Amanda: Mnnnn.... have you told your husband how badly you want to chain me up and have your wicked way with me sugarflaps?

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:52 pm

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: You say that to me like I'm going to be the one to do it... I know I can't tie you up strong enough to hold you, at least not by myself.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jul 13, 2011 7:09 pm

Alex and Jillian walk up to chain Amanda to the dungeon wall.

Amanda: Aw crap...... Alex?

Alex yeah?

Amanda: This is gonna suck isn't it?

Alex looks towards Lexi than back to Mandy.

Alex: Big time.....

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:15 pm

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: Oh, come on Mandy... if I could take it....

Her eyes shift.

Alexis: ... sort of...

She looks back at Amanda.

Alexis: ... then Micah should be fine, right?

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 2:07 am

Alex looks at Alexis, clears his throat, then double checks the tightness of Amanda's chains.

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 6:57 am

Jillian finishes her end of chaining up Amanda as well. She looks at the rest of them...

Jillian: It is time. Everyone....take your positions. Mandy....this will be hard. Prepare yourself.

Upstairs, Micah looks around the Hall one more time. He steels his resolve and answers...

Micah: There is no turning back for me now. Let's go.

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:31 am

Micah walks through the door at the end of the long hallway and hears it lock behind him. He walks down a long, dimly lit spiral staircase.... into a dungeon.... a literal dungeon.... the legendary Edwards family dungeon. The room is littered with weights, punching bags and suplex dummies. The room is lit by candles scattered around and being held by members of the Edwards family still dressed in their red robes. Directly in front of him he can see Amanda tightly chained to the stone wall.

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:36 am

Micah heads to Amanda slowly...

Micah: ...What is this? Are...are you alright?

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:40 am

Amanda looks sadly into Micah's eyes, unable to speak to him. Out of the darkness emerges Ewan.

Ewan: She is fine..... as I told you Micah.... you must make this journey alone.

Ewan sits in a large oak throne with red upholstery.

She must be bound to ensure she does not interfere with the final challenge.

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:43 am

Micah gives one more look to Amanda, mouthing the words, "I'll be fine. I love you." He then turns to Ewan and unzips his hoodie...

Micah: Yes. You did say that. What must I do?

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:45 am

Ewan looks around at the family all stood burning holes into Micah with their eyes.

Ewan: Choose.

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:47 am

Micah removes his hoodie, revealing no shirt underneath. He stretches quickly and cracks his neck from side to side...

Micah: Well, if I must....lets see if Mr. UFC champion can back up his bluster.

Micah walks up to Gabriel himself, glaring at him and blows out his candle for him...

Micah: You. Gabriel.

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:52 am

Gabe says nothing but looks to Ewan who nods.

Ewan: The choice...has been made. Micah, you will face Gabriel in combat...until he...and HE ALONE...deems you worthy of his sister. Do you understand?

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:06 am

Gabe smiles...and removes his jumpsuit hoodie. Micah returns to the center of the room and starts to warm up...in his own way. Gabe throws punches to warm up...

Gabe: This ain't a dance, sweetheart! Show me what you've got.

Micah: So eager. It's been that way ever since you've found out that I love Amanda. Why?

Gabe: Because you aren't worthy of her.

Micah: Ah...I see. Hmm...anytime your rea-

Micah can't get the words out as Gabriel rushes him down. Micah blocks all his strikes as best he can, but Gabe is....powerful. Finally Gabe connects with an uppercut to the solar plexus, doubling Micah over...

Gabe: Take note of where you are...St. Clair. This is all new to you....THIS IS HOME TO ME! You really think you can take me....here?!?!

Micah is slow to stand and Gabe flies in with a superman punch, knocking him down again...

Gabe: Pathetic. From the sound of it, I've broken your nose...already. Weak.

Micah can't stop the blood from running down his nose and face. He spits some of the blood from his mouth and stands...

Micah: Right...alright...

