Blood Trillium is throwing a tournament to find the heir. Brooklyn was interested and joins in along with Garland and Crusher. On the day that the tournament began, Brooklyn was first to face of Michael, and with that they began.
Chapter Six: Victory
"Blood, sweat, and tears will be shown by many vampires who will compete…But one with agility, strength, and wisdom will become victorious."
Michael began charging at Brooklyn, with his sword preparing to strike at him. In one swift movement, Michael's strike got block by Brooklyn's broadsword.
"In my view, you've just made a mistake of charging at me," Brooklyn said.
"How?" Michael asked.
"Like this," Brooklyn replied as he punched Michael's stomach, leaving him in pain and with his other hand touching where he kicked him.
This got him distract enough for Brooklyn with one swift of his sword, hitting Michael's sword, making Michael to lose his grip on it, sending the sword moving away from him.
Brooklyn kicked Michael down to the ground, and when Michael was about to get up, Brooklyn place his foot on his torso, and bringing the sword close to Michael's chin.
It was then that the referee came in and calls out, "Michael is out, Brooklyn wins the match!"
The vampires around crowd louder then before, as they cheer Brooklyn as he was one step closer to win the title.
Brooklyn walks back to the participants, where Garland and Crusher congratulate him.
"Nice job Brooklyn," Garland said as he patted on his shoulder.
"You really outsmarted him," Crusher said.
"It was nothing, that move he did was amateur," Brooklyn replied.
"Next match, is Mystel against Seth, participants come to the circle," said the vampire referee.
"Now this we got to see," Garland said as he, Brooklyn and Crusher take a look on the match that was just starting.
"Argh!" Garland yelled as he uses his twin swords to strike a vampire, whom he blocks, every movement, with the staff.
With one last blow, although the vampire block it, both of them try to push one another off, but didn't budge one bit.
"Give up Jylz, there's no way you'll win," Garland said.
"We'll see about that," Jylz responded.
Jylz back away from Garland, as he was getting to prepare to attack him. It was then that he began charging to hit him, but Garland dodges it. Jylz didn't have enough time to react in time for Garland to kick him on the back. It was hard kick as Jylz was sent flying to the ground and sliding off into the crowd.
Afterwards, Jylz wasn't able to get up, struggling but failed to do so.
"Jylz is unable to fight, Garland wins the match!"
The crowd cheers him loudly, for he won and ready to go fight in the next round.
For Jylz, he was carried to the hospitalize area, where those who are injured are sent.
The several past matches, was a thrill for the crowd, and for the participants. But it was getting intense as it was the finals. Brooklyn, Garland, Darien, and a vampire named Myles were the final vampires to be closer to their goal of being the winner.
Darien and Brooklyn still have their weapons, Garland and Myles have swords.
"Now, to know who fights who we will flip a coin," said the referee, "To the two who say the right side of the coin will battle first."
The referee went in his pocket to pick up a coin and position it so that it will be ready to flip it.
"Then what do you guys call out for?" asked the referee.
"Heads," said Darien.
"Tails," said Myles.
"Tails," said Brooklyn.
"Heads," said Garland.
Flipping the coin, catching it and placing it on the back of his hand, the referee opens his hand to see the result.
"Brooklyn and Myles are to compete first, then Darien and Garland," responded the referee.
The crowd cheers, no matter what… All they want to see is a fight, and seeing the winner and the heir of Blood Trillium.
Darien and Garland left the circle, Garland noting that Darien had a sinister look in his blood-red eyes as fiddle with his knife with his two fingers.
As for Myles and Brooklyn, they stood in the circle facing each other, waiting for the signal to fight.
The referee looks at both of them, and finally said, "BEGIN!"
Myles took the charge and offense, as Brooklyn got into his defense position.
Several times Myles strike and slash at Brooklyn, and Brooklyn block every move that Myles had made.
Thrusting his sword at Brooklyn, he dodges every move, but manages to turn the tables around as Brooklyn went to the offense as Myles got into defense.
"You are certainly not bad with this… What are you adolescence?" asked Michael.
"Try a young adult trying to kick your sorry ass." answered Brooklyn.
"Wha-" was all that Myles say as Brooklyn knock the sword out of his hand. Myles turning to face Brooklyn, to have the sword near his heart.
"Please," whispering Myles, in fear and desperation, "Don't kill me, I too young to die."
'He's so stupid…' Brooklyn thought, 'He's a vampire and knows that he'll be forever young at his age…Oh, well."
"Then surrender," was all that Brooklyn said.
