Time skip, June 2013 (roughly 9 months):
Eren POV:
Eren: "AHHHHHHH! Fuck my leg, my leg, my FUCKING LEG!"
Paramedic: "We're doing as much as we ca-"
Eren: "That piece of shit, I'll kill him- AHHHHHH! SHIT. I'm dying!"
25 minutes earlier:
Levi: "Alright Eren, this is big. No one has done this except me, because I'm a fucking badass. 4 years 4 titles. The final, Paradis National title. You've got this kid. I've seen your blood, sweat and tears. This guy beat you before, but you're gonna shock the world. Go in there and teach that bald prick Shadis that he should never have let you go!"
Eren: :"YEAHHHH!"
Levi: "Teach every one of those motherfuckers in the crowd that THE WARHAMMER WILL NEVER STAY DOWN!"
Eren: "I'll show 'em. I'll fucking SHOW THEMMM!"
Levi: "That's what we like to hear, now knock his fucking head off!"
Eren: "I'll knock his head off and FUCK THE NECK HOLE!"
Levi: "... Woah kid, bit far"
5 minutes later:
Announcer: "And now, we have the blood match. The underdog, versus the perfect fighter. Max Payne, 130-0-0 with 129 knockouts. He holds records in just about everything. Versus the underdog, the executioner, the man that overcomes every challenge in front of him, the MONSTER! EREN 'THE WARHAMMER' JAEGERRRRRR! With a record of 62-5-1 with 54 spectacular knock outs!"
Announcer: "Tonight ladies and gentlemen, we have a man who has never been defeated, a man who has become the perfect fighter. Future champion and future Hall of famer. Versus an absolute machine who moves mountains to achieve his goals, a beast inside and outside of the ring, he's the 105/1 underdog for tonight but will that stop him?"
Announcer: "In the blue corner we have, the reigning... and defending champion... MAX PAYYYYYYYNE! At a height of 5 feet and 10 inches, weighing in at 10st 0lbs (140lbs) (63.6kg). Standing with his head trainer Keith Shadis!"
Announcer: "And in the red corner we have the challenger, reigning Southern champion... Eren 'The Warhammer' Jaeger! At a height of 5 feet and 7 inches, weighing in at 9st 13lbs (139lbs) (63.2kg). Standing with his head trainer Levi 'Mr Cleannnnnn' Ackerman!"
Announcer: "The fighters are in the ring and we're all ready for a show down between these two champions. A blood boiling hate between the two. Now, let's get ready to rumbllllllllllllle!"
The stadium explodes with cheers, screams, fireworks and horns
I walk up to the PRICK in the middle of the ring
Max: "Its pain time" (he mutters threateningly)
Eren: "I'll kill you and then fuck your mother... straight up the ass"
He then launched at me, tackling me over
I elbowed the top of his head and put him in a rear naked choke hold
Eren: "I'll kill you!"
The screams became louder as I was pulled off Max
Ref: "None of that shit or I'll stop the fight and call it a no contest understood?!. Right, both of your trunks are fine, don't bother touching gloves. Any funny shit and I'll personally fuck you both up" (he threatened)
We both nodded and walked backwards to our corners, not breaking eye contact
Levi: "Rough him up kid. You've got the power"
I grit down on my gumshield and nodded
DING. DING. DING.
Max jogged towards me
I let out my jab and he slipped it
He replied with an overhand right which I ducked and threw a warhammer strike
He leaned back ready to hit me with a counter cross which I dodged and threw a left hook in response
He ducked the hook and went for an uppercut that I jumped backwards to avoid
He came towards me again, throwing a big overhand right that I side stepped
I went to throw a left hook but he leaned back just back in time and hit me with a cross to the lips
I instantly lost my shit and ran forward, balls to the wall
I went for a hook, an overhand, both missing
I then ducked an attack from him and hit him with the warhammer
His body raised 3 inches off the ground but he landed, relatively fine
He went for a jab that I slipped
I went for a double liver shot but he blocked them with his forearm
Replying with a cross to my nose
I hit him with an overhand left
We both separated and stared each other down
He faked a jab but I knew it was a fake
I then switched to orthodox quickly, jabbed him in the face and reverted back to southpaw
Hitting him with three warhammers to the chin
He stumbled backwards until-
DING.DING.DING
The round was over
I walked out and sat down next to Levi
Levi: "It's close, but you're edging it"
Levi: "He's quick so keep an eye on him at all times and don't overthink your actions" (he advised)
Eren: "Got it"
Levi: "Now give his mother something to mourn"
I nodded and smashed my fists together
We met in the middle of the ring again
I ran forward towards him
Before he could even register me coming I unleashed my true power
Jab, cross, hook, hook, overhand, uppercut, warhammer, warhammer, warhammer, hook, overhand, cross, hook, warhammer
He looked like he was about to flop to the floor until-
BOOM.
