The Supreme Commander Returns

Chapter 5

Chapter Five - Daddy.

The hall erupted into the frenzied roar of crazy spectators slamming desks, tables and stacking up one money, placing bets on the impending fight.

The cage was unlocked. The drug induced girl, tall and advantaged with his heavy size, walked into the ring, her feet pounding the floor with every movement. The hall erupted into a fierce roar of anticipation and interest.

"Biggie!! Tear her apart!!"

"Crush her bone to dust!!"

The girl roamed the ring with a killing intent in her eyes.

She was sixteen with an intimidating height and size against a twelve year old Julie with a small size.

Julie was shoved out of the cage and yanked into the ring. She stumbled inside, the cuffs biting her wrist, making her wince.

The roar in the hall increased, making her heart race.

The cuffs were removed, clattering to the floor.

Her heart accelerated seeing the giant in the cage staring at her with predatory gaze. She stumbled back in fear, reaching for the door but it slammed shut to her face, the lock engaged, trapping her in the ring with the beast.

"No.. please...let me go..I want my mummy..." She cried, slamming the net frantically.

"Let me out!! Let me out!!" She screamed on top of her lungs, her veins bulging on her neck.

Instead of pity, her cry only fueled the excitement and anticipation in the hall.

"Look at her already crying for her daddy!!" One man threw her head backward and blurted out a sick ugly laugh. The people around him joined in, some banging the desk out of sheer adrenaline and excitement and mockery.

"Damn! She is weeping out her *ss already even before the fight starts!"

A strong arm grabbed Julie from behind and turned her. A heavy punch followed immediately, crashing into her belly. She staggered several steps backward. The ring titled before her eyes then she crashed heavily to the floor.

"Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!"

The hall erupted into chaotic chants.

The opponent didn't give her a chance to recover. She barrelled over to her, grabbed her collar, the fabrics ripped in her grip. With surprising strength, she lifted her up over her head and threw her across the ring. Julie collapsed heavily into the floor with a thud, She landed on her arm, her wrist cracked, her elbow joint dislocated.

"Ahhh..."

Julie whimpered, holding on herself as pain made her recoil. She clutched her arm, crying in pain and shedding tears while the hall went haywire like it was amusing seeing the kid break.

"Do something you little b*tch!!" Her opponent spat, provoking her. "Get up and fight me! Or I'll kill you and dump your broken body for your father to bury!!"

Hearing the statement hurled at her father ignited something inside Julie. An unknown strength gathered inside her. She pushed her body up from the floor despite the pain, clutching the dislocated arm.

She stared at her opponent with anger in her eyes.

"Do not talk about my father with your dirty big mouth." Julie fired back.

Her opponent paused, shocked by the bold retaliation.

"Get ready to die!" She roared, her eyes darkening with rage induced from drugs and anger.

She charged straight at Julie, her heavy feet pounding on the ring.

Julie didn't run. She got ready. She knew her size was a disadvantage against the giant but she wasn't going to let anyone insult her Dad.

As her opponent got closer to her, ready to pin her down, Julie charged forward too and skidded between her legs, appearing at her back. Before the girl could turn. She gritted her teeth through the pain and shoved her hard with both hands, her opponent stumbled backward and lost her footing, tilting back and crashing heavily to the floor under gravity.

The hall detonated with chants.

"Smallie!! Smallie!! Smallie!!"

The big girl pushed up back to her feet, her cheek burning with anger and humiliation.

"I'll eat you little thing!!" She snarled.

She charged at Julie with everything inside of her, her feet hammering heavily against the floor. This time around, Julie wasn't lucky. Her opponent gripped her head and slammed her face into the net.

Once!

Twice!

Thrice!!

The next bruised her face, bleeding her out. The hall continued to chant the opponent's name while Julie crumbled to the floor in exhaustion, her strength completely drained.

She was barely breathing as her chest moved up and down in the ragged odd breath. Her vision swarms with stars, darkness chasing after her consciousness with the promise to consume it.

The noises faded into a high-pitch sound in her ear, and through the fog glazed in her eyes, she saw the girl charging forward to end her, and the only thought that came to her mind was her father.

"Daddy... save me.." She whispered.

Then her eyes slowly closed, narrowing her vision.

Suddenly.

The heavy door of the auction room blasted open, tearing off the hinge as though it was jammed by a bulldozer, crashing into the sitting arrangements and bottles.

The walls vibrated to the powerful impact, chandeliers swayed violently, throwing chaotic lights across the room.

A dead silence fell into the room like the sudden awakening of a ghost.

Every head snapped to the door.

"What the hell was that?!"

"What the heck is going on?"

Through the shattered door and heavy dust, a lone figure stepped into the hall.

Draven Mercer.

He walked in, his reinforced boots crushing concrete to dust beneath him.

"Daddy..."

Julie's eyes finally shut.
