Chapter 185: The Bloody Lunatic of Villains Wrath (1/2)
Gale was smashed to the ground once more by Diego. He was unable to land a single hit thanks to his opponent's ability completely countering his. Before he even had the chance to call upon his ultimate power, the bell rang, deciding Diego's victory. Feeling embarrassed Gale sat down mumbling to himself. ”I've beaten arranged cult leaders and one of the stages of Grief yet I couldn't even get a hit in on one streamer…”
Diego moved his neck around, feeling all stiff. ”Cakewalk. All that's left is Zinnia now.”
Jinx was slouched over sitting in the crowd, pretending to yawn. ”How exciting. Can you hurry this one up though? That last fight was a drag.”
Diego shook his head, snarling. ”Like to see you avoid every single hit that tank takes. At the finish mark, he hit me once I'd be down for the count…”
”Well good luck trying to get through fucking Zinnia Trost.”
Diego stroked his chin glancing at her for a short time. ”I've been thinking of a few plans to defeat her. I might have something here.”
”Go get them, tiger,” Jinx said half heartily standing up. As she did, her head hit a newly formed barrier which consumed both of them. ”What the?”
Gale was a victim to this as all of the streamers apart from Zinnia were pinned down and captured. Diego punched the cube in anger. ”Shit, I should have seen this coming!”
The crowd began roaring as Zinnia turned, letting electricity fizzle through her fingertips. ”Finally.”

Marco was pressed against the glass fidgeting hopping on one leg. ”So much passion and power! Fuck, why did I agree to go last?”
”Patience Marco, we don't want to ruin the game. You know why we brought them here for.” Crypto whispered, sitting from his chair watching the action. ”Who are those two you invited?”
”Diego Jolts and Jinx Montague. They made quite the impression on me after fighting Team Rhapsody.”
Leaning back in his chair, she sipped his ice-cold drink. ”Never heard of them. Is there a reason you invited them? I wanted Zinnia, not them.”
Marco curled his hand back as small cubes formed around his finger-tips. ”They made a joke of Destiny and me. I have no intention of fighting them. I just brought them here to show them not to fuck with Villain's Wrath… Something wrong?”
Crypto stood up, staring down at Diego who had now just beaten Gale. ”Him, I don't trust him at all. Something feels off about the whole thing. Take care of them, Marco, don't let them get in the way of our plan.”
”So… That means I can fight?”
Crypto turned to Marco, making him jolt in fear as a cold hand was placed on his shoulder. ”Fight and die for our cause Marco. Fight and die.”
”That's all you had to say, boss.” He replied, shooting his barrier out blowing the window apart. Diego, Jinx and Gale were all caught in a set of cubes stopping them for interrupting the show. Zinnia turned as the crowd roared with excitement. ”The moment you've all been waiting for ladies and Gentlemen. Our very own cannot hold it back any longer. The undefeated Zinnia Trost now must face off against the next challenge! The king of the Underground and undefeated champion. Give it up for the bloody lunatic of Villain's Wrath Marco Hill!”
