he froze, turning to shogenki ¨i...¨ Hellhound quickly tackled him, throwing him down, his jaws around Renzors throat -- Sai followed, ((kzjdcbnkajlskdjcljbd))

His mane protected him from any serious bite wounds, he grabbed hellhound by the scruff and threw him across the arena, snarling -- Sai peaked at him, tilting his head before turning to Renzor and Zorro, Zorro walked after Shogenki was out of sight, Sai went to stop him as Renzor followed,

¨You think¨ sai facepalmed, Renzor had turned his attention back to the stands, muttering something under his breath before looking at hellhound, who darted at him, he leapt over him, landing directly on his spine, Hellhound let out a yowl of agony as Renzor jumped off, while he did, he took a massive slash to his right eye. he staggered back, baffled, before snarling and going for another attack -- ¨No- uh, we are here to watch-¨ Sai cleared his throat, having stepped on Zorro´s foot before he could reply

Sai frowned at Shogenki before glancing at the battle, after 15 minutes of back and forth fighting Renzor held hellhound down by his throat, holding him still, Hellhound squirmed under his grasp, letting out barks of protest and pain ¨he has him... why isn´t he backing down¨ shiro looked worriedly With that, renzor had snapped hellhounds neck, he lifted his head, blood trickling down his chin, and open wounds ¨oh my...¨ sai staggered back, ¨woah..that escalated...quick...¨ zorro gasped silently, ¨It...was...a death match....?¨ akira´s ears lowered, -- ¨erm...well, from the one who just walked in¨ ¨yeah hes dating him-¨ Zorro chimed in ¨and hes also my brother-¨ Renzor hummed Sai held the bridge of his nose

¨I guess all legends have to die at some point..BUT THERE YOU HAVE IT!!! THE WINNER OF THIS SEASONS MATCH IS BLAZE ROD!! Hell hound should´ve thought twice before trash talking the lion-¨ the referee walked out, the crowd cheered, renzor walked out, ¨remember folks- our new winner is sensitive to noise!!¨ the referee chuckled as renzor disappeared, -- sai squeaked, hiding behind renzor, who simply waved

Renzor was in a locker room like area, standing over a sink, looking sickened, clenching the sides of the sink as he stared at himself, -- Renzor nodded a small thank you before dragging sai in, followed by a waving zorro

he flinched, staggering away from him, wiping the blood from his face ¨i.. sho...what are you doing here-¨ -- ¨sai was pulling the worried girlfriend act- so we came to see what was going on¨ Renzor huffed, ¨i was not-¨ Sai grumbled

he seemed to slump in posture, avoiding his gaze ¨i...i just need the money... im struggling to get nikka into a medical school.... and.... i dont usually kill.....injure...yeah... but this is the third occasion ive ever had to end anyone because they wouldn't give in...¨ -- ¨we wont tell anyone... but we may have to end zorro because he cant keep his mouth shut,¨ ¨n o no.... my mouth is sealed...¨ zorro silenced, smiling nervously Sai sighed a man walked up next to shogenki, ¨hey kid- who are these guys?? fan boys or somthin..??¨ He raised an eyebrow, ((on it- imma give him one of the calmer guys, then have hellhound walk in))

¨but...nikka is my priority....i shouldnt have to burden anyone else... and i will have enough from the winnings now...and a bit left over.. so...¨he kept his gaze on the floor, shaking, ¨i wont have to do that again......¨ ((:0)) -- ¨Oh wow, thats quite something, and i expected you to be lonely for being here-¨ the man tilted his head, ¨thats usually the reason with you youngins.. either wanna find a purpose or given up on any purpose-¨ he shrugged, ((barbus....has been reincarnated...)) Sai blinked tilting his head

