Chapter 124: The Wish

A/N: Thank you Amvmaster for your loyalty to the story, and yes I know my story needs work, but unfortunately all my earlier chapters were already deleted over time from inactivity, so I can't edit them anymore, they're stuck as is with all their errors. But oh well, I can only keep moving and improving the rest of the story. So here is the next chapter for any and all who are loyal to the story!

It was late afternoon when Katrina reached her final destination; directly outside the Calypso Industries building. Sweet Tooth was already waiting outside as well, standing outside his ice cream truck, his machete-like weapon in his hand,

"As I promised, no gunners, just you and I," he said to her, gesturing to his empty truck. Katrina said nothing, she simply stepped out of her porsche, clutching the tarp wrapped metal objects that Damon had left for her, set the objects down on the hood of her car, and finally unwrapped them; inside was two distinctive blades, almost mirroring her Blades of Exhile, except the blades were almost shining steel, the grips were plastic with a small black button on each one, and a black metal chord on the end of each one, each connected to a leather bracer for her to slide onto her arms.

Sweet Tooth watched in interest as Katrina slid on each bracer, then began to wrap the metal chord around each of her now covered forearms, and finally picking up the large blades, making Sweet Tooth chuckle at the sight,

"And just what do you think you're going to do with those big damn meat cleavers?"

"I'm gonna tear your fucking heart out with them...then I'm gonna crush it."

"Kind of like how yours got crushed when I dealt with Clyde and his army of mechanics?" Katrina tightened her grip on her weapons, her anger already at a rolling boil, "Or how about when your boy Damon bit the dust?"

"Shut your face!" Shouted Katrina, "He wouldn't want you talking about him anyway, instead he would want me to fight you head on, face my fear, and be the Goddess of War he believed me to be!" The horn from the first two rounds sounded, and Calypsos' voice was heard overhead,

"Well now! The two competitors are already fired up and the round hasn't even begun yet!" The evil man laughed, "But now it is time for our third and final round of Twisted Metal! A one on one deathmatch! Winner gets the grand prize! May the best win!" The horn sounded, and both Sweet Tooth and Katrina ran for each other, each swinging their respective weapon or weapons, and to the delight of all who was watching, their weapons clashed with sparks flying in every direction. Katrina swung her blades at the mad clown, but Sweet Tooth kept his blade up in perfect sync to block her swipes. As her stamina began to wear thin, however, Sweet Tooth took his oppourtunity to swing his large blade at her, barely missing her throat but managed to catch the front of her shirt with the backswing, exposing the bottom of her breasts, making the clown laugh and several unseen spectators to wolf whistle at her. Katrina shrugged off the rude whistles and charged back at Sweet Tooth, letting the metal chord extend as she threw her blade at the clown. He barely managed to deflect it, but Katrina ran around him, jumping onto his back and wrapping the chord around his neck, cutting off his air as she planted her knees into his back and leaned away from him. As this transpired the clown leaned forward, trying to catch his breath, but instead brought Katrina forward, and with the oppourtunity present, Sweet Tooth swung his head up and back, nailing the back of his flaming scalp against Katrinas' chin, making her lose her grip, fall off his back and breifly grasp her chin, spitting out blood, a tooth and feeling a burn developing on her injured chin. As she was gripping her chin, she didn't notice her blades have fallen out of her grasp, nor did she notice Sweet Tooth approaching her until he already had a grip on the front of her jeans, dragging her back over to his blade. She quickly delivered a firm kick to the back of Sweet Tooths leg, making him kneel and release her, and she quickly grabbed one of her chords, yanking hard, and sending one of the blades soaring for Sweet Tooth, which landed right into his shoulder, making him shout as he pulled the weapon from his shoulder and slam it into the ground. He then quickly advanced onto Katrina, bringing a fist right to the bridge of her nose, sending her to the ground with a hand on her face and a sob escaping her throat. Sweet Tooth then stomped onto her right knee, making it crack and causing the former Goddess to shout into the air, she then used her free hand to yank the remaining chord, bringing her free blade back to her hand, but Sweet Tooth stomped on her wrist, snapping the bone and pinning her arm to the ground. Katrina groaned from the sheer pain, while Sweet Tooth was smiling beneath his mask,

