The other ending to the ULC

"Ares. Stop here."

"Ok. Are you ready Gregor?"

"Yes. Fly at him when I give the word."

"I will fly at him as fast as I can."

The bond of Overlander and Underland bat sat in complete silence as they listened to the panting of the Bane. He was foaming at the lips and had multiple gashes from hitting jagged rocks and tripping in his rampage. This was Gregor's plan from the start. If he got the Bane tired enough he would slowly start stopping and the warrior and bat could kill him with one slash. That isn't what happened though. The Bane just kept following Ares, he wouldn't lose his prey.

Ares had flew ahead of this running rat and hid in a small hole in the wall with Gregor. Now they were waiting for the Bane to come so they could pounce out and hopefully surprise him. Ares was surprised that Gregor was waiting and talking clearly. He could feel his rider had lost all control and still hadn't regained it from their last fight. At first he was scared then he was amazed, then he was thankful. Gregor had given so much up for him. He had lost his safe world in the Overland for him. Because of that Ares would give up his life if it came to that.

Ares POV

Gregor was panting slightly and I knew he wouldn't be able to fight as good as usual. I heard a few whispers and noticed that we weren't alone anymore. Two rats burst out of a tunnel the opposite way the Bane was coming. I was struck with horror though when two tails with stingers on them darted out of the dark cave opening and stabbed through the two fleeing rats. I forgot about the Bane then as they came into full view. I sighed in relief even though I was still tense when two shiny shelled creatures emerged. The two stingers with blood dripping off their tails started hissing in their language at our direction and I was worried they would give away our position.

The Bane's claw emerged first though before anything could happen between us and the Stingers. They noticed his presence immediately and charged at him but were met with two claws poking through their torso's. The Bane tossed their carcasses away into the darkness and went over to a elevated rock were he set down a different rat that hadn't been with him in the battlefield. Twirltongue.

"Don't fly at him." Gregor whispered in my ear.

I didn't understand why but I trusted Gregor enough to not get us killed.

"Who do we owe the pleasure to have you grace our presence?" Gregor said sarcastically towards Twirltongue.

"No!" the Bane howled. "You don't talk to her! I am King! I am the King and you must talk to me!"

"Yes. Yes. My dear Bane. You are King. Every good King though needs to have killed someone greatly known. Here is your chance! Prove your worth to the rats!" Twirl tongue said to the Bane in a silky voice. But that was a mistake.

Pearlpelt looked over at her with a sideway glance before he got angry. "I don't half to prove my worth! The rats will follow me! I will not kill the warrior for anybody except my own pleasure!" He tossed back his head and howled a gruesome bloodcurdling sound before pouncing onto Twirltongue and lifting her up.

Twirltongue struggled and slashed trying to get free but the Bane's claws were way to much pressure to keep moving as her eyes slowly moved forwards. The Bane ran at a edge and threw her over it so she plummeted to her death. I sighed. Like Henry. "Ares fly at him now!" My rider hollered.

I leaped forward through the opening and dove at the Bane tucking my wings. Gregor swung at the Bane precisely for the neck and hit the Bane's neck.

And that is the end of the first chapter! I am not going to promise anything because then if I don't fulfill that I feel bad and for some reason that makes me not want to update. The only reason I randomly came back onto Fanfiction is because a different writer on this site, Jamklanson, actually gave me the inspiration to do more story. So a shout out to Jamklanson for that. Thank you! Goodbye. Ares is awesome!
