## Plot

### Bonding With Cookie

Part 2 starts with Cookie waiting outside a clinic as Muko is getting treatment for the injuries she got fighting Kalita. After Muko gets out of the clinic, Cookie scolds her for recklessly fighting Kalita, ordering the bunny to get rid of her painkillers.

After the scolding, Cookie gives Muko an action figure of Donkizari, the Continental Champion of Concatta. Cookie uses the chance to explain Muko the concept of the Face and the Heel, the respective heroine and villainess roles in a fight. Cookie shares her old dream of how she wanted to be a Combagal to Muko. Realizing that she wasn't big or strong enough to be a Combagal, Cookie swore to become a manger to help Combagals achieve the same dream she had as a child.

Muko is moved by Cookie's dream, swearing to never disappoint her. She asks Cookie when she'll meet Nyarai, causing Cookie to remember her last conversation with the cheetah. After Cookie accidentally offends her, Nyarai tells Cookie that she will change agencies and fight against Cookie's future Combagals if she doesn't find her a worthy partner. Remembering Nyarai's threat, Cookie is left nervous after about the future meeting of her Combagals.

### Spotter Article

As the days pass, Mellow, the dog who took Muko to her first match, meets Harry, learning from him that Muko became a Combagal. Mellow shares the tale of how he met and befriended Harry, who develops an admiration for him. Mellow then discovers a Spotter article about Muko's fight with Kalita at Cafe Carrots. Concerned, Mellow calls Muko and asks about her manager. Upon learning that Cookie is Muko's manager, Mellow tries to warn Muko about her manager's past. Unfortunately, Muko hangs up on him to greet her sister.

Saniko, Muko's older sister, is horrified to see Muko covered in bruises from her fight with Kalita. The conversation turns into a passive-aggressive one when Saniko points out Muko failing at achieving her dreams and Muko calling out Saniko for not supporting her endeavors. Saniko has a breakdown due to the stress of taking care of herself and Muko, causing Muko to coldly tell her that she's not their mother. The two sisters then go to sleepy, with Muko promising to win her debut with Nyarai at her side.

### Meeting Team Executor

The day before, Cookie and Nyarai met Team Executor, their future opponents, to discuss their debut match. Cookie wants a first win for her Combagals to prevent them from becoming a Jobber team. She even bribes Dinedon, the manager of Team Executor with 20,000 Moni to get the match started. With the match settled, Cookie talks with Nyarai, who reveals the Spotter article about Muko. Adelgund, the Masato Champion, reads the article and develops a liking towards Muko, stating that she'd like to fight her over Nyarai. With the match settled, Cookie goes to search Muko to celebrate the birth of Team Deliverance.

As it turns out, Muko is at Monyan, believing that the meeting will take place there. Muko meets Tasha, the owner of Monyan, who tells her how Cookie started living there. Two years ago, two clients tried to rape a couple of Monyan girls. Skully, Cookie's Combagal at the time, saved the Monyan girls by beating up the rapists. As gratitude, Tasha allowed Cookie to live at Monyan after her Combagals left. Unfortunately, Muko gets distracted by Tasha's beauty, which causes her to not realize Cookie's past.

Muko gets a call from Cookie, who informs her that she's at the Steppin Wolf club. Muko dashes towards the place, but she literally melts at the sight of the attractive canine strippers. Cookie finds Muko and drags her to the meeting. Upon seeing Nyarai, Muko gets excited as she tries to meet her partner. However, her lack of social skills causes Nyarai to dislike her.

Cookie introduces Team Executor to Muko, telling her that she will fight Adelgund and her partner Peki Polight at the Masato Championship Match. Upon seeing Adelgund, Muko is distressed at the thought of having her first furry fighting match with a masculine Combagal.

### Masato Match

Days pass, and the Masato Match starts. Rinko, a rabbit Combagal defeats her opponent with a moonsault. After that, Snuggly, a popular idol Combagal sings a song before being challenged by Tanka Talon. Despite Snuggly's best efforts, Tanka Talon easily dominates her. The night continues as more matches take place. Eventually, the main event arrives.

Cookie enters the ring for the first time in two years to introduce Muko and Nyarai as Team Deliverance. The crowd is unmoved as Muko and Nyarai enter the stage. Muko is suffering from performance anxiety at being in front of thousands. Upon seeing Mellow and Harry, Muko recovers her confidence. Afterwards, Dinedon arrives and introduces Team Executor, who are met by a round of applause.

