The battlefield was filled with metal scraps and destroyed weapons, the hot air started rising cause of the pressure being released from the underground, each team glanced at each other and the crowds became silence, waiting for someone to strike. Suddenly, Salvatore took the first move by picking up a boomerang and a war hammer, he glanced at Emilio and threw the boomerang towards him yet the latter dodged it. Using the boomerang as a distraction, he attacked his father using the war hammer but Emilio blocked it using the metal scrap on the ground.
"OHOHO! What is this?! A feud between the hot blooded relatives? Salvatore took the first strike!" Harriet exclaimed while the crowds started yelling.
The teams soon started moving, Flavio took a mace from the ground while Marco charged towards Yun-Qi who is currently cracking his fists. He was fast and his stunts were impressive, dodging the other teams while running towards the Chinese lad. Back to Flavio, he doesn't know who to attack first but luckily Nana pounced towards him and hit him with a thick metal pipe but the towheaded guy countered the attack by swinging his mace to her face. She doesn't have the time to dodge so she carelessly received the attack, "HEY!? WHY ARE YOU HITTING A GIRL THAT HARD?!" Nana stood up after she lost balanced, "I'm maybe a simp but I must contradict my teachings for now in able for us to win." Flavio said filled with pride. Wilhevit and Dante started cheering for Flavio while dancing and raising their pom-poms. Nana was furious so she charged towards him again, just when Flavio was about to swing his mace, Nana took this chance to pounce on the certain weapon, jumping over the lad and hitting him back with the pipe. But Flavio used his body bending techniques to kick the weapon away, he grabbed Nana's arm and threw her towards Olis who is currently fighting Mei. "Well that was easy." he boasted while swinging the mace with ease, "Good thing this weapon lost it's spikes." he sighed in relief.
"Nana Ionah and Olis Wagner is out! That leaves 25 players on the battlefield!" Harriet yelled optimistically while Adam can be seen playing his PSP.
On the other hand, Marco and Yun-Qi has been fighting using their bare fists, "Shinigai Style: Knocked to Hell.." Marco whispered before kicking Yun-Qi's stomach, he suddenly lost balance and fainted cause of the impact. Without his knowledge, his innards were partly destroyed cause of the attack that he received from Marco.
"Yun-Qi Zhao was knocked out by Marco Maestri! While Yaroslav Turgenev had just defeated Mavi Demir! 23 players left on the battlefield!" Harriet announced energetically.
As the battle continues, Marco and Flavio teamed up on fighting Vashiq and Vittorio. Team AXE has been fighting Team TRK while Team KYO and EMU we're scattered across the junks.
Back to Salvatore, he's been fighting Emilio away from the other players, they were equally matched. They became the cynosure of the event, they piqued the audiences' interest and cheers. Salvatore picked a rigid case, using it to block Emilio's attack but suddenly, as soon as the rigid case was hit, it transformed into a scythe that turned out to be an Artillery. "Salvatore had just picked up an Artillery! The infamous das Rosarot Reaper! Used by the former 4th King, Roswell Millenius!" Harriet exclaimed the fact. At first, Salvatore was surprised but then, he quickly swayed the scythe towards his father with all might. He was angered and furious, he went berserk just right after he finally saw his father's face in personal, after 21 years of living and longing to see him.
"Shinigai Style: Promised Land's Finale!" Marco yelled before going all out on attacking Vittorio, while Flavio has been assisting him by holding Vashiq off for now. Vittorio was defeated by Marco, at this rate, the latter has defeated two opponent's using his fist and knowledge about the Shinigai Fighting Style. On the contrary, he was drastically exhausted cause of the attack, the serum that he took backfired that made him weak and vulnerable at the moment.
"Vittorio Battaglia and the Team AXE has been defeated! That leaves 18 players fighting on the battlefield! Let me mention all of them and cheer for them! We still have Vashiq, Julius, Diwa, Sally, Lucas, Isla, Regan, Tamsen, Roux, Kylo, Marco, Flavio, Salvatore, Emilio, Mei, Urvan, Chun Hei, Yaroslav and Oktai on the battlefield! Who shall prevail? Who shall win? Who shall be the last team standing?!" Harriet thrilled the audiences in the arena.
"Say, old man, why did you kicked us out of the House?!" Salvatore growled before charging towards his father before swinging his weapon, "I swear! It was her fault! Let me explain, a lot happened and I can't just explain it that easily if we're fighting.." Emilio responded while dodging and blocking his son's attacks.
"Everyday, I could see mom's suffering and grief... I kept on asking, where were you..? why aren't you with us but all she said was you are busy and you can't even visit us... We could've been a happy family.. but all this time, are you just wasting your time on fighting all over the world?! Instead of being a good father and a husband..?" he stated while attacking continuously.
"You don't understand kid! You don't know a thing about this matter!" Emilio jumped away from him.
"I demand an explanation.." Salvatore tilted his head while spinning his weapon, his tone was different, as if he sounds dreadful and monotonous, his angered already consumed him and now the only thing he wants is an explanation.
"Fine.." Emilio dropped his weapon as he sat on the ground, "Let me explain everything to you, just drop your weapon and sit right infront of me.
"What is this?! Is Emilio Fiore admitting defeat?!" Harriet asked, still surprised cause of how the fight turned out.
Desperate for the explanation, Salvatore dropped his weapon and sat down while trying to calm himself down. The movement was too quick that he didn't noticed that Emilio used a magnet to attract the scythe towards him, he stood up and quickly run towards Salvatore. The lad was shocked knowing that he was betrayed, sooner, Emilio stabbed Salvatore's body using the weapon repeatedly.
"Brethren!" Rosa was about to go down but Wilhevit and Dante stopped her.
"YOU DONT KNOW A THING KID! DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN PROTECTING YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE MY SON?! I'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE TO YOU BECAUSE YOU'VE BECAME MY PREY! ALL YOU KNEW ABOUT WAS ERIKA'S LIES! WE WERE SIBLINGS YET SHE MOLESTED AND RAPED ME! I DISGUSTED YOU! I REALLY DISGUSTED YOU!" Emilio finally snapped and stabbed the lad repeatedly, showing him no mercy nor remorse. The crowds were shocked and starting booing at him.
Salvatore's blood oozes everywhere, he didn't stopped not until the Army took action, they stopped Emilio and called the medics. The remaining players just watched them, unfortunately, Flavio has been defeated by Vashiq while Marco can't move a muscle cause of the drawback of the serum. Officially, Team MFS lost the battle.
