Master vs Apprentice

Decades ago in the pits of hell, Dominic was sleeping off the ravashing he had received from Blair earlier. But her hunger had not been satisfied. The pedophile succubus looms over the young boy licking her lips

Blair: I'm still hungry boy toy~

The young Dominic heard her sulty voice and clutched the Yamato closer to his chest. Though this great weapon once closed the doors of the human world to the demon world, it was useless in his hands and all he could do was hold onto it as Blair had her way with him or she would have if not for the intervention of a very tall figure knocking her away and grabbing Dominic by the shirt and running away with him as she called out his name in rage

Bastard!!

Come back here!

Dominic!

I will find you!!

Once they were fear enough the person threw Dominic to the ground and spoke in a low gravely tone with an echo in their voice

???: Get up..!

Dominic, scared for his own life, stood up shaking and put up his fists and stares the figure in their piercing red eyes

???: Not with your fists boy the sword! Use the sword!

Out of fear, Dominic quickly picked up the Yamato and slowly took out the blade from its sheathe and held it in his hands. The figure reached to their side and pulled out a katana and got into a fighting stance. Despite their body being covered in shadows, the blade in their hands shimmered as if the moon was reflecting it's light off of it.

???: Well? Attack me! Swing that legendary blade the same way you did to those lesser devils! It was like the wind itself was your weapon! Come on! Do it!

Despite all the shouting Dominic could only stand there shaking in fear as tears welled in his eyes while looking at the figure. With a scoff of disgust they grab the boy by his shirt again and pin him to a wall

???: Where is that power I saw!? Why aren't you attacking me when I tell you to boy?! Answer me!!

The loud words of the shadow echoed through the wasteland. With malice in their eyes all Dominic could do was sniffle and begin crying. Screaming out for his mother, pleading that he wants to go home.

???: What a disappointment. I thought you would be like him..

The figure drops Dominic and walks away from him. His mind races with thoughts of doubt and questions himself about the risk he took getting Dominic away from Blair. Though these thoughts would get interrupted by the sounds of feet following him so he turns to find Dominic following him. His gaze cause Dominic to hide behind a rock in fear, dropping the Yamato in the process which angered the person

???: Do you have any idea what this is?! Who it belonged to!? Of course you do and yet you treat it like it's a stick!! I thought you were like him but I was wrong. So get out of my sights before I kill you boy!

Under his breath, Dominic muttered a few words while looking down

???: Speak up boy!!

Dominic: teach me...please.

???: Why should I even think about teaching you anything weakling?

Dominic: I want to fight. I'm tired of her...using me. I want to fight back! Please! Teach me how to use it!!

The figure hums and steps out of the shadows, revealing themselves to Dominic

A bright orange, maroon and green samurai with a skeleton for a face looks down at the young half demon

???: You are willing to spend days training under me boy?

Dominic: Yes! Whatever it takes! I will get stronger! When I get as strong as you, I'll fight you! I'll give you that fight!

???: Heh, you amuse me child. I will train you. I will become your master and in return, you will show me that same skill with a blade you had when I first saw you.

Dominic: Yes I won't fail you..

???: Call me Bludgeon kid. Your new master...

Dominic got on his knees and bowed to his new master and begun his journey to becoming a master of the blade.

Bludgeon trained Dominic in the harshest ways he could: attacking him unknowingly, beating on him even after he admitted defeat, forcing him to fight stronger and stronger enemies. But despite everything, Dominic never quit. He kept training until he got better, he kept going until his body would give out. Even with his abilities, he pushed past the limitations of his body until he felt that he was ready to face his final challenge. Blair. Standing outside of her den, Dominic and Bludgeon stood there together.

Bludgeon: Once you defeat her, your journey will come to an end my apprentice.

Dominic: Yes master.

Bludgeon: Just remember, don't disappoint me boy.

Dominic: I won't master. I will defeat her and make you proud.

Bludgeon said nothing but gave Dominic a rub on the head before he pushed him into the den. What Bludgeon didn't see, was the smile that was on Dominic's face as he walked in. Overtime as the two trained together, Dominic began to saw his master as sort of a father figure to him. This put more pressure on his mind but he had to throw away those thoughts for today he faced his destiny.