Without hesitation, Myles went down to the floor, signaling the referee to end the match.
"Brooklyn wins, and heads to the finals!!"
The vampires were proud to see the first finalist, and at the final step to become victorious.
"Go Brooklyn! We love you!!!" yelled the females.
Boris smile at Brooklyn's performance, this is what he was expecting… But he, Brooklyn must beat the winner in the next match in order to become the next heir, something Boris wanted to see ever since Brooklyn became of age.
Brooklyn went back outside of the circle, before he had past Garland and saying a quick few words to him.
"Good luck, Garland," Brooklyn said.
"Don't worry Brooklyn, I think I can beat him," was all he said before moving to the center and facing Darien.
Darien and Garland got into their fighting stance, waiting for the referee to begin…
"You know, it takes more than luck to beat me," Darien said.
"We'll see about that," Garland replied.
The referee looks at them to see that they were ready to battle.
"BEGIN!" he yelled.
Garland began to strike at Darien, and did it multiple times before Darien vanished, as for Garland he was shock about this.
But he wasn't aware that Darien came behind him, and kicks him on the back, making Garland crash on the ground.
Garland went to get up quickly but felt pains on his shoulder, arm, and his leg bringing him down to the ground.
He panted heavily, and he saw something red flowing in the ground, blood and notices three small daggers scattered on the ground.
Turns out that Darien has thrown the knives to injure him, and keep him lying on the ground.
Brooklyn seeing this was in fear of his companion's life.
However one of the daggers was close to Garland so Garland went to reach it fast, and shift his body to face Darien.
About to throw the dagger at him, Darien was fast as he thrown another dagger first, hitting Garland's hand that held the dagger, and the dagger to come out of his grasp.
Garland's hand bled, as he try getting up again, but this time a sword appear, and it's tip was close to Garland heart.
His eyes look up to see Darien's blood-red eyes, seeing the sinister look on his face.
"If you want to live, then I suggest for you to lie down and stay there," he said coldly.
…And that's what Garland did. His whole body was on the floor stiff, the referee notice this, calling to the crowd that Darien was the winner, and facing Brooklyn in the final battle.
They cheered, as the moment has come…
…Two participants…
…One, final battle…
…And in the end, one will be declare as not only the winner but the new heir of Blood Trillium.
Brooklyn stare at Darien, as Darien stare at him smiling. Darien is eager to face him and eager to get Brooklyn in the same fate as Garland.
As for Garland, he was able to get up, but walk a bit weakly since his injury on his leg. Some vampires escorted him to the hospitalize area, for where he would rest and heal.
His sword that he uses was on the ground but until Darien pick the sword up, and observing the object.
With a smile, he tosses the knives away, indicating that he'll be using the sword in the final battle.
Brooklyn head to the center of the circle hearing the crowd cheering, feeling that everything around him has gotten slower for what it will be expected.
His heart would have beaten fast, if he was alive, the adrenaline.
He stops at the center facing Darien getting into fighting stance.
"You know, you can turn away," said Darien with hint of aggressiveness.
"Well, I prefer not to, unless you're saying that because you are scared of facing me," Brooklyn said with a smile on his face.
Darien clench his teeth in anger, eyes showing hate and how much he is piss off at Brooklyn's comment.
"Fine then," Darien said before he say a few more words more coldly, "You'll have the same fate as you buddy."
Darien got into his fighting stance as well, and the referee got this as a signal that their ready.
"LET THE FINAL BATTLE BEGAN!"
The crowd cheers as they are finally to be able to see the final battle.
Darien rush at Brooklyn striking his sword at him aggressively. Brooklyn ended up on defense striking his sword to block every one of Darien's moves.
It was a while that the tables were turn around as Brooklyn manage to get into the offense. Darien as well blocks Brooklyn's strikes, till they crash their swords together, struggling to push one another away from them.
"My, my, you have survived longer than any of the opponents I have faced since the tournament began," Darien said.
"Well, so, do you," Brooklyn said.
Eventually, Darien has broken their swords contact, knocking Brooklyn and Brooklyn losing his grip on the sword.
Brooklyn turn to get his sword, which was a bad mistake as Darien took the advantage, and slashing his sword on Brooklyn's back. Brooklyn fell down in pain, turning around with his arms holding him up from the ground.
Then Darien charge at him, his sword ready to strike at him as if the sword wants to pierce the flesh and feel the blood flow out of it.
Brooklyn looks to see his sword not to far from him. He reaches out for the sword, and got it, in time to block Darien's sword from making contact of Brooklyn.
