Fatal is shocked.

Fatal: What? We don’t have the right to do that!

Hunt: You don’t. He does.

Hunt looks at Adrian.

Hunt: An examinee’s hero course teacher is allowed to remove them from the exam for any reason. I’m able to contest that choice if I believe they’re being unfair, but in this case, I do not.

Adrian: You really think that’s the right choice?

Hunt: I believe you’re playing with fire if you allow him to continue. We don’t want a repeat of what happened at the Showcase.

Adrian thinks for a moment.

Fatal: You can’t be seriously considering this, Adrian! Hayze just had a breakthrough! Sure, he had a tough time at the start of the match, but he handled himself well by the end!

Adrian flashes back to Khaos’ appearances.

Adrian: If I were to pull him, would he still be eligible to pass the exam?

Hunt: Yes, but based on my assessment, I’d say that would be unlikely. He showed strong combat skills in terms of situational awareness, versatility, and strategic intellect. However… it will be hard for the board of judges to look past his attempt to severely injure his opponent.

Adrian goes quiet.

Adrian: He’ll stay.

Fatal: Good.

Hunt doesn’t emote.

Hunt: Alright.

Hunt begins walking back towards the disc.

Adrian: Mr. Hunt.

Hunt: Hm?

Adrian: I can’t help but feel you were being biased against Hayze just now.

Hunt: Maybe, but I’m trying to look out for the safety of everyone in this stadium.

Hunt departs.

Adrian: (I have faith in him.)

Hunt returns to the center of the arena.

Hunt: Apologies for the delay. Now let’s move on to the seventh match.

Isaiah and Demetri start sweating bullets.

Isaiah: (Oh…)

Demetri: (Crap…)

Two staircases materialize leading up to the spectators’ seats.

Silver: (It’s about time.)

Silver stands up and starts walking down one staircase.

Isaiah: Do you think we should forfeit?

Demetri: What! No!

Isaiah: Then why are your legs shaking?

Demetri looks down at his legs.

Demetri: I drank too much coffee!

Isaiah: There’s no coffee here!

Demetri: That’s because I drank it all!

Blair, Wes, and Eve stare at Isaiah and Demetri with unenthused looks.

Blair: The match hasn’t even started, and they’re arguing…

Eve: If those two idiots last even three minutes, I’ll be surprised…

Wes: Three is generous.

Aaron gets up and walks over to Isaiah and Demetri.

Aaron: What are you two soldiers doing? You have a match right now!

Isaiah: We’re afraid, sir!

Demetri: Sir, Silver is practically a god in combat! We don’t think we stand a chance!

Aaron kneels.

Aaron: Men, I know this battle seems challenging. You’re going up against an enemy that not only is more powerful than you, but he’s also better looking, more popular, not a degenerate, has a brighter future-

Isaiah: You can stop.

Demetri: We get it.

Aaron: But look at the bright side. This is your chance to prove everyone wrong! You are not pathetic losers that have almost zero social skills and are solely motivated by sexual thrill and-

Isaiah: Aaron!

Demetri: We get it!

Aaron: Now go out there and give it your all.

Isaiah and Demetri stare at Aaron.

Isaiah: W- was that supposed to encourage us?

Demetri: That’s it. I’m forfeiting.

Aaron grabs Isaiah and Demetri by their collars.

Aaron: Now get out there, men!

Isaiah: Wait! What are you doing!

Demetri: Put me down!

Aaron chucks Isaiah and Demetri toward the center of the arena.

Isaiah and Demetri: AHHHHHHH!

The two of them smack into the ground next to Silver and Hunt.

Hunt: Alright.

Silver: These two are evidence evolution works in reverse.

Aaron sits back down.

Wes: Do you actually believe they stand a chance?

Aaron: I think they can win.

Wes: Pfft, they don’t stand a chance. I trained with these guys during the summer, they made improvements, but they’re not doing anything against Silver.

Aaron: Nah, they got this. You’re just stupid.

Wes: Aaron, I’ll bet you anything they’ll lose.

Aaron: You’ll ask Verity out on a date and tell her you’re into pegging?

Wes: Gladly.

Aaron: Ha! Deal!

Isaiah and Demetri slowly get up.

Isaiah: I think we still have time to forfeit.

Demetri: Yeah, let’s-

Hunt: It’s time to see what terrain you’ll be fighting in.

The screen starts randomizing through locations.

