Tower of God: Part 2 - The Workshop Battle

A white-haired man with glasses and has a conversation with one another via radio. Elsewhere the Team Tangsooyook is transported to the central area of ​​the 30th floor and look very amazed factory the ship where it will be the Battle Factory, the Archimedes. Koon has a flashback where Hwa Ryun says that nobody can know that he and Baam are alive. Moreover Leesoo who also just arrived, is impressed to see the Archimedes, but Hatsu tells that they are not here on holiday, but to kill Jyu Viole Grace.

Moreover, Ran and Novick say to Viole that ordered to Reflejo that remove fetters. Viole ordered to Reflejo that remove fetters. Reflejo tells them to do nothing in response Novick suspect and try to intimidate him, but he feels something strange and backwards. After Novick asks Viole because he treats so well, he answers because they are friends Koon, but could not give more details. While Ran and Novick down the stairs, Novick suggests to Ran that they should escape, because they had no obligation to help the slayer candidate. Later on in the night, Viole is seen outside staring off into the night, thinking of his old friends, when he sees the Traveller being chased.

Viole follows the Traveller to an alleyway and destroys his pursuers. The Traveller berates him, confusing Viole and the two of them take cover. As Blue Dog appears at the scene, the Traveller explains that the when a patrol is destroyed, it sends out a signal calling in a stronger patrol to take its place. He texted Emile and the two of them headed to area D-52. When they got there, the Traveller started setting up ETD (electronic transmission disruptors), saying that if they killed Blue Dog here, it wouldn't send out a signal for more patrols. They then started setting up a bomb to kill Blue Dog.

Meanwhile, Leesoo's team was being interviewed, and Koon watched in exasperation as Wangnan and Dan practically drooled over Androssi's interview. The two of them decided to watch a movie since the rest of Tangsooyook had left Wangnan while he was sleeping. Koon watched Leesoo's interview, noting that Leesoo was still a bad liar when he said Jyu Viole Grace didn't worry him. Suddenly, his interview was cut short by Io, the person in charge of the battle. He said that a game was about to take place, with the prize being a ticket to board Archimedes, and the tool they had to use was a gun.

One Shot, One Opportunity
Io explained the rules of the game to the regulars, then informed them they had 60 seconds until the safety was lifted. Koon noticed some regulars running outside their building and pretended to shoot Wangnan, drawing in the regulars by the scream elicited from Wangnan’s mouth. Afterwards, they were contacted by Goseng through her lighthouse, telling Koon that Miseng and Prince had been separated due to their phobia of heights. Hearing this, Koon made the decision to send Dan up, and run to the observatory with Wangnan despite the ongoing fighting.

Meanwhile, Hatsu, Leesoo, and Anak were running from their lodgings to the center of the battle to get more bullets. As they were doing so, Androssi gave them four bullets, along with paparazzi who let slip the location of the FUG lodgings. However, it turned out that it was merely a ploy on Androssi’s part to find Viole, whom she knew had left the lodgings beforehand.

In the FUG lodgings, Viole’s team were discussing what to do when they were alerted to Anak Zahard’s presence. When it was clear she wasn’t going to move, the FUG team went back to discussing what to do. Reflejo decided to wait for Viole’s return, moving out to attack only when the number of tickets had fallen below 100. Outside, Leesoo was waiting for the rest of his team to get into position, only attacking when the numbers of tickets had fallen below 100 as well.

In area D-52, Viole had finished setting up the bomb, and asked the Traveller why the workshop patrols were chasing him. The Traveller revealed that he had been trying to break into Archimedes because the prize of the tournament was a human, and that human was someone dear to him. Just then, Blue Dog came in and they detonated the bomb. Unfortunately, it had its shields up and Viole moved in to attack it. Just as he was about to do so, Androssi came in and kicked the Blue Dog into the ground, killing it in one blow. Before Viole could recover, Androssi pointed a gun to his head. Since the transmitter disrupters had been broken by Androssi’s entry, Viole’s gun dropped down distracting Androssi. She turned but was frozen by Viole, who got ran and picked up his gun. He provoked Androssi, calling her a tank and she rushed into a load of bombs the Traveller threw. The two of them got away, leaving Androssi to deal with the following workshop patrols. Outside, the two of them parted ways, the Traveller saying that Viole didn’t seem like a bad person. As he left, Viole read the rules and dashed back to his lodgings.

