“Time to wake up darling.”
Apocalymon shot a sharp jolt of electricity coursed through her veins bringing her back from unconsciousness. Mimi looked up at his grinning face and she began to cry. She had prayed that everything was a nightmare and that she would wake up in her soft bed. However this was reality and there was no escaping that. Apocalymon grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the ground. He grinned at her and licked her face. Mimi was so disgusted that she felt that she might pass out again. Apocalymon dragged her across the cave causing gashes all across her legs. He waved his hand and the other two girls floated along. Sora didn’t need to lift her head to figure out where they were going. She sighed things were only about to get worse. They had reached their destination and Apocalymon threw them into the ground. They were in the pit.
“Well ladies I commend you three for lasting this long. I thought you would all have begged for death hours ago. I have to say despite living almost every fantasy I have conceived over the past 13 years I consider myself disappointed. I don’t know why but this somehow feels hollow as though I succeeded on the first try. I believe that the hunt was better then the catch. It is that reason that I am offering one of you a chance at freedom.”
The three girls looked up in shock. This couldn’t be true. One of them would have a chance a freedom? But what would be the cost? Would they have to sleep with him? Kari and Sora glared over at Mimi. They may have been unwilling before but they would now do anything to escape the torment that they had just endured. Apocalymon could feel their anger and desperation. It filled him with joy and malice.
“As I said this gift will only be offered to one of you. Your freedom will be secured in the simplest manner possible, physical combat. All you have to do is knock each other out. The last woman standing goes free. Begin!”
The girls froze in their tracks. They couldn’t possibly fight each other. They were friends no more then that they were sisters. They had been through unspeakable horrors together and came out strong every time. They could never harm each other no matter what. However one person didn’t feel the same way. Mimi came charging over to Kari tackling her to the ground. Kari didn’t even have time to react before Mimi delivered a hard shot straight to her face. Mimi wrapped her hands around Kari’s neck and began squeezing the life out of her. Kari could see the anger in Mimi’s eyes.
“Just go to sleep bitch I am not staying here any longer!” Mimi said softly.
Kari could feel the world disappearing around her. She could feel herself fading. Her senses became more aware. She could feel the bruises and blisters all over her body. She had endured so much she would not stand for it anymore. Kari mustered all of her strength and punched Mimi hard in the stomach. Mimi had the wind knocked out of her and she fell to the ground. Kari got up and gave Mimi a hard kick to the face.
“It hurts doesn’t it? Well get used to it princess because well you were living it up we were being tortured and humiliated.” Kari said coldly.
Mimi rose to her knees and spit out blood.
“Now you know how I’ve felt all of these years you fucking cunt.” Mimi responded.
Mimi rose up and began punching Kari rapidly. Mimi grabbed Kari’s hair and ripped it out violently. Sora could not stand to watch her closest friend be beaten. She charged over and put Mimi in a tight full nelson. Kari glared at Mimi and began beating her in the face with all of her fury. Her blows became more violent and devastating. Kari gave Mimi a hard hammer fist knocking her out cold. Mimi’s body fell gently to the ground. Kari and Sora glared at each other. They both knew that only one of them would walk out of that pit.
“Let’s at least fight with honor.” Sora said with an outstretched hand of friendship.
“No.” Kari replied.
Kari grabbed Sora’s wrist and flipped it over. She palmed Sora’s elbow hard causing an ear splitting shriek.
“Yeah Tai taught me a few moves over the years. Did you honestly think I was going to let you win?” Kari said coldly tightening her grip.
Sora grunted in pain with tears streaming from her face.
“Remember your promise to me.” Sora said softly.
Kari was shocked at her words. Soft tears rolled down her cheek. Kari’s grip loosened and Sora capitalized on it. She twisted out of the grip and uppercut Kari in the jaw. Kari fell down and Sora jumped on top of her. The two rolled around wrestling each other with all of their strength and will. Apocalymon smiled and chuckled to himself. Mere hours ago they were making love and now they were trying to kill each other. The two were close all they needed was a final push.
The two fighters rose to their feet. Sora punched Kari back farther and farther. She had used the strength she gained from constantly using her wrists and arms for her work. Kari had spent her time in a classroom and Tai’s instruction was very limited. Kari’s back was finally pushed against the wall. Sora slammed Kari’s head off of the wall knocking her to her hands and feet. Sora knew that it was her chance to make a move. Sora jumped on Kari’s back and leaped out of the pit. She made a sprint for the cave entrance. Apocalymon’s eyes widened in fear and shock. He never knew that she had it in her. He sent his minions to cut her off. To Sora none of this mattered. She cared not for the monsters attempting to flank her. She cared not for the demon at her back or for those two traitors in the pit. She hated them all. In an instant everything changed. Something was wrong a horrible wave of sickness rolled through her. Her body felt hot and cold at the same time. She fell to her knees and began throwing up. She looked at her skin and a horrible blackness began coursing through her veins turning her skin darker. Apocalymon smiled widely. It had begun. Sora began to cry and scream in pain.
“Someone please help me!” Sora screamed.