Isaiah and Demetri: I- I- I-

Aster laughs.

Aster: I’ll never understand why you picked those two, Yul, let alone first.

Yul: There’s power in compatibility, Aster. When the weak combine forces, they can take down the mighty.

Aster: Yeah, but we’re not just talking about any standard form of weakness. Since the beginning of their first year, these two have graded out in their class’ bottom five. Even if they graduate, they’re destined for bottom-feeder careers.

Yul: Yes, as individuals, but as one unit, I think they can find success.

Aster’s eyes widen.

Aster: Yul, are you saying what I think you’re saying?

Yul: Just sit back and watch, my friend.

The screen continues randomizing.

Demetri: (Please… something with many places to hide.)

Isaiah: (Someplace safe…)

The screen stops on a flat grassy plain.

Isaiah and Demetri: I- I- I-

Silver: That’s fine.

A blinding light blares. Isaiah, Demetri, and Silver suddenly find themselves on a flat grassy plain.

Silver: Welcome to Windows Vista, I guess.

Silver pops open five of his dust canisters.

Silver: I’ll try to make this quick and painless.

Isaiah and Demetri gulp.

Silver: (Last time I fought like this was against Hayze. I lost because I underestimated him, and while these two definitely don’t have the inner potential he had, I can’t make that same mistake again.)

Silver streams all of the dust in his five canisters into a massive mound above his head.

Silver: I’m going to finish you both in a single move. I’m sorry it has to be this way, but I refuse to lose in the first round again.

The mound levitates 30 yards over Isaiah and Demetri.

Isaiah: Any ideas?

Demetri: I’m fresh out!

Silver quickly descends the mound.

Silver: Silverclad Barrage: Avalanche!

The mound crashes down upon Isaiah and Demetri.

Silver: *nasal grunt*

Wes turns to Aaron.

Wes: You really thought they stood a chance, huh?

Saige: It’s not over, Wes.

Wes: Huh?

Blair: The battle only ends when the terrain reverts to normal.

Wes: Wait, so they’re still conscious under that thing?

Silver stares at the mound.

Silver: (How? No matter, I’ll just do this instead.)

Silver streams the mound into spheres hovering in the air.

Silver: Two Quicksilver Prisons.

A minute passes of nothing happening.

Wes: They can’t seriously be breathing in there, right?

Saige: No… something is off.

Silver looks back and forth at the prisons.

Silver: (What’s going on? I’m sure those are airtight.)

Silver flashes back to using Quicksilver Prison and Avalanche against Justus.

Silver: (I defeated Justus with these attacks, how are these two still standing?)

Silver thinks for a moment.

Silver: (Screw it, I have to find out!)

Silver releases the prisons. The dust falls to the ground like a waterfall. Isaiah and Demetri are nowhere to be seen.

Silver: What!

Everyone is shocked.

Eve: Where are they?

Saige: I don’t know.

Silver looks around the plain frantically.

Silver: (How could they have escaped and left my vision! I should have been able to see them running away!)

Beneath the mound of dust underneath the ground, Isaiah and Demetri are hiding in a cylindrical cubby hole.

Demetri: That was pretty quick thinking on your part.

Isaiah: You too.

As Silver’s dust mound began crashing down upon Isaiah and Demetri. Isaiah used his death glare to cut a circle in the dirt. Demetri then used his strings to hoist the dirt ring out of the ground creating a hole that both jumped into. Demetri then replaced the soil to make it seem like they had disappeared.

Demetri: We’re lucky Silver didn’t see us because of how the silver dust descended upon us, it was like a dome, and the darkness concealed us further.

Isaiah: Yeah, but it won’t be long before he figures it out.

Demetri: True…

Isaiah and Demetri sit in silence for a few moments.

Isaiah: We don’t stand a chance.

Demetri: I’m aware.

Isaiah: But maybe if we do what Yul-

Demetri: No! I’m not doing that! That guy’s a fucking kook!

Isaiah: It’s the only thing we can do, Demetri!

Demetri: No way! If I’m going to lose, I’m doing it on my terms! I’m not partaking in some stupid experiment! And what if it doesn’t work? We’ll just embarrass ourselves!

Isaiah: That’s a risk we have to take-

Suddenly the dirt covering their hole is removed. Silver looks down upon them.

Isaiah: Oh no…

Silver: There you are!

