Coliseum and our control is slipping .
Ryan pov
It's been a week now and me and Luka are waiting for our match. To be honest I'm just a wee bit nervous, not the competition but the fact that many people are going to watch us fight. Normally I would be fine, something tells me either something is going to go wrong or I'm missing something. And being stalked by not just one but at least 6 people definitely isn't helping it. We tried confronting them but somehow they kept getting away. Although that might have to do with the fact that we try to chase them in large crowds, why were five humans stalking us was the question. Oh well.
We also might be starting our transformation soon to our darkness. You see, since we both technically have the more powerful monster DNA in our blood, with mom included (Alipheese the 1st) our transformation will happen in the future soon. If I had to guess, our bodies need a boost of dark energy, so if I'm right then when we reach succubus village and the Purple Sabbath happens that will be the time when it's complete. But for now it's time for the tournament.
"So what's the game plan?" Luka asked.
"It's going to be a fairly simple one. If there is a human pair try to end the fight quickly and same thing with monster pairs too. If I had to guess, the only real threats will be anyone who makes it to the finals." I said, getting a nod from Luka. I sighed only wondering how long we have to be in this waiting room for. Apparently not long as in 12 minutes a guard calls us over.
"Mr. Luka, Mr. Ryan please enter the arena. Good luck." He said before we walked towards the entrance of the arena.
Walking out to the noise of the crowd going wild I imminently noticed some of the comments the crowd was saying.
"Wow what cute little boys!" One yelled
"I wonder how there going to get raped!?" another yelled. If the amount of eyebrow twitching was any induction, then you would know I'm pissed!
On the other side two Dullahan girls stepped out. "Wow it's the Dullahan Twins!" some of the audience members screamed. "Those two should be happy to go down to such great warriors!"
"Oh look sister, two cute little 'warriors'. One for both of us~" The one on the left said.
"I agree! I'll take the purple haired one and the other one is yours." the right one said, licking her lips. They looked hungrily at us before noticing we weren't moving. "Oh, are you scared? Don't worry let us seasoned warriors take care of you~" She said again as bright lights were shone before the crowd started yelling the words 'Rape! Rape! Rape!' over and over again.
They sauntered over to us and one attempted to push me down. Key word 'attempted'. I grabbed her by the wrist before locking eyes with her. I don't know what the hell she saw but whatever it was, was going to haunt her forever. Deciding to just end it I threw her towards her sister causing her to let go of Luka who was also doing the same I was doing and crash into each other.
Silence… just pure silence. The lights turned off, the crowd was watching but most of all the Dullahans were scared, no. Terrified. "Give up…" I said softly but in a warning tone of voice. The Dullahans took a different way out… running the hell out of the arena. We didn't stick around long before the sound of booing was heard in the crowd. And from there it spiraled down. The humans we did fight pretty much just wanted to get their dicks wet and were just plain weak. Any opponent we fought was either taken down by a single push into a wall or a chop to unconsciousness. Didn't get a positive reaction from anyone in the crowd, but we didn't give a shit.
After about ten more matches of pure 1 minute fights we were at the semi finals and the queen came to check on us.
"How are you two faring?" The queen asked, walking into our waiting room. We weren't tired or anything so we were just playing goldfish with Uno cards.
"Fine, but DAMN! When you said it was bad, I wasn't expecting this. I guess the others you asked have lost?" I say, only receiving a nod in return.
"And to make the problem worse is that there are at least 2 other warriors here that seem to be very strong. The undefeated champion has returned and she seems to have an equally strong warrior with her. " She says before I wave her down.
"Don't worry about it. We got this. And if I remember, we aren't supposed to be allowed information on our opponent." I said. The queen looked like she wanted to say something but decided against it and left the room.
We were soon called for our next match. Once we left the voices in the crowd seemed to be eager for something. I also noticed a familiar aura next to Yasaka and Alice, but the words of the crowds are starting to play with fire.
"Man these two boys are amazing! But I want to see their faces in ecstasy!" One young woman yelled.
"Yeah I agree! There so cute and handsome, but I would rather see them writhe underneath by one of the girls!" An older woman said. At this point sparks were flying from me and the wind seemed to pick up around Luka.
"Hey why don't you two lose? If you do, I bet it will feel real good~" Another woman seductively yelled. And the comments got worse from there. I've just about had it with these people and the sad thing is we saw some males in the crowd try and speak up only to get shut down by the women. LUCKILY our opponents arrived. It was the Cerberus and another Dullahan.
"Hey look two boys worth raping!" the head on the left of the Cerberus girl said.
