Intertwined (3)

"Hello?" I answered.

"So I heard you were looking for me." The voice said.

"Lance?" I asked then put it on speaker.

"You realize that I have an entire Yakuza as well right? You have no chance of winning. In fact...I might entertain you. Expect me to be there in two months. Summer Slammers is where you want to meet, I've got you. Set up the Grand Slammer Event." Lance said.

"Lance!" Lexi called out.

Lance was a bit surprised to hear from Lexi. "Well well, the adopted brat. How are you doing little sister?~"

Lexi glared and took the phone from my hands. "You lied about me and Royal! You caused our parents to disown us! It took us YEARS to get back with Mama and Papa! When we tell Mr. And Mrs. Wright—"

"You won't be doing shit, Alexis. Even after rebuilding your relationship with Seiko and Rantaro, you aren't strong enough to deal with me even with the help of Kaden's parents. My crew will wipe you and everyone you know out. Summer City is nothing without the Wright Bloodline...especially Gregory Wright. Also tell Georgia that I miss her." Lance said menacingly then hung up.

"Lance! You fucking—" Lexi started then grunted when I held her shoulders.

"Lexi, calm down." I said and rubbed her shoulders. "You and Elizabeth go warn people about the events that will go down. Elizabeth, I need you to go find a way to get Ryan to talk to me."

Lexi and Elizabeth looked at me then looked at each other.

[Do it alone]

"If you all help me, it would do more good for us and will even allow us to actually save West Arkington. How will I take you on dates if we're all dead?" I said.

{Lexi is hesitating...}

{Elizabeth is uncertain..}

"Me and Royal kinda agreed to not get involved in fights like this...I want to help you, I truly do because I love you...I really want you to see it through.." Lexi said and looked at me with saddened eyes.

"And I kinda don't want to watch you die, dork...I don't want to lose you...it's totally not cool.." Elizabeth said and held her arm.

{New Choices Available}

[Convince Them More (70% Chance)]

[I don't need them]

I pulled Lexi and Elizabeth in for a hug. They seemed a bit surprised and slowly embraced me.

"I can't do this alone. I can't have it be them against me again...I can't.." I said softly.

{Lexi is warming up...}

{Elizabeth is a bit convinced...}

"Lexi...Liz. I need your help. After all of this is over and we finish the problem, I'll take you all on all of the dates you want no questions asked. I'll go bankrupt for your expensive ass shit." I said.

Liz softly laughed and shook her head. "I don't want you going bankrupt, Kay."

"I wouldn't mind if he did." Elizabeth said and smiled.

{Lexi and Elizabeth are convinced!}

"Anyway, I'll help out. I'll see what I can do on my end to help out." Lexi said.

"Me too." Elizabeth said then pointed at me. "But this is gonna cost you extra!"

I smiled at Elizabeth and nodded. "I understand, Liz."

{Day: Thursday}

{Time: 1:00 PM}

{Location: Summer Slammers}

I helped Royal with bartending and showed off my mixology skills. Royal and I have always competed with one another when we were younger. It was one of the things that kept us as close as we were.

"Okay you little show off." Royal chuckled and sat down in her seat. She took out her phone and crossed a leg over the other.

I leaned against the wall and looked down at her. "Mmm, you've grown sexy over the years."

{Royal liked that a lot..}

Royal looked up at me and scoffed. "You finally appreciate real beauty now?"

"You sure sound jealous, I'm up for grabs now." I chuckled.

Royal looked at me up and down. She smirked and looked back at her phone. "The back room is always open. Not unless you're not man enough to handle me.."

"You know I can handle you. I would have you tapping out while saying my name.." I smirked.

"Yeah?" Royal asked and stood up. "You sound so confident, how about we test that theory of yours out?"

"Alright you little sex crazed youngsters, enough with your bantering." My grandfather chuckled was he walked toward us.

I looked at Papa Gregory and smiled. "Hey she started it."

"Oh please, you flirt..~" Royal chuckled and crossed her arms.

Papa Gregory stood behind us and placed his hands on our shoulders. "There's some trouble down there in the fight area. I need one of you to handle it."

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Unfair fighting, again. It's supposed to be a one on one, but we've got cases of jumpings happening. I would need one of my two star apprentices to settle the beef." Papa Gregory said.

Royal smirked and rolled up her sleeve. "Watch and learn, Kaden~"

Rhea smiled as she watched Royal vault over the counter. "I like her."

"Me too." I said softly.

Royal pushed her way through the crowd and put on her gauntlets. "I hear there's some unfair fighting going on in here. None of that will be tolerated here."

"And you think because you're a staff member, you can just ruin what we got? This is a fight club." A man said.

"We warned you all about this shit last time. Now who's the ones jumping?" Royal asked.

"Me, bitch." A male with orange hair said. His blue green eyes shimmered in the sunlight as he looked at Royal.

"Of course it's you, Victor." Royal said and sighed.

"What are you gonna do about it?" Victor asked.

Royal looked at Victor then dashed toward him. Royal noticed one of his friends rushing out the crowd toward her. She dodged his strike then hit his face with en elbow strike then kicked him back. She dodged another strike from another one of Victor's friends then hit him with a hook kick, knocking him down.

Victor watched this and stood up. "Ahh so you think you're good huh.."

"I took down two of your buddies alone. That accounts for something.." Royal said and got into the fifth stance Papa Gregory taught her.

Victor smirked and ran toward her then went for an uppercut. Royal parried the uppercut then struck him with a left hook into a kick to the ribs twice, into a right jab. Victor stumbled back and the crowd cheered. More of Victor's friends jumped out of the crowd.