Isaiah fires a death beam at Silver, but he dodges by leaping backward. Demetri uses his strings to hoist himself and Isaiah out of the hole.

Silver: That was a creative escape plan you had, but now we’re back to square one.

Demetri: Oh yeah? Well, take this!

Demetri uses his strings to grab the mound of dirt they used to cover their hidey-hole and chucks it at Silver.

Silver: Really?

Silver creates a massive wrist blade from liquid silver and slices the mound in half.

Isaiah: Well, that was effective…

Demetri: Shut up!

Silver creates a second wrist blade on his other arm.

Silver: (Both of them are ranged combat “specialists.” So perhaps a more frontal assault is in order.)

Silver charges at Isaiah and Demetri.

Isaiah: He’s coming! What do we do!

Demetri: I… Uh…

Isaiah: Demetri!

Demetri launches his strings at Silver, but Silver dodges and weaves past them while cutting the threads.

Demetri: Well, that’s all I got.

Isaiah: Oh, come on! Death Beam!

Isaiah fires a Death Beam at Silver, but Silver dodges it.

Demetri: Great idea, dumbass.

Isaiah: It was better than yours!

Demetri: No, it wasn’t!

Silver stabs one wrist blade through Demetri’s shoulder and the other through Isaiah’s stomach. Both of them are stunned.

Silver: Maybe you should have tried dodging instead of arguing and hoping the other person has a plan.

Silver rips the blooded blades from their bodies.

Isaiah: I- I- *groans*

Isaiah keels over and bleeds on the ground.

Demetri: Damn it…

Demetri falls to his knees, holding his shoulder.

Silver: I stabbed you both in different spots to showcase my attacks’ precision to the judges. Isaiah, I avoided all of your vital organs. I know this is a serious match, but I don’t see the need to damage your body to that degree. Demetri, I severed your trapezius and deltoid muscles. As a result, you won’t be moving your right arm for the rest of this match.

Demetri: *frustrated grunt* Damn you!

Demetri attempts to punch Silver with his left arm. Silver takes the punch and doesn’t flinch at all.

Demetri: What?

Silver: Demetri, you’re right-handed. So a punch from your left arm couldn’t hurt a schoolgirl.

Demetri: *grunts*

Silver whips Demetri upside the head with the broadside of his wrist blade. Demetri gets sent tumbling away.

Demetri: *groans*

Silver looks at Isaiah as his blood continues to pool.

Silver: (He won’t be much of a problem, I’ll just finish off Demetri now.)

Silver begins walking toward Demetri.

Blair: Silver’s really out for blood on this one.

Saige: Yeah, I’d say he’s learned his lesson from losing to Hayze a little too well. This is overkill.

Wes: *to Aaron* And you thought they stood a chance.

Aaron: Give it time.

Demetri slowly starts getting up.

Demetri: I’m not done yet…

Silver molds his wrist blades into silver gauntlets.

Silver: I wouldn’t recommend that.

Silver punches Demetri in the jaw, knocking out six teeth.

Demetri: AHHHH!

Silver punches Demetri in the chest, and he pukes up a ton of blood.

Demetri: AHH *groans*

Silver punches Demetri three more times before spin-kicking him into the ground.

Demetri: *groans*

Silver: Are you done now?

Demetri: N… no-

Silver punches Demetri in the balls.

Demetri: *squeals*

Demetri holds his crotch writhing in pain on the ground.

Demetri: *high pitched* I think I heard a pop!

Silver: How about now?

Demetri: *high pitched* Maybe…

Silver punches his own palm.

Silver: Not good enough.

Silver winds back a punch.

Demetri: *high pitched* Oh god…

Suddenly, Silver gets blasted in the back.

Silver: AH!

Silver staggers forward and is stunned.

Isaiah: Deme...tri!

Demetri: Huh?

Isaiah managed to fire off a death beam from his position. He looks pale from massive blood loss.

Isaiah: It’s now… or never! We have to use them!

Demetri: *groans*

Isaiah: Do you want to win… or not?

Demetri looks at Silver. His back is burnt, but due to Isaiah’s condition, his death beam was weakened. Silver is slowly regaining his composure.

Demetri: Dammit, fine!

Demetri reaches into his pocket and pulls out a clear canister with a shining blue substance inside it. Isaiah goes into his pocket and pulls out the same canister with a glowing pink substance.

Aster: Are you serious?

Yul: It took years, but the Support Class finally created them: Energy Containment Jars.

