The Mythzonian

The Mythzonian is a battle arena where humans can find their courage in seeing other humans slaughter depowered myths and sometimes powered myths in a fight. Sometimes myths are pinned against each other if there's a high demand for it. People come to bid and sell myths here to fight in such a blood bath. Myths are often beaten to death to make a point that myths do not belong on the Earth.

The Stranger Place
Some time later Daikeim wakes up and finds himself in a cell with a slit of light in front of him.

"The hell... Ugh, my head hurts... The last thing--" ''Daikeim stands up and looks around, before punching the wall next to him, creating cracks in the wall. ''"Where... Am I?"

Man: Uggghhh, your in a cell. *is looking through the slit* Not surprising really. Every myth who comes here ask the same thing. Anyway, do you have a name or nickname? If you do not have name or a nickname, one will be given to you.

"Daikeim... My name is Daikeim..."

Man: *writes it down on a clipboard* Alright, let me register your name and cell number and then we'll wait a few. So in the mean time enjoy the last bit of life you had, cause this is gonna be your new one now. *disappears*

"Yeah... I doubt that." ''Daikeim reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ring and puts it on his finger, before sighing and looking around his cell. In the meantime, he decides to train in the confined room until further notice.''

''Rumbling can be heard from above as well as cheering. They can hear some sort of a monstrous hissing sound.''

Kado lets out a small breath. "What a nuisance...."

''Daikeim looks to the cell next to him and speaks in a curious tone. ''"Kado? Is that you?"

"So what if it is? Doubtless this is a- an arena where most likely we'll slice each other to pieces."

Kado falls silent for a moment, then growls, "Neo, don't interrupt me again."

"Yeah, that's Kado alright. So then, how did you get sent here?" Daikeim says while slamming his fist against a wall.

"Some masked guy thought it would be funny to hit me over the head. Woke up here. I could care less what they decide to do with me. If we did fight I'd rather you kill me and find your way out of here. I have nothing to live for anyway."

"Yeah, some thug slammed a sledgehammer over my head too... And you obviously have something to live for, there's Azula, isn't there? I mean... Yeah, she's in a pretty bad position, but trust me, you'll rescue her. And you said nothing was going to stop you from true peace, right?"

"No... I can't save her. And I'm just a fool, same as ever. If I can't even deal with a few humans... ....then I will never defeat White. I'll never stop Phoenix. This fate is fitting for a failure like me."

Man: Sure hope you're not like that out there. So far some peeps out there have already given random bids on ya', so you get out there and give 'em their money's worth.

"Just shut up you money whore! You do realise these collars won't hold us for long, and when that does happen... These walls will have a nice shade of red painted on them."

Man: They all say that. You guys maybe up soon. You guys look like some good competition. *disappears*

Kado says nothing, deep in thought. After a few minutes, he sighs.

"So much I don't understand....."

"What do you mean?"

"Some of my memories... don't make sense. They feel chopped in pieces. I feel like in my childhood, there are so many blank spots in my memory... I don't understand it."

"Oh... Is your life that scarred that your memory is becoming patchy?"

"No. I know there's something there. I just can't remember it. Everything else in my memories is normal except.... it feels off. Like something was ripped out and someone planted in something to replace it. I can't remember if I had a brother or sister.... I can't even remember my mother's face. But I really feel.... like I should. It feels more like they were ripped out.... ....not forgotten."

"Could this be the effect of the others? Y'know, the other souls? Maybe your memories are getting swapped, but I doubt that's the case..."

"No... Neo is a terrible liar and the girl.... ....She doesn't have anything. It's like looking at a blank wall. She's there but.... how do I explain it? She's as though she has no definition or form to her existence, and whatever thoughts she has are more like brief flickers of sensation than actual mental activity."

"Oh ok... Umm, can I ask something, if you remember it of course... How did the other souls get into you? Or were you born with extra souls?"

"When Phoenix tried to have me killed.... they technically succeeded. Just before I could escape, they all impaled me in the heart. My sheer terror and countless other emotions tore me apart. Literally. As a spirit hybrid, I never knew I even had those powers. ...I wanted to escape the pain and the rage. The fear and the hate. I split myself apart. My hatred and wrath became Neo, and the girl.... ....she represents everything I came to despise about myself. My flaws, my weakness, my fear. My inability to do anything. My sadness. ...They are the two halves of my original being. As for me... well, I'm just a shell. An empty vessel with nothing to fill it. And now the Original Will is dead. We can no longer become one, so we're stuck like this."

