Chapter Forty Seven- Hell pt. 1 (Season Beginning)
Hell pt. 1 (Season Beginning)
I looked at Dr. Kozama as he kept his wicked grin before it disappeared and he leaned back in his chair. I watched a blue color appear before the light of the overhead lamp grew, allowing me to see all of him. I saw he was wearing a light green polo shirt and a white lab coat. He smiled as his horn light came to an end.
"I'm glad I finally get to meet you in the flesh, Mr. Young. I'm happy my associate didn't rough you up too badly." Said Dr. Kozama
"Associate?" I asked
"Scissor Arm, you remember him, don't you." My eyes widened as I realized it was Kozama that sent Scissor Arm after me and probably killed Fang. I growled as I tried to break my binds to reach him. But nothing, I could only growl and bare my teeth, which only caused Kozama to laugh. "I see you remember."
"I'm going to take a guess here and say your a follower of Pandora," I said
"Jackpot, Mr. Young. But not any average follower, no, I'm an elite of Pandora." Said Kozama
"I see now mind telling me what I'm doing here?" I asked
"Easy Mr. Young, because you're an obstacle in the way of my master's return." Said Kozama
"So let me guess your plan. You kidnapped me to try to reason with me about how I should turn to the dark side," I said
"No Mr. Young that's far from the truth. You see I have something else planned for you. Something that will ensure your fall from grace." He scooted out his chair and began to walk over to me with his hands behind his back. I could now see the brown khaki pants he was wearing. "I've been watching you, Mr. Young, oh yes I have. I know everything about you. I know where you sleep, where you work, your brother, that adoptive daughter you have, and the girls you call lovers. Oh, I know you as I know myself. But then again that's what I do. I learn how people think, how they interact and how they cope." He stopped to the left of me and turned back to me. "I watched as Equestria praised you as its hero. How you would stand up and protect the innocent and those you call friends. How you go too far lengths to protect ponies even if it costs you your life. A hero you are, and you see that's what I'm going to use against you."
"Come again," I stated
"A hero is a person who fights the injustices of the world and stands up for the innocent. But what if you could break a hero, to the point that they don't feel like a hero. That when they grab their sword or try to stand up for justice, they just can't do it. That's what I'm going to do to you. I'm going to break you like a twig, and once I'm done breaking you, you won't be able to pick a sword without remembering my smiling face." He said
"Fuck you!" I exclaimed
"Oh, I'm glad we're starting off on such a high note." Said Kozama
"If you think you can keep me here, your crazy. I'll break out one way or another, and when I do, I'm going to gut you like a fish," I said
"Oh what harsh language, but not expected from you. Sadly I must burst your bubble. As you probably already figured out, you lost connection to your precious little dragons, and you probably can't feel your powers." I blinked my eyes at him. "If you look down, you'll see you don't have your belt with the crystal shard of Meteor or Icicle, but no worries, I'm keeping them safe." I did as he said and saw it was gone. "Next, I placed a spell on the land around us that nullifies your powers. So pretty much Mr. Young, you right now are an average human."
"Please, Princess Celestia and my friends will find me," I retorted
I heard him hum as she walked over to the right of me. I followed me as he walked past me before turning back to me, "That might be true if they had any idea where you were. The portal Scissor Arm brought you through doesn't leave a trace for unicorns to follow. So as we speak, you just poofed off into thin air." I watched him as he looked at me. "Nopony is going to find you, Mr. Young, which means you're all mine." He laughed as I growled still trying to get at him.
"You'll see, my harem will find me," I retorted once again.
"Trust me, Mr. Young, you shouldn't put faith into ponies, I should know. But enough of this, it's time to take your first steps into the depths of Hell." Said Kozama
I watched as his magic came to life and pulled my glasses off my head. I watched in the blur as he crushed them right in front of me. Damn it, now am I going to see. He looked at me before grabbing my head and forcing open my eyes. I squirmed to try to break free from his grip.
"Hold still now." Said Kozama
I watched as his horn once again came to life. His horn sparked before bolts of lightning shot right into my eyes. I began to scream bloody murder as pain flared through my eyeballs. My eyeballs felt like they were on fire. Soon it ended, and he let go of my head. The pain was still present. I huffed and puffed as I felt sweat roll down my face. I kept my eyes closed as not to subject them to the light. I had no idea what he did to me. I heard him walk on over and sit back down in his chair.
