Chapter 6

Battle of Adventurers pt 2

Yami has been eliminated! 13 competitors remain!

Kage snickered. As much as he wanted to be the one snuff out the original Victoria, the other one still remained. But, she was a challenge for later. At the moment, he was taking on Kyoushi. Which, was surprisingly more one-sided then he expected. He hadn't even scored a single hit upon her yet, while his opponent just skated around and landed a few blows upon him.

"If you were a soldier in my army, you wouldn't last two minutes." Kyoushi declared as a kunai headed towards her. She merely swiped it away, launching it up into the sky. A few seconds later, the blade was embedded into the floor.

"Fuck you." Kage answered and the hive queen laughed. As much as she wanted to make him one of her many slaves, it wasn't an option at the moment. She pulled her flute out, beginning to play out a tune that sounded like that of a cat puking it's meal out. Then a large swarm of anthro bee warrior things materialised into existence. "Shit."

His once casual walk quickly morphed into a full-on sprint. The bees gave chase as Kyoushi summoned a few more swarms in. He dug into his pocket, pulling some sort of clicker out. He clicked the button, causing the dark blade's old jalopy along with all the dark blades inside.

"What?" Kyoushi announced as bullets began to bounce along the stadium, As that happened, Kage got up on top, pulling a rocket-propelled shark launcher out of nowhere. "How is that fair?"

The platform slowly descended, giving the still living opponents a short coffee/tea break.

"All I said was kill each other." Chaos announced as the platform made it's full ascent back up. "Nothing more, nothing less."

"You heard the woman." Kage announced as Kyoushi still stood there. The jalopy then headed off, slamming through as many bee warriors as possible. Then, Kage fired the shark gun, watching the shark grab onto his opponent and gobble them up.

Kyoushi has been eliminated! 12 competitors remain!

"We are the dark blades, changers of fate! Bow before us and we shall spare you from from this place!" Their leader announced as the bee warriors flew off, only to get metal poles impaled through them.

"I will believe when I see it." A voice remarked as Chouko and Draoniamon headed towards the jalopy. "For it is but a mere claim, backed with no evidence."

Draonia Blaze!

Multiple red fireballs shout out from the dragoness, slamming into the jalopy. The vehicle promptly exploded, leaving just Kage standing there. The boy pulled then pulled two kunai out, wielding them as if they were knives.

"I'll show you proof!" Kage shouted, running towards his opponent. Chouko only did the same, possibly to annoy him. As the two got within striking distance, Kage threw his kunai at Chouko. She only ducked, slamming her weapons into him. This was then followed by a few more fireballs from Draoniamon, who was also approaching the two at a quite quick pace.

Kunai Rain!

Kage then jumped into the air, throwing down a few dozen kunai at Chouko. Chouko groaned, attempting to block as many kunai as she could from hitting her. Eventually, the rain of tiny blades did stop, only due to Kage finally running out of them after the twelfth barrage.

"If that's your proof," Chouko taunted as Draoniamon reached them. "You really need some help."
She then gave her partner a quick glance, getting a slight nod. Draoniamon then threw her human up into the air, allowing Chouko to land on Kage.

"Fate isn't something you control. Instead, it is based on your prior actions and their consequences."

Chouko slammed both blades into her opponent's body, immediately jumping off. A few seconds later, pink blood spewed out and Kage fell into it.

Kage has been eliminated! 11 competitors remain!

"So Mr gung-ho fell? It's one less person I have to deal with." Kaze remarked and cracked a smile. While he had only met Kage mere minutes before, he didn't really like him. It probably wasn't helped by the fact the dark blades member had attacked him and Tobi before the deathmatch started.

"Hey, aren't you going to take me on?"

The exiled writer turned around, finding Marissa and DutchessGreymon standing before him.

"Damn you, Miguel Parks!" Kaze announced, only for the princess and her dino to stare blankly at him.

"What are you even talking about?" Marissa asked and Kaze ignored her.

"None of your business." Kaze then ran towards his opponent, only to get launched into the wall on the other end of the stadium by the princess.

"Is that so?" Marissa jumped onto DutchessGreymon, the two heading right towards Kaze.

"Fuck." Kaze thought as he noticed the dino and princess heading towards him. He looked down at his saber. "Well sword, you're my only hope."

He held his saber in front of him, waiting for DutchessGreymon to approach. A few seconds later, the opposing duo were charging towards him.

"I guess this is the end of you!" Marissa announced, only for Kaze to stab DutchessGreymon's left leg. The blade then shot out of the dino's leg, spraying it with a beam of water similar to that of a fireman's hose. Somehow, Kaze was still holding onto the blade. "Hey!"

As a result, DutchessGreymon fell over on her left side.

"Looks like your dino took an arrow to the knee." Marissa screamed, kicking her opponent in the groin. Kaze responded with a low swing to her knees, knocking her back a tiny bit.

Beauty Senshi Slash!

Marissa slammed her folding fans into Kaze's neck, cutting it in one foul swoop. The head immediately fell to the ground, frozen with shock. The rest of his limp body followed right after, oozing with pink blood.

Kaze Jukia has been eliminated! 10 competitors remain!

"Half-way mark!"

Varia groaned. At the moment, she was taking on Jestery. Which, wouldn't be that much of a hassle if Jestery didn't wish every hit that Varia managed to get away.

