NO!

She can't think like this!

Kanami closed her eyes and thought about everything that led up to this moment. Her training with Freya, her first pupil Gecko. And then there where the battle's she fought. Kyan-Kyan, Gecko, Kappa, Spirit, Sexy-Knight, Valkyrie. All powerful(kinda) opponents and all defeated(sort of) by her.

She had to endure so much in that time, she avoided four bad ends and suffered a six month long hiatus. All of it made her stronger, so much stronger then she ever was before.

Kanami was no longer the clumsy ninja from the start of the story and she will prove that. Right here! Right now!

“Ho? What's this now?”, Sour giggled. “It actually looks like you want to fight us. But that can't be it can it? Your just a weak little ninja girl, you can't possible...”

“Full Power Fire Fox!”

A mighty stream of fire poured out of the ninja's hand directly at Sour. The magic Galmon created a barrier in defense.

“Eeeeeh? You call this magic? How cute!”, Sour laughed. “But seriously...”

“Be careful, Sour!”

“Eh?” Sexy-Knight's warning barely came in time. The magic galmon quickly jumped to the side before her shield collapsed. “No way...”

“Don't underestimate me!”, Kanami shouted. “I will beat you, you stupid Sour!” Kanami whirled around and slashed with her kunai at Sexy-Knight. “And you too, you stupid big boobed bimbo!”

“I-I'm not big boobed!” Blushing furiously, Sexy-Knight attempted to stop Kanami's assault. It wasn't until Sour supported her with a Fire Arrow, that she could jump away to a less exposed position.

“Impossible!”, Sour cried out, taking a step back “Why is this little ninja-girl so strong!”

“We underestimated her”, admitted Sexy-Knight while furrowing her brow and reading her shield. “Stay sharp, Sour!”

“No way! I'm Sour! I'm super popular! There is no way I'm going to lose against someone like youuuuuuu!!!!” Focusing her power, the magic Galmon charged her strongest spell: Fire Laser.

Letting out a mighty roar Kanami readied her kunai once more and charged into battle.

And for the first time in her life, Kanami believed in herself.

30 seconds later.

“Ugh...” Kanami barely managed to hold herself up on her feet, battered with sword strikes and magic spells. The fact that she lost her skirt in the battle and now had to cover herself up didn't help either.

“Do you know why you lost?”, asked a victorious Sexy-Knight, having her sword trained at the ninja, ready to deliver the final strike.

Because I put my entire stamina into that first attack.

“It's because you did not have the power of friendship at your side”, declared Sour. “The moment you abandoned your friend, your cause was lost.”

And charging head first into a Fire Laser, wasn't the smartest tactical choice either.

“True justice...true power is in the HEARTH, not in something VILE like you!”, added Sexy-Knight.

“What does that even mean!”, Kanami screamed frustrated.

Sexy-Knight shook her head. “I pity you, fiend. You will never understand this.”

“I hate my liiiiiife!”, Kanami cried out before Sour bonked her on the head with her broomstick, knocking her unconscious.
