"Now then, everyone, we have a special fight in store for you all. A ranking match! Are you ready?!" the announcer yelled. His voice resounded throughout the underground fight club as those watching began to chant and cheer in excitement since the opportunity to watch such matches was rare. Ranking matches were big events that would be scheduled, more expensive to watch and of much higher skill, so for one to be announced so suddenly, it was to be expected for them to be excited. "And the challenger…-

Taking a moment to think of an answer, wanting to think of a fighter name that he actually liked, Achara suggested, "The Unstoppable Titan." Xavier shook his head before responding, "Our other friend can use that name. It suits them more than me. But I like 'The Unstoppable' part." "Hmmm... The Unstoppable Beast," he decided, wanting it to be a memorable name that struck fear in his opponents and would also get him more fans. The more people came to watch and placed bets on his match, the more money the…

"You arrogant little punk. You really think you can handle anyone else in the room?" yelled one of the subordinates that stood close to the door. He was the first to speak out of the guards in the room and, although all were dressed in identical black suits, he appeared to be the least influential and capable in the room. Typical. The one that had an inferiority complex and the opportunity to assert his dominance over someone that he believed to be below him for once was the first to speak. But…

Climbing down the gloomy staircase, at the bottom of it were two large figures that were armed and could barely be seen in the dimly lit staircase that went down very far. It was damp and musty and it was hard to believe that there truly was the biggest fight club in the city behind the door that the two men guarded. But since Achara was so confident it was there, and two armed men dressed like the men that accompanied the one-eyed demon were guarding the entrance, it must be the right place. "Fight or…

"Yes, I can kill in a kill or be killed situation," Xavier answered confidently. "Most people would too. I mean, can you kill for your gang? How do you think you will be able to take down other gangs, especially one as large, powerful and ruthless as the Wolf Gang? Death will be inevitable." She was right, but could he really kill for his own gain? "I signed up for this life, and everything that came with it. If it comes to it, I can do it," he stated, but not as confidently as the first time. "You…

"Hey, Achara. Do you want to go out for a bit?" asked Xavier on the phone. From Achara's voice and slurred speech, he could tell he woke her up from her sleep, as she responded, "Go out?! Where do you possibly want to go at this time?" "Just a fight club, one that you've been to. The Unstoppable..." "How do you know about that?" she interrupted. "Was it that little...?" "Maybe, but either way, you're gonna have to take me to one now. I need the money, and it'll be good for me to get some more training…

Carrying Karim into Zack's room and placing him on the ground that Zack had cleared up for him, Xavier had barely managed to carry him over, especially after all the training he had done. "So, Zack, how'd you know about the drugs?" "How wouldn't I know? He and his friends are the plugs in our school and the neighbourhood, and have a systematic way of dealing. They usually split up and I can't deny, they are quite organised." "But they don't meet today, and it's usually at the end of every month. Which…

"They are on an entirely different level. All armed with heavy weaponry, well-trained and experienced, it would be hard for me to take on one of them, let alone their entire gang. And I don't even have any serious weaponry like they do..." "But I would expect nothing less from the gang that controls the entirety of Brooklyn and is above the law." Imagining himself one day leading a gang on such a level, Xavier focused upon hearing the masked man that seemed to be the Wolf Gang Executive speak. The audio…

"Who was it?" asked Connor as he came out to the kitchen to join me, seeing that I had a serious expression. "Karim." "What does he want?" asked Connor, who still didn't like him after their altercation. "Not much. He was just telling me that he missed you." "Come on, man. Seriously. Is there something I should know?" "Yes, he's meeting a Wolf Gang Executive and was just letting me know in advance," I revealed to him. "You say that as if it's a small deal." "It is a small deal. For now, we just need…

Returning home, I was worried that something had happened to my mother after leaving her for so long, especially with those three evil girls. How could I not be? Especially since she wasn't taking her medication any longer, which caused her to be quite unstable at times. However, with Connor reassuring me time and time again that they would behave themselves, I calmed down and was surprised by what I saw upon entering. The three little girls were all sat huddled around my mother and all of them had…
