Polydeuces

As Grant is close to reaching Liam, Liam himself is struggling to fight Xythis as his attack barely seem to do anything and all Xythis does is push him and flex his masculine body to the audience. Liam feels his body growing tired and weak.

Xythis shouts at Liam from behind, saying "Face it kid." As he continues to ignore looking at Liam, indicating how he is beginning to show disinterest in looking at Liam, "You're nothing like me. I am built like a god whereas you... You're nothing more but a nobody in your brothers shadow..." saying this made Liam upset, Xythis continues talking "Its a shame your brothers not here, was looking forward to fighting him than a pint sized shrimp like yourself-" suddenly, Liam punches Xythis in the back, causing him to move forward and hit the metallic chained walls. The crowd stopped cheering upon seeing Liam pushing Xythis.

Liam dashed backwards and says "Whose the shrimp now, shrimp?"

Xythis just grins menacingly, then followed by his laughing. He stands up anf looks in Liam's direction with a murderous expression. "You got a big set of balls for a little man like yourself." Xythis neck cracks as he prepares to actually fight. "Let see what you got JK Simmons." Xythis immediately went in to attack but Liam dodged it and this continued for a while. Xythis scoffs and says "Theres no point in dodging my fists kid, you're going to lose energy sooner or later. Just give up!"

Liam proceeds to take advantage as Xythis swings his left fist. Liam dodges it and goes to the back and attacks Xythis from the left rear deltoids, causing Xythis to flinch and swing a massive turn and use his leg to hit in the face. Liam was sent flying and hit the upper part of the chain wall, almost able to escape the ring.

But due to the strong kick to the face, Liam was unable to respond properly. Xythis snaps his fingers and instructs his men to get Liam down from the tip of the chain wall. As Xythis' men were about to get Liam back in the ring, Grant appeared and immediately decimated them. Herald, who had remained on the ground throughout the fight, managed to rise up but was unable to properly fight with the shards of glass in him.

"Grant Geminus!" Xythis said with such enthusiasm, "To think that the man hiring us wanted to recruit you to the cause. I can see why."

Grant responded "Tell your boss that he can shove his request up his ass because I'm already taken!"

Xythis smiled and said "No, not yet." Xythis continued to instruct his men to bring Liam down from where he was while he dealt with Grant. "How about a little friendly sparring match? Me and you?" Asked Xythis.

"No." Answered Grant with no interest at all towards Xythis, upsetting him a little.

But Xythis had other ideas as he said "I'm afraid you don't have a choice..." and saying this, he immediately charged at Grant but suddenly, the lights went out, leaving sparks violently appearing and frightening some of the audience. Grant, Herald and Liam were puzzled by this until one by one, they disappeared alongside Yuri from the VIP room. Xythis saw this and immediately tried capturing Grant but he was too late.

After the sparks stopped and then eventually the lights returning back on, the four had already escaped, enraging Xythis to the point of throwing a tantrum in front of the the crowd.

The announcer dashed into the ring and immediately announced "Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologise for the inconvienience but due to the issue that just recently occured, I am truly story to say that the fight for the rest of the night will be cancelled." Most of the audience wrnt quiet while those who were supporting Xythis were angrily shouting at the announcer, they continue "Please note that we will be handing out refunds to all of you. Again, I am truly sorry and I can only hope you will come back soon. Thank you." Saying that, the announcer ran back inside the building to avoid being attacked by Xythis.

Back in the hideout, Liam was resting after that kick from Xythis with Grant sitting beside him, worried. Jessica was also there and willingly offered to help Herald in getting rid of the glass shards, while he and Yuri were also recovering from the previous incident. Yuri was also working on the computer with the data logs that he and Grant copied from the other Mohawk Base.

Jason made himself a cup of coffee, appearing distraught. With the cup of coffee in his hand, he sat down. He tells the guys "I... I can't express to you all how much I am sorry for what you had to-"

Before Jason could say more, Grant interrupted him, "You're sorry? You're sorry..." He looks at Jason and stands up, he continues "Do you have any idea what that bastard did to my brother?! Do you?! Look at him!" Grant walks closer to Jason and makes him look at Liam. "THAT PRICK DID THAT TO MY BROTHER AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SAY SORRY!?!" Grants tone indicating immense anger and remorse for his brother. He slowly calms down and continues "You know, I should never have made Liam come here, I should have told him to leave it but NO! I had to be the sympathetic bastard on your ass and look what its brought us! With very limited resources and no leads on what the hell to even do?!"

"Grant, calm down!" Said Jessica.

But Grant responded "No I won't, Jessica or whoever the hell you claim youself to be! My brother is in this mess because of him!" Grant points at Jason with spite. He lowers his finger and leaves the hideout, saying "I'm going out for some fresh air."

Jessica is about to go after him but Yuri stops her, saying "I'll go talk to him." And despite the injuries, Yuri gets up and talks to Grant.
