After Natasha was taken away from the arena the competitors lined up again ready to continue the competition. The crowd was quiet all anticipating the next match, Chiron looked down at the fighters each one brave and special in their own and unique way. The small Egyptians supporters were proud of their comrades for making it this far, the Romans knew that they would have the most competitors making it to the end, and the Greeks had all their hopes on their heroes it was their home turf and no one but a Greek should win the Gladiatorum this year. It was now Derrick's turn to challenge someone, it was supposed to be his sister but she was eliminated by Aaron so now he will challenge Aaron and get his revenge for Mike and Natasha.
"Derrick James son of Demeter who will you challenge?" asked Chiron
"I will challenge Aaron Madison." Said Derrick stepping forward
"Aaron Madison son of Apollo do you accept the challenge?" asked Chiron
"No!" Replied Aaron
Everyone in the crowd gasped, the other competitors all looked at Aaron. You could deny a challenge but no one ever did before it was a sign of disrespect and to some weakness. There was a slight smile on Aaron's face as he looked at Derrick, Derrick had a shocked looked on his face he was sure Aaron would accept no one has ever said no before.
"Err very well then, Derrick who do you wish to challenge this time?" Asked Chiron
"I…I…challenge Diana Knight." Said Derrick
"Diana Knight daughter of Zeus do you accept?"
"I do!" she replied
As the other competitors left, Aaron kissed Diana on her cheek and walked past Derrick and winked. After everyone else had left the horn blew and both the competitors charged at each other. Diana used her spear and slashed at Derrick, who blocked with his shield. Derrick countered with his sword but Diana side stepped and slashed again. Derrick blocked, took a step back and went in for another slash, Diana blocked with the frame of her spear and went in for a stab but derrick side stepped and countered with his shield. He smacked Diana with the side of the shield, she stumbled back a bit and Derrick went in for a slash. Diana rolled to the left and ended up behind Derrick she spun her spear and charged it up with electricity, Derrick turned around but it was too late Diana blasted him with a jolt of lightning sending Derrick flying and landing with a loud thump.
10...9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…0 AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH
The crowed roared as the countdown ended, everyone loved seeing Diana use her lightning it was one of those sights that never gets old it amazes you and dazzles you. Diana raised her spear and the crowed loved it everyone was on their feet and chanting her name. As the crowed settled down the other competitors joined Diana.
"Robyn Black who do you wish to challenge?" asked Chiron
"I challenge Aaron Madison." She said
"Aaron Madison son of Apollo, do you accept?" asked Chiron
"I do." Said Aaron
As soon as everyone left the match immediately started, Robyn took out her twin swords and charged at Aaron. Aaron just stood there waiting for her to come, once Robyn was close she slashed with one of her swords but Aaron side stepped, Robyn slashed with her other sword and Aaron ducked under the sword and rolled to the right of Robyn. Robyn stepped back and took a deep breath; she went in again and started to slash at Aaron. Aaron side stepped the first couple of attacks but then rolled to the side when one of Robyn's attacks connected with his shoulder.
"Ha what's wrong?" taunted Robyn
"Oh you know I'm just bleeding." Responded Aaron
"I'm going to crush you no more playing around!" said Robyn
"What you got a crush on me? Sorry but I already have a girlfriend." Responded Aaron
Robyn turned red and let out a violent scream, she stabbed the ground with both of her swords and whispered serve me! The ground shook and cracks appeared, from out of the ground skeleton warriors climbed out. In total 16 skeleton warriors appeared before Aaron all ready to chop him up into pieces.
"Interesting, well played bringing them out, so you basically need undead help in order to beat me is that it?" taunted Aaron taking out his magic bow
"Attack him!" Said Robyn
The skeleton warriors charged at Aaron, Aaron fired his light arrows and every time one connected the undead warrior fell into dust, one of the warriors came from Aaron's left and tried to attack. Aaron rolled out of the way and fired an arrow at the warrior, the others attacked like a hoard of zombies but Aaron turned all of them into dust. Robyn snuck behind Aaron while he was fighting her undead army, Robyn raised her sword and was about to attack when Aaron rolled out of the way, swept her off her feet and fired two arrows at her, knocking her out.
"I saw your shadow when you were sneaking up behind me, the sun gave you away." Said Aaron to an unconscious Robyn, "Next time watch were your shadow is."