Aster: Does it work?

Yul: We’re about to find out.

A flashback begins. Yul, Zach, Demetri, and Isaiah are gathered in one of the U.A. training facilities.

Zach: What are we going over today, Yul?

Yul: Something special, but I can’t help but notice only half of us are here.

Zach: Jace is… he needs some time after what happened in the prison exercise.

Yul: Understandable. What about Wes and Aaron?

Aaron: *from afar* I’m here, I’m here.

Aaron joins the group.

Yul: Where were you?

Aaron: Doing my own training, you know, productive stuff.

Yul: Are you saying this isn’t productive?

Aaron: Do I need to spell it out?

Yul: Where is Wes?

Aaron: Oh, I think he’s sick.

Zach: Wes is sick? How?

Aaron: Someone put a used tissue in his mouth while he was sleeping.

All of them stare at Aaron.

Yul: Anyway, I think you’ll enjoy what I have to teach you today.

Yul pulls out an empty toilet paper roll and an apple.

Demetri: Are- are we supposed to guess?

Isaiah: Bobbing for apples?

Demetri: I was joking, dumbass.

Isaiah: I think I’m close!

Yul smiles.

Yul: I’ll be showing you my quirk.

All of them are intrigued.

Zach: (I’ve been wondering what kind of power the number #2 student at U.A. could have. If it’s anything like Aster’s, it could be a real treat to see in action!)

Yul’s left hand starts glowing blue while his right hand starts shining pink.

Yul: Let’s go! Fuse!

Yul slams the toilet paper roll and apple together as a blinding light blares.

Aaron: (What is this?)

The light subsides.

Zach, Demetri, Isaiah, and Aaron: Woah…

Yul is holding a massive empty toilet paper roll in the shape of a bazooka.

Yul: Applezooka!

Yul fires a barrage of apples at Isaiah and Demetri from his new blaster.

Isaiah and Demetri: AHHHH!

Zach is amazed.

Zach: Woah! Your ability lets you fuse things together!

Yul: Precisely, Zach. My quirk is called: Polymerization. I can fuse any two items together for 1 hour.

Zach: That’s awesome.

Aaron: Do you control the outcome of the fusion?

Yul: Yes, as long as the items fit the parameters of the fused item.

Aaron: And it only makes weapons?

Yul: Yes, and also tools. I can have up to three fused items active at once.

Aaron: Interesting; I assume your allies can use the items.

Yul: Of course.

Yul tosses Aaron the Applezooka.

Aaron: Now I wish Wes was here.

Yul: I’m sure you can now figure out why I drafted the team the way I did.

Aaron thinks for a moment, then realizes.

Aaron: Wait a second… Can you fuse… people?

Yul: Yes, I can.

Zach and Isaiah: That’s awesome!

Demetri: And weird…

Yul: The fusions only last for 30 minutes, but the fused warrior will have the two fighters’ combined strength multiplied many times. They’ll possess a quirk that’s a merged version of their two quirks.

Aaron: I see… so you drafted us in pairs so that we could eventually learn how to fight as fused forms.

Yul: Yes, but we must train for a while before we can reach that point. The pairs are apparent, but I’ll say them anyway: Aaron and Wes, Jace and Zach, and Isaiah and Demetri.

Demetri is disgusted.

Demetri: I’m not fusing bodies with anyone!

Isaiah: Hey!

Demetri: I said anyone, not just you. That’s bogus, man. I want to fight with my own power!

Yul: And look how far that’s gotten you.

Demetri: *grunts*

Yul: My quirk could make you stronger than any member of your class.

Demetri scoffs.

Demetri: I can do that myself.

Aaron laughs.

Aaron: Even I’m intrigued by this, and I’m much more powerful than you, Demetri. Fusing with a weakling like Wes is perfect. I’ll receive a minuscule power boost that could win me any match.

Demetri: *grunts*

Yul pulls out two clear canisters.

Yul: These jars were designed by the third-year support class, and they can hold my fusion energy. When you are in combat and want to fuse, open the jars simultaneously.

Yul’s hands glow with their respective blue and pink energies. He opens the canisters and fills the jars.

Yul: I only have the two jars, so the only pair here will receive them.

Yul hands the pink jar to Isaiah and the blue one to Demetri.

Yul: Hold on to them until the time is right.

Isaiah takes his.

Isaiah: Okay, Yul.

Demetri is reluctant.

