## Summary

Levius recognizes the logo as the one he had seen during the war in Green Bridge. Bill explains its Amethyst, a private military company that's involved in lots of things and its still unknown if they are "good" or "bad" guys. The fourth round doesn't go much better than the third, but Hugo tells his father to not throw the towel. In the fifth round, Hugo focuses on attacking and forgets to guard himself and get easily downed by A.J.. While on the ground, Hugo starts seeing Jones and tries to get up for him. He apologizes for not going to his funeral or his grave, but he wants to meet him only after he gets on the top, and when he do, he wanted to say he did it because of him and that way his life's work would have been worth it. Hugo manages to stand and continue fighting. Zacks and Levius both agree Hugo is amazing and Zacks shares his desire that Levius to face him.

Hugo comes out for the final sixth round and gives his best, managing to land his signature move breaking the face protector, but busting his hand. Levius then notices that for the first time in the match, A.J. rhythm changed and is going for a kill. A.J. starts attacking Hugo without mercy and Hugo's father and the referee try to stop the fight, but A.J. continues. As she was about to deliver the final blow, Levius steps on the ring and hits her, telling her the fight is over. Her helmet completely breaks and Levius sees its a girl, and even more the girl that was taken by a machine in Green Bridge. A.J. then attacks Levius, sending him out of the ring.

The fight between Hugo and A.J. shocks the world and the speculation is that A.J. will be replacing Hugo in the promotion fight with Levius. Raymond visits Levius' place and asks Bill for medical help in saving Hugo and Bill accepts. As Hugo's condition is critical, Zacks receives a call that the promotion fight will be between Levius and A.J. Levius wants to go to A.J.'s gym, but they receive a call from Raymond. When they go, Bill tells them the operation was success and they go meet Hugo. He is no longer in danger, but his condition is bad. He tells Levius he feels like a clown as he got beat badly by a low-ranker and another low-ranker saved his life. He gives Levius advice about A.J., explaining that she is hard, and not because of the armor, but likely of her steam. Levius gives him a piece of Hugo's armor and tells him that he watched all of Jones fights and they fight the same, but his signature move is better than Jones'. Before leaving, Hugo tells Levius to wait for him in the ring.

Outside, Raymond tells Levius he can take him to A.J., Zacks is against it, but Levius explains he had seen A.J. during the war and she was taken by mechanized soldier. Bill and Raymond comment that Amethyst supposedly joined the war to help orphaned children, but seems they took advantage of the confusion and kidnapped them. Levius also reveals that the other day, before A.J. hit him, she asked him to help her. Because of that, Levius wants to know what she meant with those words. Zacks agrees only if Levius agrees there won't be a promotion bout and Levius accepts.
