(nah i can handle chance...just know this...even if he's scared as hell chance knows one of the basic rules of conflict is to act like you have control of the situation no matter what the odds are)
"and what would you like too know...robin i beleive it is?" He asks as though he was talking too a buisness partner. "altough im curious how you managed to find me? I guess oracle is a bit mroe then i took it too be." He shrugged.
****
"My grandfather is no coward shiva. he didnt want what he knew to become part of a monster like you. and whether or not i win i promise: you wont think of this as wasting your time."

(I'm a bit suprised the Chance knows about Oracle, much less her connection to the Bat-Clan. She is the world's best kept secret.)
"Shut up," Robin growled. The room fell into complete silence Rarely did anyone talk to Chance in such a mater much less a child.
"You will call off the contract with Lady Shiva. NOW."
This wasn't a request. This was an order.
****
Shiva smiled evily at Shinobi. "Trusting naive little fool." She cupped Adam's face in an almost seductive matter. "You ninja's always talking about honor, about staying true to your word. You grandfather broke his word. His agreement he made with me."
In speed that Shinobi had never expected, Shiva's leg shot out, kicking him squarly in the chest and knocking painfully into one of the Alice in Wonderland statues. "And you will pay for his weakness, boy."

(well chance has his own information network...he keeps tabs on all possible threats...and i think blockbuster knows about oracle...soooo chance would at least know of oracles existance...meh chance is also a certified genius)
"If only it was that simple my freind." He said keeping an amiable tone. "But i've already paid. And the real fight has already begun." He says rolling one of the trenchcoat sleeves up looking at a watch. "game over and checkmate. now im sure you can show yourself out."
(...thats just ASKING for an asskicking) ****
Shinobi quickly caught his breath and was on his feet again. He immidiatly took a defensive stance leaving only one hole...of course question is...was he baiting her or was he really unaware. "Oh? and you have power? because you can murder. let me tell you something about history. my family has given japan and especially the tokugawa shogun's some of the most capable spies and assasins in history. when they thought they were necissary." He was trying to catch his breath fully and figure out a real strategy. He knew stories of his ancestors wouldnt intimidate her.

Robin face broke into a sinister grin. "Actually, you haven't paid her," he said darkly. "As of right now, any and all forms of currency that you try to access will be conviently lost and transfered somewhere else. And that includes the money you already put into Shiva's accounts."
"Lady Shiva isn't getting jack."
He moved in darkly, nearly an inch from Chance's face. "And when Shiva finds out you've stiff her, you're screwed. So call her off now, before you end up as a smear on the wall."
****
"You talk to much."
Shiva was already growing bored and the fight had barely started. She back handed Shinobi and executing a reverse hook-kick followed by a knee to the stomach.
"Are you going to fight boy, or should I just kill you now?"

"Just guaging my enemy shiva. guaging my enemy." Adam replied taking the offensive now feinting a punch but really grabbing the coller of her shirt (gi leotard...whatever) and moving to preform a take down. He was good at contact but his specialty was grappling. He also felt some minor security in the fact that he was wearing some pading. THe wrist and arm guards, shin guards, and a chest guard. probably not amounting to much against her but it helped slightly. *****
"I see. this time it seems i've been checkmated. but let me tell you something robin. You, batman. they say you dont exist. they say the same about me. even oracle will find it difficult to track me. hell oracle would find it totally impossible to discover who is behind my own mask. I've made sure of it. all i need to do is slip away. dissapear and create a new identity. you see. they thought i was dead before. and each time i came back more powerful then ever." He said cryptically. (no not in the doomsday sense of coming back) (and yes oracle doesnt know who chance really was in part because even I dont know who he really was before becoming chance)

Shiva allowed Shinobi to grab her collar, and attempt to take her down. Yet as he was about to do so, her hand flew out like a cobra, striking his arm in a pressure point. As the sharp pain ran throughout Shinobi's arm, Shiva's hand moved at near super-human speed striking Shinobi again and again in the chest and stomach with punches. She then executed a reverse low hook-kick knocking his legs out from under him.
She back flipped away from Shinobi's own attacks and landed in a smooth casual stance. "Think less about guaging boy, and think more about the afterlife."
She leapt into the air and somehow twisted her body in such a way it didn't seem possible, throwing her foot out and once again striking him in the chest.
***
Robin didn't blink. He had heard this sort of thing before. After so many super-villian tell you this sort of thing almost every week, it starts to loose it's impact. "I'll give you one thing, Chance. You've got one hell of an ego."
Robin leaned in towards the crime-lord and in amazing speed both his arm flew out grabbing Chance by the collar of his shirt and pulled him onto his desk and close to Robin's face. "You think you've got us beat? Think again."
"You think the world's a huge place and you can hide anywhere, right? I'm here to tell you... that world? We own it."
"And your world is getting smaller by the second Chance. You can't hide us. Every database, every secutiry camera, every government system has our eyes and ears. Every country has our agents. If you try to re-invent youself, we WILL know about it."
It was needless to say, Robin loved this part of the job.
"Every moment you try and best us, the noose around your neck pulls tighter. And Chance, just in case it isn't CRYSTAL CLEAR by now..."
Robin threw Chance back into his chair. "No body screws with us."
Robin stepped back, and it was as if he were litterally melting into the shadows. "You better call Shiva now, Chance. Before she see's her bank statement."