Isaiah: There’s no harm in just having it, Demetri.

Demetri: *grunts* fine.

Demetri takes his jar.

Yul: Good, I hope these will help you.

The flashback ends.

Yul: (This couldn’t have worked out more perfectly.)

Demetri opens his jar, and Isaiah opens his. The energies shoot out and surround each of them.

Demetri: (Woah…)

Isaiah: (This is…)

Suddenly, Isaiah and Demetri quickly begin levitating toward each other.

Silver: (Huh?)

Every one of the spectators is confused.

Saige: What’s going on?

Blair: What was that stuff?

Aaron: Awesome!

Isaiah and Demetri collide in a blinding light.

Isaiah and Demetri: Oh yeah!

Silver is blinded.

Silver: What is this?

The light subsides. Everyone is shocked.

Silver: Huh?

Standing where Isaiah and Demetri collided is a single person. He has Demetri’s hair and eyes, Isaiah’s head shape and nose, a mix of their skin colors, and a blend of their clothes. When he speaks, his voice is an overlap of Isaiah's and Demetri’s.

Isetri: Now, this is cool.

Silver: Wh- what is this?

Isetri: I’m the fused form of Isaiah and Demetri, but you can call me Isetri. Divided, we may not have stood a chance against you apart, but together, that’s another story.

Silver: F- fusion?

Wes slowly turns to Aaron.

Wes: Y- you knew… didn’t you?

Aaron slaps Wes on the back.

Aaron: Better pick out your favorite restaurant… and strap on.

Silver stands tall.

Silver: No matter, I’ll defeat you anyway.

Isetri: I wouldn’t count on that.

Isetri’s eyes glow red. Silver punches himself in the stomach and pukes up blood as he falls to his hands and knees.

Silver: *groans* What the fuck?

Isetri laughs.

Isetri: This fight is mine now, Silver!

Isetri bursts towards Silver.

Silver: (This speed!)

Isetri kicks Silver in the head, sending him flying back.

Isetri: Yul was right. I am stronger than you!

Silver: Yeah, right!

Silver grounds his feet. A shadow shrouds Isetri; he looks over his shoulder to see a massive wave of silver dust approaching him.

Silver: Silver Tsunami: Drowning Tides!

Isetri looks at Silver; His eyes glow red. The wave suddenly flops.

Silver: Huh? Wh- how!

Isetri points down. Silver looks down to see his foot is elevated off the ground.

Silver: Wh- what?

Isetri laughs.

Isetri: My quirk is called Ocular Puppetry! I can control the movement of anything I see. It’s the fused form of Isaiah and Demetri’s quirks.

Isetri bursts toward Silver and gets in his face.

Isetri: Now then, I think it’s time for some fun!

Isetri begins forcing Silver to punch himself repeatedly all around his body.

Blair: This is insane!

Saige: They might just be stronger than Silver now!

Eve: I can’t believe I’m actually impressed by those two!

Wes gulps.

Isetri: Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?

Isetri punches Silver directly in the chest.

Silver: AHHHH!

Silver lies against the grass, battered and beaten. Isetri stands over him.

Isetri: So this is what power feels like! It’s awesome!

Isetri laughs.

Silver: *frustrated grunt*

Silver attempts to kick Isetri in the crotch, but Isetri stops his leg in mid-motion.

Isetri: Nope, that’s not happening!

Isetri bends Silver’s leg forward, dislocating his kneecap.

Silver: AHHHH!

Isetri laughs again.

Isetri: You’re my little puppet, Silver! So, let’s put on a show!

Isetri forces Silver to stand up and start walking.

Silver: *pained grunts*

Isetri continues laughing.

Daniele: This is pretty sadistic.

Yul: The fused form of two people carries a combined personality. Isetri has Demetri’s arrogance and entitlement with Isaiah’s quick thinking. Plus, this is the first time they’ve ever dominated an opponent, so I’m sure that’s exacerbating their sadism.

Silver continues walking through Isetri’s quirk.

Silver: (Dammit!)

Isetri: I could finish you off at any point, but why should I? I’m having fun!

Silver is forced to punch his own crotch.

Silver: AHH!

Isetri: You’re going to have to walk that off.

Silver continues walking while in severe pain.

Eve: How do you even combat this? He has no control of his own body!

Blair: He can’t use his silver dust while they’re forcing him to walk.

Saige: And he can’t use any of his liquid silver under their control!

