Caesar's Moon

Chapter 58: Chapter 57: Predator versus Prey part 5

In the year MM-15, in a quiet street, multiple sounds filled the air consisting of a feminine battle cry and masculine cries of pain.

Loud thuds and pained grunts resonated in the atmosphere.

A battered and bloodied fifteen year old Caesar who was wearing her tattered school uniform while tears trickled down her cheeks as she was holding a huge black bloodstained padlock whilst being surrounded by unconscious bodies of both humans and beastfolks, stood in front of a dark skinned female beastfolk with two fair skinned male humans by her side

The female beastfolk and her two male humans by her side had a disturbed look.

The female beastfolk glanced at the unconscious bodies piled up by Caesar’s sides before she returned her gaze back to the bloodied Caesar.

Caesar’s breathing was shallow and her vision temporarily blurred.

"I always knew you were crazy but this... This just goes to show how much of a monster you are." The female beastfolk said as she gave a concerned grin.

Caesar stayed quiet for a while as she was still struggling to get her breath.

"Monster, huh?" Caesar asked, "You sent these bastards to attack me... Strip me just so you can take photos of me and send to the internet for money... And for what? Because I scored higher than you in a test?"

"Oh, our issues goes beyond a test." The female beastfolk replied with a cold smirk, "You always go around not talking to anyone and acting so smug.

Caesar Moon. The beautiful ghost. One of the prettiest girls in the class yet you carry yourself like an actual caesar."

"Disgusting." The female beastfolk continued as she tilted her head.

Caesar coughed out blood a little before she took another shallow breath.

"Funny, I never thought about that." Caesar said with a weak smile, "I just had a lot of plates in my hands to even give a damn about stuff like that."

"And there it is. That same smug attitude." The dark skinned female said with disgust, "Well, it doesn’t matter. You’re on your last legs and I can tell in a few minutes, you are going to drop."

"So let’s get this over with." The female continued with a dark grin, "I’m getting those photos one way or the other."

The female beastfolk turned her sight to the humans by her side and nodded at them as a sign to advance.

However, instead of moving forward, the humans took a good look at the bodies Caesar left on the ground then took a look at the bloodstained padlock in her right hand.

The human at the right gestured to the human at the left to go and attack Caesar but the human shook his head in response.

The female beastfolk being irritated, rubbed her forehead.

"She’s injured, you idiots! Get her!"

The humans glanced at each other reluctantly before shifting their gaze back at the female beastfolk.

"Why don’t you come and get me, bitch?" Caesar voice sounded.

"Huh?!" The female beastfolk said as she glared at Caesar.

"You heard me. Why don’t you come at me? Perhaps you are too chicken to do it yourself that’s why you need these goons to do it for you." Caesar said, "Well, it doesn’t matter. You can all come at me if you want... But I swear.... The first person I swing this on is going to join the bodies."

Caesar coughed out blood a little before she grinned.

"So who is joining first?"

As the humans glanced at each other repeatedly in fear, Caesar’s vision was slowly blackening but she gritted her teeth and willed herself to keep standing.

Despite her will, her body was closing it’s limit as her vision was starting to blur.

"Come at me." Caesar said to the three.

"COME AT ME, YOU COWARDS!!!" Caesar said again as her irises glowed.

Before any of them could take a step, the three felt a strong pressure that made them shudder.

As soon as they turned back to see where it came from, it turned out to be a younger Damien Bane who was wearing black shades, black short sleeve top with silver chains, blue jeans, black watch and black shoes while holding a cigarette.

"Now what do we have here?" Damien asked, "A guy cannot enjoy a fine smoke without dumb kids starting shit. Being too loud and ruining my evening."

The pressure of Damien made the boys beside the female beastfolk tremble.

"Oi, stupid kids. Get out of here." Damien said.

"With all due ’respect’ , sir. This is none of your business and if you don’t want to regret it, you better keep walking." The female beastfolk said.

"Huh?" Damien said as he tilted his head.

In a swift motion, Damien slammed his fist on a streetlight, leaving his mark there in the act.

