The bright sunlight peirced Maximus's eyes as he ran out to the cheering crowd. People went wild, women fainting, men yelling and both adoring the gladiator. "looks like a full crowd" he smiled as they ran out into the dirt dome. Placing his hand sideways, resting it on his forehead, he grazed the bundles of people.
Finally his eyes stopped searching once he caught eye contact with a man above. Commedous sat there, pleased at mans changed expression. Sitting there at the table made of riches, he ate grapes in all seriousness and waved to the gladiator below. Maximus didnt return the gesture and instead glared up with pure sickness. Oh how he wanted that smileing man dead at his feet begging to live. or begging for something else NO He shook his head and let the cheering crowd take his emotions away.
The emperor continued sucking at the ripe green grapes admireing his throne. Mann he looks ever so good in that body suit full of armor. Why dosent he look at me as i do him? All of his thoughts were centered around the older man, always. He didnt really start looking at the man in that way until his fathers death.
"Ready?" Maximus's raspy voice filled the ears of the remaining five gladiators. They all gave a nod of agreement and the opposite chamber doors opened. Out came two huge stallions, pulling along some of the most biggest, ugliest men he had ever seen. Their veins exceeded through the thin skin on the neck, and the amour that covered their massive bodies looked like it could pop off at any moment. Their masks were made of black steel and portrayed the facial features of a cougar.
The men huddled up in a circle ready to fight to the death. Crouching down, they waited for the horses to come closer. Just then all five other chamber doors slid up and out came 30 more warriors. "Split up" Maximus yelled, heading foward towards the charriot. As they aprroached him he crouched under, away from any reaching points. The horse came up to his left and as much as he hated to do it he sliced the foot (BARELY) just enought to make it loose its balance.
One collapsed, then the other, causing the men to evacuate. One of the men carried a huge spiked ball over his shoulder and began to use it in his defense. Briskly he swung, plunging it right into maximus's chest, knocking him onto the ground. A small amount of blood exceeded from his mouth but he quickly got up.
He charged at the man fighting bare and bare with only his sword to protect him. The ball wrapped around the middle of the sword, taking the advantage, he yanked it out of the beasts hands. Quickly spun it around and lunged it foward, catching around the mans knee, and with that he yanked him to the ground.
From out of sight, the other man rushed towards the gladiator from behind. Maximus jumped on his hands foward and gave a brisk kick behind him hitting the giant in the shins, who almost fell ontop of him but caught his balance. Knowing he had been hit, Maximus slit the muscles in his side as he came up behind the man.
As the man bent over to hold the wound Maximus took the opportunity to take him out by one last final stab wound at the top of the spine. Standing there for a couple of minutes after the kills he caught his breath, blood stained his hands and face but his craving for revenge was not yet satisfied.
The other gladiators were feircly fighting a couple yards away, but not feirce enough. Maximus swifted he way though a group of opponets, killing them as he passed. Finally making it to the middle, he realized one of him men had been severly injured. Taking the mans arm he wrapped it around his shoulder as he tried to fight the remaining men. This fight could be his last, he worried about death, how he could never have his revenge. This was it, two large beast-like men charged at them both, they were completely helpless.
Commedous shot up from his seat. "STOP THE FIGHT" he shouted. Everyone below froze in motion and glanced up at the ruler. As he made his way down, the warriors retreated. "Come on" Maximus whispered to his long time friend. They were saved...but now what was to happen?
While walking to the gate before them the huge doors burst open, and out came the emperor, men and all. The guards stretched out, surrounding the remaining gladiators as Commedous walked up to the middle. His eye contact never breaking loose from those of the worn out man before him. "Get him help" he called to his guards turning his head but never looking back.
"But sir"
"I SAID GET HELP...or did you not care to listen" he turned around giving his infamous death look. "Yes sir" a couple of guards took the injured man inside and the rest of the gladiators followed. Not wanting to put up with this, Maximus headed past the emperor with the others.
"Wait" a small whisper escaped the rosy red lips of the all powerfull ruler. His palm placed ever so gently on the chest before him. Staring into those harsh cold eyes, waiting for another word to be said Maximus almost lost himself. It seemed like an eternity, but when one finally blinked reality came into view.
No words were uttered just looks. Maximus grabbed Commedous by the wrist and threw his hand to the side, as if it were a leach trying to drain his blood, or a spider infecting him with poison. The guards stepped foward trying to block the gladiator from leaving but Commedous gave them a brisk hand movement.
He swirved his coat around and headed back inside, hurt, yet turned on at the same time.
