[QUOTE="KenM, post: 2950430, member: 7583"] 29. The Bride from Kill Bill The Bride, codename "Black Mamba", was a former member of "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad", an elite, shadowy group of assassins. A formidable, ruthless warrior trained under martial arts master Pai Mei, she served at the right hand of Bill, her boss and lover, a position that provoked the furious envy of the other Vipers, especially Elle Driver, who was also Bill's lover. Kiddo, a master of the crane style of kung fu, was the only Viper to learn the "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique," a method of killing an assailant by quickly striking five pressure points around the heart. Pai Mei refused to teach this technique, which was said to be 'the deadliest blow in all of martial arts' even to Bill. Kiddo abandoned the dangerous life of an assassin after she learned she was pregnant with Bill's child. She faked her own death, hid in rural Texas under the name "Arleen Machiavelli," and got engaged to a young man named Tommy Plympton. Bill found her, however, and gate-crashed her wedding rehearsal with the other Vipers and murdered everyone inside. Bill then shot her in the head, leaving her in a seemingly irreversible coma. She remained comatose for four years, during which she was repeatedly prostituted and raped by an orderly named Buck. Awakened just as one of Buck's "clients" was about to violate her, she killed Buck and the would-be rapist, and then went on a mission to exact revenge on the other Vipers. She first traveled to Japan, where she trained under the legendary swordsmith Hattori Hanzō, who forged her one of his priceless katanas. After killing Vipers O-Ren Ishii and Vernita Green, she went after Budd, Bill's brother, who incapacitated her and buried her alive in order to collect a bounty from her old rival, Driver. She escaped, however, and went back to Budd's trailer — where he lay dead of a black mamba bite, with Driver standing over him. Driver engaged her in battle, and revealed that she had killed Pai Mei as revenge for tearing out her eye. Enraged, Kiddo tore out the other one and left Driver to die in the middle of the desert. She then pursued her final target, Bill. When she found him, however, she discovered that their daughter, B.B., whom she presumed had died in utero, was alive and well. They spent the evening together as a family until B.B. went to bed, and then Bill and Kiddo settled their differences; Bill explained his reasons for nearly killing her, while she admitted she couldn't be happy as anything other than a warrior. They did not make peace though, and at the end of their conversation a brief battle ensued where Kiddo killed Bill with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, and disappeared with B.B. in the middle of the night. Their whereabouts are unknown. Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrix_Kiddo" [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/KenCM/uma_thurman_kill_bi_111495a.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
