(Within 20 minutes of aggressive combat, Mugane and Karla were then in combat with each other, Mugane specializing in a balance power, strength and focus while Karla's feline-like instincts allowed her into becoming the perfect fighter as neither of Mugane's close combat attacks weren't enough due to Karla's hair mane acting as if it was a shield for her body.)

"Mugane (Thinking): What the hell?! It's like I'm punching actual chromium!!"
"Karla: Its a shame. For the Sixth Ranked God of Combat, you actually can't break through my hair?"
"Mugane (Aloud): Tch! What the hell is this?!"

(With Karla then kicking Mugane's incoming backfist above his head, Mugane would throw his fist down into the ground with force to destroy the street and crack the surrounding streets as Karla then takes advantage of a street lamp which she is currently swinging onto before launching herself at full speeds towards Mugane, landing a direct punch to the chest and drags him across the battlefield, throwing him into a pile of abandoned cars.)

"Karla: Just like a male lion's mane can reach certain levels of thickness, a lioness's mane is exceptionally rare to the feline race. My mane however is as strong as layered steel."

(With Samai rushing in for her next attack, her legs were currently generating a small current of wind for a surface version of the Twister Kick. Karla would then turn her eyes to the side before countering Samai's incoming attack with the back of her heel before landing a perfect leg sweep and plants her fist into the ground where Samai was laying before she suddenly escaped quickly. With Karla noticing Okabe and Inoue who've released their backup sword stepping up toward Karla, she'd scoff with a sneering smirk before sliding her thumb over her nose and with the blink of an eye, Karla has wiped out the remaining three currently standing with three destructive kicks each to the skull before walking away disrespectfully.)

"Karla: That's how you take care of misfits. Three has their beatdowns and..."

(With no intention on turning around, Karla expected an incoming clothesline from Dryomov but to his surprise, it was parried by a strong grip on her hand.)

"Karla: ...Three to go."
"Dryomov: ..I don't know what the hell you Marines are, but none of you will stop us from killing Michael..! Don't you Marines have backup or anything..?!"
"Karla: I have gunner soldiers guarding those three in the car wreck. If you'd like to make the difficulty more burden-like for you, do you want my men to use their Anti-Superhuman Rifles or not?"

(Dryomov would then stare in disbelief at the question before scoffing and proceeding to attack Karla in which she'd let her hair block the attacks. With Dryomov then using another hidden component to stun his enemies, he'd use his left hand for an uppercut in which was caught into the hair.)

"Dryomov: THE HELL?! M-MY ARM! I CAN'T FREE IT!"
"Karla: You're not strong enough to cut off my mane. So unfortunate for you, not even the second strongest God of Combat can defeat the second strongest Marine. Makes me think I should've beaten all of you a long time ago."

(With a destructive elbow to the side of Dryomov's face, he was then implanted into the ground, splattering after the impact would be massive amounts of blood forming it's own pool as Karla then wipes any blood off of her face while awaiting for Xin to wake up.)

"Karla: Now, with those three down. I should make the call until Xin decides to wake up."

(With Karla putting in a call for a containment squad, Xin was seen bleeding to death after colliding with a heavy loaded lead wall as he was then hearing voices surround his head as his brain was slowly shutting down.)

"Xin: ..."
"Cocky Bully (Voice): You call that Martial Arts?! You're pathetic, just do yourself a favor and die already!"
"Angry Martial Arts Master (Voice): You're late. Whatever your excuses are, save them for the road. Because you're EXPELLED!"
"Scared Female (Voice): What even are you..?! Don't touch me!! HELP! I'M BEING ASSAULTED BY A STRANGER!!"
"Prideful Martial Arts Black Belt (Voice): You are not worth the dirt on my fists. I'm not teaching my lessons to a low rated tart."
"Sun Jie (Voice): ...You are not meant to be part of The Mythical Five... Xin."

(With Xin sitting and listening to every cruel, crowding voice in his very head, he'd clench his left fist as his conscience then took over to speak.)

"Xin (Conscience): ...All I wanted was to become strong enough to prove to everyone I've met, that power has no limit. To show the world why it must be controlled.. But I was wrong. Nobody would believe me for even a second... When I was left with no other choice, I... I've killed my first Martial Arts master. I've adapted and stole his martial arts as my own! If I can't have the people understand the price of power, I will become the ultimate source of Martial Arts. I will be the Martial Artist who never shows fear to any enemy, the emperor of every known art... THE SUPREME MARTIAL ARTIST OF THE WORLD!"

(With Karla meeting up with her soldiers, she would then pause as a growing aura was coming from the exact area where Xin was kicked and sent toward. With Karla then turning around as it was the fight she's expecting, she'd begin to notice the exact vengeful aura she's felt years ago would return.)

