Nine Versus One

I travelled to Tianjin incognito as Detective Wong, with Master Jin Lao in tow. I used my connections with the (remnants of the) Chinese Ministry of State Security to arrange a flight under the cover of bringing a Chinese national back to the homeland for protective custody. This allowed us to avoid the scrutiny of Dr. Destroyer's minions, but as we made our way to his apartment; we were ambushed by eight minions of Dr. Yin Wu. These men and women were clad in traditional Chinese armor (roughly of the Ming Dynasty era), complete with helmets and deadly jian/tang swords (capable of penetrating armor). They used their superior numbers to surround me and knock out Master Lao, as well as injuring me with their penetrating blades.
 
I remembered my training, calling upon power of the Yengtao Dragon coupled with my knowledge of 4 different martial arts to battle the eight warriors. My best tactics involved Pakua blocks and dodges, followed by Hsing-I counterstrikes. Using these tactics, I managed to knock out half of them. Then I punished the lucky warrior who had managed to wound me by breaking the same arms that had swung the deadly blows. Meanwhile, a truck unloaded a gyro bot and sped off. The bot flew in to engage, but I noticed its arrival. I remembered a trick that Nightwind had taught me: the "sucker attack." This involved positioning oneself in between two enemies and then dodging at the last minute, using one of the inaccurate enemies to take out the other (the "sucker").
 
Time seemed to slow down as I saw the gyro bot close in and open fire with a powerful energy blast. I then performed a graceful dodge maneuver, throwing the unconscious Lao Jin up into the air as I did so. I landed behind the unwary Wu warrior, catching Master Lao as I did so The Wu warrior turned to face me, puzzled, and then was blasted 20 meters through a nearby wall by the bot's attack. This put a smile on my face, as I knew the Yengtao masters would be proud of me. The remaining 3 warriors, plus one who had woken up, charged at me but backed off when they noticed that their robot might not be on their side.
 
Their hesitation was costly, for this gave me enough time to lay Master Lao onto the ground. I performed the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon as I leaped into the horizon, landing on top of the robot. The robot could barely process what had happened when I grabbed its limbs and ripped two of them off with super-strength combined with a Tai Ch'i joint break. The robot blasted me as it went down, the two of us crashing onto the recently re-awakened Wu warrior. I was left panting, exhausted from the fight- but the three warriors all looked at each other, then at the fallen robot, and then at their fallen comrades and decided to call it a day. Two of them ran after the truck, while the final one initially pursued his fellows and then leaped back to try to surprise me as I recovered.
 
However, his timing was off as I had already recovered some of my spent endurance. I recognized that he was the other minion who had landed a couple blows on me, and effortlessly blocked his attack. His eyes grew as big as saucers as I stunned him with a counterstrike. As he fell to his knees, I calmly walked over and broke his arm- tossing him into the heap with his unconscious comrades. Thankfully for them, I wasn't in a killing mood- but I was in an arm-breaking one. Nevertheless, I had more important priorities. I scooped up the reawakened Master Lao, running into the apartment. The two of us cleaned out the apartment before most of the Wu minions could reawaken, and those that did decided to carry off their wounded comrades instead of facing another painful beatdown.
 
We went running off into the shadows with the Master Lao's mystical research in tow. I called the New Champions for a rendezvous, knowing that I would need the rest of the team's help to deal with a seeming alliance between Dr. Yin Wu and that of Dr. Destroyer as well as to carry out my mission from the Yengtao Temple.
