Freakshow Fighting
Freakshow Fighting
Abandoned buildings stand as mute testimony to the economic doldrums of North East Philadelphia. Near the Erie-Torresdale Station of the El is a warehouse that rises several stories with blown out windows and a used car lot just before it. But on any random Saturday just a few hours after midnight it becomes a crumbling coliseum for the latest incarnation of the gladiatorial arena to entertain the idle rich and utterly bored of the newest version of the Roman Empire: the United States of America.
Illegal blood sports are nothing new in America but for those tired of watching cock and dog fights the newest sport is evil in its brutality as men and women fight till one is a bloody mess or even dead according to the condition or even mood of the victor. In many of these televised bouts, over secret pirate internet and cable feeds, the fights are extremely one sided at the "Tower of No Pity" with recruits of mutants and finds of monsters to unleash on unsuspecting humans. The victims are most often homeless people plucked off the streets and promised drugs, food or a lot of other things if they can survive a night in a house of horror; empty promises at best.
Dim lights for the cameras to see and whatever filters in from the street lamps on Torresdale Avenue are all the illumination provided. Human trash stumble about in the near dark looking for a place to hide out till morning, hoping the darkness will conceal them from the hunters with a brave/foolish/crazy few hoping to ambush a few hunters and take them down with them to their doom as they are shoved off their mortal coil into the eternally long cold night. The night vision cameras betray them to both the viewing audience who pay in upwards of a billion dollars American for the feed as well as some of the hunters.
Some of the hunters are human mutants with natural super human abilities that help in combat, including low level soldiers of both the Italian and Russian Mafias who run the show joint if covertly and even then there is often friction just beneath the surface. Others are normal humans with fancy and not so fancy equipment they think gives them an edge.
The Degrader falls into the tool user category; he thinks he has a chance to become a made man with an armored costume that looks like it was made from food graters. The higher ups of both camps think he's a fool, a psychopath or worse: both. The promise of getting what he wants keeps him going as the promoters spotlight him as a kind of litmus test as to gets a prize at the end of the show.
Most of the audience is in on the joke that for all his bravado the Degrader is just another freak in the show. He has his fans because of how brutally he kills people and monsters alike. And the Freakshow has more than its share of monsters.
Day or night there are places in Philadelphia where only the foolish and the suicidal tarry. Many are the places that advertise as clinical trials who seek the financially destitute thinking few will miss them. All such places are working to perfect biological weapons and/or super soldier serums for their countries, which does not automatically mean the US and nations friendly to this nation.
Escaped survivors of these experiments are lucky to remember even a fraction of their former lives even as they deal wit abilities and even new physiques beyond the ken of most of humanity. Freaks like these populate these modern day dungeons for enough food to live on and the chance of a normal life even it that "life" is through the internet. They lurk in geek forums and chat rooms when not participating in the sick games of their landlord bosses.
One of these monsters, a seven and a half foot wolf-bear in black jeans shorts and a Furcadia t-shirt, who now goes by the name of Ogrrr is only really sure of the fact that before he became the anthropomorphic amphicyon he is now he was into the furry scene and even created something like he is now as a persona. For now at least he has to contend with stares and jeers. Degrader especially has vowed to test the Ogrrr tonight and by test he means kill.
Before he climbs the ladder into the basement of the tower Ogrrr checks the leader boards on who is out tonight. Most of what he finds is expected; odds on how fast Degrader will kill him, odds on who will get the most kills tonight; but one note surprises him in that Natasha "Goldilocks" Romanov is the arena as hunter and prey. What that infers is that Natasha will be let loose naked with only a knife to defend herself; raping her is an option for bonus points before killing.
Natasha knows very little English and is over here illegally as a sex doll as she is a beautiful natural blonde Russian. Her pimp is already tired of her and has apparently decided to get some more entertainment from her demise as he puts an indicator on her in the message boards that she is free for the fucking. Ogrrr was in a pirate porno with her once doing something akin to a mash up of the old fairy tales of Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
In fact there is an open letter to Ogrrr on the forum promising Natasha as his personal sex slave if he can find her and protect her through the night. Smirking to himself Ogrrr decides to take up the challenge as he climbs the ladder. The stench of death from the charnel pit of bodies assaults his sensitive nose in greeting as a dozen or more laser sites almost polka dot his black fur.
There is just enough light for him to see about twenty Russians with AK-47s ready to plug him as he smiles. He whispers "Showtime!" as kicks up dead bodies to shield him from the hail of bullets and then goes after one of the shooters. Charging at full speed he slams one guy into the wall so hard his blood and brains paint a smear as the body slides on down.
Another guy is grabbed by the monster and tossed at a crowd of his buddies who pump his body full of lead in an attempt to dissuade the trajectory and ultimately fail as the corpse topples the lot of them. The next victim gets a knee to the groin before he gets an elbow to snap his neck. Now more guys are scoring hits but it's as if his fur acts like a bullet proof vest for the good it does them.
