Cage of the Shattered

Chapter 13

Mc ProjectRaijin and Niwa chapter 13Niwa and Raijin both made it to the arena. The ground was stillbroken up from the last few matches. Raijin's white hair blew in the wind.Raijin was wearing a typical black shirt and pants. His sword was missingas it was broken in the last battle. Niwa was still wearing her grey outfit. Herhair was moved out of the way. She was determined. The atmosphere wasfull determination and motivation. The two were clashing in mere moments.Niwa focused her attention on the boy in front. She could tell he was off.His facial expressions were not matching what was going on with thesurroundings. She assumed that his hearing was bad or that he was deaf.The crowd was cheering. Phones and cameras surrounded the arena.Helicopters were flying overhead to get a view of the superhuman fight thatwas about to take place. Niwa took her stance. "I have to end this quickly,"she thought. The speakers turned on."3... 2... 1... Let the battle begin!" The announcer said as Raijin wasjust standing there confused. Niwa then immediately hit Raijin with an iceattack. Raijin didn't even notice that the fight started. Raijin was wonderingwhy the crowd was cheering. He didn't know the fight started. The worldaround him was grey and silent. Raijin took a lot of damage from hisprevious fight. Before he could note that the girl in front of him moved, hegot hit back into the wall. Raijin got back up as Niwa kept on hitting Raijinwith ice attacks. Raijin didn't show any sign of pain or emotions. Niwa wasthen confused but she wasn't about to lose over something like that. Thewall crumbled on top of Raijin as he slowly tried to get back up. Niwa thenrushed toward Raijin with an ice spear. She then kept on hitting Raijin asRaijin was trying to dodge but Niwa was quicker. With Niwa's last attackwith the ice spear, it broke on impact as it hit Raijin's head. Raijin fell to theground as Niwa started feeling bad. Niwa then stepped back as she letRaijin get up. His arms were black and still had the burns from over usinghis flame abilities. Raijin struggled to stand. He slowly got on his knees andlooked up. Raijin then started rushing at Niwa until Niwa put out her rightfoot making Raijin fall down. Raijin then couldn't get back up as his facewas covered in blood. Raijin was struggling to get back up as Niwa was justsitting there watching Raijin trying to get up. Niwa then walked over as shetried to help Raijin up because she is a nice person. She touched Raijinand her hand was burnt. "What is this heat?" Niwa thought to herself as shestepped back. Raijin then finally got up as Niwa then formed an ice swordwhile shooting ice shards at Raijin. Raijin was just constantly getting hit asNiwa started hitting him with her ice sword. Raijin then started coughing upblood as Raijin fell back to the ground. "This will be an easy fight." Niwamurmured to herself as Raijin then got back up, looking at Niwa. Niwa thenrushed at Raijin once more trying to use her fire blasts but it had no effectas Raijin slowly walked to Niwa. Niwa then switched back to her ice attacksas this time Niwa made an ice hammer. It was heavier than she thought butshe hit Raijin and he slammed into the wall behind him. Raijin was on theground as Niwa then rushed toward him and slammed the ice hammer onthe ground which caused Raijin to be in a lot more pain. Niwa kept on herattack until her ice hammer melted because of Raijin heat. Raijin was nowon the ground as Niwa thought that she won...Raijin rolled onto the ground. His body was slightly numb due to hisbeat down by Deion. Raijin attempted to stand but then fell to the floor. Hisclothes were beginning to be covered with sand. Raijin could only glanceup to the blurry figure standing before him. His orange eyes were fading.His pupils got smaller. Raijin could barely move the joints in his body. Evenif it had been a day, he had not fully recovered. "You could have donebetter," Deion's voice echoed in the boys head. "All that hard work, to endup as nothing," the voice said in his mind. "Shut up," Raijin mumbled as heslammed his head into the ground to get up. His body refused. "Move body,move!" Raijin yelled. Raijin could do nothing but lift his head. Niwa stareddown at him. Bloody tears leaked from Raijin's eyes. The grey world aroundhim was fading to black. The ringing in Raijin's ears was growing. Blooddripped onto his dark skin. His ears were bleeding. Raijin was sufferingfrom a huge headache during the battle. His chances of winning were low.Raijin thought of his previous fights with Calista and Deion. Raijin wanted towin. He was mid way through the tournament. Raijin gritted his teeth andscooted his body up. Niwa stood and thought about what all the boy in frontof him could have gone through. "Time to finish this," Niwa said as she waspreparing a final attack. Raijin was not ready to submit.Flashing images appeared through Raijin's mind. The dark forest ofthe dark dimension filled his mind. Suddenly, the images became white. Hismind was blank. He suddenly heard a voice. "Do better," the voice saidcoming from behind Raijin. The voice was strange and young yet familiar.Raijin slowly began to rise from the ground. "I'll help you out. We need you.You're the key," the young voice said. Raijin looked behind him in his mindto see a boy standing there. The boy was wearing a black shirt with longblack hair with a red right eye. Niwa stood confused as Raijin was slowlygetting up. A picture of a mysterious boy would replace Raijin in her vision.Black antlers slowly began to grow out the sides of his head. Acid slowlydripped onto the sand of the colosseum. Raijin glared at the girl as heextended his hands out. His fingernails grew sharper. Raijin's teeth slowlybecame sharp as well with two fangs on the corners of his mouth. Raijinentered his ruined transformation.Raijin's mind was in a state it was never in before. Raijin couldalways understand