I loosened my tie and vaulted over the counter then launched myself toward the fight area. I ran toward the fight and struck down two of the five guys. Royal pushed one guy away then struck him with a roundhouse kick then donkey kicked the other guy in his nuts. He squeaked and fell to the ground, holding his balls.

"Yikes." Rhea said and covered her mouth from laughing.

"Damn, rest in peace to this guy's future kids." I said.

The last guy took out a metal pole and swung it. I blocked the pole and grabbed it then pulled him toward us. Royal struck the man with a superkick to the chin. The man was about to fall but I pulled him back up then Royal struck him with another superkick. I let the guy fall.

"Yeah and fuck that guy in specific." I said.

"Yeah fuck that guy. Even though he didn't need to be hit with two superkicks." Royal said.

Victor watched his crew get handled with ease. He tried to run off, but the crowd pushed him toward us. He looked at us then groaned when I sucker punched him. Royal hit Victor with an aerial spinning kick. He stumbled to the ground and tried to get up.

"Hold on! Hold on, let him get up." I said.

Victor got up and Royal immediately struck Victor with a superkick.

"She loves that superkick." Rhea said.

Victor couldn't defend himself when Royal and I jumped him.

"Hold on, hold on!" I said and Royal stopped attacking. "Let him get a hit."

Victor grunted and took a swing at me.

"Dodge." I said as I dodged the attack.

Royal struck Victor with a powerful donkey kick, knocking him backwards. She noticed Victor sitting up then struck his face with a superkick, knocking him out. The crowd cheered and gave us an applaud.

Royal smirked and rolled down her sleeves. "I did most of the work..~"

"Yeah alright..~" I chuckled and went around waking up Victor and his friends.

Papa Gregory smiled at our relationship and walked off.

{Time: 1:45 PM}

Royal let out soft moans as I kissed her neck while she leaned against the table in the back room. She giggled softly as reached up her skirt to grab her butt.

I stopped kissing her neck then sat her on the table. "That's all you're getting..~ We can't do too much here..~"

Royal smirked and crossed one leg over the other. "Scared of a little risk..?~"

"I like my privacy..~ I can't really hear you scream my name over the cheers of the crowd..~" I chuckled and leaned into Royal.

Royal leaned into me and kissed my lips. She pulled away and grabbed my tie. "You're really lucky my sister and I like you a lot..~ Especially my sister...she's been in love with you since we were kids..~"

"I wouldn't take no for an answer anyway, not when there's a literal gang wanting to kill me.." I said and chuckled softly.

"So you want Papa Gregory to train your friends huh?" Royal asked.

"Not friends. They're kinda my girlfriends, but we're kinda still working out what to call my poly relationship with them. Anyway not all of them need help, just Isabella." I said.

"I don't see why not honestly...Everyone in Summer City needs to learn how to fight honestly. Anything can go wrong in an instant.." Royal said and got off the table. "I've got to get back to work though..~ Let's have fun later~"

I smiled and pat her ass as she walked off. She chuckled and gave me the middle finger as she walked out the back room.

I walked out the back room and walked over to Papa Gregory's Dojo. I walked inside and noticed him meditating. I walked over to him and went for a roundhouse kick. He blocked it with his fist. He opened his eyes and smirked. He pushed me away and lunged at me.

I blocked his strikes then grunted as he palmed my stomach, making me slid backwards. I ran toward him and went for a spinning low kick, but he dodged it then dodged my spinning middle kick. He ducked under my high hook kick then grappled my leg. He pulled me away him and electricity slightly formed around his arm then he swung at me. I dodged it and flipped backwards.

"What the hell was that?" I asked.

{Bio-Energy. By maximizing his bodily functions he can exert natural energies from his body. He used it to utilize Bio-Elemental abilities.}

"I can do that too?" I asked.

"It's a really high cost." Rhea answered.

{Insufficient Credits. You need 25,000 to get it. You only have 10,000.}

"Looks like I shocked you didn't I?" Papa Gregory laughed and shook his hand to turn off his Bio-Electricity. "That's an ancient technique passed down from our ancestors. We've got the money and the hidden scrolls of the Mituski Clan. While your father became the best business man for our bloodline, I honored the Mituski Clan and learned their sacred teachings. For your 20th Birthday, I meant to send you the scrolls but I forgot to."

{Man your grandpa is fucking hardcore...He's 68 years old as well? He's an inspiration.}

"Anyway, what do you need?" He asked and smiled at me.

"I was wondering if you could train one of my...kinda girlfriends?" I asked.

"Kinda...girlfriend? And one of them? Man, my grandson is really impressing the ladies." My grandfather chuckled. "Who's the luck one to get chosen?"

"Her name is Isabella and she kinda doesn't know how to fight. I don't want her to go through the extensive training and Lexi, Royal, and I went through...but just teach her some fundamentals." I said.

"I can do that, but it's gonna cost ya." He said with a smile.

"How many fights?" I asked.

"20 fights in the Club against your previous teachers!" Papa Gregory said.

"Alright." I nodded and smiled.

My grandfather chuckled and sat back down to meditate once again. "My number one student...I can sense you're in danger."

Royal noticed me walking out of the dojo. "So how many fights?~"

"20." I said and playfully pushed Royal out the way.

Royal smiled and grabbed my arm. She noticed someone walking into the Fight Club. I looked at the person who entered and looked surprised.

"Janet..?" I asked in shock.
