Slayer's Redemption

Chapter 3

Approval

Warm. I felt so warm. I awoke to the sound of running water. For some reason, I was in a bed covered by silk bed sheets.

After trying to think of what was going on, I remembered last night. I couldn't believe what's happened within the last day.

I was attacked twice, kidnapped, and then slept with a demon woman after the most intense sex I've ever had. And she was the one who caused all this no less.

I lay under the silk covers, wondering what was going to happen to me next. The water stopped; then I heard bare footsteps. I looked over to my right to find Lilithmon standing in a doorway drying her hair with a towel, still nude.

"Morning, pet." Okay, this time, I wasn't letting that slide.

"Why do you call me that? I have a name."

She just continued drying her hair. "Hmm, yes, Tory I believe it was? Tory Whells?"

I looked up at the ceiling. "Yeah, that's my name. Something wrong with that?" I heard a giggle.

"That name will not do. Too different, too...."

"Human?"

She looked at me, almost glaring. She walked over to the bed and sat down next to me.

"I will think of a new name for you..." she threw the towel over my face "while you clean yourself."

I took the hint and stood up after tossing the towel aside. I felt rather embarrassed walking around her in the nude, but she obviously didn't feel the same.

I started gathering my clothes, but Lilithmon took them from me. "I took the liberty of having new attire brought up for you. They are on the sink." She said pointing to the bathroom.

I entered the bathroom finding that it was rather nice. A fairly large tub with a showerhead, a sink with a mirror, and a full body mirror next to that.

The clothes were on the sink like she said, but I skipped them for now. My target was the tub.

I stepped into the tub, feeling somewhat smaller from the large size of it. I turned on the water and kept turning up the temp, trying to find the hottest I could stand. I was surprised when the knob wouldn't go any further.

"Okay, this doesn't feel that hot." I turned on the showerhead just as Lilithmon came in and walked over to the tub.

"Something wroAAH!" she yelped as she touched my arm, jumping away as if she got shocked. "By the sovereign, how can you stand that?"

I looked to her then the showerhead. "What? It's not that hot, is it?" I asked, receiving a rather confused look. I could tell by the expression on her face, it was really hot.

"My dear, that water is hot enough to burn, yet..." she watched as the water flowed over my skin harmlessly. "You have changed much since yesterday."

She put her hand out to touch my arm again, but pulled away when she felt the heat again. I thought it was rather funny, I could handle something she couldn't.

"Okay, well, I need to finish." I said holding a bar of soap from a nearby shelf. She gave me one last look, then left. There were no further interruptions during my shower.

After I finished scrubbing myself clean, I stepped out of the tub. I grabbed a towel off a rack to dry myself, yet the water had already evaporated off. "Huh, weird."

I walked back over to the sink and finally looked at the clothes Lilithmon had made for me. There were loose fitting black jeans, a button up long-sleeved shirt, a cloak, and a pair of black shorts.

"Damn emos." I laughed as I got dressed. As I walked out into the bedroom, I saw Lilithmon garbed in her flowing purple dress talking to Stingmon.

"Yes, mistress. Every thing is in order for his initiation." He said as he bowed.

"Initiation? What, it takes more than last night to become a royal pet?" I asked sarcastically. Lilithmon cast me an amused look while Stingmon seemed agitated by my presence.

"My dear, you must first prove your strength, and then your loyalty to me. Only then may you be mine." She said as she walked over and placed a gloved hand to my cheek. I brought my hand up and held it over hers.

We stood like that for only a few seconds until Stingmon cleared his throat (I think it's his throat). "Mistress, the test?" he gestured toward the door. Lilithmon sighed and pulled her hand away then pushed me towards the door.

I looked to Stingmon, "Well, lead the way." I said. He hesitated, but left through the door with me close behind.

Once we were out of earshot, Stingmon stopped and turned. "Listen, human. If you know your place, you will treat Mistress with the utmost respect. Do not act as if you have any favor with her, for you do not." He looked like he was mad, but the insect-like face was hard to read.