I slowly opened my eyes to see my vision was still blurry. I closed them and opened them, and to my surprise, nothing was blurry. I could see perfect 20/20.
"What did you do?" I asked
"Simple, I fixed your vision for you." He said
"Why?" I asked
He gave a dark laugh, "I can't have your vision spoiling all my plans and fun."
I watched as he bent down and pulled up a bag. It looked stuff to the brim as he began to unzip it. I saw inside was stuffed with folders and writing tablets. Kozama pulled out a large file from the bag before setting it back down on the floor. The folder had the words, "Project Young' on the front of it. I also noticed the folders was bulging with papers.
"Now I think it's time we get down to business." He opened the folder and pulled out a large stack of papers with the title page being, 'Experiment One.' He placed the folder away from him and unclipped the set of documents. "Now do you recognize this pony."
He flipped the stack of stapled papers over to me. I saw the first page had a smiling Twilight. I noticed the picture was before Calvin raped her as she didn't have the dark ring on her horn. I didn't say a thing as I looked at him. He smiled before taking the stack back. He lifted the page and began to scan the contents.
"Silence is an answer, Mr. Young, but not like you had to answer anyway, I already knew the answer. Twilight Sparkle daughter of Twilight Velvet and Night Light. She has an older brother by the name of Shining Armor who is married to Princess Cadance, making her a sister-in-law. Moon Star is her adoptive daughter with you being the father. Her assistant is Barbara the dragon." Said Kozama
"How do you know all that?" I asked
"As I said, it's my job to know." He said
I watched as he continued to scan the stack of papers before closing it and then pulled out another set of documents. He set the pile in front of me, "now do you recognize him."
I looked down at say a picture of a creature I never wanted to see again. A creature that tore every ounce happiness out of my Twilight and scared her horn.
"Calvin," I uttered under my breath.
"Correct, Mr. Young." Dr. Kozama took the stack of papers back into his hands and began to flip through it. "Calvin the Wolf, a defense attorney in Wolcar. Graduated top of his class in law school. Dated Twilight Sparkle and took her virginity." I saw Kozama give a wicked smile as he flipped a page. "He was also responsible for raping Twilight Sparkle; you do remember that, don't you."
"How could I forget," I said with venom in my words.
"Yes, how could you forget when a vile creature rapes one of your loves. But haven't you ever wondered why." I raised my eyebrow at him. "I mean, haven't you wondered how Calvin got his hands on the power he had." I just kept looking at me as he smiled at me. "I know you want to know."
"I'll say yes to that doctor," I said
"You're looking at the answer, Mr. Young." Said Kozama
It felt like my world just stopped as his words resonated in my mind. I felt my rage coming up as I growled and began to fight with all my might to try to break the leather straps. I wanted to grip Kozama's neck and choke the life out of him.
"You fucking BASTARD!" I screamed
I growled and tried to break free. I felt the leather straps scraping my arms as I tried to break free. I bucked and pulled like a trapped wild animal.
"You BASTARD, you FUCKING BASTARD!!" I screamed
I saw Kozama's smile disappear as a scowl appeared on his face. He bent down before scooted out his chair and walked over to me. He looked at him before he stabbed a knife into my left hand. I screamed as he moved the blade inside my hand.
"Peace Mr. Young, we need peace!" Exclaimed Kozama
I huffed as the pain still shot through my body.
"Please Mr. Young, no yelling. We use our inside voices in here; you know how to use your inside voice." He looked down at him, and I nodded my head. He smiled before releasing the grip on the knife, "Good."
He walked back over to his seat and brushed his mane out of his face, and he scooted forward as he placed his hands together. He looked at me as I huffed and puffed to deal with the pain in my hand. It was all quiet except for my breathing. He raised his eyebrow and gestured his right hand, which told me to speak.