Stepping into his kidnappers chambers, Dominic kept his sword close to him and his hand tightly gripped to the handle. The room was pitch black save for the floor being littered with wax candles. As the shadows danced around the walls of her home, the sounds of laughter was heard from the darkness. A strong gust of wind came into the room, blowing out all of the candles making the room pitch black.

Hahahaha~!

Oh how cute~

I think he wants to play~

How fun~!

Dominic unsheathed Yamato and held it tightly in a battle stance, making sure to keep his ears listening out for his surroundings. Suddenly, a trail of candles light up leading the way to a throne and on it was his tormentor, Blair

Blair: Well well well my favorite toy has come back to me~

Dominic: I've come to end your madness! And take my revenge..

Blair: Revenge? What for? I gave you everything. And so much more~

Dominic: I won't leave here until you are dead at my feet!

Blair: Why the anger boy toy? You were so happy with me and you even said you loved me~ Did you lie~?

Dominic said nothing as his eyes gazed to the floor for a second before coming back to meet Blair's grinning face

Dominic: Enough talk! Stand and fight!

Blair: Hmph. Looks like my little pet needs to be taught a lesson.

Dominic takes one step before he is flung into a wall and held up by his throat by Blair

Blair: You think you're better than me because you're a kid? You're no better than me. In fact, you're much worse. You think killing me will absolve you of what you've done down here Dominic? Such misguided nonsense!!

Dominic: Shut up!

Dominic grabbed a melted candle from the wall and smashed it into Blair's face breaking her nose and causing her to drop Dominic.

Blair: Argh!!

Blair growled and looked at her ex slave with crimson red eyes filled with anger

Blair: You little...asshole!!

Dominic shot back up to his feet and held his sword in front of himself ready to fight Blair

Blair: When I'm done with you...I'm gonna cut off your legs so you can never run away from me again.

Her voice was now filled with malice as she reached to her side and pulled out a rapier that she then licked the blade while staring at Dominic

Blair: Let's have some fun~

Their blades met each other and sparks hit the ground as they begun their battle

Blair breaks the clash and attacks with a flurry of forward thrusts with such great speed that it was like a battalion of soldiers were attacking all at once. But Dominic had not trained just to be taken down so easily and he retaliates by defending himself with rapidly slashing from left to right fast enough that his sword was but a blur. Impressed by his skills, Blair cracks a smile as their battle raged on

Blair: I'm impressed boy toy! You can actually use that old thing!

Dominic: I can do more than this!!

Dominic kicks away from Blair who readies herself for his next attack but is surprised that he sheathed his sword

Blair: What is-?

In an instant, Blair feels multiple deep cuts on her body as the sound of distorted space rings in her ears. She falls to her knees covered in cuts that could only be made by a blade

Blair: H-how..! That's impossible!

Dominic: It's my judgement upon you. Every cut I make will be a sin I shall carve into your skin. And I am just getting started.

Blair: My sins..? And what about yours? You act like you haven't done anything wrong when I brought you down here. Truth is Dominic you're just like me. No, you're worse. And after I'm done with you, you won't want to leave me~

Dominic: Not happening..the nightmare is going to end today!

Blair: Famous last words~

Both fighters re-engaged fighting each other letting sparks fly again from their blades clashing against one another. Blair fought using quick and preside thrusts and parries while Dominic fought with fast, immediate sword swings and re-sheathing Yamato after he strikes Blair.

Blair: You're good Dommy~! Where did you learn to swing your sword like a big boy?

Dominic: My master trained me til I couldn't move! And even then he still told me I wasn't good enough! But I'm greatful he could teach me how to fight so I may put you down!

Blair: Hah! You don't have the strength to even fight me at my full power!

Dominic: That's why I'm gonna kill you now!

Dominic drew his blade and rushed to Blair, dragging Yamato on the ground making sparks from the friction. Swinging from left to right, Dominic furiously tried to cut Blair in two but his concentration was only on killing her not on the battle with her. This carelessness gave Blair the chance to slash Dominic on the back but even though he was a child, his powers were still potent and was one of the reasons why Blair made Dominic her toy.

No matter how many cuts, no matter how many times she burned him, he would always heal. The cut on his back healed as instantly as it was made

Dominic:*growls* You scum..!

