Chapter 8 - Chapter 6: Old Enemies

[Hanz]

"Some fights have already passed, but there was nothing special! Weaklings who weren't even worth being honoured became a part of this tournament and have been destroyed, all becoming a part of Doom."

Hanz looked down on the players with eyes full of madness. "The next fight promises to be interesting! Old friends and now bloody rivals, an angel on the path of the villain and a demon who chose to become a hero!!!" Hanz shouted with full lungs, "Let's meet the Angel ANIMIORE and the demon KB_MGM"

The Coliseum was filled up with loud applause. People on the other side of the monitors were excited to see a fight between Heaven and Hell, a fallen angel and a redeemed demon. "Who is going to win?" Was the only question left in their mind?

The gates of heaven opened, trumpets shot through the whole coliseum, and an angel with beautiful black wings and a tailored black suit landed on the ground. However, the red crystal on his chest represents that he has fallen.

At the same time, the lands divided in half, hell flames bursting out, and sinners screaming ear-shredding cries; a demon with red skin, long hair and horns all around his body appeared. A demon, whose faith was to be a hero.

[Fight]

"Finally, after all this time, we meet again, old friend" ANIMIORE broke the silence, his high, torn voice not sounding angelic. When you listen to him, only fear appears in your heart.

"Yes, it has been quite a long time since we last met. I couldn't even imagine that we would be able to meet again," said KB_MGM, the demon with his scary face. However, his voice was as if God was talking to you, a low and calm tone that can relax you.

It was a meeting of two opposites: an angel who denied everything for power and a demon who took it upon himself for the world. Again, after thousands of years of death, they met to finish their battle, to decide who stands above the world.

Sometimes when high races like angels and demons are spined, real players are replaced by different personalities, angels, gods and demons. They are corrupting new bodies, to feel once more what was life. This is quite rare and we are really lucky to be witnessing this duel.

Finally, the gong rang. Two historical figures are ready to finish the fight.

"After a thousand years in the prison of death, I can finally take my revenge and prove that prodigy was a fraud!" ANIMIORE yelled and flew towards KB_MGM. He, with full might, punched the demon, but KB just looked down on him with sadness. ANIMIORE can't believe his eyes and a couple of punches land on KB.

"No! This is impossible, my strongest blow doesn't have any effect on you!? I deny believing this!" ANIMIORE wrapped his hands on the force field and again, with full power, started punching.

KB was just dodging. ANIMIORE started talking with joy, "Ha, you can't tank my fists when they are wrapped in a force field!? That's right you should fear me!" KB wasn't trying to attack back, looking with sorrow at an old friend. "I cannot understand, why do you hate me? Even when our races were fighting, we stayed friends. But only because of these stories of a prodigy you decided to betray me?" He, with one finger, pushed ANIMIORE to the wall.

"You! You don't know how I felt when humans attacked us, it was me who should have stopped them!" ANIMIORE managed to set the force field, but KB's raw power was too great, and it broke. Now, he is but coughing with blood. ANIMIORE was in shock; who could imagine that an angel who was fighting in the greatest battles of history would be thrown away like a toy, and a being that had this immeasurable power was not someone ordinary, but a Demon who was hated by ANIMIORE mostly, For destroying his dreams.

Slowly, ANIMIORE started standing up. You can see how painful and hard it was for him, but the angel can't allow himself to show the moment of weakness. Finally, he studied up. "I wanted to be a hero! But why would a demon be the chosen one?!" with tears, he slowly walked towards his old friend. "You should be evil! After all, you are just a demon! Why? Just why? Prodigy chose you"

When he finally managed to stand before KB, he started punching. Punches were slow and weak. "I destroyed everything you loved! But why? Why are you looking at me like you're about to cry!? You should hate me and want to tear me apart!!" Finally, the last of his strength left him. He folded down his bloody fists and started beating with his head "It should be me, not you!" Blood was everywhere, ANIMIORE was beating with bloody tears, nonstop cursing and blaming for everything KB.

KB stopped him and finally talked. "How could you imagine me to hate you?" He kneeled and hugged ANIMIORE. For a second he was confused. It was the first time after long years that he felt the warmth of love, and the angel started crying. "You were my first friend. The first one who took me out of hell. Even if I wanted to, I can't hate you." KB was calming and hugging ANIMIORE. He was crying, crying because he felt how he was hurting KB, and realized that he was trying to kill only his friend, who was always on his side.

"I, I always envied you, you always had a strong soul. That's what drew my attention, and after hundreds of years together, I finally saw that your heart and soul were more beautiful than any angels." ANIMIORE hugged KB even more "When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a friend who would always be by my side no matter what…"

They were hugging for quite a while, and after some time ANIMIORE started coughing with blood again. He knew that the time he had left was just a few minutes and he had to make a decision.

ANIMIORE slowly started standing up with the last of his strength; he stood up, straightened his shoulders and said, "My friend, with this wound, I won't live much longer… However, I have only one last wish, to die in a loyal fight against you. Only then can I return to death's embrace with pride. Can you help me fulfil my wish?"

KB_MGM stood up "Anything you wish my friend," he took his trident and got in a fighting stance. "Attack me ANIMIORE. Let this battle burn in our hearts and those of the people."

With a smile, ANIMIORE wrapped his hands in force fields. "My friend, don't hold back. Attack me with all your might." With this parole, he flew towards KB.

"I wasn't planning to hold back anyways." KB smiled and attacked. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. ANIMIORE was stabbed in the heart; his strengthless body fell in his best friend's arms. With last might he said "You know, I really hate the fact that you are better than me" he coughed up blood. "Ha, I am about to die… After killing me, don't dare lose against anyone else! I will wait for you in hell." ANIMIORE, last time, looked at KB. "Now I see why you were chosen. Shine like a sun in this dark world, and prove to everyone that prodigy was true!!!'' These were the last words of an angel who was ready to destroy everyone who stood in his way, and the last man who he saw before death was a friend, one who he hated, but loved above all. He died with a smile on his face; he let go of all his worries; ANIMIORE knew that they would meet again; after all, everyone ended the same, in hugs of death.

"Safe travels, my friend. Save a place for me over there, I will join you someday." While holding his best friend's hands, KB_MGM started crying for the first time after thousands of years.

ANIMIOREs body was slowly turning into dust; there was nothing to put in the coffin. In the Doom verse, ruled by the Doom master himself, there is no place for weaklings to be buried. After death, their names will be forgotten in the flow of time. Even their souls can't find peace after death… "But that's a secret for now. Wait, and after some time, you will see what happens to souls." Someone's hand had written this text, someone who stands beside Doom's master, a Figure also known as The Historian, a man who is holding every document and secrets of Doom verse.

[Hanz]

Hanz, while the viewers applauded, announced as such "The winner of this truly dramatic duel is KB_MGM, Demon and hero. He stabbed his opponent in the heart. He may proceed to the next battle"

[Doom Master]

With great interest, he was watching this fight and, without losing even a second, commented, "You know, Hanz, this battle was magnificent; we saw quite a rare view, and I learned one lesson. Sometimes, not everything we see is right; there seems to always be a deeper meaning. After all, this angel stayed the demon friend, and he understood his errors"

Doom master sighed and laid down on his throne, looked at the arena and saw how the giant demon was crying and growling.

"Faith is playing with us and we may never know what comes next." He paused and sighed, even though he didn't remember what was hurting his heart so much. After some time, he continued, "Even I, who can control Doom, cannot understand the flow of faith; turns of faith are too unfair" Doom master looked at the sun he made by himself and started thinking about something deep, perhaps.