"Karla: ...Men, take those three far away from this area, pronto. Get Michael out of here, too!"
"All Soldiers: ON IT!"

(As Karla's soldiers then acted immediately, footsteps were heard echoing out of the rubble as it was as Karla expected, Xin walking out of the tunnel with his entire body and head coated from head to toe in blood and life-threatening bruises... With a deep inhale and a slow exhale, he'd then open his bloodshot eyes to speak to Karla.)

"Xin: ...You Marines are one of the very roots of my problems. As much as I despise the Ackermans, the Marines are second on that list... You bastards screwed me, fucked up my life.. and made me suffer with these inescapable thoughts circling my head for YEARS!"
"Karla: I'm not interested in your sob story, Dragon Warrior. Us being your problem is something you've done to have us hunt you down for the rest of your life. We can gladly care the hell less about what you're feeling or what's your story. What matters is we take you down, so we can focus on the problems of today!"
"Xin: ..."
"Karla: If you can't think of anything else to say, your moments of breathing ends. Prepare to die."

(With Karla then rushing at full speed to Xin for a killing blow, Xin's eyes would snap open as he'd then dodge the attack in time.)

"Xin: THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG!"
"Karla: ...!"

(With a destructive punch into the ground, the streets were then destroyed along with the surrounding buildings crumbling into the ground.)

"Xin: I REFUSE TO DIEEE!!"

(Karla would immediately launch herself from the rubble to stay afar from Xin as she acknowledged his aura and his audible roar as if he was an actual dragon.)

"Karla: This presence, it's dangerous...! Where is the rest of the backup..?!"

(With Karla then shrinking her mane controllably, she'd then reposition her mane hair into a long ponytail, allowing her to freely move more in this fight. As Xin's own mouth would then smile and reveal his own bloody teeth, he'd take one step and as if time stopped, Karla at the final second blocks Xin's kick, which was faked for a powerful stomp onto the ground, blasting Karla into the skies with multiple blocks of debris. With Xin's speed exponentially faster than before, Karla with her feline reflexes launches herself to the ground after landing her feet onto a piece of floating debris. Suddenly, Xin would catch up as if it was no trouble at all and with Karla defensively acting faster than before, the two were then engaged in aggressive hand to hand combat as the two were fast enough for their flurry of attacks to create a typhoon of wind in which Xin's strength was allowing him the upper hand while Karla was left with no choice but to back away quickly. With Xin once again closing the distance, the trap was then set as Karla then anchors her right foot onto the ground and with a charged burst of speed, Karla would deliver a swinging hook kick to the right side of Xin with her steel toe heel, the kick both piercing through his liver and rocketing Xin once again through a building as things seemed quiet for now...)

"Karla: ...Is that my blood? It's been a few years since I've been cut in a fight..."

(Karla would then clear her nostrils with a deep snort before spitting out a rocket of blood coated snot, acknowledging that she can no longer take this fight as a joke but was more concerned on Xin awakening for a second time rather than knowing Superhumans can only awaken once.)

"Karla: What the hell was that...? I thought Superhumans can't awaken more than once, what the hell could be causing this kind of phenomenon with the Dragon Warrior..?"

(With the building right next to Karla then crumbling with cracks forming around the entire building, Xin would return with a loud roar and finally, lands a bone crushing blow onto Karla's off guard body, forcing her to spew a trail of blood right out of her mouth as Xin's punch rockets Karla across the destroyed battlefield before being caught by five of her soldiers.)

"Male Gunner #1: Captain Pearce!"
"Karla: S-Shit... I let my guard down... Xin's punch shattered the left side of my ribs.."
"Male Gunner #2: Quick: We have to hold him off!"
"Male Gunner #1: MEN! Form positions, protect the captain!"

(With Karla put out of commission in exactly one punch, her entire gunner squad would then begin firing their rifles filled with Anti-Superhuman bullets, powerful enough to penetrate through their thicker skin and flesh along with certain chemicals to intoxicate the insides of a Superhuman. With Xin ignoring every single bullet being fired into him, he blitz at full speeds and loops his way around every single gunner in Karla's squad, including the one whom was tending to Karla's injury as she was then stunned to see Xin holding a count of 18 heads in both hands while each and every headless body then collapses onto the ground. Karla then intended to continue to fight as she struggled to stand, even if it was for her life.)

"Xin: ...Only an idiot would bring me a free lunch. You talked a big game earlier, saying you don't have the time for my sob story... Only this time, I'm going to enjoy telling your Marine friends how I killed you until they start bawling their eyes out for you!"
"Karla: ..Y-You.. Monster... Those men.. My men... had a family... And you t-took their lives from them..."
"Xin: Tch, humans who value family are the biggest kiss-asses I've ever met. You fight for people you love, want to protect and cherish for? Ha, don't make me laugh. True weaklings like yourself would never understand why family is the weakest link to any fighter. I don't need friends, I don't need family... And I sure as hell don't need a disciple."

