“Well if that isn’t the most... Hey! I shall remember that!” Seira yelled after the retreating team. 

She doubted they heard her over the stampede. [i]I have to get Camron out before he suffocates himself![/i] The young lady bit her lower lip. She tested wiggling her toes. First toe, second toe… good! She flexed her right foot up and down. A loud cracking sound followed her swift kick. Taking in a deep breath she gave her concrete prison one final kick. The shell burst open sending debris flying everywhere. 

Seira threw out her hands to break her fall. She winced as she scrapped the palms of her hands. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead. Her skirt was torn in various places. Strands of hair that escaped her chignon cascaded down her face. Pearly white teeth gritted as the Asylum forced herself up. The lethal looking curved metallic blade jutting out from underneath her right shoe made it harder for her to stand up. She looked up and froze. People were staring at her. Not one or two people but quite a sizeable group. She had to do something fast!

The crafty novice brushed the loose strands back then curtseyed. Hearing no response from the crowd, she looked up and pretended to be annoyed. “Oh come on people, some applause will be good.”

Lukewarm applause came from a couple while the rest stared at each other in confusion. The Asian girl clapped along with them despite the palm radiating from her palms and soon more people joined in. She curtseyed again. 

“Much better. Thank you!” She shouted energetically. “I am very happy that you can join us for our little dojo demonstration. Let me demonstrate our secret technique on my partner.”

She brushed aside murmurs of concern from the crowd. “He is a good actor, isn’t he? Doesn't he look like he is hyperventilating?”

“Okay! Stand back please,” Seira yelled as she lifted her right leg.

She had to pretend to be oblivious that her skirt was riding up her thigh and that many are getting a perfect view of what was underneath it. The Asylum swung her foot back and forth rapidly. She closed her eyes as she focused on building up enough moment. Her eyes shot open as she channeled all the energy into her foot. 

“Kiai!”

The cement envelop shattered freeing the other Asylum from its confines. Camron landed on the ground in an unsightly heap. A flash bang rolled out of Camron's pocket and stopped near Seira’s feet. She picked it up and held it behind her back as she turned to the crowd once more. She changed her right shoe changed back into the white high heeled shoe she was wearing earlier. A few people were pointing and whispering. They could not believe what they witnessed a few seconds earlier. She ignored them. 

“Now I will show you where our camera crew are. Please look where I am pointing and smile.”

When most heads were turned, the metal manipulator threw the grenade into the air. Screams filled the air as the crowd surged forward. Seira grabbed Camron’s hand and they vanished in a nick of time. Any later and they would have been trampled to death. Neither realized that they had been caught on camera by a nearby television crew.