¨i...¨ he relaxed, slowly returning the hug, -- ¨Ack-¨ he blinked before chuckling, pulling him into a playful headlock, ¨now i know thats a lie- the kid looks like he paid them to say that-¨ a grumble came from a corner, ¨i- come on Zerif- or Hellhound.. your just saying that because your wife just left ya-¨ the first man barked a friendly laugh The three boys watched, tilting their heads in unison

he stood there before steping away, ¨i.. should probably patch myself up-¨ ¨hey there kiddo~¨ the referee walked in, ¨I- sir..¨ renzor turned to him -- ¨Shut up Barbus...¨ ¨thats scorpion to you- but whatever¨ barbus let go of shogenki, ruffling his hair, ¨arent you two gonna fight tonight...??¨ ¨for entertainment purposes yeah- but im just there to rough him up abit- nothing too serious, its supposed to get the crowd riled up-¨ Barbus hummed, ¨why not kill the brat, you have no problem crushing others skulls¨ ¨whats with you and picking on the younger ones??¨

¨so you won, we kinda need you for next year, ya know, you killed your runner up- so¨ he hummed, ¨i wont be participating next year¨ ¨i- why not¨ ¨change of heart...¨ ¨whats a war tank like you thinking of ´change of heart´ your good at fighting?? why not do that¨ ¨i...¨ -- -- ¨ah- we´ll see kid-¨ he chuckled ¨ill end the kid then-¨ Zerif grunted, walking away, renzor narrowed his eyes at him

¨But he´ll benefit well from it- he just won 70 thousand bucks, just from this fight alone.. imagine what he can make later¨ he chuckled ¨i..have to decline..¨ -- Zerif scoffed, storming off ¨yeah,¨ he hummed, ¨since you three are his friends, and brother and boyfirend, you can sit front and center¨ ¨WOAH REALLY?!¨ Zorro squeaked,

¨Im not bribing.. just stating facts~ But if you do end up wanting to join up again.. your title and rewards will be waiting~¨ he hummed , walking out Renzor stared, before looking down -- zorro waved after him, ((time skip??))

¨okay...¨ he mumbled, -- ((hmmmmmmmmm i can have hellhound prevoke him,, and brb))

He pointed at his bag, it was full of cloths for him to change into and medical supplies, ¨if...we can...lets not tell nikka about this...¨ -- ¨well then shrimp,¨ hell hound grumbled from behind him,

¨Thank yo-¨ ¨RENZOR!¨ A very scared and enraged yell came from the hall ¨shit,¨ renzor froze ((Zorro reorded... sent to the group chat ,,,, forgot nikka was in it)) -- ¨really now??¨ he roughly grabbed his shoulder

Renzor squeaked, Nikka stormed in, glaring at Shogenki, ¨where.is.he.¨ -- he lowered to him, ¨look... i think its best you forfeit.. i mean, it would save you a hospital trip... or your little buddy´s funeral funds¨

¨shogenki...¨ she snarled, -- He roughly pushed him, going to walk off,

¨SHOGENKI¨ She hissed, punching the wall, the tips of her hair glowing vibrantly -- ¨hm..??¨ he turned to him, raising an eyebrow

She marched up to him, pulling him down by his collar, ¨ill give you to the count of three... you tell me where our brother is... or he wont be the only one feeling my wrath..¨ ((baby of the family is....very stern about protection of the family)) -- He grunted, staggering forward, grinning, ¨oh?? then thatll only make it all the more FUN¨ he used his knee to clock him in the side, ((bro is like hisoka... eccept for blood and abuse,,, not kids,, hes david,,, his stage names are Zerif and Hell hound,,,))

¨1....¨ -- barbus stopped him quickly after, lightly and repeatedly slapping him, ¨hey- kid..you know hes only trying to stress you out... he plays dirty like that... you fall in his trap.. you loose... ok.. stay focused..¨

¨two....¨ -- Barbus sighed, Zerif held his chest, beginning to laugh before being pinned by barbus, ¨for the last time... leave the kid... ALONE...¨ barbus sneered as Zerif slowly silenced, ((being the oldest one there,, hes the scariest))

¨THREE..¨ ¨n...nikka...¨"renzor mumbled, peaking out of the closet, -- Barbus dropped him, walking away, Zerif stared after him before sneering at shogenki