Blair: You're getting boring. Maybe if I cut off your tongue you'd be more interesting~

Blair reeled her arm back with a dark grin on her face and thrusted forward at high speeds, launching herself at Dominic who was lucky to have dodged her advance

Blair: Die! Die!!

Blair shoots around the room trying to skewer Dominic on her blade but her movements were unguided which made it difficult but not impossible to dodge her

As soon as he saw an opening, he sliced her thigh causing her to fall on the cold floor. Dominic took his chance and lunged on top of Blair. He raised his blade above his head ready to plunge it into her chest and finally end Blair's rein of terror forever

SHLUCK!

Blood seeped out of Dominic's mouth as he looked down to see Blair's hand through his chest. There was no pain from the wound strangely but Dominic suddenly began losing his strength and feeling in anything.

Blair: I told you I stole the hearts of men..

She leans up to his hear and whispers to him

Blair: It wasn't a figure of speech~

Dominic looks down to her arm and finds that her hand was inside of his chest. He could barely feel anything except her hand gripping his heart frimly

Blair: Even if I tear out your heart, a new one would grow in matter of minutes. But...if I hold onto it for a while I can watch the life drain from your eyes~ Can you hear me Dominic? Hm~?

His life slowly draining from his body, Dominic can't think but to call out for help but no matter how hard he tried to form the word he could not speak it.

Looking up at the roof Dominic spots his master looking down at him

Dominic:~Master...help me..please~

Bludgeon said no words nor did he attempt to help his pupil. All he did was shake his head and walk away into the darkness

Dominic: Mas...t..e-er...

Blair: That's right boy toy~ I'm your master~

Hopelessness loomed over him as he felt his life fade away slowly. The color in his eyes slowly begin to fade. In a fit of desperation, Dominic tries to claw her face but all she felt was the weak grinding of his fingertips ok her face

Blair: So helpless~ Just like the day I found you~ Tell you what? I'll let you live if you tell me you love me. How does that sound~

Dominic wheezed out his final breaths to Blair trying to utter something to her but it was too low to hear so she inched her ear to his lips

Blair: Come again~?

Dominic: fuck..you..

With a mighty chomp of his teeth, Dominic bites down on Blair's ear and tears it off from her head causing her to let go of his heart and hold the spot where her ear was just torn off in pain

Blair: AAAAHH!!! AHH AHH!! MY EAR!! MY FUCKING EAR!! YOU FUCK!! AAAAHH!!!

Dominic spat out her ear and ran away from Blair clutching his chest in pain

Dominic:*panting*

Blair's screams became softer and softer the further he ran from her home

Blair: I'll find you you bastard!! I'll fucking find you!!!

The boy ran as far as his legs could take him until he collapsed out of exhaustion. His mind raced with thousands of thoughts but one always popped up in his mind

Where were you...?

Dominic started to cry again, clutching his head as he curled up in a ball. All alone in the dark with no one.

~Present Day~

Dominic wakes up from a nap on his chair in his home

Dominic:*groan* God what a day...

The father of many got up from his chair and went into the kitchen for a drink, running into his first wife Hestia

Dominic: Hey babe..

Hestia: Hey Dom. You just woke up??

Dominic: Yeah wanna smell my after nap breath?

Hestia: Ew! No!

Dominic: Come on~ Come on~!

Hestia:*giggles* No you perv~!

Dominic: Ah fine! I was here to get a drink anyways..

Dominic reaches into the fridge and grabs himself a water as Hestia leaves the kitchen

Dominic:*hums while drinking*

Hestia: Uhh...Dom..

Dominic: Hm?

Hestia: T-there's a man outside...

Dominic:*walks up* I swear to God if it's Jehovah's witness I'm gonna-

Thump!

The sound of Dominic's water bottle hitting the floor scared Hestia but not as much as the scared look in his eyes

Hestia:*scared* Dom..Dom talk to me.

Dominic: Master....

Hestia: Master? Dominic who is he! Please! You're scaring me..!

Dominic: Stay inside... don't help me..

The goddess looked at her husband pick up his sword from it's stand and open the door. She wished she could have found the courage to grab him and pull him back inside but why this man made Dominic turn pale.

~outside~

Dominic shut the door and took two steps forward before planting his feet and his sword down on the pavement. Staring at his old master, he never uttered a sound.

Bludgeon: You've gotten taller boy..

Dominic: ........

