Son of Death

Part 4- The Duelist

"i guess not" i reply with dread as we keep walking towards the coliseum. i lean in and whisper, "think we could possibly clear a path and manage to run?" she shakes her head and stays silent, she looks terrified and as we get closer she grabs onto my arm. "don't worry..you'll make it out alive i promise." she looks at me and laughs. "oh, riight because you'll proteect me?" she says her voice dripping with sarcasm. "yes  i will." i say seriously. she looks surprised and looks away her face slightly red. "you ok?" i ask, "sh-shut up" she retorts, i sigh as we arrive at the doors. i look at her. "ready?...we will get through this." i say then i mutter "for leo....". we push open the doors and walk in. it was a small room with 2 wooden chairs and a gate that's closed and has a blanket covering so we couldn't see out of it. "what the..? what is this place?" she looks around then looks at me. "it's a coliseum based off roman times they are going to face us, i'm guessing earths champions, to their champions." i look at her. "well we have a couple minutes to prepare then right?" she nods and sighs.  "richard...if we never get out of this alive-" i shush her. "we will so save whatever you have to say till we win." she looks away. we wait in silence for a minute before the gate opens and two buff demons walk in with prods. "get out there..." it hisses with a malicious grin. is sigh and we start to walk. she trips but before she falls she catches her balance. "get moving!" the other one says and pulls back his prod and moves it forward but it's stopped. i reach out and grab the prod. "keep you and your filthy hands off of her..." she looks at me. "you shouldn't have done that.." the demons seethe and point us along. we walk and we come to a large circle with stands all around us. and they're filled with demons, and up in a boxed off section is Mr. Black eyes himself. i look at him and we lock eyes for a second then his eyes move to Luna and he grins then he laughs, not the funny laughter, the laughter like he knows something evil and he finds it funny kind of laugh. i look at Luna, "er...wha...?" my voice seems to fade out as i see her eyes turning a red-violet color, and her eyes full of malice, looking right at Black Eyes. i look at the opposite side as i hear a roaring and a rattle of the cage. "hey luna focus here,something is coming our way." she looks at me with a fury. "dom't get in my way and i won't kill you...." she leaps up and grabs a crack in the coliseum wall and climbs up her bat already smacking across the first demon's jaw dislocating it with a loud crack. "i'm going to kill you all!!" she was still fighting when my attention went to the other side of the coliseum where the gate opened and a huge 8 foot tall giant red skinned, long black claws and huge muscles walked out. "holy...mother...of..." it roars and looks at Luna, i know this is stupid but i touch my ring and my scythe pops out, i pick it up and i throw my scythe which impales his shoulder and lodges there. it turns to me enraged. "oh..bad move..." i run and it chases me. i turn a hard left right before i get to the wall of the arena and it follows except it doesn't turn very well and crashes into the wall sending cracks up the whole section. the demons pay no mind to the rack they just cheer for the brute. "hmm...that's interesting..." i muse as i run. it separates from the wall and grunts while shaking his head. i look at Luna who is engaging in a winning battle against the horde of demons. i look back at my own problem which is now charging at me. i touch my ring grinning getting my enhanced senses and my abilities and look at the brute which i now notice my scythe still lodged in it's shoulder. "that will probably debilitate him if i pull it down or out." i run at it and jump onto it's swinging arms and i use their momentum to fling me onto his shoulder. "wow...didn't think that would work..." i say then a hand smacks his shoulder right next to me smacking the scythe deeper causing him to roar in pain. "haha..he's pretty dumb too..." i go to the scythe and i jump onto the edge as he smacks it again. i then take my foot and push against it's back causing it to rip out tearing flesh. "now to finsih this..." i reach into his heart and i pull out it's soul. "be forever reaped fiend." it disapears into my scythe and i look up at luna smiling, but luna couldn't look back she was hovering midair held by the neck by mr.black eyes. "oh no.."
