Stronghold & Ultra Girl.
Story Arc 1: Crime Central.

Actually being here was much different. They were so used to the shining brightness of their part of the city and everybody being cheerful and kids playing on the sidewalk. But even with the sun shining down, they didn't feel comfortable. The streets and sidewalks were much dirtier with littler all around and there were multiple evacuated cars on the side of the road in various states of decay: Tires gone, windows broken, radios and engines were missing. The houses they saw were in bad shape and boarded up and locked up tight. Looking in with her telepathy, Ultra Girl found that while there was some violent sorts, the majority of the people who had locked themselves in were just trying to survive.
The eerie silence was soon shattered by roaring engines as a group of armed bikers on giant rigged up bikes, two riders to each bike, firing guns and driving around them in a circle and shooting flames from their bikes all while yelling and cheering.

"Well now, wella, wella, well! Looks like the cops got tired of getting their a$$es handed to them and sent in a pair of wannabe heroes!" The leader yelled to his gang atop the largest motorcycle the two heroes had ever seen.

"Let's grind 'em into street pizza and burn the remains! RUN THEM DOWN!"

"Is it always like this for you?" Stronghold asked as they looked at the twelve giant bikes lining up and preparing to run them down.
"Kinda." She looked at the giant. "That is new though."

OT: I hate my net connection today.

The eerie silence was soon shattered by roaring engines as a group of armed bikers on giant rigged up bikes, two riders to each bike, firing guns and driving around them in a circle and shooting flames from their bikes all while yelling and cheering.

"Let's grind 'em into street pizza and burn the remains! RUN THEM DOWN!"

"Is it always like this for you?" Stronghold asked as they looked at the twelve giant bikes lining up and preparing to run them down.
"Kinda." She looked at the giant. "That is new though."

"How you want to do this?"
"How about...we split them 50-50?"
"Works for me. Watch yourself. Oh yeah! I call dibs on the big guy."
"Beat me to it." Ultra Girl laughed. "Alright, he's all yours."
"Thank you."

The two split up and got ready to rock and the bikers raced towards the heroes, shooting at them with bullets and flamethrowers while racing forward to run them over. Stronghold smirked, the bullets bouncing off of him and the flames not harming him at all. He braced himself and let the vehicle to slam into his body and he stopped it with his hands, breaking the blades on the front of the cycle and busting the roller by digging in his fingers and breaking it. Stronghold then smashed the front of it with his hands and then climbed up, grabbed the riders and knocked their heads together to knock them unconscious.

Ultra Girl held up her hands and waited, smiling. The telekinetic shield she set up blocked the bullets and flames just fine and when the motorcycle rammed it, she was able to prepare herself in time and the motorcycle broke apart like it just rammed itself into a brick wall. The riders were thrown off and launched through the air but Ultra Girl grabbed them with TK and knocked them together and then dropped them down safely. She turned just in time to see another one of them barreling towards her and she used her telekinesis to shoot herself into the air and twirl and flip in the air, flying over the motorcycle and dodging the bullets shot at her and then Ultra Girl pulled the riders off of the vehicle, leaving it to crash and burn.

Stronghold ran at the next motorcycle as it was racing at him at top speed. He rammed into it and not only busted it up like the last one, but he also grabbed it, lifted the whole thing up over his head, shook off the thugs and then turned and tossed away the modified motorcycle away like a softball. The motorcycle flew a dozen feet away and hit the ground, blowing up. The other bikers actually had to stop upon seeing this and Stronghold seized this chance and leaped over to another motorcycle, landing on the roller and breaking it and then reaching up, grabbing the thugs and hitting them together.

Ultra Girl flew at a pair of riders, using a telekinetic shield to block gunfire and flames coming at her and got in front them, decked the two thugs with telekinetically enhanced punches and then gently TKed them off of the motorcycle and onto the ground and she then turned around and started driving the motorcycle with her telekinesis and guiding it right towards another one. Ultra Girl grabbed the riders with telekinesis and pulled them over to her and then jumped away up into the air to safety as the two motorcycle's collided and exploded. Ultra Girl set down the two thugs and knocked them out.

While the two heroes were fending off the biker gang, a block away there was a man with a sniper rifle setting up on top of a building. The man looked through the scope and took aim at Ultra Girl. "Thaaat's right little girl, stay nice and still." He was about to pull the trigger when somebody grabbed him from behind and threw him backwards several feet away. The man slid across the roof until he stopped and looked up to see a woman in black standing in front of him.