He hit me with a cross straight to the eye
My vision was blocked with blood
Fuck
I could feel him smacking my head
I shoved him with my chest and hit whatever I could, I punched in all directions, as hard and as fast as I could
About 60% of my shots were hitting and the crowd was getting louder
Levi POV:
He's fucking doing it
Eren POV:
I couldn't see anything but I knew I was winning
3rd person POV:
We see Eren going Levi rage mode on Max
Max is stumbling backwards
He hits the ropes, grabbing onto them for support
As Eren is about to land the final blow-
DING.DING.DING
Eren POV:
As I was walking off I felt a foot kick the back of my leg-
Eren: "Fuck"
I fell down, feeling my hamstring pull
Shit
Ref: "DO THAT AGAIN AND ITS A POINT DEDUCTION. GOT IT!"
Max: "Tch. Whatever"
Ref: "Jaeger, you good?"
I struggled to my feet
Eren: "Yes sir"
He leaned towards my ear
Ref: "Good. Fuck him up" (he whispered)
I nodded and limped to my corner
Holding the back of my leg, I sat down on the stool
Levi: "That slippery bastard. Boris! Put a bandage around his leg and sort out his eye" (Levi ordered)
I then suddenly felt a thick bandage being tied tightly around my thigh and hamstring
My vision was then restored as water was splashed in my face and the blood was wiped away
Vaseline was put on my cut and the bleeding was slowed
Levi: "You're up on the cards, all you've gotta do is survive this round and the title is yours!"
Eren: "Yes Si- what the fuck?"
Shadis: "Oops, dropped the water bottle"
Shadis had come over in the middle of us talking to pick up a water bottle that had rolled over-
Levi: "Fuck off baldy, stop listening to our tactics"
Shadis then grinned evilly at both of us and walked off
DING.DING.DING
3rd person POV:
We then see the two boys get up from their stools
Max looks fine except for the masses of blood and redness covering his body
Eren slowly limps over to the middle of the ring
The round goes on with Max controlling the ring
Eren dodges about half of Max's shots, replying with his own half of the time, but only landing a quarter of his shots
For every 10 shots Max landed, Eren landed 1 or 2
30 seconds left in the round
20 seconds
15 seconds
We see Max hit Eren with a hard overhand right which causes Eren to stumble backwards
It doesn't look like a knock down until-
Eren slips in the corner of the ring, about to fall over
We then see Max lose his footing as well, in the process, sweeping Eren's bad leg from underneath him
Eren lands with a thud and a huge cry
Whilst his leg lays bent and hurt by the ropes of the ring, Max slips again, resulting in his foot stomping on Eren's
The ankle was on the canvas whilst the foot was floating off of it
This causes Eren to further scream and an unsettling series of cracks and clicks to be heard
Eren POV:
Eren: "AHHHHHHHH!"
Shit my fucking leg
I've gotta get up
Ref: "7,8,9"
I'm up
Theres 5 seconds left of the bout, I've got this
Max rushes towards me and in mid clinch, stamps on my ankle
DING.DING.DING
I then hit the floor of the ring-
Shit my leg
Eren: "Fuck, HELP!"
Paramedics suddenly run into the ring
Eren: "What's wrong with me?HELP, MY FUCKING LEG!"
Paramedic: "You've dislocated your knee, your hamstring is teared and you've broken your ankle" (she informs me)
Paramedic: "We've gotta get you on the stretcher"
Back to current time, Eren has been heaved on the stretcher:
Eren: "AHHHHHHH! Fuck my leg, my leg, my FUCKING LEG!" (I scream at the top of my voice)
Paramedic: "We're doing as much as we ca-"
Eren: "That piece of shit, I'll kill him- AHHHHHH! SHIT. I'm dying!" (I yell at a lung bursting volume)
A few minutes earlier, in the break between round 2 and 3:
Shadis: "Alright kid, they bought it. The water has come out of the bottle and is on the ring, they can't see it. They thought I was copying their tactics"
Shadis: "He's injured, control the ring and make sure he's over there. Make it look like you're slipping too but as long as you're outside of the puddle, you'll be fine. Then sweep the leg and break him"
Max: "Sweep the leg?" (Max stammers, clearly weary of the command)
Shadis: "You fucking heard me didn't you?!"
Max: "Yes Sir"
1 hour later:
We see Eren being escorted back into the ring with a cast covering the whole of his left leg
He's using crutches to support himself, as well as Levi and the cutman both holding onto him
Announcer: "After an eventful evening, this bout has been decided. After 3 rounds of action, we go to the judges scorecards. Judge one calls the bout... 28-28. Judge two calls the bout... 28-28. And judge three calls the bout... 28-28, ending in a majority draw!"
Levi: "WHAT! That wasn't a knock down!" (Levi yells at the judges with pure hatred)
Announcer: "Max Payne retains his Paradis National Title!"
