Staph tackled Ekyt again, but Ekyt grabbed him around the waist and threw him backward. “Stop it, both of you!” Linda-su yelled, stepping between them. “Now look Staph, Ekyt is my boyfriend. I got tired of your overbearing ways. I'm not with the dark legion anymore. I'm not coming back. Now leave, or you'll get hurt.” He smiled unpleasantly. “You will come with me, or <i>you</i> will be hurt.” Ekyt let loose a deep, guttural, growl. “That's it! I've had it with your cheap shots! I am <i>not</i> going to let you standby and insult the women I love. Unlike <i>you</i>, I give her freedom. And I'm loyal. If she told me she had to arrest me just for the heck of it, I wouldn't give her a fight! And if you even so much as <i>look</i> her one more time, you will be eating out of an I.V., because I will kick your teeth down your throat.”

Staph snarled back. “You listen to me, you past tub of crap! She was mine before she was yours, and I will get her back!” Ekyt snapped, worse than before. “Olive grove! Now!” Linda put her hand on his shoulder. “You're injured! And you know what the olive grove does.” (Linda is referring to Ekyt's battle with his evil self back in the early issues- N.G.) He turned to her. “I can't let him insult your honor, Linda. I care for you. You know I do. I've been killed for you, I took a bullet for you (Previous issues- N.G.) And I'm not about to let this second-rate jerk destroy our relationship. If you told me you were in love with him, I'd let you go. So tell me now: Do you love him?” She sighed. “I…I used to.” Ekyt nodded firmly. “Olive Grove. This time it's for my honor. Linda is the referee. She can choose between us.” “Fine. But you'd better say goodbye now.” He left.

Tails followed Ekyt to the Olive Grove. “Are you sure your up to this?” he asked. Amy agreed. “Yeah, is it worth dying for?” Ekyt turned to them both. He sighed, knowing that they were to young to fully comprehend what his next words were. “If I die out there, I'm leaving you the house. But please, take care of Linda, no matter what her decision is.” The two youngsters stared on in amazement as Ekyt tore off his shirt and pulled on the traditional black duel pants. He wrapped his ribs and his wrist. “Good luck buddy.” Tails said solemnly. “And to you.”

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Staph was already out there. He rushed Ekyt immediately. Ekyt tossed him into a bush. “Loser leaves the island. Agreed?” Ekyt said. “Fine by me.” Staph answered. The squared off again. Staph threw punch after punch, aiming for the ribs. Ekyt, already in pain, fought defensively. At the hour mark, both Ekyt and Staph were bleeding. Linda stopped the match. “Look, why don't we stop this right now, neither of you has to leave!” Linda said desperately. She turned to her frazzled boyfriend. “I'm sorry. I just keep thinking of the good times I've had with both of you.” Staph tossed a handful of sand in Ekyt's eyes, then kicked him in the face. Ekyt was down for the ten seconds.

He had lost the match. But Staph wasn't satisfied. He tore the bandages off his ribs and stomped at them, punched at them. Ekyt couldn't even defend himself. Linda pulled Staph off, but the damage had been done.

Tails watched as Ekyt, heartbroken, walked by. Ekyt stopped and knelt down next to the fox and the little pink hedgehog. “Listen, you guys take care of yourself. If you need me, I'll…” he ran a hand through his hair. “I don't know where I'll be. But take care.” He left without another word. He turned back for a second, looking at Linda. Then he walked away.

Linda tried to catch up with him and apologize. But he didn't hear her. He didn't know anything anymore. Locke already knew, so he sent Archimedes to inform Ekyt of his suspension. Ekyt looked at one of his mentors, and said “Arch, I don't think I'll <i>ever</i> come back.” “Kid, you've got a great job! People who care. A great girl…friend. Aw crap. Point is, you're like royalty here.” “Doesn't matter. I'm always getting kicked off the island for stuff that isn't my fault. I've had it!” He pulled off the mask and gave it to Archimedes. “Give it to Linda.” “Where ya gonna go, kid?” “Who knows? Somewhere off the radar. I've lost it all Archimedes.” “You're alive.” “Could've fooled me. Just tell Locke thanks for everything, and tell Knuckles thanks for being a great friend and mentor. Maybe I'll change my mind. But for now, it's time to find out who I am.”
