-Zander Hall-I got this. I got this. That was the first thought in my head til the battle happened. Before that, I was wondering how soon the apocalypse will come. I mean, I managed to pin down my strong hot headed, and hot girlfriend. And Marlo was being serious. As if he has something to prove. I respect that, but it terrifies me because I already see the zombies coming.
As soon as I heard the "let the match begin," I tensed. Marlo and I look at each and nodded, like this might be out last goodbye and we're ready to face down any horrible monsters that Luncinda would throw at us. But we were surprised a little goblin thingie came out of the cave thingie with draw doors.
The creature had a tiny little voice and was about three feet tall. "Fear me! For I am your death wish!" It sounded like one of those of those squeaky chew toys.
"Wow. Luncinda I'm actually scared," I joked.
"Yep, I mean what? Is that the best you could do?" Marlo smirked.
"Did you get monster budget cuts or something?" I chuckled.
Lucinda, from her spectator box, just smiled at us as she snapped her fingers. Soon, there was thumping that shocked the entire arena. I looked confused as the goblin disappeared. Soon, all of a sudden, I saw the ugliest pair of feet ever. They were hairy and had some sorta fungus growing on it and the nails were sickly blue, as if they were about to fall off. I couldn't help myself. "WHAT ARE ... those?" I faltered as I looked up and saw a huge, weird creature stand in front of us.
"Uhhh. Hi?" Marlo managed to the creature without fainting.
I looked at the big monster. He was probably three times my height and had a big ugly eye in the middle of his forehead. His arms were long and buff, along with his legs. I don't know why, but he was wearing a tuxedo. I've heard Jackie talk about this type of creature before. Was it a cylo? Cilops? Cycrops? Cyclops? Something like that.
I bit my lip.
"Well. This should be interesting." Marlo said nervously.
"And painful, "I added.
"Yes. Never forget the pain." He mumbled.
The cyclops complained, "can hurry up? Fiancé waiting for me."
At first, I thought he was having a bad day. Then, I just realized he had the grammar of a four year old.
"Poor bride.." I muttered.
"Maybe she's blind." Marlo added.
The cyclops growled. "Stupid humans! Humans must be squashy!"
"Can I take a rain check on being squashed?" I offered.
Marlo stepped in, "does next Tuesday sound good?"
I look up at Lucinda, "hey, that's not fair... I didn't know your relatives were allowed to participate in the match," I called out.
Marlo had burst out into the laughter even the cyclops laughed until it realized it was part of the insult. "Hey!"
Lucinda's eyes were twitching but she remained her composure.
I grab my sword (though I still couldn't find a good enough balance) and Marlo got his notebook ready. I would have to provide cover for him. Luckily, I've been working on my shields... sorta.
I held out my left hand and shot my blue dome shield at Marlo providing protection. There was a slot on the dome for the things he drew to go through.
Meanwhile, I was the offense. The cyclops grabbed a huge bronze club that sorta made my sword look like a tooth pick. He walked up and stood about five feet ahead.