"You gave Calvin that dark power, the power that he used to scar Twilight's horn and allowed him to rape her. The same power that let him destroy Canterlot and nearly kill me. But I don't understand why?" I said
"I was getting to that Mr. Young. But I had to deal with your screaming. I don't like screaming, Mr. Young, I like things to be calm. Now before you rudely interrupted me, I was about to tell you about my findings. My first experiment, you can call it a trail." Said Kozama
"A trail," I said
"Yes, a trail to see if you worth my time. Sure my master was asking me to kill you, and I could. Oh, I could, without even breaking a sweat. It would be like snapping a twig, or hell, you saw that Scissor Arm could do it without a problem. But what's the fun in killing your meal when you can play with it before you kill it. The joy of watching it fear you as you show it death, but never kill it." Said Kozama
"You're insane; you know that," I said
"Oh I know, Mr. Young, I know. But as I was saying, I wanted to see what made you, you. It wasn't hard to trick Calvin into drinking my little creation. His mind completely hazed with anger about not winning is trophy bitch, he was like a fly to the spider's web. I watched as he raped your worthless little unicorn. You should have seen her crying and screaming for help, but never able as Calvin stuffed his cock into her mouth. I'll say, she can take cock quite well." Said Kozama
I felt my anger boiling over as he told me about Calvin raping Twilight. The one time in my life where I failed. The one time where I couldn't protect one of my lovers.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!" I screamed
But that ended when I felt Kozama's magic grip and twist the knife in my hand. I screamed as the blade dug and tore my muscles and nerves.
"What did I say, Mr. Young?! Peace, Mr. Young, we need peace!" Exclaimed Kozama
Soon the knife stopped moving causing the pain to die down. I huffed and puffed as sweat started to roll down my face as I looked at Kozama.
"I hope you know what will happen every time you speak out of tone." Said Kozama
I looked at him, which caused him to smile. Why is he smiling? Does he like seeing me in pain? I pulled myself to look at him before he cleared his throat and began to speak again.
"Now where was I, yes, I was telling you about all that Calvin was doing to your precious beta of your harem. But since that seems to be too much for you, I guess we can skip past it." He scanned the papers in front of him. "Well, after you found your lovely semen covered mare, you proceeded to fight Calvin across Canterlot with one Night Light and Shining Armor. But Calvin dealt with them without a problem, which left you." He flipped another few pages. "You fought Calvin all the way to the magical dome protecting the ponies of Canterlot from him, that Sunslut and Moonslut put up. You nearly lost to Calvin until you were able to use the Ancient Power, Eruption. You won, but the fight was far from over. You stopped your harem beta, Twilight, from killing Calvin. That surprised me most of all. How you stopped Twilight from killing him, even though he deserved it." He pulled a picture and looked at it. He seemed to enjoy the image as he smiled at it. "Now for my last question about this topic is have you ever wondered who killed Calvin?"
"Let me guess; you're going to tell me," I stated
"Even better." He set the picture in front of me. I looked at the picture of Calvin's dead body painting the area red and his guts hanging on the roofs of buildings and most of disturbing part was his head resting in the middle of the scene. "You like it."
"Like it, how can any sane pony say that like it?" I stated
"True, but it's pleasant to my eyes, especially when I'm the one who killed him." He said
"Why?" I asked
"After each experiment, you have to make sure all the loose ends are tied up. Well, Calvin was a loose end I had to deal with, and well I dealt with him. It was easy, considering the potion I gave him allowed me to kill him with a simple snap of my fingers." Said Kozama
"You're sick!" I exclaimed
"Yes, sick with passion. Now let's talk about experiment number two." He put all the papers he was looking over and put it into the file before grabbing a second stack of documents with the cover page reading, 'Experiment 2'. He set the stack down and unclipped it as he searched for what paper to show me. He pulled out a set of documents and set them down with yet another picture. I recognized it as a Freeza that resided in the mountains that bordered the Crystal Empire. "You remember this case, don't you."
"Of course," I said
"Excellent, it wouldn't be fun if you didn't remember, and I hate not having fun." He pulled the stack over to him and began to scan it. "Let's see the experiment begins with a little fun on my part. You see after seeing your strength and battle technics while facing Calvin; I next wanted to test the extent of how far you'll go to protect the innocent and those you call friends and lovers. It was quite simple. I created a potent poison that would corrupt the Freeza king. The king would use his powers to begin a new ice age over the Crystal Empire. It was all going according to plan when I saw the princess of sluts go off to find you. What my surprise when you brought your friends with you. It made my experiment that much more enjoyable." Said Kozama
I wanted to scream again but looked at the knife embedded in my left hand. I didn't feel like going through the pain once more. You fucking bastard!!! I felt my anger was reaching new highs as I sat here listening to Dr. Kozama telling me about Calvin raping Twilight and the near genocide of the Crystal Empire was all his doing.
