/Max and Monica are now in Palm Brinks of the future. There, they are
watching a dark event called the Tournament of Power, where one of the
fighters could be the dark energy Griffon once had. In ring, a young,
upcoming fighter named Cain won the first preliminary round and advanced
into the tournament. He then went against Shiro, a 79 year-old ninja with a
sneaky disappearing move. Thanks to some fast thinking, and some confetti,
Cain was able to see Shiro, even with the trick used, and defeat him with a
ring out. Now Cain rests near the ring, waiting for his next fight./
Chapter 3
Garr vs. Cain!
Fire vs. Darkness!
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..." Cain's loud snoring couldn't be heard over the cheering and banter of the Tournament fans and monster crowds. In the ring, a man-like bird monster with giant black wings was fighting, and winning against a red fire lizard monster. The announcer was there, as always.
"And Birgon is flying towards Emberous at an amazing speed!!!" The announcer shouted.
Birgon, he bird monster drew out a sword and tried to slash Emberous in half. But the lizard shot out of his mouth, a small fire ball. It hit Birgon and made him lose flight. His chest feathers caught on fire and he quickly beat it out with his talons. The lizard fired again, but this time, Birgon, dodged. The blaze flew towards the sleeping Cain.
He move just enough so that the fire didn't hit him, but hit the wall. A tiny spark struck his hair and a little follicle's tip caught a slight ember. Cain slowly opened his eyes and used his thumb and fore finger to put it.
"How's a guy supposed to get sleep 'round here?" He said tiredly.
Birgon and Emberous stood on opposite sides of the ring. Birgon got ready to fly forth when a slight pain in his wing stopped him. "OW!!!" The bird crowed. He looked at his right wing and saw that a feather was missing. Standing outside the ring, Cain had in his hands a large feather.
"Sorry, guy." He said. "Gotta borrow." He walked back to the wall. He folded up the wing to look like a pillow and rested his head on it.
The bird growled in anger and looked at his opponent. A large fire ball hit him and sent him flying into the same wall Cain was resting by.
"Birgon is outta the ring! I'll take a ten count! 1...2...3..."
Birgon got up. "HEY!!! WAIT!!!" He tried to step followed but wasn't able to. Something was holding his tail feathers down. He looked down and saw Cain's foot was on top of them. Cain was peacefully asleep while sitting against the wall. "GET OFF MY FEATHERS!!!" He struggled to get free, but it was not use.
"6...7...8...9... 10!!! Birgon has been counted out! The winner is Emberous!" The crowd cheered and whistled.
"THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!" Birgon protested. He looked down again and saw Cain moved his foot. His feathers were now free. "You... little bast..." That was all he said when Cain, while still asleep, grabbed his neck and started to choke. "Ack...ack!"
"Don't be shouting now..." Cain drowsily said. "The point is you lost, okay. You did your best, now unless you want every last one of your feathers plucked, you'll leave peacefully and let me go back to sleep. Okay?"
"Kay..." Birgon was able to choke out."
"Good..." Cain released his grip and Birgon started to walk towards the exit. Then run, the dash his way out of the arena. "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..." ________________________________________________________________________
Up in the crowd, Max and Monica were still watching the fights.
"Scratch Birgon out," Monica started to said to Max. "He would of killed Cain right there."
"That leaves 6 possible suspects." Max replied. "What's the next fight?"
Monica looked over at the board that the committee was changing. The next fight was the last bracket, "Rota vs. Bekkan." ________________________________________________________________________
"Let's not waste any time!" The announcer shouted into his microphone. "Our next fighters, please come out!"
On cue, 2 new fighters were walking towards the ring. One was a thin, shaggy looking, brown haired human. He wore a grey tank top and green shorts. The other a dark grey tiger man with piercing red eyes. They enter the ring.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr..." The tiger growled with an intimidating tone at the human. The human didn't even blink his green eyes.
"Our next fight will, be the grey tiger, Bekkan, and the hunter, Rota!"
"Kill off that human, Bekkan!" The crowd started to yell. "One human is too much! Kill off the other one, too!"
"Ready... FIGHT!!!"
Bekkan got on all fours and started to run towards Rota, ready to pounce. Rota didn't take a step anywhere. Bekkan leap into the air and was about to attack his opponent. Rota drew out a small, round, marble sized ball and threw into the tigers mouth. In about a second, the tiger exploded in a blast of fire and smoke. The tiny marble was actually a bomb. Rota still didn't take a step. The crowd instantly started booing.
"Well, that was fast... But with weapons like that, who needs a long fight!!!" The announcer shouted excitedly.
The human decided to not stay around. He looked towards the entrance towards the locker room and walked in it, without saying a word.
Cain had one eye open through out the whole fight. He had a determined look on his face. ________________________________________________________________________
It was near the end of Garr's battle against human sorcerer, Mathus. Garr flew into the sky and shot a large blast of fire out of his mouth and towards Mathus. The sorcerer used his magic to shoot a pillar of ice to counter the flames. The two energies met and mid-air and began trying to over power the other.
"Garr's fire and Mathus ice are deadlocked right in the air!" The announcer screamed. "Which one will get through first?"
After a while, the sorcerer fires another ice shot. This causes his energy blast to move closer towards Garr. He smiled confidently as he saw this. However, Garr energy pushed forward and flew towards Mathus. In a split second, the energy collided into Mathus and set him on fire. He screamed in agony as his skin burned away, revealing his skeleton. His bones turned to dust and blew away with the wind.
"Heh...heh..." Cain chuckled as he watched. "Cool!"
"Another incredible victory for the great champion, Garr!!!" The announcer exclaimed.
"YEAH!!!" Garr shouted to his many fans in the audience. They all cheered and chanted his name. "Chalk up another for the Greatest Champ this world has ever seen!!!"
"Yeah!" An audience member shouted. "Garr is the best there is!"
"No one can beat him!" Another one said.
"I will make sure that this title..." Garr holds up his championship belt with pride. "Stays in my hands!"
The crowd cheered even more. The committee changed the board again. The next fights will be... Emberous Vs. Rota, and Cain Vs. Garr. ________________________________________________________________________
Rota walked in the halls of the locker rooms. He walked up to Cain's locker room and looked at it. He had an expression of hatred and anger on his face as he stared.
