Get Ready

Muko and Cookie start their furry fighting journey.

## Chapter Info

**Chapter 2: Get Ready** is the second chapter of Furry Fight Chronicles that begins Muko's journey to become a Combagal. It also introduces Cookie L'Asagne, the deuteragonist of the comic.

## Summary

Muko, the bunny from the first chapter, arrives to Cafe Carrots. Her boss, Manugo, calls her out for arriving late. Muko doesn't care, voicing her desire to become a Combagal and smugly quits her job. Manugo doesn't care about Muko's intention, focusing on watching a mad scientist's Robo-Maid to see if she's a valuable asset. When she malfunctions and attacks a customer, Manugo orders the scientist to leave with his invention. He then kicks Muko out of Cafe Carrots since she was a bad maid anyway.

No longer bothered by having to go to work, Muko goes to meet her new manager at Monyan. To her surprise, her manager's agency is in a soapland. She meets a Monyan girl, who decides to take her to meet Cookie. Muko asks if Cookie owns Monyan, but the Monyan girl explains that her boss let Cookie stay there because of a favor she did two years ago.

Muko arrives at the Champubator Agency, which is actually the janitor's closet in Monyan. When Muko enters, she finds Cookie working on her computer. She greets Cookie by surprise, scaring the squirrel, who calls out Muko for nearly giving her a heart attack. Muko introduces herself as Cookie's new Combagal, surprising the squirrel since they were meant to meet somewhere else in Tendonchi. Muko says that it was more convenient to meet Cookie by visiting her in person. Wanting to make a good impression, Cookie quickly starts cleaning her office, promising that it's a temporary one.

Cookie introduces herself as a trainer and promoter of Combagals, promising that she will make Muko a champion. Muko notices that Cookie is smaller than she imagined, causing an angry Cookie to retort that she is tall for a squirrel. Cookie has Muko sit down, acknowledging that she's in poor financial condition given the state of her agency. However, she voices her hopes of making a comeback now that Muko is her Combagal, believing that she'll get enough money to turn her luck around. Muko asks Cookie when she will learn to fight, revealing that she's an amateur whose knowledge of furry fighting is based on gravure magazines.

Muko states that she saw her first furry fighting match the previous day. She voices her inspiration upon seeing the real thing and her lust about fighting attractive girls for a living. However, becoming a Combagal requires years of training before being accepted at a school or agency. She found Cookie's agency on the Internet, promising new Combagals that they will have their first match within a week. Cookie states that Muko has no training, experience, and has ulterior motives, but she's happy to accept Muko as her Combagal. Muko hugs Cookie against the squirrel's protests while Cookie mentally voices her relief at Muko not reading the bad reviews of her agency.

Cookie tells Muko that she has a tag team partner, causing Muko to think of the Terrifying Tigress Twins. Cookie explains that tag team fights are more popular than solo matches. She then explains the Queens of Fighters Tournament, an annual tournament in Tendonchi where the champions of the seven city-states compete. Muko is excited about meeting her new partner, but Cookie informs her that Nyarai works at Club Diamond as a hostess, so Muko will have to wait.

Muko is surprised at Nyarai working as a hostess despite being a Combagal. Cookie explains to Muko that Combagals build fan support by taking extra jobs, participating in game shows, or accomplishing challenges. With enough fan support, a Combagal can go for title matches. Cookie points out that her role as Muko's manager is to promote and train Muko so that she can get matches. Cookie tells Muko to meet her the next day, as she needs to make some preparations to start Muko's career.

The next day, a worried Cookie is walking around Tendonchi. She worries about ruining things like last time. Her mood improves when she finds a coin worth one Moni, deeming it a good omen. Muko arrives, causing Cookie to compliment her on her fashion sense because it provides fanservice. Cookie tells Muko that she's going to show her to the world, by making her work at Cafe Carrots. The chapter ends with Muko's shocked face, as she quit her hated job yesterday and will be forced to work there again.

An extra content shows Muko and Cookie talking in the previous day. Cookie asks Muko why she has a bump on her head, causing Muko to explain how she got it. After the fight between Fenny and Roora, Muko went backstage to meet them. Security guards stopped her, telling Muko that the two were showering. Feeling motivated, Muko uses her strong rabbit legs to jump over the guards, running towards the shower rooms. Muko opens the doors just as the guards tackle her. The sight of the naked Combagals leaves the guards paralyzed. Muko asks Fenny and Roora how can she become a Combagal. Fenny, not minding the intrusion, tells Muko that she needs to get a manager from an agency. Roora, angry at being seen naked, interrupts Fenny by ordering the intruders to get out. She kicks Muko in the head, sending her and the security guards crashing into a wall. Back in the present, Muko says that she considers the bump as Roora's autograph, causing Cookie to think that maybe Muko has potential to be a Combagal.
