Fatal Five-way Elimination Match (IV): The Capable One

Thane's eyes continued to glow like a moonlight, staring death into Arnold's eyes. As they roamed around the ring, heavy gazes were exchanged from both sides. Arnold still kept his cool, after all, it wasn't as if facing a single opponent was the hardest of what he had gone through.

Right now, if Thane didn't attack...

'Then I will...'

With the blink of an eye, Arnold threw himself at Thane Ryder with incredible speed. Thanks to his ever-advancing Agility and Attack Power, before Thane could react, a punch came pouncing on his face. However, that didn't do much to take him down.

An interesting punch exchange session began the next moment, both men avenging every single bang they receive on their pale faces.

Arnold was feeling his cheek ache, but he never dared to back off. The punch launched by Thane seemed to be causing more damage, but with a confidential Endurance in his attribute arsenal, Arnold never felt the natural pain it could cause.

It wasn't until Thane delivered an elbow punch on Arnold's jaw that he backed off a little...

In a rush, Arnold himself again at the sly figure, aiming for a clothesline. However, it only turned out that Thane had the same thing in mind.

With a great impact, they made a collision, both men falling on the mat as they clutched their chests.

"Thane Ryder and Max Fury are undoubtedly two unbelievable figures! What a match!" A commentator praised.

Arnold felt as if he was seeing stars as he glanced up at the lights fixed at the top against the ring. It had really been a long battle... A Fatal Five-way Elimination Match.

While the fans were feeling excited to watch the interesting showdown, those who were making it possible were feeling bunches of intense pain all over.

Even Thane Ryder was gasping as though he had just completed a marathon race. Nonetheless, they still had to get the job done.

The match must come to an end.

There must be a winner.

Both men stood up from the mat at the same time as if planned, but Thane grabbed Arnold's hair with a great force of anger.

"You! I'm going to cause you so much pain. I'll make you cry for help!!!"

Thane launched a two-elbow punch into Arnold's face again, making him fall to his knees. Seeing that Max Fury was slightly out, he quickly carried him on both shoulders and delivered a Samoan Drop.

*Boom*

Thane quickly pinned Arnold as soon as he landed on the mat.

"One. Two..."

However, Arnold kicked out at the count of two.

Thane Ryder frowned.

A terrific look suddenly appeared on his face. Standing up he walked towards the turnbuckles on one corner. He stared around at the congregation, giving off a look of hatred and distaste.

"What?! What the hell is Thane trying to do?!!"

"He is uncovering the turnbuckle!!!"

The whole arena seems to have erupted in shouts. To the fans, it was already becoming interesting, but to Arnold, this wasn't longer funny.

Thane Ryder was uncovering the turnbuckle, which was against the rules!

The referee approached him and gave him a warning, however, Thane didn't pay attention. Opening the turnbuckle guard, he turned to go back to Arnold.

*Bang*

What he received wasn't what he expected. Just by turning in Max Fury's direction, he received a great superkick. Arnold quickly staggered toward Thane and covered him.

"One. Two..."

But Thane kicked out at two.

Arnold couldn't help but glare.

'Not gonna waste a second. I'll deliver a Neckbuster to his motherfucking ass!'

Arnold grabbed Thane and attempted to pin him under his arms. Although Thane allowed him to pull him up, a punch on Arnold's belly was what followed.

"Ohh oh!" Arnold exclaimed.

Thane threw himself on the rope, bounced back, and launched a dropkick right after. Making Arnold fall. However, this time, he didn't make any covering attempts.

Instead, he dragged Arnold close to one of the ring corners and quickly climbed to the top turnbuckle. Reaching the top, he raised his hands high.

"I'm the capable one!!!" He shouted with hatred.

"BOO!!!!!!"

The fans reacted with hatred also, however, that only put a smile on his face.

Returning his attention to Max Fury, he gasped for a few seconds, and with a crazy impact, he dived face-first onto the mat, attempting to deliver a Splash to Arnold.

Well... It was too late.

While he was busy teasing the fans, he had earned Max Fury enough time to recover.

Instead of landing something on the youngster's body, he felt his belly and chest plunging on Arnold's knees.

In an instant, Thane fell to the other side of the mat, groaning in pain. Not only did his belly and chest feel the attack, but that thing right in between his legs was hurt.

The pain was so crazy that Thane's groans rang like the sound of a car engine, his face turning red, his veins almost popping out.

[You wouldn't waste this opportunity, would you?]

Arnold heard his Advocate whisper inside of him, a smile appearing on his face.

While Thane rolled over the mat in pain, he clenched his fist and watched his helpless ass with a look of distaste.

It was enough. He had to finish it off.

If Thane Ryder had this opportunity, the cruel man wouldn't spare a hesitation before using it properly.

Arnold walked over and pulled Thane. In a rush he pinned him under his arms and raised his legs, landing backward.

Thane Ryder's neck plunged hard against the thick mat, sending him to a world of pain and unconsciousness at that instant.

Meanwhile, the latter proudly raised his left leg and covered for a count, the whole arena awaiting a storming three count of victory declaration.

"ONE. TWO. THREE!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Here is your winner, the Number One Contender for the Grindhouse Omega Championship match, Max Fury!!!"

A rain of cheers splashed from all angles as the congregation rendered applause. The song of Max Fury echoed through the building, acknowledging his incredible glory.

The last man standing staggeringly rose on his feet, getting his arms grabbed and raised to practically announce his victory.

Just like that, Max freaking Fury came out victorious yet again.

He was the Capable One!