"So your plan was to genocide the whole Crystal Empire just to see how I stand up for others?" I asked
"Bingo, and what an experiment it was. I watched you leave the Crystal Empire, and travel the Crystal Mountains to save the Crystal Empire. I watched you survive the Freeza attack and survive your fall. But I also watched as the ones you wished to protect began to pray and accept death. How they talked about meeting loved ones in the Golden Pastors and about meeting the great Faust." Kozama paused he seemed to be thinking about something. "Do you wonder why I joined Pandora?"
"What, how does that have to do with your experiment?" I asked
Kozama sat back in his chair as a smiled at me, "I saw how you were reacting to my story. I'm proud you decided to use your inside voice and not just straight scream and yell. So I decided to lighten the mood. But haven't you ever thought about that. Why do people and ponies decide to follow Pandora."
"If I had to guess from what I know about Stray Wolf and Slugger, to get revenge or something," I said
"Close to a point, Mr. Young. In truth, it's what Pandora will grant us. For Stray Wolf and Slugger, it was revenge. But not every follower seeks revenge, take me for instance. I don't seek revenge; I seek something else. Something I sought back when I was living under the guidance of Sunslut." He got up and turned his back to me. "Tell Mr. Young, do you believe there is a higher power, a place after death, a god?"
"Yes," I stated
"Haven't you ever wondered why ponies praise a being that only ever appears in written text and nopony has ever seen in life." Said Kozama
"I believe you have to have faith that Faust is real," I stated
Kozama began to laugh as he turned back to me, "Faith, faith is a word used when ponies try to push the truth away. A way ponies try to suppress the hopelessness of an event." He laughed again, but much darker.
"So what does this have to do with anything you seek from Pandora?" I asked
Kozama stopped laughing and walked over to the table and slammed his hands on the table and looked at me with eyes full crazy, "Everything Mr. Young. You see my wish to Pandora is not revenge on the pony that damned me, no its to become more than a pony. I wish to become a god among ponies." He laughed, "Yes a god among ponies. For when the day comes, and Pandora rises from his tomb and brings the fires of Hell with him, and when bodies upon bodies of ponies litter Equestria's lands. And when the ponies have lost all their faith in the great Faust, I'll step towards them. I shall save them from the wrath of Pandora. That's when Faust will die, and I shall rise as the one true god of Equestria. But I don't just one Equestria, no, I want Eques to praise me as a god, as their god." He laughed as he took a seat. "Now you know, Mr. Young, my purpose for following Pandora. Who knows, maybe you'll even begin to praise me as your god and beg me to end your suffering when the time comes of course."
"At first I swore you were just insane, crazy and sick. But now I see you're in a completely different ballpark. I can't even say what you are," I said
"Oh, Mr. Young, we haven't even scraped the truth of what ticks inside my mind. But let's return to our talk about my experiments." He scanned the documents in front of him. "You found Icicle, the Crystal Shard Dragon of Ice and used her powers to destroy my corruption beast and saved the Crystal Empire. I think that sums up that story. But what about the findings and the discoveries, you might be asking yourself. Well, those Mr. Young, were impressive. I've seen many heroes in my time, but you take the cake. To travel the freezing lands of the Crystal Mountains just to save a bunch of worthless ponies you didn't even know."
"Just because I didn't know them doesn't give me a right to let them die. I defend all in need of help," I retorted back at Kozama.
"As a true hero would say." Kozama tucked that set of documents away and pulled out a small stack of papers. He held them to his face and scanned the pages. "Do you remember the time you came down with Crystal Fever?"
"Yes, and let me guess, you gave it to me," I said
He set the stack of papers down and smiled at me, "Not this time, you got Crystal Fever when you were lying unconscious in the freezing snow of the Crystal Mountains. But I was the one who saved you."
