The Shadow, as his nickname was, collapsed to his knees in the middle of the fight, memories flashing through his head. He remembers a cage, and other people in the cage. He recognized some of them, knowing they were all dead because of him. He remembers surgeries, and that he was an Alpha. He remembers an escape, and dead bodies that littered the floors of a lab. "They" made him into a monster, a fighting machine.
"Whassa matter Acro? Shadow can't take any more?" Came the taunt from one of his opponents.
The Shadow said nothing as he fought off the broken memories and won. He stood up to his four attackers who were now trying to take advantage of his stumble. The one reptilian eye that shown a piercing emerald green under the black bandages keeping his head hidden from the rest of the world caught the movements, two from the front, one from behind, and an arial attack. He moved accordingly, taking strength from his fractured memories.
He drew a gleaming katana from the sheath on his back, and the other launched itself upward toward the arial attack, propelled by a high powered shot, it hit the figure in the sky in the jaw. The Shadow used a downward shot on his sheaths to jump up to the falling attacker, grab his falling katana, and spin kick him down toward the attack that was coming from behind. They would not be getting up.
'Two down,' The Shadow thought as his sheaths transformed into shoulder mounted guns while he was falling. He launched a volley of bullets at the remaining two attackers, but they dodged, barely. Sensing they were off balance, he landed as his guns transformed back to sheaths and launched himself toward the remaining challengers, his back flat and low to the ground. He swung his swords as he moved with an almost unparalleled speed back and forth past his attackers, knocking them with the flats of his twin katanas. Propelling himself with his sheath shots, he landed a final crushing blow to one, knocking her into the last one before both hit the wall, leaving cracks webbing out almost ten feet in diameter.
'They didn't stand a chance... I may have overdone it' He thought as he walked out of the arena, leaving the other team to be taken to the infirmary.