She shook her finger at him and the man pulled out two guns. He was about to shoot her when he saw her hands were out and blades cut through his guns, splitting the barrels down the middle before he could finish pulling the triggers. Then she was in front of him, moving like a tall, dark shadow and crossing the distance in seconds. She hit him three times and knocked the man unconscious. Retrieving her blades, the woman in black walked to the other side of the roof and watched the fighting.

Stronghold and Ultra Girl posed triumphantly as the last of the motorcycle's exploded behind them, the thugs laying down and beaten all around them. "That was a fun warm up."
"Shame we didn't bring marshmallow's." Stronghold commented.
"Good one."
"I still have dibs on this guy right?"
"He's all yours."
The gang leader started to turn and drive away but then turned around and drove straight at Stronghold, getting faster and faster as the gang leader screamed bloody murder at Stronghold who readied himself and when the gigantic, fourteen ton motorcycle collided with him, he was prepared for it and held out his hands and the machine started pushing him backwards, his feet digging into the street below him, breaking it as he wrestled with the giant machine. The driver continued to gun the engine but Stronghold pushed back and was able to not only stop himself but he knelt down and started to pick it up, lifting up the front tire and pulling it forward and lifting it up onto his back and then picking it up fully, lifting a gigantic fourteen ton motorcycle into the air over his head. He shook it a bit and dropped off the driver and Ultra Girl caught him and pulled him close and decked him. "Looking good man!" "Get a picture."
"What?"
"Oh come on, you have your phone right? How many opportunities are we going to have like this?"
"Point taken." Ultra Girl took the cell phone out of her jacket and floated up into the air and took a picture of Stronghold holding the gigantic cycle over his head. "Good one!"
"You got it?"
"Yep!"
"Great!" Stronghold turned his head to the side, crouched a bit and then threw the monster motorcycle several feet away. "YEEEEAAAAAAH! You see that? We are the best!"

KITTENS!

Interested in seeing how it turns out

Interested in seeing how it turns out

Did you like Artemis' Appearance?

"Holy f-ing s-t!" A group of people started coming out of the walled in buildings, nervously approaching the two heroes. "Did you see that? Did you see what they did? They took down The Riders!"

"That was amazing!"

"Who are you?"

"How did you do all of that?"

"How did you lift that giant cycle?" A woman asked.

"Alright, alright, one at a time." Stronghold smiled. "To answer your questions: I am Stronghold."

"I am Ultra Girl."

"We're superheroes and we're here to bring down the criminals in this city."

"A-all of them?" A young man asked, nervously.

"You know it." Ultra Girl crossed her arms in front of her impressive chest.

"You guys are in for a fight then."

"So who else is there?"

"All of the crooks and gangs here work for Daddy Santos. All of them. The Handyman, Black Death, Crusher Mendez, 'Lovely' Flamingo, Searing Skull and Duke Dynomite."

"Who, who and who?" Stronghold asked.

The civilians explained who each of the leaders were.

Searing Skull
http://hpkomic.deviantart.com/art/Searing-Skull-194532093
Leader of the Deadhead's, a gang of criminals who dress up in all black with skull masks on. Heavily armed and armored. Searing Skull himself is a metahuman who can fire melting beams from his hands. Sadistic and highly dangerous.

Black Death  
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Dominatrix-with-Servant-56896194
The surgeon dominatrix with teleportation and incredible speed. She and her gang would abduct people around the city and harvest their organs to sell on the black market.

Duke Dynomite
http://edgargomezart.deviantart.com/art/Bombman-Reimagined-340210888
A metahuman lunatic with an explosive temper and powers to match. He and his gang were demolitions experts and had an arsenal of bombs and explosive weapons on hand.

Crusher Mendez
http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111001024444/xmenmovies/images/4/49/Blob_01.jpg
A superhuman strongman. Everybody in his gang of muscleheads were built like tanks and armed as such. They work as leg breakers and run protection rackets, woe to anybody who refuses to pay up.

Lovely Flamingo
http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/072/0/9/katarina_mueller___bodybuilder___7ft_2ins___320lbs_by_theamazonclub-d4snvqh.jpg
This giant of a woman runs a prostitution ring and strip club, either blackmailing or abducting young women to work for her. Her gang is rather bizarre and comes in all manners of people.