"I'll give you this girl...you lasted longer than I thought you would," said the clown. Katrina, face bloodied and broken, gave him a bloody grin,

"You could say I'm full of surprises," she then turned her broken wrist just enough to place the flat of the blade to Sweet Tooths ankle, then to the clowns surprise, a jolt of electricity was sent through him, causing him to jump back and free her. Katrina quickly crawled to the clown, piercing him in the abdomen with her blade, pressing the button on the side of the handle, sending electricity directly into Sweet Tooth. "Damon made the handles out of old stun guns," explained Katrina, "I'm assuming it was supposed to be his way of me remembering my boyfriend, whose murderer I've been trying to find...who Calypso is standing in my way of killing." Sweet Tooth fell to the ground, bleeding and convulsing, unable to stop Katrina from staggering over and retrieving her other blade, also unable to keep Katrina from approaching him, cruel intentions in mind, "Now...stay down clown!" She then mercilessly brought the blades down on the evil clown, viciously, savagely, blindly spraying blood in almost every direction, even after the flame on Sweet Tooths head went out, signifying his death. It wasn't until her muscles began to ache that she finally stopped, dropping the blades by her sides, "That was for Clyde...and everyone else you killed you son of a bitch." Finally, the horn sounded off one last time, but Calypso said nothing. Katrina didn't care, she simply stood up, limping towards the main entrance of the Calypso Industries building, and before she knew it she was on the top floor, with Calypso himself seated behind a nice polished desk, a wall with seemingly random items on the left side as she entered the room, resembling much like a trophy wall. She refused to acknowledge it as she approached Calypsos' desk, the man simply smiling as he rose up from he seat,

"Congradulations Katrina," he said to her, "you have completed the Twisted Metal game."

"Yeah...great..." said Katrina sarcastically, "...now what?"

"Now you get to make your wish," said Calypso, "whatever you want, I can grant it. Money, fame, sending you to whatever dimension you want, bringing someone to you, either friend or foe, or I can simply return your powers." He reached into his suit jacket, procuring the same bottle he sealed Damon and Katrinas' powers and items in when they first entered that world, and set it on his desk, "Just say the word, and I can grant you anything your heart desires."

"Anything...?" Katrina asked. Calypso nodded, and the former devils' mind began to race, I could wish my powers back so I could stand a chance against Zeus, she thought. Or I could wish Adrian here so we could finally be reunited...but if Calypso does to him what he did to me and Damon...Katrina blinked, Damon...and finally looked Calypso right in his red eyes, "I wish for Damon. Bring him back to life! He deserves to live! He deserves to be back home with me and Adrian, serving House Gremory...even if he mainly beats up Issei, ignores Koneko and annoys everyone in any way possible, he deserves to live!" Calypso smiled, raising his hands up to his sides as a red smoke welled up behind him,

"Your wish..." his eyes then glowed, and his voice breifly turned demonic, "...is granted!" His eyes ceased to glow, the smoke vanished, and Katrina sensed a third prescence in the room; she slowly turned around, and to her teary eyed joy stood Damon! Dressed exactly as he had when he entered the race, his eyes shadowed by his hair. Katrina began to limp towards him,

"Damon...! Damon! URCK-!" Katrinas' joy turned to shock as Damon brought a surprisingly strong hand to her throat, and Katrina finally saw his eyes; pure red like a man possessed. "Damon...no!" The white haired boy casually tossed her to the trophy wall, smashing it as several of the object clattered around her, one of which looked exactly like Sweet Tooths weapon. Calypso laughed, and laughed and laughed and laughed,

"Sorry Katrina," he said, "but you did wish for Damon to be brought back to life, but anyone brought back from the dead by my power, is fiercly loyal to me!"

A/N: We are finally drawing to a close...for this little arc. Sorry to get the haters hopes up, but we can finally wrap up the remainder of the Twisted Metal arc next chapter, and who knows, maybe we can finally see Adrian again, catch up to what he has been up to...assuming nothing happened to him, but that's wishful thinking...isn't it? Okay, I'm done with the tease, until next time!
