The Night We Fell Apart

Chapter 12: A DEMON AND BEAST

Slowly walking toward Macho, the slick-haired demon took a flash step, launched at Macho, and slammed his fingers into his stomach. The pressure from that hit alone was enough to bring Macho from his knees. "Oh, before I forget, my name is Key. I will be the one to defeat you." He said with a grin that would give you chills. Macho, hunched over in pain, could not do anything but take the defeat. Key slammed his foot into his neck. His body was rendered motionless, almost as if he was dead.

Macho felt hopeless, and nothing seemed to be going his way. He then heard a voice ring in his head. "I want to make it to the end with you, Macho. Once we win the trials, I will take you on!" Carter said to him before the trials with a smile on his face. "I have to win, not for me. But for my teammates that need me. AND I NEED THEM!" He said, floating up into the air. Macho let off an enormous roar, sending Key skidding back just a bit. "Hmm, so show me the beast's power, Kratos!" Key yelled. Macho looked even more buff than ever, with his hair a vibrant white and his eyes a bright red. Key powered up as well, charging up. His aura was formed around a purple and red mixture. He started to grow horns longer than they were before. Key ripped off his shirt, and there was a demonic curse mark on his chest. "A battle between a demon and beast, huh?" Said the mysterious man. He had been petting his cat, watching the battle intensely. "This should be interesting."

Key and Macho rush at each other, sending off a complete shock wave that makes each dungeon shake. "What the hell was that?!'' Said a heavyset man. The man was around 5'7 ish and was built. "Man, Butch. What did you get yourself into!" He ran across the hall, trying to get to the exit. "Whoa, what was that?" Said Frost, lying in the cage. The cage had been over a lava pit slowly descending into their doom. Silas smiled and looked up at the ceiling. "Macho, you did it." Said Silas, looking back at his team and smiling."You broke that barrier you had on yourself," Carter said, looking around and finding Mike fighting the giant head-on. "I.. am fine." Carter got up, wincing in pain; he dashed over to Mike and stood beside him. The giant looked at Carter and wondered how he was still alive. The giant looked over at Derek, healing Flip. He was enraged and blasted a large energy wave the size of Jupiter at Derek.

Key had been thrown around by Macho. He looked like a rag-doll when Macho was swinging him around. It seemed Macho was overpowering Key. Key had been enraged that he was losing and charged a wave of energy from his body that shocked Macho. "Y-You bastard! I won't lose to the likes of you!" Key rushed at Macho with the charge wave of energy. Macho powered up, even more, sending off a large energy wave. Mike looked over at Derek, pulled his hand from his pocket, and charged a massive wave of energy covering almost the ceiling area. "SHIT! DEREK, LOOK OUT!" Mike said, trying to rush over towards the energy wave.

Carter pulled Mike back, throwing himself into the blast, taking the damage. "CAAARRTER!" yelled all of them."Hmm, the outcome of both Teams 2 and 4 fascinates me. Who is the kid who sacrificed himself for those runts?" Said the mysterious man. "Sir, that is Carter Wilson. He is a human teen who was brought here by accident." Said Liev, looking at the man and then back at the screen. "Keep him from passing this trial; he could prove to be trouble in the future. Carter had phased into the blast. Everything had gone blank, and he wasn't in the dungeon anymore.