Then it hit me. "Oh, this is rich. You have a crush on Lilithmon? The servant has fallen in love with the master? Ahahahahaha" SMACK! "Ow." He had started shaking after my little outburst, then full out punched me.

"You will not tell a mon about this, or I will..."

"Will what? Kill me? She'd delete you herself if you did."

Even through that featureless face, I could tell he was seething, but he calmed down. "Fine, we shall see who is the best for the mistress. I have little faith in your ability to survive the coming tests."

I slowly got back on my feet and dusted myself off. Great, now I have competition.

I followed him as he continued leading me to the 'test', but at a distance. Eventually we stopped in front of a set of very large stone doors.

"Now begins your end, human." He said as the doors started opening slowly. I had to shield my eyes as I caught my first glimpse of the digital sun. After my eyes adjusted, I saw that what lay ahead was an....arena?

I was about to ask a question, when I was roughly shoved forward onto my knees. "Hey! What's the big" SLAM! "idea?" I got a face full of stone as the doors shut on me. I stood back up and turned to face the center of the arena. "Well, only one way to go I guess."

I walked to what I figured was the middle and waited. As I looked around, I saw that this was a stadium with crowds of digimon watching me.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of grating rock. I looked around until I saw a gate opening across the arena. From inside I saw two glowing red dots. As I watched, they turned out to be eyes as a Fangmon walked into view.

The gate closed as the wolf digimon walked slowly towards me. "This is bad, very bad. I have no weapons or defenses." I mumbled to myself as he got closer, then it happened.

The Fangmon seemed to blur; then I felt something hit my back. "Ah god!" I nearly fell forward with the blow. I heard something to my right, but didn't move fast enough. He swiped me in the side, cutting me open and sending me to the ground. Just as I rolled over, he landed over me.

What happened next surprised us both. He lunged forward to bite my face off, yet my right hand made a beeline for his throat. I didn't see it, but I felt my hand clench down.

There was a wet cracking sound, then howling as the digimon tried to break loose. I managed a quick look, and got quite the surprise. The tips of my fingers had crushed right through the flesh of his throat, blood dripping from the wounds.

The bigger surprise was when the black screen on my hand lit up, and my arm started feeling rather warm.

The Fangmon was scratching me up pretty bad as it struggled, but it was getting weaker. Soon it couldn't move at all, but I couldn't let go.

I watched in avid fascination as data and code began scrolling down the screen and my arm, while the Fangmon seemed to start fazing in and out. I slowly pushed him off me and stood up, holding the wolf in the air like he was nothing.

I had a cooling sensation pass through my body, then all the pain I felt was gone. I looked and all my wounds had healed, but there was some thing weird happening to my body.

My skin was turning red, and leather straps were forming around my arms and legs. I was starting to look like a Fangmon.

The Fangmon in my hand began whimpering as he finally blacked out. I got feeling back in my right hand and immediately let go of the passed out digimon. It fell to the ground and didn't move.

Looking at my hand closer, I saw small text on the screen. [Data Absorption Complete] There was a beep, then a cool washed over me. When I looked down, my skin was gray again and the leather straps were gone.

"Well, one down.... However many more to go." I felt surprisingly good. In fact, I felt better than ever before.

I heard more grating stone, than a roar. This came from a different gate, and the creature coming out was larger than a Fangmon. It was a Darktyrannomon.

"Ah crap. The things I do for girls." I said sighing and shaking my head. For whatever reason, I wasn't scared in the slightest.

Maybe I was in shock? Maybe I hit my head?

Whatever the case, I stood and waited for the dino to get close.

When he did, he took a swing at me. Yet, I wasn't there anymore. I had intended to jump three feet to the side to get out of the way, but I'd ended up all the way across the arena. I was just inches from smashing into a wall when I noticed how far I had jumped. "Damn, that's new."

I turned to find the big dino looking around like an idiot. He finally saw me, roaring as he started stomping towards me. "Well, I can jump. What else can I...." My right hand became cold.

