow and steady pace, with your body's power allowing you to walk forward in spite of interference and slowly trample any who block your path. Heck, walk through some buildings' walls to really hammer it home. Break the blades of any who attempt to stab, slash, or chop you and dispatch your attackers with the shards.

"Ushio? Ushiooo?"

>>5192030
That's a real badass' entrance if you do say so yourself, You make your trech through the territory, simply letting people attack you, And watch with a sense of joy as their faces warp into fear when those arms break.

Eventually, you find what may be your mark, A large man, with a giant mask Combining a tiger's fangs, and a bull's horns,. The man truly looks like an ogre, which seems to be this gang's theme.

"Hmm?" Asked the large man, looking your way, He seems quiet, contemplative... "What do you want?"

>>5200027
"My face the way it was circa 199X-1, but to get to the point, I heard you used a martial art from your boy Gozumaru, and as the successor of a martial art myself, I just have to test it against yours." Crack your knuckles the long way by pushing your flat palms out. "I recommend you use all your best techniques from the get-go. It'd be a shame for them to be lost to history from you dying too quickly."

>>5200027
>"What do you want?"
Recognition from my father figure/teacher, Tomboy gf to be alive again, a feeling of belonging and self actualization; absent that to kill, screw and terrorize my way across the ruins of this hellscape. Also, a word with the Head Dick in Charge. And a beer.

>>5200150
"ah, so you'd managed to defeat one of my lieutenants... How interesting" Ushio said as he stood up, before getting into a stance, making his fingers into claws and getting into a cat stance.

You don't recognize this guy from the Nanto school, so you figure this is just some tiger style Kung fu guy, an easy enough opponent to take care of.
But then, Why would the lieutenant say it was something strange and unique? Ah well It's no problem at all, You bound forward, and try to land a punch on him, only for your wrist to be grabbed,

You suppose he just got lucky, Another quick jab with your free hand, the same result, Not only are your arms bound, but now he's twisting them against eachother, And you really can't get out of this powerful grip! This guy's physical strength would have to be immense for you to struggle this much!


"You know, Little challenger, There's a reason we're called the four gate's brigade, , I was a brigidier general before the war, And a volunteer for some pretty nifty augemtnations" he proceeded to toss you in the air "Bionic arms that improved my strength ten fold for one!" his stance would change from Tiger style to something a bit softer, as he moved his arms into a firm striking stance, Hew would palm you in your belly, sending you into a wall
"And a chip that would teach me all the fighting styles the world had to offer!"

Wow, Those did sound pretty nifty, You'd have more time to appreciate it if you weren't feeling like losing your lunch... What should you do about all this?

>>5200931
"Cough, cough, whoa there, kitty cat, you said they put something in your head? Brain Surgery? Where'd you get it, it still around?"

Okay, so finding the pressure points on a cyborg might be a tad difficult, that is, if you were 2000 years behind the times like your predecessors. To keep your bike running as good as it does (and even to make that timer-mechanism for the shotgun that you'd normally use to make punks piss themselves on top of losing their head), even before everything got nuked to shit you studied up on mechanical engineering where you could, owners manuals for motorcycles of any sort, air conditioners for your room at the dojo, heck, even how to repair a radio by elbowing it just so when you hung out at Anna's pop's.

So to function, cybernetic implants still work on the same principle as normal body parts, they have to catch a signal from the brain to start moving. Normally, you would blow his out of his skull, but you're short a gun for the moment till you get wind of some new upjumped bandit leader known to be waving around a shotgun. For now, you gotta make it to where those limbs have trouble receiving those messages.

Get out the needles, and get in the defensive stance. Normally you wouldn't use Liu Fei-Yan's technique for defense, but if he's fast enough to catch your punch twice, you have to be on guard for a bolt of lightning. Probe out his flesh for a soft spot, and if it's all metal, scrape off what you can before planting a needle in his nerves/wiring.

That's what you can do with the first arm to disable it, and once he's got one arm full of scrap metal to lug around, you won't need to worry about his second. By then, you can see if you can do any of that tricky shit to reverse his outputs to where he tightens instead of releases, and maybe you can get him to hit himself or better yet iron claw his own face off.

Well, in the time it took to think that up, you've managed to swallow back down the bile-soaked grits from this morning and get back on your feet, so it's show-time! "Well, if you have a chip telling you everything there is to know about other styles, that's a relief." Get in a stance, and wave your hand in a Kung Fu Master-y "C'mere, ye with smaller penis" gesture, and say, "Cuz you've never seen mine, and you never will!"

My mistake, that was her older brother who trusted us to keep his younger sister safe. Piece of shit, what kinda older brother can't handle that himself.