"hmm and i though the ninja was annoying." Chance sighed preparing to make the call. *** Shinobi thanked whatever gods and spirits were around he had used padding. He might be hurt but he wasnt coughing up blood at least and quickly got on his feet. "Why so concerned about my afterlife." He said making a few attacks of his own. all easily evaded. "could it be the assasin has a soft spot?"

(You actually think a bit of padding is going to help Shinobi? This is lady Shiva. She can breakdown a brick wall with he fists alone. Shinobia should have several of his ribs already snapped in half, padding or not. Oh well... I guess I need to up the attacks... )
Shiva's face was unreadable, as she easily dodged each and everyone of Shinbi's attacks. His voice alone was growning on her nerves. She be doing the boy a favor by ending his pathetic life. "You are an idiot child," she said in a flat voice. She exectuted a high kick to Shinobi's face striking him across the face, followed with another kick. She then executed several strikes to his ribs until she could feel several ribs snap under her onslaught. She executed an upper-cut to his jaw. As he stumbled backwards, she glared down at him. "Before you die, you will be fortunante enough to have your last sight be my greatest attack: The leopard Blow." *** Robin fired a grappling hook and was swinging across the New York skyline. His plan had worked. Chance had no choice but to release Shiva from her contract and the crime lord now knew that he had to fear the Bat-Clan and their allies. Now he could only hope that Shiva hadn't already killed Shinobi.

(well...think of it as a placebo...plus..she WAS holding back...)
Shinobi felt fear but didnt let on...however another shadow signaled help as enoki grabbed her arm. "Still picking fights with other students i see."
****
"Yes. inform her of the turn of events." Chance stated simply then turned too his security camera...

(No, Shiva wasn't holding back. She only didn't kill him, because she was playing with him. You really need to read more Shiva stories dude... )In Gotham City, Barbara Gordon AKA the Oracle watched on her computer screen as Chance turned to look at his security camera. She gave a small smile. "Checkmate." ***** Shiva easily pulled out of the grasp of her former-master, and front kicked him in the chest, before executing a back-flip getting out of Enoki's reach. "This is not your fight old man," she spat. She relaxed into a more calm stance. "You are still a senial old fool. Always preaching about duty and honor and yet you can't keep out of other people's buisness. Such a hypocrit." Her voice was as calm as the sea, but if one were to look at her eyes they could see a fire burning.

"No point in checking. if they could get in here no doubt the camera's were disabled." Chance said calmly. "time too exicute plan b."
***
"My duty is too keep my grandson alive. i dont want my daughter too spend the rest of her life mourning the death of her son." He said with a smile too lady shiva.
"But...she is right..." Shinobi said pulling himself too his feet. "Its MY fight."
"If YOU continue you'll-"
"Die. i know. but...you said yourself sometimes the battle that must be fought is also the one you cant win." Then he calmly turned too lady shiva masking the pain from his broken ribs. "Shall we continue?"
"Stupid arrogant stubborn thick headed fool!"
(yeah...note too self: buy that 'kung-fu fighters' comic with richard dragon and lady shiva... i just assumed she'd want too take out some aggression on adam for enoki...so she'd wanna keep him alive longer...OH right...for some reason i cant get too the new site could ya let the others know for me?)

Oracle raised an eyebrow. "Plan B...?" She let out a laugh and leaned back in her wheel-chair. "There is always a plan B...?"
***
"Shall we continue?" Shiva said.

"no doubt your freind left a bug in here. So your going to find out eventually. Assasins from groups tend too have freinds who object when i betray and kill them. That is why i hire those who work alone. like lady shiva. Even as im speaking too you oracle some of my group are preparing for the end of the fight. no matter who loses. i win. and even if shiva does survive. i'll be long gone from here." He said as he left the room the lights shutting off and the computer in that office deleting everything in its files. ***
"Isnt that what i just asked?" Shinobi said making a charge but instead of an attack he preformed an ukemi roll too his backpack pulling out first his mask (dont ask why...something of a comfert i guess) and with it two kunai and through them with pinpoint accuracy at lady shiva's shoulders and in one swift motion pulled on the mask.

(Um... Shin, Oracle was only observing Chance through the video camera. She wasn't talking to him.)
Shiva rolled her eyes and easily avoided Shinobi's blade, caught his hand and twisted Shinobi's wrist until there was the sound of Shinobi's wrist being broken.
"Pathetic."
***
Oracle out a dramatic sigh. "What an ego..." Barbara had already long since downloaded ever mega-byte of information from Chance's computer systems, the minute she had hacked into his security system. His system was good, but in comparision to her computerized-information monster it was equal to a child's speak-and-spell.
"Oracle to Robin. It's just like we though," Barbara said turning on her com-link with Robin. "Chance is going to try and betray Shiva. They're set to take down the winner the instant the fight is over."
"I've got my agents watching Chance. They'll notify me on where he's headed."
***
Robin landed on the outskirts of Central Park in a croutch. He broke into a sprint and entred the park. "Understood Oracle. Do you think he's found our little suprise?"
"I doubt it," Oracle smiled. "The man's so full of himself, I suprised he can go through doorways."
