Chapter Four

Master Nem's Colosseum, a huge disturbance takes place!

"WHERE ARE YOU! COME OUT HERE!" Alexander demanded.

"That bastard.... this is the thanks I get for healing him?" Sheeva said aggravated walking towards the colosseum.

Just as she was approaching the large door a vibration made her stop in her tracks. Turning around her eyes widened looking up at someone that completely dwarfed her in size. "Master Nem!" Sheeva said as the towering elderly obese woman made her way to the entrance. "I can handle him! You didn't need to leave your office for this!"

"No worries daughter! Step aside!" Master Nem said walking past Sheeva and stopping at the door. "I'm in need of some exercise anyhow!" Placing her hand on the door, Master Nem would casually push the door breaking it from the hinges and pushing it forward sending the thirty foot tall door flying.

Alexander turned to see Master Nem approaching the middle of the Colosseum locking eyes with her. "You... you're the one who's responsible for this!" Alexander spat summoning a sword and shield in hand. "I disposed of all your so-called forces... as you can tell." He said pointing at the girls who laid unconscious at his feet and all throughout the area.

"Hmph! I will admit that it is rather impressive that you defeated my stronger Valkyries but now you face me and have no where to run.... GIVE UP AND COME DOWN HERE BOY!" Alexander walking down a few steps took an impressive leap landing in the middle of the Colosseum only a few meters away from Master Nem's enormous figure.

Looking up, he took in the size of Master Nem. While Hyptant was a slender, tall old man. Master Nem was not only taller than him by over ten feet, she was a very obese woman as well. A creepy unsettling grin made Alexander nervous as she looked down on him as if he were inferior to her in every way. But when facing an enemy of this caliber he knew deep inside he couldn't afford to be nervous nor show it either. "What's this? You seem so relaxed!" Master Nem said to him clinching her massive fist.

"When facing someone such as yourself... you can't afford to be nervous." Gripping his sword and shield tighter Alexander would get into a ready stance.

"My my... you can't be serious.... do you really want to fight me?" Master Nem asked. "This is your one and only chance boy." She said.

"Yes, and I have to fulfill this mission at all cost."

"Your mission?" She asked.

"That's right. Once I take you down, I'm going to free all these people you brainwashed and eradicate your entire race!" Alexander said as he pointed the sword straight to Master Nem who was still smiling. A few moments would pass while one another would stare at each other. Then, Master Nem threw her head back in laughter, "there is no way you think you stand a chance!"

"Your ignorance will prove to be your downfall Master Nem and we'll just leave it at that."

"Very well, then do as you like Alexander." Master Nem shifted her attention to Sheeva, "this won't be long darling." Master Nem calmly said. "Let's make this a little interesting shall we? I'll let you make the first move."

Taking a step to the side, Alexander would begin walking that would soon turn into a full sprint. Master Nem followed Alexander movements still with a smile on her face. Stopping in place Alexander thrust forward with his sword pointed at Master Nem's belly. Despite being a nearly thirty foot tall woman she evaded him easily now ending up at the other side of the Colosseum. "Come on now, think with your mind not your body Alexander! Over two centuries old and you still fight like this!" Summoning a mace in hand, Alexander struck the ground creating a massive ice wall with spikes to raise from underneath Master Nem's feet tossing her up into the air. "You and these fancy little tricks! Is that all you got King?"

Summoning his two handed sword Alexander swung horizontally upwards toward Master Nem who was falling down. "GREAT FIERY SLASH!" A projectile of blue fire flew towards her as she smiled diving down faster so she could evade the attack.

"Too think my brother died to you amateurs! You rely on pure power like your some type of overwhelming God! I will tell you one thing boy!" Master Nem landed ever so elegantly crossing her arms while standing a few meters away from Alexander. "You really have no idea what you're facing..."

Alexander walked forward looking up at his towering opponent that still remained smiling. "I am well acquainted with your kind you ugly creature. I did your brother's bidding for many years bringing him people for him to consume only to think I was doing something right. I'll never be the same again after those events... people I can never bring back because of my selfishness."

Master Nem would cackle a bit, "Oh, but look at it this way their bodies were donated to a greater cause. You were just a simple pawn, nothing more. Now? I will be the first to tell you that you fulfilled your purposes and now you will perish!" Alexander growled while she laughed hysterically. Leaping into action, Alexander swung his sword horizontally unleashing a wave of fire once more. Master Nem evaded once more however this time she would backhand Alexander out of the air as if he were a fly. "You're cute..." She would say unimpressed as her opponent skidded across the ground into the wall. Alexander's helmet disappeared so he can cough up blood onto the sand.

