At the old factory where Leo and Blade are, the surrounding is tense and the pressure is on for Leo on how he would come out unscathed in this predicament. With Blade as the leader and his trusted first executive, with their roughly 150 members or so, Leo knew that there was no way for him to survive this. But Leo isn't the person to just back out from a fight no matter who and how many he would face, he is not the type to not put up a fight despite the disadvantages.
And so, by Blade's command as he raises his hand, all the gang members in Riverdale school attack Leo, shouting and screaming towards him. All unfolds while Blade and the two accompanying him watch and smile looking down below at the spectacle. Leo, on the other hand, was punching and kicking anyone that came within his reach, Leo's fighting style was also quite special since he was born. Apart from having an immense talent and strength above the average person, his fighting style is somewhat rough and driven by craziness much like a madman that would do anything and everything in an unconventional way just to win, and would use anything necessary in the surroundings to survive. Be it biting, choking someone using a wire, gouging eyes, putting the fingers in the nose, anything just to survive and win.
That was Leo's fighting style, rough and tailor made for someone that grew up on the street of chaos. There was a martial art of some sort that resembles Leo's way of fighting, ‘Kino Mutai’ (Kina Mutai) is a Philippines martial art that uses unconventional tactics such as biting and eye-gouging.
A hundred and fifty members or so was now down to only a hundred and twenty within the span of only 3 minutes. Blade applauds Leo's determination, seeing that he doesn't even break a sweat taking down thirty gang members of his school.
“As expected of the sole leader that rules the North Street with an iron hand, you did not disappoint me.” Said Blade, while in awe of Leo's performance, “But I wonder how long can you last? Entertained me more Mad Lion!!” Blade shouted.
And another batch of members rushed in to suppress Leo, some even go as far as to hold his thighs and arms, but Leo just brushes them off, kicking their balls, headbutting, biting, even using a person as a weapon and swinging them to someone who's advancing. He punches, kicks, bites, swings, gouges, chops their throats, anything that would deal a significant amount of damage or possibly kill them. Another 5 person jumps at him trying to hold him down for someone that has a bat to smack his face, but Leo kicked the two that jumped at him, headbutt the one in the middle and grappled the faces of the two in the left and right hand, and uses it as a shield for the incoming bat to his face and body, and after that throw them at the person who just swung the bat at him. The scene was like a massacre, with blood splashing everywhere and screams of someone who's in so much pain, Leo right now was like a demon to them, a demon that would do anything no matter what in order for it to survive. The look on Leo's face right now is neither afraid or that of a coward, but of someone who's excited to devour anyone that'll block its way.
“Aaa-a demon!!” Shouted by the member, as Leo grappled his face and wringed it unconscious using only his sheer strength.
Piles of unconscious bodies everywhere with Leo on top, the one hundred fifty members were now down to a hundred. Though Leo now was in so much excitement and in so much adrenaline, he couldn't hide the fatigue and the damages accumulated from the fight, it was miniscule but as it stacked up it would become a hindrance for him to continue and win this fight later on. Blade saw that Leo is now somewhere at his limits, so right now all he has to do is wait patiently and reap the benefits. Blade could not also hide his excitement over the fact that he would soon become the leader of the mad lion on the north street, the thought of it gave him pleasure imagining the heights of something he couldn't achieve in his past. But now he's thinking that it is all within his grasp, as long as they will defeat Leo now the members of the mad lion would surely follow him.
As mentioned earlier, Leo became the leader of the mad lion solely by his strength, Leo basically forced his way up and used his fist, ruling them with an iron fist, that's how he became the leader by beating everyone of the members. What the mad lion felt towards Leo was not loyalty, but fear, fear of someone who is so overwhelmingly strong, much like that of a lion standing on top of everyone using its might, and when that lion is incapable of inducing fear to its followers, then the followers are bound to stab it in its back, betrayal. A jungle, survival of the fittest, that's the place the north street truly was, where Leo did everything he could to survive and stand on top of it beneath everyone.
And the scene that Leo's currently in now, with unconscious body and blood everywhere and him on top, was much like that day on the north street where he conquered the mad lion.
“Well done, Leo! You're truly fitting for the epithet ‘Crazy Lion' now that I witnessed it myself.” Blade shouted, smirking at Leo's below, “Though you are overwhelmingly strong, the fatigue and damage accumulated by now is taking a toll on your body. So how about you surrender and I promise to make you my right hand man?”
“Dream on, fucker!” Said Leo in disgust and gave Blade the middle finger.
“Don't be too rush to decline my offer, listen carefully as you would also benefit from it. The school that you're in now is probably razed to the ground by my other executives and members, so what's your point in continuing this anymore? The school and your executives are all lying on the ground right now, so you don't have the force to back you up anymore.” Said Blade, “While me, I have the power to help you on whatever you'd like to do, stop limiting yourself by integrating yourself to a bunch of fodders.”
“Say what you want, besides you don't know what I wanted to do, and being with you my goal and purpose would probably be harder to reach than it is now.” Replied Leo.
“And what about now? You don't even have the school anymore to back you up, and the mad lion members, I heard that you don't have a good relationship with them. It's not too late to take my hand Leo, be with me and accompany me to reach new heights, with your strength and my brain there's no one who could possibly stop us!!” Said Blade, in a convincing manner trying to incorporate Leo in his side.
Leo just looked at Blade above wearing a confident look on his face saying, “You think so? There's a monster in that school, by now, your executives is probably the one lying on the ground.” Replied Leo, “In fact I should thank you, you gave that person a purpose again to use his fist, and with him we will razed everyone that will block our path. And you should be glad that you are the first school we will destroy, in his debut.”
Be it at the old factory or at the campus, two monsters are now being made, finally starting their journey on devouring everything on its path. Blade doesn't seem to get the weight of Leo's word and treats it as nonsense. Unbeknownst to them, that those two monsters would be the one who would leave them in ruins and will shake the 5 schools to its core, to the 4 gang's, 4 kings, 2 geniuses, and the one person that is on top of all of them, has been patiently waiting for the two monsters that was born in the depth of the jungle.