One gunner becomes the ball in a round of body slam bowling dying as he trips up a cluster of wanna-be gangsters. Unbeknownst to him in a secret room in the Turf Club in the Roosevelt Mall on Cottman Avenue there's a guy counting his money from all the bets he's winning. Sean Edgar Kelly was a project manager in the lab where Ogrrr was made so he has an idea what the beast is capable of and thus the reason he placed his bets where he did.
Mister Sick as he is known in certain circles is a supplier of monsters to underground arenas like this. Rumor has flying hither and yon from those that do not know him and he does little to dispel for his own purposes speculate wildly as to how Mister Sick is able to provide so many monsters but the truth is that through his normal job he is connected to a network of black programs in the United States and when they have an experiment that proves to be an uncontrollable monster Mister Sick gets an email or a phone call and he makes arrangements for that creature to be released so other can catch it for their arenas, usually with a minimum of casualties in the interim. Getting to watch these creatures in action for free is just one of the perks he enjoys as part of his end of the business.
Back in the Tower of No Pity the original Mafiya hopefuls all been brutally murdered in self defense and now Ivan Stalin the Russian Terminator has found Ogrrr on the stairs to the first floor. Mister Sick joins in the betting with a $1K wager that simply states that Ogrrr will defeat Ivan Stalin. Ivan is a former Soviet Super Soldier now making his living as a hitman.
As a test of his strength and endurance Ivan would kill bears with his bare hands in the Russian wilderness. But none of those bears were as smart as an average human or could reason like a human being. Despite his appearance Ogrrr is still very much human where it counts.
Ivan tries to bear hug Ogrrr hard enough to break his spine but Ogrr uses his position to box Ivan's ears, gouge his eyes and then head butt his way to freedom. Ogrrr then shoves Ivan down the stairs and gets the satisfyingly crunchy sound of a fatal neck break. Back at the Turf Club Mister Sick is grinning as he sees a return on his investment as others are stunned at how easily the hybrid could knock off the former Communist hero.
Ogrr almost turns a corner when he hears Degrader and some of his sycophants among the Italians whom Degrader thinks are his friends but make fun of him behind his back. Hiding in the shadows Ogrrr lets five of his six assigned flunkes and Degrader himself go past him down to the basement as Degrader calls him out. The last straggler gets a length of rusty chain wrapped around his neck and yanked back into the shadows.
Hidden infrared cameras capture the bloody scene for posterity as the youngest son of Don Marconi has his head crushed and left in the shadows as Ogrrr moves on. Thirteen bodies their faces shredded beyond all recognition lay in strangely artistic patterns on the factory floor near the hole that leads to the basement. In fact when he looks down, Ogrrr can see Degrader and some of his thugs as he moves on as stealthily as he can.
The elevator has not worked in years but for someone as large as Ogrrr climbing up the shaft can be a stealthy means to travel from floor to floor. Even in the central monitoring station that broadcasts the spectacle Ogrrr goes off the grid when he enters the shaft. And the fact that they can't track his movement concerns the higher ups who order Degrader out of the basement when Ogrrr disappears from their computer displays.
Lurking in the elevator shaft above him when he enters is a psychotic mutant human known as the Mayfair Mangler. He looks like a tall and lanky human who can elongate himself to an obscene degree. The Tower is a ways out his usual hunting ground as he strangles and mangles student bodies in Mayfair but he gladly uses his abilities here and does his best to remain out of sight.
Mayfair Mangler has a deficit that necessitates h engage in cannibalism as his primary diet. Ogrrr garners his attention when he enters the elevator but even if his hunger gnaws at him near constantly, the Mangler knows when to let be that which could kill him. However, he does uses cell to drop a dime in Ogrrr.
"What now, Mangler?" Romeo Vespucci growls from his station monitoring the going on in the Tower. "One of the freaks is off the grid..."
"You wouldn't be talking about Ogrrr would you?" Mangler retorts in a cocky tone. "He's in the shaft below me."
"What floor is he on?" Romeo demands to know. "Degrader wants to shred him."
"He's between the first and second floors now," Mangler reports. "I can call in when he goes into my shaft but I'm not taking him on."
"Just make sure the monster is ignorant of your presence so you can call in," Romeo warns then makes another call.
"Spider here," a voice answers in a sinister tone, "go ahead, Romeo, I'm listening."
"Ogrrr is headed your way," Romeo reports, "He'll be coming through the elevator shaft; teach him a lesson."
"Is he deserving of a boneyard certificate?" Vincenzo "The Spider" Vespucci, a Mafia soldier who should be dead but lives on as a vampire assassin asks of his fellow family member among the living.
"Nothing so extreme, gramps," Romeo responds mockingly as he knows the vampire hates the tern even as he demands the respect as an elder as old as he says, "Just slap him around to remind him that it's not nice to go off the grid and concern his betters."
"Gotcha," Spider says simply before ending the call.
The Spider has set himself up on the third floor with people caught in his web, the making of which is part of suite of mutant abilities he had while among the living that now serves him equally well in death. In fact his nickname spawns from these abilities more out of fear than any modicum of respect. He grew strong in the Mafia, a Predator among predators and the fact he is now a member of the undead has increased this fear as few dare to cross him.
