Hey, I told you all that I would make this chapter waaaaay better than the last one. I kinda rushed it, anything you want to seen add in the story go ahead n give me a mssg. I hope you like this chapter!
While running to Regalia Gregor had time to consider his options. If he ever did choose to go back to New York, he would have to face the law…but if he stayed in the Underland his was most likely risking his life every moment. Even with the war over, the Underland still held many dangers. He wished he would never have to go home. Maybe he could send a letter up to his parents explaining everything. Tell them he is sorry, and to get word to Larry. He wanted to tell Ashley how he felt about her as well but she would probably be afraid of him now. "Way to screw that up Gregor." He thought.
He hadn't been running down these tunnels since his first time in the Underland. He remembered vaguely running with the giant cockroaches an boots sitting up on Temp. He hoped he was running in the right direction. He soon found out, that he was wrong.
If it wasn't for echolocation he would not have seen the first blade coming straight at his head. He quickly ducked under it turned an faced his attacker. Instead of clicking his tongue he relied on breathing to see for him. His breathing wasn't the best way to see, but it helped all the same because he just had enough time to spin to the side dodging yet another blade.
"Who are you!" he yelled. This time when he dodged the blade, he swung inwards grabbing his attackers wrist an snapping it. They dropped their blade, to which Gregor picked up, but kicking his opponent back ahead of time. The attacker stood there holding their wrist. He could make him out, he was wearing all black armor, but it looked very light. Thin but he was guessing it could protect itself from a rat claw.
"What do you want…?" Gregor asked. "You can't best me." Just for emphasis he twirled the blade in a fancy way in his hand.
"We will see about that!" the figure said. He had a deep manly voice. Sounded so deadly even Gregor rethought if he could beat him. The man ran to the side of the cavern. He jumped an kicked both legs off the wall sending him into the air, to where a giant brown bat caught him. Gregor this time clicked his tongue looking for the man. Luckily he saw him flying down the tunnels Gregor was heading. Sprinting, he barreled towards him. He knew he would not be able to catch him on foot with him having a bat, but maybe he could find out where he was heading.
Again, he soon found out. He ran past the gate without even noticing he was running out to the Arena. He was expecting to see Regalians practicing on their bats, flying an doing all sorts of drills. But instead he saw a full scale battle. Humans an Bats fighting other Humans an Bats.
He didn't need echolocation for this; the whole place was lit up with torches. He could not better describe it any better than a dogfight. But like times a hundred. He saw bats falling towards the ground dead, meeting other lifeless bodies, their bonds doing the same yelling all the way down. He was about to call for Ares, until he remembered the final moments of his bond. His heart felt like ice, climbing to his throat. He could do nothing, but he had to help. He fell to his knees almost to tears.
A whirl of air flew past him, landing on his right side. He looked up to see a golden bat. One he remembered only too much. Aurora, always sneaking out with them on his quests or there defending each other. On her, sat Luxa, the girl he fell In love with, but then to be separated forever. Another bat landed beside her. It was as even bigger than Ares, the biggest bat he had ever known. The bat was a white, with golden patches here and there. He was missing an ear, from the looks of it, it had been cut off. His claws were the size of two of Aurora's claws. His wingspan had to be bigger than a bus.
"Meet you Apollo." Luxa said. Her voice had matured. She was the same age as Gregor, she had really filled out. She looked beautiful; she had grown her silvery hair back, which a gold crown sat on her head. "Mount up; he will accommodate you more than you think." She smiled when she said this; he didn't want that moment to end.
He quickly mounted up, he already had a sword. Aurora took off toward the battle, with Apollo following closely behind her. "I'm Gregor the Overlander." He said.
"I know," Apollo replied. "You were my Fathers bond."
