Marvelous Angel
Chapter: Fifty three
Enter: The contest
Sakaar
"Ido, Ido," said Grandmaster "Oh, yes the doctor and fixed of sorts." Then called out "Ido, you have a guest whom is looking for you."
Behind Alita a man comes from out of the shadows. He hated the Grandmaster a flamboyant asshole, but at the moment there is nothing he can do to escape which he has on his neck a disk that keeps people under the Grandmaster under his control.
"Alita," gasped Ido
"Hello Father," smiled Alita
"Father, huh...well this is interesting." Smiled Grandmaster "Your daughter looks like a warrior unlike you of course. But don't worry you are useful."
"What makes you think she will be in your sick games," growled Ido?
"For fun and entertainment," said Grandmaster "You should know that by now."
"It's all right Father," said Alita "How about we up the stakes a bit."
"Do tell," smiled Grandmaster "I'm all ears."
"How about a battle royal." said Alita "All the fighters you got."
"And the winner faces my personal champion." Said Grandmaster "Just so you know he had never, ever been defeated." Then continued to speak "You know what I like this idea, glad I thought of it."
"I'll take them all on." said Alita "If I win, you will free me and my father. Deal."
"Only if you win, so it's a deal" said Grandmaster "Now I will set this up as it will take a day or so. Why don't you two have a family reunion or whatever. Scrapper you can have them stay in your quarters."
"Fine whatever," she said. "Let's go, you two."
Wordlessly Alita and Dyson Ido follow the woman out of the Grandmaster's main room. Both Father and daughter have a lot to discuss.
Scrapper's Quarters
The woman known as Scrapper went to the bar she has in her place to get a drink for herself. Alita and Dyson Ido sat down on a couch, they had no words at first until they embraced and hugged for a long time, Scrapper wanted to just vomit over this mushy stuff and kept on drinking.
"I searched for you," said Ido "But I never gave up hope, that I would one day see you again."
"My thoughts, we on you everyday for the past 70 years." Said Alita
"Alita, 70 years." Said Ido "Where did you end up."
"Earth's second world war." said Alita "Is it still 2563."
"Oh boy," sighed Ido "And it's 2566, things are still the same. You are still a beacon of hope."
"Just being an Avenger." Said Alita
"A what," spoke a confused Ido
"It's a long story, a lot has happened to me and oh get this I have a god son." smiled Alita
"A god son," startled Ido
"Yes," nodded Alita "It's best to give you the full story."
Alita began to explain her adventures in World War Two when she arrived helping out the allied forces battling Hydra and other evils. Which she inspired others to fight on and after the war the Nazi and Hydra members were all hunted down.
When the war ended, she helped out in various ways and the world changed thanks to get. The fan fair was a little overwhelming at first, but got used to it. She told him, she laid low for a time, but went out in the world to explore and helped in events.
Then of course she helped found the Avengers, with her god son Tony, Rogers, Banner, Natasha, Clint, Thor son of Odin. The name Odin aroused Scrappers interest and Alita mentioned they took on sever threats. Of course she went solo to help out the 10th realm. Then goes on and on about more stories, until she was done.
"I think I need a drink, yikes." said Ido "The man you mentioned Loki, he was found by people loyal to Nova and brought to Zalem. After that I never knew what became of him."
"Nova did controlled him." said Alita "Now how did you get here."
"I heard Zapan was involved some sort of experiment," said Ido "Nova's handy work, so I tracked him down and we fought, only to be sucked away by some beam that came from Zalem and after which I found myself here. I don't know what became of Zapan afterwards."
"Nova is still obsessed over me," growled Alita "I'm not surprised."
"How do you know Odin." asked the woman?
"We've met before," said Alita "He us gone now and we had fought Hela."
"Hela," slowly spoke the woman
"She's dead." Said Alita
"Good," growled the woman
"Your a Valkyrie, are you." said Alita "A survivor that fought Hela."
"And what if I am." sighed the woman
"Then you are a force of good," said Alita "But all I see is a weak-minded fool who rather drink away your problems."
"Don't test me," snarled the woman
"Odin, said Valkyrie's were powerful warriors." said Alita "But you seem to be a lapdog for the Grandmaster."
"I told you." Snarled the woman "Don't test me."
Alita and the woman stand nose to nose, until the woman tried to throw a punch, but missed and landed flat on her face. Only to belch and look up at Alita. The battle angel shook her head to feel sorry for the former Valkyrie and went back to sit down next to Ido.
"To throw a punch like that proves my point," said Alita "Your past your prime," then she turned to Ido "What do you know about these games."
"It's a fight," said Ido "To live, thrive, and survive. Great warriors have come and gone. The Grandmaster's champion is powerful, but honorable. To face him is to face death."
"He hasn't faced me, yet." said Alita "Don't worry I will be on my guard."
"Hah, you are being cocky to take on the Grandmaster's champion." Said the woman "He has never been defeated, I should know I tried and lived to tell about it."
"Were you sober or drunk." Said Alita
"Screw you." Growled the woman.
"Until you sober up, you can screw yourself." said Alita.
"I don't trust the word of the Grandmaster." Said Ido "You should not have made a deal with him, he won't honor it."
"I know," said Alita "I have a plan to escape just in case he doesn't honor the deal."
"You need a ship to escape." Said the woman.
"Let's say I have one that's carefully hidden." Smiled Alita.
"Bah, it won't work." said the woman.
"Then you are a coward with no honor, some warrior you were." said Alita "Go hide in the bottle bitch."
"Better get ready for the battle royal." Said Ido "The contest of champions is very brutal."
"I'll be ready." Nodded Alita
The Arena: Day later
There are many warriors that have assembled in the arena, which is very large and in the stands had thousand upon thousands of people most of them are not human. All over Sakaar this is being broadcasted as the battle royal of champions and the winner of that faces the Grandmaster's own champion. If they win, they win their freedom.
"I welcome you to the first ever Battle royal of champions," spoke the Grandmaster over the holographic intercom "All the warriors have assembled and with out newest addition...uh! What's her name again?" Then paused "The battle angel...stupid name, but it works. Now, begin."
So the battle royal starts.