Wes is sweating bullets.

Aaron: Something wrong, Wes?

Wes: I’ve made a terrible mistake.

Isetri makes Silver stop.

Isetri: Now kneel before your god!

Silver kneels on his broken kneecap.

Silver: AHHH! FUCK!

Isetri: Now beg more mercy!

Silver bows his head to Isetri.

Isetri: Beg!

Silver is silent.

Isetri: I said beg!

Isetri twists Silver’s right wrist until it pops out of place.

Silver: AHHHH!

Isetri: You’d better start begging! Otherwise, your left wrist is going to go through the same thing!

Silver: *frustrated grunt*

Isetri holds up five fingers.

Isetri: I’ll give you five seconds.

Isetri starts counting down with his fingers.

Silver: (Dammit! I can’t believe I’m going to lose in the first round again! And to Isaiah and Demetri of all people! At least when I lost to Hayze, I grew from it. This… I don’t even know what to say! FUCK!)

“ Hayze: 1st rule of strategy, The first move is always a fake. “

“ Hayze: 2nd rule of strategy, always have an out. “

“ Hayze: 3rd rule of strategy, always have an ace in the hole. “

Isetri: One. Last chance, Silver!

Silver stays silent.

“ Isetri: My quirk is called Ocular Puppetry! I can control the movement of anything I see. It’s the fused form of Isaiah and Demetri’s quirks. “

Silver: (If their quirks and personalities are seemingly combined. Does that mean…)

Isetri: YOU ASKED FOR IT!

Isetri’s eyes glow red.

Silver: Stop!

Isetri: Huh?

Silver: Before you end this, I just have one question to ask you now that you’re so much more powerful than me.

Isetri smiles.

Isetri: Normally, I wouldn’t, but because you asked so politely, I’ll allow it.

Silver: Your quirk… it allows you to do anything with a person’s body… right?

Isetri: Y- yeah…

Silver: Oh man, then it’s a good thing I’m not a girl. You’d probably have me groping my breasts or doing other unspeakable actions. Haha, right?

Isetri is in deep thought.

Isetri: Yeah… right…

Silver: Something wrong?

Isetri slowly starts looking at the spectators’ seats.

Eve: DON’T YOU LOOK OVER HERE!

Isetri: I’m not…

Silver: (He broke eye contact!)

Silver unleashes his final canister of silver dust.

Isetri: Oh shit!

The dust slams into Isetri and propels him away.

Silver: (That’s the 3rd.)

Isetri lands and looks pissed.

Isetri: Alright, now I’m twisting your dick off!

Isetri’s eyes glow red.

Isetri: You’re going d-

Silver: Look! Eve is flashing the crowd.

Isetri: WHERE!

Isetri turns around to look.

Silver: (My theory was correct, all of their strengths were combined to make an ultimate fighter, but that also means their weaknesses are combined! Isaiah and Demetri are both perverts, so when you add that together, you get a super pervert! That’s the 2nd!)

Silver channels all of his silver together into a massive mound above Isetri.

Isetri: Huh?

Silver: Silverclad Barrage: Avalanche!

Silver quickly crashes the mound down upon Isetri.

Isetri: I’ve already dodged this once before!

Isetri looks down at the ground. His eyes glow red as he levitates a chunk of dirt from the ground.

Isetri: (If he tries to get me from inside this hole, I’ll just look at him and break his n-)

Suddenly a blade stabs through Isetri’s chest.

Isetri: I- I- I-

Isetri looks over his shoulder to see Silver. He stabbed his massive wrist blade into Isetri. Isetri looks up to see the avalanche has stopped.

Silver: (That’s the 1st.)

Isetri: You- you ran over here with a broken kneecap?

Silver: Pain is temporary. Victory is eternal.

Isetri falls to the ground, unconscious. The arena reverts to normal.

Hunt: The winner is Ryne Verdugo.

Wes breathes a sigh of relief.

Wes: Thank you… Silver.

Aaron: Damn! Better luck next time!

Wes: FUCK YOU!

Silver passes out as medics come out with two stretchers.

Medic: *whispering to Hunt* What do you want us to do with these two?

Hunt: *whispering* Wait for them to defuse, then put them in.

Medic: Yessir.

Isetri and Silver are taken to their respective medical wings.

Hunt: Alright, let’s begin the final match of the first round.

Wes tenses up.

Wes: (Oh god…)