Both of them are being alleviated and a light above them begins to shine brighter and brighter.

''I already know where this is going... predictable.''

"Sorry to hear... I hope your problems fix themselves soon, but for now..." Daikeim sighs and gets in a stance.

Kado simply closes his eyes.

They are completely in the light of day as everyone jeers from all around them

Announcer: Next two are recently been added to the new addition of our collection of myths. This is a bidders fight. Brought to you by popular demand from our loving supporters. These two have also been brought to you by our ever so kind providers. From the an unknown plane of Fantasy, lies many unknowns, but the recent invasion tells it all. Our people suffer now from their kind wanting to annihilate us. For shame...This man here is the first of any species of Mytho this world has ever seen. We know him as the Destroyer of London, let us welcome the first man who preluded this entire event to begin with. We give you, Dark Phoenix!

 Everyone boos while saying hateful things such 'As this is all your fault!' and 'My family's dead because of you!' and 'I hope they mop the floor with your ass, creep!' 

A slow, dark grin crosses Kado's face, one that alarms even Daikeim, and he begins to laugh harshly, then insanely, then it finally fades, the laugh silencing their cries, but he makes no other response for a few minutes.

"Perhaps the Second Coming really is your only salvation after all." He says coldly.

"Ugh, ignorant pathetic people..." ''He looks at Kado and notices the grin. ''"Just try and stay in focus Kado... You can't let them get to you."

Announcer: Oooohhh. Do you hear the people? He has no remorse for his doings. And who do we call myths like that?

 Everyone yells in unison 'Monsters!' 

Announcer: Thank you for portraying the perfect image of your kind. Next one was brought to you from Upnation, the Unknowns of the True Fatherland. He has killed some of our dear providers. Oh what tragedy, but I hope it was worth it! We have here is an unknown being whom none of us recognize as a myth. But he might as well put up one heck of a fight. We bring you, Daikeim!

Everyone cheers

''Daikeim just sighs and folds his arms. ''"Hmph..."

Announcer: Now since this is a bidders fight, if these two survive the required fight given to them. The bidders well get paid handsomely. So let begin to spin the Battle Wheel.

Kado simply closes his eyes. "So many things you don't understand..... ...People never change. No matter if you tell them a lie or the truth. They only see their own suffering." He says to himself.

Announcer: Now here we go. *spins the wheel*. Now, we all know we have about four options on the wheel. Flogging, Man vs Myth, Myth vs Myth, and the Great challenge. So you all might want to get your bids on ready. I have a feeling it's going to be an exciting day for all. *the wheel begins to slow down*

''Daikeim looks at the wheel as his Soul Stone faintly glows red. ''"Fine... If they're gonna be like this, then let judgement day serve..."

Announcer: Aaaaaanndddd it iiiisss...*the wheel stops* Ladies....and Gentlemen...We....have got ourselves a CHALLEEEEENNGE! HAHAHA!

Everyone roars excitedly.

Announcer: Shshshshshshsh. Now, this means that these two 'lucky'....men will be fighting the Unstoppables! Legends of the Zonian! And her they are! *gestures up to a balcony with a throne ontop*

A hooded-armored figure appears from the shadows

Announcer: Let us welcome our beloved Inhibit. Slayer of a thousand myths and the Claymore of All.

Everyone cheers his name

Kado places a hand on Earth Slayer's hilt silently.

"They came here for entertainment... Hmph, let's see how entertaining we can make his defeat be." ''A blade of fire forms in Daikeim's hand, as the fire fades away, the Draconia is shown. ''"He'll pay for his mindless slaughter..."

Announcer: O. they're all ready to fight. Let's get started with the first opponent.

Something comes up from under Kado and Daikeim and it blows them away.

Kado lands on his two feet effortlessly. He looks up at the crowd for a moment, then back at the source of the blast.

"Amazing how everyone thinks I'm the one who destroyed London. But then again, everyone needs their scapegoat. You should be blaming Phoenix. Hell, you should be preparing for their next attack. The one to end all wars on Earth. But go ahead, waste the little time you have to prepare on your mindless games while your world comes to an end."

He chuckles. "Not that you have the capacity to understand anything I say... nor would you care.... Daikeim, let's not waste our energy."

''Daikeim smirks and chuckles back, looking at Kado. ''"Not like we would need to waste it on these fools, but still... Yeah, I agree, let's not."

Announcer: You here that, folks? They think they have a choice. Oh well. Introducing the pet of our dear Exima. I present to you the devourer of the arena.

