"It's time for the next fight!" said the announcer.

Everyone roared around the arena.

"Step out, the unbeatable! Crusher and GodArmor!"

Bright clear spotlights were aimed at two men as one raised his hands to the wild crowds.

A camera scoped in and the TV from Finch's screen zoomed closer as he smirked.

"And newly registered fighters, RedTarget and BXSkeleton. Step out!"

The rest of the spotlights were aimed at Yi and Arnold as they stepped out.

Spectators from above burst out of laughter at the sight of Yi's appearance saying, "The hell is a diseased shit doing here?"

"What a fucking waste of time! Not even worth betting for."

"Go home, kid!"

They threw cigarettes and soda cans at Yi.

Both kept walking and a can splashed on his head. Arnold snapped, pulled a revolver from his right holster, and shot in the thrower's direction.

An energy shield raised and the blast exploded on it as the crowd went silent.

Arnold flourished his gun into its holster. "Alright! Onto the arena!"

"What was that?" Yi said, walking.

"Explosive bullet skill. It has a 15 seconds cooldown though."

"Oh…"

When their feet climbed the stairs, Arnold frowned at the sight of their opponents. "This is bad…"

"Wha- why?" Yi said.

"We're fighting a Morphier and a Bio Soldier." Arnold's body shivered.

"Any plans?"

Arnold scanned them with his lens and his pupils constricted. "They're… level 50…"

"Translation, please!"

"They are close to experts with lots of powerful skills, way out of our league."

"So can we win or not?"

Arnold's eyes focused on them. A man on the left, hunching with something on his back and a tight yellow suit, clenching his oval mechanical gauntlet wearing a steel gas mask shielding his face. Equipped with a steel chest plate and shoulder guards.

Next to him was a bulky man clad in dark and navy stripes steel armor. Helmet with a curved tusk, and sharp crimson visor, dragging his Meteor Hammer.

"A chemical bio soldier and elephant armor morphier…"

"That bio soldier is hunching… Side effects?"

"What does that mean?" Yi said.

"I don't know. But if it is a side effect from his character, then what we could do as ours is limited."

Yi clenched his jaw as he set his eyes on their enemy.

"But thanks to that, I have a plan."

Yi turned and said, "Really? What is it?"

Arnold leaned close to Yi.

"What are those frail rookies whispering about? Do they think they could stand a chance against us?" said GodArmor.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

"Perhaps. That space cowboy seems to know what's going on," said Crusher.

"I doubt. We'll break them just like we did before."

Crusher stood still, staring at Arnold.

"Do you get the plan?"

Yi nodded.

"Good! Let's go!"

Yi took a stance, eyes locked on Armor.

Armor scoffed, spinning his hammer.

The announcer raised toward the glass wall with his mic close. "Begin in three! Two!"

"Fire jet…"

"One!"

"Maximum!" Yi burst at Armor.

Armor swung at him but it missed when he switched trajectory to Crusher.

"What!" Armor said.

Crusher dodged it and dug a fist into Yi's chest as he vomited blood inside his helmet.

"YI!"

"You need more practice, boy…"

"Hmrgh!" Yi raised his fist with bloodshot eyes.

Crusher startled and shot an acid from his wrist on Yi's chest.

The body flew away. Arnold threw a gold grenade at Yi. He pulled a revolver with a large cylinder and shot a huge energy blast at Crusher.

The grenade discharge an energy and healed Yi's wounds before he tumbled on the arena.

Armor intercepted the blast and was pushed back. "That is a custom weapon! How can a rookie like him made one!"

Arnold spun the sapphire cylinder and shot a few bullets at Armor with another revolver, one missed but bounced when it hit the arena's barrier.

Crusher tilted his body away as the bullet grazed his torso. 'This kid…!'

"Grenade!" Armor said.

A metal ball rolled next to them and discharged blue plasma scorching Crusher's suit. "Argh!"

A gold orb flashed in his hand and Arnold blew it away with an air blaster.

"I won't let you heal!" Arnold said.

"Armor! Cover me!"

He stood in front of Crusher as thicker armor formed around his body while Crusher formed red smoke around them, healing his burns.

"Now Yi!"

"What? Where?" Crusher searched around and Yi was nowhere to be found.

"Maximum!"

Crusher looked up and Yi's fist dug into his face crashing down.

"He did it!" Arnold said.

Yi said, "Again!"

He threw a punch but Crusher's fist hit his head and discharged a chemical explosion. Yi's neck snapped as he was launched away.

"NO!"

Arnold ran along Yi's body and grabbed him as Arnold grazed his metal jacket against the surface.

"Oh no no no. Don't die on me, Yi!" Arnold placed Yi down and scanned with his lens.

"C'mon c'mon c'mon!"

"Kill him! Don't the boxer revive!" Crusher said.

"Hyper Sonic Cannon!" Crusher jumped back as Armor's chest turned into an amplifier and blasted an enormous sound wave at them.

Arnold stuck a metallic orb next to them and a barrier surrounds them, repelled the attack.

"Before we start the plan, how well can you use Fire Jet during your tutorial?" Arnold said.

"Uh… I jumped off this large hole. I found out I could use Fire Jet Maximum and beat this mimic and he praised me for using it well and that's it."

"A praise? I knew you were gifted! So here is the plan."

"We need to defeat that bio soldier first while they're looking down on us but we need to distract that morphier."

"How are we gonna do that?"

"Easy! You are gonna charge at him with full speed and then switch to the soldier at the last moment."

"Got it!"

"Now this one's risky but I know you can do it. If we fail, I'll distract them while you sneak for an opening until I give a signal. Punch that guy hard and make sure he stays down!"

"Do you get the plan?"

[Barrier Durability: 5%!]

[Heal Grenade: 4s]

[Vital Signs: Fatal!]

Crusher rushed slamming his fist at the barrier while Armor swung his hammer and the barrier's light went dim.

"C'mon!"

"Hargh!" The barrier dispersed, Crusher's fist headed straight at the back of Arnold's skull.
