Escape From Underworld Battle Arena [plot]

On cue, the two darted towards each other at full speed. The massive man suddenly sped up and zipped across the battlefield at impossible speed. The massive titan looked like he had knocked right into Smiles and plowed right over him, but when he stopped, Smiles was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a whisp of smoke where he previously stood as if he had just been burned to ashes. Suddenly, particles of smoke gathered behind Muscle and solidified into the form of Smile, crouched on the giant's back like a cat.

Raising his arms, Smiles swung down and dug his metallic claws into Muscle's back. The burly man roared and shook about until Smiles was tossed off, landing on his feet on the ground. Sliding off his back, Smiles left eight long scratches before he tossed off, but the wounds barely bled. As deep as they looked, they weren't more than flesh wounds to the giant.

The huge man roared and swung down with one of his massive fists. They plowed into the dirt, leaving a fist shaped indent in the hard ground. The moment the fist was upon him, the faunus dissolved into smoke floated off. The particles gathered again, this time behind Muscles. Smiles clenched his fist and suddenly a long spike sprouted from his middle knuckle. With a frontal stab, he dug the spike into the back of Muscle's knees before ripping it out and jumping off to the side.

Roaring out loud, Muscle forced himself to keeping standing and dashed towards Smiles in a blur of speed. Once against plowing into him, the faunus turned to smoke and the whisps seem to snake around the giant. Appearing again, the faunus had his arms wrapped around Muscle's neck in a headlock from behind. The giant tried to swing his body around trying to shake the faunus off but Smiles kept a firm grip.

Dashing at high speed, Muscle slammed his back into the wall, busting a dent into the metal. This time the faunus did not turn to smoke and the audience awww'd at the painful looking attack.

Muscles repeated, running into the opposite side of the arena and slammed into it. Then again. And again. The giant readied himself to charge once more, pausing briefly to ready his footing, but Smiles suddenly lifted a hand and dug his fingers into the man's eye sockets.

Screaming in pain, the giant tried to pry the faunus's fingers out of his eye sockets, but his overly muscled arms and oversized metal hands did not give him the reach. Then with forceful pulling, Smiles pulled the man's head back and worm around from behind. The faunus opened his mouth wide, showing off a monstrous mouth of metal fangs, and chomped down on the giant's neck

The man's screams were bloody and gargled as he twisted about. Smiles turned to smoke again, only to reform on Muscle's chest, digging his metal claws into the sides of his chest as an anchor. Then Smile's shoes sprouted five S-shaped blades from the toes and dug into the giant's belly. Once more, the faunus bit down on the bigger gladiator's neck and with a bloodied squeal, the giant fell down on his back.

"Finish him! Finish him! Finish him!"

The crowd of monitors chanted in unison for several seconds before Smiles pulled back, ripping out the other gladiator's throat out. The crowd cheered loudly.

Casually, the victor stood up and wiped the blood from his mouth.

"Come one now!" the announcer shouted, "Give us that signature cheshire grin of yours."

Smiles looked defiantly at the camera but then puts on a wicked grin, showing his gums and metal teeth. The crowd applauded and Smiles exited the arena, entering a dark entrance tunnel along with a pair of guards.