"Lookin' for me!" A voice shouted. Cain was walking towards Rota. "I know the secret of your little item tricks..." Rota looked at Cain curiously. "You using those cheap toys of your to distract all those idiots out there of your true power! You coulda blasted that tiger to Hell and back with just your energy! But instead, you used some bomb to kill im'. You know what I think... I think you got something to do with this jerk I'm after. Once I find im' I will kill him! But first... I'll kill you! Once we fight in the finals... You better not hold back cause I won't!"
"You must first defeat Garr..." Rota finally spoke. "And I doubt you have the strength or the character to do that..." He walks away, further down the hall.
"What's all this crap 'bout character?"
"Oh my God!!!" A loud piercing voice shouted. Cain turned around and saw a teenage girl about his age with light blue hair standing behind him with a notepad. "You're that fighter everyone's talking about! Cain!"
Cain wolf whistles at the young beauty, even though he focused more on her chest that was covered only in a bikini top. "What's a pretty girl like you doing in a hellhole like this?"
"Will you sign me an autograph?"
"Sure, baby..." She blushed deeply until she felt a tickle on her chest. She looked and saw Cain signing his name on her right breast. "Having a little trouble..." He grinned smugly. "Better hold it straight..."
He then laid his hand on her breast. In a split second, her hand collided into his right cheek. After a loud "SLAP!" he had a red hand mark over his cheek. She stormed off in anger.
"Prev!" She said with disgust."
"I...wasn't finished..." He said in pain. "Can't blame a guy for trying..." ________________________________________________________________________
"The time has come for the Semi-Finals!!!" The crowd roared with cheers and applauds as the announcer exclaimed what would happen next. "In moments, we will have the top 4 competitors dunking it out for advancement to the finals! Our first match will be Emberous vs. Rota! As you may know, the match with the champ in it will be the last match, so the last will be Cain vs. The Great Garr! And get this, Cain and Rota are both humans!!!" When he said that, the crowd booed. "Let's introduce our first 2 fighters!"
Emberous and Rota walked towards the ring with serious looks on their faces. They enter the ring and stood on opposite sides, staring each other down. Rota reached into his pocket and pulled out 3 black marbles. Emberous face started to sweat when he saw the announcer raise his hand.
"Ready..." The announcer lowered his hand and arm. "FIGHT!!!"
Emberous wasted no time, he inhaled some air and fired several fireballs out of his mouth and towards Rota. Rota threw the 3 marbles at the fire and turned all of them in solid ice blocks. They fell to the ground and cracked the cement. Rota then ran towards Emberous and pulled from his pocket a blue marble this time. He threw it at the lizard and hit him in the stomach. Instantly, Emberous' body started to turn to ice and freeze him. Rota clenched his fist and punched his head clean off his shoulders. The ice that was the lizard them turned to shards and fall to the ground like broken crystals.
"Another quick victory for the human Rota! He didn't even break a sweat during this one!"
Rota turned away from the boos and jeers of the monster crowd and walked back into his locker room.
"Okay! Now for the final match of the semi-finals! This will be champ vs. challenger! Let me first introduce the challenger... the human... CAIN!!!"
Even louder boos rang through the crowd. Cain walked towards the ring cussing the fans who hated him. He even made some finger gestures that made them even more hateful. By the time he made it to the ring, the crowd had nearly been in a riot.
"And now... Let's introduce the champion... the most powerful fighter in the world... the great one... Mr. Fire and Power himself... the one.. the only... GARR!!!"
At the entrance, different colored laser beams and lights illuminated the area. A victorious fanfare blared as Garr walked towards the ring. The crowd cheered and hollered when he gave them his signature roar. He looked straight at Cain and gave an angry growl. Cain gave him an confident smile and a slow cut throat.
"It's now time for the semi-finals... We bring to you, Cain vs. Garr! Fighters... ready... and..."
Before he could finish, Cain arm started to glow black. "Time to end your title reign... and your life..."
"FIGHT!!!"
Cain's energy spread throughout his whole body. The aura of darkness rose to the sky. He rushed head strong towards Garr with both fists clenched tight and eyes burning with adrenaline. Just as he was about to throw the punch, Garr blocked it with his right arm. Cain threw another punch with his other fist, but Garr blocked that one with his left arm. He then kicked Cain in the midsection.
"OOF!!!" Cain grunted from the attack. He then saw Garr's fist heading for his face. He blocked that with a cross arm guard. "Try this! AHH!!!" He started to rapidly punch Garr in the stomach. He threw some many punches at a great speed that Garr couldn't block.
Garr grunted in pain with every punched landed. He finally stopped the assault wilt a powerful hay-maker punch that connected hard to Cain's face. Cain was knocked on his back and skidded about 5 feet away from Garr. The dragon rushed towards him and raised his foot above his head.
"Garr want's to finish this!" The announcer shouted. "He's about to stomp on his opponent's head!"
"Arrrrrrrr!!!" Garr brought his foot down to Cain's head. The fighter, however, caught his foot and stood up.
"Have a nice ride!!!" Cain threw Garr by his foot towards the eastern wall. Garr was about to crash into it, until he used his huge wings to fly away the crash point and back towards Cain.
"Brace yourself!!!" Garr clenched his fist for another hay maker punch. When he throw the blow, Cain used his right arm to block it. Garr tried to punch him again, but Cain blocked it. He kept punching will Cain kept blocking. All the blocking made Cain inch closer to the edge of the ring.
"Garr is throwing punch after punch!" The announcer spoke. "But Cain has avoided each blow!"
Cain was now on the edge of the ring. Just when Garr, still flying, threw another powerful strike, Cain fell to his back outside the ring. This means Garr was flying just over him. Cain delivered a powerful kick to the midsection and caused to lose flight and fall face first into the ground. Cain leapt back into the ring and prepared himself for another attack by the champ. ________________________________________________________________________
Max and Monica were still watching the fight.
"I don't get it..." Max spoke up.
"What's wrong?" M\onica asked.
"If that Cain guy can kill whole groups of monsters at once, why doesn't he just do that to Garr?"
"Maybe he can't. He might of exhausted all his energy and can't use those attacks. Remember, the dark energy were after needs time to grow stronger, that's why we need to stop him here."
