In this corner we have...!!! (Pit Fights Open)

[lamberdini]

"Hey kitty-cat, your up! I can't wait to see you become kitty litter!" said the condescending guard as he grabbed a hook and latched it onto Marina's collar, using it to steer him and keep from being grabbed. The hybrid was known to give the guards a beating or two if they let their guard down. He almost escaped a few times too, if it weren't for the tranquilizers that got injected into his neck from his collar when a hybrid tried to escape.

Growling at the guard he stood to his full height of six feet and nine inches and towered over the now cowering guard. "Once I'm through with you, they won't be able to find you unless they search through my kitty litter!" he grinned ruefully just imaging ripping the guards head off and licking his bones clean. He really needed to work on his bloodthirsty factor. The guard just stared at the lion and then he remembered who was the one with the power and jerked Marina to walk forwards and led him to the pits.

Marina could hear the pit coming closer and closer as the roar of the crowd jeered or booed for whatever fight was going on. He began to work himself into a bit of a frenzy. He had no clue who or what his opponent would be. Finally, they neared the entrance for the fighters and the guard shoved him into the arena while managing to unhook himself from Marinas collar. Closing his eyes Marina breathed in and zoned out all the sounds around him and then opened his eyes.

There it was the poor pathetic creature cowering in the corner. He believed this hybrid was part armadillo. Its skin was rough just like the creature. Yeah, had to be armadillo. Looking closely he couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl, but one thing he knew for sure whatever it was it was young. This was always the worst fights for him because he would remember back to his first fight and how young he was. This shouldn't be the fate of the innocent.

BONG! there it was the sign for the fight to start. He was still not sure of the outcome of the fight would be. Would he kill the poor creature or let it live and suffer from another fight? It was still plaguing his mind when Whoof! the air was knocked out of him and he staggered back. The kid had rolled himself into a ball and barreled straight into him. So the kid had guts and proved he wanted to live. So there in decided his fate if he wanted to live Marina would just play around with him and then knock him out to fight another day.

A very handsome man leaned on the rails, watching one of his most prized possessions began to fight, he tipped his glass of wine to the animal in the pit fights. "Oh Marina," he chuckled before shaking his head. He looked around the crowded building, it was packed tonight, men placed bets, gambled, and drunk themselves into passing out. It wasn't the the greatest scenes but it was normal at the Pit Fights.

There were joined cheers as massive amounts of blood sprayed on the floor of the arena. Growls, howls, and snarls came from with in the caged arena. They looked like fierce animals in there, after all this was the Pit Fights, a meeting place where people can watch as hybrids tear each other apart. Gallows of laughter came from a certain section of the building, there was a while dressed man laughing and drinking, with exceptional beautiful women on each arm. There was a kiss there and a kiss here, from the way he was dressed, he looked mighty rich.

Dual green eyes spied on the group before smirking, he pushed off the railing he was leaning against, he handed an employee his glass of wine, he straighten his suit and processed to walk over to the group. He brought out his golden pocket watch, clicking it open and checking the time, it was significant that he timed himself.

He watched as the rich man took a gulp of his alcohol before laughing as he got close. "Mr. Baoch, it's nice to see you enjoying yourself" he said with a pleasant greeting, giving the man a polite bow.

The rich man brought down his drink before grinning, "Laurence Faust!" he grinned "It's been a good night, thanks to you" he raised his drink to him in gratitude.

"Of course" Laurence Faust nodded "I'll take me leave now" he moved away just as the rich man grabbed hold on the lady on his arm forcing her into a tongue chocking kiss. It was disgusting but he rather not get himself involved with something like that.

Laurence walked up to a big fellow who stood guard in the crowd, scanning for any interruptions and fights. He leaned in "Make sure, he pays for everything, do not let him leave without my money"

"Yes sir" The man said with a nod, he stealthily moving from his position and closer to the rich man who obvious wasting his money on bets, women and booze.

Laurence straighten his suit and smirked, he will get his money after all, he was Laurence Oliver Faust, owner of the Pit Fights.

✝✝✝✝✝✝
*If no one has read Laurence's sheet, I imported this scene from his playing sample.