"Then we'll let you come as much as you want!" The one in the middle said.
"The audience will enjoy it!" the last one said. At the word audience through the crowd started to chant again. The Dullahan meanwhile seemed indifferent, but just stared at us with her sword drawn
"What brutes…" She muttered not like anyone heard her besides me and Luka. Glad to see at least one person that isn't thinking with their hormones. The match starts and the Cerberus instintaly charges at Luka. Calmly moving his body out the way of her charging. The Dullahan, not wasting any time, rushes forward and slashes horizontally at me. Sighing I do the same as Luka weaving out of the way of her strike.
"Time for some fun!" Cerberus leaps at Luka in an attempt to knock him down only to find herself thrown across the arena floor with a push from Luka.
"Take this!" The Dullahan says once again going for a horizontal strike only to be met by air. "Huh? Where di- GAH!" Dullahan says before she too was knocked across the ground by a chop from me. They both barely can even move. People arrived from one of the entrances and took both the Dullahan and the Cerberus away.
"Damn… we knew we couldn't defeat Kyuba, but to lose to humans…" Cerberus says before fainting. Not caring much we left the arena only to hear things that are starting to piss us off to the max.
"Man, I was hoping those two would get raped." a young girl said maybe no older than 12.
"I know honey, but don't worry they're sure to lose against Kyuba and her friend." said what sounded like the mother of the child.
"Tsk! Those little brats! I say they just give up. They're strong, but they ain't winning against Kyuba. I paid for a good show, not some brats who can fight!" another woman said, which got a bunch of the crowd supporting her. Before I could snap Luka gripped my shoulder and pulled me towards the exit.
Now here we are again in the waiting room, but we aren't in the slightest good mood. I was shooting lighting from my fingertips at random things and Luka was channeling Sylph's power and using it to redirect my lighting at the same spot over and over again. But suddenly there was a knock at the door. Three people entered the room. It was Yasaka, Alice, and Tamamo which was weird since she wasn't even supposed to be here.
"Hey… wow uh you guys ok?" Alice asked, noticing the lightning flickering around the room. "Actually, scratch that. I know you're not ok." Alice finished before slithering over to Luka.
Tamamo and Yasaka walked over and rubbed my back, careful not to be shocked by my lightning. With their help we eventually cooled down. "What's wrong? I've never seen you so worked up over something." Tamamo asked us both.
"Nothing, just the crowd's stupidity honestly." Luka sighed. "I'm just glad it's almost over. Anymore and we might just snap." He said.
Sighing to myself I felt oddly weird. My body was doing something and whatever it was my body fully accepted slowly but surely. "So what did you guys want? I know that you didn't come all the way here to cheer us on."
"I was going to say you should forfeit…" Alice says before both of us narrowed her eyes at her "but I think you two would still go anyway. Just be careful…" She says. I raised my eyebrow until I realized Yasaka and Tamamo were nodding at her words. Me bro locked eyes before we smirked. Luka grabbed Alice's face before giving her a kiss right on the lips. I quickly kissed Yasaka on the lips, followed by kissing Tamamo's lips.
We got called for our next match and hightailed it out of there leaving behind 3 blushed monster girls.
"LUKA/RYAN!" We heard them yell,but unfortunately for them we were already outside in the arena. And waiting there was Kybua or more accurately Alma elma. And her partner? Well it was Granberia of all people.
"Well if it isn't Luka-boy and Ryan~. How unexpected to meet in a place like this." Alma giggled, but that last sentence was a lie.
"Hmm… I see you have gained two spirits, Sylph and Gnome correct?" Granberia said with her arms crossed.
"Heh! You bet! So what are you two doing here? Actually, the better question is ``why are you here Granberia?" Luka asked, making the succubus queen pout.
"Simply put, Alma told me about this tournament and that there is a high chance of meeting you two again. Besides, fighting you is more interesting than training." She says, picking up her sword and pointing it at Luka. "Come on Luka! Let's see how stronger you've gotten!" to which Luka responded by getting his own sword and getting into his stance.
"Oh? It seems Granberia is ready to start. Well then if that's the case…" Alma says before looking towards me licking her lips "Let's have some fun Ryan!" And with that the battle began.
Alma tried to close the distance between me fast enough to pin me, but with a quick side step I avoided her before grabbing her tail as she flew by and yanking her across the stadium. I took a quick glance at where the other two were fighting to see sparks flying between them.
{Bro remember, we're trying not to show our whole hand yet. Besides, we still have 'watchers'.} I told him telepathically.
