Knagslot followed him out of the hall. They walked down the narrow lane that led to the stadium in silence, at some point, the horse beast couldn't help but whistle or cough or even sneeze so an activity could be done to pass time.
The glimmering and vociferous brightness of lights in the stadium almost blinded knagslot's eyes. The flickering of a big bulb in the middle of the ring made him squint his eyes. The crowd chanted his name, raising up banners of ' KEEP LEVELING UP, DOT KORRETO' on it. This amazed knagslot, so he had gotten so popular in this game?.
The horse beast led him into the ring, he was handed a bottle of water which he drank and used to wash his head. Shaking it and stretching as he awaited his next opponent. A 7ft giant beast entered the ring, it hit it's chest and howled loudly. It had sharp teeths and as it growled, it showed the more. It had no horns but fluffy ears and and cat like nose with whiskers.
Knagslot swallowed a lump of saliva as he stared at the beast. ' Hell!, that's massive', he thought. The monster bounced around the ring, flexing its muscle to the explosion of praises from the crowd.
The top hat goblin entered the ring now. He held the microphone very firmly and spat into it:
"Welcome to another round of A nightmare for clowns. This is the teeth cracking clown, Dot korreto versus bloody fist beast Mudool!".
The stadium chanted and clapped. Knagslot stared at the beast, huge and the task at hand suddenly became daunting.
"Let the match begin!", shouted the top hat goblin into the microphone. Knagslot took a stride forward and the beast did the opposite, taking a quick stride backwards. Mudool threw a punch forward, to the right of knagslot's cheek but knagslot quickly jerked his legs back, dodging it. Mudool didn't relnt, he pounced forward again, his mouth twitching in a grim frown.
Out of the ring, almost at the sides were two little rabbits sitted on cute little chairs. They wore adorable little top hats. They were clearly the commentators.
"Hello everyone", said one of them. " My name's lonny".
" And mine's bunny", said the other rabbit. They had manly voices which didn't go with their charisma. I mean, their brown breeches and black suits were so cute it didn't seem right they had deep voices.
"Seems dot Korreto is pumped up today, l hope we see more action from him", said lonny.
"So is muddol, let's see how it goes", said bunny.
A punch got into knagslot's face, he moved back, staggering. As he was about to gain composure, muddol dropped another punch right into his face. Knaglost fell on the ropes, bouncing forward languidly only for mudool to put another punch into his face again. The crowd cheered on, hailing mudool to continue. Knagslot fell with a loud BAM! on the floor, cascading down like a bag of potatoes.
The goblin counted: " ONE!, TWO!, THREE!, FOUR!, FIVE!...".
Knagslot looked up, the big probing eyes of the beasts looking down at him, the faint chants of the crowd, the counting of the goblin. He felt really woozy, dizzy and felt fatigue.
" SIX…".
He tried to stand up but he couldn't. He couldn't move his body and blood ran profusely from his nostrils, this was the second time he was being beaten the hell out today. First by the fat man and now by a gigantic beast named mudool. He saw phosphenes, stars that rolled and danced in circles.
"SEVEN!".
"Oh, will knagslot get up?", asked bunny.
"I doubt it", said lonny. " Those were thick punches mudool sent into his face".
Knagslot suddenly heard a faint whisper. It was light and he managed to turn his head but saw nothing.
'Summon the mask', said a voice, it was the whisper. ' Summon the CLOWN MASK'.
" EIGHT…".
' How?', knagslot heard himself say - a whisper also.
'Call it's name', the voice said.
Upon hearing that, knagslot screamed out loud: " I SUMMON CLOWN MASK!".
" NINE?".
A gust of wind twindled in the middle of the ring, it swirled, rolling like a twister, spinning around like a whirlwind. Mudool crouched low and used his hands to cover his head as the rolling of the the wind continued. Suddenly knagslot was on his feat and then a gust of wind took him up to the middle of the ring. He gave out a piercing scream and then from nowhere,descending on his face, was…
… a CLOWN MASK.
It shone brightly and everyone gasped and gaped in awe. The top hat goblin, lonny, bunny and even mudool had to gap and gasp. All the audience were greatly amazed. Knagslot fell down briskly, landing dramatically with his left hand on the floor and his right backwards, in the air. He wasted no time in putting a fist into mudool's face who croppreed censoriously to the ground, a teeth swimming out of his mouth.
" K O' ", screamed the goblin in top hat into the microphone.
" I'm impressed", said lonny excitedly.
" Suberb performance, amazing comeback. I would have doubted if I had been told earlier".
" Stunning blow into the face of muddol for dot Korreto to emerge victorious. Look at how the teeth moved out, it got some of the crowd crazy. Incredible move right there", said bunny.
The goblin in top hat went into the ring and lifted knagslot's hands up.
" And the winner for this round is 'Dot korreto'!".
Hands hit together repeatedly, the crowd in standing ovation. Calling and praising the name of DOT KORRETO. Knagslot felt dizzy now that the move was over, the mask was off his face and if was an effort to stand. He saw many things from where he stood, the massive crowd, calling his name ( well, his recarnation name) felt like mutterings to his ear.
A card popped up before him and on it was written:
