The crowd gasped then let out a huge roar in delight of the finale. (Crowd) "Stupendous!!! What a mighty breath attack... He really is a little monster, to be able to harness the steam and heat it's molecules to melting point is quite impressive!!!"
The swamp started to rumble, then with great force -spooosh- enormous geysers emerged from beneath the murky waters with intense pressure. Shooting up into the sky, the waters formed an aquarium surrounding us and in a blink, the horrid swamp became pitch black...
-Zzzzo zzzzo- White Hot streaks littered the skyline, all of them leading back to a single starting point and at that location of origin was an Orb hanging from the Black Aquarium as if it was a black drip. It grew in size and now the streaks of energy had engulfed the solid black orb completely, it fell to the ground as majestic as a rain droplet pulling away from the edge of a leaf after a stiff breeze...
Even the impact it made was sublime, it was very soft and easing, there was no boom, no explosion, but only a trace of a ringing could be heard deep inside of the individuals mind causing a quick blur of vision. It was mind numbing, even BlackBlood was caught off guard...
(BlackBlood) "What! I didn't notice but now we are back in the Oasis. -A rush flickered throughout the body of BlackBlood, her tips of hair are now smoking to a hint of deep red, she informed Gargy... The reason we came here has just been clarified... These whelps are an interesting bunch, now I shall go and secure us some profit & opportunity...."
(Kouncil Memeber) "You were all witnesses to the wage rites & battle that followed. That was the most dominant performance by an underdog that has ever happened here. Today Bafe & Dredk have elevated their position within our Circle!!! And by doing so as an underdog they shall be granted one year of no battles to handle the new estates..."
"Ayu! You have lost your head to head wager while you were the favorite, giving away your Magma Quasar. Also there must be an extra forfeiture of status. No need to offer anything, it's already settled.. From this day forward you can no longer be a Favorite during Carnage battles....!!" Ayu took her penance and left the area in search of a new beast to take the place of Snag... As for the two of you who bet in favor of Ayu your tribunes to the Kouncil have just tripled!!
Now, now lets now sour the mood of the great match instead today we have a new type of match in store. We finally have Holders with Monsters worth the invite into the Kouncil... We only have one slot available, this battle will decide. The stakes are escalated to ensure the loser can't easily get revenge or challenge the victor. A mighty blow to anyone so your wagers must also match the risk, it must be this way... (Member sits down)
(Moderator) "Well that was a match we all needed to see right?!! Well no need to slow down.. MORE BLOOD, MORE DEATH, MORE CARNAGE!!! I can't contain myself sometimes I clamber for blood same as you lot!!!! But I've rambled on a bit too much...
Next up will be the Huntra Golem 'Seeg' who was spliced on the gargantuan death maze 'Labyrinth of the 5 Wars'... Aet(Seeg's Holder) paid hefty fees to have this Monster survive that type of environment ... Some say this creature was nurtured to be the perfect weapon, but his opposition is no stranger to tumultuous situations....!!!
'Paoki Star' was once known as the Apex for picking Monster Species due to its Ten-Billion species all vying for Supremacy... Treacherous, perilous & daunting is the only way to describe that Star but somehow Cerq the holder went into that place, plucked 'Mhandy' his Prism Troll from the monster mash and the two have been killing off creatures and monsters together ever since....
Cerq has wagered his Atom splitting lab which is located dead center of Paoki Star, there's some really good testing grounds out that way... The lab is known as one of the best in the Nova Abyss Universe.. It can't be replaced if loss in this match, there is a lot is riding on Mhandy....
Aet is willing to match the wager by offering his Gene Splicing Cloud Zone... It floats above the Labyrinth giving a look of all the havoc roaming within its walls... The floating zone has been producing golems for every faction known. So who wants to wager on this bout???"
The crowd murmured among themselves on what to do... (Crowd) "Monsters huh, I don't know how it'll be they went far to get these Holders... I don't recognize that species of being for that Aet.. Who's been to that Labyrinth? Better yet who's traveled to the edge of our universe to visit Paoki Star??? Too many uncertainties in this match, not risking it..." Not a single wager was put up...
-Member stands up- "Rule dictates there must be a favorite for the habitat stages!!! Someone must wager... The crowd gets testy- "then why don't one of you vote!!" Grumbles Of displeasure started to erupt from the crowd... The Kouncil Member waives his hands downward quieting the crowd...
(Member) Tsk... Tsk... "You didn't let me finish. The responsibility of the wager will fall on the shoulders of the outsider... (Crowd) "There's only one outsider here... You mean she's going to be forced to wager something? But what does she have? (Member) "That's what the Kouncil decided and it's fair, BlackBlood do you deny this privilege??
BlackBlood faces the Kouncil with a demented grin of joy, nodding.. (Member) Then what would you have that's grand enough for us to stake a wager? (BlackBlood) I want San'Halo to be my captive and I want my Gargoyle to Battle that Hyena in the next match...
(Member) Did you not hear our conversations earlier he is part of the Heroes Guild they will hunt you down. Do you wish to go through that? And what could you possibly have that can be worth that trouble and you want Top placement for a battle?? Let's hear it..
(BlackBlood) I can handle myself and as for what I can wager, trust me I have something you may want. -She pulls her satchel from around her- This is what I have...
(Member) What??? It is the -Oni Forest Magus-!!!!! Where did you get that book?? How did you get your hands on such an ancient treasure? (BlackBlood) Do you agree to my terms or not?? The Council members talk quickly then nod.. (Member) Yes we agree.. You don't know these Monsters or Holders there's a fifty percent chance we win and we really aren't giving up anything because once the Guild Hunt you down and kill you we'll be there to get the Grimoire anyway...
(BlackBlood) "I choose in favor of the Huntra Golem... Let's see who fortune favors within the Labyrinth of 5 Wars...."
To be continued....