¨HEY!¨ renzor squeaked, ¨that hurt!!¨ he hissed through the door ¨Open the door shogenki...¨" nikka glared -- ¨dont let him test you... like Scorpion said, hes just here to make you blinded by stress and rage.. he wins like that,¨ a boy, much smaller then most of the men there sat next to him, fixing his own bandages, humming softly

¨...¨ she went to shove him to the side, -- ¨no.. i mean his quirk allows him to feed off of rage.. like a leech... hes a parasitic weirdo...¨ he huffed, fixing the mask he had on

¨move..¨ ¨shogenki... theres alot of blood-¨ renzor huffed -- ¨i.. hm.. good luck- hopefully you hold out long enough for me to get a chance to spar with you-¨ the boy hummed, getting up and walking off Barbus blinked at him, ¨hey kazuki,pretty boy- kiddo, i thought you couldnt make it-¨ ¨im here now.. does it really matter..?¨ ¨salty as always, hey kid shadow, its go time¨ Barbus turned to shogenki ((He makes funny names))

¨im bleeding out in here...¨ renzor grumbled ¨OPEN THE DAMN DOOR SO I CAN TEND TO HIM DAMN IT¨ ((sibling dynamic: the two that get hurt the one that can heal)) -- ¨yeah yeah, shadow boy, lets go-¨ he hummed, ruffling his head and heading out

¨...i promise..¨ ((lies)) -- ((o k b u t w e b o w e b o w e b o)) ¨hey kiddo, you stay, allow the old man to make his entrance-¨ the referee stopped him, ¨yikes.. old man??¨ Barbus made a playful wince before walking out, the referee announcing him ¨OUT FIRST- WE HAVE OUR CROWN JEWEL, THE MAN THE LADYS WOO OVER, THE MAN, THE GOD, SCORPION-¨ aggressive cheering could be heard while barbus steeped out

¨Just open the damned door..¨ she hissed -- ¨come on kid, its the best i got- and do you know how many women line up to ask him out...shes... talk about a natural charmer¨ the referee huffed

shesh*))

¨you do that.. you have no pill privilages for a week.. and ill punish you from sai-¨ she glared, dragging renzor out and sitting him down, ¨Nikka.. i can explain¨ ¨shut up.. i told you not to do this.. mother asked you... begged you..never to hurt yourself for anything we needed...¨ ¨im sorry..¨ -- He huffed, ¨now...FOR THE LITTLE CUB WE LOOKED DOWN UPON, LEAPING BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS TO GET HIS WAY TO THE TOP- WITH A PELT OF STEAL AND A HUNGER FOR BLOOD- TORBEN¨ ((Tried my best- in a blep rn))

¨idiot...¨ ¨i know..¨ -- ((:3)) The crowd cheered, Barbus could be seen chuckling at him

Nikka glared at renzors wounds, he hissed at her flames as she healed him -- ¨alright kid-¨ Barbus laughed

¨the bandages-¨ she reached her hand out- -- ¨oo getting better at trash talking¨"he also got into a stance, grinning

((brb babyshark,,, cleaning room-))

he winced, ¨why is he so heat sensitive... are you?? im not and mother wasnt...¨ she blinked at shogenki after she was done, this was obviously on her mind for the duration of the time she spent healing him -- ¨watch your mouth kid~ i have the best hearing out of all you youngsters~¨ he vanished into the ground, as if one with the (concret?? sand?? i dunno.. hes just like a scorpion.. can phase and move with rocks and sand... and he has good memory and senses like one would say the earth does... hes like.... and actual god.. his quirk has been trained to be very powerful... i need to start with his lore.. make him even) cooler..))

