Unknown Location~

(A man with sunglasses, and combed black hair, wearing a suit, was sitting at a monitor, looking over the death of Sun Lee)
???: Looks like those killers are starting to go after each other
(A woman in a black coat, her slik blonde hair going over her right shoulder, stood behind the man)
???: What do you make of it?
Mysterious Man: I think that now is a good time to start using this to our advantage. We aren’t gonna let this senseless murder continue every day.

Takedown TV - Janitor’s Hall~

Apollo: (He sat in his room, constantly holding onto his sword. He would do nothing but look forward, staring at nothing, and being lost in thought)
Gregory: (He passed by Apollo’s room, seeing him standing in silence. Without thinking, he began to open his mouth to speak)
Carlos: Gregory, don’t bother. Me and Simon have tried for days to talk with him, but he is just there, sitting in silence. It worries me a little, to be honest. I know he’s been through alot this past year… And I worry that all that stress is finally getting to him
Gregory: Well, what should we do.
Carlos: Wait and see what happens. It’s the only thing we can do for him now, I’m afraid.
Apollo: (He ignored their entire conversation, continuing to remain silent as he waited for the time to come)

Mysterious Locations~

Apollo: (Given directions to his next fight, he was already taking an elevator to a strange area. The cameras were there in the elevator, waiting for the doors to open. At this point, the elevator was going quite far down. The area was clearly underground. Apollo didn’t mind, as he saw the next fight as just one thing in his way to fighting to champion. As soon as the elevator reached the 100th floor, it stopped. Apollo stepped out of the elevator, being greeted with a single white room, and in the center of it was a single tank with a strange liquid. The figure inside was covered in mechanical pieces. His left arm was entirely robotic, with many strange components on it. His legs had many wires coming in and out of it. Half of his face was covered in a mechanic plate, his eye now a red light. The moment it felt Apollo’s gaze on it, it broke through the tank, shattering it and letting itself out. It landed on it’s feet and looked up at Apollo)
???: Greetings. I am ADAM. Artificially Designed Assault Mechanism. I have no other purpose in life but to fight, and so, that is what I will do
Apollo: Cut the conversation bullshit. You know what I’m here for, 2nd Rank. I’m hear to kill you and take your spot. I’ve just about had it with this murdering shit. If there’s a chance to end it, by god, I’m gonna take it.
ADAM: Then, let us engage in combat.
(As Apollo readied himself, the ground below him began to shake. It was hard for him to keep his balance, while ADAM was standing perfectly still)
ADAM: But I don’t want us to have a typical fight. As 2nd Ranked, I want to see what you’ve got. I’m not just going to duel you. I wish to see how you fight. If you plan carefully, and enough to save your life. So, I have set this base up to be launched to the moon. You have twenty minutes, but if you want to escape with a chance of living, you should do so before we leave the earth’s atmosphere in ten.
(The entire base continued to shoot itself up into the sky, the camera’s on the walls continuing to film every moment)
Apollo: (Managing to get his balance, he stood up) Alright, at least I have a reason to kill you faster than before. Let’s get this over with.
ADAM: (His arm turned into a massive blade, as he rushed towards Apollo)
Apollo: (He made his way towards ADAM, swinging his sword to deflect ADAM’s)
ADAM: (His sword continued to swing at Apollo, blocking all of his attacks, which seemed to be faster and more aggressive than before)
Apollo: (He continued to swing at ADAM, realizing that his attacks were not going to cut through. As he continued to swing his blade around, he gave a downward slash attack towards ADAM)
ADAM: (He raised his blade up and blocked the strike)
Apollo: (Seeing his chance, he used his fingers to jab ADAM in his human eye. Though he was part machine, he still needed to see, and thus, was blinded for a second)
ADAM: A filthy trick you pulled there, boy. Were all your fights like this
Apollo: They only got dirty when I started to get tired of all this bullshit (He swung his sword down again)
ADAM: (At the last second, he was able to deflect the attack, still covering his eye as it was regaining vision)
Apollo: (He knew that his attacks were being memorized. If he continued to slash recklessly, he would never cut through. He then came up with a plan. He took his sword and swung it down at ADAM)
ADAM: (Sensing another strike, he raised his blade up to block)
Apollo: (At the last second, he moved his blade to the side and swung his sword to the left and back, slicing through ADAM’s arm, knocking his blade out of it)
ADAM: (Feeling his arm being cut off, he fell down to his knees) It seems to have some will to live. Regardless, your tactics are sloppy, and your style is weak. But you weren’t always like this, were you? I was hoping for a real fight, but I see now that you are just a filthy cheater. You let your anger get the best of you, and thus, rely on childish ideas to win. To think, this is how I die. You were a disappointment of a fight
Apollo: (He stared silently at ADAM, his words cutting through him as he listens to them)
ADAM: But you win. You bested me. If you want to get out safely, head to the elevator and push the emergency button. Leave me. At least let me die in peace.
Apollo: (The words still cutting through Apollo, he went back over to ADAM’s arm, picking up his blade, and tossing it over to ADAM) Here, you have another arm, don’t you? Pick it up. I’m not leaving until I know I’ve completely won
ADAM: (He looks up at Apollo, the look in his eyes not changing)
Apollo: Fine (He puts his right arm behind his back) I’ll only use my left arm to fight you. That fair?
ADAM: … Why do you care so much all of a sudden
Apollo: Honestly, I let my anger and hate get the best of me. But I don’t want that to happen. When you have hate inside you, you don’t become a fighter. You become a senseless killer. Now, are we going to fight or what?
ADAM: (He continues to look at Apollo, before giving a slight chuckle) You’re a strange one. Alright then, let’s go
(Apollo rushed at ADAM again, as he swung his sword at him)
ADAM: (Doing his predict to Apollo’s strike, he continued to move his blade around, as Apollo was now trying to hit multiple locations inside of just his head this time)
Apollo: (Though he was only using his left hand, he was still capable to giving some powerful strikes)
ADAM: (He began to throw his own attacks at Apollo, hoping to get through his defenses)
Apollo: (Seeing these attacks, instead of blocking, he dodged. He moved to the left and right, waiting for the right moment. Once ADAM swung to the left, Apollo knew he had him. He ducked underneath the blade and swung his sword forward, slicing through ADAM’s chest. The cut was deep and clearly did damage)
ADAM: (Seeing his chest sliced open, he fell back onto the ground) Now… That was truly a fight. I mistook you as just an immature child, but I see that you are more than that. You truly can hold your own. You should head to the elevator now. You only have nine minutes
Apollo: Before I go… What is your name… Your real name
ADAM: Call me… Isaac
Apollo: Alright, Isaac. (He turned to the elevator, as he waved his hand) See you around (He stepped into the elevator, and pushed the red emergency button. Once he did, the elevator shot backwards, removing itself from the base, as it began to fall to earth. Before it crashed, a parachute shot out from the top, and the elevator began to fall down to earth)
ADAM: (While he was inside the base, he smiled as the battle came to an end) Apollo… Good luck
(Before long, the base came in contact with the moon. The base exploded, creating a massive hole-like crater in the moon that could be seen from the earth. One thing was for certain: ADAM was dead).