(Karla would then feel physically sick at the cruel words he has just said as Xin then purposely dropped every single head onto the ground and sneered at the downed Karla before resting his foot on a blonde haired gunner with brown eyes.)

"Xin: This guy had a family, you say?"

(Xin would intentionally squash his head into paste in front of Karla with his own foot as both Xin's shoes and Karla's face was coated in blood.)

"Karla: You heartless p-prick..! I'll STOP YOU!"

(As Karla nearly got onto her feet, she would fall onto both knees, feeling her entire left side of her body shutting down from the shock she's feeling inside her very body from the attack.)

"Xin: Oh I'm just having fun..! Only seventeen more heads to splatter... This black haired guy had a family too right?"

(Xin would then squash the second head into paste as Karla was once again splashed with blood.)

"Xin: How about this guy with red hair?! Did this piece of shit have a family too?!"

(Xin would once again stomp onto another head as Karla was then again, splashed with blood.)

"Xin: Or what about this guy?! Or this one?! Or THIS MAN RIGHT HERE?!"

(Xin would then stomp on three more heads as Karla looked away but refused to let his actions win her over in losing control of herself. With Xin stomping and squashing the rest of the decapitated heads down to the last one, Karla was on both knees, staring down at the ground in silence that she felt like a failure.)

"Xin: Aw, what's wrong? Done begging for me to spare your men? Too bad they'll be washed away by the next downpour of rain."
"Karla: ..."
"Xin: It seems like you finally understand what I've been trying to tell you. You let family be your weakness and its why you were unable to beat me. Oh well, better luck next life!"

(With Xin attempting the same style of decapitation he's used to kill Karla's gunners, Xin's entire arm was punched back with enough force to slightly send Xin almost into the air and with a thundering blow is Karla firing a connecting punch before using one of her brutal killing finishers in melee combat.)

"Karla: DEMOLITION BARRAGE!"

(With Karla's consecutive punches would impact onto Xin's off guard body and force the body to recoil and take double damage with Karla's punches landing at speeds above 300 mph as Xin was the rocketed across the multiple buildings within Beijing. With Xin caught completely off guard and sore, he was left with no time to defend himself as Karla's next attack allowed her to flash step back into range for a kick to blast Xin into the sky. This also being one of her multiple finishing attacks.)

"Karla: SPIRAL WIND!"

(With the kick connecting onto Xin's body, he'd then being forced into the air by a controlled tornado of wind to confuse the vision of the enemy and then tear apart any normal individual's flesh into mincemeat. With Karla then in the air with a successful jump into the air, she'd clench her deep purple bruised left fist lands her ending combo attack:)

"Karla: HELL POUNCE!"

(With an immediate flash step, Xin was then blasted directly back into the ground by Karla's left fist delivering a devastating final blow as craters due to the crashlanding were turning into massive sinkholes managing to swallow up debris and downed buildings everywhere. With Karla landing on both feet now, she would then breathe heavily and angerly as she was truly left with no other choice.)

"Karla: ..I avoided using this form for I might lose control of my humanity... But you, Xin Sui have made it clear to me. You're not a human or a Superhuman, you were brought into the wrong world, someone of pure unadulterated evil.. cannot live on the same Earth as me."

(With Karla's presence becoming increasingly more dangerous, low growls would be heard coming from her as well as her claws grew four inches longer, her vision and senses all enhanced drastically along with a yellow stripped tail revealing from her backside and black stripes would appear across the back of her body down to her legs as her fangs and eyes then revealed themselves both as sharp and her eye pupils turned red in anger. With the release of a full roar of a predator, Xin pulls himself out of the wreckage and frustratedly jumps out of the sinkhole, bruised and beaten as he stands in front of a transformed Karla, revealing herself to be Half Human, Half Feline, a major Superhuman Experiment which was a satisfactory success.)

"Karla Pearce (Age: 29 | U.S Marines First Sergeant | Nickname: Lioness | Superhuman Model: Feline): As of this very moment, expect no second for you to breathe. I will be flaying you open until you're nothing but discarded flesh!"
"Xin: ...Flay me open..?"

(Xin's hands would instinctively be raised before he controls them into a Martial Arts pose, ready for more high speed destructive combat.)

"Xin: If The Mythical Five's own Tiger stood no chance, killing a Feline Modeled Superhuman would be me playing exterminator... And I love the chance to kill an untamed feline."

(With nothing but pure hatred toward one another, the next fight between two awakening monsters were about to continue...)
