Draven entered the ring, the world was full of new and interesting things. He smiled as he entered the dirt square drawn in the basement of a factory. As he did he pulled out his shield, which was resting on his back. He had found this underground fight ring when he was looking for a place to train. And he smiled under his helmet. His sword was on his side, next to his secondary sword. A masterwork longsword. On his hip was his pistol crossbow and he hefted his tower shield up, getting into the bear claw stance as he waited for his opponent. His opponent came out. A man about half his size, but as he was intering he removed two swords from his hips and draven backed up against the corner of the ring, to give him a good cover behind his back. He wasn’t here to win, but hed gladly take on a challenge to test out his new shield.

As the enemy advanced he watched his movements carfully. Ready to turn to protect himself. The man attacked, blow after blow landed on the shield and the impact rattled Gavins bones. He knew this man was skilled, but is attacks were brutal. He took each blow, the swords bouncing off hiss hields as the man moved rapidly around him to attack. But he was safe from behind. The blows made hard contact with the shield. But Gavin knew the shield could take it. He grunted as each one hit. Doing his best to take the hits. The hits were getting weaker, and Gavin smiled. His shield was doing its job. He dodged to the left and soon was circling the enemy, keeping his shield between him and the fighter.

The enemy laid down a flurry of punches on to the shield. The enemy kept going and going, his eyes flashing again and changing as the strength increased. The blow rocked Gavin as he blocked the move. The moves were getting stronger, and when Gavin looked over his shield he found the man taller almost Seven feet and his muscles were 4 times as big as before. His kick connected with his shield and sent him flying into the Audience stand.

He stood up just in time to see the man jump into the air to deliver a deadly kick, and Gavin raised his shield to meet the blow, feeling as his body was forced downward and the ground around him cracked from the force as he threw the man off his shield. The man grabbed a large concrete block that had been part of the audience stand and swung it hard at Gavin, the large concrete object hitting the shield and moving Gavin in an arch away from where he had been. The man yelled and dashed forward, his shadow hitting Gavin’s eyes as he turned and blocked the blow, feeling it force him back hard moving him a good ten feet.

‘This man… what kind of beast is he?’ Gavin thought as he brought out his sword and prepared to strike should he need too. He felt saw the man sway gently as his body changed again, his legs becoming thicker, stronger. As is bones cracks as he grew yet another foot, to match Gavin’s size and he charged forward, a shun shin. The man slammed his fist into the shield at full force mid shun shin, the blast sent Gavin flying into the wall as he hit hard and tried to recover his breath and managing to dodge out of the way as the man shun shined again to slam him even harder.

Gavin jumped back as he saw the man charge again, but the man was under him at an angle, Gavin moved his shield just in time and was sent flying through the roof into the First floor as he was sent outside of the building and landed hard, his vision blurred as he picked up his sword and shield. The man walked out of the hole and smiled as his body changed once again. This time growing a rather large tail and gaining a more reptilian appearance.

“What are you?!” Gavin shouted at the man as he kept walking. The man’s clothing was gone, and his body was changing into a large reptilian beast. From his skin there were small white stones poking out of it as though grown from bone. He charged Gavin, who barely managed to get the shield up in time to block it. The blows kept coming, moving Gavin back more and more with each blow. 3 feet, 5 feet, 10 feet, he could feel the blows getting stronger as they hit him. He felt the impact in his bones as they fractured, but were healed almost instantly by his Grendel ancestry. He slashed with his sword and found it couldn’t pierce the creature’s skin as he laughed and swatted the blade away. He punched the shield again, launching Gavin back 25 Feet. He hit the side of a building and went through into the restaurants inside as the patrons ran away.

He landed on his back, and took a minute to catch his breath. This wasn’t a human creature. It must be a demon sent to kill him. He panted gently, trying to calm his breath. He needed to keep a calm breath and level head. He tried to focus himself as he heard the demon speak. “I’ve heard tale of the great justice! But to find him human is degrading! I wanted a real challenge!” he grabbed a chunk of the wall and crushed it with his bare hands, his bony spikes where larger and his skin was more like leather as his tail swished around, covered in spikes at the end.

