Josh and William got ready for battle, Langress and Will stood outside their cages, Langress shouted:

"Jason! Don't do this stupid thing, you still can't fight him!"

Josh replied angrily:

"Shut up Dante! This is my decision."

Langress punched the iron bar in anger, Will said:

"Listen to him Jason, please go outside."

At this point their cage had two new gamemodes activated, one was "Extended Cage", six nearby cages merged into the largest one, and "Hell Blood", the surrounding iron bars would burn and they would not be able to run away so they had to fight or die soon from the toxic smoke. Langress said:

"Holy shit! Ok that's new."

Josh looked around the burning cage and thought to himself:

"Not good, I can't stand this temperature."

William looked at Josh and showed anger and hatred in his eyes. Josh started growing wolf claws and said with curiosity and suspicion:

"Now tell me, who are you really?"

Without replying, William immediately raised his left hand, his arm turning into a tree root with a wolf head and extending his arm at Josh. Josh quickly dodged away but the arm suddenly flew back towards him. Josh slid down to dodge and scratched off the wolf's head. William retracted his hand and quickly regrowted a new arm. Josh realized something, he said:

"You... are you from the royal family like me? Only the royal family can use elemental powers, or who are you?"

William replied coldly:

"My real name is William Lymcan, and I am the bastard son of your father, Abram Lymcan."

Josh thought in surprise:

"Impossible."

William continued to throw his arms at Josh, who quickly dodged repeatedly and sliced off the arms. William continued to split his arms into more branches to attack Josh more continuously. Josh was still holding out and didn't want to attack William. Outside, the spectators was cheering wildly for the battle between Josh and William while Langress and Will were nervously watching the match. Langress said:

"Shit, that William is no ordinary man, he can use elemental powers like Josh."

Will replied with confusion:

"What? How?"

Langress said:

"No proof but Josh ran into a very strong guy who countered his ice element. There needs to be a way for Josh to get out of there."

Suddenly behind Langress a lot of guys came out and said:

"Hey shit head, you said you wanted to fight, why not now?"

Langress gets pissed off when bothered, he said angry:

"Fine, put the rest of them in the cage with me too. Thirty, fifty, I'll kill them all!"

They were frightened by Langress's words, Langress continued:

"Will, watch Josh, I'll be right back."

Will nodded and Langress fought all sixty men at once. Will was anxiously watching Josh and William's battle, things were getting worse for Josh. Josh spun around mid-air and kicked the wolf's heads down, then quickly grabbed the wolf heads high in the air and pulled William close to him. Josh said with curiosity:

"How can you be my father's bastard son? He never left the cave."

William replied angrily:

"So he hasn't told him the truth? That bastard kicked my mother out of the kingdom!"

William hit Josh's forehead in the face causing him to back away. Then William threw another kick and Josh's chest sent him shoved into the bars. Josh was burned in the back by fire, so he rushed to get out, heavy burn marks appeared on his back. William quickly launched a wolf head to bite Josh in the stomach, then he lifted him up and slammed him to the ground. Josh spat out blood and said nervously:

"Truth? What is the truth?"

William replied:

"Your father, is not a great or wise king. He raped my mother when she was a maid during the werewolf's estrus! And when he learned that she was pregnant, he banished her from the kingdom so as not to affect his power and title. My mother escaped to the human world and gave birth to me in a dirty zoo. She told me this harsh truth, that I will avenge the royal family. And today, I will kill you!"

William transformed into a werewolf, his werewolf form had brown fur with green back feathers. William turned around and launched the spikes on his back at Josh. Josh hastily transformed into a werewolf and jumped high, the spikes darting through the bars and killing many of the spectators outside, but the others didn't care and continued to cheer. Josh dived and threw a powerful kick at William, who quickly dodged. William lunged forward and rammed Josh into the bars. The sting was so painful, Josh howled in pain. Langress and Will knew something bad had happened. Josh quickly stabbed William in the back causing him to back down, then he stabbed him repeatedly, injuring him. William pressed Josh even harder to break his spine. Josh had to punch William in the face to stun him and release him. Josh landed and breathed heavily from his injuries. William slowly stopped being stunned, he said:

"You bastard!"

William launched more than five wolf heads from his right hand at Josh. Josh quickly launched cold air at them, but the roots absorbed the cold and continued to charge. Josh thought to himself:

"What?"

Josh dodged in time, but the left end bit into Josh's right bicep, it bit so hard that it broke the bones and muscles of his right arm. Josh quickly tore it apart to save himself, but it's harder for him to use his right hand now. William still did not stop but continued to attack without giving Josh a moment to think or rest. Josh thought to himself:

"Not good."