((renzor sensitive boi... sho and nikka took all the heat and cold resistance.... renzor was just left with very strong skin against melee attacks)) ¨hm...¨ she huffed renzor looked down, clearly exhausted, ¨lets get him home..¨ -- the crowd murmured small oo´s before Barbus jumped out at him,

¨i- how??¨ ¨test what...your stupidity...??¨ renzor grumbled, chuckling at what he had said afterward ¨i...¨ -- he landed on all fours, sliding to a stop, phasing back into the ground, leaping at him from behind

he winced ¨and you got mad at nikka for hurting me,,, damn hypocrite¨ he huffed, touching his arm, -- he quickly grabbed his hand, dragging him down, taking a rolling landing and throwing him

¨you deserved that¨ he mocked, grumbling as he quickly heated up his finger -- He didnt wait, tackling him back to the ground, vanishing just as quickly

he continued to heat his hand up, ¨well..??¨ -- sai could be sean examining the ring with renzor, renzor aggressively tapped sai on the shoulder, wide eyed. sai glanced up, jaw dropping barbus had leaped out of one of the beams,

¨....unfair..¨ he grumbled, taking his hand away -- he tackled him to the ground, holding him there, but purposely giving him an opening ((kick or somthin))

ẗhere was a small burn mark in the shape of renzors fingerprint -- he tumbled back,

renzor grumbled angrily, crossing his arms -- ¨done yet boy??¨ barbus chuckled, also taking a fighting stance,

he huffed, -- ¨oh no- had it afew hours ago- it was quite nice- you should start taking them, you seem a bit unbalanced-¨ he hummed ((calling him a toddler))

¨ok..¨ he got up, wincing, ¨no sharp movements now renzor..¨ nikka hummed, -- ¨you look very unbalanced, its quite normal for ones your age-¨ barbus circled him renzor let out a small grunt, sai muttered nervously Zorro huffed, ¨old man knows what hes doing...¨ ((barbus needs to get him fired up))

¨yeah.. im fine-¨ ¨SHOGENKI!!! RENZOR!!! I MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY TOLD NIKK- AAAAAAA-¨ zorro ran in, falling backward upon seeing nikka- the others followed, -- ¨oh??¨ he hummed, ¨ill take that as a compliment, i have aged like a fine wine.. no wrinkles at all... hard to tell which era im from isnt it..¨ he grinned sai tilted his head, turning to zorro, ¨is this guy serious..?¨ Zorro shrugged, ¨sure am!! very serious!" barbus parked a laugh, turning to sai, most of the women around him muttered jealously , not being the ones talked to, sai shrunk down, Renzor patted him on the back, humming ¨there there¨

¨s h e s h e r e.....¨ zorro scrambled back, hiding behind shiro, ¨can we go home now....so much blood...¨ sai grumbled, shiro nodded in agreement, both look like they were fighting the unusually natrual urge to run back to the arena and feast on the giant muts remains, ((hungry doggos....)) -- he grunted, staggering back, ¨now that hurt...¨ he wiped the bit of blood that trickled on to his lip, before glaring, vanishing again

they both followed, both very strained, zorro slowly backed out, the rest followed -- a sharp force hit him from behind,

((no know)) -- no one was there, the same force came from the side, ((speedy old man))

((E)) -- The force hit him from random angles,

((Ehe)) barbus was airborne again, glaring at the shadows,¨oh?? finally throwing a tantrum are we??¨

((:000)) ¨i...this isnt a tantrum i wanna be involved in..¨ barbus sighed

He grunted, ¨oh dear¨ sai blinked, ¨ẗhats one why that happened..¨ Zorro choked a laughed, what he was drinking coming out his nose, taking what sai said a very wrong way ¨so.. he used those on you??¨ renzor blinked ¨i.. huh...¨ sai blinked back ((i love these idiots))

((i...))

Renzor quickly leaned over the bars, ¨WOAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA¨ he pointed, seeming very excited at what he saw, Sai´s jaw dropped barbus blinked, ¨holy shit-¨

((he thinks its cool, very excited to see his big brother having a similar thing happen, he was the only one who had it- nikka actually used henna for hers so renzor wouldn't feel different- and he can tell how powerful shogenki is, hes just like.. one of those happy baby brothers-)) ¨yeah you do need a nap..¨ barbus hummed,

((the little boy in him is showing)) ¨aw come on kid- you took all the fun out of it,¨ he struggled against it,

¨gah!!¨ he hissed (( B A R B U S N O))

he groaned a bit after, ¨now your just ticking me off...¨ he glared, vanishing, this time into a pile of sand in the tendrils grasp ((i will not allow this well made man be almost deadened- not again))

