Sekarvu wasn't the only one getting fisted, however, as Rath was having his own little threesome with a pair of teenage girls.

The fist in question, Strength's, was currently hammering him, over and over, into the ground. One, maybe two, more strikes, and he'd be through the bridge entirely, plummeting into the water below.

Strength paused. "Will you yield?"

"N... never..."

Ruby, tugging at her collar, expressed her concerns. "Strength, I think he's had enough."

"I'll tell you when I've had enough," Rath said defiantly, struggling to pull himself out of his fist-shaped crater.

Strength sighed. "...As you wish." She reeled her fist back, ready to perform the final strike.

When suddenly!

"Proto Buster!"

A charge shot flew across the bridge, tearing up the pavement as it grazed the road on its way to Strength, who stuck out her hands in an attempt to block the blast. Though she was successful, the force of it still managed to push her back, a good couple meters from Rath's broken body.

"What the heck?!" Ruby turned to look at the new arrival, but was interrupted by a pair of glowing hands breaking through the bridge underneath her, and grabbing her feet. "What the heck?!" The hands proceeded to pull down hard, embedding her halfway in the road. "What the heck is going on?!"

"I'll take this," Proto Man said, sauntering past her while placing his hand on her scythe. "Oh, this is interesting tech you got here."

"Hey, don't touch that!" She pushed against the asphalt, struggling to free herself.

Proto Man pressed a button on the side of his helmet, letting out a ting! sound. "Don't worry, I've got everything I need." He held out a hand. "Now, get up."

"...Huh?"

"I'm helping you out of the bridge. C'mon."

"O-oh, uh, thank you." She took his hand, and with the added leverage they were able to easily free her. "But why?"

"So we can settle this evenly, of course." Blues held out his off hand, materializing his Proto Shield from mid-air. "I'm nothing if not honorable."

"Well in that case," Ruby said, gripping Crescent Rose, "bring it on!"

Meanwhile, Strength was looking around. Proto Man was clearly the source of her attack, but where was the one who'd pulled Ruby through the ground? As she waited for her hands to stop smoking from the blocked blast, she heard something, faintly.

"Dragon Fang!"

She quickly dodged to the left, as a glowing fist, followed by a muscular man, emerged from the ground below her in an uppercut. Immediately she counterstruck, throwing a right cross at the Iron Fist. Danny, however, quickly taking in his surroundings, deflected the strike with a chi infused cross hand block. He followed it up with a finger strike to the side of the fist, embedding his hand in the Ogre Arm.

"You're pretty strong, kid," he said, Strength twitching nervously at the distressing fact that she had a hand inside her hand. "But you're not going to keep up with Kunlunquan." He twitch his finger slightly, causing the Ogre Arm to contort backwards on itself. "Huh, I guess this is pretty accurate to an actual arm. The pressure points are in all the same places."

Swiftly, he pulled something out of the arm, an internal mechanism of some kind, before swatting the now limp hand out of his face. "You're still just a kid, so I'm gonna go easy on you. Just don't--"

"Grah!" Strength turned swiftly on her heel, attempting to stab Danny with her scorpion-like tail.

"Woah! Unexpected!" Danny caught the tail under his arm, before spinning around quickly, flipping Strength over his shoulder before tearing the tip of the tail off entirely.

Strength let out a cry of pain. "Agh!"

"Look, I'm trying to let you off easy here, don't--"

"You won't stop us! We're going to get that prize!" Strength began throwing dozens of punches with her three functioning arms, the speed of which caused them to blur for the naked eye. "Oraaaaa!"

Danny ducked and weaved between the flying fists. He realized this wasn't going to end unless he ended it himself.

The punches, though inaccurate, covered a lot of space due to the sheer size of Strength's fists, so he had to act decisively. Continuing to weave through the blows, he carefully eyed his foe, waiting for an opening. It took a second, but eventually... there.

He dashed forward, stopping short before her. Mere centimeters separated the two.

Time seemed to slow down for Strength as she realized just how soundly she was about to be defeated.

"The Power of Chi!"

Danny turned his leg, and focused all of his remaining chi into his hand. From the waist, he threw his most powerful move.

A one-inch punch.

The effects weren't immediately noticeable, with a distinct third-of-a-second pause between impact and Strength choking up blood. She slid backwards across the entire length of the bridge, carving the road with her feet and trailed by a spiraling stream of chi.

She only stopped when she smashed into a car, crumpling the vehicle around her body on impact.

Strength was beaten. Unconscious.
