#11 of Against All Odds: Extraction

Arena

[][][]

As Tom stepped out into the arena floor, he could see that the stands were, for one, packed, and second, his opponent was right there in front of him, waiting.&nbsp; The announcer didn't count.&nbsp; "Today's fight," the announcer stated, yelling into a horn, "Is to determine who the lovely Luna of the Moonfighter Clan stays with!&nbsp; On my left, the Shadow Legacy himself, the great Gravismon!"&nbsp; A great cheer erupted through most of the stands.&nbsp; The only ones not cheering were Rena, her older brother and mother, Coyote, Rahne, and the remaining Drifters.&nbsp; "And over here, the _Tamer_," the announcer continued, the crowd now booing at Tom, "Thomas."&nbsp; To be honest, Tom didn't really care.&nbsp; He'd heard worse back on Orion.&nbsp; Tom smiled up at Rena before steeling his expression as he faced Gravismon.&nbsp;

Gravismon smirked at Tom.&nbsp; "You don't know what you're getting into human," he said to Tom.&nbsp; Tom shrugged nonchalantly as he got into his fighting stance.&nbsp; Seeing as he wasn't going to get a reaction from Tom any time before the fight, Gravismon did the same.&nbsp;

Doamon stood up in the stands.&nbsp; "The rules of this match are as follows!" he bellowed out, smirking arrogantly down at Tom.&nbsp; "The first to incapacitate or kill the other is the victor!&nbsp; There shall be no human projectile weapons or Digivolving!&nbsp; Powers are permitted!&nbsp; Let the fight begin!"&nbsp; Doamon sat back down as the crowd roared its approval of the 'rules.'

"Last chance human," Gravis growled.&nbsp; "Give up, and save yourself the embarrassment."&nbsp; Tom just stood there defiantly. &nbsp;Smirking, Gravismon turned to the crowd.&nbsp; "Look at this!&nbsp; This human has no idea what it means to fight me!&nbsp; He thinks he can win!"&nbsp; Whirling back to Tom, he continued.&nbsp; "Any bets as to how long he will last?"&nbsp; Immediately, people started betting against Tom, when a single voice rang out.&nbsp;

"I bet, in the place of a friend, that Thomas Walls will not only live through the match, but will also win.&nbsp; The wager is one hundred gold pieces."&nbsp; Everyone, Tom included, turned to see that it was Ari who had said that.&nbsp; Many sitting next to him scoffed and laughed.&nbsp; Coyote hung his head down, knowing just who had placed that bet.&nbsp; After all, the Mirage Casino in Vegas still owed Ronin five point eight million dollars.&nbsp;

"Hey, if you're all done betting, can we just get this fight started?" asked Tom.&nbsp; "Or are you just going to stand there and let your balls talk for you?"

The entire arena fell silent at the taunt.&nbsp; Gravismon himself was stunned momentarily before he rushed forward in a blind rage.&nbsp; "IF IT'S DEATH YOU WANT, THEN I'LL GLADLY GIVE IT TO YOU!!" Gravis roared as he lunged towards Tom, fist blazing in dark purple flames.&nbsp; Tom ducked under the initial swing and let loose a swift jab into Gravis's gut, making the Renamon not only gasp for air, but also pushed him back several feet.&nbsp; Tom then backed off, hands up in guard.&nbsp; _You'd think he'd be a bit smarter_, Tom thought.&nbsp;

As Gravismon stood back up, Tom went on the offensive.&nbsp; Tom ran at him and jumped, landing a rather fierce kick onto Gravis's arms as the Renamon blocked the attack.&nbsp; Gravis growled and shoved Tom back, making the human stumble.&nbsp;

As Rena sat next to Coyote, the soldier looked down at something, stood up, and walked away.&nbsp; Rena didn't notice and shouted down to Tom, "Come on Tom, I know you can beat him!"&nbsp; Doamon growled down at his daughter.&nbsp; As he did so however, Rahne looked over at the Taomon.&nbsp;

"I have to ask," she said to the older Digimon, "Do you still remember who I am?"&nbsp; Doamon huffed.&nbsp;

"Who in the valley hasn't heard the stories of Rahne of the Faint Smile, and her village of freaks," Doamon responded.&nbsp; "Your people are useless, weak, and unfit to be Renamon."&nbsp; Doamon then turned his head to look at her.&nbsp; "I am surprised though.&nbsp; I thought you weaklings only lived for three hundred years."

Rahne growled.&nbsp; "Those 'weaklings,' Doamon, managed to stop an assault a few days ago.&nbsp; We only just managed to get out alive," she hissed.&nbsp; "And I will do anything to make sure that they are safe."&nbsp;

Doamon huffed again.&nbsp; "Whatever.&nbsp; Humans have left us weak, degraded us to mere pets.&nbsp; I will enjoy watching this match."