(( i c a n t e l l )) Sai stared, blinking Renzor grinned, ¨now just watch, he has the upper hand, the old man is gonna slow down in attacks after what he did..¨ ¨im watching... im watching...¨ sai hummed, there was no sign of barbus for a solid minute ((focus.. sai: im fo-))

((Sai: *nervously trying to make out words* sh...shut up)) a sudden force dragged him down, keeping him to the ground ((he usually does what those sand spiders, snakes and scorpions do, lie in wait, ))

Barbus held him there, in a headlock, ¨sleep... sleeeeeeeep-¨ at this point he was almost begging for him to go out, ((sai is currently out of commission, hes sitting in his thinking corner, trying to collect himself))

He hissed, throwing him quickly getting to his feet

¨one last time,¨ he groaned to himself, going to attack him,

He laid there, still, ((bro faking.. he tired-)) sai squeaked, Zorro slipped on a cup that was dropped by someone near by, Renzor seemed to wait for afew seconds to pass, breathing in to start cheering

He opened an eye, looking at him before grunting, closing it again, giving everyone the impression he was out Renzor was the first to start cheering, followed by a group of people before everyone was cheering for him sai blinked, ¨woah¨ zorro tried to stand, ¨what´d i miss..¨

¨AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!! I GUESS EXPERIENCE WAS NO MATCH FOR BRUTE FORCE!!¨ The referee howled

he slumped, huffing silently ¨ill get you later kid shadow,,¨ he chuckled,

¨yeah yeah,¨ he grunted, ((time skip to one of the second to last round???))

¨ALRIGHT!!¨ the referee´s voice boomed, ¨now, this wont be the last round!! there has been an unexpected pop up, so this will be to see who our final contestant is!!¨

Kazuki glanced over, waving at him and giving him a thumbs up, like a small ¨good luck¨ Hell hound walked past them both, paying no mind to either

The referee announced Hellhound, a sharp pause before announcing shogenki

((Awe)) Hellhound glared at him, everyone cheering-

¨i wont be the one needing it...¨ he broke into a sick grin as he moved his skull mask over his eyes,

((:0)) he circled him, staring him down

He quickly went to attack him,

He did it again, ((he will try to aggravate him, then the aggravation will become anger, and he will try to use it to get stronger ))

He staggered back, before going to attack him again,

He grunted, holding his chest, before shifting, growling

He stalked around him, baring his teeth,

He stopped before leaping at him,

He locked his jaw around one of his arms, sinking his teeth in, the force of his bite going to break his forearm ((mind you,,,, hes a very large doggo..))

With that, there was a sharp snap, Renzor jumped up, sai covered his mouth, barbus could be seen watching anxiously from the side, narrowing his eyes and muttering, ¨come on kid...¨

He growled, grinning, ¨why look at that~¨

He circled him once again, eyeing him closely, Sai looked as if he wanted to jump in, his arm held tightly by renzor, ¨keep calm....¨ renzor glared ¨calm..¨ ¨yes...calm...¨

He took a step closer, Sai quickly tried to jump over the railing, renzor tugging him back, Hellhound turned to them, raising an eyebrow, ¨your fear an worry taste delicious.. and is that a small glint of rage..?? ooooo you seem not to have liked that~¨ he sneered, his eyes glinting with a crazed sense, Sai snarled from where he was, renzor narrowed his eyes

Hellhound changed his direction, padding over to them, everyone seemed to back away, sai glared angrily, ¨i don´t think you´ll like what i´ll do next~ but by all means... watch..your anger is lovely~¨ he barked a laugh before turning back to shogenki

he stalked closer to him, chuckling sickly, his tail lashing

¨why..?? you didnt like it..??¨ he grinned,

he recoiled slightly, tilting his head

¨hm...¨

he sneered, charging at him

He hissed, getting up and shaking his pelt out

he froze, looking around, trying to see if he could sense any sort of negative emotions from him, sniffing the air

he roared, trying to get him off

he hissed, rearing back and falling hard, ((i feel shogenki could wrangle a bull...))

