Warning Extremely Brutal Chapter 4 : Blood and Bones

Bold For Titles and Special actions

Italics for Loot

WARNING! This Chapter is very dark and gruesome. It explains some ability that Drax has but for the most part its violent and touches on Cannibalism, Gore, And psychotic Episodes! Not for the faint of heart!

The party was dragged into an arena that had two large pillars that held the roof up. The lower bit of the walls had spikes on it that were crudely bent outwards. The pillar was thick and a massive sound pit with sewer bits that had grates on them were put in the cardinal directions. The surrounding walls were the audience full of bandits sat was at least 10 feet tall and had spikes on the lower 3 feet.

The Vault Hunters laid in the center where the crowd was cheering as Nine Toes stood on a… a… toilet? In ceremony. The crowd was going absolutely berzerk from the rallying that he gave as the deafening roar of the crowd grew. The roar awoke the Vault Hunters in the ring except for Drax who turned over. Reikon licked Drax's face and whimpered unsure if he died or was just unconscious. Nine Toes was unfazed and pointed his finger at the group who just noticed the lack of weapons on their body.

Brick rolled his shoulders and felt tension release as his muscles popped and he growled in amusement. Roland looked to mordecai who was staring at his bird trapped in a cage that was dangling above the arena.

Nine Toes!

… Also he has three balls

The group finally listened in on the conversation " -ag sucking, bile retching, wannabe heroes think they can mess with NINE TOES and get away with it!"

Nine Toes let that sink in and chuckled at the encore he got from his minions.

"Let's see them survive this!"

With a wave of his hand the gates opened up and ten midget psychos rushed out of the grates from each one. A total of forty psychos came sprinting at the group as Brick laughed in delight and charged at the northward group.

Lilith and Roland both rushed the Eastward group and Mordecai drew a hidden kukri from his pocket and stalked the Westward group as he spun the blade in his hand with professional ease. The Southward group squealed as they rushed at the unconscious Drax which caused Reikon to roar rather loudly at them.

The group slowed to a walk as they fearfully looked at the Skag who was hunched and ready to put his claws into the closest baddie that came at him.

A psycho yelled some unintelligible gibberish at the Skag before running at him with his axe raised. The Reikon wasted no effort and leapt to meet him with his mouth engulfing the poor midget before he could react. Like a true animal the Skag bit down and dragged the body with him before violently shaking his head and ripping it clean from the body.

Reikon gave a chortle as the body was dissolved and eaten very quickly due to his bile. Drax remained asleep and was actually snoring at this point. Across the way in the North sector, Brick punted a psycho clear across the way and it slammed into another two dragging them underneath the now dead psycho. Brick was full blown laughing and punching the horde of psychos causing heads to explode. 3 midget psychos remained which two were busy freeing themselves when Brick grabbed a midget and threw him at Nine Toes.

The body sailed through the air before a large armor wearing skag with pink skin leapt up and caught the body before going to town. Brick clicked his tongue in frustration before walking over and crushing both of the Midget's heads in annoyance. Brick turned his head as Mordecai flipped over a midget and crushed another with his landing. The kukri flew at a blur as he parried the buzz-axes and slashed the wielders. Only two remained and one of them was missing an arm. Out of nowhere he reached behind him and drew a grenade before running at mordecai who was dealing with the other midget screaming as it held his leg.

Mordecai noticed the screaming midget and did a backflip sending the midget on his leg flying on top of the suicider who promptly exploded. Bits of the psychos flew around and Mordecai readied into a combat position before looking at Lilith and Roland. Roland and snagged a buzz-axe and slashed another midget psycho as Lilith punched one in the head and caused it to glow for a second before exploding.

Lilith stared at her hands in amazement and grinned before continuing this magical assault. The duo worked magic literally on Lilith's side as they were back to back killed all the midgets with bisected heads or piles of mush were the head should have been.

The group looked southwards where Reikon was playing with his food. Three psychos had no legs and were screaming loudly which annoyed the audience and another dangled above the Skags open mouth. Three more had no heads and one was just gone from the waist up. The other two were nowhere to be seen. The awake Vault Hunters watched as Reikon ate a midget whole and licked his chops at the other three. Drax rolled over with a snort but was still snoring and sleeping rather soundly.

