* Riley gets his Lethal Interjection chain stolen by local bully Butch Magnus Milosevic. Butch is far bigger and stronger than Riley, has a crew of his own, and is implied to be known for doing what he wants since no one his age can beat him in a fight. Riley not only [[BullyingADragon IMMEDIATELY confronts Butch]] and challenges him to a fight for stealing his chain, but he INITIATES the fight [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu by calling him "Bitch Magnus"]]. He then shows an [[FragileSpeedster impressive ability]] to dodge Butch's punches, although Butch's [[MightyGlacier size and strength advantage]] eventually catches up to Riley. He may have lost (and handily at that), but anyone who says Riley didn't go down like a G is lying; he [[{{Determinator}} didn't stop]] until he literally couldn't get up (at one point spitting blood out of his mouth and [[AttackAttackAttack rushing back in to get more)]], and finished the fight calling Butch a bitch (again), [[DefiantToTheEnd even as he was getting his ass handed to him]].
** His OWN age?! Butch beat the crap out of a full grown infantry drill instructor (the ones usually hired to haul bad kids off to boot camp on daytime talk show episodes about parents who can't control their delinquent children) '''and''' broke the leg of one of the other members of Lethal Interjection - a kid his own age wouldn't stand a chance no matter how badass he was. Riley standing up to this ogre is nothing short of balls the size of Jupiter.