I blinked my eyes at him like he was crazy, "That's impossible, my girls told me that the hospital found a cure just in time."
"Oh, that's because they didn't want you to know about their shady deal with Stray Wolf. You see for my last experiment; I needed to test your blood. That was all I needed to test before I had everything I needed for your visit. It was a simple plan; Stray Wolf would approach your crying harem and present them a simple deal, a pint of your blood for the cure. To my amazement when the shy Fluttershy, happened to show off her demon powers. You should have seen her threating to kill Stray Wolf where stood and didn't seem to blink an eye at it." He paused as he chuckled and seemed to be murmuring under his breath about something. "Well, Fluttershy took my bargain and well here you are. I'll have to thank her sometime because of all this couldn't happen without her." He laughed as he looked back over the stack of papers. "I used your blood to understand your powers fully. After I knew that, I had everything to begin my plan."
"And if I remember correctly, your plan, Dr. Kozama, is to break me," I said
"Yes, I'm glad you remembered my rambling from earlier." He reached down and once again pulled up his bag. He put the folder inside and next pulled out a medium-sized black box. I watched as he set it down and opened to reveal a syringe and a vial of black liquid. He picked up both and inserted the needle of the syringe into the vial and began to extract all the black liquid. He flicked the needle and looked at me with sadistic eyes. "Now you take your first steps in my Hell."
He got up and walked over to me. I struggled to break free as I didn't want to know what he had in that syringe. He laughed at my attempts. I watched his horn begin to glow blue before it surrounded me, causing to me stop. He stepped forward and unbuckled my left arm. He removed the knife and placed it on the table. He flipped my arm over and pointed the needle down and in a quick motion, pushed the needle into one of my veins and began to push the plunger of the syringe. I felt the liquid beginning to enter my system. The feeling of dread covered me as the liquid kept entering my body.
Then his magic grip ended, and I felt Kozama releasing me. I looked at Kozama as he smiled. I was now free to go after him. I got up, and I was about to lunge for him when I felt everything start to spin. I watched as Kozama begin to become three. I gripped my head as the world around me spun faster and faster. It felt like the worst case of vertigo ever. I clutched my head with both of my hands to stop the pain. But every time I opened my eyes, I saw more and more copies of Kozama. All of them smiling sadistically at me. I dropped to the floor and began to spit up. I felt my body slowly starting to shut down. I looked up at the Kozamas as they smiled at me. I then heard them all speak.
"I once again welcome you to Hell, Mr. Young. I know you'll enjoy your stay here."
I reached out to him, but I couldn't figure out which Kozama was real. I heard him laugh as I hit the ground. His laugh was the last thing I heard as my world faded into black.
***
I slowly began to open eyes to the world around me. I looked to see I was staring at a stone ceiling. Areas of moss were slowing creeping over the rock. I felt the cold stone floor under me and looked to my right to see a set of steel bars blocking me from the hallway outside. How the hell, did I wind up here? I slowly pushed myself up from the ground. My head was still spinning, but not as bad as before. I looked around for Kozama but didn't see him. Damn, where did that crazy doctor go? I happened to look down to see my left hand completely healed, if not a scar from where the knife went into my hand. How did that happen?
"I did that."
I heard a soft female voice speak out to me. It sounded like the way Fluttershy talks. I turned to see a mare crotching in the corner looking at me. I looked over the mare. She had an olive coat, like Apple Bloom. Her mane was a peach color with a silver strip running down the side of her mane. She also had a BB-cup chest on her. But the noticeable features where her red demonic eyes that had cat slits for her pupils and a set of six large black raven wings on her back, three on each side. She also had two fangs sticking out her mouth and demonic symbols running up her arms and across her face, much like Fluttershy had when she showed me her demon side.
"I see you're finally up. I'm glad I was worried you would never wake." Said the mystery mare
"What?" I asked
"You've been out for nearly three days. I guess whatever Kozama gave you didn't exactly take well to your body." Said the mare
"Three days, wait, who are you?" I asked
"You can call me Sin. I used to have a pony name, but I lost that long ago."
I did see all she had one was a tattered blue shirt that looked like it had seen better days and a pair of shorts. I didn't see either of them having her cutie mark printed on it. I happened to look down at my left hand again and remembered her statement about fixing it.