Adelgund is the first one to step in the ring. The Masato Match ends with the first one to defeat her. Muko is the first one to face Adelgund. Upon seeing her up close, Muko gets intimidated. Remembering her goal of fighting attractive Combagals, Muko regains her fighting spirit. When the bell rings, Muko charges at Adelgund.

The fight with Adelgund becomes one-sided as Adelgund manhandles Muko thanks to her size and experience. To make things worse, Nyarai refuses to tag Muko to prolong her suffering. Eventually, Muko finds an opening and hits Adelgund with some moves Cookie taught her prior to the match. Suddenly, Adelgund tags Peki in. As Muko prepares to find Peki, Nyarai calls out to her and demands to be tagged in.

### Team Firestorm

After getting tagged in, Peki and Nyarai attack each other. Before their blows can connect, Shun Gonfano enters the stage, telling both Combagals that they shouldn't fight since they are both Wilds. Instead, they should fight Cookie, whom Shun classifies as their enemy. Shun accuses Cookie of tainting the spirit of furry fighting by fixing the match. With the Cyclone Crushers acting as bodyguards, Shun reveals a tape recorder revealing Peki bribing Dinedon.

With the crowd turning on Cookie, Shun capitalizes on the moment to ask Peki and Nyarai to fight by his side. Realizing it's time for her true debut, Nyarai joins Shun and the Cyclone Crushers. She advises Peki to do the same since she's Adelgund's prisoner and lives in her shadows. Adelgund orders Peki to stay, but Peki leaves Team Executor to form Team Firestorm with Nyarai.

### Nyarai's Betrayal

Having been abandoned by their partners, Adelgund integrates Muko into Team Executor. Muko realizes Nyarai's betrayal when the cheetah stands in front of her in the ring. Muko tries to appeal to Nyarai by stating that they are friends, but Nyarai states that there is no friendship between them. Nyarai starts torturing Muko, who can't get away from her. Muko, crying from the physical and emotional pain, reminds Nyarai about Cookie's efforts to help them. Nyarai mocks Muko, telling her that Cookie is a devastator of dreams.

Cookie tries to appeal with Nyarai, telling her that working with Shun is dangerous for her career. Nyarai reveals that she worked for Shun long before she hired Cookie. She was forced to erase her furry fighting record when she moved to Botaun and was helped by Shun regarding a past issue, as long as Nyarai acted as a mole to tell Shun about her comeback. Cookie is hurt by the betrayal, but gets shocked when Nyarai reveals that she's doing this as revenge for Freydar, whose life Cookie destroyed.

Muko, crying after the torture Nyarai gave her, asks the cheetah why she betrayed them. Nyarai responds by slamming Muko's head into the mat, making her bleed and cry for mercy. Enraged by Nyarai's cruelty, Adelgund tags in and faces the cheetah to defend Muko's honor.

### Adelgund's Face Turn

Adelgund easily defeats Nyarai with a single strike, breaking her nose. Realizing that she will faint by blood loss, Nyarai tags Peki in before fainting out of the ring. Shun refuses to give Nyarai medical treatment, instructing the Cyclone Crushers to leave her close to the ring and focus on watching the match.

Peki and Adelgund fight, with Peki using her speed and knowledge of her former partner's fighting style to hold the upper hand. Adelgund eventually catches Peki with outside interference of the Exe-Cutie-Ves, her personal cheerleaders. Adelgund demands Peki to tell her why did she betray her, causing Peki to have a flashback.

Back in 1991, Adelgund was very unpopular for her looks and strength. With Peki's advice, Adelgund revised her fighting style and the two became the Masato Champions in 1994. The following year, Dinedon forces Peki to take a Heel Turn to attract customers by appealing to Wild prejudice. She's supposed to fight Adelgund for the Masato Championship and lose to her, becoming a prisoner for rehabilitation.

To Peki's distress, Adelgund supports Dinedon's decision, forcing her to lose her fans and self-respect by becoming a Heel. A year later, Peki was forced to take a Jobber position to get Team Executor victories by disqualification. When trying to talk to Adelgund about it, her partner told her to bear with the pain. Remembering Adelgund's refusal to listen to her pain, Peki breaks free from Adelgund's hold and uses her original boxing style.

Peki gets the upper hand on Adelgund, who asks her why she betrayed her since she was supposed to perform a Face Turn by following Cookie's plan. Peki reveals that she saw Adelgund having sex with a stripper at Steppin Wolf, which she made into the latest member of the Exe-Cutie-Ves. Heartbroken, Peki starts pummeling Adelgund, who resorts to breaking the penguin's arm to win.