"Or..." Max wondered. "Maybe it isn't Cain, it might be Garr, or Rota."
"That's a possibility... all 3 of them got great strength. It's what their thinking that worries me right now..." ________________________________________________________________________
Rota watched the right from the fighter's entrance. He saw Garr throw a volley of punches at Cain. But Cain was able to block all of them and counter with crescent moon kicks and jabs. Rota turned and walked further down he hall. A sinister smile crossed his face as he eagerly awaited his match with either Cain of Garr.
"The time is near..." He said to no one but himself. ________________________________________________________________________
Cain and Garr stood in the middle of the ring and exchanged punches in the face.
"Cain and Garr are at a stalemate!" The announcer shouted to the fans. "Garr is punching Cain right in the face, but Cain counters with his own punches!!!"
Garr then gave Cain a powerful gut punch that made him double over in pain. Cain regained his stance and uppercut his opponent's chin. Garr then grabbed Cain by the neck.
"ACK!!!" Cain struggled to get free, but couldn't.
"Say hi to the wall!!!" Garr hurled him into the arena wall.
Cain used his reflexes to land feet first on the wall and spring back into the ring. "HA!!!" He flew into Garr gave him a powerful jab in the right cheek of the dragon. Cain landed next to Garr on his foot and knee.
Garr had a trail of blood escape his mouth and onto the floor. The crowd went into a frenzy. "C'MON GARR!!! KILL THIS HUMAN SCUM FOR US!!!"
Garr kicked Cain in the chest and knocked him out of the ring. "I've had it with you!!!" He opened his mouth and a small orb of fire grew in it.
"This is it folks!" The announcer was excited. "Garr is gonna barbecue Cain into ashes!"
Cain rose to his feet clutching his chest. "Go ahead and try!"
Garr released the fire ball at Cain. He moved out of the way and the fire merely burned the grass. Cain stood atop the wall and just in front of the crowd. Garr fired again. This time, Cain scooped up a human woman in the crowd and jumped out of the way again. The fire burned a few monsters to their deaths and damages the wall.
Cain landed 3 feet away from the destruction and held the woman next to him. "Don't worry... you're safe." He said reassuring. The woman nearly thanked him, until his hand found it's way to her behind and squeezed it.. She turned red with anger and slapped the fighter off the wall and on the grassy ground. "OOF!!!" He shouted when he fell face first.
"PERVERT!!!" She shouted and took a new seat.
"That's the thanks I get for saving you?" He shouted back. HE started to hear the announcer count and ran back to the ring with great speed.
Garr prepared for him and fired a larger blast of fire that headed straight for him. "You can't escape from that!!!"
"Not gonna!" Cain's right arm started to glow yellow. It then formed 3 blades. "BLADES OF LIGHT!!!" He threw the blades at Garr's blast and stopped it from going any further
"The 2 fighter's energies are actually duking it out!!!" The announcer shouted.
After a while both energies vanished and were gone.
"AAAAAHHH!!!" Cain shouted a battle cry as he ran towards Garr.
"ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!!!!" Garr roared as he ran towards Cain at the same time.
In a split second, they were in the middle of the ring, viciously punching each other's head at a speed that could barely be seen. Drops of blood escape both fire's bodies and splattered to the ground.
"I can't even count how many blows have been landed even from this view!!!"
Garr gave on last gut punch that made Cain skid all the way to the edge. "AH!"
Garr took the opportunity. "NOW I HAVE YOU!!!" His mouth formed an even larger blast of fire. He shot it at Cain and watched as it sped towards him
"DAMMIT!!!" Cain cursed. He couldn't move out of the way in time or block it, but he sure wasn't going let it hit him. "I'll take more than my blades to block that..." He thought. "Or maybe..." Both his arms glowed yellow this time, to the shock of Garr. "BLADES OF LIGHT!!!" 6 blades formed at his arms. "YAAAAAAAH!!!" He threw all 6 of them and made contact with the fire. "Please hold it back!!!" The blades and the blaze were pushing each other back and forth. After a while the blades went right through the fire and towards Garr. But his fire was still heading for Cain. "OH... SH..." That was all he could say before the fire struck him and cast him and the area around him in a thick blaze. The fire was so thick, no one could even see him in it. The crowd went nuts with cheers.
"Cain has been hit by fire blast!!!" The announcer exclaimed. "But what about his blades?"
Cain's blades of light flew towards Garr. Before he can moved, 4 of them hit him and started to cut his shoulders, stomach, and leg. They didn't go through him, but they still cut him open. He screamed in agony and pain as they kept spinning. They disappeared and he fell on his back. The blades had left bloody cuts on the body parts they touched, but he was still alive. He rose to his feet and was panting.
"Hah...Hah...Hah..." Garr breathed out. "He has to be dead... no human can survive that..." He smiled confidently at Cain's destruction. But he was soon shocked when he looked at the fire. "WHAT!!!"
A shadow figure walk towards the outside of the fire. It was Cain. His body was slightly singed, his eye swollen shut, and the jacket he once wore was burnt and torn.
"Too bad..." He started to say. "I really liked that jacket..."
The crowds started to boo and jeer at him again. Garr was in disbelief.
"How did you survive that..." Garr was both tired and nervous. He then smiled evilly. "Not bad... for a human..."
"I'm amazed you survive my blades. But you won't this time!" Cain tried to gather some energy into his arms, but nothing happened. "What the..." He was interrupted by Garr's laughter.
"Looks like you're outta energy... Maybe you can still swing your fists around..."
"Like I need my blades to finish you off!"
"You will..." Garr suddenly gathered electric energy in his left claw. In a few second, the energy stopped and a long spear was in his claws. "Hold still... I promise this will hurt!"
Garr rushed towards Cain at full speed. Cain dove to the side to avoid the incoming spear tip. He scrambled away when Garr stabbed his spear into the ground after missing Cain. Cain leapt to his feet and ran away from the dragon while dodging the thrusts of the spear.
"Garr...Garr...Garr...Garr!" The crowd wanted to see Cain dead, and they wanted to see Garr do the job.
"I gotta get away from this freak!" Cain thought to himself. "No..." He stopped. "I don't..." Cain turned towards Garr and ran at him with his fists clenched and screaming his battle yell.
