Kevin's body started shaking as he took in Double D's appearance. His eye was starting to swell shut and there was blood coming from the corner of his lip, most likely caused by the already forming bruise on his jaw. He didn't know he had started moving until Nazz pulled him back, trying to stop him from ripping through the crowd. He turned to her, his green eyes shining dangerously. For the first time in years, he watched as fear clouded her hazel eyes, turning them a dark brown and making her pupils grow. He wished he could say he felt bad but he didn't. This was beyond him being able to control himself. There was a jealous rage that was pressing against the normal guilt that he always felt. It rivaled for space in his mind as he forced himself to listen to the rest of what Neil was saying.
"Now, I know the prize is a little beat up tonight but I have told you what happens when they try to run." Neil chuckled, the sound making Kevin's hands clench into tight fists. "But I can assure all of you, he is no where near broken."
As if on que, Double D struggled against the pair holding him, pulling hard against their grips to where the red head knew he would have bruises where their hands were. One of the brute curled a fist and struck him in the stomach, most likely pushing all of the air from his lungs since Kevin could see him trying to breath. It did nothing to quell his temper and he knew that once Nazz let go of his arm, he would have bee plowing through the group of people in a heart beat. I'll kill you. he silently promised Neil, glowering directly at the Shark.
Neil looked around the group again, his eyes stopping on the redhead this time as his smirk grew into a full on smile. He gave a small tilt of his head as if he knew exactly what the other was thinking and was agreeing to the challenge. Big mistake. "Now I know that this is not normally how we do things, but I would like three rings to be made." as soon as he was done speaking, people were clambering to make it happen, shoving and moving out of the way.
Kevin turned to Nazz and nodded that he was OK for her to let go. She did and backed up to where she wouldn't be mistaken for a participant. He, on the other hand, moved quickly through the group till he was at the edge of the ring closest to the podium. His eyes darted up so he could see Double D, who was now on his knees and panting. What surprised Kevin was that his ice blue eyes were bright and full of so much hatred and anger that he felt his chest aching. He looked back over at Neil, who had relaxed, his hands back in his pockets and that arrogant expression back on his face.
"Thank you. Now, we will have three matches going on at one time, knocking out participants as they are unable to fight anymore. There will be no surrendering and if you leave the ring in the middle of the fight, you will be immediately punished by any of the waiting participants." Neil explained, earning a few cries of outrage from a few of the newer people. They were immediately silenced with a simple wave of his hand. "When there are no more participants, the trio who are still standing will fight and the last one standing gets our little minnow up here."
Kevin's teeth ground as he listened, his temper filling his whole body with an energy he didn't know he had in him, it had been so long since he had felt this kind of rage. He also knew that whoever was going to be on the receiving end of this, wasn't going to be conscious for long.
"Begin."
Double D hurt. There were more places on him that hurt then didn't and even those were starting to hurt because of the rest of him. He could feel bruises already beginning to form on his stomach, arms and face but that didn't stop him from trying to push out of the grip of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum who held him. Because of his height, he knew it was easier for them to hold him now that he was on his knees but he couldn't push himself back up. That required more air then he had at that present moment. He lifted his head to glare at Neil's back, but was met instead with his face. There was a cruel smirk on his face as he looked down at the raven haired boy.