{Got it.} He says before I pay attention back to my fight to see Alma getting up from the ground.
"Well that hurt. Why do you have to be so mean Ryan" Alma said, pouting, getting an eye roll as a response.
"Yeah yeah, you're fine. If it makes it better I'll kiss all your injuries after this is over." I said sarcastically. I rushed in going for a palm strike only to miss and feel a hand on my crotch. I pushed her off before palm striking her away.
{Bro. Switch?} I asked, getting a nod. We were back to back with both heavenly knights rushing in and just as they got close we swapped. Granberia received a kick to the side and Alma needed to dodge out of the way. Not letting them catch their breath, we continued on with our assault ducking and weaving when they attacked. Obviously we still had to take damage that way it wasn't too suspicious we were hiding our strength, but anyways after about 10 mins they pull back.
"Well as fun as this was, I said that is enough." Granberia says sheathing her sword.
Though Alma wasn't happy about this. So what did she do… she buried my face into her boobs. Really? "But I don't wanna stop!" Alma says probably pouting, I couldn't tell with my situation.
"Alma you're not a big baby let him go and come on. Luka you better get stronger the next time I see you ok?" Granberia tells Luka.
"You got it!" He says excitedly.
"Finnee~" Alma says letting me go and walking towards Granberia but not before kissing me and whispering "Next time, we are going to have some fun~ So look forward to it~." She says sauntering away shaking her hips before she and Granberia disappeared.
Silence was heard around the arena. "Well that happened…" And just like that me and Luka won the tournament although we noticed something very different about the audience. Tamamo, Alice, and Yasaka were gone.
We arrived back at the castle and we still have not seen the girls. Now we are worried and just hoped they were ok.
"Thank you! Since taking the throne, I have never experienced such happiness. Finally a warrior or I guess warriors were able to win!" The queen said excitedly.
"T-Thank you…" It was kinda awkward seeing the queen so happy while we're worried about the others.
"Now for the prize, the royal treasure, the green orb." She said handing us a bag which had some gold coins and the green orb. "If you're ever in the area please stop by. I would welcome the hero who made my dream come true anytime." She said before a soldier walked in.
"Your majesty. I have a letter for and Mr. Ryan." the soldier said, handing us a letter before leaving. Looking at the letter we decided to open it.
It read "Hello , Mr. Luka how's your day? I'll tell you mine, it was wonderful! Seeing your matches was splendid. Now you may not know who I am, but I believe you met some of my 'acquaintances' in the forest sometime last week. I honestly wasn't expecting five fully grown men to lose to two little boys, especially some cute and handsome ones. So here's the catch: I have some of your friends/lovers with me. It's not nice. I had to use so many things to 'convince' them to come with. I honestly just want to talk and maybe strike a deal perhaps, but I would hurry. Not going to lie, you have some very cute and beautiful girls and I think my men might just 'play' some games with them soon if you don't hurry. Ta ta now. The place I want to meet is at the abandoned shops on the east side of Grand Noah.
Xoxo your friendly admirer.
3rd pov
Silence. If the room was bright and sunny, it suddenly dropped to sub zero in a heartbeat. Then there was anger, no. Not anger, hatred and so much of it. The guards, the people, the queen, everyone who was even 5 yards were shivering with a sense of sky darkened while thunder seemed to roll in from seemingly nowhere. The queen had it worse though since she was in the room where it was originating from. Ryan and Luka were frozen stiff but their bodies were flaring with unknown energy to even themselves but they didn't care. Calmly they walked towards the exit of the castle, but with the aura around them it was more like chaos and the promising of death.
"I would suggest you get anyone away from the east side of here. Someone's about to pay…" Luka said to the queen before the brothers walked out of the castle and to the east side of town.
10 mins later
The boys came across a big building but were mainly abandoned. Inside they felt the energies of Yasaka, Tamamo, and Alice along with over 30 men inside including additional monster girls. They opened the door to see cages on both sides of the building with monster girls inside them hugging each other while some… had dead monster girls in them.
The place reeked with the stench of dead people, rot, and semen. But that's not where their main attention was. It was in the middle where three people were all tied up on a pole, awake but looking weak. It was Alice, Tamamo, and Yasaka. Before anything else happened a man walked up in front of them. It was the same one from earlier with the minotaur and two frog girls.
"Well hello there, remember me? You probably do. Welcome to our humble abode, what do you think?" He asked as if he was greeting a friend. When they gave him no response sighed. "Looky here kiddos, our boss wanted us to be here on her behalf. So I'm here to tell you the deal sound good? Good."
