Enemies of the past

"What is love? Is it devotion, reliance, purpose, or vulnerability?" Prince Diakon

Diakon and Diana faced off against one another, as their focus was solely on each other as the world faded and grew silent.

"You made it." Daikon spoke, his voice laced with mock surprise.

"Yes, I did. Were you hoping to save yourself from a beatdown?" Diana replied in a playful manner.

"We are 12-13 in terms of wins in my favour; what exactly makes you believe you can beat me this time?" Daikon spoke, his arrogance seeping from every syllable.

"Because this isn't a sparring match, this is combat, a true fight. I will not be holding back, and I hope you can take it, big man." Diana replied in a serious tone.

"Good, I was beginning to grow tired of you." Dakon laughed out

"Grown tired of me, the nerve; you really know how to vex a lady," Diana spoke her tone laced with mock fury

"Is there a lady present? I was not aware of it because I know you're not talking about yourself with the way you chow down," Daikon laughed out.

"Are you really judging others' food consumption?" Men in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Daikon," Diana replied in an assumed tone. She got into her fighting stance, one that was different from all those that Diakon had seen before in the various sparing matches they had in the six months since he came to Themescyria. This stance gave off a different aura, one that screamed danger. A jolt of electricity shot up Diakon's spine as a wicked grin adorned his face. His Sayian instincts and lust for battle were taking over.

"Now we are getting to the good stuff. Show me your power, Diana of Themescyria." Diakon screamed as he charged at Diana, shockwaves were left behind from the speed of his movements as he closed in on her. He aimed for a gut punch, which was quickly blocked by Diana's palm as the force from the clash sent violent gusts of wind and shockwaves through the area.

Diana quickly grabbed the wrist and pulled in Daikon, elbowing his nose and then flipping him over her shoulder with enough force that the impact shook the ground, cracking it to the loud cheers of the audience.

Diakon responded in turn, opening his mouth to reveal a ki blast aimed directly at the princess. Diana managed to block the blast with her bracelets, but the force still sent her rocketing into the sky as Daikon launched himself after her to continue their clash in the sky.

Diana managed to stabilise herself in the air, but before she could react, Diakon appeared behind her and delivered a sickening axe kick to the undefended back of Diana that propelled her right into the arena wall, which instantly gave way, crumbling like tissue paper as she crashed through it.

Diana slowly got up, patting the dust off herself and trying to ignore the stinging pain in her back. He really had not held back in his assault. She wasn't battle-crazed like all Sayians seemed to be, but something with Diakon forced out her competitive nature, and the prospect of dominating him excited her, a new source of entertainment she thoroughly enjoyed.

Thinking of a strategy, she started gathering all the rocks and bits of the crumbling walls of the arena that she could and proceeded to hurl them with all her strength at Daikon. She was sure they would do nothing much, even if they did hit, but if he did what she expected him to do, it would give her the opening she needed.

Daikon was still flying in the sky, a bit annoyed that it was taking her this long to get back. He knew he hadn't hit her that hard.

Whoosh

The sound of dozens of rocks cutting through the air as they rocketed towards him drew his attention as he blasted them to smithereens using his heat vision, creating a dust cloud that blocked his vision of Diana and the arena.

Daikon suddenly moved out of the way as Diana's foot cut through the dust cloud, dissipating it with a front kick.

"You do know that I can sense your ki, so I don't need my eyes to see you." Daikon said, his voice laced with his usual arrogance.

"You shouldn't talk too much in a fight, Diakon." Diana said in a stern voice, having lost her usual relaxed and warm demeanour.

"Yh, and why is that..." Daikon's words died in his throat as Diana whipped around her lasso, got a hold of Daikon pulling him in, and as she grabbed his head with her palms and delivered a solid knee to Daikon's jaw, it resounded with a massive shockwave as she forced him to bite off his own tongue as blood splattered all over her staining skin.

"That's why, sadly, your regeneration will make it, so I must hear your insufferable voice again," Diana proceeded to say in amusement as she moved onto delivering solid knees to his gut.

Daikon proceeded to unleash his heat vision at full blast at the solar plexus, launching Diana back from the force her armour smoking from the heat but was unscathed. Daikon quickly approached her as he smacked her with a vicious clothesline and delivered a backhand that busted open her lip as his knuckles tingled with her warm blood trickling down his arm.

Daikon then proceeds to grab onto her face and fly at top speed towards the arena. Dianas attempts to resist were futile as her body was buried in the arena,the force of the impact destroying the whole arena. The audience is only kept safe thanks to the force field that protecs them.

Diakon proceeded to fly around, dragging Daina around thearea, her face still buried in the stone of the arena floor. She is rag-dolled around as he drags her face along the floor and the walls as he continues to build up momentum and then spins her around using her face, the centrifugal force causing a small tornado to be formed as he launches her into the sky with the accumulated momentum.

Daikon then begins to get into an all-too-familiar stance, his arms to his side. As the air begins to heat up around him, he begins to scream as an azure light begins to shine brightly through the arena.

"KAME" Diana was still trying to get her bearings. In the sky, Diana was completely helpless as he charged his signature attack.

"HAAAAME," a bright ball of ki, begins to form in Daikon's hands as Diana finally manages to stabilise herself in the air, but it is too late.

"HAAAAAA!" Daikon extends his arms forward and launches a Kamehameha at Diana, the rocks around him floating in the air due to the intense amount of energy.

Diana is swallowed up by the bright blue wave of Ki, and everyone is blinded by the light for a few seconds as the smoke clears. Diana is seen falling from the sky as Diakon rushes into the air after her. Just as he gets, close to her he sees.

Her armour is heavily damaged, bits of it turned to ash, the metal of the plates falling, having been turned to dust in the attack. Diana is a mess; her body is covered in small burn marks, and she is bleeding from her left shoulder.

