The two dragons embraced each other. It was such a good news to know that they weren't going to kill each other anymore! And, most of all, it also was great to know that he wasn't going to kill the darker by his own, that he was going to be helped. And he didn't care if he had to spare the money: he just needed some money to get out of Warfang.

"You might get ready now, fighters..."

Mister Bourgoistic pushed a button next to him and, a few seconds after, pant of the arena's wall got down, letting a big hole that let to a dark and long corridor.

"Now, release Alagar!"

And a long silence came. Even the public didn't say a word. Finally the fight against the darker was going to happen! Finally some were going to see the darker! Finally the true final was there! Finally!

Then, a metallic noise, like if a big cage was opened, resonated through the dark corridor... And a guttural groan… A step… and another…

They all retained their breath… All except Bourgoistic, Money Bag, Oster and Ironhorns. This last was even more ready than ever…

And the steps became more and more fast and audible. Another guttural groan!

"It has been a great tournament. But now's the final. So, Oster, Ironhorns, you know what to do..."

He smiled before finishing:

"Kill! KILL! KILL!"

Qualt looked at the corridor… and could see a form coming closer. A big form.

"I think that the fact we're two is good, seeing what's coming", said the assassin.

"Yyyup!"

The steps resonated and they were heavy and becoming louder and louder. In the darkness, the form became more and more distinct. And Qualt and Oster could, then, see two shiny and terrifying mad and yellow eyes. And the darker roared and rushed when he saw his two new preys!

The two dragons put themselves in position, Oster ready to use his claws and fangs, and Qualt the paw on one of his horns.

"Come here, you fucking darker..." he murmured.

And he came into the light, where everyone could see him. He was twice as big and muscular as a normal dragon, with lots and lots of dark yellow scars on his entire sombre scarlet body: on his tail, his legs, near his terrifying claws, his chest, his wings, his head… Multiple horns were coming from his chin, just as his arms and his sides. He spread his lips in a smile, letting everyone see his sharp and dirty fangs. Then, in the Qualt's head resonated the fatidic word…

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome in the arena… ALAGAR!"

And the whole public became noisy again.

Ironhorns took out the dagger he was holding.

"Ready?" he said to his companion.

"Let's kill some darker!" answered Oster.

Then Alagar rushed on them, a dark orange aura in his mouth. And, once he was close to them, he vomited his dark fire. Oster dodged. Qualt protected himself by creating with his free paw a shield of ice. It worked… but he still got touched by the fire at the end. And it was extremely painful. But that didn't stop him. Indeed, after the darker stopped spiting his fire, the ice dragon jumped on him with the intention to stab him. The darker saw that and tried to slash him. Qualt dodged at the last second and could then hit him! He began the move but was interrupted: Alagar, with his other paw, tackled him by the neck to the ground. Then Oster jumped on the darker and punched him on the face, freeing Qualt by the occasion!

Alagar groaned and then was about to use his element on the assassin. But Qualt used his one in the face after quickly getting up! Milhrio rushed on the chest and planted his claws! Then he was repulsed by the strength of his adversary right into the wall. This let the time to Ironhorns to create a gauntlet of ice and to jump on him! And he touched the right place: the horns on the chin were now broken! Alagar yelled but then took the ice dragon in his claws and violently threw him on the assassin! With the brutal landing, Qualt let out his iron horn on the ground.

Both, then, got up with difficulies after that but they were still okay. Unfortunately, the darker was now really close. He took the ice dragon by the throat and an aura came in his dark red arm. And it began to be hot… and hotter. Qualt groaned for the terrible pain it was causing him. But he took his other dagger and planted it on the Alagar's left front paw! This one, by that, let him, and the assassin took the other ice dragon dagger-horn and planted it near the other and began to slash the arm! The darker yelled and punched the assassin to the ground as his yellow blood was slowly flowing on the arm. Qualt took the opportunity and rushed on his daggers to, finally and brutally, hack the paw! Alagar roared and spat his dark fire at the same time on the ice dragon, who couldn't retain the pain and yelled. He also was bleeding. Milhrio, who quickly got up after that, too.

The darker, then, rose in the air with the strength of his wings. So did Ironhorns, after putting his horns back where they had to be, and Oster. And the fight continued. They turned around each other… but Alagar was aggressive and rushed multiple time on the two dragons, using his element on them and vice versa! And, at one moment, Qualt was too slow. Milhrio saw that and rushed on him to push him before the darker close his claws on him! He saved him at the last second, being scratched by the horns on the side a bit deeply, which made the two fall on the ground.

It then was a golden opportunity to the red darker, who smiled and rushed on his preys with a roar! Qualt got up and saw that. He didn't have much time to react. So he created another ice shield to protect him and the assassin. It broke at the impact! And Alagar planted the claws of his last front paw on the Ironhorns' shoulder at the same time, tackling him to the ground. The ice dragon was terribly suffering… but, now that the darker had no more free front paw, he took his right horn-dagger and used his element to create a longer blade. Alagar was, then, about to close his fangs on him.

And he struck!

Yellow blood flowed on his face as the blade was now stuck right into the Alagar's throat.

Qualt Ironhorns, then, moved away before the body could fall on him. And let's say that it was painful when he had to brutally got the claws on his shoulder out. So, after that, he broke the ice, replaced his iron horn and went close to Milrhio Oster to help him getting up.

The silence was now total.

The two were really injured by this fight, they were bleeding a lot, they were feeling dizzy, they were out of breath, they had difficulties to walk…

But they were happy.

They won the fight against Alagar.
