Of Angels and Demons: Ragnarok

Anix Returns With Fighting Passion

Azoria stares at the sky in silence for several minutes before he looks at me. "I'm fine. I was only remembering some old friends." He says as I close my eyes. I'm assuming they died, but what made him remember? I think as he walks to me. "Don't concern yourself with it, I'm fine." He says as I feel anger and sadness behind his voice. As I start to reply, a portal forms behind Azoria. Anix walks out with a wide grin on his face. "Kai, guess what?" he asks as he gets close to me and reaches into his back pocket. "Wha-" I don't get to reply before he pulls out a piece of folded paper and hands it to me. As I unfold it I see it's a fighting tournament flyer. After closer inspection I notice my name, along with Anix's are in the 16 man fighting tournament. "What's this?" I ask hoping it's a joke. He smiles and pats my shoulder. "I entered us in a human fighting tournament." He says as I stare at him blankly. "Are you retarded?" I mumble as he sighs. "Come on little bro, loosen up. We won't show our powers. We'll just fight in our base forms." He says as I squint. "Huh? What's wrong?" He asks as I keep squinting. "Sorry, I'm just trying really hard to see how you thought this was a good idea." I say as he laughs. "Come on, the tournament is in an hour. It was an open invite tournament a few towns over." He says as I think about it for a minute. "Fine, but if I win, You have to do any 1 thing I say." I say as he smiles and nods. Sakara jumps on my back. "I know you'll win." She says as I sigh. "Alright Anix, Teleport us there." I say as he nods. He quickly snaps and we all appear behind a large building. I can hear people yelling inside. He leads us to the front door. The security guard backs away as Anix walks in and I follow. I see a 30 foot by 30 foot wood stage with some cloth covering it. "This is where we'll fight." He says as he looks around. Azoria and Sakara both tap my shoulder. I turn around and they point to some bleachers. "We'll just watch." Sakara says as Azoria nods. I stretch and watch as some people walk over to me. "Are you here to enter the tournament?" The man asks as I nod. He smiles and pulls out a sheet of paper. "How old are you and what's your name?" He asks as I smirk. "I'm 21 and my name is Kai Narukami." I say as he smirks. "Cool, you'll be in the 2nd turn fight. That's what the schedule says." He says as he shows me the 8 matches. I nod and stretch some more. The first matche takes around 2 or 3 minutes. "Next match: Kai vs. Robert!" The announcer yells as the opponent and I enter the ring. He has a mohawk and a sleeve less shirt on. I roll my eyes and keep my hands at my side. He quickly enters a karate stance of some sort. He sits and waits for me to attack. I quickly walk toward him and throw a punch. He barely steps to the side and tries to punch me in the face. I quickly pull my other arm across and grab his fist. I put my foot between his and sweep his legs. As he hits the mat I hear a whistle blow. A referee quickly runs over and taps my back. "The winner is Kai!" The announcer yells and I blink a few times. Well that was boring. I think as I see Anix and the next opponent walk onto the mat. I quickly hop off the mat. "Next match: Anix vs. Nixon!" The announcer yells as the match starts. I see Anix rush toward him and in one fluent movement kick Nixon completely off the stage. I watch on and smile. That's my brother for you. I say as the next 4 matches go by really quickly. I don't pay attention to any other fights or any other participants. Suddenly I hear my name called and I get back on the mat. I see a dude with scars all over him climb up on the mat also. He's about a full foot taller than me. I feel a little bit of energy flowing off of him. He's human, but he has a little bit of demon power inside of him. I think as he sprints toward me. He quickly throws a punch and I dodge easily. I counter with a half-power kick to his ribs. He slides back to the edge of the mat but doesn't fall off. Huh, his power is slowly rising. He quickly sprints toward me throwing a flurry of punches. As soon as I notice an opening I grab his wrist then jump up and kick him on the side of his head. He falls to the mat hard as I quickly push my self away and land on my feet slightly off balance. The referee runs onto the mat as I see Anix get on the mat. "Doesn't this mean I'm fighting Anix next round?" I mumble as I watch him quickly dispatch the opponent and throw him off the mat. As he hops off he walks up to me. "Alright bro, we're gonna fight next. Hope you're ready to see what happens when someone trains and the other doesn't." Anix says as I smirk. Out of the corner of my eye I see a man go flying off the mat. I look up and see a man wearing a zipped up black jacket and a mask. "Regyura." Anix says without looking back. "He's definetly a demon that's hiding his power." Anix says as the man looks at me. I feel a powerful presence from just his gaze. So he'll be in the finals for sure.