"You patched my hand left?" I asked
"Yes, it wasn't hard, I just used the limited amount of blood magic I have to heal and seal the wound." Said Sin
"Wait, you can use blood magic?" I asked
"Yes, it comes naturally for a pony who's cursed to carry a blood demon inside of her." Said Sin
I looked around to see she and I were the only ones in the cell. I looked back outside to see the other cells empty. I think Sin saw me looking as she spoke up.
"There's nopony else." I turned back to her. "It's just you me, Kozama, his pets and that walking giant tin can."
She must be referring to Scissor Arm when she said walking giant tin can. But what did she mean by Kozama's pets?
I can't see Kozama being a dog or cat person. That's when I heard the sound of hooves walking on the stone floor. I looked down and saw Dr. Kozama coming towards Sin and me. He stopped at the cell and smiled as he looked at us both.
"I'm glad to see you're alive, Mr. Young." He looked over to Sin as she looked at him. "I'm glad to see you as well, Sin, my dear."
I watched as Sin just pulled her legs closer to her chest. I then looked at the doctor as I heard the sound of heavy metal and saw Scissor Arm now standing next to Kozama. I growled as I got up and tried my hardest to get to Scissor Arm.
"You bastard, I'll make you pay for what you did to Blood Fang!" I exclaimed
Scissor Arm chuckled at my attempts as did Kozama. I watched Kozama's horn come to life as I felt my body suddenly stop. Damn it! I watched as Scissor Arm open the cell and took a grip around my neck and pulling me to him. I looked at his eyeless, eye holes. He didn't say a word as I struggled to breathe.
"Not too tight, Scissor Arm, I still need him." Said Kozama
"You're lucky I didn't kill your little pony friend that day." Said Scissor Arm
I growled as Kozama locked the door and proceeded to walk with Scissor Arm carrying me away by my neck. It didn't take long to see fresh sunlight, and we were now outside. I looked to see that Scissor Arm brought me to an arena that resembled the Roman Coliseum on Earth. I then felt Scissor Arm toss me to the ground below. I hit it hard with a thud, but luckily sand covered the ground. I slowly pushed myself up and looked at Kozama and Scissor Arm as they stood next to a place where a person of power would sit to watch the match.
I looked at them until I saw Scissor Arm tossed down an item. I watched it clang against the ground and looked to see it was a steel sword. I picked it up and looked back at Kozama.
"Now what, doctor?" I asked
"Now the real fun begins." He walked over a to stone seat and sat down as Scissor Arm stood next to him. "Don't disappoint me, Mr. Young."
I watch Kozama snap his fingers and soon the cage door opened in front of me. I blinked as I swallowed the lump in my throat. I heard the shuffle of hooves on the ground and out came a stallion. I raised my eyebrow at how he got here. I saw he had a brown coat and black mane. He had lifeless blue eyes. The only clothing was a pair of black pants. Carved into his chest was the picture of a cash register. I wonder if that's his cutie mark, but why is it carved into his chest. The gate closed behind him after the stallion entered the arena.
"Now what, doctor?" You expect me to attack this pony," I said
"Even better, you want to kill him. I want you to spill his blood." Said Kozama
"You think I would kill a pony, then your crazy," I said
"Help me." I looked at the stallion and blinked my eyes. "Please help me."
I was going to respond, but the stallion was suddenly screaming bloody murder. The stallion was shaking out of control as I watched foam come out of his mouth. Blood started to roll out of his eyes as they went into the back of his head. I slowly backed up from the stallion. I gripped my sword as I watched his arms burst apart to reveal two large pincers. His chest broke open to see two large scythes. Last was his head split open to show teeth. What the FUCK!!!
I heard Kozama laugh at the transformation of the stallion.
"Do you like it, Mr. Young? Do you like one of my little pets?" Asked Kozama
Pet is this what Sin meant by Kozama's pets. I looked at the mutant stallion. It made me feel sick to my stomach to think what Kozama did to this poor stallion. Is this what Kozama has planned for me? I could feel fear starting to fill my mind about me becoming a mutant pet to Kozama. I finally found my voice as I looked at the still laughing Kozama.