[lamberdini]

DING! DING! The bell rang signaling the end of the fight. The poor soul was going to suffer from bruises and a couple of broken ribs, but at least he was still alive. Marina watched while two guards came in and dragged the boy back to the pit cages. He grimaced, fucking pit cages! The crowd cheered and Marina looked up from the arena and spotted Laurence, that ugly mother fucker was going to get his soon.

Snarling he made his way out of the pits and towards what was his favorite place in the pits, the pub! He didn't have to go right back to his cage because he had a special collar that enabled him to go anywhere in the pits that was under the authority of Laurence, but if he went someone where he wasn't the collar would tranquilize him and he would loose that privilege.

So there he was at the pub and then sighing he burst through the door. Some of the other patrons cheered at him and others ignored him. He didn't care all he wanted to do was get wasted and pass out drunk, maybe have a woman or two or three there. He pictured himself quite the ladies man, but I'm afraid the only women that fell for his pick-up lines were either totally sloshed or unconscious.

Marina set himself there at the bar and ordered a pint of lord knows what and began to peruse the possible victims of his terrible pick-up lines. There was a nice looking serving wench who resembled something of a fox. He grinned cheekily, "Oh foxy, foxy!" The barmaid came passing by him and he stopped her with his bloodied arm, "How about we get out of here so I can tickle you with my 'pickle'" he leered at the hybrid he was practically drooling.

✝✝✝✝✝✝

Laurence grinned as Marina gave him a look before he left the arena. Marina really was one of his favorites, Laurence sighed, he already knew where that hybrid fighter was going, he was going to get drunk and maybe have a little pussy or two. He looked up at the schedule board, Marina's name moving up and the numbers off to the side began to raise. It seems that the bets on Marina were raising.

It also seemed that they audience wanted more of Marina but Laurence wanted very well for another hybrid to come out and fight but she hasn't been feeling well enough to fight. Many thinks she might be pregnant while others think she just might be on a hybrid version "Menopause" but no one really knows what's wrong with her.

Laurence watched as Marina's names appeared in the 4th match, as he was the first match to go, he'll have time to rest up or...go a few rounds with the females. Laurence smiled, he'll retrieve Marina when it's time.

Laurence sighed, as the heat of the arena began to get to him, even being up so far from the rings below, he could still feel the heat. The higher up and people with money were allowed to sit and watch the fights from above. It was kept nicer that the lower levels, waiters, waitress and whores....entertainers of the best kind served the wealthy.

While the lower level residents, weren't ever to touch the women or the cute little boys, Laurence made that loud and clear. He couldn't stand rowdy men that disrespect the women and couldn't fathom the fact that if they were a boy they should be treated even worse than the women. A lot of men even women lost something when they do.

So the lower levers were mostly served by men of their own kind.

A certain young boy had captured the attention of many others and he was preeminently off limits. A boy with short light pink hair and pretty aqua green eyes, soft pale skin and a girly, soft, polite voice, he was a sight to behold.

Some can't believe that he is on the "Preeminently Off Limits" list, as well as a few others. The boy was strictly here to pay off his parents debt, not Laurence but to another person, and that person thought it would be fun to stick him with the Pit Fights. Laurence did not like that man, so just to piss him off, he made sure to keep all hands away from him.

He was a sweet boy really but he really needed to learn how to be a man and punch someone in the face so they can leave him alone. Laurence shook his head before looking at the pits, the next fight started to began. It won't be long before Marina is back in the ring, spurring at much blood the audience can take.

✝✝✝✝✝✝

*Dirty, Dirty, I didn't think this would be long, when I started writing it, it was a bit short so I wanted to add more and...this came out of it :3 lol

[lamberdini]

SPLOOSH! water came crashing down on Marina. He woke up like a cat out of hell. He was hissing and trying to claw at whoever had the audacity to wake him with water. His eyes were narrowed angrily into slits, one could barely see the gold color of his eyes.

"Who in the bloody hell thought it was the smart idea to wake me up!" he roared and then let his head fall into his hands as a massive headache overcame him. Figures he was hungover and he had only been drinking for two hours. The wench he tried to pick up earlier had already left and he couldn't even remember what transpired between them. He wanted to believe he had a nice time, but the shiner he could see in the mirror might prove otherwise.

The bartender walked towards him, "Mary, you got to be back in the pits in 30 minutes because your one of my best customers and prized entertainment I need you to survive," he said as he slapped Marina on the back and tried to push him towards his feet.