For some reason, I brought it up and held the palm out flat. "Blast Coffin!" there was an explosion, then lots of smoke. I waited until I heard a roar, then thumping.

Next thing I saw was him charging right at me. Without thinking, I jumped straight up. I came back down right onto his back.

My right hand shot into the back of his neck. He let out a below of pain as I grabbed his spine. The feeling I got earlier with the Fangmon came back. This was different however.

Where the Fangmon was my size, I was now standing on top of a dinosaur ten times my size. He started jumping and throwing his weight around to try and toss me off his back, but I had too firm a grip on his spine.

I heard a beep and saw a blue light emanating from where my hand was sunk into thick scales. Then code started flowing up my arm. I could feel the changes as my body took in the data. I observed as my skin turned black with red stripes, and I felt my knuckles crack as I grew claws. My jaw cracked, and when I rubbed my hand over it, I felt that my teeth had become sharp.

The Darktyrannomon wasn't doing so good though. He was wobbling back and forth until he hit a wall.

This finally jarred me loose, forcing me to jump off or get rolled onto. I land in front of him. "Wanna keep going, or quit while you're alive?"

He seemed to inhale, then open his mouth as if to spit something at me. Nothing but hot air and bad breath.

We sat for a second until realization hits us both. "Oh, I'm sorry. Were you trying for this? FIRE BLAST!" I opened my mouth wider than felt natural, and a huge fireball launched from my mouth.

I couldn't see through the ensuing explosion, but when the smoke cleared, there was nothing left but bits of dissolving code. I held my right hand up and focused.

The scattered code floated towards me and was sucked into my hand. There was a beep and the cool wash again.

I casually walked to the center of the arena and looked around. The crowd was cheering for me.

I took a glance and found where Lilithmon was sitting. "Got any more? I'm getting bored out here!" I yelled at her.

This seemed to bring a smile to her face. I watched as she leaned over and spoke into the ear of a nearby Ogremon. It nodded and ran off. Lilithmon raised her hand and called silence to the arena. "The test of strength is done. Now, your loyalty shall be tested."

I didn't like the sound of that.

There was a wait of a couple minutes, but then things picked up again. I heard a gate opening again and turned towards it. What I saw made my heart stop.

Four Ogremon were walking forward in pairs. Each pair was holding something between them. The two on the left had an Angemon, while the two of the right... "Oh shit." It was Brad.

"Let us go! Where are you taking us, damn it?!" His nose was bleeding and it looked like his left leg was bandaged.

Angemon was the worse for wear. One wing was bent wrong while another was missing altogether. His helm was cracked, and I could see blood seeping out from under it.

"This isn't good." I put on my straightest face and looked to Lilithmon. "What would my lady have me do with them?" I don't know where the accent came from, but whatever.

"Kill the digimon, and your loyalty shall be proven."

My skin was crawling as I walked to Angemon. The Ogremon dropped him on the ground and stepped back as I got near; they seemed a tad afraid of me. "Wait! NO, don't kill him! Please!" Brad cried.

I walked up to Angemon and knelt to his level. He slowly sat up and looked me in the eyes. There was surprise on his face as he recognized me. "You are..." he coughed, spitting blood on the ground. I put a hand to his shoulder and held him up. "Why?" he asked when he stopped coughing.

"This was not my doing, but I must finish it. Please, forgive me." He opened his mouth to talk, but froze when I shoved my hand through his stomach.

"OH GOD, NO!" brad screamed.

I focused and soon Angemon's data passed into me. I had one idea, but it would have to wait until later.

Right now, I had a test to pass. Once Angemon had dissolved, I stood and walked to Brad. He struggled as I got close.

"STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!" tears were streaming down his face.

I stopped and sighed. "Please forgive me." I said under my breath before walking to stand before Lilithmon once more. "Have I proven my worth?" I yelled.

She just nodded, stood, then walked away. I looked at Stingmon and had to smile. I could feel his hatred for me; like a needle in my neck. Wait... THUD!
