Chapter 7: Yuya Montegratti’s raging fist

Moéru's stoic expression falters 'He said he knows everything about me..?' Moéru thinks. He angrily stammers for a second "There's no way you can know everything. who sent you here..?" He calls the man out.

"You already know who I'm talking about, and it's my job to either tear all your JKTs off or kill you and then do it." Hundamei chuckled. "I like the second option." Hundamei fully laughs to himself. Moéru's blood runs cold as his opponent's JacKeT glows a fiery orange. "Plus, It'll be fun just to see your face when there is more than one of me.." Hundamei's voice echoes as look-a-likes form around Moéru in the mater of a few seconds.

"What the-" Moéru tries to speak but gets cut off by a rocketing fist to the gut and a killer right hook to the face. Moéru flies back and rolls across the filthy floor of the caged ring before picking himself back up slowly.

Moéru wiped the dirt off of his shirt. "C'mon man... I just fixed my face plate and now it's almost broken again.." Moéru said with irritation present in his voice. "Send your hologram over. I'll turn you into a scrap heap.." Moéru added with a growl.

Yuya Montegratti (previously Known as joker) spat out his peanuts. "Moéru is gonna die out there.. If my hearing is right then this is gonna be very terrible.." Yuya mumbled to himself as the bartender just scowled at the mess of peanut bits on the floor.

"Where have I heard that name before..." Yuya starts as he looks onto the fight and tries to paint a picture in his mind. Yuya was left scratching his head. "Hundamei... Hundamei... just who is this guy?" He ate more peanuts before a spark lit up in his eye and he spat the peanuts on the floor again.

———————————————————————

"You don't know when to quit do you?" Hundamei says with an increasingly evil smirk, then he continued. "If I didn't have to kill you, we'd probably be good pals."

Yuya sprinted up and grabbed the cage. Firmly. "Moéru.." Moéru stood with aches and a pained expression on his partially cracked face. "Dammit, Moéru I figured out who he is!" Yuya cried out.

Moéru interrupted Yuya with a raised hand. "Yuya, you don't need to tell me I've got it under control." He said and his opponent just scoffed. "Plus whoever he is to us.. it doesn't matter. If I die we won't make it outta ere'" he continued.

"I like your spark kid! You think you can make it a few more minutes with me?" Hundamei laughed crudely.

Moéru chuckled loudly and abruptly. "I don't care what you like." He finished as his hands glowed their signature green before becoming white hot from the temperature. "Enough exposition. Let's dance!" He cried as he launched forward quicker than a gunshot.

"Shaaaaaaa!" Moéru screamed as his rage fueled metal fist flurry came to a start as the sound of metal being smashed in echoed with each punch.

'I know I'm not strong enough... but I need to try.. Yuya needs me to be stronger so we can escape this place!' Moéru thought to himself with a fire in his eye greater than any other lowly thief has had before.

The flurry came to a stop after a few seconds. Dust had flown throughout the ring and made it harder to see. The audience was silent other than Yuya stress eating his peanuts.

"You almost got me there kid. Thought I was gonna have to get serious!" Hundamei cried with glee as the dust settled to reveal him almost fine other than a good few burn marks as well as some dents and cracks in his JacKeT. As well as a semi-noticeable cut on his chest.

"Shit." Yuya said with frustration before Moéru threw another punch at his slightly damaged opponent.

Metal screeching as it bended irrupted from the ring. Yuya just was gobsmacked. "You really are not that strong. Wow.." Hundamei said with a chipper spirit as he revealed that he caught Moéru's fist.

"And a one and a two and a-" Hundamei sung out as he snapped Moéru's JKT (JacKeT) in half at the forearm before a scream was heard.

"A-Arh.. Ach.." Moéru wailed in pain as he grabbed his jagged metal arm that was oozing blood and oil.

"D-Damn.. y-you're just t-too strong.." he said as he blacked out and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Aha AHAHA! You're a good kid I'll give you that but way to weak!" Hundamei shrieked with a crazy look as he laughed.

Yuya's JKT subconsciously glowed a blinding yellow as the fist that gripped the cage started to crackle with cyan electricity. "Moéru... Moéru.." he mumbled as a single tear dripped down his now bright glowing eyes.

"You..." Yuya growled as he snapped the cage open and slammed it shut behind him. "I'll kill you." He said as he wiped the single tear he had and slowly walked towards Hundamei and the seizing Moéru who hopefully was still alive.

Speaking of Moéru he was alive! He had dragged himself back a bit after faintly coming back to consciousness for a moment with the not destroyed arm and sat up against the cage as he watched on with a grip on his forearm.

Hundamei laughed at the seemingly dying Moéru as he faced Yuya. "Oh you're approachi-" he was quickly interrupted by a fist slamming into his face and shattering his nose completely.

Yuya screamed as loud as he could. "Shut... UP!" He then slammed another fist right into his jaw affectively breaking it and stunning him by filling him with electricity.

Yuya pulls his arms back as Hundamei stumbles slightly before locking eyes with Yuya. "This one is for you Moéru..." he says with a scowl.

Yuya started a flurry of punches replicating Moéru but with so much force he was putting holes in Hundamei. All while using Moéru's classic battle cry.

"SHAAAAA!"