Garr's eye glinted and he prepared to stab Cain. He and his opponent met in the middle of the ring and he drove his spear into Cain's stomach and out his back. Cain threw a powerful punch that connected to Garr's jaw. He heard a loud crack as the dragon's jaw shattered. Garr fell on his back and moaned in pain. Cain looked at the spear that what skewed. He careful grabbed the handle and pulled it out of his stomach. His blood dripped off the tip and onto the ground. He broke the spear into 2 pieces and threw it away.
"Ow..." He merely said as he clutched his stomach. "Damn... that was dumb..." He looked towards the booing crowd. "I'm so tired... I can't think up a witty insult to you bastards..." He then heard Garr's fiery roar and looked towards him.
Garr gave Cain a powerful head butt that sent him flying into the other side of the ring. He laid on his back with a bloodied forehead.
"An amazing comeback!!!" The announcer screamed. "Garr had delivered his trademark Head Butt!"
"Yeah..." Garr said. "No one can survive it... If the impact doesn't kill ya, then all that blood rushing out of your head will..." He saw Cain slowly rose to his knees and was shocked again. "Why won't you die!?"
"Can anything kill this kid?" An audience member shouted.
"Hah...Hah..." Cain was panting and had trouble breathing. "Who says it's my blood..." He wiped off the blood from his forehead and showed that his head wasn't cracked open as Garr had thought.
"What?!" Garr felt his blood fall off his face. He had a large crack on his forehead. "How...did...you..." Garr started to fall to his knees and fell face first to the ground. His eyes turned back into his head to show he was dead.
"I saw you were trying to do that attack to me... so I did a quick counter to crack your skull instead... you idiot... "Cain laughed. "You didn't even see it coming..." He rose to his feet and felt his head. "Still gonna give me a helluva headache tomorrow..."
The crowd was yelling angrily at the murderer of their favorite champion. Cain was the most hated person in the whole arena. He didn't care, he had survived the toughest fight of his life, and felt good knowing his adversary was dead. Or so he thought.
"The winner of this match..." The announcer started to shout. "Ca..." A loud roar interrupted him. "Huh?"
"Don't tell me..." Cain saw that Garr was engulfed by dark flames. "You still alive?"
Garr didn't saw a word he just charged towards Cain and tried to tear him apart with his claws. Cain however jumped into the air and away from Garr. He held out his hand towards him.
"I gotta say..." Cain started to speak. "You surprise me. I never thought I had to do this." Cain's hand started to glow black and form a black ball in his palm. It grew larger.
"WHAT IS CAIN GONNA DO NOW!?!?!?" The announcer jumped out of the ring and hid behind the stone.
"Seeya in Hell." Cain said with a smile.
He fired the energy at Garr and watched as it hit the dragon. The blast nearly destroyed the entire ring, all that was left was a few still impact tiles and cracked stone. Garr was now nothing but dust in the wind.
"Hmm..." The announcer looked as Cain landed on the ground. "Well it's safe to say Garr isn't coming back... so the winner is Cain!"
The crowd was unbelievably silent. Not a word was said or muttered.
"'Bout time they shut up!" Cain looked at his bloody battle wound on his stomach. "Better start fixing this up." The wound started to slowly, but unnoticeably, close up.
"Before we can start the next match... CREW!!!" The announcer shouted and a team of crew members ran to the ring. "Fix this mess!!! And make it quick!!!" The crew immediately started to clean up the rubble and build a whole new ring.
"Looks like I get a little rest..." Cain walked to the wall and fell asleep, resting for the final match of the tournament against Rota. ________________________________________________________________________
After a while, the ring was all fixed and the next fight was almost ready to start. Cain, battle wound healed, was already in the ring, waiting for his next opponent.
"It has all come down to this!!!" The announcer exclaimed. "We had over hundreds, than just 8, now only 2! But only one will become the champion!!! The final match... first, the man who was able to defeat the former champion, Garr..." The crowd immediately booed. "The human... No! The fighter... CAIN LEOHART!!!" The boos were louder than ever. "And the man who had had quick victory after quick victory... Rota!!!"
The crowds' eyes all fell on the entrance. No one arrived however.
"What?" Cain was puzzled.
"Uh... PLEASE WELCOME THE HUNTER, ROTAAAAAAAAA!!!" Still no one arrived. "Um...uh...er... The one...the only... ROTA!!!" At last someone did come. A member of the committee. He ran over to the announcer and whispered in his ear. "What do you mean Rota's missing!?"
The crowd was now muttering in confusion. No competitor has ever simply left the arena before a match.
"Well..." The announcer started. "I guess if you can't find him..."
"I'm the champ by default!!!" Cain shouted excitedly.
"Well... yeah I...guess so..."
The crowd was now shouting in protest. "We'll never let a HUMAN be our champion!!!" "Find a new opponent!!!" "HE HAS TO EARN IT!!!"
Cain was now getting furious. His short patience had dealt with the boos of the crowd for long enough. "SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" His voice rang through the now silent arena. "IF YOU ASSHOLES WANT ME TO FIND A NEW OPPONENT... THEN SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN INSTEAD OF BITCHIN' ABOUT IT!!! YOU ALL WANT ME DEAD? THEN GO AHEAD... TRY TO KILL ME!!!"
The crowd was silent. No one budge or spoke. Only a few mutters could be heard. "Why don't you go and fight him?" "Are you crazy?" "You said you could tear him apart!" :That was BEFORE he killed Garr."
"Grrrrr..." Cain was still angry. "You're all cowards!!! I don't care who or what the hell you are! Get down here and fight me!" ________________________________________________________________________
"He's really gone mad..." Max started to say to Monica. "He really wants to fight."
"Now's our chance!" Monica leapt from the crowd and onto the grass.
"MONICA!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Max shouted.
Monica ran to the ring and looked at Cain. "Hey, Cain!"
Cain turned and looked at Monica. "Damn..." He thought. "She hot."
"You said you'd fight anyone fight? Well what about me?"
"You?" Cain asked incredulously. "Ya sure about that? I might kill ya."
Monica looked at Max. "I'll fight for a long as I can." She said. "You can finish him if I fall."
"Monica..." Max said with a smile. "Good luck!"
Monica smiled and winked at her friend. She looked at Cain again. He was cracking his knuckles.