"Now as you can see we run a very different type of business. And our boss wanted you to be a part of it. So the deal is quite simple really, all you have to do is join us and we'll let them go. If not well… let's just say it can end bad for them. So what do you say? We got a deal right?" He asked, reaching out for both arms.
When the girls saw them reach for the man's hand they were scared that they would actually agree. That was until the man's voice was heard again. Only this time he was screaming his head or a loud snap noise was heard. Both of his arms had been crushed courtesy of Luka and Ryan.
"Why you! Hurt their stupid whores, then make them watch as we have our fill!" The man yelled to other men in the room. When sounds of pain were heard from Yasaka, Tamamo, and Alice it was official. They had signed their death warrants.
(This next scene is a little brutal. And this will be the tip of the iceberg.)
Five men jumped from behind Luka and Ryan only to meet the ends of two blades slashing through their throats. The members around them were shocked when the men fell down, dead. Now even more enraged they all charged at both of the boys hoping to take them down. But it all ended the same. Eight of them were slashed from head to toe. Five were punched so hard that their entire rib cage collapsed.
The men themselves started getting nervous, seeing the one sided slaughter fest. After about eight more were dead at Ryan and Luka's feet they tried to run.
"You're not getting away…" Ryan and Luka said combined. Raising their hands before a yellow energy ball shot out to hit each and every one of the men. Sometimes burning them others were simply disintegrated.
"AHH! Help!" One said before being shot dead.
"Somebody! Anybody! He- AHH!" Another tried to yell before he was no more.
The only one left was the man whose arms got broken by both Luka and Ryan. "M-monsters… you two are true monsters! Pl-please I beg of you, spare me!" The man stuttered out.
Ryan and Luka were silent, their eyes closed. "No. Why should we spare you if you aren't going to spare anyone else? And as for being monsters…" They said before opening their eyes. Ryan and Luka's eyes flaring with power. "WE WILL GLADLY BECOME MONSTERS TO PROTECT THE ONES WE LOVE! ENJOY OBLIVION!" They yell before raising their hands and blasting the man away until there is nothing left.
(Brutal scene is over now) 3rd pov
Ryan and Luka finally stopped knowing there wasn't anyone else who would attack them. Looking around they saw shocked expressions on all of the monster girls' faces. They looked at the scene around them before silently walking over to each of the cages and freeing the monster girls. Once done with that they walked over to where Alice, Tamamo and Yasaka were. All the girls were shocked, terrified, and slightly happy but decided to worry about this later.
Ryan and Luka cut all of them free. Before helping each one get back on their feet (or tail in Alice's case) . The girls wanted to talk about what happened but decided that it would most likely be best if they didn't say anything for now.
Timeskip 3 days
It has been three days and the boys have been somewhat reclusive. After the incident Tamamo said she was going back to Yamatai and to hurry there. After traveling to Yamatai for two days, Yasaka and Alice are worried that Ryan and Luka might not go back to their normal selves, but decided to take matters into their own hands to hopefully snap them out of it with the help of the spirits.
With Ryan (Ryan pov)
I was two yards out sitting on a rock looking out into the distance. I still thought about what happened two days ago and the things we did have been on replay, always hearing the screams of the men. I didn't know why but every time I thought about it the more I noticed I was drawn in by the carnage, the death it was pulling me I was sitting there thinking about it a bit a small doll ran next to me. It was a mud doll to be precise.
"Gnome?" I called out and saw the little spirit behind me holding some else's hand. Yasaka was here too. "What do you guys need?" I asked, not noticing I probably sounded rude. The two quietly walked towards me before Gnome made chairs from the ground on both sides of me. They both took a seat before looking towards me.
"Are you ok? You haven't been acting the way you normally have for the past two days." Yasaka asked, as she put a hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm fine… I guess." I say looking down. Gnome made a gesture towards Yasaka and before I knew it I was being hugged from behind with her tails wrapping around me. Gnome sat down on my lap before looking at me.
"You're not fine. We can tell. Please tell us what's wrong." Yasaka says letting her tails massage and comfort my body in an effort to make me relax. Gnome just turns around from the position on my lap and hugs me.
I didn't know what to do. My mind was in disorder all thanks to what happened. "I guess it's because I'm scared. When I killed those men, I enjoyed it a little. I wanted to make them suffer. But at the same time I'm scared that I will become something I don't want too. A true monster. One that enjoys killing, enjoys suffering." I say letting out some tears. Me and Luka never told anyone, but when we were first getting our powers there were whispers. Whispers that urged for more power, more carnage, bloodshed, and most prominetly destruction. And we did, in that one moment we let some of the whispers shine through.