Bludgeon:*leans to the side* You have a wife I see...

Bludgeon takes note of Hestia looking at them through the window and he does a small wave to her with a sly grin which made Dominic tighten his grip on the Yamato

Dominic: Why..are you here?

Bludgeon: I heard about this warrior who slaughters armies with a single sword swing. He who's power is that of a natural disaster. I knew it was you my boy...now I see the warrior before me. My how you've grown!

Dominic: Get off my lawn Bludgeon..!

Bludgeon: Hm..? No invitation to come into your home? I should have taught you manners instead of wasting my time with swordplay.

Dominic: I won't ask again..Get off my lawn and stay away from my family..

Bludgeon: So that's how it's going to be? Have it your way. Honor is for the weak anyways.

Bludgeon looks at Hestia again and pointed his arm mounted cannon at her and fired a shot aim for her.

With two slashes, the bullet was cut into pieces and fell to the floor smoking. Sheathing his blade, Dominic looked at the bullet not even paying any mind to Bludgeon

Bludgeon: Are you going to fight now!!

Dominic: Why did you leave..?

Bludgeon: What?

Dominic: Why did you leave me that day? I was dying and you just...turned your back on me..!

Bludgeon: You were weak. I thought I had wasted my teachings on you but now I know I was wrong. Now I see how far you've risen. Your training is complete and now you have risen above normal men!

Dominic: Get on with it...

Bludgeon: You are to come with me and we will make my dark masters vision a reality! A world...of darkness and chaos! Hell on Earth as it once was.

Dominic: Madness. Bringing back chaos to this world that I worked so hard to protect.

Bludgeon: Protect? Two years ago you raised a Qliphoth for more power! I'd say that is a lousy means of protecting this world!

Dominic: Get off my back. And leave my home.

Bludgeon: You are either coming with me willingly or without your arms and legs! Either way you will come with me!

Dominic: Very unlikely...

Bludgeon unsheathed his katana and gets in a battle stance. It's green color shined as the sun's rays reflected off it. Dominic readies himself to battle with his old master one last time

Bludgeon: How will your Darkslayer style fair against Metalicato?

Dominic: Time to find out..

The wind blows a few leaves in between the two swordsman. They both never move a muscle until s healthy green leaf blows in between them, the wind blows it around and around until the wind dies out and the leaf slowly drifts to the ground

CLANG!!

Their blades clashed with each other. Bludgeon laughs hysterically as he starts to push Dominic back across the floor while still clashed with him. Giving him a quick shove, Dominic tricked away from Bludgeon and sheathed Yamato as space distorted around Bludgeon. Since he trained Dominic, he knew this attack very well; Judgment Cut.

Bludgeon dodged the attack and the other slashes before retaliating with his own slash attack, sending a large green shockwave at Dominic.

Dominic: Hrrr..!

Dominic clenched his hand into a fist and backhanded the attack, sending it into the air

Bludgeon: Impressive..

Dominic: I don't need your praise!!

His temper was noticably starting to rise towards Bludgeon. Gripping Yamato tightly in his hands, Dominic shouts and spins around in the air charging towards Bludgeon in a flurry of Judgment Cuts. This technique was a variation of his "Deep Stinger" he called "Living Judgement". A Judgement Cut that can track because he was in the center of it all. Bludgeon was caught off guard by this but it didn't phase the Metalicato master as he slashed his way past Dominic, cutting him out of his attack and skidding across the concrete

Dominic: Agh!

Bludgeon: You are not fighting at your full strength! Why..?

Dominic:*pant* I... won't...

Bludgeon: Won't..? You won't fight me even if I try to kill your beloved wife again?

Dominic:*stands up* Ugh..! She has no part in this! It is just you and I today Bludgeon.

Bludgeon: And yet you aren't ending this fight as quick as it had started. You're holding back.

Dominic: Because I don't want to fight you.

Bludgeon: Ah emotions. A weakness my master's purged from me years ago. I remember you tried to do the same but failed.

Dominic: Enough! Leave here with your life or else I will cut you in two!!

Bludgeon scoffs and appears behind Dominic looking back at him with his crimson red eye before slicing him in half from the waist

Bludgeon: What was that about cutting me in two..?

???: I gave you a way out...

