My legs grew tired of walking- which was to be expected. They had strapped us to the back of a horse and carriage, and we had to run as fast as the horses were- which was definitely not slow. I scan the sight of my friends, and as I expected, none of us were looking better than before, and at this point, we would stand no chance against the guards. It was morning now, and people began flooding into the streets. As they caught sight of us, they booed and threw stuff at us.
A kid ran up to me, eyes locked on mine. He looked rather fat, and he stared at me with a look of lust. Wait. He reached his head up, and bit my face. He was trying to eat me!! So I did what anyone else would do and I bit the kid's ear off and kept walking. We were almost at the colesseum, and it was even larger up close. After a few minutes, we enter the threshold of the structure, and it seems there is a battle going on right now.
A man with draconic wings flies above a man with wooden horns. The horny (get it? Because sex funny?) guy places his hand on the ground, before a pillar of wood rises from the ground, rising him to the level of the dragon guy. The winged man blows a beam of flame, turning horny's pillar to ash. Horny jumps off of the pillar before summoning wooden snakes from the ground. Wing dodges and weaves through all of the heads before meeting horny face to face- and within seconds, he engulfs horny in flame.
A booming voice echoes through the colosseum. "Winner: Unnamed side character 34!!" As we walk through the halls, we can hear the cheers and yelling of the crowd, and eventually, we are taken to a cell. The guards empty our pockets, taking Gin's cards and Siken's katana. The guards shove us in the cell, and lock the door, leaving us to our own devices.
Gin immediately reforms his deck. "I can just make these." I cock my head to the side. "Huh." Shinimaru perks up. "So we could escape?" Siken pushes him back. "To where? We don't know where Oiran is, and none of us are in fighting condition."
I nod. "True. Our best bet would be to wait and escape during a fight." Shinimaru nods as well. "Let's just wait here until then. Not like we can do anything else." I sigh " Might as well get comfortable." I lean back-
"AAAAGH!!" I leaned into a skeleton.
We sat there, waiting for one of us to get called on, but it didn't happen. Eventually, a day passed, and night fell. Even at nighttime, it was very loud in the colosseum, the prisoners causing the most obnoxious ruckus possible.
I couldn't fall asleep due to what seemed to be the sound of a man trying to eat his own fingers, and another man doing backflips. My entire body was in pain from using Calamity Cloak, adding more reasons for me not to fall asleep. Maybe I'll also eat my fingers-
FWSH
My body moves instinctively toward the sound- and my eyes were met with what I could only describe in one word- beauty. She had white hair that seemed to glow in the moonlight, and her red eyes seemed to suck in the darkness of the night. She wore a long black haori over white shorts that seemed to be made of leather- and she wore large black punk rock boots...and on her back, are two angelic wings. She looks over to me, her piercing eyes making eye contact with mine-
"Ew." She said, disgusted. She spat at me, then disappeared in a gust of wind. I sit there for a moment, before rubbing my forehead. "Thought I took it easy on the cocaine..."
I wake up, and immediately jump backward upon seeing the skeleton again. More guards come into our cell after a few hours and force-feed us some sort of defecate that tastes like sushi. After a while of waiting, another guard comes into our cell, and unlocks our door. He gestures to Shinimaru. "You, you're up." Shinimaru sighs, before walking out of the door as it slams behind him. I turn to Gin. "Those stock prices, huh?" Gin doesn't even look at me. "Shut the f**k up."
After about an hour, we hear the loud voice come on again. "Fight number three of the day is here!! And our two contenders are- Shinimaru, the emo guy with green hair!! Going up against him is Shinji The Ripper!!" The colosseum rumbled as a gate at the bottom of the structure opened, revealing Sinimaru walking out. On the left side of the battleground, another man walked out. He wore a white and red oversized techwear hoodie over a black shirt worn above a red and black pair of techwear pants. A devilish smile was plastered on Shinji's face as he met Shinimaru in the center. He said something, but I couldn't hear.
The voice comes on again. "The fight begins in 3...2...2...2...2...2...2..."
I hear someone yell. "GET TO THE F**KING SHOW YOU BITCH!!"
There was some hesitation from the announcer. "....3!!! BEGIN!"
As soon as he yells this, Shinimaru ignites his flames, and Shinji- walks away. With his back turned the man began to walk in the other direction. Shinimaru had an annoyed look on his face, but he seemed to get over it, and lunge forward-
SHING
A cut slashes through Shinimaru's chest, sending him flying backward. Shinji still hadn't moved. Shinimaru shakily stands up, before charging forward again-
BANG
A gunshot could be heard from seemingly nowhere as Shinimaru fell backward as if shot by a gun. Shinji turned around, smiling. "Checkmate."
Oiran had no idea where she was- and she was shrouded in darkness. Blood dripped from her body from the lashes and beatings of the guards. She would NEVER go back to being a Valkyrie.
CREEK
The door to her cell opened again, and she flinched at the noise. Three guards entered the room. They looked the same as before- but they were holding something. It looked like a metallic spine, and it had blue glowing symbols on it. The guard on the left held Oiran in place, exposing her back which had been nearly shredded by the constant abuse. Oiran assumed that it was some sort of torture device- but the guard in the back simply latched it onto her back-
Her mind was instantly flooded in chaos- endless thoughts of some other being began to enter her brain. Blood began to drip from her nose as her brain was overloaded. Oiran stood up, the chains breaking under the force of a power that was not hers. Her eyes began to glow red as she turned to face the guards- her demonic wings outstretched, and her red, blood-soaked horns piercing the sky.