The Handyman
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Desolator-Smash-refined-141177853
The technology and weapons expert. His gang is the most decked out and he is responsible for making and selling the more advanced gear and weapons that the other gangs used, such as the giant motorcycle of the Riders.

Daddy Santos
http://jnkboy.deviantart.com/art/Thank-you-it-fits-perfectly-178199188?q=favby%3AGuy01%2F3653267&qo=0
The ringleader of them all. Not much is known about him, but he apparently has enough power to keep the others in check and working for him.

The two heroes took all of this in.

"Wow, am I glad I asked for your help on this." Ultra Girl commented.

"So who should we hit first?" Stronghold asked.

"I say we bring down Black Death. Organ harvesting? That's just twisted. We can down the bomber after her and then go for the Handyman. With those three out of the way, the others will be easier to bring down."
"Good idea."

They got directions and headed off to find the woman.

Artemis watched this exchange through binoculars, reading their lips. With the pair of heroes going after the bondage queen, she would go after the giant woman, to free the captive women and lighten the heroes' load a bit. She leaped to another rooftop and headed out.

In a bit of a detour, we will be following Artemis on her mission before switching back to the main two.   

Like the ominous nature of her.

I also came up with a better look for the villainess she will be fighting.

It took some searching but eventually Artemis found what she was looking for. A group of scantily clad women who were posing on a street corner and flirting with men who passed by. Tatooed on the right and left arms of each woman was the skeleton of a flamingo with a flaming pink outline around it.

Miss Lovely Flamingo had not only forced these women into this lifestyle, but marked them as well, as if they were property or animals. She would pay dearly for this. Running off off the building, Artemis leaped into the air, her cloak billowing behind her and then it spread out, allowing Artemis to catch the wind and glide a considerable distance. She closed it up a bit and flew down and drop kicked one of the men just as he was attempting to force a woman into his car. Her feet caught the back of his head and knocked him to the ground. Artemis sprang up off of him, jumping over to the next burly man, grabbed the side of his head in her hands and drove an armored knee into his face, right between the eyes, taking him down. Landing on the ground, Artemis grabbed his arm, turned around and tossed the man over her head so hard he flew through the air and landed hard on the first man she took out.

She pointed to one of the women. "You." Her voice synthesizer allowing her to hide her real voice with a fake one. "Innocent. Stay with the other women. I have some questions I want to ask these men about their boss."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ONbjH1F_X0
The remaining henchmen quickly started surrounding her. "Damn you lady, who the hell are you?"

"I am the hunter."

"Shoot her! BLOW HER DAMN HEAD OFF!"

Artemis was too fast though and flung out her hands, throwing out two knives, each of which was tied to a chain around her wrist. The knives stabbed into the right shoulder of one man and through the gun of another. Artemis pulled back on the knives, causing blood to splurt out of the first mans shoulder and tearing apart the handgun of the other and she swung the chains, slashing the chests of the two men before flipping up into the air and backwards, landing on top of the car to avoid the fire from the others. The shots from the guns blasted holes in the brick wall. Apparently those pink guns of theirs were not just for show, they were some kind of laser guns. Most likely bought from 'The Handyman'. The lasers were not quite as fast as bullets, but all the same, they would cut through her like a hot knife through butter if she got hit. The solution of course was to focus on evading their aim while returning her own attacks.
Artemis readied her knives as the thugs turned and fired, shooting at the car and at her. The lasers tore right through the car and caused it to explode but Artemis was already on the move, flipping and twisting in the air as she came down and cut through a thug's gun and then kicking him in the jewels hard enough to lift him up into the air with the impact. As he came back down, crying and holding himself, Artemis turned and flung out her knife, slashing a man down the arm.
Artemis tore through the assembled group of thugs, moving incredibly fast as she sped around and sliced at their weapons and bodies, doing just enough to incapacitate them, one by one.
After running forward and dropkicking the last thug through a window, Artemis put away her knives, walked over to the busted ball man, knelt down, grabbed him by the throat and picked him up, lifting up off of his feet and then grabbing a finger on his right hand and breaking it. "Where is she? Where is your boss? Tell me!"
Already in pain, the man sang like a canary.
Dropping him, Artemis allowed the man to catch his breath before kicking him away and walking over to the women, hands up. "You needn't be afraid, I will not harm you. I am here to help this city. My name is Artemis and I am going after the monster who forced you into this lifestyle."
"F-Flamingo? You're really going to bring her down?" One of the women asked, tearing up a little.
"I will break her down and burn her club to the ground. That is a promise."
"Th-thank you."
"Stay hidden and avoid being seen by the criminals. Once this is all over, I'll see to it that you get police protection." With that, Artemis wrapped her cloak around herself and vanished in a burst of smoke.