Gavin rolled off the ground and took up a battle stance taking out his extra blade. He was sweating heavily, a Demon was hard enough to fight with divine powers, and a mortal body was no match for a demon. He watched as the demon laughed and began to speak of glory and the. But Gavin wasn’t listening. He was hurt, growing tired. But he knew that had never been able to hurt him. Not with a regular sword. He needed to find a weak point. Some part he covered.

Gavin didn’t have time to think about what he was gunna do to defeat this thing , its attacks were too fast to have time to attack, he could only defend. The punches hurt, even through the shield they hurt. He growled as he gritted his teeth with each impact. The demon was strong, far stronger then any Gavin had fought as an Angel. But he knew this thing would kill all the people in snow if he didn’t keep it focused on him. It wanted his head and wanted his soul. He wouldn’t stop till he had it. the blows rained down heavy and hard, and the shield was getting dented. Not badly, not yet anyway, but soon they would give out.

The beast laughed as he rained the blows down. “The Great Punisher! That’s what they called you!” he smiled as he kept up his assault. His muscles exposed where his skin had ripped, and elsewhere bony spikes came out of his body, the ones on his knucles were doing some serious damage to the shield. And he smiled. “Your shield can only protect you so long angel!” he laughed loudly until he was hit by a rock from outside the hole he had made. He growled and turned away from Gavin to see a man, the owner of the restaurant, holding a rock in his shaking hand.

“G… get the…the hell out of my restaurant!” the man shook as the Hulking Monstrosity that the enemy had become began to walk toward him. He backed away throwing the rock at the monster as Gavin stood up, groaning. He wouldn’t make it there in time by running, and the beast was making its way too him, Gavin shun shined twice making it to the man right as the monster shunshined to take his head off, bone against shield. Gavin planted his feet and braced the shield with both hands, the creature growled and Gavin grunted hard, he had taken the blow hard, and his bones had suffered for it. They healed fast enough for the next volley, but not fast enough to keep the same damage from happing, but Gavin wouldn’t move, wouldn’t wince, now he had a innocent soul to protect. The bone kept healing as the blows rained down. Hard and fast.

The owner ran, as Gavin yelled back for him to run. As he did, Gavin braced himself even more as the attacks rained down. He had never fought something this strong, and he felt the metal of his shield bending, it wouldn’t hold up for very much longer. He flew back as the next blow landed. “You have no right to do this! The Middle ground Compact voids all fighting between Demon and Angel on earth!” He stood up watching the Demon as he seemed to just stand there.

The demon smiled gently, his tail whipping the air. “But you’re not a Angel anymore… are you? You’re just a puny little Ant.” He advanced toward him and smiled as he ran forward, Gavin lifted his shield and it snapped, the bony spikes on the knuckles finally finding purchase as the punch was delivered right to his chest, sending him flying threw three buildings and into the armory of the village. His eyes were blurred by pain as he gasped for breath. He sat up slowly and coughed up some blood. His body hurt, badly. And he had to wait a minute for his bones to heal. But as he got up he could hear the screams from the distance.

He looked around, his head still swimming as he saw the shield rack, and grabbed another tower shield. He grabbed another one and placed it on his back before making his way to the entrance his body had made. The beast was throwing ANBU around like they were dolls. He walked over to the area they were in and as he did, the Beast turned to face him. “Your still alive? Well I guess I did underestimate you.”

“Ignorant demons tend to do that.” He braced himself as the demon lunged and struck the shield he moved a few inches, but he was dug in now, as he held the beasts attention, the ANBU around him tried to help, but he ordered them to get the civilians away. He stood there alone, facing the beast he had yet to beat. And he smiled gently. “They will write songs of this for sure. And when they tell it they will need a name for you demon, to tell the world who I defeated.”