"Finally..." He said with a cocky smile. "My lungs were starting to hurt from all that shouting. Okay... I accept your challenge!"
/With Rota missing and no one else to fight, Cain will square off against Monica in the final round. Will she be able to defeat Cain, and will he show himself as the dark energy she and Max after looking for. Or is there more to this fighter than it seems?/ ________________________________________________________________________

Cain vs. Monica
True Form Exposed!
Chapter 3
Garr vs. Cain!
Fire vs. Darkness!
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..." Cain's loud snoring couldn't be heard over the cheering and banter of the Tournament fans and monster crowds. In the ring, a man-like bird monster with giant black wings was fighting, and winning against a red fire lizard monster. The announcer was there, as always.
"And Birgon is flying towards Emberous at an amazing speed!!!" The announcer shouted.
Birgon, he bird monster drew out a sword and tried to slash Emberous in half. But the lizard shot out of his mouth, a small fire ball. It hit Birgon and made him lose flight. His chest feathers caught on fire and he quickly beat it out with his talons. The lizard fired again, but this time, Birgon, dodged. The blaze flew towards the sleeping Cain.
He move just enough so that the fire didn't hit him, but hit the wall. A tiny spark struck his hair and a little follicle's tip caught a slight ember. Cain slowly opened his eyes and used his thumb and fore finger to put it.
"How's a guy supposed to get sleep 'round here?" He said tiredly.
Birgon and Emberous stood on opposite sides of the ring. Birgon got ready to fly forth when a slight pain in his wing stopped him. "OW!!!" The bird crowed. He looked at his right wing and saw that a feather was missing. Standing outside the ring, Cain had in his hands a large feather.
"Sorry, guy." He said. "Gotta borrow." He walked back to the wall. He folded up the wing to look like a pillow and rested his head on it.
The bird growled in anger and looked at his opponent. A large fire ball hit him and sent him flying into the same wall Cain was resting by.
"Birgon is outta the ring! I'll take a ten count! 1...2...3..."
Birgon got up. "HEY!!! WAIT!!!" He tried to step followed but wasn't able to. Something was holding his tail feathers down. He looked down and saw Cain's foot was on top of them. Cain was peacefully asleep while sitting against the wall. "GET OFF MY FEATHERS!!!" He struggled to get free, but it was not use.
"6...7...8...9... 10!!! Birgon has been counted out! The winner is Emberous!" The crowd cheered and whistled.
"THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!" Birgon protested. He looked down again and saw Cain moved his foot. His feathers were now free. "You... little bast..." That was all he said when Cain, while still asleep, grabbed his neck and started to choke. "Ack...ack!"
"Don't be shouting now..." Cain drowsily said. "The point is you lost, okay. You did your best, now unless you want every last one of your feathers plucked, you'll leave peacefully and let me go back to sleep. Okay?"
"Kay..." Birgon was able to choke out."
"Good..." Cain released his grip and Birgon started to walk towards the exit. Then run, the dash his way out of the arena. "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..." ________________________________________________________________________
Up in the crowd, Max and Monica were still watching the fights.
"Scratch Birgon out," Monica started to said to Max. "He would of killed Cain right there."
"That leaves 6 possible suspects." Max replied. "What's the next fight?"
Monica looked over at the board that the committee was changing. The next fight was the last bracket, "Rota vs. Bekkan." ________________________________________________________________________
"Let's not waste any time!" The announcer shouted into his microphone. "Our next fighters, please come out!"
On cue, 2 new fighters were walking towards the ring. One was a thin, shaggy looking, brown haired human. He wore a grey tank top and green shorts. The other a dark grey tiger man with piercing red eyes. They enter the ring.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr..." The tiger growled with an intimidating tone at the human. The human didn't even blink his green eyes.
"Our next fight will, be the grey tiger, Bekkan, and the hunter, Rota!"
"Kill off that human, Bekkan!" The crowd started to yell. "One human is too much! Kill off the other one, too!"
"Ready... FIGHT!!!"
Bekkan got on all fours and started to run towards Rota, ready to pounce. Rota didn't take a step anywhere. Bekkan leap into the air and was about to attack his opponent. Rota drew out a small, round, marble sized ball and threw into the tigers mouth. In about a second, the tiger exploded in a blast of fire and smoke. The tiny marble was actually a bomb. Rota still didn't take a step. The crowd instantly started booing.
"Well, that was fast... But with weapons like that, who needs a long fight!!!" The announcer shouted excitedly.
The human decided to not stay around. He looked towards the entrance towards the locker room and walked in it, without saying a word.
Cain had one eye open through out the whole fight. He had a determined look on his face. ________________________________________________________________________
It was near the end of Garr's battle against human sorcerer, Mathus. Garr flew into the sky and shot a large blast of fire out of his mouth and towards Mathus. The sorcerer used his magic to shoot a pillar of ice to counter the flames. The two energies met and mid-air and began trying to over power the other.
"Garr's fire and Mathus ice are deadlocked right in the air!" The announcer screamed. "Which one will get through first?"
After a while, the sorcerer fires another ice shot. This causes his energy blast to move closer towards Garr. He smiled confidently as he saw this. However, Garr energy pushed forward and flew towards Mathus. In a split second, the energy collided into Mathus and set him on fire. He screamed in agony as his skin burned away, revealing his skeleton. His bones turned to dust and blew away with the wind.
"Heh...heh..." Cain chuckled as he watched. "Cool!"
"Another incredible victory for the great champion, Garr!!!" The announcer exclaimed.
"YEAH!!!" Garr shouted to his many fans in the audience. They all cheered and chanted his name. "Chalk up another for the Greatest Champ this world has ever seen!!!"
"Yeah!" An audience member shouted. "Garr is the best there is!"
"No one can beat him!" Another one said.
"I will make sure that this title..." Garr holds up his championship belt with pride. "Stays in my hands!"
The crowd cheered even more. The committee changed the board again. The next fights will be... Emberous Vs. Rota, and Cain Vs. Garr. ________________________________________________________________________
Rota walked in the halls of the locker rooms. He walked up to Cain's locker room and looked at it. He had an expression of hatred and anger on his face as he stared.
