Chapter 4: Unexpected Turn

Christopher was getting ready for the day as usual, but today was special, because today was Leviathan's Cloth Trials. If she managed to succeed in completing them she would gain the Cloth and become a Saint, or Amazon, as the females are called. Christopher made his way towards the Colosseum, and as luck would have it, he managed to see Leviathan before she entered.

"Leviathan!" He called out. Leviathan heard his voice, turning around, a smile coming to her face as soon as she saw Christopher. She waved to him, and as he approached, he spoke:

"Hey! So, you ready to show them who's gonna win?"

"Yeah, of course! I'm not one just for show." She answered, a confident smile coming to her face. Christopher nodded, but then, he looked south. He still had his mind on about the outburst of Cosmo he felt, but he cannot possibly figure out what it was. Leviathan noticed this, and spoke: "Is there something wrong?".

"Was it just me...Or did an outburst of Cosmo come from the south the other day?"

Leviathan began thinking, and her face dawned."Now that you mentioned it, I did feel something odd the other day...It's probably nothing, don't worry."

"Still, be careful. I have a bad feeling about this..."

Leviathan nodded. After both said goodbye to eachother, Leviathan went to the contestant area, while Christopher went to watch from the Colosseum seats. He took a seat quite close to the arena itself, wanting to get a good look at the fighters. Oddly enough, only 4 showed up, including Leviathan. Christopher looked up to what looked like a throne. In the throne sat a man clad in white robes with a red helmet with dragon wings on the top and a dark-blue mask.

"That is...The Grand Pope!" Christopher remembered Shaina's words: The Grand Pope was a person of higher ranking than the Gold Saints, and only he had the right to speak with Athena. When The Pope rose, the whole Colosseum went silent, and looked upon him as he spoke:

"Mighty soldiers of Athena! We are here today to judge these new prodigies, and determine which one of them is worthy of this!" The Grand Pope stepped aside to reveal a shining light-blue box with symbols of what looked like a sea monster on each side. It emitted a rather radiant light when put agains't the sun. "The Hydra Bronze Cloth shall be given to today's winner! May Athena guide us all!"

As the Pope spoke the last words, the arena roared, ready to see these warriors fight.

"First Fight: Leviathan Regas VS Jorge Tenrow!"

"GO, LEVIATHAN!" Shouted Christopher. Leviathan waved at him as her opponent came up: He had short cyan hair all spiked up, dark eyes and a toothy grin. He wore a simple light tank top and jeans, along with black gloves.

"I'm fighting a girl? Bah!" He cried out, clearly feeling like he was being underestimated

"Don't worry...I won't shame you too much" Leviathan said, showing off her confidence. She sent her left side back, readying herself as the opponent sent his hands up in a guarding fashion. The Pope's voice boomed in the arena:

"BEGIN!"

As these words were spoken, Jorge immediatly ran at her, sending a straight kick. She stepped aside, watching as the other leg came to kick at her side, but she brought her leg up to block it, allowing her to send her right fist into his gut. He blocked it, but Leviathan wasn't done, as she sent her left fist in a hook to his temple, it hitting him, sending him sliding to the side. He looked around, but widened as he saw her nowhere. He looked up, as she was bringing her right leg down in an axe kick. He moved to the side, her leg landing on the floor instead.

My chance!, he thought. He moved towards her, jointing his two hands to send them to her head. Leviathan sent her arms up to block, but it did little, as she was pushed to the floor. He send his foot to stomp her down, but she rolled out of the way, sending her leg to sweep at him, connecting with his calfs, forcing him to lose balance and fall down on the floor. She put herself into a quick handstand, send her legs down onto his stomach. They connected forcing the air out of him. She rolled backwards, watching as he groggingly got up.

He then lunged towards her, going down with a flying kick. She moved aside, as the earth cracked. But he used the momentum to jump at her and punch her in the back. As she slid to the floor, she got up, only to see him with water blades on his hands. "Hydra Blades!". He rushed to her, sending quick flashes of fists. Leviathan was trying her best to block, but her skin and clothing kept getting cut. With a final strike, Leviathan was sent flying back. As she landed on the floor, she got up, pure anger in her face.

Time to end this. As this thought crossed her mind, blue Cosmo began to leak from her body. The audience gasped except Christopher, who looked confident in her victory. Jorge widened, already fearing what was coming.

"ASCEND! MY COSMO!" Leviathan called out, sending both hands forward. As she did, water somehow began to run rampant in the arena. It was very violent and wild, causing Jorge to flinch. Leviathan brought her hands back, screaming:

"SERPENT'S JAWS!"

As soon as she was done screaming, the waters took on the shape of a snake, flying towards Jorge, who could watch as it engulfed him. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" was all he could scream out. When the water was gone, Jorge was laying on the floor unconscious.

"Jorge Tenrow is down! The winner is Leviathan Regas!" As The Grand Pope finished, the crowd cheered out, Christopher applauding her as she left the arena. As she walked out, the other two contestants came in: one has long green hair, a black jacket and ragged jeans. The other had red long hair, a long cloak and fingerless gloves, along with black shorts and a white shirt. As she sat in the contestant's lounge, she waved at Christopher, who also waved back.

"Second Fight: Sandy Jones VS Fireno Gante!"

Both fighters just stared at eachother menacingly, simply awaiting for the moment they could begin. However, the green-haired one, Sandy, was looking nervous, while Fireno looked rather wary of him. Christopher could feel the tension, but he couldn't figure out why.

"BEGIN!"

Sandy looked nervous, as if he didn't want to do it. Before he knew it, Fireno was already fisting his gut, sending Sandy back. Fireno ran to his side, sending a side kick to the ribs, and then a left hook, and following a right. Fireno then sent his fists down like a hammer, sending him to the floor. Fireno then lifted his hand to finish him. But just then, a dark Cosmo began to leak out of Sandy, causing Christopher and Leviathan to become alarmed. Sandy then sent his fists down into the earth, causing a huge dust cloud to stir up.

"W-What has happened?!" Said The Pope. As the dust cloud cleared up, Sandy was seen holding up Fireno by the throat, seemingly struggling in his hand. Sandy raised his free hand, his now blue Cosmo coursing in it. "HYDRA'S JUDGEMENT!" He screamed out, sending it fist into Fireno's gut, a blue shockwave shooting from behind him, and sending him flying to the wall, breaking it. Christopher and Leviathan were wide-eyed: It looked as if Fireno was winning but then, Sandy released some sort of dark Cosmo and turned the tables.

"Fireno Gante is down! The winner is Sandy Jones! We shall now allow the final fighters to rest before the final match!"

As the announcement was over, the people in the arena began to disperse. Christopher and Leviathan both knew something was up with Sandy. The only thing they could do is hope Leviathan can win...

And there you have it! At least with some fighting, it should keep things entertaining, right? I will be continuing more often, so worry not! Review, like and share! Kudos!