The boys seeing how effortlessly Damien’s fist caved the steel, widened their eyes in horror.

"I ain’t afraid to put hands on a child especially one that is too stupid to listen." Damien said, "So I’ll give you one last chance...."

Damien removed his sunglasses, revealing his illuminating eyes.

He dropped his cigarette, furrowed his brows and spoke.

"Fuck off."

The boys without a second thought, scrammed.

"Tch!" The female beastfolk said in anger as she turned her face away.

As soon as the female walked away, Damien took notice of Caesar laying unconscious on the ground which led him to narrow his eyes.

"Dumbass kids." Damien said in annoyance.

Currently in the middle of the ring, Caesar stamped her foot on the limbs of Damien, both and arms, leaving Damien to groan in pain, the commentators spoke.

"She is mirroring what Damien did to her." Max said, "Earlier in the match, Damien took his time stamping on her arms and legs, so now she is doing the same to him."

Caesar then stood over Damien and stared down before she leaped and stamped her feet hard on his stomach.

"Woah!!!" Max and Reyna said while the people cheered.

"Unlike Damien, she didn’t use the knee! She used both of her legs!" Reyna said.

"Brah." Max said while Damien coughed.

Damien rolled out of the ring, leaving Caesar to narrow her eyes.

Caesar then stepped out of the ring, and stared at the barricade.

"One! Two!" The referee counted, "Three!"

Caesar walked towards Damien and squatted to speak.

"Just so you know... This is nothing personal." Caesar said as she slightly smiled.

Caesar grabbed Damien by his head, thrusted his head between her thighs, wrapped her arms round his belly and hoisted him up to her shoulders.

"Hold up! Is she going to powerbomb on the concrete ground?!" Max asked.

Caesar instead ran forward and slammed Damien back-first on the barricade.

"Damn!" Max said as Damien was clutching his back while groaning.

Caesar moved Damien back into the ring but before she could follow, she momentarily paused to gaze at Akari whose face was expressionless at the moment.

"Eight!" The referee counted, "Nine!"

Caesar quickly slid back into the ring but the very moment she did,Damien launched a wicked clothesline that made her twist in the air and fall flat on the mat.

"OH GAWD!!" Max and Reyna said unanimously as the people cheered.

"Damien just folded Caesar with that clothesline!" Reyna said.

"The rookie took her time to stare at her Mizukai manager and that costed her big time!" Max said,"She already had Damien vulnerable from the armbar, the back to back ero-capture and the stomp on the vulnerable spot!

Wasting time to stare at someone else when facing someone like Damien is idiotic! It takes only one second! One slip for him to gain control and once he does, it’s hell to pay!"

"Well, I think the rookie just learnt that, big time!" Reyna said as Damien stood on his feet.

Damien stretched his neck and walked towards Caesar.

Damien held a fistful of Caesar’s hair, turned her around and delivered a German suplex.

"What a nasty suplex!" Max said.

Damien however maintained his hold on Caesar and delivered another German suplex.

"Another one!" Reyna said.

Damien still maintaining his grip on Caesar kept performing a relentless series of German suplexes.

"Another one! Another one! And another one!!" Max said.

The final German suplex made Caesar bounce on the back of her neck and roll backwards.

The crowd were cheering while Caesar laid flat on her face, silently groaning in pain.

Damien stood on his feet and spread his arms apart.

"Welcome to the suplex penitentiary, bitch." Damien said.

"Suplex penitentiary?" Reyna asked as Damien strutted towards Caesar, "Not bad."

While Damien was still moving towards Caesar, he felt an irritating pressure that caused him to stop in his tracks.

He turned to where the pressure came from and saw it was from Akari who was smiling with delight at the view of Damien’s dominance.

"Why did he stop?" Reyna asked, "Seriously, what’s with those two and looking at Akari?"

"I don’t know. I don’t think I’ll ever know." Max answered ,"But I- Woah! Woah! Woah!"

As soon as Damien turned around, he received a flying forearm to the face by Caesar which caused him to stumble while the people were cheering.