Gabe shoots in and suplexs Micah over his head. Micah flips in midair and lands in a Bagua stance...

Micah: ...Looks like I do have to fight. Very well.

Gabe attacks and swings with a perfect elbow...that Micah rolls into a joint manipulation, popping Gabe's shoulder out of it's socket. Micah's eyes sarcastically widen....

Micah: So the machine can be hurt...

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:11 am

Amanda feels the need to warn Micah.

Amanda: That's not going to hurt him Micah!

Ewan shoots her down with a glare.

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:22 am

Gabriel laughs...loudly as he effortlessly pops his shoulder back into place...

Gabriel: Even though it's against the rules...listen to her, Micah. How do you think Alex got so good? Who he trained with 11 hours a day? Who kept pushing him to be his best? Or Jayden...or Amanda? I AM THE PROTECTOR OF THE LEGACY! It falls to ME to watch them grow, train them up. WHO DO YOU THINK EWAN TRAINED FIRST?

Gabriel gets into his traditional wrestling stance...

Gabriel: Dislocate as many as you'd like. Break them all...I won't feel it.

Micah attacks, very impressively...but Gabe swats his attacks away as a lion would gnats. He finally catches Micah in a vertical suplex position...and he holds him there......for 15 minutes, walking him around the room so he can see all of the Edward's family's eyes. Finally he walks him in front of Amanda, right on the edge of the dais...

Gabriel: Did you know Micah...we have a technique called 'Purgatory'? See...I'm going to drop you on your neck...on the edge of this dais. Only the truly strong get up from this. Others....like you...snap like a twig. Never walk again. Look at him Amanda! I could hold him up here for hours! I wonder how much of his body's blood has rushed to his head now? You still with us there, emo?

Micah: .............f.........uck.....you.

Gabe: You first.

Gabe jumps off the dais and performs a perfect 'dead level' brainbuster. Micah's neck hits the edge of the dais...and he is out. Micah doesn't move for a good twenty minutes. Gabe looks down at him and smirks...

Gabe: Weaklin-

Micah: ......................................you.....

Gabe: Heh...I'll be damned.

Micah: ......................f-uck......you.....I'm...............still..............................standing.

Micah starts to pull himself up....

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:28 am

Amanda is struggling against the chains, snarling at Gabriel.

Pockets Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:34 am

Alexis stares at the fight, as she leans over to talk to her husband.

Alexis: Alex... I'm starting to think your mom took it easy on me.

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:35 am

Alex chuckles a little.

Alex: Tried to tell you sweetie.

Pockets Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:38 am

Alexis: Well, it's not like I've had much experience in that sort of thing.

She glances over at Jillian.

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:41 am

Alex: Neither did my mum.... the only initiation she'd been to before yours..... was hers.

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:43 am

Micah finally struggles to his feet, but he's a lot worse for wear. He can barely stand. Gabe advances again....like a shark in a blood bath...

Gabe: Ooooh...a hurt neck. Chum in the water, Micah.

Micah: Did...anyone....ever....te...ll you....

Without warning, Micah spearhands Gabriel in the throat, causing a sharp inhale sound...

Micah: ....you talk .....too fuckin' much?

Pockets Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:44 am

Alexis gasps.

Alexis: He broke his neck... how the hell is he still standing?

Cruel Britannia Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:47 am

Alex doesn't flinch but is sizing up the injuries.

Alex: Micah or Gabe......?

Cryonix Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:50 am

Gabriel tries to speak but can't. Micah advances slowly, hitting Gabe at different points along his body...

Micah: W...what....no diatribe? N....no witty comeback Gabriel?

Micah hits a point right above Gabriel's neck...slightly off by a half inch. Alex and Alexis know that Micah was aiming for a death point...but missed it on purpose. Gabe starts to turn blue...

Micah: There is...nothing...I wouldn't do...to protect Amanda. Do you understand?

Gabe starts to turn purple....

Micah: ....no? Ok....I'll wait..
