Another world Game Developers in Japan`s 1991

After clearing the third stage, Yoko continued her journey in Karate Bunny, eager to see what awaited her next. The fourth stage took place in a peaceful yet ominous village setting, now overrun by Wokami's minions. The variety of enemies increased significantly—Bull-Men charged recklessly, Poison Frogs spat toxic projectiles, and a brand-new foe, the Rock Monkey, appeared. These mischievous primates perched on rooftops and tree branches, constantly throwing stones at Buntei from a distance.

"Damn these monkeys! Annoying as hell!" Yoko gritted her teeth as she swiftly dodged a barrage of rocks. She carefully timed her movements, jumping between platforms and countering with precise strikes. After several tense moments, she finally reached the village square, where the boss of the stage awaited her.

This time, the opponent was another of Wokami's elite warriors—Serifire, a towering red wolf with burning claws. He let out a fierce howl as flames erupted from his body. The battlefield was filled with platforms, forcing Yoko to keep moving to avoid getting burned. Unlike the previous bosses, Serifire had a new trick up his sleeve: a projectile phase where he launched small fireballs in rapid succession, forcing Buntei to jump between platforms while looking for an opening.

Yoko remained calm under pressure, skillfully utilizing her Air Charge attack to weave through the flames. After an intense battle, she finally landed a finishing blow, knocking Serifire to the ground. The screen displayed a victory message, and another Golden Carrot appeared as a reward.

"Heh, not bad!" Yoko smirked as she navigated the upgrade menu. As usual, she invested in attack power, eager to maximize Buntei's damage output. However, she was pleasantly surprised to see an additional reward: Buntei's Charged Attack had evolved once again. Now, if she held the charge slightly longer, the attack's range would increase, making it easier to hit multiple enemies at once.

"Whoa, another cool upgrade! This is getting better and better!" she exclaimed.

With renewed excitement, she pressed forward into the final stage—the ominous fortress of Wokami himself. This stage was a gauntlet, featuring a mix of every enemy she had encountered so far. The castle halls were littered with traps—falling spiked ceilings, collapsing platforms, and spinning saw blades designed to halt Buntei's advance. Yoko maneuvered carefully, eliminating foes and dodging obstacles as she climbed higher toward the throne room.

Finally, she reached the grand chamber, where Wokami, the great wolf king, awaited her. Unlike his subordinates, he carried himself with a menacing air of confidence. The text on the screen displayed his dialogue:

"Mere bunny, seeking revenge? Hah! Do you think you stand a chance against me? I am unlike the others."

Wokami then shed his robe, revealing his battle-hardened body. Covered in scars, his muscular frame was adorned with skull armor, and his glowing green eyes burned with malice. The final battle commenced.

Wokami had five distinct attacks:

Pounce – A lightning-fast leap across the screen that required perfect timing to dodge.Triple Strike – A sequence of three swipes: low, mid, and low, forcing the player to jump in rhythm.Wolf King Roar – If Buntei was too close, Wokami's roar would stun him, leaving him vulnerable.Claw Slash – A long-range energy attack that could only be negated with a fully charged attack.Frenzy Mode – At low health, Wokami became faster and more aggressive, chaining his attacks together unpredictably.

For the first time, Yoko found herself struggling. She had been breezing through the game so far, but Wokami was a different beast entirely. The timing of his attacks was brutal, and dodging his Pounce required pixel-perfect precision. After several failed attempts, she clenched her fists and muttered, "Alright, you big bad wolf, let's do this!"

This time, she focused entirely on studying Wokami's patterns, dodging his Triple Strike with flawless timing and countering his Claw Slash with perfectly charged attacks. When his health dropped into the red, he entered Frenzy Mode, attacking relentlessly. But Yoko remained calm, anticipating his movements and landing precise hits whenever she found an opening. Finally, with one last devastating Charged Attack, Buntei struck Wokami down.

The screen faded to black, and the ending cutscene played:

"Buntei had fulfilled his revenge. He had defeated Wokami… yet, it was not enough."

The scene shifted to Buntei, standing tall with clenched fists. His expression was determined.

"I must continue to grow stronger. I must protect my people."

With that, Buntei vowed to keep training, ensuring that his tribe would never suffer again.

The words The End appeared on the screen.

Yoko leaned back, letting out a satisfied sigh. "Not bad. Really solid game."

Just as she was about to turn off the console, a prompt appeared:

Golden Buntei Unlocked!

Description: Golden Buntei is the ultimate version of Buntei, having trained for years. Starting a new game with him grants full upgrades from the beginning!

Yoko's eyes widened. "Interesting! A powered-up version? Let's see what it can do."

She selected Golden Buntei and started a new run. Right away, she noticed an unexpected surprise—bosses now had new dialogue when encountering him. Instead of their usual bravado, they seemed wary and afraid.

"Haha, nice detail!" Yoko laughed.

As she progressed through the stages, she arrived once more at Wokami's throne room. However, this time, the dialogue was different.

"You… You are strong… I must give it my all!"

Without warning, Wokami swallowed a strange red pill, his eyes glowing fiercely as he let out a monstrous howl.

"What?! A new form?!" Yoko's hands tightened on the controller.

This version of Wokami had additional attacks, higher speed, and even more unpredictable movements. He was stronger than before, but Yoko had already mastered the game. After another intense fight, she emerged victorious once more.

The ending played again, but this time with an alternate conclusion:

Wokami, gasping for breath, stared at Buntei in disbelief and said in text. "I took the pill of strength… How? How could I still lose?"

Golden Buntei stood before him, calm and resolute. "True strength is not gained through shortcuts. Only through hard work."

Wokami let out one last growl before collapsing. With his defeat, the battle was finally over.

Yoko grinned, setting down the controller. "That… was awesome."

Satisfied, she stretched her arms and turned off the console. It was time for a well-earned rest.