Sand clears out the way and a demonic looking serpent towers over them.

Announcer: Pythonicus

Pythonicus: *hisses monstrously, while his frills pop out and in those frills are many smaller serpents hissing*

Announcer: It's been awhile since our dear Pythonicus had a proper lunch. I hope he likes defiance.

"I swear if he doesn't shut up, I'm going to stab Earth Slayer into the ground and show them what would have really happened at London if I didn't intervene." He growls to Daikeim.

"I know, his voice is getting irritating... But, I would love to see these fool's reactions to us putting their little pet down..."

Pythonicus: *drills back under ground send them flowing away again*

Kado suddenly unsheathes Earth Slayer in the direction of Pythonicus, sending a violent ripple through the arena floor and even shaking the arena in general, the grains of sand being repulsed by the blast act like millions of razor sharp blades which cut the serpent countless times, lacerating it with thousands and thousands of microscopic cuts that reach into its blood vessels, as well as pushing the serpent back significantly.

"Impressive, Kado. Should I? ...Yeah, might as well entertain myself too." ''Daikeim sprints after the serpent, charging the Draconia with Exeon energy, Daikeim then leaps into the air and lands on Pythonicus, stabbing the Draconia down to it's hilt. Daikeim then smirks and tightens his grip on the handle as he runs down the top of the creature, forcefully dragging the blade along. With the Exeon energy, the resulting slash is massive, even scraping the bones, finally Daikeim pulls the Draconia out and jumps in the air, watching the aftereffects of the energy to rapture Pythonicus' organs. ''"Child's play, really..."

Pythonicus: *tail whips Daikeim away and breaks free of the blades. It's wounds just mound back together. Heads back underground*

Kado sighs. "Demons. Not worth it at all."

''Daikeim lands next to Kado, with an obviously annoyed look to his face. He looks at Kado as his Soul Stone glows gold, he smirks. ''"Kado, I'm only going to give you a small amount ok? Just trust me with this."

Kado looks over at him. "Whatever it'll take to deal with this crap."

"Ok... Just don't let this get to your head." ''Daikeim closes his eyes then gains a golden aura, he grabs Kado's arm and speaks in Heroa dialect. Causing a small portion of Exeon energy to transfer to Kado, upon doing this. Kado's eyes glow gold and he gains a sudden burst of power that rivals one of a god. As Kado looks at his Slayer, he notices it's changed slightly, with it pulsing. Daikeim opens his eyes as they glow gold too, he looks at Pythonicus. ''"So Kado, how do you feel now?"

"Oh, you know, like I just had fifty energy drinks."

"You can also punch with a force of twenty supernovas and move faster than light itself, not to mention that with your reflexes, you can practically see the enemies movements before they even do it. So multiply fifty with around... Eight hundred thousand, and that's roughly the amount."

Kado surges forth after the serpent, and jumps into the air and brings Earth Slayer down straight into the ground, the ground moving away in a violent surge which crushes the serpent's entire body with bone shattering force and flattening its head and upperhalf, as the sand moves down and away from the blade's malicious devouring edge.

Pythonicus: *his tail turns into his new head and is about to devour Kado*

Inhibit: STOP!

Pythonicus: *halts*

Inhibit: I believe it's my turn.

Everyone begin to be silently excited, taken back.

Pythonicus: *returns under the sand*

Inhibit: *jumps 100 feet in the air and lands only several feet away from Kado and Daikeim* Quite impressive. At first I thought you guys where just going to depend on your swords and not the strength of you mind. Which you sort of did, but I was still impressed. Most who face Pythonicus just disappear as soon as they take the first step. So odd, right?

Kado silently draws Dark Slayer as well as already holding Earth Slayer. A tinge of red is in his otherwise black pupils.

''Daikeim just glances at Inhibit and sighs. ''"Uh huh... So then." ''Daikeim examines the 'opponent' then focuses back on his face. ''"So you just kill innocent Mythos for fun?"

Inhibit: And to strengthen the people. Am I right?

everyone yells in agreement

Kado coldly stares at him, his swords seemingly in a lax grip.

"You give them the sensation of empowerment. Power is false strength. The source of all strength is not only power, but the will to control and wield it. Anyone can have power. But few can use it. Strengthen? No. You just make them blind to their weakness."

Inhibit: If your implying that weakness is cowrdice, then plase spare me. People come down to fight these myths all the time. Some do hand-to-hand. No pwers. Others want to test their strength and try to fight one without it's collar. Me personally, I just want to see abit a swordplay. your swords practically interest me.
