Baki Hanma: Blood Arena Novels & Stories

I defended them, “Their abilities, well actually all of our abilities, are emotion based, so of course there would be the odd slip up or accident.” “I know, but in a battle, it puts you at a disadvantage.” “I know it does.” “Ari and Gia will fight next.” King Halamar ordered. The crowd was cheering at the king's words. Ari stood and walked to the middle of the arena. “This should be good.” Ezryn mumbled as he laid Sunama down on the second bench. “She is ok just knocked out.” Huricana commented as she checked her over. “Yeah, the two with anger issues should be great.” I murmured, hoping they didn’t hurt each other.

A hooded figure with glowing green eyes stepped out from the black smoke, pointing a long silver crossbow directly at my chest! "Target confirmed!" the assassin shouted, his voice synthesized and metallic. "The Solis bloodline ends tonight!" A heavy silver bolt coated in black Void-poison shot through the air, speeding straight for my heart! I was standing on burned, charred feet, my energy drained from the trials. I couldn't move in time! "ARIA!" A dark shadow dropped from the fifty-foot royal box like a falling meteor! Malakai hit the arena floor, his broadsword flashing in the dark!

Their skins turning pale, their bodies having sparse flesh atop its skeletal framework and veins turning black making them look more or like zombies. The remaining four had to find a cure for this ailment, "Black Death"; they called it, Kimora was created by them, it came with a price, killing everyone with dark matter and three of the elders died in the process, Kimora was so powerful it did the job but a little too well having a mind of its own the last Elder saw this as a threat had the Kimora gotten rid of and he vanished not to be seen again.

I whipped my head toward the door, the scent of wild pines grating my nose. Goosebumps broke against my skin when i realized what the scent was, the Lycan! He was here! I couldn’t help the jolt of anticipation that went through me as I tried to avoid the monster’s dead gaze. “Come out and fight me you coward!” Hector's booming voice seemed to be coming from far away, the noise of the wind whistling through the trees and the creak of the wooden door swaying in the wind filled the air so that I watched the pink-eyed monster grit the multitude of his teeth.

Vladimir smiled at her but it immediately died down when a serious matter needed to be discussed. “I’ll open the link to him so whatever you say to me, he will hear them; so bring it on.” Ashlyn might be blushing at that smile but she nodded as she understood how serious that matter that they were facing at the moment. “They were here to get Ashlyn Kim Yu and the secret buried in the woods across the duplex houses. They want to wake up the Blood Prince from its slumber.” Vladimir reported that Alpha Jace heard through the open link that his daughter created. Only chosen or a rightful alpha can do such a link to another.

She was just punching everywhere and fast thinking it was minimum impact only to open her eyes and see blood, so much blood. She was harshly pulled off by Kali who rushed to take care of the warrior who was almost unconscious from the duel. “Who are you?!” Kali yells with rage, approaching Marissa who stepped back with every step Kali took. “Answer me!”. The trainer roars but was faced with Claire who immediately blocks her way to Marissa. The obstruction doubling the anger Kali already felt but Claire was ready to defend her sister. The trainer growled and was about to pounce when they heard a booming voice.

I hoped to play the hero–or heroin. Blood painted the stone walls of the fortress, they smelt like fresh blood. Before me in a long hallway was a huge door with few lifeless men littering the door entrance. My heart thuds as I make my brave steps towards the door. What's behind the door could be the dreadful one who slayed the men I met on the way. Also the one who might be keeping Emmett captive, because for what I know, he was immortal.

The ground trembled again, but this time, it wasn’t from the trench. It was from the outside. The wards had collapsed. Through the thin remains of the sanctuary’s boundaries, dark shapes moved bigger, hungrier than anything we had faced so far. The true children of the First Door. Maxwell drew his sword. Barin pulled twin knives from his belt. Nima raised her hands, magic already crackling between her fingers. I turned toward them, feeling the magic of the sanctuary surge through me like a living river. “We fight,” I said simply. The dark creatures roared, a sound like mountains splitting.

" Get out…someone shouted. My heart was beating fast, and I knew this would be my death. Cages opened, and I saw them: above me, a bone crow flapped its massive, skeletal wings, its empty eye sockets radiating with blue fire; behind me towered a shadow, shifting and twisting, its smoky form stretching tall and quivering like living darkness; in front of me was a beast, hunched and snarling, with clumped fur and long, yellowed fangs dripping with saliva; and far to the left, a strigoi stared with blood-red eyes, its skin pallid and lean thin over sharp bones, fangs revealed in a chillingly cold grin. Get to the weapons, I heard Noctis shouting, someone do something…. I grabbed two curved kniv

"The beast battle is one of Ark Two's biggest attractions. They hold it once a year. A hundred contestants are thrown into the arena with ten zombies. Whoever survives to the end wins. "The rest of us get to place bets on dark horses. If you pick the winner, you take the entire prize pool that everyone else bet." As he finished speaking, the arena came into view. It looked eerily similar to an ancient colosseum. Hayley's eyes widened as she saw rows of people standing in formation below, with iron chains locked around their necks and ankles.
