(AN: PLEASE READ- Chapter 65 and 64 were published in the wrong order for some reason so a lot of people have skipped chapter 65 as its only on 80 something views. If anybody hasn't seen it, it's called 'Bullets, Bitches and Desperation', give it a read before reading this chapter)

3rd Person POV:

Reporter: "Everyone involved in the kidnapping of Eren Jaeger has now been sentenced to time in jail, effective immediately"

1 week later:

Eren POV:

Levi: "Run, brat" (he said in his usual cold tone)

Eren: *gasp*

Fuck, this mountain never ends

Why would he go over board and fly us out to Mount Everest?

This is my THIRD run up to the top, not to mention I'm carrying all of the bags

Levi: "We need to get you straight back in that ring, Jaeger. You've got a title to defend"

Eren: *gasp* "Y-yes... I know" (I say in exhaustion)

Fight Night:

3rd Person POV:

Announcer: "And first to the ring we have, the number one contender to the Heavyweight title... MAX 'DAMAGE' PAAAAAAAAAYNE!"

The crowd cheers and whistles as Max swaggers towards the ring to the sound of Venom by Eminem

A handsome man wearing all red carries a cardboard Warhammer and a badly made mask of Eren Jaeger, clearly mocking his opponent

This act gets many boos from the Eren Jaeger fandom, The Jaegerists

He continues to swagger and dance, nodding his head to the beat, sheer confidence comes from the man who's only been defeated by the current Heavyweight champion

He walks up to the ropes, climbing over all 3 of them

Announcer: "And next we have... the one... the only onlyyyyy EREN 'THE WARHAMMER' JAEGERRRRREE!"

(AN: Never Going Back by Skillet)

Eren rounds the corner and comes out, leaning back with his arms out wide as he roars into the air as fire explodes behind him, giving the illusion that the fire has come from his throat, like a dragon

He approaches, swinging his Warhammer threateningly as he adjusts his mask

He high fives the members in the crowd as he walks through and up to the ring, Levi at his side nodding to the beat in all black

Eren reaches the judges table, snatches a mic and yells-

Eren: "The Warhammer is back! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
He then jumps over all 4 ropes and lands in front of Max

Eren the continues to square up to him then jogs off, completing a lap of the ring

Announcer: "In the red corner we have, number one challenger, second ranked in the division... Max Payne. Sporting a record of 34 wins and 1 loss with 33 big wins coming by way of knockout"

Announcer: "And in the blue corner we have, greatly controversial, Eren Jaeger, ranked third in the division with a record of 16 wins and 1 loss with a 100% knockout ratio. The ex Cruiserweight Champion looks to make a further step in his journey to dethroning the God like Kori 'Ice Death' Shi"

Announcer: "The fighters are in the ring... NOWWW... LETS US BEGINNNN!"

The fighters meet in the middle of the ring as the judge steps to meet them both in the middle

Referee: "Jaeger, Payne, a clean fight as usual, I will not be standing for any bullshit so keep things above the belt, minimal grappling and absolutely nothing to the back of the head. Now touch gloves and get ready for the sound of the bell" (he commands fairly)

DING.DING.DING

The bell sounds, signalling the start of the 1st round

Eren steps forward quickly and flicks out a jab

Max dodges and returns his own which is parried by Eren

Eren uses skillful foot work to keep himself in the centre of the ring as he allows Max to hop around in circles around him

They both exchange equally for the first round as they get a feel for each other

Max's longer reach is countered by Eren stepping in and getting openings through his southpaw stance

DING.DING.DING

End of the 1st round

10-10 Draw

DING.DING.DING

2nd round begins with Eren coming out passively as he allows Max to come towards him

Max fires off a nice combination and then dodges Eren's attacks

Eren closes the distance and unleashes a nice 3 shot combination to Max's torso

Eren dodges a swift overhand right from Max and replies with the first Warhammer shot of the night

Max stumbles a bit but regains control and throws a lead jab which Eren dodges, landing an overhand left and cross combo that makes Max retreat 2 steps

Eren chases down Max, slipping a double lead jab and hitting a hard double Warhammer shot to Max's stomach and chin respectively

Max hits the canvas and Eren skips off confidently

Max gets up at the count of 4 and unleashes a fury of punches that Eren dodges, only getting caught by the last iron right that pops his nose

Eren and Max partake in an exchange of huge, heavy shots that see Eren come out dominant as he corners Max and starts wildly beating him, body, body, head, body, head, head, BOOM

Max drops for the second time in the round as is saved by the bell

The 3rd round starts and Eren releases a crazy spinning punch that sends Max to the floor with a thud

Ref: "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10"

Commentator: "AND ITS ALL OVER, EREN JAEGER BECOMES THE NUMBER 1 CHALLENGER AFTER A 3RD ROUND KNOCKOUT!"

After Eren and Max shake hands with respect, a reporter approaches Eren

Eren snatches the mic from her and speaks into it

Eren: "AWOOO, I speak to you directly, Ice Death. Sounds like a really shit slushy flavour. I know you're bitch made, so let's get this deal signed and sorted. OR ARE YOU A FUCKING PUSSY? 2022 IS THE YEAR OF THE JAEGER, AWOOO!"

3 months later:

Commentator: "WHATS THIS?! THE MEDICS SURROUND EREN AFTER HE'S SLUMPED TO THE FLOOR AND DEFEATED BY KORI SHI IN THE 4TH ROUND OF THIS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE BOUT!"

Kori: "Eren Jaeger, you chose the wrong opponent. Nobody will ever defeat Ice Death. You did well, nobody has gone past the 2nd round but... You will die" (he says harshly)
