Destiny

  El tango was empty-handed and Beast was looking at him with the chain mace in his hand. Beast kicked a shield that was lying near him towards Eltango and told him to pick it up. He rested the mace on the ground to assure Eltango that he is not going to attack.

  El tango picked up the shield and was holding it up to his chest. Beast whirled the chain mace and looked at Eltango’s face there was fear on his face and Beast was enjoying it. Beast was whirling the mace and then he attacked Eltango with it. El tango was using the shield to save himself.

   The pace of Beast's attacks was increasing. He was striking the shield with the heavy mace. There were a lot of where he could have easily killed Eltango but he was playing with him. He was enjoying this. The continuous strikes from the mace broke the shield and Eltango fell on the ground.  Beast went near him and placed his foot on his chest. Beast opened his arms and he was looking at the crowd, showing off.

  The crowd was going crazy about him. Beas was considered second best to Eltango but today he was not only beating Eltango he was humiliating him. Beast turned towards the section where Zangar, Adam, and the bounty hunters were sitting. He roared like a winning lion towards them.

  While the match was going on, Zangar’s daughter came into the arena. She came directly to their skybox. She was the most beautiful girl in the whole galaxy. Her eyes were blue and had long blonde hair. Her skin was light brown in color. Her face was sharp with a sharp and small nose. She came inside the box and met everyone. Tron was very happy to see her.

   Zangar now picked Eltango from the ground and grabbed him from the neck and raised him from the ground. He kept like this for some seconds and slammed him hard on the ground. He kicked him on his chest and grabbed him from his leg and threw him on to the weapon stand. El tango was lying there unconscious. Beast was enjoying conflicting pain to him.

   Beast grabbed him again from the leg and dragged him in the middle of the arena. He took a dagger from a weapons stand and came near El tango. He ripped open his shirt and placed the tip of the dagger on his chest. He looked around at the crowd and started writing his name on to Eltango’s chest.

   He wrote Beast on his chest and then grabbed Eltango from the back of his neck. He picked him up from the ground and showed his name to the audience. The audience was chanting his name Beastie, Beastie, Beastie…

     Beast was smiling hearing his name. He was holding Eltango above the ground with one hand. He still had the dagger in his other hand. He placed the dagger on Eltango’s neck and slowly and painfully started cutting his neck. He was in no hurry. Beast was taking his time. El tango was writhing in his hands. He was slowly moving dagger cutting his neck conflicting all the pain he can.

Beast removed Eltango’s head off his shoulders. His head fell down. Blood was coming out of his body and he was withering like a dying fish. Blood was coming out of Eltango’s neck. Beast's hand was covered in blood. He released Eltango’s neck and his body fell on the ground. Beast rubbed his blood all over his face. He grabbed Eltango’s decapitated head and place on a spear. He then raised the spear high.

    The arena has seen many death matches but the brutality of this level was never ever seen here. The crowd was silent because they were frightened to see his brutality. Beast was showing his decapitated head to everyone.

   Adam was watching this match. He was cheering throughout the match. The fight-filled him with a strange joy. He was even enjoying his brutality. He was the only one cheering when Beast painfully and viciously decapitated El tango.

   Adam was feeling alive again. He lost his memory but his love for the fight and martial arts was still inside of him.

  Adam got up from his seat and called the beast with his name out loud. Beast turned towards him. Adam went near the fence over the fighting ground and said, ‘I want to fight with you.’

   Beast looked at him and laughed. Adam was half the size compared to the beast and he was also very lean compared to the Beast. Beast was laughing as Adam has cracked a joke. Beast trying to control his laugh said, ‘look at you. You are so ting. Do you have a wish to die?’

   His laugh and comments made Adam angry. Adam looked in his eyes with fury and said, ‘if you are not afraid. I would really like to kill you now.’ The smile was wiped off of Beast’s face and anger took its place. He stuck the spear he was holding in his hand, in the ground. He looked at Eltango’s head for a second and again turned his attention towards Adam. He spoke looking straight in Adam’s eyes, ‘I accept your challenge and I assure you. I will not kill you until I make you beg for death.’

   Zangar stood up from his chair. Adam was his property now but this all happened so quickly he was not able to do anything. Zangar came near the fence and said, ‘there will be no match. I don’t allow this. He is my property and he will do what I say.’  Beast spat to the side and accosted Zangar, ‘don’t you have rules around here. A challenge made and accepted can end only with the death of one opponent. Now he has to fight me or die anyway.’

   Zangar had no option now except to let Adam fight and die a painful death. Zangar looked at Adam and told him to go to the room of warriors and get ready for his fight.

   There were mixed reactions in-crowd. Some were thinking that he is a lunatic. Some were cheering him for his bravery.

   Adam went downstairs to the basement to get ready for his fight. He was wearing a royal robe and pants. A slave showed him the way. He went to the warrior’s room. Slave gave him a dress and body armor. Adam wore it and was ready for the fighting ground.

   Zangar came back to his seat and was waiting for Adam to arrive in the battle ring. His daughter asked him, ‘who is he?’ Zangar looked at his daughter and said, ‘Your birthday gift.’ ‘My birthday gift!’ she asked. She was confused. Zangar said, ‘yeah, I bought him for you as your birthday gift. I bought him to be your bodyguard. He looks like a warrior to me and a noble warrior.’  ‘Where did you find him?’ daughter asked him. ‘The bounty hunters brought him. They found him in space. He was bruised. He has lost his memory and I thought you will like him.’ She shrugged.
