Josephine stood close to Richard as the crowd chanted around them. The longer they waited for Kisa to come, the more anxious and worried Josephine became. Finally, the crowd cleared a path for Kisa as she walked up to the door of the cage and the announcer stepped out of the ring.
"He picked a fight," The announcer told Kisa and stepped out of the way so she could see Seth standing in the center of the ring.
"You realize what that means?" Kisa yelled at the older Gecko.
The crowd began chanting fight once again as Seth raised his hands to try and quiet the crowd, "All right, all right, all right. I know that my girl was not happy with the way you left things with her. So, why don't we make things interesting, huh? I'll take on your best guy, right here, right now. I win, you come with us. I lose, we leave you alone for the rest of your days."
Kisa crossed her arms and turned back to Josephine and Richard who both gave her a nod. She chuckled when she turned back to Seth, "It's a deal."
The crowd cheered even louder than before as Josephine stepped up, nudging Kisa out of the way. She stepped up two steps, meeting Seth's eyes as he took off his jacket and shirt. Her hands found their place on the sides of his face. "Baby, things get too bad, you tell me, alright? You tell me and I put a stop to it. I'll put a stop to all of this. You hear me?"
Seth nodded, "I got this, babe." He connected the small space in between them before Josephine was dragged back down next to Richard by Kisa's men. They brought in his opponent and they began fighting. Kisa made Richard and Josephine follow her up to her balcony to watch.
"This was a bad idea," Josephine said wincing when she saw Seth get punched in the face.
"Relax, Josephine. He told you he had this." Richard said to the girl. With that, Seth got the upper hand and threw more punches to the man's face. Richard said something to Kisa about Manola but she was to focused on the fight to listen.
"You love her," Richard assumed, catching Josephine's attention, "I mean, she's the reason you won't help us track down these demons, right? I only ask 'cause there's some real end-of-the-world shit coming. And despite your fuck-if-I-care attitude, I know you care about your people. Imagine if they knew the truth, that you don't even wanna fight for them."
Seth swung his fist forcefully and knocked the man to the ground. Josephine stepped forward on the staircase waiting for Seth to finish him off but instead he stopped and looked at something in the crowd. He looked scared as he walked closer to the edge of the cage. It looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"Seth!" Josephine called when she saw his opponent get up from the ground and raise his clenched fist at Seth.
Seth stumbled to get up from the fencing and prepared to fight back but was knocked back down to the ground again.
He got up just enough to look back out into the crowd again. He looked in the same place that had in in awe-struck before. Josephine gripped the railing of the stairs as she focused in on the man. She closed her eyes once she felt his energy and waited for the darkness to disappear. Once it did, her vision showed the same evil Kate that would haunt her dreams. She opened her eyes and stumbled back into Richard who looked at her in concern.