They had another struggle pushing each other away.
'I need a way to get off the ground,' Brooklyn thought.
And an idea hit him…
Out of nowhere, Brooklyn was beginning to push Darien up, till he had enough room to do what he was going to do.
He kicks Darien in the guts; send him flying down to the ground away from him.
Brooklyn quickly got up, in a fighting stance, but Brooklyn was feeling his strength was starting to leave. He pant for a bit, seeing Darien getting up on his knees, and when he saw Darien, his eye were at pure rage, that it seem to be glowing in lust to win, willing to do anything to get Brooklyn out.
Brooklyn quickly removes his shirt, cause many of the females to cry in astonishment of his well-built chest.
"OH, MY GOD!! GO, BROOKLYN!!" one of the female's yelled as she automatically fainted getting some of the vampires behind her to catch her.
Brooklyn then got into a fighting stance once more, waiting for Darien to make his move.
"ARGH!!" cried Darien as he charges at Brooklyn, taking many strikes at him, and Brooklyn blocks every one.
But one strike Darien did slash at Brooklyn's arm, blood to be release from the flesh.
Darien took a step back taking deep breaths, looking at the blade to see crimson liquid on it, and flowing down. He stares back at Brooklyn, seeing him on his knees, with his arm that didn't hold anything to be place on where the wound was made, breathing hard as well.
They were both tired, yet they had to keep going till one person is down, looks like it's the survival of the fittest.
Brooklyn manages to get up, but in a way that he was starting to get weaken.
And this time, Brooklyn charges at Darien, swinging his hardest to strike at him.
Although Darien dodges a few, Brooklyn manages to slash his arm, cheek, blood flying everywhere and splattering on the ground.
It was then that Brooklyn charges once more, and Darien was getting ready to block his strike…
…but it didn't go straight to Darien's blade.
It pierced one of Darien's legs. He screams in pain, going down to one knee and clutching his wounded leg.
Brooklyn kept his distance from him. Waiting to find out what happens next.
Darien got up with struggling, staring at Brooklyn once more, he once again charges at him.
Brooklyn got into his defense position, yet Darien didn't reach to Brooklyn.
Instead, half way through his charging, he collapse from his leg that was been wounded where Brooklyn stroke. He try getting up, his hands raising his body up, but collapse from having no strength left to battle.
Brooklyn was the only one standing.
The referee look at Darien, which then he gave one final call.
"Darien is unable to battle! Our winner and our new heir is Brooklyn!!"
Everyone cheered loudly, proud to see the winner, and the new heir of Blood Trillium.
Brooklyn drops the sword he fought through the beginning of the tournament. He stares at Boris, and Boris had a smile on his thin pale lips.
Brooklyn walk towards Boris, but each step he took was very weak, and without warning Brooklyn collapse on the ground. Darkness spread his vision as he has fallen into unconsciousness.
His eyes open, revealing his bluish-green eyes, as he looks to see where was he.
There were a lot of beds in the room, as they were in white blankets; some people were lying on it, with bandages on some parts of their body. Looks like to him it's the hospitalize area.
Brooklyn manage to get up, and he look down to see some bandages on his torso, and his arm was also bandage, but was held by a sling hung around his neck.
"Hey Brooklyn you're awake," Brooklyn turn to see Garland in a few bandages, as he head to the bed that he was in.
"What happened?" asked Brooklyn.
"You've won Brooklyn," replied Crusher as he came in with Mystel.
"Yeah that was way intense between you and Darien back there," Mystel added.
"And now you are the heir of Blood Trillium, boy, you'll be getting a lot of respect from Blood Trillium," Garland said.
"Don't worry about it Garland, just hang with me and you'll get respect as well," Brooklyn said, and with that they laugh for a bit, till Boris came in.
"Alright, you know that he needs some rest after winning, so, leave him to recover," Boris commanded.
"Yes sir," the three answered as they head out of the hospitalize room.
Boris headed to Brooklyn placing a hand on his shoulders. It was then that he said, "Congratulations for becoming the next heir of Blood Trillium."
"Thank you, sir," responded Brooklyn.
"But I want you to rest, so you can recover and be in good health, is that understood?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll leave you to rest."
With that Boris headed out of the hospitalize room, closing the door behind him.
'Wow, me an heir of Blood Trillium," Brooklyn thought.
He rested his head on his pillow, sensing that the sun is soon to rise and it was time to sleep.
Before falling asleep, he smiled at one last thought.
'It will be a huge change.'
