With things already done in the room that he was in currently, Frank had nothing more to do in his current room and went ahead and moved on with his plans of foiling to foolishness that was happening in this hideout. Frank walked down the corridor that led him deeper in and could not help but notice a very strong amount of humidity accumilating the further down that he went. He was not sure what this was but could feel the sheer force of it getting nearer and nearer to him as he made trek down. He wondered if this had anything to do with what was turning the people into titans but he did not really have enough information that could be used to determine both what was causing the heat to circulate and also whether or not that was the cause for the disgusting and cruel transformations that had been happening so for the moment he would just have to forget about the heat coming through the corridor and move on with getting to the bottom of this. It was a better thing to do then waste his time pondering about things that he was not able to change. As he went and went, his breathing was being forced to become shallow due to the unbearable heat. It really had no effect on him but still he was getting more and more worried about it. For now he would focus. He had to remember what it was that he was doing this for. 

Silence. Frank was a little bit confused as to why for the last few minutes he was not met with the sudden annoyance of soldiers coming to halt his progress. This had become somewhat of a norm with the current mission that he was on. Every time that he was even remotely close to finding a clue or something of those sorts that would assist the current protagonist in his goal, his progress was always slowed or hindered by the sudden appearence of a new amount of enemies that wanted to mess with him. In the heart of the conspiracy, he expected there to be armed weaponsmen waiting for him and wanting to take him down, licking their chops at the moment that they would be able to persue and defeat the man who had been causing them so much trouble for the time this had been going which in reality had not really been that long. Yet he would dissapointed as aside from those that he had defeated earlier, he was currently all alone walking down the steps. He felt it would be better to walk down the steps as trying to go ahead and run might end up with him messing up his feet or something given that they were steps and that was not really the smartest of ideas. He would leave the corridor finally reaching the bottom of the steps and feeling once more that it was incredibly hot down here. The strength of the heat could be felt worse than when on the steps.

The room that he was in was incredibly large for an underground cavern but looked just as high tech as the entire base. He looked in front him and noticed a wall with a button on the side and a crack down the middle of a small passage like piece in the wall. He was about to walk ahead when he was disturbed by a shake on the floor of the room. He saw an outlet on the corner wall and out walked a monstrous looking titan on all four of its legs. this one appeared to be more tame and less bulky than the others but still he knew much of a threat the creatures knew how to be. He was ready to fight it with his sword already in hand but was once again shocked as another door opposite the one that gave way to the titan would open and reveal a gladiator similar in every way to the one that he had fought previously. He was wondering why it was that they would be in the room at the same time as titans that he had seen previously were very feral and did not appear to know what they were doing.

The gladiator gave a slight whistle and without warning the titan ran to the man who then mounted him like one would mount a horse or something. Frank was very confused by the sight but knew better than to be caught off guard. Instead of one enemy he would be fighting two enemies who essentially had fused in order to become one. The gladiator would have to focus more on staying on his mount and less on fighting so he might be fighting one handed for most of the time but then again this might not be the case as Frank was unsure just how good of a rider this guy was but he knew that he would not be as good of a rider as he is. Frank wondered why the titan looked so weird and attributed that to the mount that he was riding at the moment. The battle that was brewing would start as the gladiator would issue his mount the order to go ahead and attack him. Frank saw that given the weight of the equipment of the gladiator as well his own weight was causing the titan to move slower than the ones that he had seen but still the combination of the two was going to be quite a lot to deal with.

Frank was prepared to dive to the side in order to dodge the titan but was met by an unfortunate sight in his vision. The gladiator was riding with both of his hands free holding the ball and chain and whilring it over the top of his head. He was able to ride the thing and did not even have use his hands in order to hold the sides of it and because of this new information things would be much more difficult for Frank. He saw two ways to get out of the confrontation that was about to be upon him. He could dive and then try and parry the ball and chain or he could redirect the feet of the creature and topple the rider. He chose the later option order to preserve his stamina. Frank aimed his backslash maneuver at the feet of the charging titan before just at the right location causing damage because of the creature's body being to long to swerve or dodge the attack in time. This caused the titan to fall and roll on the ground while the rider was flung off in the direction opposite the one that the titan fell.

As the titan would scramble to get up, Frank would dart in its direction with his blade in his hand and aim the blade at the spine of creature. He would have to rethink this as a whistling would cause him to abandon his current attack. The whistling was the sound of the stupid wrecking ball the gladiator possessed. The ball was heavy and with that weight combined with the strength of the male throwing it, that was enough to make the whistling sound that allowed Frank to dodge it. He looked back in the direction that the ball had come from and sighed as the titan was once more up and mounted with its master. The gladiator had a smirk of satisfaction his face as it would appear that he had outwitted Frank for the time being. The chain was once more in the air and the ball was rotating once again along with the titan coming at him with the speed it was able to manage because of the extra weight. It was to be a few moments that Frank would be able to use his maneuver again because of the strain that it put on his body so for now he would have to make due without it.

 The ball of steel would come crashing down in the location that Frank was formerly was after making a dodge attempt that would be beyond the capability of the chain and ball to be able to reach to. For now he was kind of safe. The bigger of the two threats would have to be the gladiator as this titan being the weaker of the two was only there to scare frank in order to make him move in the perfect direction of the gladiator. Frank would have to be smart about his next plans otherwise he would be a dead man. Frank saw another charge heading his way and had his plans already done. As they would charge Frank would move at higher speed with his sword in position. The gladiator in response would throw the metal at him attempting to catch him off guard and ram him with the elongated titan. Frank would use his shadow box maneuver in order deflect the strike and using his bounce manuever he would slide to dodge the titan positioning his sword at the outside ready in order to slice through the titans arms crippling it and lowering its speed.

The gladiator cursed and jumped off of his partner as the titan flailed. Frank saw the gladiator charging this time with his gun in hand and sword in hand. The titan was on the ground attempting to nurse its wound by licking it like a dog. Frank could see the gladiator was angry and sporatic shooting at him ignoring the need to cock the gun and reload it. The strongest weapon he had appaeared to be the ball and chain which was what he had been using. Frank would move just as he fired not avoiding the bullets directly but ignoring and moving out of direction effectively avoiding them just the same. He would maneuver around the sword strike using the deployment of his wings in order to turn in a circular motion. This, along with the sword out would cause the blade to slide through the body of the gladiator like he was made of paper.

The titan was now under no control and began to freak out with even more and more confusion. Frank sighed as he would have to put it out of its misery. He would flash speed run at the wounded creature that was still not able to stand and run and slid his blade through the neck of the tyrant avoiding a strike that was heading to him. The battle was done.