William stretched out his right arm into a large wolf claw and slapped Josh. Josh raised his left hand to stop the attack but was hit hard against the bars and fell to the ground. Josh was losing consciousness from the devastating attacks, he looked at William who was slowly approaching with his right eye because his left eye couldn't be lifted. Josh was so weak that he had to turn back into his human form. William said with hatred:

"You made me like this, a murderer, a man seeking justice and taking revenge on the one who did this. And now I will kill our father's youngest son."

Josh replied:

"Is everything you say true?"

William said coldly:

"I have nothing to deceive you."

William went over and kicked Josh, and Josh continued:

"I can't accept it, my father can't be like that. He's a good man who wants nothing more than a bright future for the werewolves."

William replied angrily:

"So that good guy was willing to banish his bastard son and forget about it? For what? Tell me! My mother died for it."

Josh said:

"I do not know."

William stepped on Josh's chest and pressed down hard as if to crush his chest, he said with furious had reached its climax:

"Are you one of his princes? How weak. Then I can kill all of the royal family, then end my pathetic life."

William pressed harder, causing Josh a lot of pain but couldn't fight back. Learning more dark truths again, Josh was so shocked, he thought:

"So everything I knew, was it all a lie? My father was just a bad guy and rejected his bastard son. Robzin betrayed the kingdom and made me a traitor. What's my purpose in life?"

Suddenly Josh recalled Robzin's advice:

"You must live to see the real humans. You must become more powerful with your rage to survive in this dark world, to kill me as you wish. But it seems that you are still too weak, the weak can do nothing."

Josh exploded his new power, he instantly transformed into a werewolf and unleashed his icy power around and repelled William. The cold air froze the iron rod and put out the fire, the spectators became very cold. Langress now to deal with all of his enemies and covered in blood and guts, he looked over at Josh and said:

"Shit! The concealment has failed."

Josh's whole body released cold air and covered in a thin, thorny layer of ice, the ice spikes sprouted from Josh's back and he howled. Josh transformed into his new form, Ice Werewolf form. William thought in confusion:

"How?! Is that his true power?"

Josh lost consciousness and rushed at William. He then smacked Josh with his giant tree-rooted arms. Josh was pressed hard but he slowly pushed them away and released the cold air. William said arrogantly:

"You can't do anything to me!"

But he felt his hand was very hot, William realized his hand was frostbite. William thought in surprise:

"Impossible? Fire?"

Josh reduced his cold air to more than -150 degrees, a temperature that was too cold and caused frostbite. Josh uses that to burn William's wood and counter him. Josh destroys William's arms and rushes at him. Before William realized what it was, Josh bit his right shoulder and he instantly bit back his neck. Two wild beasts fought fiercely with each other, one lost and the other survived. William unleashed spikes all over his body and pierced Josh's body, but Josh continued to attack. Josh tore William's shoulder and sacrificed a piece of flesh on his neck. Josh immediately threw his right hand forward and pierced William's chest and pulled out his heart. William spat out blood and slowly lost consciousness, he spat blood on Josh's face and said:

"You... Really powerful. But how can a monster like you understand how much I've suffered, am I still a werewolf?"

Josh slowly regained consciousness and realized the mistake he had made, he slowly turned back into a human. William continued:

"I just always wanted to be back in my pack, recognized as a werewolf, I didn't want money or fame. Ughh... *cough* I... just wanted to be back at my real home."

William finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped breathing, Josh knew what evil he had done. Josh pulled his hand away from William's chest and slowly let him lie down. Josh looked like he wanted to cry, he said:

"Rest in peace, brother. You are always welcomed like a werewolf."

Josh then slowly froze William and preserved his body in an ice coffin. He lifted it up and left the cage. The spectators gave way to Josh because they were afraid of the terrible thing he might do next. Langress was out of the cage and worried about Josh, as was Will. Josh shouted in anguish:

"I'm leaving this tournament, all my money goes to Dante and my manager Will."

Langress approached Josh, Josh looked at Langress and they nodded. Will said:

"I'll get a Helicopter of Boss Luca for you, please wait at the rooftop."

Josh nodded and left with William's body. Will asked Langress:

"Who do you think he, William really is?"

Langress replied:

"A werewolf, as he always has been."

Langress and Will looked up at the leaderboard and knew he was in the top 100. Langress said:

"Come on, Will, we'll finish this tournament."

Will replied:

"Okay."

Langress continued:

"And will end it forever."
