Everyone turned around and saw around five Orange Vipers in their gaudy bright jackets.
"The boss was wonderin' where you went off to." One of them said while brandishing a chain. Each of them had some sort of weapon, from brass knuckles to planks of wood. Hector and Ronaldo looked at one another and got their weapons ready. They would be fighting on an incline so they would have to be careful.
"You can tell her where I am after you wake up," Hector said. The Viper with brass knuckles launched himself towards Hector, using the gravity to make a giant superman punch at him. Hector caught the gang member's fist in his hand and used the Viper's own momentum to throw him down towards the lower rows, causing him to slam and tumble down the steps.
"Who's next?" Hector asked with a fire in his eyes.
The sight of the Viper being thrown attracted the attention of various audience members as well as Gustavo and Marcus from their velvet room.
"They aren't supposed to be fighting over there!" Gustavo said to Marcus as he Grabbed his pink cornrows in frustration. 'They're gonna mess this whole program up!"
"Hush," Marcus said in a soothing tone. "I've got this taken care of. Marcus hit a button that moved some spotlights onto the squabble going on and then signaled the fight announcer down below. The announcer nodded and then addressed the crowd.
"Hello everyone!" He started. "Today we are having a special group therapy session up. Please redirect your attention to the stands up above."
Ronaldo and Hector smiled.
"Let's give the people a show," Ronaldo said.
"Hell yeah," Hector said with a smile.
The Viper from before regained himself and started charging up the stairs at Ronaldo.
"Oh no you don't," Ronaldo said before using a spinning back kick to plant his foot into the chest of the Viper, sending him flying down the stairs. "Have a nice tri-". Ronaldo was interrupted by wooden board being broken over his back. "Shit," He gasped. The Orange Viper that broke the board, was about to hit Ronaldo again with the broken piece that remained in his hands. Before he could hit Ronaldo again, Hector ran over and swept out the Viper's legs with hit cricket bat, and as he was falling, Hector smacked him in the face with his Cricket bat causing blood to spurt out of his nose and knocking him out.
"I thought you had my back," Ronaldo said grimacing and clutching his back.
"I don't have eyes in the back of my head!" As Hector was saying this a chain was flying through the air at towards the back of his head. Before it could strike him, Ronaldo ran over and blocked it with his umbrella, the chain wrapping around it.
"I can tell," Ronaldo said. Ronaldo got into a tug of war with the Viper holding the chain. Two Vipers with metal pipes rushed Ronaldo and took a swing at him. Ronaldo ducked one strike and Hector blocked another strike. Hector and the Viper he crossed weapons with began taking swings and parrying each other's blows.
Ronaldo kicked away the Viper that took a swing at him to created distance, and while clutching his umbrella with both hands, he strained all the muscles in his arms and legs and started to pull the chain. The Viper had trouble holding his ground before Ronaldo flung him in the air, knocking him into the Viper with the pipe sending them tumbling down the stands.
Meanwhile, Hector was exchanging blows before slipping up and getting stuck in the face, knocking him to the ground. Hector spit out some blood before looking up.
"Got you now Hector." He raised the pipe in the air to strike him. Hector closed his eyes. A giant THUD was heard. Hector opened his eyes and saw the Orange Viper standing before him, arm still raised in the air, as blood started trickling down his face. He collapsed to the ground, revealing Emi behind him with a broken wood plank.
"Yeah, I'm still here," Emi exclaimed.
"Gracias," Hector said, while extending a hand.
"Don't mention it." Emi grabbed his hand and helped lift him up. Ronaldo walked over to greet the two of them.
"I think that's all of them," Ronaldo said.
"Apparently not," Emi said while pointing at the Viper with Brass knuckles slowly limping his way up the stairs again with a bruised and bloodied face, breathing very heavily. Once he finally made it to the top, he stood in front of the trio and raised his fists. He took a step forward winding up a punch before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he collapsed to the ground, passed out.
"He sure was stubborn," Emi said while shrugging.
"A manly display," Hector said while clutching his fist.
The announcer straightened his tie and pointed up into the stands. "Let's hear it for Hector, Ronaldo, and Emi!" The crowd began to cheer. As they were cheering the three began to discuss their next course of action.
"So what now?" Emi asked.
"We need to stop Ryoshi," Hector said. "She's been getting two strong and what she has planned isn't good. We can't do this ourselves though. We're gonna need an army." Ronaldo nodded.
"Hector's right. Whatever she's got brewin' ain't good. We gotta stop her." Ronaldo said.
"It sounds like you know her," Emi said. "What's the deal with you two?" Ronaldo sighed and looked off.
"It's a long story..." Ronaldo began. "Basical-".
His words were cut off by a fishhook piercing through the inside of his mouth, blood spurted through his cheek where the end of the hook exited. The line connected to the hook went taut and then yank him away, sending him flying through the air.
"What the..." Emi said before looking down at the stage to see a girl with straight black hair and a fishing rod.
"Ryoshi..." Hector said with a terrified expression.
"Long time no see Ronaldo", Ryoshi squealed while reeling him in. "I finally caught you."
