T'Challa stood up and immediately charged forward. M'Baku swung his staff in a wide arc above his head and brought it down heavily against the shield. T'Challa dodged the following few blows, but taking advantage of T'Challa's unstable footing, M'Baku landed another strike. T'Challa was knocked to the ground, losing his grip on both his shield and weapon.
T'Challa rolled away several times to put distance between himself and M'Baku, then got to his feet, removed his mask, and clenched both fists into a combat stance.
Seeing that T'Challa was left without weapons or shield, M'Baku taunted, "It seems the gods who protect your royal family have abandoned you. Hahaha..."