"What did you do to him?" I asked
"Let's just say it was science, the science of making Chimeras. Now let's see some bloodshed." Said Kozama
He snapped his fingers again, and within a second, a scythe came right down at me. I was able to move out of the way before the second scythe came down at me. I rolled out of the way. I then quickly jumped away as a pincer came at me. Damn, this guy or thing is fast.
"Please, help me."
I heard the stallion talk to me again. The stallion is still inside that thing. I moved again as the stallion tried to attack me with another scythe went at me.
"Listen to me, I can help you," I said
"Help me." Said the stallion
I had to dodge again as the stallion tried to grab me with one of his pincers. I once again was on my toes as the stallion tried to attack me. I only used my sword to block a scythe attack. I didn't want to hurt the stallion if there was a way to help him.
"Stop, we don't have to fight." The stallion didn't respond as I jumped away. "Please, we can work together to escape."
I wasn't paying attention to see a scythe coming down and striking my shoulder. I felt it cut right into my left shoulder. I screamed as I saw the second one coming down and striking my right shoulder. Damn it! I watched as the stallion got ready to strike me with one of its pincers. I knew if I was going to make it out alive, I had to break free. I took the sword and sliced the scythes away. I heard the stallion scream as I moved away from him. I huffed as I felt the blood leak from my wounds. I didn't dare remove the scythe blades out of fear of bleeding out.
"Please, stop, I can help you!" I exclaimed
"Please help me." Said the stallion
I wanted to respond, but I watched as the stallion came running at me. I quickly dodged him, but I didn't expect the stallion to stop, spin and strike me hard in the gut. I fell hard on the ground and felt my sword leave my right hand. I huffed as I felt my world spinning from the collision with my head and the ground.
I desperately tried to get myself back together. I was able to slightly see when I saw the stallion trying to crush my head with his pincer. I rolled out of the way as the pincer came down. I saw my sword and got up and ran for it. I jumped to grab my sword, but the stallion gripped my left leg in his pincer. I felt it chop down and the teeth biting into my leg. I screamed as I felt him draw blood.
The stallion dragged me towards him as I tried ever so desperately to get to my sword. I knew if he drew me in close enough that would be the end of me. No, I can't die. I felt myself growing closer and closer to my death. I pulled with my all might to get the sword. I felt my fingers touch the handle. I took a grip the sword as the stallion pulled me towards him. I quickly turned and shoved the sword into the stallion.
I felt the stallion let go of my leg. I moved away as the stallion fell to the ground dead. I huffed and puffed as the stallion finally died as blood pooled around him. I felt my whole body shake as I had done the one thing I promised never to do. The one thing I stopped Twilight from doing. I had taken a life.
I heard clapping and looked up to Kozama as he looked at me. A wicked smile was covering his face.
"Well done, Mr. Young. Well done." Said Kozama
I watched Scissor Arm drop down to the ground and walked over to me. I just watched as Scissor Arm walked over to me. He stopped in front of me, clenched his fist and slammed into my face. I hit the dirt as everything went dark.

I woke once again seeing I was back in the cell. I looked at myself to see my wounds once again healed with new scars covering the areas. I then noticed Sin tearing off a piece of bread in her teeth. She looked up at me as she grabbed a metal plate with some food on it and walked over to me. She put it down in front of me.
"Eat, you'll need the energy." Said Sin
I looked at the food, but I didn't want to eat. My mind still on the image of the dying stallion. Sure I killed him because if I didn't, he would have killed me. But it still didn't feel right as I could have found a way to help him.
"Eat, Xavier." Said Sin
"I don't deserve it," I stated
"I'm not sure what you did in the arena, but now this. It's a kill or be killed game here. If you don't eat, you'll die, and I'm sure you don't wish to die if you survived the arena." Said Sin
"I guess," I stated
I looked at the food as I heard Sin walking away. I didn't look at her as she left me. I knew that I needed the strength for whatever Kozama has planned for me. I have to survive for my family and my harem. I know they're looking for me, I just know it. I picked up the food and began to eat it. After eating and Sin patted the place next to her. I went over and sat next to her. She placed her raven wings around me like a blanket. I closed my eyes with only one thing on my mind; I had just taken my first steps into Hell.
