Innocent Demon

Chapter 3

The rest of the story will be from a narrative point of view instead now as I think that is the best

"fight, fight, fight-" echoed throughout the building and grew louder as Aadila's breath quickened in fright and confusion in the darkness of her confined box. Suddenly she was thrown out of the box onto the ground bloodied, dirt covered ground. A shadow casted over her for a second and a figure appeared opposite her as she looked up wearily.

This mutant bared scars, scorches, bites and buries all over their body from battles with previous opponents. They were obviously out of breath and weak from them.  His body shifted from solid to a black cloud for a second.

A shadow mutant.

Men around the cages clicked their guns as people began to boo at the two, as they stood opposite each other with a lack of movement besides the trembling waves Aadila felt in her tail and shoulder. Her eyes dilated in horror as she finally understood what she was in.

"We must fight! in order to not get shot." The Shadow shouted over the aggressive crowd in a strained voice.

Aadila panicked as she looked around at all of the unfamiliar, evil faces and then back to the yellow glowing eyes of the shadow. She nodded slowly before mustering the courage to save her own skin. A sudden kick of energy ran through her frame as her eyes gleamed a bright amber from the mixture of pink and orange in her eyes as her senses heightened, summoning her powers in her veins, gathering the earth's loosened ground around her forming a dust cloud. All you could see were her eyes.

The crowd began to cheer as the shadow shifted in the dark spaces around the cage lunging towards her as he hissed. Reeling back his fist and slamming down on the dust as it dissipated and he stood up triumphantly in his solid form as the non mutants cheered. As he turned his head to the side a gust of dust knocked him hard into the electric fence. Sending shocks from hell through his body as he shifted from solid to a black cloud screaming out in pain.

The fight went on and on. Aadila earned her bruises and gashes from the opponent. She panted heavily as she struggled to continue not able to use her powers as a sudden blow to the side of her head was made. Knocking her to the ground as she struggled to get back up she saw through blurred vision a blue figure rushing over to her as sirens suddenly rang and the place around her ascended onto chaos before she blacked out as she was lifted from the ground.

Kurt and Peter had finally arrived at the coordinates given to them. Egypt. Desert sand for miles and miles.
Powering the jet down Kurt unbuckled himself as Peter opener the back loading door and zipped out. The blue boy sighed and shook his head, "so much for company." He muttered under his breath before Peter came back in.
"The coast is clear!" He said excitedly with a large grin stretching from ear to ear.
"Oh. Okay let's go then." Kurt said surprised as he stood up from his seat and walked off the jet with Peter beside him looking like a child at Christmas. In the near distance as they walked, a small ,ancient village appeared over the mount of sand they were walking up. "That must be it." Kurt said checking his GPS that glitched slightly from the lack of internet. He looked back up from the screen and squinted in the bright blazing light of the sun, shading his eyes with his hand as they descended down the hill sliding slightly as the loose ground gave every now and then. Once they reached the village boarder it wasn't long till the people around started to whisper and point at them, baffled by the sight of a 'devil' and a guy in all silver kitted out in armoured suits. As they walked, Kurt couldn't help but feel ashamed of his looks as he tried to avoid eye contact with anyone; tail hung low to try and make it less noticeable. Peter noticed his friends nervous behaviour and patted him on the shoulder in reassurance with a smile gaining a small smile from Kurt as he nodded back to him in appreciation for his comfort.
Kurt reaches into his back pocket and pulled out the photo of Aadila and unfolded it.
"I'm guessing that's the girl we're after? She's pretty." Peter hummer as Kurt rolled his eyes and elbowed him in the side gaining a grunt from Peter and a pouted look.
"Yes it is, be careful though. I read in her file that there are mutant hunters hear, so keep an eye out." Peter saluted him and nodded as he separated from Kurt in the small market square and looked around for the yellow mutant. So far not good.
Kurt went down an ally way and walked around the twisting maze of dirt walls, peaking into windows to see if she was inside. But no luck. When he came out of the maze of houses on the other side of the village he heard an engine roar to life and men shouting at one another to hurry. His eyes widened as he saw one of the men carrying a limp body to a box before putting it in it. But upon doing so a yellow arm was uncovered from the brown cloak. Kurt gasped and called for Peter as the men loaded. However the com-link was static. Cursing under his breath he was torn on going to get Peter of fighting the men. He looked back over his shoulder down the ally before snapping his head back to the vehicle that started to drive off. His tail swished as he made a risky decision. He teleported below the jeep and latched on for dear life. Thank God he had the ability to do so.

The journey was long and bumpy. Kurt struggled immensely to hold on tight. But finally the jeep came to a screeching halt. He looked to the drivers side and saw two feet land on the ground.
"Alright Grey. Get that box in that arena now. That girl would have woken up by now." The man spoke demandingly in a gruff voice as another man from the passenger side jumped out of the vehicle and ran the the back of the jeep.
Kurt teleported to the shadows near by and hid behind a crate and watched the men take the box into a tall graffitied building before slamming the door shut.
Putting a finger up to his com-link he called Peter.
"I -"
"What the hell dude! I thought you were a goner where are you?" Peter near enough screamer downcthe link causing Kurt to wince.
"Sorry, sorry. I had to choose whether to follow the men that took her or go and get you when they were about to leave....come in the jet. I'm sending my coordinates now. I think I'm at some sort of black market auction house."
"Okay. Oh god. I'm on my way." Peter said and then hung up the phone.
Minutes past by before Kurt heard shouting and cheering.
Oh god. He was wrong about his assumption. Very wrong.
In a panicked fury he teleported to the roof and looked in through the skylight mucky windows to see a large circular cage and many, many people surrounding it cheering and chanting. When he looked back at the cage he witnessed the girl being thrown from the box into the ring...just like he was once at a mutant fighting ring.

He had to do something. He had to do it fast!

Kurt panicked as he watched the girl get beaten by the other opponent brutally to the ground. Before in the distance he heard the all to familiar sound of the jet landing and he smiled relieved his friend had arrived. When he teleported to the ground Peter came out of nowhere. "I'm ready." He said about to push the doors open.
"Vait! There are guards you can't jus-" before Kurt got to finish his sentence Peter was gone and people began to run out of the door he was stood in front of. He gasped almost getting trampled on and teleported inside the building. He looked around before seeing peter at the electrical switch. 'He works fast.'Kurt thought before running over to the cage that was now disabled. He teleported into it and ran to the girl's side as she collapsed for a second time from her weak arms and blacked out. He scooped her fragile body up into his arms and looked over to Peter who gestures for him to hurry outside and that they did. Running over to the jet and laying her down on the medic bed.
"Quick! Get us back to the mansion!" Kurt said to Peter in panic as the Silver guy started up the jet and set off for the X-Men Mansion.