He placed a hand on his knee struggling to get to his feet only to fall back down. "Damn it...." He said to himself. Looking up he saw that Master Nem had already been standing over him.

"Just surrender already!" Raising her hand up she brought it down with force. Just in the nick of time Alexander moved out of the way only to be struck again with a flick of her finger. He was sent skidding across the battleground again crashing into another wall. Master Nem walked over to her fallen opponent starting to shrink in size as she approached closer. Now, she stood only two feet taller than the six foot Alexander. As she was only less than a foot away from him, Alexander saw an opportunity to toss sand in her eyes that would agitate her.

Rubbing the sand out of her eyes Alexander took the opportunity to summon a sharp javelin forcing it forward at Master Nem's protruding gut. Even blinded she still managed to evade him grabbing a hold of the javelin and pulling it to bring him closer hitting him with a massive headbutt that cracked open his helmet. That didn't stop him though, summoning a one handed war hammer he swung right to her face. Even recovering from the sand in her eyes she somehow tracked the hammer coming straight at her connecting with her face. This would make her growl in frustration but didn't even make her move an inch. Tossing him away Master Nem dashed forward with a flurry of blows striking him in different spots. Each spot she struck a chunk of his armor would break. But with the trade off of using his stamina, Alexander would regenerate the armor once more. With one final kick into the sternum Alexander was sent skidding back trying to stop himself from going further. " Are you going to give up or do you want to keep being my punching bag!" Dashing forward once more Master Nem reeled back her fist smashing into the face of Alexander this time going flying head first into another wall.

Getting up faster this time, Alexander was met with an uppercut sending him skyrocketing upward only to be grabbed by the ankle and slammed on the ground. "You keep getting up only to be knocked down! When will you see that you cannot win?" Letting go of him she laughed enjoying this pointless battle. Getting up once more repairing his armor again he turned back this time with enchanted iron knuckles that had pointed spikes on each knuckle. "Oh? What is this? Tired of your fancy weapons and wish to go hand in hand? This will be very interesting."

Taking the first step forward Alexander threw a fast jab that Master Nem would easily dodge. But there was an obvious change in Alexander and she saw this immediately. Before he was far too slow for her that it was laughable. "Now this is new..." She whispered dodging a flurry of attacks from Alexander. With those knuckles he had been far faster than before, so fast that she had no choice but to be on the defensive. During her evasion of the blows that is when she witnessed it first hand. Looking closely at his knuckles she saw that Alexander's hands were wielding lightning. Retreating back Alexander was now closing the gap just as fast as she was in the beginning. Throwing another jab Master Nem narrowly evaded once more retaliating with a strike in the chest. Alexander skidded back forcing himself to a stop beginning to pant frantically.

He hated using these weapons for one simple reason and that was the taxing effects it had on his body that he obviously never trained for. While he had been extremely fast to the point Master Nem was on the defensive he had a very short time limit with these knuckledusters.

Reverting back to her original size Master Nem would take a huge leap across the battlefield to close the distance. Seeing a woman of her size coming from the sky left him momentarily flabbergasted but he would move out of the way as she landed. Now behind her Alexander jumped up running up Master Nem's backside till he made it up to her head. Lightning sparked charging up ready to strike her in the back of her head. Instantly she turned to him with a grin on her face with a backhand going straight for him. "DAMN!" Grabbing a hold of her hand before it connected with his body he hoisted himself over the hand and propelled himself forward with a reeled back fist. Master Nem's eyes would follow him as he landed a direct hit to her cheek.

Master Nem in frustration growled shoving away her opponent then launching herself in the air performing a front flip. Leading with her foot Alexander propelled himself to the side avoiding the slamming of a massive foot. Tracking his movements the very large woman dashed forward trying to grab a hold of him. Evading her hand multiple times Alexander was now gauging small opens. But there was something that he had noticed during this whole ordeal. Even though it had only been twice that he had landed hits on her these were attacks that were certainly at one hundred percent. Yet Master Nem has not taken any damage whatsoever from his attacks. "I just don't understand."

Why was it that Master Nem dodged most attacks then every now and again she wouldn't even bother blocking. It wasn't as if he got the upper hand on her incredible combat reflexes. The two times she got struck she followed his movements with an ample amount of time to react. So why was it that she just decided on not dodging at certain times? While he pondered, Master Nem would see an opening in her onslaught. "I GOT YOU!" She yelled using one swift moment to literally flick him so hard he went flying through the stone wall to the outside skidding across the ground till he was halted by a tree.

