A Few demons walked up to Captain Crimson, asking for the opportunity to buy and eat Lenny and Allison, claiming that the meat from the Arena tasted weird these days, but Captain Crimson refused.
Of Course, each refusal was met with an angry stare and possibly a new enemy created.
The plan was not working as they had intended. Lenny instantly decided to change plans. Although he was not sure how they would be accepted, but it was absolutely better than nothing.
The plan was very simple. Captain Crimson would use this opportunity to create certain connections.
Yes, he was going to be handing them over as a gift.
And in this manner, they made their way to the Arena. According to Captain crimson, this particular town used to have two Arenas which meant two Arena masters. Many claimed that the second one used to be run by Cuban. They said that in his lonely days, when he had lost his town to the gladiator that rebelled, this was the place that he came for comfort.
Some others said that it had been a gift from Governor momoa.
As Lenny walked through, he listened to the gossip of demons, both far and near. Many more complained about the meat that the Arena now produced. Most said that it tasted very weird, and ghat they rather gi hunt humans by themselves.
Some others talked about Cuban and his new regime.
All of them had their opinions. Nevertheless, he was going to find out the truth for himself.
This Arena was big and grand, displaying the true love for the violent arts that the Demons had.
However, just a while to it, Jasper stopped in her tracks. Lenny observed her from the side of his eyes. he could see that her hands were vibrating and her eyes displayed her fear. This was fear due to the trauma that this place had given her.
He placed a hand on her shoulder, "don't worry, it is fine!" She got more courageous as she saw the confident look in his eyes.
They continued on their way.
They were Two demons, the size of pillars in from of the large gate that led into the Arena. They looked reptilian in nature but still had bat wings that were folded behind their backs.
Captain crimson was stopped in front of the Gate, "Pirate, do you really desire to be eaten that much? This Arena is for Demons only."
Captain crimson nodded, "I am only here to offer gladiators as offering to the magistri."
One of the demons suddenly had a cunny smile, "so you are here to hand over food. Why don't I have a taste. Maybe a hand or a leg. just to see if these gifts are worthy of the Magistri's pallets.
The demon stretched for Jasper. As he did, what little courage the woman had summoned felt alienated from her body. Memories of what had happened in the past when she was a gladiator resurfaced and she found herself frozen in place.
Lenny sighed internally.
If they could not even get in through the door, then it was time for him to use a bit of violence.
However, just before the demon would reach Jasper, a female voice was heard from no where.
"Are you so foolish that you intend to touch gifts in my name?" The moment this voice went out, the demon's hand paused, and fear was apparent on his face.
"No magistri!" he stammered bit as he answered, resuming his position.
However, the next words everyone heard showed the kind of command that the Magistri had in this place.
"Since you wanted a hand or a leg, I'll take one too."
*SLUSH!*
Instantly, the hand that had reached out for jasper was cut from the wrist down.
"AHHH!" The Demon screamed in pain as its blood poured out like a fountain. Then again, this was a creature that was at least eleven feet high.
There was surely a lot of blood for it to spare.
The female voice chuckled maniacally, "not bad! now take your cut out limb and drop it on my table. It will be my lunch!"
"Yes, Magistri!" The demon bowed to the void.
However, this particular voice sounded very very familiar to lenny. He just couldn't place a finger as to where he had heard it before.
Regardless, the gates leading into the Arena was opened. "Leave the gifts by the gate!" The female voice ordered.
Captain Crimson turned to Lenny and whispered, "this is as far as I can go! I really hope that you can kick the balls of these bastards once and for all."
After which, he turned and left.
The doors of the Arena had been made open.
These doors that signified the sealing of a man's fate. These doors that once sealed Jasper's fate.
As she went through them, she could only put all her trust and hope on lenny.
A Demon met them at the gate. This demon was frog like, reminding lenny of a particular fellow during his time as a Gladiator.
The demon that welcomed them in according to Appraiser was merely a lesser ranked demon.
"You trash are lucky. The Magistri already has her meal for lunch," as he said this, his eyes turned to the demon that was going to serve up his arm.
Everyone understood what he meant.
The Frog like demon took Lenny and the others through a dark corridor into the underground layout of the arena.
Deeper and deeper they went, until there were several hundred feet deep within the earth.
They arrived at a gate with a tag above its head. The tag read: F Class.
Lenny looked at it, flashing back on good old days.
"You will be tested for your classes here." As the demon said this, he opened up the steel doors, and the three were led in.
The look of the place and the stench were just like Lenny had remembered it all to be.
It was absolutely repulsive.
F class was the bedrock of all Arenas that particular rule had not changed one bit.
The frog demon handed them over to another demon. This one looked to be a pig, "test them!" he instructed as he turned and walked away.
The Pig like demon looked at them, walking around them. It snorted a bit. However, Lenny suddenly, grabbed him by the neck which surprised it.