Not long after, Artemis was standing in front of the first of Lovely's 3 clubs. With it being around mid-afternoon, it was closed right now. But that would not stop her. Artemis ran right up to the door and kicked it down and ran inside. The men assigned to guard the place ran out to fight her. More of the same, but Artemis noticed something else, two men in costumes. Obviously super villains, trained killers hired by Lovely to protect the area.
http://www.deviantart.com/art/The-Flamingo-Kurt-298020002
http://kayshinigami.deviantart.com/art/the-Flamingo-2-colored-305440649
"Who is she bro? New talent?" The smaller one asked.
"No, I don't think so. Probably a superhero wannabe or something."
The men all rushed her and Artemis began thrashing them, brutally beating down the thugs surrounding her.
"...Kinda busting up our guys."
"Eh, we can hire more of them. You want first crack at her?"
"Cool with me." Skull Crusher Flamingo pulled out two metal eskrima sticks and walked over to her as Artemis was finishing off the last of the thugs. She raised her knives and stared him down.

The lasers tore right through the car and caused it to explode but Artemis was already on the move, flipping and twisting in the air as she came down and cut through a thug's gun and then kicking him in the jewels hard enough to lift him up into the air with the impact. As he came back down, crying and holding himself, Artemis turned and flung out her knife, slashing a man down the arm.
Artemis tore through the assembled group of thugs, moving incredibly fast as she sped around and sliced at their weapons and bodies, doing just enough to incapacitate them, one by one.  
After running forward and dropkicking the last thug through a window, Artemis put away her knives, walked over to the busted ball man, knelt down, grabbed him by the throat and picked him up, lifting up off of his feet and then grabbing a finger on his right hand and breaking it. "Where is she? Where is your boss? Tell me!"
Already in pain, the man sang like a canary.
Dropping him, Artemis allowed the man to catch his breath before kicking him away and walking over to the women, hands up. "You needn't be afraid, I will not harm you. I am here to help this city. My name is Artemis and I am going after the monster who forced you into this lifestyle."
"F-Flamingo? You're really going to bring her down?" One of the women asked, tearing up a little.
"I will break her down and burn her club to the ground. That is a promise."
"Th-thank you."
"Stay hidden and avoid being seen by the criminals. Once this is all over, I'll see to it that you get police protection." With that, Artemis wrapped her cloak around herself and vanished in a burst of smoke.

Not long after, Artemis was standing in front of the first of Lovely's 3 clubs. With it being around mid-afternoon, it was closed right now. But that would not stop her. Artemis ran right up to the door and kicked it down and ran inside. The men assigned to guard the place ran out to fight her. More of the same, but Artemis noticed something else, two men in costumes. Obviously super villains, trained killers hired by Lovely to protect the area.

"Who is she bro? New talent?" The smaller one asked.
"No, I don't think so. Probably a superhero wannabe or something."
The men all rushed her and Artemis began thrashing them, brutally beating down the thugs surrounding her.
"...Kinda busting up our guys."
"Eh, we can hire more of them. You want first crack at her?"
"Cool with me." Skull Crusher Flamingo pulled out two metal eskrima sticks and walked over to her as Artemis was finishing off the last of the thugs. She raised her knives and stared him down.  

