Chapter 10 - He’s Awaken

Tina staring at her opponent whose eyes are completely different from a moment ago, is completely shocked at the sudden change. Before she can understand what's happening she is flung across stage like a rag doll.

Acura covered in cuts and splattered in blood looks up to the balcony where the Elite members sat and observed the fights.

"The fuck is y'all looking at? Why don't you come down here for once so I could beat you wimps to a pulp!"

Madam Elena sighs, "unpleasant as always, he just needs to win so I can put him away again"

Acura with a face of annoyance examines his body, he frantically looked all over and was clearly disappointed.

"Look at the body that I worked so hard on every night while that wimp slept! How'd he let this happen?!"

Acura now had a whole different air to him. His posture was more confident, his black hair usually down was now up and spiky. And his eyes were now inverted, not to mention his speech which was extremely vulgar. It was as if he was a completely different person.

"Hey bitch don't think you're gonna get off easy after marking my beautiful body. My muscles are practically begging me to tear you apart at this poi.." he was interrupted by a slash aimed at his face, but was easily dodged. "Didn't you hear me talking you stupid girl!" Acura jumped up and down like a kid throwing a tantrum.

Tina looking at Acura was puzzled, she mumbled to herself "who is this guy" 'there's no way this was the same nice boy who stood there and took all my attacks and begged for the fighting to stop. It's not just his appearance, his entire aura is different. Before it was warm and inviting, but now it feels...disgusting' she thought to herself.

"Hey stupid girl don't ya hear me!?"

"Who are you?"

"Huh?" Acura stopped with a blank face as he looked at Tina. She repeated herself one more time stating every word clearly as to not be mistaken.

"WHO ARE YOU"

"Don't think anyone ever asked, give me a second." Acura puts his hand on his chin and gets lost in thought. This seemed to make Tina angrier.

"No you're definitely not Acura, are you possessed?"

"Possessed? No one could ever possess me, but I do have an answer for that question you asked."

Acura walked to the center of the stage and looked up to the entire audience. He put his hand to his mouth as he cleared his throat signaling he was about to say something very important.

"Listen here you dimwits, you should feel honored for you all are now in the presence of HONDA!"

The crowd remained silent, as Honda's name echoed in the quiet abyss.

"This is the part where you cheer for me you wimps!"

"Booo"
"Kill him already"
"Shut up loser"
"That name sucks!"

Honda's ego is bruised as he curls up on the floor in fetal position shamed at the crowd's reaction. Farfield laughed at the spectacle while antagonizing Madam Elena.

"Is this your prized fighter Madam? He definitely measures up to your impressiveness ho ho ho"

Madam Elena grinds her teeth and gulps the remainder of her wine down. "Stop making a fool of yourself and just kill that little girl"

As that was said, Honda who was still on the ground sulking regained awareness, rolled and gained distance as Tina descending from the sky impaled where he was just lying.

"You're a wild one huh well let's see how you match up against me."

The image of Tina fainted and reappeared to the left of Honda, she slashed at his face but he dodged and hit her with the back of his fist sending her flying. She regained her balance and disappeared again.

"That trick is getting boring, you may be fast but your killing intent, and psych is leaking like you soiled yourself."

Tina sucked her teeth and vanished, Honda kicks exactly where Tina reappeared, and she dropped to her knees holding her stomach in pain.

"How was that bitch, and I'm not done" Honda kicks her chin sending her into the sky, leaps and grabs her by the neck and threw her back down. Before she landed she broke her fall and disappeared, but as she did Honda appeared right behind her, putting her in a choke hold from the back.

"Time to go to sleep little girl" Honda squeezed the breathe out of her lungs as her face turned pale blue. The hands she was trying to pry Hondas arms with suddenly fell to the side limp as they dangled.

"That was quick, but like I said you're not getting off easy!" Honda shouts as he slams her to the ground and then mounts her. He begins to pummel her with punch after punch his fist bloodier with each strike.

The audience was in awe, they've seen gruesome fights before, but for some reason this was hard for even them to watch.

"Stop stop him stop your beast from killing my property!" Farfield fought to get the words out his mouth. Elena on the other hand grinned at the sight, as if the violence and blood aroused her. The more she saw the more her body curled in joy. It was clear that she was a sadist, and there was no way she was going to stop her muse.

Tina fading in and out of consciousness looked up to her assailant, with a grin and blood splattered face, there's no way she could do anything besides wait until he gets bored or she dies from trauma. But then her eyes opened wide, was she finally losing it? Or did something catch her interest?

Honda stopped his barrage when he saw a change in Tina's face, from no longer looking devoid of sense to now seeming like as if something in her line of sight is more important than hanging on to life itself. Honda stopped and turned his gaze upwards. What he saw was a single glowing light soaring to the top of the ceiling followed by a bang.

The entire room was covered in a bright light that hindered everyone's eye sight, followed by screams of the patrons who partake in the underground fights. When Honda's eye sight returned what he saw was a number of figures flooding in and apprehending everyone in sight. Some were in military uniform, while others had a different attire sporting a Silver bandana with black insignia of a shield.

"Who told them about this place"
"Unhand me!"
"Why is The Last Shield Mercs here"
"I can't go to jail, I can't my wife just had twins!"

All sorts of commotion could be heard by the audience. Honda stands up fist gripped and wearing an obnoxious smile.

"Finally this looks more interesting, hey you guys come down here and fight me"

A hand appeared on the shoulder of Honda. 
As if this person was there from the beginning his presence nonexistent.

"You're a child, but I don't get the feeling that you're being forced to fight this little girl."

For a moment a sharp chill ran through Honda's body. His face froze and he could sense that the person behind him was not someone to take lightly.

"I'll ask you just once, are you a victim or an enemy?"

Honda knew the answer to that question, but his nature wouldn't allow him to be questioned, much less threatened. He leaped forward gaining distance from the man behind him. Panting heavily as if he just ran 10 miles, he looked at the man who snuck up on him.

He was wearing a black and white coat that looked a little too big for him, baggy black jeans. His hair was spiky and light blue, with a pre-teen face, he couldn't be more than fifteen. He was just a little bit taller than Honda who was now over five foot.

Honda regained his composure and stood up straight pointing his finger straight at the young boy. "Who the hell are you supposed to be kid?"

"Kid?" The boy's face immediately showed immense irritation as his left eye twitched and his teeth began grinding. "I am the second in command of the Last Shield Mercs Satsuma Daewoo, I am not some kid!"

"Well whatever regardless, if you're here to fight bring it on...kid" Honda assumes a fighting position. His body was slightly trembling, knowing the caliber of his opponent was currently way out of his league.

"That's it if you weren't a victim before you sure are now."
