Beasties

It was time to make an entrance, the beasties arena was all cement walls that stood sixteen feet up, the crowd roaring in anticipation as the last fight got them riled up and wanting more. Devon stepped out of the curtains his short brown hair flowing in the air as his freckled pale skin made him visible to everyone. He wore a red t-shirt and loose jeans, as they flashed his beasties name "Slasher" as he held his hands out, she stepped out behind him as she hissed at the crowd. The people closest tried to back off not wanting to get harmed. That's when he tapped on a device surgically attached to the side of his head linking him to her but he only did twenty percent. She hated when he took full control, so instead he helped guide her in the fight as the other team stepped of their curtains waving their arms getting the crowd going. Devon stood center and crossed his arm as Slasher climbed down standing before her gate. She stood ten feet tall making her the shortest beastie ever, but her track record was forty-nine wins. Her shin was a sleek gray color, her arms were long enabling her to crawl around on all fours and for quick strikes, her single tail was six feet long and came to a bone dagger tip. Her fingers were long and thin with claw like nails, on the back of each hand were hooked bone blades that ran along her fingers, each one could extend or retract as she desired. Her head was on narrow and round, her teeth razor sharp allowing her to rip and tear if need be.

In front of her the gate started to open as a huge beast pushed his way out the curtain over its head read "Apex Hunter" a renowned beast with thick armored plates on its back, leaving it's chest and stomach open to those that dare get in to close. It's arms and legs were short, its flat tail dragging behind it as he stood up he towered a full sixteen feet tall as it roared. The man opposite devon grinned as he sat down and tapped on his synopsis, closing his eyes he took full control of his beastie. He stares us down as Slasher stands up and looks at Devon, her eyes wide and her fear filling his head. He nodded to her his mind calming her down as she looked at the beast before her. Splaying out Her hands and fingers she hisses, telling him to bring it on. As the bell rings he charges in fast swinging his claws, she dodged his swipes avoiding his reach as she even jumps on the Wall and laughing herself behind him landing on her hands and feet quickly attacking his back, but only sparks flash as sparks appear. She jumps back gaining distance so she could hunt her new prey, this was the first beast she had ever fought against that had thick armored plates for skin. She looked at her nails seeing his skin had sharpened her claws, but how could she, the picture of jumping appeared in her mind and she immediately followed it by jumping. He had swung his tail and missed her at the last second, he was taking the offensive now and that meant she had to dodge him and keep her distance. She hated being defensive but devon was right and she needed to win or be killed, she had been raised to hunt and kill effectively abd this fight was a big test. Devon only intervened when she was in trouble and only because he trusted her, thats why it shook him seeing apex suddenly charge forward and curl up like an armadillo and rolling at her full speed.

She sidestepped him but she was close to the wall allowing him to bounce off it hitting her in the chest and knocking her down. Devon looked at her worried, she got up already having a plan as he sighed in relief. Apex rolled rolled around making a u-turn. She ran towards him as he came at her, at the last second she jumped to the side her tail thrusting into his center hitting his stomach as she jumped up, holding the ledge next to Devon as she looked at him. He couldn't resist and leaned down rubbing her cheek as this was their sign to end the fight. Apex sprawled out and rested on a knee holding his stomach, she wasted no time and jumped on his back slashing at his armored neck shaveing away the armored plating quite easily before she took her bone blades to the opposite sides oh his neck extending then she pulled her arms quickly back up flexing as she let loose a roar of triumph.

To the confused crowd Slasher hopped down and climbed up next to Devon, picking him up and setting him on her head as she then picked up the other two crewmen in the palm of her hands, holding them up high. Apex turns and snarls when his vision drops to the floor with a loud and wet splat, he opens his eyes seeing his beast drop to the floor decapated. He roared inrage as the crowd screamed in awe cheering and chanting "Slasher", some even called her the unbeatable queen of the beasts. That weren't far off as Devon rubbed her head as he knew she loved the attention more than he ever did, but he liked making her happy. Later they were getting her in the back of their truck so she could rest and heal, they had gotten paid for the fight and wanted to move on when apex's controller stormed up slamming him into the trailer, "you're nothing but a cheater! And I want my money!!" He screamed in devons face. Drops of goo dripped down and when he looked look Slasher snarled at him and pushed him to the ground as she snapped her teeth mere inches from his face. "Looks like your queen just spared you. Be grateful to her Joey or next time she won't" he patted her head and walked to the back with her following as they got in their truck pulled out, headed off down the road to where ever they wanted.
