Chapter 2

"What just happened?" I asked myself confused at the events that just took place, 'Oh well! who cares I am finally free, I don't have to fight anymore.'

I looked around to see if I could figure out where I am. Not that I have ever really gone anywhere outside. I would have no idea where I am even if I knew the name of the place, I think I'm lost.

We have been fighting for 20 minutes now, not getting anywhere. We have laid a couple of hits on each other but nothing major that would affect the way either of us move or fight.

'BEEP! BEEP!' Shit, I guess they got sick of us not getting anywhere.

Small tubes started to come up from all over the rink floor, about 50 or so. 'Shit! What the hell is this? I don't think I have ever seen or heard of this one before. It must be new, great we are the test subjects.'

Then water started to come from all the tubes. But it didn't look like ordinary water; it had a strange green colour to it and was slightly thicker than water.

Suddenly around 6 large platforms and 12 smaller ones started to rise from the ground, 'Guess we are supposed to stay on them and away from this 'water' and fight, well that makes it more interesting' I thought as I jumped on one cautiously just in case they were a trap. Much to my pleasure nothing came shooting up of the ground.

The water started to rise much fast as were the platforms. They both reached their destination: the water about 4 feet below the platform, while the platforms were around 30 feet below the electric field.

I was standing on one of the platforms, to the far right and my opponent on the far left. We both started jumping towards each other knowing that if we don't finish this fight soon something worst will happen.

Both determined not to be the loser, we know what will happen to the loser of this battle.

The loser of any battle in the rink is subjected to harsh treatment they call 'training'. What this 'training' is, well I guess you could call it an 'obstacle course'. The 'obstacles' are set up around the rink, but you don't know where they are, when they will come up or what they are. All this happens while fight an android, this 'training' is supposed to in prove our strength, stamina, tactics and reflexes. About 60% of fighters that do this 'training' die either from the 'obstacles', the android or exhaustion, so it's safe to say that neither of us want to go through the 'training'.

We finally reach each other; I notice he is preparing for his trademark move. His trademark is like a shock wave in the form of a punch and no one has ever come out of it without a concussion, broken bones and internal bleeding. 'I need to get out of the way and quick!'

He started to swing towards me; I quickly jump up to get out of the way. "FUCK!" 'I forgot about the electric field. This is going to hurt'. I brace for the pain of the impact, shutting my eyes tightly 'ok I am as ready as I will ever be'.

I am waiting for the impact 'I should have hit it already'. I start to open one of my eyes and then shoot them both open. I went through the electric field, how is that even possible. I was the top of the wall decide to land on it. "Shit!" 'How am I still ok, I should be unconscious right now?' I looked around to find that everyone is staring at me in silent shock, fearing for their lives.

BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP! It's the emergency alarms, I need to get out of here before they catch me. Now's my chance while everyone is running to the exits panicking, I can jump in to the crowd while the guards are distracted and walk out.

'All I need to do is make my demon appendages disappear. Lucky I have been practising and can do it for about an hour. That should be plenty of time to get away right'. When they disappeared with a slight poof I jumped into the crowd and picked up a hat and long coat that was sitting on the ground, hiding my face and clothing so I wouldn't be noticed.

I followed the crowd passed the security guards and through the exit, thank goodness they didn't notice me. I start to walk down the street not really paying any attention as to where I am going. I just want to get away from this place, as fast as possible.

When I decided that I was far enough away from that prison, I looked around to try and find a place I could stay before it got dark. I am exhausted from running and hiding my demon appearance.

I see a small hotel that looked to be cheap enough. I dig into my pocket to find the roll of cash that I had been saving up from the fights I had won. Each fight you win you get given money, the amount of money is decided on who you fight, the lower the number to more money you receive. I grab a couple of notes and walked into the hotel stuffing the rest of the roll back in my pocket.

"Welcome to sakura tree hotel, how may I help you", I was greeted by a young girl that looked to be around 24. "Could I have a room for one please", I asked hoping they wouldn't ask for ID. 'Shit!' I could feel my demon appendages starting to reappear I need to hurry I can't hold them back for much longer.

"Shore how many nights are you planning on staying"

"One night thank you"

"That will be $55 and I am going to need to see some ID", shit I thought I was going to get away with it. I need to think fast.

I pulled out the notes I had ready, there was about $360, I placed it all on the counter and slowing slid it over to her. Her eyes widened a little then she took the cash looking to see if anyone saw and shoved it in her pocket then looked at me.

"Right this way sir I will show you to your room", she replied with a big smile. Thank goodness she took the money.

"Call if you need anything", she added before she left. "Thanks", I replied with a small smile.

I walked in my room, on the right there is simple double bed with two bed side tables with two draws in each of them. On the other side a small wooden table with two matching chairs and a small TV in the corner. Two other rooms ran off from this one a kitchenette and a bathroom.

I let my demon appendages reappear as soon as I closed and locked the door. "I am exhausted". I walked into the kitchenette which consisted of a small fridge, a sink, a microwave, a kettle and some bench space.

I started looking for anything that I could eat and wasn't surprised to find nothing but tea bags and some instant coffee. 'I guess I will have to go out and eat then. At least I will be eating something good for a change, I am actually kinda excited to eat something other than the crap they call food back at the SD fighting rink'.

I walked into the small bathroom to find a toilet, a sink with a mirror above it, a basket with soap, shampoo and conditioner placed neatly inside, a towel folded beside the basket and a small shower in the corner.

I quickly go undressed and showered washing my hair for the first time since, well ever. 'I will need to buy some new clothing' I though as I dried myself and put the dirty clothing back on. I had a quick look in the mirror then left the bathroom to take a seat at the small table.

I counted the remaining cash and checked the pockets in the coat I took. I emptied them onto the table and found a small amount of cash about $15, a piece of mint gum, a lighter and a small chocolate bar.

I grabbed the chocolate bar inspecting it to see if anything indicated if it was uneatable; it looked find. 'I don't think I have ever eaten chocolate before, I wonder if it is any good' I unwrapped it and took a small bit my eyes widened as the sweet chocolate hit my tongue and started to slowly melt, "WHOLY SHIT! This is the best stuff ever". I finished the chocolate bar, grabbing my things and headed to the bed to take a quick nap before I went back out. I took a quick look and the digital clock sitting on the bed side table it read 1:37pm and put my things in the top draw. I was so exhausted from hiding my demon appearance and escaping that fell asleep as soon as my head hit the softest pillow I had ever felt.

Sorry about the wait, i plan on uploading the next chapter this weekend. 'born on the day of earthquakes' thank you so much for your review. Thank you for the people that favorited and followed my fan fiction.
