Battle

Shifting from Grant to Liam, as both he and Herald are pretending to enjoy themselves at the VIP room, hosted by Xythis, the leader of the Mohawks gang. The two look at each other with worrying expressions, believing that their identities will be exposed.

Xythis, drunk, walks up to Liam and Herald and splurts "Hey, what the hell are you idiots waiting for? Drink up!" His tone sounding intoxicated. Xythis then snatched the drinks off them and proceeds to drink all of it in one go while the people in the back are chanting "Drink, drink, drink!"

And after Xythis empties the bottles, he throws it violently towards the servers, almost hitting them. The people in the room roared with amusement and proceeded to ask for more from the servers.

Herald leans next to Liam and whispers "We have got to get out of here..." but Liam was unable to hear him due to the guys loud voices in the background. He attempts to try speaking again to Liam but he gets his security name called, forcing him to seperate from Liam.

Seeing this, Xythis takes advantage and shouts "All right!" And doing so, the guys stopped what they were doing and all looked in Xythis' direction. He continues "Do forgive me for the intrusion, ARGH, I'm actually not sorry! Why would I apologise to ya!" Xythis breaks down laughing, followed by the guys except for Liam and Herald. "Anyway..." Xythis said, continuing on, "I have found the sense of urge in my body... To have a little 'friendly' battle with someone!" The guys mumur towards another, puzzled but also curious as to who he will call on. Xythis lifts his finger and taunts them as he hovers it around them before pointing it at Liam. "It's gonna be... You!"

Some of the guys were whispering to themselves with one saying "Oooooh, this guy is done for." And another saying "Pray for that little punk because he about get his ass annahilated."

Liam looked around and saw their scary faces, causing him to dash out of the room but some of Xythis' men stopped him and dragged him closer to Xythis' shoes. Herald attempts to stop them but some of the guy prevented him, saying "This ain't your fight pal now stand down."

Herald wanted to do something. He wanted to prevent Liam from getting hurt but he could tell that he was no match against Xythis' but despite this, Herald pushes the guys aside and attempts to attack before suddenly, Xythis kicks him close to where the glass was. Herald collided with the glass, causing it to crack and for him to fall onto the stadium floor, thankfully nobody was there to receive any cuts. The crowd watching the fight and even the fighters stopped and looked in the direction where Herald was kicked. Grant and Yuri were shocked to see Herald on the ground, glass shoved into his suit with small signs of blood visible. They then looked at the shattered glass where Xythis stood.

He snapped his fingers and said "Boys..." with a frightening and menacing tone "Bring my meat into the ring."

Xythis' men nodded and dragged Liam down below to the stadium. Xythis lept from the VIP room and in front of the brutally beatened Herald. He walked past him, not showing any interesting in finishing him off.

Yuri, worried, says to Grant "We have to stop that lunatic before he lays a finger on Liam or Herald!" And Grant agreed. And so the two were about to leave but they were stopped by Grant's sister, Jessica.

She told them "I'm afraid thats not possible you two." She pointed Grant at a small engraving on Xythis's back neck "You see that dried up scar-like thing on his neck? Thats an engraving but not just any engravings but the engraving of Amycus."

"You mean Amycus, as in the boxer in mythology who fought people to death?" Noted Yuri.

"Yes." Answered Jessica "Which means that you two aren't capable of facing off someone as intimidating and ruthless as Xythis."

Despite what he was told by Jessica, Grant still ran out of the room saying "Yeah, well... I'm not going to let some punkass killer boxer hurt my family!"

The guards were about to chase after him but Jessica rose her hand up and told them "Let him go." But she then pointed at Yuri and said "Keep this one away from the door." Yuri immediately dashed for the door but was too late as the guards blocked his path.

Liam was dragged into the ring by Xythis' men with boxing gloves. He was face to face with him, his eyes appearing glowing bright red and the veins on his muscle appearing intimidating and with a big grin on his face with razor sharp teeth.
