Chapter 103 - Silent but Deadly (2/2)

Yurika got in trouble when a group of 5 cornered her near the edge. She jumped at the first guy, wrapped her legs around his torso and spin around him and pushed him out of the ring with her feet, another guy grabbed her arm to try and throw her out. Yurika twisted her arm, spun, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out of the ring, but a third guy used this chance to rush her and was going to body check her out of the ring. Yurika dropped to a knee and the guy tripped over body, as he was falling she stood back up and flipped him not so gently out of the ring. As she was standing up, the last two guys both grabbed one of her legs each and were going to toss her out. She could only use her ultimate move... Monkey Steals Cherries double-edition. She reached out and grabbed both of their "cherries" and before she could even demand they submit, they had released her legs and screamed "I SUBMIT!"

Major Valen pointed at Yurika and said "Disqualified!"

"What for?!?" Yurika complained

"Striking, I'm sure every other guy here will agree as well!"

Yurika looked around and saw all the guys looking at her with fear while covering their 'cherries'. She hung her head low and then walked off.

Gray thought "Whew, glad she didn't use that on me."

Eventually Paul was overwhelmed when a group of 4 went for him and Stacia, Stacia didn't fight back though and just stepped out of the ring. "I'm sorry Paul, I don't feel comfortable hurting people!"

Whether by trickery, skill, or strength, eventually all that was left was Gray, Geoff, and Major Valen.

"Dude, I have no idea how we're going to beat him." Geoff admitted to Gray.

"Neither do I!" Gray said as he clenched his teeth.

All 3 of them were sweating like crazy, Major Valen has several bruises on his arms where people had tried to hold on as he flung them out of the ring. Gray and Geoff were only marginally better since even though striking was not allowed, that didn't mean it wouldn't accidentally happen.

Gray leaned in to Geoff and whispered "I'm bigger than you, so run behind me when I dive at him, then push us both out of the ring!"

"I doubt that will work, but let's give it a shot, I'm tired anyways!" Geoff whispered back.

Gray ran straight at Major Valen, then he suddenly pretended to see someone to the side of Major Valen and said "Oh! I didn't know you were still here Verona!"

Major Valen turned to look at where Gray was looking and Gray jumped straight at Major Valen. Major Valen turned back towards Gray at the last second, caught him, then whispered to him "That's the oldest trick in the book."

"It was worth a shot!" Gray said

Major Valen took a step towards the edge of the ring to toss Gray out and at that same time Geoff ran at full speed into Gray and Major Valen. Surprisingly Major Valen was caught off guard, and he stumbled towards the edge of the ring. Gray was unceremoniously thrown out of the ring while Geoff was doing his best to keep pushing Major Valen. Major Valen stomped his foot down to stop himself and grabbed Geoff to throw him out as well, but he looked down and saw the foot he had stepped down with was out of the ring.

"You got lucky boy!" Major Valen said to Geoff as he released him.

Geoff jumped excitedly and cheered for himself, he had beaten Major Valen! He had help, but he still managed to beat him!

"Why isn't anyone else cheering?" Geoff said to himself.

Geoff turned to look at Gray who was lying on his back and saw that Gray was laughing slightly and he couldn't figure out what was funny.

Suddenly Geoff felt a shove from behind and he was sent out of the ring.

"Winner! Corporal Erita!" Major Valen barked followed by rounds of cheering.

Xyra was glad she seemed to naturally disappear from people. All she did was sit on the mat near the edge and not say a word. Nobody noticed her, nobody paid attention to her, and even the 5 others on her team forgot about her.

Geoff turned around to see Xyra standing their smiling. She held out one hand and flashed him a 'V' with her fingers.

"I guess our team still won anyways, right?" Geoff said in a defeated tone.
