Aika held back - the pipe was obviously cheating a bit, when everyone else thus far had stuck to using just their fists and feet, but she supposed you didn't get to be in the higher-ups of this particular Tong without at least some practicality.  It was his bad luck, really, that he'd spotted Joy and decided to target her with the pipe, when she just answered with a blast of heavenly thunder, courtesy of her Mugen powers.  It broke his attack without question, and offered Aika an opening for her own move, which had just come up.  The last time she'd used it, she had just punched the unfortunate goon that had run in here as a warning.  This time, she wanted a little extra power behind it, so she came in with a kick instead.<br/><br/>What little Taekwondo skill she had been imparted by...the event...came into play, and she roundhouse kicked the Tong boss, forcing him to drop the pipe as he staggered backwards, his health bar training all the way down, refilling as one of the two stars disappeared.  Speaking of stars...just like the thug from earlier, his face was pointed up towards the ceiling, a ring of stars rotating around his head to show that he'd been stunned like one of his minions.  The Tennin took a quick glance around.  There was no one there; it was just the boss and the two of them. With him stunned...<br/><br/>Time slowed, the scene before them going to grey as a prompt appeared in their vision.<br/><br/><div align="center"><tt class="bbc_tt">Beatdown: Stunning a Boss will trigger the opportunity for a Beatdown.  Engaging in the Beatdown will drain the Boss of one whole health bar.  While you are in the Beatdown, you are immune to the attacks of other enemies.  All players must engage in the Beatdown.</tt></div><br/>Then, the text box disappeared, and time resumed its normal flow as color returned to their vision.  "Joy!"  Aika called out to her counterpart, as she reared back with the most powerful move she could use at the present - lucky for her that it was one of her new Taekwondo moves, which she would otherwise have been hesitant to use, as she had had no practice with it at all.  She charged the boss, and the next thing she really knew, it was just all her and Joy's fists and feet in the guy's face.  When the Beatdown was done, the boss' health bar drained and refilled again, the second star disappearing.  One bar left.
