Cage

Duncan was hurt during Isao's escapade. He was at his prison's infirmary.

Clara came hurt from the event too.

"What the hell is with that kid?" Duncan said.

Clara sits on one of the beds and closes her eyes.

"Look Duncan, I already said once that he will be stronger than you"

Duncan looks at Clara.

"I know, but that did not mean he was stronger than you either. He took Vlad, and now he'll make a plan to destroy me…"

He closed his eyes and opened them after a slight second.

"Why did he go for Vlad?" He goes to Clara's bed.

"You see Clara, I doubt you did put up a fight against our man, Isao. Because how could he know who Vlad is? Only if you told him when you captured him… That will mean that you are free of my power." He activate his threads and Clara's thread was broken.

"Oh! That's what happened…" He tried to tie the thread again but it did not work. "What the?" Clara smiles, and opens her eyes.

"Isao apparently blocks your ability, now you can't force me to do anything"

"What about your family? If they are in danger what will you do?"

She laughs "I thought you'd say that, so I made sure you never will put them in danger."

As desperation was eating Duncan's life from the core of his bones. Isao was getting back to Shreds.

Isao and his new "friend" Vlad. Get into Shreds's office.

"So is it Impossible now?"

Shreds smile. She gets out of her chair.

"Only 5 hours. That's a record. A record I'll never beat."

She grabs Isao's chin.

"So, do you want a prize?"

"Ma'am, I want no prize. But I guess you want something from me…"

"Aren't you a smart boy?"

She lets go of his chin and looks out the window down at the fighting cage.

"I got someone in the fighting ring that acts cocky. I want you to set them straight."

Isao gets next to her.

"Who is he?"

"You probably know him, Mike Roger. My assistant's boyfriend. He beat most of my men in the ring. To pay your debt I want you to beat the hell out of him."

Isao gets in a flashback five years ago.

Isao was getting bullied by Mike.

Isao's phone is being forcefully taken by Mike. Mike was 2 years older than him, and a bit taller than him.

"Give my phone back Mike, please."

He pushes him on the ground. He then laughs.

"What's up PIssao? Having problems standing?"

Rebecca, same age as Isao, and Mike's girlfriend, takes the phone and gives it back to Isao. Then they both leave as the humiliation is over.

He exits the flashback.

"It will be my pleasure"

Isao remembered one of the less worse acts of bullying from Mike. He suffered many acts of violence physically and psychologically. They get out of the office and get in the arena where the cage was situated.

"Mike, we got a new contestant"

Rebecca looked shocked.

"Shreds this ain't-"

"Rebecca you don't talk in this situation."

Mike comes like a snob and looks bossy at his real boss, Shreds.

"Is this guy behind me"

Rebecca goes near Shreds and whispers.

"What are you doing? If he is here, he escaped Duncan. I know Mike is bad, but we don't need Isao for this…"

"PIsao!? This will be a pleasure"

He gets in the cage. And prepare for the fight.

Rebecca goes at Isao.

"Please have mercy"

"He never had mercy on me…"

Isao gets in the cage. Rebecca goes near it and screams.

"MIKE! HE IS NOT NORMAL!"

Mike activates his ability. Isao closes his eyes, concentrating his anger.

Shreds get on a stage.

"Ladies and Gents. We are having a friendly match, between our Rank 10 Mike, and our new special member. Isao Tyson!"

Everyone in the room screams Isao's name. They wanted him to win.

"Fight!"

Mike attacks in a flash, but Isao dodges.

"Thanks Kalista," he said in his mind.

"Don't thank me yet!"

Mike looked frustrated. He tried again, but failed.

"So repetitive…" Isao said, angering him.

Mike tries to uppercut him, Isao dodges and punches him. The punch sends him into the other side of the cage.

"Well that's a shame… Mike." More and more attacks are dodged and Mike gets more and more angry, but also tired.

"My turn now." He starts attacking. He pushes him into a cage wall and turns his hand into an energy hand"He starts punching Mike, causing him to scream in pain and get electrocuted.

"Stop. Please!" he shouts.

Isao doesn't listen and turns his hand into a blade and stabs him.

"Not even now I'm done…"

He gets the blade out and goes for another swing.

"Stop!" screams Kalista. Kalista materializes into an amazon warrior and stops Isao's blade. Everyone sees Kalista.

"I'm not gonna let you do what I've done wrong. Hatred is the last thing to use when you fight!"

Isao turns his hand back, he presses the wound and a green beam comes out of him.

"I healed him. Is it enough?"

Kalista nods and gets back into the orb.

Isao get out of the cage. And get a bad look from Rebecca before she heads in the cage to help her boyfriend get out.

"You impressed me again, Tyson."

"I've done what you asked"

"And now I'm again in your debt. You showed me some of your real power, and solved the problem with the rat."

Mike hears it.

"You put me in the cage with him to punish me?"

Shreds goes at him.

"Yes! You don't deserve what you have! You always use your ability to make others feel uncomfortable. Now you've gotten some of your medicine."

She goes back at Isao and pats Isao on the back.

"You can stay here as much as you please darling.

She brings Isao and Vlad to a room with two beds and a closet.

"Welcome to paradise"

She then leaves those two in the room.

"So what's our next step?" Vlad asks.

"We need to find people like us. With the orbs coming from gods."
