CHAPTER ONE:
What the hell?

I slammed my front door as I stormed my way to my kitchen

"Of course to add to the shit sundae of my Girlfriend leaving me my boss decided now was the time to put a nice helping of fuck you cherries by FIRING me on this day of all the days he could have choose to fire me!" I yelled to the house as I looked for the bottle of Jack Daniels I had gotten for my 21st birthday.

"Well since my boss decided to give me the not so welcomed gift of no work tomorrow I guess I can finally open the bottle of Jacks my father gave me." I said as I shoved the bottle to my throat and took three big gulps Then the taste hit me like a train. I Immediately felt my face start to get warm. Then I proceeded to get shit face drunk. That night was chock full of more regrettable decisions and to finish it off I had blacked out on my couch with a bottle in hand.

When I woke up there were three feelings I had at that moment: A massive migraine, an intense feeling of needing to throw up, and the stickiness of last night's booze on my chest. I then bolted to the bathroom and proceeded to empty the contents of what I drank yesterday. after turning on the lights and washing my hands I walked past the frosted windows and to my bedroom. But on second thought of the frosted window I booked back to the window. What I saw was that there were no other houses and that it was mildly snowing.

"What the hell I live in suburban San Antonio?" I said as I proceeded to go to my bedroom to change into some clean cloths. I turned on the lights and looked through my closet. I settled on a Nirvanah t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I made my way back to living room when I realized that I am in the middle of a winter wonderland with no access to civilization, so how the hell was my water and power working. but my pondering on paradoxical questions was interrupted by a soft tapping at my front door and what sounded like a cough. I tiptoed towards the door and slowly creaked it open. I saw a kind of bug-horse creature take a step ,forward stagger a bit, and then fall sideways. I decided the only thing I could do was put a blanket on the poor thing and hope that it will wake up.

about 2 hours later.

I sat by the fire I had set up and checked my phone to find it, of course with no data.

"Well at least I have all of those downloaded movies and songs" I said as I looked on my phone to see what those songs I had bought. It was a good and hefty pile of songs but I decided to put on one of my favorites https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BhhYcSwHQ4&list=RDMME9eLz4DrwF8&index=27

I sat there as the music roared but soon I felt a tapping on my shoulder. The creature flinched as I turned to it. After a good minute of just staring at each other I did a circle movement with my hand in which it took the hint.

"Sorry I am just not used to such kindness from other creatures." it said while looking at me with distrustful eyes.

"Ok I am tired of thinking of you at an it so tell me what gender you are and what's your name."

"We...well I don't really have a gender but you can think of me as a she and my name is Crystia."

"Ah so Crystia what are you exactly."

"Well those ponies call us changelings but are what we call ourselves are Astrofs."

"Ok so where are we."

"20 miles north from the Wall."

"Oooookaayyy then well where did you come from."

"th...th..the slave mines just North-West o..of here." She then started to break down in front of me and started muttering about her family and how she abandoned them.

"Hey shh shh its ok you know what how about we go and save them and everybody else enslaved in that mine because well I just find the idea of slavery abhorrent" I said with a cheeky smile

"But how are you going to that you're just one creature and there are thousands of those damn dogs?" I started to sit up as she said that and walked towards my garage.

"Well there three things where I come from is known for"

" And what's that." she said as I started to turn on my garage lights.

"Guns, Booze, and fast cars" I said as my lights revealed full of equipment to show those dogs whose alpha around here. we stepped into my East German 1959 GAZ 69, l made sure it was full of fuel and turned around to talk to Crystia

"Okay Crystia I am going to go and deal with those dogs if I don't come back in 3 days then there is food in there to last for months but don't worry I will be back in no time." In which I closed the door started the engine and booked it toward where Crystia said the slave entrance was.

I stopped the car a good 20 feet from the entrance of the slave mines and behind a hill. As I got ready I locked the doors behind me and loaded my shotgun with 8 shells. I placed the other 82 in my backpack. Then I started to walk up and over the hill, and towards the two dogs guarding the entrance.

"Haha look at that runt walking towards us tell me Hus should we just kill it or try to make it work for us" it said to its partner

"Hmm this weakling doesn't have that much muscle so I say we kill it then eat it "

"HAHA yes that sounds like a wondrous idea Hus” the dog said as they booked towards me. little did they know that the stick I was carrying had enough firepower to make their heads look like mashed beats. I pulled the trigger which caused the first dog to drop dead almost instantly. Then the dog that was behind him fell onto the ground tripping right to my boot.
"Wha..what are you" the dog said with clear fear in his eyes

"I am your damnation" I said as I pulled the trigger. I left that dog for the snow to take him and went to the entrance. But as I walked through the corridor it was almost hauntedly quiet. I Then walked to the large chamber. What I saw shocked me. hundreds no thousands of creatures enslaved in this labyrinth. I shot the roof of the large cavern to get the attention of everything in the cave.

"Hello for all those who are enslaved this will be the day of freedom and justice." I yelled to all the enslaved and the slavers pausing for effect "and for all those who are the slavers if you resist you will be mowed down into a fine pulpy paste." I proclaimed to all of the beings in the Pitt. Then I felt a massive presence behind me.