Peki's screams of pain awaken Nyarai, who asks Peki to tag her in. Heartbroken, Adelgund crushes Peki's legs and assaults the referee, causing the fans to turn on her. After some crawling Peki tags Nyarai in and is taken to the infirmary by the Cyclone Crushers as Nyarai prepares to end the fight with Adelgund once and for all.

### Nyarai Unleashed

Adelgund and Nyarai exchange blows, with Adelgund having the upper hand. Adelgund puts Nyarai in a Spine Breaker hold that forces her opponent to surrender or get crippled with a broken spine. Nyarai escapes the hold by breaking her own spine, horrifying everyone present. Surprisingly enough, Nyarai manages to stand thanks to popping her spine in place with her unnatural flexibility. As Nyarai contorts into unusual positions, she states to Adelgund that submission holds are useless on her.

Nyarai uses her Leg Jet Burst to force Adelgund into a defensive stance by throwing a volley of powerful kicks. Realizing that Adelgund will lose, Muko tries to tag her in, firmly believing that she's a nice person. Adelgund refuses to tag Muko in even after her arms got paralyzed from blocking so many kicks. Knowing she will lose, Adelgund gives Muko some advice before her defeat, telling her to embrace pain and use it as an armor to become a strong Combagal. Nyarai ends the fight by delivering a powerful kick that breaks Adelgund's jaw and gives her a concussion.

### Masato Match Aftermath

With Nyarai's victory over Adelgund, Shun crowns her the new Masato Champion. Cookie confronts Dinedon backstage, having figured out that he sold off Team Executor to Shun for money. Dinedon states that Shun bribed him after their meeting, and refuses to hand over the bribe Cookie gave him earlier since it's legally his due to Cookie giving it to him as a gift. He retires from furry fighting as he can't keep up with the world. Elsewhere, Shun pays Miho, the latest member of the Exe-Cutie-Ves for seducing Adelgund in front of Peki.

Cookie meets with Muko, who asks her about the life she took. Realizing she can't hide the truth Cookie explains that Freydar was her most powerful Combagal two years ago. Because of her hubris, Cookie overworked Freydar, causing her to develop a painkiller addiction that resulted in her getting seriously injured in her last match. The Cyclone Crushers that stood with Shun were Cookie's former Combagals too, who blamed her for what happened to Freydar at Trilamity Day.

Muko confides to Cookie that she feels ashamed for her poor performance in the match. Realizing how selfish her reasons for becoming a Combagal were, Muko quits furry fighting. Having lost her two Combagals on the night she was going to make her comeback, Cookie sinks into despair.

### New Start

Three days after the Masato Match, Cookie is confronted by Saniko. She tells Cookie that Muko has been depressed since losing her debut fight. Saniko demands Cookie to help Muko out of her depression and apologize for the trouble she caused to her sister. Cookie refuses out of guilt, until Saniko threatens to call the police on her for getting Muko hurt at Cafe Carrots and the Masato Match.

Cookie visits Muko and apologizes for failing her. To help the bunny with her depression, Cookie shares her personal story with her. After the events of Trilamity Day, Cookie sold her Combagals to Shun, assuming that they were going to leave her anyway. She attempted to use Shun's money for a comeback, but she failed and became an alcoholic instead. One night, she ended at Club Nighthawk and discovered that her former Combagals were hostesses. After causing a scene, Cookie loses what little respect her Combagals still had for her when Shun pays her to leave. Humiliated, Cookie swore to make a comeback.

Cookie's story snaps Muko out of her depression. Muko asks for another chance of being a Combagal, as she wants to be a better person, starting with beating Nyarai in the future. The two reconcile, much to Saniko's disapproval. After a fight, Saniko allows Muko to continue furry fighting. However, Muko must leave Saniko's house to learn some maturity.

Muko moves to the Champubator Agency, swearing that she will move out once she can afford an apartment. As Muko and Cookie celebrate their reunion, Kalita suddenly kicks the door open. Cookie believes that Kalita wants to be her Combagal. However, Kalita replies that she's a loan shark and demands Cookie to pay the loan she made. Part 2 ends with Kalita about to rumble if Cookie does not eet her demands.

## Trivia

* With a length of 13 chapters, Part 2 is more than twice as long as Part 1.
* Despite Muko and Cookie appearing in more chapters than her, Nyarai is the main character of Part 2 due to the Masato Match being focused on her debut fight rather than Muko's since she was bound to defeat Adelgund regardless of whether or not she betrayed Team Deliverance.
* Nyarai is given many chapters and focus on this part to make up for her only having one chapter in Part 1.
* Ironically enough, Kalita only has one chapter appearance at the end of this part to make up for Nyarai's lack of spotlight.