In the town, Quatro and Chang had just gotten bullets, and they went up to where Goseng and the rest were hiding. When they arrived, Chang was about to shoot all of them when Wangnan and Koon arrived in a nick of time, forcing Chang to accept Koon’s deal. The two of them were sent up and gave Koon all their bullets.

Afterwards, Goseng wanted to go and help Prince and Miseng, but Koon didn’t allow it. Akraptor agreed and he and Wangnan sent everyone up. However, once he had done so Wangnan threw a tantrum, insisting to go save Prince and Miseng or else he’d commit suicide. Disgusted, Koon located Prince and Miseng, giving Wangnan their location.

Unknown to Wangnan, Prince and Miseng had been captured by Verdi as pets. She, along with Amigo and Vespa went to their respective battle positions and Leesoo gave the signal for Anak to fire her spear. She did so and encountered RanNovick. Outside, Hatsu took Cassano by surprise with a shinsoo-enhanced slash. Hatsu and Cassano fought, and though Cassano thought his skin couldn’t be pierced, Hatsu revealed he had trained an insane amount and now his sword could be strengthened to cut through Cassano’s weapon. He brought Cassano to his knees with Spectral Dance, but was distracted by an explosion from Androssi fighting the Workshop Patrols. Cassano took this chance and attacked, breaking Hatsu’s sword. Defeated, Hatsu was still sent up by Cassano.

Back in FUG lodgings, Anak charged at Ran and Novick. Novick blocked but was still blown back into the wall by Anak’s immense strength. Being shown this display of strength, Ran pulled out an item that created a storm cloud that obscured his movements and limited Anak’s vision. He tricked her into throwing her spear at Novick, using him as a distraction to attack her. Enraged, Anak used all four baangs to blast away the storm cloud, but Ran had jumped out of the window and prepared to shoot her. Anak flipped over and prepared to shoot Ran, but Viole arrived and froze them both, shotting them with a white bullet.

Once the battle was done, Xia Xia notified them that Leesoo and Vespa were approaching Yuto. Xia Xia wanted to attack them, but Viole knew Leesoo must have had a plan. He asked Novick to send Reflejo up, then went to Yuto’s location.

Yuto was fighting evenly with Vespa, but was distracted and put off rhythm by shinsoo blasts from the outside by Laure. Leesoo was stationary, directing Amigo’s drill from below. Amigo, Laure, Leesoo and Vespa cornered and injured Yuto, and he would have died if Viole hadn’t appeared and rescued him.

Viole ripped off some of Yuto’s robe to cover his face, then faced off with Leesoo’s team. Verdi’s pet shot a ring on Viole’s finger, sealing off his shinsoo. Amigo and Vespa then went to attack Viole, and Yuto took a ciritcal hit from Vespa’s poison. Realizing he couldn’t defeat them without any advantages, Viole used his thorn to quickly defeat Amigo and Vespa. Leesoo was hesitant to admit defeat and only did so when Verdi told him Horyang had appeared in front of her.

Horyang had been directed by Koon, who was running over to Wangnan’s position when Wangnan caught up with Verdi. From behind a wall, Wangnan watched as Viole negotiated honey to treat Vespa’s poison and white bullets. When Verdi was going to the rendezvous point, Wangnan tried to stop her but was knocked aside. He ran to Horyang, pleading for him to come back, but Horyang declined, walking back to the FUG team.



When Viole had treated Yuto, Novick came to him, warning him not to push himself or he might end up damaged. Viole simply said he didn’t care because he had lost his reason to live long ago. Sadly, Koon watched from behind a wall, and went to where Wangnan was. Unknown to him, Rak had been following him since he ran to Horyang in the sewer. Viole went back with Novick to the rest of his team and they sent each other up.

Koon arrived to a depressed Wangnan. He turned and stared wide-eyed at Rak, who had been behind Koon the whole time.

Back in D-52, Androssi had just finished breaking hordes of Workshop Patrols. She saw the Traveller running and pounced on him, yelling at him to find Jyu Viole Grace. The Traveller angrily responded that he was 25th Baam, when Bonbon appeared behind Androssi. She turned the Traveller over to the Workshop in return for a ticket up to Archimedes.

Archimedes
The first day of the Workshop Battle served as a rest for all those regulars who had won a ticket to the Archimedes. Most of them were found in the pool, including Ship's Team, who were resting and brooding over his loss facing Viole. In a separate room the Workshop moderators and Madoraco were try to making more interesting the Workshop Battle to suit their purposes.