Skull Crusher struck first, swinging the stick at her head but Artemis raised her arm to block him but blocking his arm with her forearm and he then swung his other arm but Artemis blocked it and the two began dueling, eskirma sticks clashing with the knives at incredible speed. He stepped to the side, knocked her arm down with the sticks but Artemis gave him a shallow cut across his leg with the knife followed by kicking him in the face, breaking his nose with her boot and she then flipped and landed a kick on his stomach. Rolling back, she kicked him 15 feet away with a boot to the head and sent him sliding into the stage.
"Next?"
Beatdown jumped down and ran over to her. He kicked at Artemis and she blocked it but she was knocked backwards onto the stage. It wasn't strength alone either. The man had armor on underneath his costume. Judging by the way he moved, there were gauntlets on under his gloves and metal in his boots. Beatdown attacked again and Artemis flipped onto the stage, sheathed her knives and flipped over him, taking a fighting stance to take him on. Beatdown moved in, using kickboxing to attack her but Artemis was able to avoid his kicks and strikes for awhile before she grabbed his arm and punched him hard across the face. Beatdown stumbled to the side and spit blood from his mouth before coming back for more. He tried a knee strike only for Artemis to dodge it and elbow him in the face. As he was reeling from this, Artemis moved in and kicked him in the chest, kneed him in the chest and then grabbed him by the head and kneed him in the face and pushed him away. The minion was just getting to his feet when Artemis walked over and kicked him in the back of his right leg and then spin kicking him in the back of his head. Artemis rolled her shoulders as she waited for him to get up. Beatdown attacked her again but Artemis calmly dodged his punches and struck back with a rapid fire five hit combination of punches across his face and then hit him with an elbow to the face.
Beatdown fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth. "Who...what are you? What-what do you want? Please...please.." Artemis gave him a hard kick in the ribs that launched him up into the air and Beatdown hit the stairs leading onto the stage and rolled back down them. "That was for everything you have done to the women that you have kidnapped and forced into being your strippers and prostitutes."
"Wh-what...ohhhh....ohhhh Goooodddd..." Artemis walked over and grabbed Beatdown by the neck and lifted him up by the neck. "You know exactly what I am talking about."
"I-I....yes...yesssh...I know. I-I'm sorry, please, please don't punch me anymore!"
"Confess. Turn yourself into the police and confess!"
"Yes...I'll do it! I'll do it! I swear!"
"Good." Artemis then kneed him in the groin and threw him to the ground.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find your boss."
By the time he looked back up, Artemis had vanished.

It took some searching but eventually Artemis found what she was looking for. A group of scantily clad women who were posing on a street corner and flirting with men who passed by. Tatooed on the right and left arms of each woman was the skeleton of a flamingo with a flaming pink outline around it.

Miss Lovely Flamingo had not only forced these women into this lifestyle, but marked them as well, as if they were property or animals. She would pay dearly for this. Running off off the building, Artemis leaped into the air, her cloak billowing behind her and then it spread out, allowing Artemis to catch the wind and glide a considerable distance. She closed it up a bit and flew down and drop kicked one of the men just as he was attempting to force a woman into his car. Her feet caught the back of his head and knocked him to the ground. Artemis sprang up off of him, jumping over to the next burly man, grabbed the side of his head in her hands and drove an armored knee into his face, right between the eyes, taking him down. Landing on the ground, Artemis grabbed his arm, turned around and tossed the man over her head so hard he flew through the air and landed hard on the first man she took out.

She pointed to one of the women. "You." Her voice synthesizer allowing her to hide her real voice with a fake one. "Innocent. Stay with the other women. I have some questions I want to ask these men about their boss."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ONbjH1F_X0
The remaining henchmen quickly started surrounding her. "Damn you lady, who the hell are you?"  
http://paulsizer.deviantart.com/art/REMAKE-The-Flamingo-Poster-135637130
"I am the hunter."

"Shoot her! BLOW HER DAMN HEAD OFF!"

Artemis was too fast though and flung out her hands, throwing out two knives, each of which was tied to a chain around her wrist. The knives stabbed into the right shoulder of one man and through the gun of another. Artemis pulled back on the knives, causing blood to splurt out of the first mans shoulder and tearing apart the handgun of the other and she swung the chains, slashing the chests of the two men before flipping up into the air and backwards, landing on top of the car to avoid the fire from the others. The shots from the guns blasted holes in the brick wall. Apparently those pink guns of theirs were not just for show, they were some kind of laser guns. Most likely bought from 'The Handyman'. The lasers were not quite as fast as bullets, but all the same, they would cut through her like a hot knife through butter if she got hit. The solution of course was to focus on evading their aim while returning her own attacks.

LOL!

And thank you.   

Hitting the second club had been quite easy, about as much resistance as the first. With the women freed and the thugs broken and beaten, Artemis moved on to the largest one, which is where the leader would be.

