The audience are thumping their feet with rhyme, demanding more gores and violence as previous fight was too boring. The announcer showed up and introduce subject K-42. The subject steps in with clothes shrouded his body. His opponent, armed with a pair of daggers, arrogantly make his entrance. He approaches his opponent and mocking him.

Brendon : You're gonna die, fool.
Subject : ......
Brendon : Too scared to talk? I'll put your mouth to shut, forever!

The ground is shaking and all the audience can feel an ominous presence steaming from the subject. The subject removes the clothes and John, who watched the fight at lobby are surprised to see who the subject are.

John : JAKE!
Rain : Calm down! He'll be fine. Plus, if he win, you can meet him after the fight. 
John : ......

Jake is staring deep into Brendon's eyes with hatred.

Brendon : You'll think that will give me shiver, boy?!
Jake : I'll kill you. I'll slaughter you all.

Brendon back off a little and unsheathe his weapon. He charges toward Jake and suddenly, he and everyone else in the arena are levitating. 

HELPPPPP
SAVE ME
MONSTER

Those screams are filling the atmosphere. One by one, people are disintegrating to thin air. Only those with stronger mutant strength are able to withstand such pressure. Then, the pressure gone and everyone fall to the ground. Brendon pick up his daggers and rush toward Jake once more. This time, Jake doing nothing but stand his ground. Brendon strike his daggers into Jake's body, only to find out it not effective. Jake pull out the daggers and levitate Brendon up. Slowly, he thrust the dagger in one by one into Brendon's chest.

Brendon : S-s-stop! Please! 

The first dagger half way into and Jake stop it.

Jake : Did you say, stop?
Brendon : P-pull it out! It's hur- [groan]
Jake : Alright.

The dagger went through Brendon's chest and appear from the back of his body. Jake move the second dagger slowly toward Brendon's face.

Brendon : [cry] Please....
Jake : Too late, fool.

The dagger went into slowly so that Brendon would suffer excrutiating pain as the dagger started to pierce his nose, then his skull and all the way through his head. Brendon is dead and Jake throw his body against the wall. Jake turns his face toward the crowds and the ground begin to shake once more. The president, who seated right above the arena and puff his cuban cigar. 

President : Boy oh boy, what are strong man he is! Lars, come here.
Lars : ....
President : Michael, do me a favor, teach this dog how to obey.
Michael : Gladly. [whip Lars] Come here, dog!
Lars : You'll regret this, I swear...
President : A dog suppose to bark, not talk. Put some syringe into him.
Michael : Yes, sir.

Lars screams in pain and Jake look up to see Lars tortured by the president. Just moment before he spring up toward the lobby, Karl was just in time to stop him by putting a katana under his neck.

Jake : Let me go!
Karl : I'm sorry, Jake. I have to. Just follow what he said back then.
Jake : But he's your friend!
Karl : I know! That's why I want you to stay put!

Karl escort Jake back to his special chamber and waiting for his next fight. John enrage by the way they treating Jake and slams his table. The guard point their guns and asked John to sit tight. John couldn't anything but to sit and wait for his next match where he would meet Jake for the first time after some times.

John : I'm gonna get you out, son....
Rain : If you been nicer to me back then, maybe I would help but you and your "fuck off" attitude....
John : Fuck off. I'll do it myself.
Rain : Alright then. Here. [toss a gun at John] You'll need it soon. My fight is next. Wish me luck.
John : Good luck, and fuck off.

Rain nod and smiles as he enter the arena. The entrance shut tight and John has to wait for his next fight. Hours passed and the first is completed. The official called out John's name and telling him to prepare for his next fight. He get off his chair and patiently wait. The entrance opened up and he went in. Meanwhile, Karl open Jake's chamber and telling Jake that his fight is up. Jake approach the entrance and curiously wait for the call. The announcer announced their entrance and Jake went up to the arena but didn't expect what is waiting for him. He step onto to the arena and he see John is standing at the other end of the arena.

Jake : Dad?
John : [smile] Hello, Jake.
Jake : What are you doing here?!
John : For you, son. I'm gonna get us out of here.
Jake : How..?

John point his gun upward and shoot the glass-covered floor of president's lobby which alarmed them. Lars, who was waiting for this moment and take down as many guards as he can, then he jumps straight down toward the arena.

Lars : About time.
John : Who the fuck are you?
Jake : We'll talk later, we should run.

The whole arena is locking down and all of them are trapped inside. Suddenly, Baz appeared from the lobby and crash his way to the arena. 

Lars : Before that, we have to take care of this.
Jake : Dad, find a man with a katana and he'll help you.
John : W-what?! No, no, no. You don't tell me what to do.
Jake : Would you rather fight against this huge mutant?
John : .... Okay I'll find him.

John leave the arena and went to the lobby while Jake and Lars facing against Baz. Each step Baz take, they can feel the tremor as he was huge like a buffed up monster.

Lars : Jake.
Jake : Hmm?
Lars : You know him, right?
Jake : Yeah. Let see if the rumors are true.
