As the contestants made their way back to the arena, there was a sense of anticipation in the air. Everyone had worked hard to make it this far, and now they were about to face their toughest challenge yet. The king stood up from his throne and looked down at the fighters with a stern expression."Welcome back, contestants," he said, his voice booming through the arena. "I hope you all enjoyed your short break, because it's time for the Battle Royal. The rules are simple - all twenty of you will enter the arena at once, and you must fight until there are only two of you left standing. Those two will then face off in a one-on-one battle to determine the winner of this round."Josh stood nervously among the other fighters, feeling a mix of excitement and dread. He had made it this far, but he knew the Battle Royal would be a challenge like no other. He looked over at Jordan, who gave him a reassuring grin."Don't worry, man," Jordan said. "We've got this. We've been training for this our
Josh collapsed onto the ground, pain coursing through his body. Gasps echoed throughout the audience section as they witnessed this unexpected turn of events. Jordan watched from afar, shock evident on his face.But suddenly, an incredible transformation occurred within Josh's body. Two large feathers sprouted from his back as a blinding beam shot out from his hands towards the big guy. The crowd erupted in astonishment at this display of power.Jordan's eyes widened in realization. "Now I know why he couldn't use his abilities. He was a Dragon Namekian. A crossbreed," he whispered to himself, awestruck by the revelation.With newfound strength and speed, Josh launched a relentless assault on the big guy. He moved like a blur, delivering powerful blows that sent the big guy stumbling backward. The tables had turned, and now it was the big guy who pleaded for mercy.Josh raised his sword high above his head, ready to deliver the final blow. But instead of ending the big guy's life, he
As the sun rose over the majestic palace, Josh woke up in his newly assigned chambers. His eyes widened with amazement as he took in the opulence surrounding him. The room was adorned with intricate tapestries, gold-trimmed furniture, and a massive four-poster bed fit for a king. He couldn't believe his luck!As Josh stepped out into the corridor, he was greeted by his new maids, Daisy and Lily. Both maids were known for their mischievous sense of humor and infectious laughter. They curtsied before him, their eyes twinkling mischievously." Good morning, Your Excellency! We are at your service." Daisy greeted."Indeed! We've been eagerly awaiting your arrival. The palace hasn't been this lively since... well, ever!" Lily commented.Josh chuckled at their enthusiasm and replied, "Good morning, ladies! I must say, I'm not used to all this attention."Daisy raised her head. " Oh, get used to it, Your Excellency! You're a big shot now!" She said." Absolutely! And we are here to make sure
As Rowan, Josh and Ajatar arrived at the southern part of the kingdom, they found themselves faced with a group of guards hot on their trail. With no time to waste, they engaged in a fierce battle, using their combined strength and skills to fend off their attackers. Swords clashed, arrows whizzed through the air, and magic spells were casted.Rowan's mischievous nature shone through even in the midst of battle. As he dodged a sword swing, he tripped one of the guards, causing him to stumble and crash into his comrades like dominoes. "Oops, my bad!" Rowan called out with a playful grin.Josh's wings spread wide as he soared above the battlefield, unleashing bursts of beams towards the guards. His presence alone struck fear into their hearts, causing some to retreat and others to fight even harder. He fought with a determination fueled by his desire to escape and find safety. His wings occasionally sprouted from his back, giving him an advantage in maneuvering around his opponents. Wit
" Where are you from, out of space?" The man asked, leaving Rowan perplexed. " The first city that was affected by the virus was New York, and I am very sure that nothing lives there apart from the fully transformed.Rowan furrowed his brow, " the affected? what are we talking about?" Rowan asked." Huh? Do you mean you are unaware of what is going on in the world?" The old man asked.Rowan sighed, " actually, you were right when you said we were from another world or realm. Whatever is going on in the world now, is not a virus." Rowan said.This new found information left the old man confused even more. " Then how would you explain the transformation of normal people into blood sucking…. Is it vampires or demons?" The old man asked." All of that was caused by a very powerful Demon. He is gathering an army by transforming people into Demons." Rowan explained." Who is the Demon you are talking about and how can we stop him?" The old man asked, his curiosity piqued."That is why I ne
"How did they get these abilities?" Ajatar asked as she kicked away one of the transformed people."I don't know, but we have to find a way out of here," Rowan replied as he swung his sword at another transformed person. " They will keep coming." He added.Josh looked at Rowan and said, "I agree. Let's get in the car and head to Las Vegas as planned." With that, they quickly got into the car and began their journey to Los Angeles?The Demons lunged at their vehicle, trying to stop it and break in, but they were knocked down and trampled upon."That was intense," Josh said as he drove through the deserted streets of New York City."Definitely," Rowan agreed. "But we need to stay alert. We don't know what's waiting for us in Las Vegas."Ajatar was silent and suddenly spoke. " Wait, are you the one who will drive us to LA?" She asked Josh." Yeah, why not? Are you suddenly scared? The great Ajatar is scared?" Josh teased, however he couldn't tease anymore when he felt a dagger behind hi
" What happened? Why were you there alone? Where are the rest of the survivors?" Ajatar asked, taking the baby from Max's hand, who seemed attracted to her.Max sighed." The demons attacked us and killed everyone including Mr Byrde. I managed to escape with this baby because somehow, I figured that these beings were scared of the cross." Max replied." Well, that is sad to hear. Who's baby is that?" Rowan asked." We met her mother on the way and she joined our group, only to get killed." Max replied with a tinge of sadness in his voice.He took a deep breath. " Look guys, about earlier, I am sorry for the way I treated you. We should have come with you guys. I mean.., I never thought you guys would still be alive, but here you are, meanwhile, the rest of the survivors are gone." He said, feeling guilty " You were just trying to do what was best for the group, and besides, the group made their choice to follow your words over Mr Byrde's." Ajatar said." Thanks," Max said, smiling at
The group of guards stood on the watchtower, looking out for any sign of transformed people to gun them down before they spread the disease. Suddenly, they saw three pregnant women approaching. The guards looked at each other, thinking about how weird the situation was. As the women got closer, they grew uglier and uglier. When the three women got close enough to the gates, the guards asked them to halt and asked what was their mission. One of the youngest women stepped in front and replied that they needed a place to stay and safely give birth. The guard asked if they were infected and she refuted. The guard asked why the woman's voice sounded strange. And she said she had a cough. The guard asked them to wait. As they waited, a small part of the gate opened, and a guard came out with a cross, then he pointed it in front of each and everyone of them. He concluded that the women were not infected as they didn't react to the cross. He asked them to go in. As the woman walked toward