Marina tried to swipe at him, but missed and so he decided time to make his way back down toward the pits and get this fight over with so he could rest up, maybe he might get a shot at Laurence or at least heckle him a bit.

SPOILER: Click to show

Much, later when everyone would be asleep would Mary take the time to sneak off and try and join with the rebels.

[lamberdini]

As Marina neared the entrance to the pit ring he looked towards the higher levels and saw that fucker Laurence there sitting like he owned the world. Well he would just see about that. He knew had to sneak out and had every intention of doing so tonight. If he ever figured out where Laurence slept he wouldn't have to worry about ever coming back to this place, but Laurence had the means to keep him here and that was the only thing that kept him from leaving this place for good.

Growling and hissing at the guard trying to prod him into the ring he made sure to lock eyes with Laurence and grinned ruefully at him while giving him the bird, "mother fucker," he grumbled under his breath and once again he was thrust into the ring. He wish they could try and clean it up more, maybe even give him more of an entrance.

He gave his customary roar before the fight and then looked at the poor bastard going to fight him. It was something he couldn't describe. He was sure he had never seen an animal like that! Hell! He had a nagging suspicion what this fucker was. Holy mother of shitholes, that fucker was, he could not believe it, a mother freaking living breathing platypus. What in the hell, who thought this was an awesome idea? He was vaguely sure he remembered that those things had some type of poison thing going on. Was someone trying to get him killed? He looked absolutely dumbfounded.

[treyxkoren]

✝✝✝✝✝✝

Laurence sat on the thick railings, his back on a sturdy post. In one hand had a nice wine glass filled with red velvet bubbly, he smirked at his favorite Marina stalked into the pits. He enjoyed his pit fights the most. Once the match started, Laurence, slowly brought out his gold pocket watch, he silently cursed he thought he would have enough time to watch the match before meeting up with a certain people.

His was first to meet with Noah's cliental, the sweet pink hair boy should be done in 2 months time. After that, he sighed, after that he was so meet someone who could hold him by the balls.

He tipped his glass to Marina and then to the score board before moving into the crowd. Sipping the last of the contents, he swiftly placed the glass on cart.

He started the trek down stairs, smiling once or twice to fellows that raised the their beer jugs. He gave a light pat on Noah's shoulder as her walked by, the boy gave a quick look who smiled when he realized that it was Mr. Faust, that touched him and not some sleazy man.

Mr. Faust might run the Pit Fights but he was always kind to Noah, that he viewed Mr. Faust in a different light than everyone else. And he's sure that Mr. Faust would do it again if he was to be put back in this situation.

The burette walked to the back of the building, he made a little jog as he got closer to the door in the back. He nodded to the men that were guarding the door, there weren't many lights in that area, Laurence looked at the lights and gave a light shake of his head. He had told his staff here that he wanted the light replaced or they'll be having some people sneaking in and out without notice.

While putting on some black fitted gloves, he opened the door to the next room. The building itself had many rooms, hallways and area were all made of wood, for all purpose for everything to burn. If there were such an extreme, he will burn down the arena and he doesn't care who is still inside. They'll all get 1 warning, if that warning wasn't spread to everyone then that sucks for them.

Even his favorite Marina, if he weren't to get out then...he wasn't worth saving.

He cracked his knuckles and neck before having the inner guards open the door for him, he grinned as he walked in. The room had no foundation just dirt, there was a lose lamp light that hung for the ceiling two beefy men sat in the corners of the medium sized room.

The men there weren't of any of importance, one was the man that held Noah's contract in his hands and the other was a bit of insurance for the other man. Laurence gave a pleasant smile "Mr. Cray you wanted to talk about something?"

Mr. Cray, a man with brunette to black hair with white strikes. He was a hefty fat man with thick arm mussels, he wasn't someone that you would like to meet. An unruly business man, that is a disgrace to their tradition of bribes and under-handed business. He stood there with his body guard behind him as he blew some smoke from his pipe.

Mr. Cray smirked "I was just checking up on my profit." he blew out more smoke "And how is he doing?" He asked.

Laurence shrugged "He's doing very well, he's making up the money he owes you"

Mr.Cray smirked and chuckled, "I don't think he is"

Laurence looked at him, strangely he knew something was up, Mr.Clay looked to relaxed in his care. "What do you mean?'