"Lookin' for me!" A voice shouted. Cain was walking towards Rota. "I know the secret of your little item tricks..." Rota looked at Cain curiously. "You using those cheap toys of your to distract all those idiots out there of your true power! You coulda blasted that tiger to Hell and back with just your energy! But instead, you used some bomb to kill im'. You know what I think... I think you got something to do with this jerk I'm after. Once I find im' I will kill him! But first... I'll kill you! Once we fight in the finals... You better not hold back cause I won't!"
"You must first defeat Garr..." Rota finally spoke. "And I doubt you have the strength or the character to do that..." He walks away, further down the hall.
"What's all this crap 'bout character?"
"Oh my God!!!" A loud piercing voice shouted. Cain turned around and saw a teenage girl about his age with light blue hair standing behind him with a notepad. "You're that fighter everyone's talking about! Cain!"
Cain wolf whistles at the young beauty, even though he focused more on her chest that was covered only in a bikini top. "What's a pretty girl like you doing in a hellhole like this?"
"Will you sign me an autograph?"
"Sure, baby..." She blushed deeply until she felt a tickle on her chest. She looked and saw Cain signing his name on her right breast. "Having a little trouble..." He grinned smugly. "Better hold it straight..."
He then laid his hand on her breast. In a split second, her hand collided into his right cheek. After a loud "SLAP!" he had a red hand mark over his cheek. She stormed off in anger.
"Prev!" She said with disgust."
"I...wasn't finished..." He said in pain. "Can't blame a guy for trying..." ________________________________________________________________________
"The time has come for the Semi-Finals!!!" The crowd roared with cheers and applauds as the announcer exclaimed what would happen next. "In moments, we will have the top 4 competitors dunking it out for advancement to the finals! Our first match will be Emberous vs. Rota! As you may know, the match with the champ in it will be the last match, so the last will be Cain vs. The Great Garr! And get this, Cain and Rota are both humans!!!" When he said that, the crowd booed. "Let's introduce our first 2 fighters!"
Emberous and Rota walked towards the ring with serious looks on their faces. They enter the ring and stood on opposite sides, staring each other down. Rota reached into his pocket and pulled out 3 black marbles. Emberous face started to sweat when he saw the announcer raise his hand.
"Ready..." The announcer lowered his hand and arm. "FIGHT!!!"
Emberous wasted no time, he inhaled some air and fired several fireballs out of his mouth and towards Rota. Rota threw the 3 marbles at the fire and turned all of them in solid ice blocks. They fell to the ground and cracked the cement. Rota then ran towards Emberous and pulled from his pocket a blue marble this time. He threw it at the lizard and hit him in the stomach. Instantly, Emberous' body started to turn to ice and freeze him. Rota clenched his fist and punched his head clean off his shoulders. The ice that was the lizard them turned to shards and fall to the ground like broken crystals.
"Another quick victory for the human Rota! He didn't even break a sweat during this one!"
Rota turned away from the boos and jeers of the monster crowd and walked back into his locker room.
"Okay! Now for the final match of the semi-finals! This will be champ vs. challenger! Let me first introduce the challenger... the human... CAIN!!!"
Even louder boos rang through the crowd. Cain walked towards the ring cussing the fans who hated him. He even made some finger gestures that made them even more hateful. By the time he made it to the ring, the crowd had nearly been in a riot.
"And now... Let's introduce the champion... the most powerful fighter in the world... the great one... Mr. Fire and Power himself... the one.. the only... GARR!!!"
At the entrance, different colored laser beams and lights illuminated the area. A victorious fanfare blared as Garr walked towards the ring. The crowd cheered and hollered when he gave them his signature roar. He looked straight at Cain and gave an angry growl. Cain gave him an confident smile and a slow cut throat.
"It's now time for the semi-finals... We bring to you, Cain vs. Garr! Fighters... ready... and..."
Before he could finish, Cain arm started to glow black. "Time to end your title reign... and your life..."
"FIGHT!!!"
Cain's energy spread throughout his whole body. The aura of darkness rose to the sky. He rushed head strong towards Garr with both fists clenched tight and eyes burning with adrenaline. Just as he was about to throw the punch, Garr blocked it with his right arm. Cain threw another punch with his other fist, but Garr blocked that one with his left arm. He then kicked Cain in the midsection.
"OOF!!!" Cain grunted from the attack. He then saw Garr's fist heading for his face. He blocked that with a cross arm guard. "Try this! AHH!!!" He started to rapidly punch Garr in the stomach. He threw some many punches at a great speed that Garr couldn't block.
Garr grunted in pain with every punched landed. He finally stopped the assault wilt a powerful hay-maker punch that connected hard to Cain's face. Cain was knocked on his back and skidded about 5 feet away from Garr. The dragon rushed towards him and raised his foot above his head.
"Garr want's to finish this!" The announcer shouted. "He's about to stomp on his opponent's head!"
"Arrrrrrrr!!!" Garr brought his foot down to Cain's head. The fighter, however, caught his foot and stood up.
"Have a nice ride!!!" Cain threw Garr by his foot towards the eastern wall. Garr was about to crash into it, until he used his huge wings to fly away the crash point and back towards Cain.
"Brace yourself!!!" Garr clenched his fist for another hay maker punch. When he throw the blow, Cain used his right arm to block it. Garr tried to punch him again, but Cain blocked it. He kept punching will Cain kept blocking. All the blocking made Cain inch closer to the edge of the ring.
"Garr is throwing punch after punch!" The announcer spoke. "But Cain has avoided each blow!"
Cain was now on the edge of the ring. Just when Garr, still flying, threw another powerful strike, Cain fell to his back outside the ring. This means Garr was flying just over him. Cain delivered a powerful kick to the midsection and caused to lose flight and fall face first into the ground. Cain leapt back into the ring and prepared himself for another attack by the champ. ________________________________________________________________________
Max and Monica were still watching the fight.
"I don't get it..." Max spoke up.
"What's wrong?" M\onica asked.
"If that Cain guy can kill whole groups of monsters at once, why doesn't he just do that to Garr?"
"Maybe he can't. He might of exhausted all his energy and can't use those attacks. Remember, the dark energy were after needs time to grow stronger, that's why we need to stop him here."
"Or..." Max wondered. "Maybe it isn't Cain, it might be Garr, or Rota."