He rolled, trying to repeat the process,

he let out a roar of annoyance,

He forced himself up, trying to reach him,

He froze,

he snarled, staying still

he growled, before relaxing, slamming his paw against the floor twice, ((ehe)) everyone went silent

he seemed to purposely go limp, allowing whatever pain he was in to settle, growling in irritation

he glared at him through the corner of his eye, before grunting staying where he was, the crowd started cheering, sai stayed silent, still visibly ticked off at what happened, renzor patted his head,

Zorro made a happy, ¨WOP WOP,¨ sound, he elbowed sai, who huffed, ¨ill get that guy later,¨ he grumbled, marching off to get a snack from the concession stand so he could stress eat during the next fight, renzor following because sugar

he glared, nipping at his hand, before pushing himself up, padding away with a grunt ((very angry))

((yes.. renzor very happy boy-)) after he walked back, zorro could be seen trying to get into the locker room, blocked by barbus, ¨youll get him in trouble kid-¨ ¨ I NEED TO SPEAK WITH HIM-¨

¨i-¨ barbus sighed like an exhausted father, walking to his bag, Zorro waddled in, ¨you never showed us that- when-¨ ¨SHO- WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL US-¨ renzor marched in, holding some snacks, sai trailed after, munching on some mochi he had found

he dropped his snacks, examining him, ¨h o w-¨ his eyes glittered, his ears out and his tail swaying sai blinked, ¨they look nice on you..¨ he sat down on a bench near the door, trying to keep his gaze on what he was eating

¨n o t h i n g m u c h??¨he tilted his head, ¨you knew.. and never told me?!¨ renzor huffed Barbus watched, chuckling

((aw no)) He blinked, ¨ah... BUT STILL!! THEY LOOK SO COOL,¨ he blinked at his own, trying to see if they matched up ((so where would they get it from?? oron?? or just random))

¨i though i was the only one,¨ he huffed, ((:0 tell father i greet back, but with more gae then him 😎))

((:000)) sai waved zorros phone, ¨oh- i thought i lost it,¨ Zorro let out a sigh of relief, having dropped it when he slipped

¨all of it, if it didnt shut off when i fell,¨ Zorro hummed ((W H A T))

¨alrighty¨ he took his phone back from sai, doing so, renzor wrapped his arm around him, ¨now, you have one more fight right??¨ ((nikka is gonna march in like, ¨i may have found out afew months ago you were my brother, but you will also feel my wrath for willingly harming yourself for invalid reasons¨))

((¨INVALID¨)) ¨i- its not my fault you went and broke your arm-¨ he huffed, Hellhound walked from his locker, sai glared at him, hellhound blinked, before glaring back, zorro backed away ((they are in a mental war right now))

he sighed, sai stood up, his head tilting to the side in a very menacing way Helllhound stepped forward, snarling barbus narrowed his eyes, ¨hm..¨ zorro slowly pulled out his phone ((trash talking in dog))

¨no no no... this bastard needs to learn that talking too much can get his tongue cut...¨ he tried to move back infront of him ¨have at me brat¨hellhound sneered challengingly

sai growled, glaring at hellhound, them starting the silent argument once again, barbus lifted a hand and motioned for shogenki to leave it be, somehow knowing what would happen, attempting to reassure him ((David has bad blood with zoldyk sai will shift.. david will be scared shitless 😌))

barbus walked over, ¨lemme see.. you couldnt have broken later on,¨ he chuckled after little bit hellhound grabbed sai by the hair, lifting him up, he hissed before shifting, his tails lashing, Zerif stepped back, ¨i...¨

zerif staggered back before running off, sai sat, huffing as he put one of his tails over his paws

¨what.. i warned him..¨ he huffed, barbus laughed, wrapping shogenkis arm

¨yeah yeah, i know what im doing..¨ he huffed,

¨shhh,¨ he hummed, after finishing he huffed ¨you see, not that bad,¨

¨not even a thank you??¨ he scoffed

¨tch, kids these days and manners-¨ he walked off Sai blinked at him, shoving is snout into his side, Kazuki walked over, ¨you are a quite astonishing being....¨ he hummed, tilting his head at sai,