Mr.Cray shook his head "Well, it seems that he'll be owing more than just $300, I think $500 would suffice." he looked down his nose at Laurence.

"And how did his debt raise to $500?" Laurence asked, he didn't want to just end it there, he wanted to know more....because this man was pissing him off.

"Ah, well let's just say that his parents loaned more money from me and well" he shook his head with a smile on his face. "That means more money the boy has to work for. Oh and that reminds me, his parents disgraced me and caused me some "damages" so that means....a lot more than I asked for right?" he nodded as he looked over at his body guard. "So I guess that makes it....$700?"

Laurence growled "If he owes you $700, he would be here for a lot longer than he is intended and he doesn't need that." he shook his head, he didn't want Noah to stay here any longer than he had to. From the looks of up, he would either be working until he's 20 or he'll have to sell his body. Laurence mentally shrugged at the thought, he did not want it to come to that.

Mr.Cray grinned "That's the idea!" he laughed "He'll be working here for a long time! Or!" he looked at Laurence with a smirk "He can sell his body to get me my money back."

"No" Laurence said sternly.

Mr.Cray smiled "I knew you'd say that, that's why I'm proposing for a different idea." he stood up straight and his posture became business-like. "Give him to me and he won't have to sell his body to some...stranger and he won't have to be working here...with hybrids" he spat. There was a pause before he looked at Laurence again "So, do we have a deal?"

"And what does his parents know about this?"

"Know about this?" Mr.Cray laughed "They were the ones that suggested it! They can't afford to pay off any debt, they offered their son to me willingly. For everything that they owe me. I, of course, approved the idea but when I don't get what I want..." he glared at Laurence "There will be hell to pay"

Laurence spared a look away, he eyed the boys in the corners as they tensed at the situation, they sense that something is going to happen and they will have to protect their boss. He shook his head "You came to me with this...idea? He owed you only $300, then you upped the price to $500 and now he owes you $700? Not only that, you want to buy him?" he shook his head for the last time before staring at Mr.Cray.

"You do realized that you are in my territory and no amount of money or reputation will protect you from me" Mr.Cray tensed at the words. "I don't care how much his parents owe you but I will tell you one thing and you better commit it to memory" he walked up to Mr.Cray. "Listen well and don't ever try to undermined me" he threaten and then for a slight second there was no movement, silence filled the room until Laurence cocked his right hand back and punched Mr.Cray in the face.

Mr.Cray cried out as he big fisted hand hit squarely between the eyes. His body guard, who would most likely be fired, reacted slow and didn't bring out his gun before it was too late. "I will not be selling that boy to you. He is, as of right now, under my protection" Laurence spat on Mr.Cray.

Bang!

Laurence staggered back as he easily dodge the bullet from the body guard's gun. He gave the man an "unbelievable" look before quickly stepping forward and took a few quick jabs to the man's stomach, chest and chin. An upper cut landed the body guard on the ground with his employer, the gun landing away from the body guard.

"It's best to tell the parents that their little boy won't be coming home with a bag full of money. Dispose of them for all I care" he glared down "And if I see or hear of you trying to hustle this boy, you will have to answer to me and I connections in all the right places"

He jutted to the guys in the corners, who were already half out their seats. "Get them out of here." he turned and left them. "Wait" he paused before he left "Make sure you punish them first" he smirked "Good night, gentlemen"

And now it's off to meet, a certain Metalman about some bids.

✝✝✝✝✝✝

*Yea go ahead, Laurence probably won't even know that he snuck off. I made it long to make up for the late reply :3

[cerasri]

Fingers drumming idly against his thigh, Xerxes narrowed his eyes at the ceiling, ignoring the raucous clamor of the crowd rioting around him as Marina faced off against a platypus. This was a fight just like any other, and the metal-man had no doubts that the Lion would win.

He’d won fights like this before and well, there was a reason Xerxes always placed his bets on the hulking hybrid.

Scarred or not, Marina was good at what he did. Watching the hybrids in the ring, Xerxes lips quirked and he bit back a yawn, hand rising to wave airily at his face in an attempt to rid himself of the stench that always permeated the rings. The only time he’d bet against Marina was when the Lion faced against Adelaide.

The old hybrid might be a rabbit, but it was a well known fact that the Rabbit hybrid was perhaps one of the best in the rings.