"That's a possibility... all 3 of them got great strength. It's what their thinking that worries me right now..." ________________________________________________________________________
Rota watched the right from the fighter's entrance. He saw Garr throw a volley of punches at Cain. But Cain was able to block all of them and counter with crescent moon kicks and jabs. Rota turned and walked further down he hall. A sinister smile crossed his face as he eagerly awaited his match with either Cain of Garr.
"The time is near..." He said to no one but himself. ________________________________________________________________________
Cain and Garr stood in the middle of the ring and exchanged punches in the face.
"Cain and Garr are at a stalemate!" The announcer shouted to the fans. "Garr is punching Cain right in the face, but Cain counters with his own punches!!!"
Garr then gave Cain a powerful gut punch that made him double over in pain. Cain regained his stance and uppercut his opponent's chin. Garr then grabbed Cain by the neck.
"ACK!!!" Cain struggled to get free, but couldn't.
"Say hi to the wall!!!" Garr hurled him into the arena wall.
Cain used his reflexes to land feet first on the wall and spring back into the ring. "HA!!!" He flew into Garr gave him a powerful jab in the right cheek of the dragon. Cain landed next to Garr on his foot and knee.
Garr had a trail of blood escape his mouth and onto the floor. The crowd went into a frenzy. "C'MON GARR!!! KILL THIS HUMAN SCUM FOR US!!!"
Garr kicked Cain in the chest and knocked him out of the ring. "I've had it with you!!!" He opened his mouth and a small orb of fire grew in it.
"This is it folks!" The announcer was excited. "Garr is gonna barbecue Cain into ashes!"
Cain rose to his feet clutching his chest. "Go ahead and try!"
Garr released the fire ball at Cain. He moved out of the way and the fire merely burned the grass. Cain stood atop the wall and just in front of the crowd. Garr fired again. This time, Cain scooped up a human woman in the crowd and jumped out of the way again. The fire burned a few monsters to their deaths and damages the wall.
Cain landed 3 feet away from the destruction and held the woman next to him. "Don't worry... you're safe." He said reassuring. The woman nearly thanked him, until his hand found it's way to her behind and squeezed it.. She turned red with anger and slapped the fighter off the wall and on the grassy ground. "OOF!!!" He shouted when he fell face first.
"PERVERT!!!" She shouted and took a new seat.
"That's the thanks I get for saving you?" He shouted back. HE started to hear the announcer count and ran back to the ring with great speed.
Garr prepared for him and fired a larger blast of fire that headed straight for him. "You can't escape from that!!!"
"Not gonna!" Cain's right arm started to glow yellow. It then formed 3 blades. "BLADES OF LIGHT!!!" He threw the blades at Garr's blast and stopped it from going any further
"The 2 fighter's energies are actually duking it out!!!" The announcer shouted.
After a while both energies vanished and were gone.
"AAAAAHHH!!!" Cain shouted a battle cry as he ran towards Garr.
"ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!!!!" Garr roared as he ran towards Cain at the same time.
In a split second, they were in the middle of the ring, viciously punching each other's head at a speed that could barely be seen. Drops of blood escape both fire's bodies and splattered to the ground.
"I can't even count how many blows have been landed even from this view!!!"
Garr gave on last gut punch that made Cain skid all the way to the edge. "AH!"
Garr took the opportunity. "NOW I HAVE YOU!!!" His mouth formed an even larger blast of fire. He shot it at Cain and watched as it sped towards him
"DAMMIT!!!" Cain cursed. He couldn't move out of the way in time or block it, but he sure wasn't going let it hit him. "I'll take more than my blades to block that..." He thought. "Or maybe..." Both his arms glowed yellow this time, to the shock of Garr. "BLADES OF LIGHT!!!" 6 blades formed at his arms. "YAAAAAAAH!!!" He threw all 6 of them and made contact with the fire. "Please hold it back!!!" The blades and the blaze were pushing each other back and forth. After a while the blades went right through the fire and towards Garr. But his fire was still heading for Cain. "OH... SH..." That was all he could say before the fire struck him and cast him and the area around him in a thick blaze. The fire was so thick, no one could even see him in it. The crowd went nuts with cheers.
"Cain has been hit by fire blast!!!" The announcer exclaimed. "But what about his blades?"
Cain's blades of light flew towards Garr. Before he can moved, 4 of them hit him and started to cut his shoulders, stomach, and leg. They didn't go through him, but they still cut him open. He screamed in agony and pain as they kept spinning. They disappeared and he fell on his back. The blades had left bloody cuts on the body parts they touched, but he was still alive. He rose to his feet and was panting.
"Hah...Hah...Hah..." Garr breathed out. "He has to be dead... no human can survive that..." He smiled confidently at Cain's destruction. But he was soon shocked when he looked at the fire. "WHAT!!!"
A shadow figure walk towards the outside of the fire. It was Cain. His body was slightly singed, his eye swollen shut, and the jacket he once wore was burnt and torn.
"Too bad..." He started to say. "I really liked that jacket..."
The crowds started to boo and jeer at him again. Garr was in disbelief.
"How did you survive that..." Garr was both tired and nervous. He then smiled evilly. "Not bad... for a human..."
"I'm amazed you survive my blades. But you won't this time!" Cain tried to gather some energy into his arms, but nothing happened. "What the..." He was interrupted by Garr's laughter.
"Looks like you're outta energy... Maybe you can still swing your fists around..."
"Like I need my blades to finish you off!"
"You will..." Garr suddenly gathered electric energy in his left claw. In a few second, the energy stopped and a long spear was in his claws. "Hold still... I promise this will hurt!"
Garr rushed towards Cain at full speed. Cain dove to the side to avoid the incoming spear tip. He scrambled away when Garr stabbed his spear into the ground after missing Cain. Cain leapt to his feet and ran away from the dragon while dodging the thrusts of the spear.
"Garr...Garr...Garr...Garr!" The crowd wanted to see Cain dead, and they wanted to see Garr do the job.
"I gotta get away from this freak!" Cain thought to himself. "No..." He stopped. "I don't..." Cain turned towards Garr and ran at him with his fists clenched and screaming his battle yell.