"That moment of distraction gave the rookie the time for recovery she needed!" Max said while Caesar was unloading strikes on Damien.

However, Damien immediately shut down her barrage with a knee to the belly and quickly turned her around for a German suplex.

"Damien is looking to bring her back to penitentiary...!" Reyna said.

Caesar took a quick breath and immediately dropped her weight, allowing her to flip Damien over on the canvas.

At the moment Damien stood on one knee, Caesar landed a high knee to his face.

"What a knee!" Max said.

Caesar mounted on top of Damien and unleashed a barrage of ferocious punches on his face.

"Hey, Caesar, that’s enough! Get off!" The referee said, "One! Two!"

Caesar took quick notice of Damien’s incoming fist, quickly hopped off him and steadied herself while Damien stood on his feet.

Caesar lunged towards Damien, crouching to tackle him down but Damien swung his knee upward to her face only for her to swiftly move out of the way and show up behind his back.

Without wasting time, Caesar wrapped her arms round Damien’s belly and performed a German suplex.

"A feint into a suplex?!" Max asked.

"How can you tell?" Reyna asked.

"That crouch advancement was obviously a feint. One to allow her make Damien act so she can strike!" Max answered, "First it was a baseball slide into a kick feint now it is this! This rookie is crazy!"

Caesar moved towards Damien and gripped his head but Damien who had recovered faster than she expected, pushed her back, causing her to stumble.

Damien then headbutted her which left her temporarily stunned before wrapping his arms round her back and raising her a few feet off the mat.

"The bear hug! He’s performing the bear hug!" Max said as Caesar was screaming in pain while the audience cheered, "The poisonous son wants to wear down the rookie. Take the air away from her lungs!"

Caesar struggled to break free from the hold by trying to push herself out which did nothing.

Damien increased the force of his hold, causing a stronger groan from her.

Damien then drew his face closer to Caesar and with a smirk, he whispered in her ear.

"Congratulations, usurper.... You’ve passed the test."

Before Caesar could react to his words, Damien twisted and delivered a belly-to-belly slam.

"Oh!" Max said.

Damien quickly stood on his feet, walked towards Caesar and grabbed her ankle.

Damien then dragged her towards the turnbuckle and stepped outside the ring."

"Let’s kick things up a notch, shall we?!" Damien asked with a smirk.

Damien grabbed both of Caesar’s legs and yanked her forward, causing her groin to collided hard against the pole.

"WOAH!" Max and Reyna said as Caesar’s right eye narrowed in agony during the cheer of the crowd.

The pain made Caesar swiftly turn to lay on her chest and cover herself in silence.

Damien entered back into the ring, ran towards Caesar, delivered an elbow drop on the back of her head and quickly picked her up to land another series of German suplexes.

Caesar covered the back of her head while holding her mound in pain only for Damien to run towards her and drive his knee on her left cheek, causing her to tumble across the ring.

Damien swiftly stood on his feet and spread his arms apart again.

"Come on! We’re just getting started!"

A flashback takes place in MM-15, as Caesar woke up in the hospital, groaning in pain, the sound of the door opening resonated, causing Caesar to the to direction of it and saw a fair skinned male beastfolk doctor walking in.

"Oh, you’re finally awake." The doctor said.

Caesar groaned a little, observed herself and the environment she was in, before shifting her gaze back to the doctor.

"I’m... I’m in the hospital?" Caesar asked.

"Yes, you are." The doctor answered, "Your injuries were pretty bad. If you weren’t brought in by him, you would have been a carcass by now."

"By who?" Caesar asked, "Who brought me in?"

"He... Preferred that neither I nor the others would say." The doctor answered as he was writing on his clipboard, "And don’t worry about the medical bills, he paid for them."

"Why? Why would he pay for me?" Caesar asked.

"Don’t know." The doctor replied, "All he said is that when you’re an adult, you better pay him back."

"Huh?" Caesar said in confusion.

Currently in the ring while Caesar layed on the canvas while clutching her belly and coughing, Damien tilted his head as he stared down at her.

"Get up." Damien said as his irises glowed.
