haired man following her decided to do the same. Another shot hit the slime at their feet.
    Kanjou noticed that the lights ahead of them had been systematically taken out. The Tiger went into the darkness, just enough of her visible as she turned to the left before disappearing. Kanjou dove into the blackness and headed left as well and entered another tunnel. The lights had been taken out at the junction of two tunnels to allow Martial Artists to confuse the police when running. Rather clever, he thought.
    A few yards in front of him, Kanjou saw a patch of light opening in the wall, highlighting Andrea just enough to let her be seen. She ducked into the wall, and Kanjou sped up. He dove through the hole right before it was closed back up.
    Andrea leaned against a concrete wall, breathing heavily. Kanjou set Roni down and looked around. Three small rooms made up the little apartment-like section of sewer tunnels. The main entry held a few broken crates and one exercise mat that was starting to become unstuffed. The room to the left contained a small camping stove and a couple of cracked plastic containers that held a few dishes. To the right was a cramped room with two futons and more plastic containers filled with clothing.
Muffled voices came from the other side of the concrete. “Where did they go?”
    “I don’t know. You three, go that way. Maybe they ran down the other tunnel. You two come with me.” The voices and splashing went off in two different directions. The three Martial Artists didn’t move until the sounds were gone, then Andrea turned and slammed her fist into the concrete wall.
“Shit!” she yelled.
    Kanjou and Roni stood there, silent . The silver-haired Martial Artist was terrifying when angry. They both nearly jumped out of their skins when she turned, her blue pupils flashing with anger.
    “You two are the biggest idiots I’ve ever met! If you knew how to run a rebellion, you’d know that talking about it in public makes you either a fool or a target- and the police don’t care about the difference!” Andrea stomped off toward the room to the right, muttering something about “troublesome idiots”.
    The two members of the Aka Ryuu stood exactly where they were, listening to Andrea in the back tunnel, slamming things and ranting about being wanted by the police. “Probably won’t live until morning!” she screamed at one point, causing Roni and Kanjou to jump. They could now see why no one at the bar had wanted to be near her when she’d started yelling at Bear.
    Roni and Kanjou both exchanged glances and raised their eyebrows when Andrea came back out. She had changed clothes, but her new outfit looked exactly like the old one. Even the shoes were the same.
    Andrea noticed their looks. “What? Do you two have some sort of problem with me having more than one fighting outfit or something!?”
They both gave nervous chuckles. “Absolutely not!” Roni chirped.
    Andrea strode past them and opened up the cement wall again. “I’m going back to find Tony. You two can be eaten by sewer rats for all I care.” She went back out into the tunnel, holding the legs of her pants up some while walking on a dry strip close to the tunnel wall.
Roni huffed and followed the fighter. The tall man let out a sigh and turned to follow them.
    The sounds of dripping water accompanied them as they made their way back along the sewer pipes. Roni had somehow gotten Andrea to agree to let her speak about their mission, so long as they could keep up the pace at the same time.
    “See, Shogun Kunota is the one rightfully in charge of the government. He’s who the people elected to lead, and if he actually got to do his job, then things would be much better for all of us. The police won’t be able to kill whoever they want to, and Martial arts will be legal again. Imagine, being able to show your face on the streets and admit that you practice Hinomoto’s oldest tradition, and not being arrested for it. This
