The manticore and a human child lay each other as their bodies were painted a brilliant red. Water had accumulated in the arena and as the sunlight shined on the waters it glittered like beautiful rubies stacked on each other. Their deaths felt like straight out of a picture. The slayer and the slayed even though at each other's throats ended up together in their final moments. For some reason tears started to roll down from their eyes. Never in the 50+years of the history of the arena did something as unnatural had happened.
Check...check.... The host tested his pod like mic. Wasn't this a very wonderful fight, right Miss Rabella? It certainly was very interesting Clint. She spoke back with a firm and unkind voice.
Ha..yes. He replied with embarrassment. Trying to change the topic Clint joked and said it certainly feels like a story from a fairy tale. What was the story's name? Yeah it's the story 'The Beast and the Beast Rider'.
Suddenly the whole arena felt silent and everyone turned pale. The sunlight which had squeezed past the thick rainclouds had vanished. A dark cape of black rain clouds seemed to swallow all the light in the sky. Just them a bright, brilliant red beam of lightning struck which turned the colour of the cloud similar to dried,old blood.
Everyone felt a chill go down their spine and one person fell down from their seat and onto the ground. That person felt head first and could hear cracking sound. The body was covered with the blood water. And people screamed and starting causing a ruckus. Pulling and pushing eachother to get out from this cursed place. Clint who was the announcer and Rabella who was the co-host both sat frozen in their seats. The three prisoners who survived were watching from the side came to the place where they had died and looked at them both sympathetically. Then they went to their own brethren who layed lifelessly and went down on their knees and did a ritualistic practice of sending off the dead soul all while staying still in the water while holding up the hands clasped tightly with each other and formed a ring around the half fish. Soon after they left as nothing was keeping them from going and with determination left for making a warm home for all mixed species.
Clint and Rabella finally moved and jumped into the arena.
Ha finally said Clint with a sigh we can finally finish the real job that we came for.
Tell me 'bout it. I thought I had to forever put up with this little show. I even thought of killing everyone here.
You know you can't do that right. I can't always clean up your little mess. One guy who looked like a middle aged guy and also acted as the captain spoke in a cold way but at the same time tried to be funny.
Yes...yes. I would Never do that Ben. Rabella spoke, obviously annoyed after all the nagging from Ben.
Still Rabella asked in a curious manner did your team of magicians create all the extra effects? Ben replied, if I had that sort of power do you think I would be in this position?
Geez, guess you are right. But still it really felt like the fairy ta.. Suddenly Clint interrupted before Rabella finished her sentence. 'Don't You Dare Joke About It Even For Fun' all of them could see the horrifyingly cold murderous look in his eyes. They knew if they crossed the line again it was not going to end up nice. So all of them kept their mouths shut as they knew that he killed anyone who annoyed him.
Drag the two bodies. We are taking it back with us and the rest of you take that stupid masks of your faces. What happened to the original Clint and Rabella? We have disposed of them already Sir Clint and the truck for transportation is waiting outside the arena. Rabella said playfully.
Make sure not to leave any evidence that might point out who we are and take that girl's weapon. We might be able to find a use for it. Dragging the corpses into the truck they noticed that they both had received major blows and were amazed by the tenacity of the two. They kept the corpses in a cold storage so that the bodies wouldn't rot even if they travelled long distances.
Tear... the sound of ripping something could be heard even at a distance. All of them had ripped of the masks they were wearing. Then while getting into the truck the one posing as Clint said:let's get this truck rolling and thus they drow into the sunset to the lab of the greatest scientist Dr.Black.