The audience went silence as Reikon gored and tore the remaining Midgets alive before eating them all. Nine Toes laughed before raising his hands in celebration "congratulations! You beat the first wave of infinity!" Nine Toes laughed and most of the audience glanced at each other with nervous chuckles. Nine Toes pulled a lever next to his toilet and it actually flushed with the sewer grates opening. Each gate released 1 Badass Psycho who raged before dashing at the targets and a Badass Bruiser with each sporting very scary brass knuckles. Mordecai dodged a downward slash from the psycho but was caught in the face by a boot from the Badass Bruiser sending him back a few feet. Mordecai for his part didn't fall but that wasn't a blessing as the psycho threw his buzz-axe and took a decent chunk of his shoulder. Mordecai yelped in pain and Bloodwind started shaking the cage violently.

Mordecai fell to his knees and glanced up before a spiked fist smashed into his chin and caused him to fly backwards before coughing violently making blood spurt. Drax grunted and the snoring stopped and he laid on his back still asleep. Brick smashed his face in the psycho and ducked underneath a punch from the bruiser before uppercutting him. The helmet the Badass bruiser had took the brunt of the force and an ugly face with a broad jaw looked back at him. Brick took two steps back before being tackled by surprise from the psycho who used his one arm to slam brick into the ground which allowed the bruiser to start stomping his face into the ground. Drax started grumbling but was clearly asleep.

Lilith hissed as she took another glancing blow from the bruiser and glanced to see Roland lose his buzz axe and get a diagonal slash across his body causing him to fall to the ground. He wasn't moving and Lilith roared in rage before vanishing from the bruisers sight in a burst of light. Lilith ran to Roland as the world around her was purple and blue before punching the psycho in the face causing an explosion and sending him tumbling away but still very much alive. Lilith grabbed Roland checked for a pulse not noticing the Bruiser behind her with his fist raised before it slammed into the back of her head knocking her out. Reikon was being manhandled before being punched multiple times in the stomach and then thrown to the side in a bloodied heap. The badass psycho from the south picked Drax up by his hair and held the blade at his neck before rearing back for the strike to leave him headless.

Drax eyes snapped open bloodshot and the pupils were so shrunken that they appeared nonexistent. Drax twisted his body and swung himself with very surprising force that caught the psycho off guard and caused him to stumble. The psycho's masked face drew close to Drax's who snarled like a feral animal before grabbing the Psycho's arm and an audible crunch was heard. The psycho shrieked in pain and dropped Drax who landed square on his feet and dove at the psycho and knocked him to the ground. The shriek cause the 4 Badass Bruisers and other 3 Badass psychos to turn towards its source. Only to find Drax tearing at the face of the once alive psycho with his bear fingers leaving it mauled and beaten.

Once the face was unrecognizable Drax howled in rage and tumbled off the psycho before running on all fours towards the bruiser. (Think of Ratmen from borderlands two sprinting). Drax slide to the left as the bruiser attempted to spartan kick the feral man in the face. With his hands in the dirt to allow him to slide he made a sharp 90 Degree turn barely missing the foot before he used the inertia from his turn to stick his foot out and topple the walking giant.

As the Bruiser fell Drax continued in his spin to a full 360 avoiding his leg from being trapped underneath the Badass. He then punched and violently bit into the neck of the bruiser and ripping his mask off with his right hand and laying his left as a pin across the torso. The Bruiser reached to free himself with his right hand but the fall slowed his movements from the shock of impact. Drax felt his muscles in his teg tense and knew what it meant in retaliation to this Drax lifted his right hand and stabbed the bruiser in his eyes and dug deep.

The bruiser let out a hoarse shriek before it died in a gurgle and he stopped moving for good. Drax sat for a moment and the squelching of the blood pouring from his fingertips being dug into the eye was all that was heard in the shell shocked crowd. Nine Toes was uncertain about this since this kind of brutality was uncommon in this part of Pandora. Drax stood up with his face covered in blood and gave a psychotic smile while allowing the blood to drip from his fingertips. The Remainder of the Badasses stopped their assault on the other Vault Hunters and moved together towards this new threat. The psychos having lost their minds a long time ago rushed blindly and made mad grunting sounds with added panting of exhaustion as they ran at Drax.