what was going on, even in his transformation. With theinstincts of a deer- an animal trying to survive, Raijin moved like one. Hisbasic instincts took over. Raijin took a stance on all fours. Drool drippeddown his mouth. Like a tiger about to attack its prey, Raijin was waiting forNiwa to show signs of movement. "What are you, who are you," Niwamumbles to herself. She created multiple spears of ice that were sent flyingin Raijin's direction. Raijin quickly swiped them out of the air and thendashed side to side. Raijin's mind was blank. In his vision, he was still in awhite space with no sounds and nothing around him. Raijin swiftly hadheadbutt Niwa in the chest and it pushed her back several feet. Niwagrunted before creating multiple ice spikes in a row. Raijin subconsciouslyremembered that attack from Apollo Sloth. Electricity ripped through theground and broke the ice. Niwa regained her balance. "This will be tough,"she remarks.Electricity sparked around Raijin's feet as he dashed at the girl. Niwatook a step back before being slammed to the ground. Raijin crawled overher. He pulled back his arm and opened his hand. He then began to claw ather chest. Blood spilled onto her clothes and his fingers. She attempted topush him off before Raijin bit her neck. His fangs impaled the flesh. Raijinbegan to shake his head and slowly drag her through the ground. Raijinthen pulled his head back and ripped the flesh from her neck off. Niwamanaged to kick Raijin off. The boy glared at her before leaping onto heragain. Niwa attempted to block her face before Raijin bit her arm andbegan to pull. Raijin then stood up and threw her across the arena. Niwagroaned in pain as Raijin leaped into the air and crashed down onto herstomach. Raijin placed his knee onto her stomach and grabbed her facebefore slamming it into the ground. Debris exploded into the air. A cloud ofdust surrounded them. Raijin dragged her body upwards. She quickly triedto grab the blank antlers that protruded from his head but it was too hot.Small droplets of acid. She managed to create an ice spike that piercedRaijin's arm. The boy groaned for a moment before going further into hisprimal instinct. He then broke the spike and began to slice her face up withhis nails. Niwa kicked him in the chest. Raijin backed off for a momentbefore biting her leg and dragging and throwing her a few feet away by themouth. Raijin quickly rushed to her and then stood up.Raijin then stepped on her neck. Raijin then cocked back his arm andthen began to rapidly punch her stomach. Niwa grabbed Raijin's wrist buthe pulled back and grabbed her arm and slammed it into the ground. Raijinthen used his right arm and clawed at her sides. His long fingernailsimpaled her side. Raijin then bit her neck once more before picking her upand flipping her over his shoulder. Her back slammed into the ground andcaused cracks to form across the colosseum stands. "Please, I don't wannadie. Please stop!!" Niwa kept yelling out over and over as she wasstruggling to speak because of the pain she was in. Niwa kept begging andbegging.Yui then saw the fight going down as she was afraid for Niwa safety as shewas getting beat so bad even after she lost consciousness. Yui then rushedto the announcer area and told the announcer what was happening andthat he needed to stop the fight. The man was tall with spiky long brownhair in a black business suit. "What are you doing in here, you are notsupposed to be here," the man said casually. Yui didn't realize that she hadencountered Apollo Wrath. Wrath was on the phone with his underlings andwas making sure the machines under the arena were fully working. Themachines were absorbing energy and DNA through the arena floor. Wrathwas just about to head into the dark dimension before Yui walked in. Yuiwas confused in the situation. To her The announcer just smirked and thentook her and put him in this dimension. "This is the Blight dimension. Havefun here until I reunite you with your friend." The announcer said that hehas brown hair and a black business suit on. He just started laughing asYui was now trapped in the Blight dimension.Due to Raijin's ears still ringing from the damage he took during hisfight with Deion, he couldn't understand her request. Before Niwa couldspeak another word, hands wrapped around her throat. Raijin began tochoke her violently. Niwa then thought about her past. Niwa thought of howher father abandoned her when she was only six years old and how herfather would beat her mother to near death and even her when she waslittle. Her father would drink a lot of alcohol until he left this family. That isthe reason why Niwa treats everyone equally because she thinks no onedeserves the same pain she deals with.One day when she was at elementary school, she met this pink hairgirl called Yui, the one she knows now. She was outside, walking homefrom school until someone hit her with a rock and she fell down to theground. Yui looked at the time and stood in front of Niwa while she was onthe ground. "STOP THAT!!" Yui yelled out at this bully as she then threw arock at Yui at this time. Yui then ran toward the bully and knocked herdown. She was crying on the ground as she called her mother. A teacherthen walked over as she asked what was going on as the bully lied abouteverything. Niwa and Yui then got suspended for ten days. They walkedhome as they were both crying. "Cheer up!" Yui said as she was wiping hertears from her face. "We will be fine, stay optimistic and I'm sure everythingwill work out in the end!" Yui said as she had this saddened smile. "Who...are you?" Niwa said as she was trying to hold back her tears. "Oh, myname is Yui and what is yours?" Yui said as Niwa then wiped tears from herface. "I am Niwa." Niwa said as they both continue walking down the road."Hey... can I stay at your place for the time being?" Niwa said as she didn'twanna go back to her house to get beat by her father. "Sure, but you will
