Days in Hell (part 1)

10 years ago....

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Spike couldn't see anything but darkness. He felt a pair of claws digging into his sides. Next thing he knew there was a loud thud. He looked around the darkness of his surroundings cracked with a crimson light. The skeletal arms that held him dropped him to the ground Spike quickly scrambled to his feet. He frantically scanned his unfamiliar surroundings. There was endless blackness for miles except for the sky wich was red with smoke black clouds. His eyes landed back on the creature wich was just staring at him. It slowly started approaching him. Spike backed away with fear.

"Wh-wh-what are you. What do you want from me!?" Spike asked sweat pouring down his face. The skeleton didn't answer it kept on walking near the terrified boy. Spike tripped over something and fell on his back. The creature stood over him, but instead of a repeat of last time it crouched down and stared into Spike's emerald eyes. The sound of footsteps approached from behind.

"Well what did you bring me this time Jare." A deep male voice said out of Spike's view. The skeleton started doing a mixture of non coherent mumbling,growls and roars. "Oh. I see well I have to take a look for myself." Suddenly a gloved hand grabbed the small boy by the neck from behind.

Spike was turned around to face the owner of the voice and hand. It was a tall man in a white suit. He had sleak black hair with pale white skin that seemed to blend with his suit. His eyes were an icy blue. But the most horrifying thing about him was the fact that he had no mouth no nose his face was featureless. But his eyes said everything .
He was curious. Spike was trembling in fear. The man stared deep into Spike's eyes.

"There definitely is something there." It said.

"Who are you guys what do you want from me!?" Spike asked fear clear in his voice.

"That's rude haven't anyone taught you manners. You don't speak unless spoken to." The man stated wagging a finger at him.

"Shut up!! Take me home right now!" Spike demanded fear still shown on his face.

"Such disrespect maybe a quick lesson will teach you not to speak out of tern." He said tightening his grip around Spike's neck. He started slammming Spike to the ground repeatedly. Blood filled Spike's mouth as the rocky ground cut up his body. After what felt like forever the man stopped by this point Spike hung limp in the man's grip. "That should do it well seeing as you have calmed down I'll answer your questions. I am called Lex. That over there is my pet of sorts Jare I made him out of decaying bones. And what I want from you is to see if you have any potential at all." Lex said with a semi bored expression in his eyes. But suddenly his eyes went cold. "Now listen you belong to me now. I will do what I please with you until I decide to sell you. You don't speak unless allow you to do so. If you disobey me there wull dire consequences." He stated.

Spike didn't react he couldn't feel anything tears started rolling down his cheeks. He wanted to scream for help but he feared what this man would do to him so he kept his mouth shut and closed his eyes hoping this was all just a nightmare that his aunt would end any second. Unfortunately this was a nightmare he wouldn't be waking from for a long time. Lex seeing Spike close his eyes and silently cry took that to mean he understood. The man's hand glowed suddenly a collar connected to a chain appeared around Spike's neck he dropped the boy to the ground and started dragging the decrepit boy behind him Jare followed close behind.

During the journey to seemingly nowhere Spike passed out from the pain. He woke up when a bolt of pain shot through his body. His eyes snapped open the sky was now blue and be was being dragged through a desert the skeleton still followed close behind. The man turned his head to look at Spike.

"You're finally awake good. I have a few questions for you." Lex said a tone that made his curiousity obvious. "First what is your name?" He asked.

"S-Sp-Spike D-Dr-Drake." Spike answered his voice shaky with fear.

"Such a interesting name. Next question how old are you?" Lex asked.

"I'm 8." The boy said timidly.

"So young with so much potential. Last question. Do you wish to die?" That made Spike go pale.

"No." He answered.

"Interesting." Lex went silent. "Well we're here."

Spike strained his neck to look behind him. There was a huge coliseum made out of sand. Lex yanked the chain up and grabbed Spike by the collar around his neck. He turned Spike to face the coliseum.

"Here you will fight to live. Millions will observe your strength and see if you're useful for anything. Jare take our new champion to the waiting until the patrons arrive." Lex ordered handing the boy to the skeleton. Jare started running towards leaving Lex to his thoughts. "What power I wonder what he will become." The man thought.

Over a thousand miles away in icy mountains a village reside. On the edge a mansion sat in one of the rooms a man sat in a lotus position surrounded by candles. He wore a black sleeveless karate gi wit black gauntlets on his arms. He wore black pants and black boots. His hair was jet black and combed back and his eyes were an amber colored. He was sitting in deep thought when he heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" He said.

The door opened revealing a women with long silver hair and one sapphire eye the other covered by an eye patch. She wore the almost the same as the except for a few parts being white. She walked over to the. The man with a frown.

"Big brother Leo the others are waiting we must not be late for Lex's new champion fight." She stated.

"Our spies have informed me that this champion is nothing but a mere child. Such cruelty. But fine I'll be there in a bit." Leo said.

"Good. But you better hurry before father comes here." She said walking out of the room. Leo sighed with a swing of his hand all the candles went out. He stood up and started towards the door but before he he grabbed a sword that was hanging on the wall and slid onto his back then walked out the room.