"Okay kid I like your spunk, but you need to backup those words with action. How about we fight to the death down in the arena if you win you get a claim over all of this." He spun his 4 digit hands around as he spoke and at the end of the sentence he pointed back at himself. "But if I win then I get your little gadget there" while he said this he had a Cheshire grin that said he knew that he was going to win

"Okay I accept" I said as I shook his paw.

"HA I know I would like you. Now what's you're name kid"

"My names David"

"Okay David now know there are only two rules in this ring. The first rule is that you can have any weapon you like including that thing"

"Shotgun it's called a Shotgun"

"Yeah and for rule two you have to know is that its not over till one of us die"

"So when will this death battle be happening"

"Today at the sound of the second to last bell and until then I shall show you to the room you will be resting in." he said and then turned to one of his slave, a creature that looked like a griffin from mythology and a female one at that. I followed the "griffin" to another section of the caves. When we got to the room I saw that it was actually pretty nice but knew that it was most likely built on the backs of these slaves. When she left I locked the door behind him then sat on my bed with shotgun by my side and tried to get some rest before the big fight. I was awoken from my short rest by the sound of hooves on steel. I checked to see if I still had everything on me. When I found that there was nothing was out of order I promptly got up and walked to the steel door that made up the entrance. When I opened the door and looked back and forth. I saw a frail looking Astrof standing there. What looked like a he beckoned me forward and towards a gate. After following him for about 3 minutes we ended up at a gate with two dogs guarding it in which again nodded his head towards one of the dogs and the gate slowly started to lift.

"So where is this arena your leader talked about '' I said to the Astrof, in which he just pointed to a room. I figured that he wanted me to enter the room. So I obeyed and entered the transition room when I felt a sudden gush of wind as the gate slammed behind me. I then saw rows upon rows of everything and anything battle related.

"Eh I don't need any of that thanks to my shotgun" I said to myself as I walked to the second gate. As the gate slowly start to lift I soon heard what seemed to be an announcer

"hello everybody and welcome to the gauntlet. today we have two opponents in what is sure to be a grand battle. In one corner we have a strange looking creature going by the name of David." As soon as he said that the gate finally opened all the way and I waltzed into the arena with my arms raised above my head. In return for my theatrics got nothing except for maybe a cough here and there. I then noticed that the arena I had walked into was actually pretty clean, but had a giant grate in the center for what I guessed was to dispose of the losers.

"And to this side we have our supreme alpha" when he said that two things happened. The first was that the crowd cheered in a way that seemed a little forced, the next thing to happen was the alpha marched on out. I Noticed that just like me went out with nothing but a Scottish kilt on, but unlike me he had a giant war axe that had dried blood on it.

"And now it's time for what all of you have been waiting for, Its time for our glorious Alpha to destroy the whelp that dares challenge his holiness." Before the announcer could finish that last word that last word the alpha immediately started booking it towards me. I then fired my shotgun which had the impromptu effect of doing jack shit. That's when I started panicking. Firing shot after shot into the juggernaut that was heading straight towards me. After I fired about five shots into the thing before he finally caught up to me and swiped at me in a large arc. All I felt was pain in my stomach and a feeling of weightlessness. But my very short trip was ended with a very loud and very audible CRACK that echoed around the dome. From how I felt I knew that my ribs had not just been broken but annihilated. Although despite how my body wished it was, it was not over as the behemoth threw his great war axe. It flew in my direction until finally making contact. There was another audible cracking sound as my right shoulder broke in two. He then grabbed me by my neck. I felt extreme pain as my head was forcefully taken off my body. I saw him wave my head around as there was another round of forced cheers. As I realized I couldn't feel anything below my neck the darkness started taking hold.

-----------Alphas point of view------------

The strange creature's head was firmly in my grasp as I waved his face around the crowd I got another round of deafening cheers from the audience. I then picked up his shotgun and started walking towards my trophy room. I then placed the weapon that had spit fire across my frame in a display case, Then I crushed the half rotting skull that was previously on the pedestal and placed the things head down.

-------Davids point of view---------

When I woke up my hand rushed to my head as I checked that, yes my head was still attached to my body. But then I remembered how I had died in which my body filled with rage and power, and my chance at vengeance would be able to be fulfilled as I saw the "griffin" from earlier walk down the hall

"Where's your alpha!" I said in a chilling voice that would make the devil himself shake.

"J..j..just down the hall and t...t.then make a left turn." He said with a frightened tone. So I followed his instructions and ran faster then I have ever in my life. I then kicked the doors to his throne room off their hinges. That's when the tyrant dog turned his eyes towards me, as a look of shock and fear covered his face. I then proceeded to storm towards him and jump on him. I planted my bare foot on his chest and grabbed both his arms and begin to pull as I yelled.

"HERE'S DAAVVVVYYYYY" as I tore both his arms off and then crushed his head with his own biceps.

Then one of his guards looked towards me with the same face his master had just died with and asked me. "W..w..what are you."

"I'm the king baby" I said as I proceeded to black out
