Alice came in not much longer after, and she had a few scrapes, along with bruises. I tried to approach Alice, but I was shoved back toward the ring by the crowd. I climbed in, filled with anger. "Hey Khalil!" Linus's voice boomed, a hint of annoyance and obviously a taunt.<br/><br/>"What?" I roared back.<br/><br/>"Wanna know why she's all banged up?" He said. When I gave no response but to look into the camera, he continued, "She tried to escape, your toy was going to run away!" He laughed, "How could you be so irresponsible as to let your toy escape?" The crowd laughed, and I clenched my fist, "Such irresponsibility should be punished!"<br/><br/>"You bastard!" I yelled.<br/><br/>"No, no, no." He said, "Watch your language." He called out two names, both of whom entered the ring. "Beat the kid and you can have his toy!" Both guys had a metal baseball bat, and looked to be around their mid twenties. They also didn't look like pushovers.<br/><br/>"Lets beat him into the hospital." One said, "That'll get him off his high horse."<br/><br/>"Hey I'd ride a high horse." The other laughed, "Would be a pretty chill horse."<br/><br/>"Yea, lets fight this kid and then talk about what would be awesome high." The bell rang and the woman walked across the ring, getting a touch from one of the guys. Her response was one of disgust, but also helplessness. I expected them to come one at a time, but they both charged at me together, and it was more of an effort to dodge their reckless swings, than to worry about hitting them back. They weren't very nimble, but their swings had a lot of power, which meant I had few options. I could outlast them, and risk my next fight, or I could attempt to beat them, and risk my life. I avoided them until the first round ended, and by the crowd's boos, I didn't give a good show.<br/><br/>"That was boring Khalil." Linus said sarcastically. "Didn't I tell you to give me a show?"<br/><br/>"If you want a show, don't send two guys in with baseball bats!" I spat back.<br/><br/>"Fair enough." Linus replied, "Boys, lose the bats, use a knife instead, I don't like his tone." He almost stopped, but then added, "Also if the fight isn't over in five minutes, shoot him, and take the girl."<br/><br/>I clenched my fist and my teeth. I took off my jeans, much to the amusement of the audience. "Aw man, what's the kid doing?" One laughed.<br/><br/>"He probably shit his pants." Another one laughed. Whistles and taunting howls echoed through the garage. I folded my jeans in half and slung it over the strings. I walked to my corner and took off my shirt. I rolled the shirt up and put it over my shoulder. I was standing in the ring in nothing but my black boxers, and hysteria broke out. No comment from Linus though. I got into a defensive stance, and prepared for the match to start. My muscles were very defined, and people could truly see the scars I had.<br/><br/>"If you think I'm afraid of being stabbed?" I yelled, "I haven't been afraid of a knife in years, and you know what." I looked at the two guys, and shouted "I'm going to break your arms."<br/><br/>"Big words." One of them said, "But they don't mean shit."<br/><br/>He charged at me and lunged his knife at my gut. In a quick movement I sidestepped him and wrapped my shirt around his wrist. I tightened the shirt until he dropped his knife, and then I kicked it off the arena. His friend reacted quickly and was charging at me from behind. I forced the first man onto his knees and then used him as leverage to do a flip, kicking the knife out of the second mans hands, and breaking the first guy's arm.<br/><br/>He let out a shriek and his friend yelled, "Damn you."<br/><br/>I kicked the guy away, writhing in pain. "Your turn." He charged at me without any form, and managed to get his arm accidentally broken by putting it near me. "Have your fun Linus?" I shouted, "That took me thirty seconds!" I spat on the ground and waited for his response.