Bludgeon's head shoots over to where the voice is and his eyes go wide in shock seeing Dominic standing in the shadows of his house with his arms crossed

Dominic: Yet you ignore my pleas...

In an instant Dominic had disappeared, no sound, no movement. Bludgeon looked around frantically for Dominic until he appeared right in front of him

Dominic: I didn't want to hurt you because of my feelings towards you..now I have thrown them away to keep my beloved wife safe from you.

Bludgeon swiped at Dominic but again he disappeared in an instant

Bludgeon: Enough of your disappearing act!

Dominic: You're a fool..!

Dominic appears next to Bludgeon and backhands him away into the neighbors lawn but doesn't give him time to get up by grabbing him by his chestplate and headbutting him several times over, cracking his skull face and then delivering another punch to his chest, cracking his armor as well.

Bludgeon was on his knees gasping for air while Dominic looked at his master in disgust and left him there as he walked back to his house

Dominic: Don't come back...

The demon warrior clenched his fist and grit his teeth as he charges at Dominic and jumps high into the air with his sword above his head

Bludgeon: AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Not even paying him any mind, Dominic sends Summoned swords to Bludgeon to which he blocks effortlessly until Dominic put more power into his attack and the swords grew in size and in numbers.

Bludgeon: Hm! Ha! Hyah!

Destroying the swords with every sword swing, Bludgeon makes his way to Dominic again walking over the broken pieces of glass swords on the floor. A mere foot from his pupil, Bludgeon goes for a diagonal slash but like all of his attacks they were deflected by Dominic using the Yamato still in its sheathe

Dominic: I'll send you back to your master's in hell!

Fed up with Bludgeon, Dominic begins his combo by rapid slashing past him then equipping Beowulf and hitting him with a flurry of heavy punched and kicks before hitting him with a fully charged Kick 13 that sent Bludgeon flying, only Dominic was not done yet. The Alpha and Omega grabs Bludgeon by the leg in mid air and slams him into the dirt, breaking his ribs and then he was met with the dirt again only this time his impact was so hard he bounced on the ground which gave Dominic another chance to continue his combo, this time with Mirage Edge. Beginning with a Million Stab, Dominic slashes Bludgeon into the air and juggles him with Drive and Summoned swords. Reeling back with Mirage Edge in one hand and Yamato in the other, Dominic uses one of his most devastating moves: Deep Stinger

Dominic: Here goes!!

Becoming a human drill, Dominic pierces Bludgeon's armor spraying blood everywhere and doing massive damage to him. In the air Dominic does an oldie but a goodie, jump canceling. Repeatedly kicking then slashing Bludgeon has him and Dominic in the air for a solid 20 seconds before Dominic ends his combo and teleports to his doorstep

Smokin' Sexy Style!!

Dominic:*flicks dust off him* Too easy...

Bludgeon:*cough* You..really have...gotten stronger..!

Dominic: Now do you see Bludgeon! You are outclassed here.

Bludgeon struggles to stand but eventually he is on his feet. His blood drips onto the floor causing a puddle to form but that didn't matter to him, all that mattered was the fight. That was why he had been reborn as this. To fight for his dark masters. Unsheathing his sword, Bludgeon gets back into his fighting stance and grins again at Dominic

Bludgeon: Final round...AAAAHH!!

Dominic glares at Bludgeon and cuts past Bludgeon. The two swordsman stood with their backs away from each other; Bludgeon having stopped his charge looked up at the sky as Dominic slowly sheathes Yamato

Bludgeon: I'm..so..........proud..

CLINK!

When Yamato hit it's sheathe, Bludgeon was split in two. His corpse hits the ground and his blood pours out of him

Dominic: Alucard...*snaps* clean...clean up this mess..

The No Life King: Alucard, phases up out of the ground and bows to Dominic

Alucard: As you wish master..

Leaving his servant to his meal, Dominic walks back inside his house and drops Yamato on the floor. Hestia, whom had not moved from her spot the entire fight, saw her husband's face

No pride, no anguish, just nothing. She hugs him in a tight squeeze and he utters a few words

Dominic: I didn't want to fight....I didn't..want to...

Dominic gets out of Hestia's grip and walks into his room and shuts his door behind him and he sat down on his bed. Looking at the floor he takes in a deep breath and shuts his eyes as a tear falls from them

Master...