Garr's eye glinted and he prepared to stab Cain. He and his opponent met in the middle of the ring and he drove his spear into Cain's stomach and out his back. Cain threw a powerful punch that connected to Garr's jaw. He heard a loud crack as the dragon's jaw shattered. Garr fell on his back and moaned in pain. Cain looked at the spear that what skewed. He careful grabbed the handle and pulled it out of his stomach. His blood dripped off the tip and onto the ground. He broke the spear into 2 pieces and threw it away.
"Ow..." He merely said as he clutched his stomach. "Damn... that was dumb..." He looked towards the booing crowd. "I'm so tired... I can't think up a witty insult to you bastards..." He then heard Garr's fiery roar and looked towards him.
Garr gave Cain a powerful head butt that sent him flying into the other side of the ring. He laid on his back with a bloodied forehead.
"An amazing comeback!!!" The announcer screamed. "Garr had delivered his trademark Head Butt!"
"Yeah..." Garr said. "No one can survive it... If the impact doesn't kill ya, then all that blood rushing out of your head will..." He saw Cain slowly rose to his knees and was shocked again. "Why won't you die!?"
"Can anything kill this kid?" An audience member shouted.
"Hah...Hah..." Cain was panting and had trouble breathing. "Who says it's my blood..." He wiped off the blood from his forehead and showed that his head wasn't cracked open as Garr had thought.
"What?!" Garr felt his blood fall off his face. He had a large crack on his forehead. "How...did...you..." Garr started to fall to his knees and fell face first to the ground. His eyes turned back into his head to show he was dead.
"I saw you were trying to do that attack to me... so I did a quick counter to crack your skull instead... you idiot... "Cain laughed. "You didn't even see it coming..." He rose to his feet and felt his head. "Still gonna give me a helluva headache tomorrow..."
The crowd was yelling angrily at the murderer of their favorite champion. Cain was the most hated person in the whole arena. He didn't care, he had survived the toughest fight of his life, and felt good knowing his adversary was dead. Or so he thought.
"The winner of this match..." The announcer started to shout. "Ca..." A loud roar interrupted him. "Huh?"
"Don't tell me..." Cain saw that Garr was engulfed by dark flames. "You still alive?"
Garr didn't saw a word he just charged towards Cain and tried to tear him apart with his claws. Cain however jumped into the air and away from Garr. He held out his hand towards him.
"I gotta say..." Cain started to speak. "You surprise me. I never thought I had to do this." Cain's hand started to glow black and form a black ball in his palm. It grew larger.
"WHAT IS CAIN GONNA DO NOW!?!?!?" The announcer jumped out of the ring and hid behind the stone.
"Seeya in Hell." Cain said with a smile.
He fired the energy at Garr and watched as it hit the dragon. The blast nearly destroyed the entire ring, all that was left was a few still impact tiles and cracked stone. Garr was now nothing but dust in the wind.
"Hmm..." The announcer looked as Cain landed on the ground. "Well it's safe to say Garr isn't coming back... so the winner is Cain!"
The crowd was unbelievably silent. Not a word was said or muttered.
"'Bout time they shut up!" Cain looked at his bloody battle wound on his stomach. "Better start fixing this up." The wound started to slowly, but unnoticeably, close up.
"Before we can start the next match... CREW!!!" The announcer shouted and a team of crew members ran to the ring. "Fix this mess!!! And make it quick!!!" The crew immediately started to clean up the rubble and build a whole new ring.
"Looks like I get a little rest..." Cain walked to the wall and fell asleep, resting for the final match of the tournament against Rota. ________________________________________________________________________
After a while, the ring was all fixed and the next fight was almost ready to start. Cain, battle wound healed, was already in the ring, waiting for his next opponent.
"It has all come down to this!!!" The announcer exclaimed. "We had over hundreds, than just 8, now only 2! But only one will become the champion!!! The final match... first, the man who was able to defeat the former champion, Garr..." The crowd immediately booed. "The human... No! The fighter... CAIN LEOHART!!!" The boos were louder than ever. "And the man who had had quick victory after quick victory... Rota!!!"
The crowds' eyes all fell on the entrance. No one arrived however.
"What?" Cain was puzzled.
"Uh... PLEASE WELCOME THE HUNTER, ROTAAAAAAAAA!!!" Still no one arrived. "Um...uh...er... The one...the only... ROTA!!!" At last someone did come. A member of the committee. He ran over to the announcer and whispered in his ear. "What do you mean Rota's missing!?"
The crowd was now muttering in confusion. No competitor has ever simply left the arena before a match.
"Well..." The announcer started. "I guess if you can't find him..."
"I'm the champ by default!!!" Cain shouted excitedly.
"Well... yeah I...guess so..."
The crowd was now shouting in protest. "We'll never let a HUMAN be our champion!!!" "Find a new opponent!!!" "HE HAS TO EARN IT!!!"
Cain was now getting furious. His short patience had dealt with the boos of the crowd for long enough. "SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" His voice rang through the now silent arena. "IF YOU ASSHOLES WANT ME TO FIND A NEW OPPONENT... THEN SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN INSTEAD OF BITCHIN' ABOUT IT!!! YOU ALL WANT ME DEAD? THEN GO AHEAD... TRY TO KILL ME!!!"
The crowd was silent. No one budge or spoke. Only a few mutters could be heard. "Why don't you go and fight him?" "Are you crazy?" "You said you could tear him apart!" :That was BEFORE he killed Garr."
"Grrrrr..." Cain was still angry. "You're all cowards!!! I don't care who or what the hell you are! Get down here and fight me!" ________________________________________________________________________
"He's really gone mad..." Max started to say to Monica. "He really wants to fight."
"Now's our chance!" Monica leapt from the crowd and onto the grass.
"MONICA!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Max shouted.
Monica ran to the ring and looked at Cain. "Hey, Cain!"
Cain turned and looked at Monica. "Damn..." He thought. "She hot."
"You said you'd fight anyone fight? Well what about me?"
"You?" Cain asked incredulously. "Ya sure about that? I might kill ya."
Monica looked at Max. "I'll fight for a long as I can." She said. "You can finish him if I fall."
"Monica..." Max said with a smile. "Good luck!"
Monica smiled and winked at her friend. She looked at Cain again. He was cracking his knuckles.
"Finally..." He said with a cocky smile. "My lungs were starting to hurt from all that shouting. Okay... I accept your challenge!"
/With Rota missing and no one else to fight, Cain will square off against Monica in the final round.