As Rahne and Doamon were talking, Tom and Gravismon had gone around the arena and traded a few blows.&nbsp; Gravismon made a crystal shard and flung it at Tom.&nbsp; Tom narrowly dodged it, and stood back up in his fighting stance.&nbsp; "Oh come on now Gravis," Tom taunted.&nbsp; "I know you can do better than that!&nbsp; After all, I'm only just one human, aren't I?"&nbsp; Tom was caught by surprise by a high powered punch from Gravismon into his gut.&nbsp; Tom stumbled back, dodging another punch, but received a swift knee into his hunched over form as a result.&nbsp;

_"You're useless you pathetic piece of brute-bait!" shouted out Zack, kicking Tom in the side, a feral grin on his face.&nbsp; Tom lay on the ground, groaning in pain as several examiners watched, his mother among them.&nbsp; Zack went down to the ground and wrapped his hands around Tom's neck, choking him._

_"Tokyo Twist Tom!&nbsp; Do the Tokyo Twist!" shouted Devin from the sidelines.&nbsp; Tom eyed the asshole on top of him, and did something that no male should ever have happen to him.&nbsp; Tom grabbed his opponent's chest, pinched, and­_-

-Twisted, sending Gravismon into extreme pain.&nbsp; Gravis snarled, and drove a fist into Tom's chest, managing to break two of Tom's ribs.&nbsp; While Tom groaned in pain, Gravis hauled the human up and displayed him to the arena.&nbsp; "Tell me, do you wish for this human to live?" he asked the audience.&nbsp; The crowd roared their disapproval of the idea.&nbsp; Gravis held Tom close to him and hissed into his ear, "After I kill you, I will claim Luna as my mate, and I will destroy and banish those freaks who accompany you!"&nbsp; But as Gravis conjured up a diamond shard, Tom beat him to the punch.&nbsp;

Whipping out his boot knife, Tom slammed the blade into Gravis's neck.&nbsp; "YOU FIRST!" Tom shouted out in fury as he kicked himself away from his foe.&nbsp; Tom landed on his back and rolled to his feet, watching as Gravis stumbled about, trying to take out the four inch blade lodged in his neck.&nbsp; Tom hobbled over to the center of the arena, but before he could do so, Gravismon howled in fury.&nbsp;

"I...WILL NOT...LOSE TO YOU!!&nbsp; I WILL NOT LOSE TO A _HUMAN_!!!!" Gravis roared in fury as he began changing his form.&nbsp; Tom stared at the changing monster.&nbsp; _Damn, this guy is worse than a blue sand addict back on Terra Nova_, Tom thought as he backed away.&nbsp; Gravismon then stopped changing.&nbsp; Now, he was standing at eight foot four, looked like a werewolf, and had spiked fur.&nbsp; Although, in mind of how odd the evolution of this world went, those spines were probably more than just for show.&nbsp;

Rena in the split second that time stood still saw the one thing that could save Tom: Ronin's revolver.&nbsp; She grabbed it from Rahne's lap and tossed it to Tom.&nbsp; "All bets are off Tom!&nbsp; Smoke that bastard!"

Tom grabbed the gun and aimed at the monster Gravis had become.

Tom pulled the trigger.&nbsp;

[][][]

The Smith and Wesson .45 2105 revolver that Tom now held in his hand had quite a history.&nbsp; It was crafted on Earth during the initial year of production, and was purchased by a simple man named Victor Crúz.&nbsp; It would then remain in the family on Earth for the next twenty years, until it was taken to the planet San Madrid.&nbsp; While there, the revolver received a handle made out of the native redwood trees, and a floral engraving on the barrel.&nbsp; It then became the possession of a General de Santiago for the better part of three years.&nbsp; It then became the possession of a certain Voxin, where it then became almost as famous as the Voxin, and the Voxin's rifle.&nbsp;

Milliseconds after Tom pulled the trigger, the hammer struck the back of the massive bullet in the chamber.&nbsp; The primer ignited the propellant, causing the propellant to burn up and produce a massive build-up of gas.&nbsp; The gas separated the bullet from its casing and into the barrel proper.&nbsp; As the bullet entered the barrel, the bullet connected the two rails above and below it, completing a circuit that caused the rails to make a rather strong magnetic field.&nbsp; As the nearly half-inch wide round traveled down the barrel, the magnetic field grew stronger and stronger, up until the bullet left the barrel.&nbsp; And as the bullet left, the gas went down a hole in the barrel, driving a small rod to cycle the next round to line up with the barrel.&nbsp;

The first bullet hit Gravis in the hip, and it damn near tore his leg off.&nbsp; The next round hit him in the chest, just a bit over to the left of the right lung.&nbsp; The third round hit Gravismon in the head, and that deleted the bastard instantly.&nbsp; Tom fell to his knees as Rena jumped down to hug him in glee.&nbsp; "You did it!&nbsp; Youdidityoudidityoudidit!" she squealed out into Tom's ear as she held the Spartan close to her.&nbsp;

Tom smiled at her.&nbsp; "Eh, he wasn't so tough," he commented.&nbsp; "He only broke two ribs."&nbsp; Doamon sat there in the stands, watching in horror as his worst dream came true.&nbsp; Ari was collecting money, and Rahne glanced over at Doamon smugly before trying to look for her mate.&nbsp; However, a commotion down on the floor disturbed her.&nbsp; A group of Renamon, led by Vixinomon, were storming off to Tom's position, and Rena was having none of it.&nbsp; She quickly evolved to her Champion form and stood there protecting Tom.&nbsp; Vixinomon was screaming in anger, screaming about avenging her brothers death, when a single voice stopped them all.&nbsp;

"Ronin, NOOO!!"

And then, there was light.
