Hope you liked the first part. On with it. Agent Black is only a side figure of our Teen Monster Hunters. Today, meet Sally Strong. She is the real deal. Tough, resourceful, defiant.

The guy was forty pounds heavier and a head taller than Sally Storm and looked a lot meaner. He had a flat nose and an ugly look on his face, with his arms raised and ready to attack.

Now, that's going to be interesting, thought Agent Black as she was watching from the visitor seats in the dojo, which was a converted factory floor. She had been in underdog fights before in her life, mostly in bar brawls, so she considered herself to be an expert.

Storm was a fifteen year old redhead, slightly on the small side for her age, but with an athletic body. She circled Mr. Mean carefully, her face serious with concentration, even though she did not managed to shed her defiant don't-care look completely. There had been no violence yet, but it had to happen any second now. Black knew that Sally was a C-average student, with a long list of misdemeanors and disciplinary notes in her school records and always had the last word in anything. She was not a brawler, but a fighter. She lived with her mother in a trailer park at the eastern end of Hawthorne County. Some co-students called her "trailer-park trash" behind her back. But even though all the checkmarks were there, Sally Storm did not give off a single trashy vibe. On the contrary, she was a pretty disciplined person, not having missed a single day of school ever, fiercely loyal to her few friends and helped out in her mother's Desert Creek Café on weekends.

"Kai!" Like a flash, Sally started with two quick shuffle steps towards her opponent, threw two blazing fast side kicks, followed by expertly executed chops to the upper arms. The mean guy had been prepared for her action and did two blocks and took two steps back to give himself room for a counter attack. "Kai, kai!" Sally pounced once more, two fists towards Mr. Mean, and one was blocked, the other made it through, stopped a mere inch in front of Mr. Mean's face.

Ouch, that would have hurt, Black thought.

But Sally hadn't factored in the speed of her opponent. Her fist punches had brought her too close to him, so a foot-sweep of Mr. Mean almost brought her down. But she was quick at her feet, one foot-hold was gone, but the other made a little jump backwards, losing balance, but regaining it. Mr. Mean saw her at a disadvantage and attacked again. Two punches and a chop of Mr. Mean put her in the defensive, all blocked by her, followed by an immediate counter attack of two side kicks again.

Variety, Storm, not the double-kick from the side again! Black tried to give Sally telepathic commands, but of course they did not come through.

Mr. Mean had had the same insight as Black, as they probably had fought against each other many times before. He first punch-kicked her knee, followed by another sweep at her other leg and that landed Sally on the floor.

Fight over! thought Black.

Sally went down with a bang and let out a clearly audible four letter expletive, which was obviously not a Karate term.