"I'm worried that if it were to happen again, me and Luka wouldn't hold back and lash out on someone who was never harming or someone we care about. I don't want that!" I say tears slowly falling down. "I don't want to lose anyone, but I don't want them to be scared of me either…"
As the tears kept falling, I felt my head get enveloped by two soft 'pillows' while Gnome decided to shift a little before hugging into my chest. "Don't ever think for a moment that you will become a monster. After all, you have people that would disagree. People like your mother, Lucifina, Alice, Tamamo, and most of all me and your brother. We will always be there for you." Yasaka said, while Gnome wiped the tears out of my eye before hugging me close. I was shaking, tears still threatened to come out before I finally managed to calm myself down.
"I won't forget what I did and I doubt bro will either. But we were right on one thing." I say smiling towards the two. "We will always protect those we love, even if we do something we don't like."
Yasaka smiled before leaning down and giving a kiss to my forehead. And surprisingly Gnome gave me one on my cheek "And we appreciate it and love you too for it. But we don't want you to always resort to this first, ok?" Yasaka said, burying her face on top of my head.
"Ok, I you." I say before Gnome squeezes me with more strength in her hug. "And you to Gnome." I say rubbing the earth spirit's head making her snuggle in closer before we decided to head to sleep just like we were. And got to say this definitely helped me a lot. I wonder if bro is in the same situation I'm in.
Same time with Luka (Luka pov)
I was walking around my mind in the clouds right now. Everytime I close my eyes I see them. The bodies of the dead men, but I didn't feel repulsed. I felt as if I was right and that this death and carnage me and Ryan created was right, but I knew it was wrong. Even still it was drawing us in and I knew if we weren't careful we would be stuck.
Without realizing it I walked into a forest clearing. I saw a big tree right in the middle and decided to sit under it. Before I knew it the wind started picking up before Sylph popped out of my head. And just as I was going to say something Alice slithered into the clearing and up to me.
"What are you doing?" I asked them both. Alice sighed before slithering next to me and sitting down.
"Better question is what are you doing?" Alice said, looking at me with her arms crossed.
"Yeah! You've been all down since… you know. But still!" Sylph shouted. I sighed not knowing what to say.
"It's fine, really I just need to think about everything." I said looking down.
"Luka, you and Ryan have been saying that for the past two days now. I have to ask. Are you regretting killing those men?" Alice asked.
"NO!" I snapped back looking at her before realizing what I had done. "Sorry… but no I don't regret it. But at the same time I took someone else's life and what the final man said got to me." I remember what the man said to me and Ryan.
"M-monsters… you two are true monsters!"
What he said hit harder thanks to the whispers we always hear when channeling our dark energy. It was thanks to this I began to think, 'am I… a monster? Or am I hiding one ready to break out at any given moment?'
The feeling of being wrapped around brought me to my senses. Alice had wrapped my legs and was hugging on to me, while Sylph hugged my arm. "You're not a monster. A monster in the sense of what that man said is one that enjoys killing. You don't. I simply think that you are confused. You're confused because you don't know if what you did was the right thing to do even though a part of you says it's right." Alice spoke in a soft tone causing me to shake everything she said was true.
"You've got friends Luka. Me, Gnomey, Alice, Yasaka, and Ryan. We won't let anything happen to you, and if you feel as if you're becoming a monster then it's our job to help stop you and make sure alright." Sylph said, I couldn't take it any more I started crying. All the repressed feelings about what I had done, I couldn't hold it back. I cried and cried until eventually I stopped, but was too tired to move.
"Thank you. Both of you…" And before I know it I feel myself falling asleep, not before feeling pulled back into Alice's chest and the wind making a gentle breeze around us.
Alice pov
As we watched Luka fall asleep I pulled him into my chest. I had only one real question to ask him, but that will have to wait. After all, I want to know if what he and Ryan said was true. But unfortunately Sylph was here so I didn't want to ask for now. 'He is so cute when he is asleep,' I thought before curling up more around him and falling asleep.
And that's a wrap folks! Man alright so a couple things to say before we sign off.
I originally planned on making Luka and Ryan take their first kills much later. Yes it was going to happen since when I meant things are getting serious I meant it.
I might start doing flashback chapters right after Yamatai so look for those.
Ryan and Luka will be getting power soon from a very well known series.
Also they will get different weapons (which I am still deciding) somewhere after getting Undine.
Uh that's about it. I hope to see you guys in another chapter. So without further delay this is Gamerwriter signing off.