When he gets close enough to her, as she continues her plummet, her eyes shoot open as the blades extend from her golden bracelets as she fluidly stabs Daikon in the hip, running him through as a wave of blood gushes out of him, splattering over her face and blades.

"Ah" Daikon grunts in pain but ignores it as he wraps his arms around her, attempting to crush her in a bearhug ignoring the pain from the blade still sticking in his hip.

Crack

"Grr" Diana begins to moan in pain as Dialon tries to get her to vomit out her organs. Seeing as she couldn't overpower him, she resorted to the Goku technique of escaping holds as she opened her jaws and bit into Daikon's face, biting off his nose.

Diana's tongue felt the warmth of Daikon's flesh as his blood trickled down her lips and throat, giving her a savage look as Daikon let go of the hold, retreating back a bit and and freeing himself from both Diana and her blade.

"What the fuck? Why is it always my nose with you?" Daikon screamed in pain as his face was missing his nose, but that quickly regenerated, erasing any signs of damage.

Diana didn't respond; instead, she rushed in, engaging in a flurry of blows with Daikon, who had superior strength and durability but lacked the fluidity, speed, and experience she had. As she was beginning to push him back, predicting his moves, he had no fighting technique, whereas she was a master of multiple forms of hand-to-hand martial arts with centuries of experience. As she was pushing him back, she used a decoy sidekick to gain an opening as she tried to poke out Daikon's eyes.

Crack

Diana retreated back as her index and middle fingers were broken. Daikon had smashed his forehead into them, turning them into crumpled bone and flesh.

The two said nothing and engaged again. Diana was shifting her style more towards grappling than striking, throwing Diakon off for a bit as she managed to manoeuvre around him, wrap her lasso around his neck, and lay him across her back as she tried to snap his neck.

Just then he did something no one expected; he didn't claw at the rope; rather, he simply used a ki blade to cut off his head, tossing it aside as he regrew his body as his feet hit the ground.

"Been a while since I used that move," Daikon stated, a wild smirk on his face as he got back into a fighting stance.

"What are you doing?" Diana screamed, her cheeks turning pink.

"Getting ready to clash again" Daikon replied, befuddled.

"Not like that, you're not naked in Heras's name; put some clothes on." Diana screamed at him, her voice frantic.

Daikon, finally realising the issue, proceeded to shrug his shoulders, not leaving his fighting stance. "Oh, whatever it's just skin, let's get to the fun part."

"Shameless barbarian" Diana grumbled, but acquiesced to his demands and rushed back at him as they engaged again in combat again.

This time, however, things took a drastic turn as Daikon's eyes began to glow yellow and his hair spiked up a bit, and Diana's attack stopped having any effect on him as he began to pummel her in a one-sided beatdown, knocking teeth and blood from her mouth as he landed vicious combos until his eyes lost the glow.

"Dam, it still can't hold it for more than a few seconds." Daikon lamented as he stood before Diana, who was beaten into the ground, her armour becoming fancy rags and her body bruised, battered, and bloodied. Her eyes barely opened as he went to reach for her. She tried to lock him in a triangle hold but was too weak as he tore apart her hold and delivered two punches to her face, knocking her unconscious.

"50:00 minutes," Queen Hippolyta announced as the cheers of the crowd finally broke through the battle-crazed haze that Daikon was in as he raised his arm in victory.

Princess Diana is the new champion of Themescyria.

Persephone Pov

I walked through the clearing on the far edge of Themescyria quietly and quickly, making my way through the restricted area of the island as the roads disappeared, and I found myself walking through the jungle of Themescyria.

The shock waves from the battle between the princess and Daikon could be heard even here and probably far off the island as well, if the erratic nature of the waves was any indication as to the impact.

Truly two monsters to cause such devastation as merely collateral damage even with the force field limiting the after-effects of the blows, but their power will still pale in comparison to my Lord when he is free.

She continued her journey. her hand firmly planted on her sword as she cut through the forest and came upon Alexa sitting on a rock, her nose in some book like always, as she stood guard outside the solid iron door.

"Sister, why are you guarding the door? Shouldn't it be Marini's day on duty?" I asked, keeping my voice flat like always.

She looked up and smiled brightly. "I said I'd cover her duty since she really wanted to see a Sayian fight again. You know, since we lost Gine, we haven't seen one fight," she said, her voice becoming sadder at the end, a reminder of the price paid in our battles and of the sisters we lost.

"Well, you can also go. I shall relive you. I wish not to see a battle I already know the results of." I spoke, trying to sound as neutral and ambivalent as I could.

"It's quite alright. I shall lend you company, sister. I never did care much for battle. I prefer to sit and read," she said in a jovial tone as he dove back into her book. She never did have the stomach to fight a brilliant mind but a weak will.

I let out a deep sigh. I unsheathed my sword and plunged it into her stomach before she could even close her book. Child's play, her eyes had a look of shock and betrayal till they lost their light.

"Sorry, sister, but this has to be for my love." I spoke calmly, closing her eyes as I brought forth the keys and opened the doors.

"My love, it's good to see you again. Shall I assume today is the day we leave?" He spoke in an amused voice as his eyes darted between me and the body of my sister on the floor.

"Yes, Lord Arse." I bowed as he got up and followed me out of the cage that Hippolyta had put him in.

"What wonderful music! It's enchanting. Who is fighting so well? Who here can play the song of war so loudly?" he said, his voice having a dark glee in it.

"The Sayian Princes Daikon and Princess Diana, My Lord" I answered his question.

"I see. We shall see them again, but we shall leave for now. We have much to do," he said calmly.

I began to lead him to the undetectable, invisible plane I had stolen for our escape.
