When John and Zach both saw that Jonathan was willing to kill them they put their guard up and got ready to fight for their life. Jonathan was the first to move as he ran toward John with his fist up. John was prepared this time since he had been watching Jonathan since the beginning making him get ready to guard.
Jonathan then raised his fist over his head and threw it down onto John trying to take him out in one punch but John was able to place his hands in front of him to receive the blow.
John thought he could take the punch Jonathan threw by grabbing it with his hands and overpowering Jonathan's strength but this was where he had miscalculated. Jonathan's strength was not something ordinary which had been proven many times but especially in the first game when he threw 2 grown people back onto the platform after they were dangling off the side.
Due to the immense strength that Jonathan had John was sent a few feet backward when he received Jonathan's punch and there was also a pain all over his arms from his bones threatening to break under the weight of Jonathan's punch.
"UGHHH!" John shouted in anger as he backed away from Jonathan as quickly as he could but he didn't let him do that. However, before Jonathan could even chase after John there was someone Jonathan had completely forgotten about and that person was Zach who had a punch directed straight toward the back of Jonathan's head.
Jonathan sensed it too late and started to turn around but right before the fist hit him suddenly it stopped and Zach was sent to the left flying with blood coming out of his mouth. Jonathan was left slightly confused but when he glanced where Zach previously was he smiled.
Kylie was there rolling her shoulder as she held her fist that now had slight blood on the front of it. Zach had been sitting and waiting to catch Jonathan off guard but Kylie was doing the same as she watched Zach, waiting for him to make his move that way she could strike and keep Zach off of him.
"Thank you." Jonathan said getting a nod from Kylie in return as she continued to pursue Zach who was on the ground rubbing his cheek where he got punched.
Once Jonathan knew he was safe he turned back toward John who had a nervous expression on his face. His entire plan to take out Jonathan now that he knew how strong Jonathan was, was to make Zach as invisible as possible while John lured Jonathan his way taking all of the focus.
It would have worked out perfectly if not for the fact that Kylie was there. However, she was there and there was no changing that so he had to think of something new.
"Get out of your head and fight me." Jonathan said as he arrived in front of John swinging his fist at him with so much strength that the wind around his fist blew around erratically.
John was surprised by Jonathan's sudden advance and was so in his mind that he barely managed to dodge it. John threw his body backward to avoid the punch and ended up falling on his back.
Jonathan saw this and quickly approached making John try and crawl away by pushing his legs away. He soon found out that it wasn't fast enough but before he could get caught by Jonathan he tried to plead for his life once more, "HOLD ON!" John shouted making Jonathan stop his advances and look at John curiously.
"What is it?" Jonathan asked surprising John that he had even stopped in the first place. John was just pulling at any straw he could and thought that the only one left was to buy time by shouting or pleading for his life. Since Jonathan answered he thought that he had some sort of chance.
"Hey man we can talk about this. I won't hurt anyone anymore and you can even use me and that guy as your puppets in the challenge. Matter of fact, if you want I can kill Zach over there and you can just use me. It's all up to you boss." John said with sweat pouring down his face.
When Jonathan heard this he slightly smiled and turned back toward Kylie who was now holding Zach on the ground with his hands behind his back. Zach had heard the entire conversation and paled when he saw Jonathan actually turn around.
"YOU TRAITOR! DON'T KILL ME! HE'S THE ONE THAT SET THIS ALL UP! HE'S THE ONE THAT SAID WE SHOULD KILL DEREK! WE DIDN'T EVEN PLAN ON DOING THAT IT WAS ALL HIM!" Zach said screaming also throwing John under the bus making the man frown deeply.
John was about to speak more to try and get Jonathan more in his favor but before he could do that Jonathan finally spoke as he turned toward John, "If you want to join me then kill him." Jonathan said silencing the entire area. Not only did the cabin area go quiet but the entire resting area went quiet when they heard Jonathan's bone-chilling words.
This was not something anyone had expected Jonathan to say but John was more than happy which was apparent by the new smile plastered on his face but he quickly hid it before talking to Jonathan once more, "Yes boss I will do it immediately." John said before standing up and running toward Zach.
Jonathan followed closely behind while Kylie still held the man in place. Once the two arrived beside both Kylie and Zach, John walked beside Zach's body where he had begun squirming.
"HEY JONATHAN LET ME KILL HIM! I WILL BE LOYAL TO YOU! I PROMISE YOU THIS GUY WILL BETRAY YOU LIKE HE'S DOING TO ME NOW! THE ONLY REASON I SAID THOSE THINGS ABOUT HIM IS BECAUSE HE THREW ME UNDER THE BUS FIRST! IT'S ONLY FAIR YOU LET ME LIVE RIGHT?" Zach began to shout as he tried to get out of Kylie's grasp.