In the Team Tangsooyook room Rak was talking to Koon and Wangnan. Rak says he knew everything and wanted to recover Baam, they fought and argued, Koon went outside to the balcony. He was joined by Wangnan, who admitted that he admired Koon for wanting to protect Baam, instead of climbing up with him. Koon admitted that when he was a child, he found a jewel and kept it hidden so no one could find it, even if it meant that he himself couldn't wear and appreciate its beauty. Rak then came out and said that he was happy when he found out "the black turtle" was alive, because it meant that the three of them could be together. With that in mind, Koon resolved to free Viole from FUG, saying that it would only get "cheaper and dirter from now on". (These were the exact words when he told Baam he would bring him and Rachel up "cheap and dirty".)

Meanwhile, Hatsu decided, by request of Leesso, to buy a new weapon since his previous one was destroyed by Cassano. Hatsu went into the Acorn store and saw Cassano accompanied by Horyang. They spoke with a researcher Sophia, and Horyang was overcome with emotion. Hatsu was finally discovered by Beta and without his weapon was quickly imprisoned. While Sophia showed Cassano and Horyang her research, you could see than one of the guards was Lero-Ro.

Battle x Gamble
At the beginning of the day, all the contestents went out to the arena. Viole was accosted by those who hated Zahard for various reasons, and walked away with his feelings in turmoil. Xia Xia tried to tease him, but Novick tried to dissuade her, saying that he shone with a brilliant light, and that light attracted other people. As he was saying this, Rak was standing from a corridor looking at Viole.

Leesoo was also walking to the arena and wondered where Hatsu was. Anak told him not to worry, knowing from experience that the loss of a weapon could be devastating indeed.

When everyone had congregated at the arena, Io and Punk related the rules of the game. The first participants were displayed on a screen, and Wangnan was estatic to find that Prince and Miseng had made it. When he and Akraptor arrived, however, Prince yelled at them to get away from Miseng. His face was bloated from being beaten, and as he spoke, Miseng arrived with a bloddy plug and an ominous aura around her.

Regulars tried to attack her, mistaking her for an easy kill. Unfortnately, they were blown away by Miseng's strength. Prince then related the events that happened during his stay on Archimedes. Having informed the rest of his team, they worked together to constrain Miseng and pluck the flower from her head. During the fight, Prince showed surprising strength and was able to deflect Miseng's enhanced blow. They left the arena, but not before Prince yelled in front of the whole crowd that he would bring Viole back.

The next round consisted of five simultaneous battles, and everyone was excited to see that Varagarv, the strongest E-rank regular, was participating. Goseng participated in one round, and was aided by Horyang. That round was won by the two of them and Chang. On another pillar, Quatro and Yihwa argued about the use of flames. On Varagarv's pillar, he walked to the center to put his plug in the socket. He was challenged by a warrior, Amaguta. He ignored Amaguta, and when Amaguta still charged at him, he blew up his head to the shock of all the contestents.Viole had a flashback to when Reflejo informed Viole on Varagarv's past, saying that his sole motivation for participating was to kill Viole.

Meanwhile, Hatsu had escaped from his bonds, and asked Emile how to escape. To his amazement, she pointed out a trapdoor that happened to be under his bed.



The next rounds had finished without much disturbances. Androssi had won her round, Vespa and Verdi wontheirs, and Rak and Dan won their rounds while donning disguises. In the next batch, Viole's name was displayed. He ran to the center, intending to end the round quickly. He stopped in surprise when he was greeted by fake followers. They would let Viole pass and let two of them proceed along with him. This plan backfired as it disgusted Viole. He immediately dispatched them all, kicking one up to the stands in the process. As he fought, Anak told Androssi that she saw Viole's face for one second, and that they were exactly the same as Baam's. Androssi knew she couldn't approach Viole in public, so she resolved to do so at the winning party.



The next batch of rounds showed Cassano, Yuto and Novick fighting. The three of them easily won their rounds.Afterwards, Novick told Ran that he was sure FUG had a reason for releasing Viole in an uncontrolled environment like the Workshop Battle. They passed Beta, who Ran said wasn't human. Beta went to Viole's room, and was there to greet him when Viole returned. The last round was displayed with an additional all-in rule added. (see rules of game for details) Unfortunately, both Anak and Ran would be fighting, and they both resolved to end the rematch that Viole interrupted.