Drax took a slow and dangerous pace towards them with his arms spread at his sides in a come to me stance. The Westward psycho drew closest and swung his blade downwards at Drax who sidestepped the attack before grabbing the psycho's wrist and pulling him towards Drax. This caused the following momentum from the charge attack to backfire and he continued towards Drax who used his free hand to smash his palm into the psychos face mask. This left a loud crunch in exchange to the grunting from earlier before he toppled like he slipped on ice. Drax left his palm there and extended his fingers to grab the ruined face mask before slamming him into the ground. The buzz axe was left in the dirt and Drax grabbed it before slamming the hilt into the psychos face repeatedly as the others drew closer. Once the face was crushed in Drax crouched and rolled backwards from the Eastward psychos slash that cut through the air.

Drax righted himself and started cackling before dead on launching himself at the psycho with his body practically horizontal with the ground. Showing great skill and some kind of aerobatics Drax turned his body in mid air and straddled the psycho from this position and pushed him down onto his back from standing. Drax had both hands on the stolen Buzz-axe at this point and slammed the blade into his chest before letting the motorized weapon do its work and it tore a new massive gaping hole in the psychos chest cavity. Drax raised his head upwards flinging blood and sweat into the air and his face showed pure ecstasy.

Drax watched as the other psycho swung his axe and flinging his arm with it which made Drax duck his head with his chin nearly kissing the tip of the spinning blade from the Buzz axe. Drax shot his head back up inside of the swinging zone and smashed the top of his head into the chin of the psycho. He finally unstraddled the now eviscerated psycho with a backwards roll as the psycho was now grabbing his chin with both hands. Drax popped up like he wasn't been fighting left and right and giggled like a child before doing a rising jump kick into the psychos face snapping the neck backwards and causing the spine and other accessories attached to rip through the neck and spray Drax's body in blood.

Drax landed on the eviscerated psycho and let the other body fall onto him before he pushed it off. Letting it fall to his side with a loud thump and a wet squish as the blade of the Buzz axe was now spinning in the crotch of one and the torso of the other.

Drax smiled and stuck one hand behind his back before making a come hither motion to the bruisers who grouped up to face this threat. The bruiser slowly moved towards Drax who now had both hands behind his back and a snarky look on his face. They surrounded him in a triangle formation before one stepped forward and sent a straight hook to his face. Drax side stepped with barely an inch between him and the fist and the one behind him now walked up and uppercutted the back intent on smashing his spine in. Drax ducked his head and stepped underneath the first assailants arm before raising himself suddenly and snapping the bruisers arm with a loud crack. The third rushed towards the first and attempted to boot Drax who spun backwards avoiding the kick and stepping behind the second Bruiser. He brought both arms forward and the hands on the side of the Bruisers face before violently wrenching it sideways. The whole body shuddered and fell to the ground lifeless.

The first nursed his arm as the third stomped into the ground and threw a mighty punch into the body of the now dead bruiser. This sent both the body and Drax backwards before they slid to a stop still upright. The Bruiser's body fell to the left and Drax turned around to see barely 2 feet before the spikes would have impaled him. Drax turned around to find the Third hoping to take advantage of the distraction and throwing a wild left hook which made Drax side step and giving a hefty push with the heel of his show towards the spikes. The Bruiser tripped and the spikes impaled the skull tearing straight through his head.

The crowd left out an EUGH as the violent kill splattered brain matter across the field. For the most part Nine Toes stayed silent watching very intently at this absolute monster of a fighter that awoke in his ring. Drax now with a blood covered face and dripping wet hair had regained his pupils that were a deep purple and instead of white around it the area was crimson. The first bruiser started begging for forgiveness and pleaded with this demon that seemed to possess Drax. Said man walked up to the bruiser and gave him a charming smile before making a blade like hand and crushing his windpipe leaving it crushed. The bruiser fell to the ground clutching his throat for air before dying and leaving Drax alone as the last man standing. Brick lay on the ground having rolled over onto his stomach staring in shock at the brutality shown by their party member.

Mordecai had put himself into an upright position and was staring down Drax like some kind of freak while Lilith was passed out and Roland seemingly dead to the world.

Drax turned to Nine Toes and gave a monsterous smile before his voice rumbled through all the chuckling he seemed to unceasingly gave throughout the fight.

"So who is next on the chopping block for this fun time massacre."

I had this idea in mind for awhile for the chapter. It wasn't supposed to be this brutal originally but the whole idea is to show just how far off the deep end Drax really is. If I should keep a style like this please let me know but if its to violent then please tell me so I can edit this and change it as well as make sure to tone down the violence. Also I binged this in one night because of how fresh these ideas have been so I hope your happy.