Becoming a vampire only accelerated his discovery of the glass ceiling with in the web. Like a lot of human society metahumans are viewed with suspicion and fear by the higher ups of the various Mafia familiars. The Spider is without a doubt the Vespucci family's number one killer in house but that's all he'll ever be as he'll never make Capo because he isn't human.
.
Vincenzo is looking for Ogrrr now as he thinks of his predicament and seethes in anger because of it. And just like the schoolyard bully that every Made Man is at heart, the Spider is looking for someone to take out his frustrations on. Unfortunately for the Spider, the Ogrrr is no freak a bully can just wail on without consequence; freaks like Ogrrr can and will fight back.
The initial attack is a rousing success as the Spider yanks Ogrrr him fall prone on the floor. But Spider thinks he dazed the monster; a fallacy Ogrrr encourages as it gives Spider a false sense of security. When Spider comes to put the bite on Ogrrr he gets a nasty Ogrrr grabs his leg and trips him.
Spider transforms into a cloud of smoke to get away from Ogrrr. He seeps into the cracks in the masonry as Ogrrr flips him off. It's then that Natasha literally falls into his arms.
Natasha was running from Degrader when she tripped and fell into a hole in the floor. Her knife broke on Degrader's armor so she is truly helpless just like the jerk likes it. One of the remaining three mooks, Natasha killed one and the other let the wrong word slip in front of Degrader so he become a gruesome cinekill of the evening even as his buddies snicker of his doom, runs down the stairs without looking to see where Ogrrr and so becomes the wolf-bear's next victim as he gets tossed out of the building and gets impaled on a short flag pole, the viewing audience gets a play of Joey Scarbury's "Greatest American Hero" as all this is happening as a kind of bitter and ironic twist.
A lot of creaking and a cascade of dust telegraphs the fact that the floor is about to give out just above him as Ogrrr braces for impact and shields Natasha from the storm of debris as the ceiling collapses above them. Degrader has thought to knock Ogrrr down with this attack and is thoroughly dismayed and outraged when it does not. In fact it costs him his other two flunkies as Ogrrr takes out the one with a big splash wrestling him move that squashes him under the Ogrrr's weight and the other is made into a living missile that knocks Degrader through a hole in the floor to cushion Degrader's fall on the second floor.
Ogrrr picks up Natasha and jumps on top of Degrader. Natasha wraps herself around Ogrrr and braces for impact. Degrader is still recovering when the full weight of the two of them comes crashing down on his ribcage.
The initial fall almost broke Degrader's back then having Ogrrr jump on top of him from the floor causes his ribcage to collapse. As if to add injury to insult the shock of the landing opens up another hole below them that causes all three of them to fall not only through the second floor but through the existing hole in the floor to the basement below. The fact that Degrader becomes a pancake with blood syrup should surprise nobody as a hunting Ogrrr crawls out of the basement and into Degrader's Winnebago to allow his body to recover from his injuries, which is fairly quickly with his mutations.
Natasha helps him strip and lays with him in bed as he breathes heavily. To help the wolf-bear relax Natasha licks at his scrotum and fingers herself. Ogrrr's body responds by having his penis peak out of his sheathe.
Fellatio follows as Natasha understands all too well she is now the monster's prize and toy. She gets his tool ready for her box as a hidden camera clicks on. High above them the Tower Spider watches through a sniper scope through strategically placed windows.
Streaming video of Natasha sucking on Ogrrr's cock to get it hard enough to penetrate her folds before impaling herself on his shaft goes out on a private porn site dedicated to bestiality, especially when the beast is something like Ogrrr, called "Beauty and the Beast" that those who runs the fights keep afloat to steal credit card numbers. RomeoVespucci is masturbating as he watches the feed to make sure it streams properly. Spider gets an itch too, just that his is in his hand and not in his crotch.
Ogrrr licks and nibbles at Natasha's nips as she rides him which causes both of them to moan in pleasure. Natasha has fucked Ogrrr before and knows she is safe as long as he knows danger is coming but a sniper like Spider strikes without warning and since he is dead his body doesn't twitch with nerves to spoil his shot as he watches Ogrrr with envy.
The previous order to teach the freak a lesson has yet to be rescinded as Spider watches the monster and the girl fuck in order to line up his shot. Others are getting off watching the fucking but Spider gets off on killing people. As woman and monster lat in the afterglow Spider takes his shot.
Nobody hears the shot but the result cannot be denied as Natasha blood and brains stain the sheets. Spider is celebrating as the first rays of dawn herald the coming of the morning. The sun's ray's end up assassinating the assassin as the Mangler flings him out a blown window unexpectedly; the Mangler himself was having a climax when Spider killed Natasha and so decided to punish the vampire as the full face of the sun turns him to ash.
Ogrrr adds Natasha's body to the charnel pit before going back to the RV. He drives off just put some distance from himself and the tower. He has no real destination in mind but he knows he wants away from the Tower of No Pity.