Looking up at it, she wondered how such a place could be in operation considering the hole that Crime Central was.
Sneaking up to the side, she grappled up onto the roof and walked along the perimeter of it. A couple of guards along the back and one man in front. No problem. Deciding to start with the guards out back, she dropped down off of the roof and landed on the first man, taking him out of commission, and then jumped off of him before he finished falling and kicked the second guard in the face. By the time he was hitting the ground, Artemis was racing over to the other two. She jumped forward and ducked the third guard, kneed him in the stomach and shoved him against a wall before flinging a shuriken into the right shoulder of the last guard. The shuriken's she used were coated in a special tranquilizer liquid that could knock out a grown man in seconds. The thug fell to the ground and tried to pull it out but felt his vision getting blurry and his body going numb. He looked up just long enough to see her boot coming at his face.
With the guards down, Artemis retrieved the shuriken, flicked the blood off of it and continued on, circling back around to the front. She took out the guard at the front door before he saw her coming and walked inside and opened up the door. The guards inside saw the hooded hero walk in and immediately went for their guns, for all of the good that did them, as Artemis was already whipping out her shuriken without even breaking stride, taking out the guards before they could open fire.

She walked around the metal detectors and headed up the stairs to the dance room and opened up the doors. She was greeted by quite the spectacle as the lights turned on and dance music began playing.

An army of guards marched up to greet her, flanked by two super villains, one a large guard and the other a metahuman. Behind both of them though,was Miss Lovely Flamingo herself and she was even larger than Artemis had anticipated.

"A little birdie told me that some dumb outsider had been f-ing with my clubs and beating up my boys, but I never expected you to be so young and small." She lit up a cigar. "Tell you what kid, you've proven that you have some brass ones, so how about you come work for me? I'll pay you triple the wages of my men, and all just to guard me. What do you say?"
"Get down on your knees, beg for mercy, and release all of the women you have abudcted and forced into this life. Do this and I will spare you."
"And if I refuse?"
"I will break your arms and legs. Believe me, Miss Flamingo, I do not exaggerate."
"Watch out boys, we've got a badss over here! But in case you haven't counted, I have an army and you are all alone." She said as more guards walked into the room.
"Yes, I know, it is really unfair for all of you isn't it?"
Flamingo took a puff of the cigar. "Can't say I didn't make the offer to you. Okay boys! Fill her full of holes and bring me her head. I'll be in my office." She turned around and walked away, signaling them to take her down.
The large guard punched her fists together. "Dibs on yanking her head off!"

"I was being kind when I told you to surrender. Everything that is about to happen, you brought upon yourselves."

The henchmen attacked first and opened fire with AK107's.

Artemis was already charging them head-on, the bullets peppering the floor around her but she was too fast for their aim and either evaded the bullets or deflected what she could with the swords. She jumped in the air to attack the first man she reached and jump-kicked him in the face with her armored boot and then, while he was falling down, she ran forward to the left to attack another minion and slice the barrel off of his gun and then she turned around and struck him down with the back of it while also giving the next minion a slash across his arm. It wasn't fatal, but it would hurt. She dodged more gunfire and then attacked a thug, crossing her blades in front of herself to stop bullets and then she slashed apart his gun and kicked him in the pelvis hard enough to break bone, dropping him right then and there. Artemis tossed one sword in the air, dodged gunfire with speed and incredible acrobatics, jumped high up into the air and threw down shuriken, striking a number of thugs and dropping them, the tranquilizing serum already working into their body.
She landed on the floor, caught her sword, turned around and elbowed a thug in the face and then jumped forward 15 feet with ease, landed, slid forward and began spinning and slashing at the remaining thugs with her swords, cutting their guns and bodies. She left wounds but nothing fatal.
"Yeeesh, what is she, a jackrabbit?" The large guard asked as they watched her.
"I'd say she's a ninja."
"A ninja? Really?"
"Okay, Einstein, what's your explanation?"
"...Fine, you win."
"Always do. So you want to take her first?"
"Might as well." She started forward.

Artemis punched one thug down to the floor, kicked him five feet up into the air and then hammered him back down. She then dodged punches from a thug and kicked him in the side of the head hard enough to knock him over and onto his head and he slid across the floor for few feet before stopping.
Sensing an attack incoming, she turned around to see the large guard flinging her body at Artemis. Her stomach collided with Artemis with enough force to knock her backwards a couple of feet before she was able to stop herself and regain her balance. "This is new, never f-ed up a ninja before. You ready to dance little girl?" She smirked and sumo stomped the floor hard enough to leave foot sized cracks in it. "Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Rosey, the Human Wrecking Ball!"

"And here I was thinking you were a human beach-ball."
"Oh I like you, you're funny. I'm gonna enjoy squashing you." She ran forward to attack.
Artemis VS Rosey.
Coming Next.