"Varia needs to have a little fun." Jestery remarked and Varia grabbed onto the jester's neck, attempting to choke her. "Jestery wishes for Varia to stop choking her!"

Varia released her grip and took a few steps back. After, she pulled her gladius back out. It was probably her fifth or sixth attempt at this point. She had tried a variety of techniques on the jester, to no avail.

"How is this fair?" The witchmon rip-off announced, only for Jestery to laugh.

"Varia really expected this to be fair?"

"Possibly?"

"Varia expects too much."

Jestery pulled her hat off, slamming it into Varia. Like Kaze, Varia was strangely flung to the other side of the stadium. Jestery then placed her hat back on and waited.

Holy: Shield!

A golden shield formed around her, ready to withstand whatever Jestery could throw at her. In this case, cartoon anvils and safes. Varia took another deep breath. She couldn't keep it up much longer. But, she had used most of her offensive rune combinations along with her one healing rune. The only one left, was a new one. During her time with Davis, the two had discovered an old cave, where the rune was located. Paintings of ancient digimon, capable of time travel were plastered about it,

Maste: Blade!

Both of her gladius now glowed with grey energy and Varia smiled. She had expected her blades to either be flung backwards or catapulted forwards in time. She headed back towards Jestery, making sure not to get hit by an anvil or a safe.

"Yay! Varia has returned to play with me!" Jestery began to clap as Varia reached her. "What's that Varia got?"

Varia swung both of her gladius at her opponent, slamming them right through her stomach. She then followed it up with some slashes to her legs, head and whatever body parts she missed in the past strikes. Once she was done, there was no sign of Jestery.

Jestery has been eliminated! 9 competitors remain!

"I guess we're the last three to fight."

Rantha stared at Byaka and Lilithmon.

"Messenger, come forth from the void!" Rantha announced, causing a ball-shaped orb of light to appeared beside him.

"Ooh! Dead man's volley!" Syo added as Rantha slammed his naginata into the summon. The summon flew through the air, reaching Syo. Syo slammed the creature with her scissors, knocking it over Byaka. Byaka slammed his sword into it and missed. As per the rules of this, Syo impaled in a half-dozen places and left him to die.

Byaka Togami has been eliminated! 8 competitors remain!

"Ready?" Syo inquired and Rantha nodded. He slammed Messenger into Syo. Somehow, this gave the reaper thing little time to react. As a result, she turned a pile of black goop. Strangely, the tune "Ding-Dong the witch is dead" began to play for a few seconds.

Syo has been eliminated! 7 competitors remain!

"Oh yeah!" Rantha announced as Chouko ran towards him. "What's your problem?"

"Let's see... " Chouko remarked, slamming her combat knives into Rantha's naginata. "This is a death match, meaning everyone has to die."

"In that case." Rantha answered, knocking his opponent against the wall. "Alkonost, come forth from the void!"

Messenger then exploded in a flash of light with a large falcon-like bird with a rainbow-colored plumage. Alkonost gave a few squawks, only to get "the look" from it's master.

"Seriously?" Chouko accused as Draoniamon approached at a quite rapid pace.

"Do your stuff, girl."

Alkonost then soared up into the air, heading over to Draoniamon.

Draonia Blaze!

Draoniamon launched a few fireballs off, only for the bird to dodge her projectiles. Once the two were spitting distance, Alkonost opened it's mouth and screamed. Chouko and Rantha only watched as the hot pink dragoness kneeled before the bird, waiting for further instructions.

"Draoniamon, attack Chouko."

Draoniamon nodded, pulling her longswords out.

"Draoniamon, stop this at once!" Chouko announced, only to get a blank stare from her partner. The tamer only sighed, slamming her knives into the digimon. Or she would have, if Rantha hadn't slammed the blade of his naginata through her chest.

"Oops!" Rantha remarked as Alkonost devoured Chouko's corpse,

"What is your next order, master Rantha?"

"Your services are done."

Draoniamon kneeled before the summoner, reverting back to Veemon.

"Thank you!" The digimon announced and skipped along the wall of the stadium.

Toxic Blade!

A blade of solid green slammed into wyvern, causing the dragon to explode into confetti.

Chouko has been eliminated! 6 competitors remain!

"Looks like your master dead, Victoria." Varia announced, making a taunting face towards Victoria The black cat only sighed and ran towards her opponent. "Time for you to join to her."

Varia swung her gladius at the super ultimate, only to connect with nothing.

"I think I could say the same about you." Victoria answered, stabbing her butterfly swords into the magical girl.

Dark Fryer!

A large purple flame engulfed Varia, turning her into some chicken fingers. Victoria then picked the pieces up and ate them.

Varia has been eliminated! 5 competitors remain!

Coincidentally, a hawkmon slammed into the stadium right after she did this.

.

In the distance, a figure watched. He was dressed like all the other protagonists, white t-shirt with a pair of shorts. His blonde hair was cut short, complimenting his green eyes. Two longswords hung on his back, along with a white boomerang sitting right above it.

Hovering slightly overhead, was a hawk. There wasn't really anything special about the hawk, other than it having one red and one green eye. Beside the hawk, was an average crow. Like the hawk it was pretty average, other than it having one purple and one dark blue eye. He made a quick glance to his two birds, who gave a slight nod. The three immediately headed off, ready to fight...

Notes:

Yes, I realize this chapter could have been better. But, it was still fun to write.
