My cats are fighting to the point where they're bleeding

I know there are a lot of old posts here about cats fighting, but none of them fits my situation.

Initially we have 7 cats at home. Almost a year ago, my mom found a kitten (Muse) when she was jogging near the beach so she took them with her. On her way home, she found another kitten (Orange) and took it home as well. Both kittens were pretty much the same age. Because they both were babies and the other 7 cats hate them, I ended up taking care of them in which they pretty much live in my room. Both of them get along well.

However, now that they're bigger, especially for Orange, they've been wanting to go out to the living room more, which is something I totally understand. Here's the thing. I do allow Orange to leave the room and explore the living room. He gets along with all the cats except one cat name Purry. Also, they're all male cats. Every time Orange sees Purry, they will start fighting and chasing one another, horrible horrible fights. I don't understand why both of these don't get along. I do understand that maybe because they're not introduced properly, but the other cats are fine with Orange and vice versa. I do think in this situation it's Orange hating Purry instead of the other way around and I have no idea why. They have nothing to be jealous about as well. They have different litter, different food and Purry is my mom's cat, not mine so there shouldn't be any case of Orange being jealous of the attention I'm giving Purry, but I give him none.

I tried only letting Orange out when Purry is sleeping in my mom's room, but it gets harder everyday because Orange has been wanting to leave my room so much. If I don't, he will scratch the door whole day and night until I open it. Last night, they got into a huge fight and both were wounded, though mostly Orange. My dad got angry and suggested that I give the cat away but I really love him. It's funny because Muse, the other cat in my room, hates leaving the room.

I really want them to get along, I'll do everything it takes honestly. Does anyone have any suggestions? At this point I will literally try everything.
