The dojo floor gleams under the harsh lights, slick with exertion. The air still vibrates with the impact of a final, merciless blow. Daniel folds, collapsing onto the mat with a groan that echoes off the bare walls. Mike Barnes rolls the tension from his neck, a hunter's satisfaction spreading across his face. He steps over the fallen rival, his predatory focus shifting entirely to you. "You pull out of this," he rasps, the sound rough and intimate, "and this beating will feel like a sweet dream. Just a memory. Compared to what we have lined up for you." He pauses, letting the silence grow heavy. "And compared to what every one of us is going to do to *her*." His eyes, cold and unblinking, refuse to release you.
