Act 79: The Pursuit

"I mean, I told you about my friend..." Said Jun. "And the fuckton of run-is she had with that Saten bastard, right?"

"I know..." Kentaro replied. "That's the reason you want to pursue Saten, right?"

"Yeah, somewhat... but there's another reason why I want to meet that Saten." Said Jun. "Something much more... personal."

"Hmm..." Kentaro replied.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

A few minutes later, Kentaro had finished tinkering around with Jun's Ashura. He had just finished installing some new parts and sticking in new decals, as well as gave the body a brand new paint job.

"There we go, Jun. Good as new." Said Kentaro. "New parts, new decals, and a shiny new paint job to go with it."

"Oh my fucking God, I love it!" Jun replied. "Thanks, Kenta!"

"Glad you like it, Jun!" Said Kentaro.

"Well, I better get going now." Jun replied, handing over the money to Kentaro.. "See ya later, Kenta."

Jun then proceeded to ride Ashura, kick-started the engine and left the shop.

-Streets 3:41 PM-

Originally, Jun intended to go home as soon as she was finished with fixing Ashura. However, on her trip home, she encounters an unexpected detour.

A familiar-looking rider, clad in all black leather and a black helmet. On the back of their jacket was five letters:

"Saten!" Said Jun.

Jun, in her effort to find out more about the mysterious rider, decided to pursue and tail Saten around.

Saten seems to have noticed, and proceeds to speed up her motorcycle in order to get away from Jun.

"So, that's how you fucking want it, huh?" Said Jun.

Jun proceeds to rev up her engines as well in order to catch up to Saten. Ashura's newly-modified engine meant that Jun was able to reach speeds that she wasn't able to reach before.

Jun and her motorcycle Ashura proceeded to blaze through the road at more than 200 kilometers per hour in an attempt to catch up to Saten.

Eventually, she caught a glimpse of Saten, who eventually turns right to a nearby alley.

"Damn you!" Said Jun.

Jun decides to slow down and turn to the same alley, before eventually resuming to top speed once again.

As soon as she returned to the road, Jun continued her pursuit for Saten, whom she eventually found speeding through the highway. As soon as she saw Saten, Jun proceeded to speed up to the maximum speed that Ashura was able to reach.

After a few tries, Jun eventually catches up to Saten. But nothing could prepare her for what Saten was about to do next.

As soon as Jun was at a close enough distance, Saten proceeded to kick Jun toward the shin, which made Jun shout in pain and almost made her lose her balance.

"OWW! What the fuck?! That's not fair!" Said Jun.

Seeing the opportunity, Saten proceeded to speed up and leave Jun behind. Something that Jun wasn't willing to accept.

"Well, if that's how you want it..." Said Jun.

Jun proceeded to speed up once again in order to catch up to Saten. As soon as she was close enough, Jun decided to give Saten a taste of their own medicine and decided to give her a strong kick to shin as well.

The kick managed to hurt Saten for a while, before they then proceed to retaliate with a kick of their own, only for Jun to dodge by lifting up her foot at the right moment. Saten ended up kicking Ashura's engine instead.

Jun and Saten then spend the next few moments exchanging shin kicks toward one another, in an attempt to take the other one down.

Eventually, Jun manages to take down Saten, who eventually lost balance, and proceeded to wobble around their motorcycle before getting off just in time for it to crash to the barricade. Jun immediately gets off her motorcycle to run toward Saten.

Jun and Saten decide to continue their
fight in the middle of the highway. Jun charges toward Saten and proceeds to attack them with a superman punch, which Saten dodges. Saten retaliates with a haymaker, which Jun blocks.

Jun and Saten then proceeded to exchange blows, trading punches and kicks toward one another, while also defending against each other's attacks whenever they can.

Saten then proceeds to punch Jun in the gut, before proceeding to take her down with an elbow to the back of the neck. Saten then whips out their chain in an attempt to choke Jun out.

However, Jun then gets up and charges toward Saten. She then proceeds to tackle Saten and slams them toward a then-passing car. As soon as Saten was down, Jun then proceeds to mount them and try to take off their helmet.

"There's nowhere to go now, you little son of a bitch!" Said Jun. "Now, let's see what you look like without that helmet!"

Jun proceeds to grab the straps off Saten's helmet in order to remove the helmet off of their head. However, Saten tries to fight off Jun's attempts to take if off from their head.

Eventually, Jun decides to punch a hole through Saten's helmet with her fist. However, instead of letting out a scream of pain, Saten proceeded to chuckle and laugh instead.

"Hahaha..." Said Saten.

"What are you laughing at?" Jun replied. "Oh, well. Laugh all you want, 'cause this is gonna be your-"

"Looks like you haven't changed in the slightest, Jun." Said Saten. "Still as reckless as ever..."

"That voice...! Said Jun.

[music fades]

"Long time no see, Jun..." Said Saten. "It's me... Remember me...?"

Saten then proceeds to unstrap their helmet revealing... a female face, with a long blonde ponytail, black eyes and a small piercing on her nose. Her left eye was closed, and a small stream of blood can be seen leaking out of it.

Jun couldn't believe her eyes. That face... it was a face that she did not expect to witness once again.

"You... you're....!" Said Jun.