Takedown Tower~

Apollo: (Having been invited by Mr. Biggs, he made his way up the six hundred story building. At the top, Mr. Biggs waited for Apollo)
Mr. Biggs: Hello, Rank 2
Apollo: What’s this all about, Mr. Biggs?
Mr. Biggs: You made it all the way to the top of the ranks in just the span of a year. I must commend you for your efforts, boy. Of course, you aren’t at the home stretch just yet. You still have to fight me. But, before we fight, I thought that maybe we should get to know each other. I want to talk with you one last time. Come, sit
(Apollo saw that Mr. Biggs was sitting at a large dining table, the entire table covered in an assortment of sushi. Apollo sat at the opposite end of the table)
Mr. Biggs: Sushi is quite a remarkable dish, don’t you think. I’ve always enjoyed eating eat, but even with my money, I would save it for special occasions such as this. I believe that this is the last time I will get to enjoy this delicacy, so it’s best to enjoy it now
Apollo: What makes you think that you’re gonna die? You’re the champion. You should be more confident in yourself
Mr. Biggs: Maybe I should. But of course, I feel as though… You aren’t done with your violent journey. I feel as though the real challenge is just about to begin
Apollo: What do you mean?
Mr. Biggs: Well, call it a hunch… But I feel that there is someone who is going to take your title as Champion
Apollo: As long as people are selfish, there’s always gonna be someone who wants to aim for the top, isn’t there?
Mr. Biggs: That’s right. But this is different… It just may be someone close to you
Apollo: (He stared silently at Mr. Biggs as he said this)
Mr. Biggs: Well, looks like it’s about time (He finishes his plate, wiping his mouth with a napkin) Come, we should head to our arena (He lead Apollo to the elevator, who was still in thought of Mr. Biggs’ words)

Takedown Tower - Top Floor~

(Apollo followed Mr. Biggs to the very top of Takedown Tower, where he was met with a large office, the walls made to have a golden appearance, a golden-like dest in the center, a red rug on the ground, a golden chandelier hanging from a ceiling, and a massive window behind the desk that overlooked the city. The cameras continued to be inside even the tower. Mr. Biggs reached into his pocket, taking out his microphone, as he looked at the cameras)
Mr. Biggs: Ladies and gentlemen, this is it! The moment you have all been waiting for! Rank 2, Apollo Juichi, has fought all the top ten, but now, he is faced with his final champion. Fighting the owner of Takedown TV and it’s grand champion, Mr. Biggs! Let the show begin (He tossed his microphone to the side, as he turned to Apollo) Are you ready?
Apollo: You’re damn right I am
Mr. Biggs: (He chuckles) That’s what I like to hear (He grabbed his suit and threw it off, revealing his muscular body, covered in foriegn tattoos) Then let the fight begin (He held up his fists, ready to fight)
Apollo: (Held his sword tightly, as he readied himself to fight the champion)
