ASSASSIN SHOWDOWN 5

Terra Mizu is known among the world’s elite assassins as the best in the business – a reputation Orias Bastet has decided she wants for herself. She sneaks into Terra’s house and confronts her when she returns. When she beats ‘the best’, Orias says, she’ll be seen as the world’s top assassin.

Orias throws a jab, which Terra blocks easily, then two kicks, followed by a straight left, but Terra blocks again and counters with a right. Orias tries another left, followed by a low right to Terra’s ribs, but again Terra blocks both. Infuriated by Terra smirking at her, Orias reaches down and draws a knife.

Terra only just dodges a sweeping downward slash, then blocks a side strike and delivers a palm strike to Orias’ chest. Orias slashes down towards Terra’s face, but Terra traps Orias’s hand, then twists her wrist, forcing her to drop the knife. Terra kicks it away, but takes a haymaker leaving her stunned on her feet.

Now Orias is able to take her time pounding Terra with hooks and belly punches before unleashing an uppercut that drops her to her knees.

Orias calmly walks up to Terra and pushes her over with her foot, then applies a figure-4 sleeper hold till she loses consciousness. Or so it seems – Terra was just faking and bites Orias’ inner thigh. Infuriated, Orias jumps on Terra and jams her fingers into Terra’s carotid arteries until she passes out, after which she amuses herself playing with the limp body of the world’s most deadly assassin.

However, as Orias leans in to gloat, Terra’s eyes snap open and she hooks Orias from the ground, stunning her.

Terra squats next to Orias and clamps her hand over Orias’ nose and mouth, so that she loses consciousness. Terra continues the punishment with a series of belly punches, followed by a long, painful belly claw, then drags her up by the hair. She launches a vicious knee into her stomach, followed by an uppercut and two hooks. Orias draws on her final reserves and launches a wild punch at Terra, who evades it, then slips a garrotte around Orias’s neck and chokes her out.

Terra props up Orias’s limp body and gloats at her defeat before letting it fall back to the floor and sauntering off to savour her victory.