Despite all that the king would struggle to get to his feet. On the outside Sheeva stopped only a few feet away from Alexander who began walking back to the hole he made with his body. "So, when are you going to stop?" Sheeva would ask. "You better be lucky that tree was so conveniently placed there for you wasn't it." She said.

Stopping in place, Alexander turned to look at her his head had been busted open with blood leaking down his face. "You really don't know what awaits, do you?" He asked her.

"You are definitely in no place to talk Alexander. Don't think I haven't done my research on you...."

Laughing to himself he would grin facing Master Nem who waited in the middle once more. "I never claimed I was a saint. I know what I have done in the past and it'll pain me till the inevitable day I take my last breath. But at the very least I can eradicate every last one of her race." Taking an impressive leap that was easily higher than the ten story high Colosseum Alexander would summon a great two handed sword like no other. Beginning to spin forward at high speeds he would ignite the sword with blue fire along with himself. Falling toward Master Nem would only be amused by the colors and technique that he used as he was falling down. She never even bothered to even move out the way from an attack that was obviously intended to kill.

"PHOENIX SLASH!!!" The powerful attack slammed into Master Nem's chest. Both the combatants had been engulfed in smoke and steam from Alexander's attack. With his helmet gone his eyes widened in the aftermath. Master Nem's skin had not been pierced at all. Not even the slightest bit of blood had been shown. When the smoke cleared Alexander was face to face with a smiling Master Nem grinning in satisfaction. Grabbing a hold of him in her hand like he was a toy she stared at him before slapping him down head first into the ground creating a large crater with his body rendering him immediately unconscious.

"Sheeva! Come here my daughter and heal this boy up! Him and I will have a chat in my office here shortly."

On the outskirts of Sydney, Australia

Leaning against a tree Jacan had been awkwardly holding a phone talking to Kyzarian. "So, they already have an idea where we are hiding?" Jacan asked.

"Its safe to say yes. They already got a hold of Alexander, Charley, and hundreds of others. We will need you to be on the way back as soon as possible. They turned our own plan against us so now it's far more dangerous to be separated. Hope to hear from you soon Jacan..."

"Damn it..." Jacan said when Kyzarian hung up. Pushing himself of the tree he would turn towards the open field. "Hayden?" Jacan called out to him waiting for a response. "Hayden?" He called again and still there was no response.

A rustle of the tall grass caught Jacan's attention watching as whatever it was approached closer. A soft growl could be heard as a feral girl on all fours made herself known. "Hyena Girl...." Jacan whispered lowly too himself. He would take a fighting stance ready to battle with her but he saw that she sat in place staring at him nonchalantly. She never even bothered to try and defend herself she only looked towards the sky.

Seeing this Jacan turned to the sky seeing a falling figure from the sky. "The hell?" The figure was no more than a hundred feet away hitting the ground with a loud thud and powerful tremble. Turning his body fully Jacan saw as the figure began walking towards him. When it got closer, his eyes had widened. Tightening his fist he was face to face with someone he had never thought he would see again. Stopping only a mere fifteen feet away was a long time friend from Jacan's earlier days before he even came to the island. "And here I was really hoping deep down inside that Isabella was talking about a different Lola... I didn't wanna see your face." He said.

Lola stood there quietly as the wind blew against both of them. "As someone who has knew you for a long time. I know that the Lola I knew would not be working for someone who will backstab them in the end." Again, she stood there quietly only cracking her knuckles and beginning to walk forward. "Lola... don't make me do this." Jacan said looking down at both his hands having a quick flashback of both Lola and Jacan sitting in those cages being tormented by the people while both of them held hands with one another. Clenching his fist, tears streamed down his face and eyes red from puffiness facing his friend that walked towards him emotionless.

"I guess you leave me no choice..." He said locking eyes with her as her face formed a very creepy grin. Now only two feet away, Jacan angrily grimaced while she kept that sinister grin on her face. Jacan's body had tensed up reeling back his massive hand and driving it forward aiming right at Lola. She repeated this action at the same time he did leading to a collision of fist, a powerful shockwave unleashed blowing back everything in their wake.

Pushing against one another Jacan growled in frustration while Lola still smiled slightly struggling against her opponent.

In Lola's mind this was the first time she had finally met someone that was physically stronger than her and she was excited that she can go all out.