Still, as interesting as the fight was-no doubt the platypus would be dead soon-Xerxes couldn’t help but frown, his eyes darting off to the sides to glance at the doors, the seat next to him still suspiciously empty despite the reserved tag sitting stationary on the wooden seat.

Laurence was late.

That was…new. Of course, Xerxes wasn’t worried.

Whether the human died or not, the metal-man didn’t really care one way or another.

He just didn’t like to be kept waiting.

Particularly when it involved bets.

Bets that Xerxes had made and money that he wasn’t getting.

Brows furrowing slightly, the metal man moved his hand back to his thigh, fingers curling around the brown fabric of his slacks. The informant was dressed simply today- lacking his usual ever present trench coat in favor of a simple three piece suit, drab a color as it was. Today was a day he didn’t exactly feel like being noticed, though he had no doubts that the owner of the Pit Rings would be able to spot him.

Laurence might seem like a bumbling muscle head but Xerxes was well aware that the man was dangerous to mess with-not that it stopped Xerxes from baiting him. Still, even with the blonde wig and the concealer covering his scar, Xerxes knew that Laurence would spot him.

That is, if the man arrived.

It had already been fifteen minutes past the time they were to meet and as the drunken man on his occupied side gave a half garbled whoop of excitement, Xerxes lips twitched in annoyance.

Really.

Laurence had better hurry up soon.

Especially if he didn’t want a few of his patrons to die, the metal man thought with a wry smile as he directed a dangerous leer towards the drunken man to his right. Xerxes never did like people bumping into him.

Oh yes.

Laurence had better hurry up. And quickly.

Xerxes didn’t like to be kept waiting.

[lamberdini]

Warning: Slight GORE

Marina clenched his fists and then uncurled them, his nails had grown longer and where more stiletto-like. He began to prowl back and forth as he looked at the platypus to make his move. The end of Marina's tail began to twitch from side to side and the spikes surrounding it began to catch the little light that was let into the pit fight.

The platypus finally made his move, he wasn't a thinker this one and probably never been in a fight like the one Marina was about to show him. The hybrid went straight at Marina not thinking of anything. Marina's eyes widened as he realized this hybrid had no civility about him, he was all the way feral. Only the truly horrible could have made this hybrid as deranged looking as he was. The tuft of his hair was coarse and very broken off looking, he had blisters all over his skin and his eyes were an enraged brown.

Marina jumped back into time to miss being stuck by the deformed hands forming only three fingers with nails that looked terrifying. This hybrid had Marina on edge and he knew he needed to release him from its misery, only he was unsure how he was going to get in close enough. Marina looked skeptically up towards the bleachers where he knew Laurence would be and he gave a look like you know this fucker is crazy right.

He jumped back and landed in a crouch position, now was not the time for idleness, but good lord what in the hell happened to him? Well whatever it was the end of his road as he again went to attack Marina, who grinned ruefully as the hybrid did exactly what he wanted and Marina whipped his tail around lodging it right into the throat of the platypus. Blood began spurting out of the hybrid's throat but he still was trying to sink his fingers into Marina. With his tail still lodged into the throat of the platypus Marina swished it to the side knocking the hybrid into the wall of the pit repeatedly until chunks of his brains and skull were covering the floor of the pit and the wall.

The crowd roared in triumph and several sounds of vomiting could be heard from the less sturdy of the spectators. Marina roared and made his way out towards the pub, he needed a drink after that and maybe hundred thousand more.

[treyxkoren]

✝✝✝✝✝✝

Laurence creaked his neck as he was handed a clean shirt and jacket, just being in their presence made him feel dirty and he knew how it felt to be dirty.

He checked his gold pocket watch, "Tsk" he sucked his teeth, he was running late with his meeting with Xerxes. He could careless about other meetings but he made sure to keep his meetings with the metalman to be on time.

Walking back inside the building, he heard roars and cheers, he sighed again, it seems he missed Marina's fight. He wanted to watch the fight while he was meeting Xerxes.

Maybe the other hybrids can have a better feat.

He stopped to looked around the area and found Noah cleaning tables that were empty, he walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He looked up in surprise, Laurence gave a nod "Stop by my office before you go"

"Um...yea sure" Noah said with a shy voice.

Laurence sighed, turning around he saw a certain blond man give his table partner a dangerous leer, he didn't want to deal with metalman.
