After a week of waiting, the award-giving day finally arrived. It was a Monday, and the whole gladiator district was riled up for this day. The spectators could finally see their best gladiators get their awards in the arena. Today, the Neo-Rome team members were going to get the award for their labor of 3 years. After years of only wearing armor and light clothing as gladiators, they were finally going to dress corporately again. Kalen froze in place with a smile on his face, as he stared at his fresh look while dressed in a suit. After so long he finally cut his beard yesterday. It felt funny to him; he already entered the vicious men’s circle of cutting your beard to avoid it looking wild. He was not even sure if Nami would recognize him again if she saw him with a beard. Despite already cutting the beards, the slight sings to indicate that he was a man with beards were still left there. He carefully admired his electric blue suit, as his smile slowly morphed into a grin. Pair
It has been over 15 years since the Great Narn War has ended. The humans took the technology from the Narn alien race and the Aurelian to better their race allowing them to journey into space. The humans were not going to let the Narns go, they vow revenge against them, as they venture to their home world to continue the fight.It took the humans 5 years to reach the Narn home world.The Galactic Council intervene before the fighting started up again. The humans were furious as they wonder why they didn’t intervene before. The council didn’t know about Earth and its people.The Galactic Council told the humans and the Narn they will settle their dispute within the Ironwing Coliseum, with a series of fights. It would be a 10v1o match. If the humans win the Narn will stop any further attacks on the humans, but if the Narn wins the humans will become slaves to the Narn.Currently the humans are winning the competition by one fight with one more fight to go. This fight will determine if t
Bzzzt!! Bzzzt!! Bzzzt!! Kalen woke up quick. He heard the familiar ringtone that was coming from his military phone. “Shut the hell up! Don’t disturb me,” he complained in a grumpy tone. He was having the strangest dream that he was facing off against dragons and aliens. “Shit, what time is it?” He quickly got up to get his phone to quiet his phone and check the time. His consciousness quickly cleared up. It took him a few minutes to find his phone and quiet it. “Thank God, it’s only 0500. I still have time to get ready before morning drill,” he exhaled in relief. He went to the sink to wash his face and brush his teeth, before he suddenly recalled something important. “Oh shit! Something happen to cause my phone to go off, if there was still time before drill. Shit! Shit!” He cursed has he ran back into the room for his phone. There he saw a message notification on his phone. He unlocked his phone to read the message: “Good morning squires, there is a change of plans. Starting t
“FORWARD MATCH!!” Haywoode yelled to the squires as they did their daily morning parade drills. Haywoode is the best squire out of all the squires that enter the training facilities. He had great leadership, marksmanship, and fighting abilities. He was dark-skinned and muscular. He stood out from the rest of squires standing about 6’2,” as he led them through the parade grounds. He is standing on the side of the parade grounds with a batch of knights in Camelot military uniform. Behind the knights was Knight Captain Reede, the leader of this military base has he watched the squires do their drills. Once the squires finished their drills, Reede stood up and faced the squires. “Good morning, squires.” “Good morning, Knight Captain,” they yelled in reply. “I know that everyone is excited to start the advanced tech training. We will be starting it today but let me give a piece of advice. “Don’t get too excited, because what you experience before was nothing compared to what you are a
The Republic of Gaul is a country with middle-grade military power, and they are directly opposite of Kingdom of Camelot in terms of territory comparison. Republic of Gaul and Kingdom of Camelot are neighboring countries with no close sentiments to each other. Invading other counties for their resources or territories are the norm in this century. Republic of Gaul has always coveted the Kingdom of Camelot’s territories and resources. The Republic of Gaul is more advanced than Kingdom of Camelot technologically, but not by much. The Gauls don’t like that and show much aggression against the Knights of Camelot. All citizens of Camelot have hatred already indoctrinate into them. There is no good interaction between the countries only hatred. If the countries every interact with each other, it always leads into small skirmishes. These skirmishes would at time lead into major invasions. The Gauls are more enthusiastic about the invasions, as they are slightly stronger. Kalen, a knight
Kalen woke up feeling refreshed and revitalized. “I feel like I am in a VIP suite. It is so comfortable. It feels way better then I imagined,” he moaned with satisfaction. He stared at the makeshift bed of tress leaves. He smiled and looked satisfied with his work. “I am going to miss this experience.” He got out of his tent and observed his surrounding making sure there is no danger near back. The sun was shining brightly. He started to grin, as he was enjoying free vitamin D. “What a beautiful free world,” he exclaimed feeling satisfied. He found water pit near his camp. He washed his face and filled his canteen with water. He checked his shadow to see what time it was, he felt it was around seven in the morning. “I should eat something before I leave and continue on my training,” he thought. He ate some of the tigon meat, and then stored the remaining meat in a makeshift bag that he hand-made with some tree leaves. He knew that improvisation is a must learn skill to survive in
“This training is going to be harder than I thought,” Kalen thought, as he walked through the forest looking for a place to wash the blood off his body and clothes. After about twenty minutes of walking, he found a stream nearby. He subconsciously looked around the area for any kind of threat. He quickly rushed up to the water as soon as he noticed he was in the clear. “These four days remaining are going to be a pain in the ass,” he thought out loud. He looked to his right, and he was shocked to find a jackfruit tree. He eyes brightened immediately. “Thank you, God. There is something to eat beside meat. He brought his dagger and climbed the tree for the fruit while staying alert. “I can’t let my guard down. My life is more important than this fruit. He knew that if he let his guard down like a fool that was hungry, he could be attacked and killed. Suddenly he thought about his friend Aledos, as he probably in same situation as him. “Make it through this brother. You are not allo
Bzzzt!! Bzzzt!! Kalen woke up top hear his alarm going off on his phone. “Damn, it’s 6am already. I didn’t get enough sleep last night,” he grumbled as he quickly got up. He showered and brushed his teeth.Twenty minutes later, he was dressed in his new military uniform that was provided yesterday. He strapped on his sword and daggers, and ready to face this new challenge. He left his room surprised that Aledos was not waiting for him. He is usually up before him.“What happened to this fool now?” He questioned as he went to his friend’s room. “I can’t believe he is still sleeping. He reached Aledos’s room in about 15 seconds.Boom! Boom! Boom! He banged on his friend’s door as he called out, “Hey dumbass, what the hell are you doing in there?”“Alright, you can stop banging on my door. I just woke up late. I’ll be there in a minute,” Aledos yelled to his friend.“I said it, when the sun rises normal people respond fast to get up. But you my friend are slow as a snail. What a bad infl

As usual, medical practitioners on white quickly rushed into the arena with a floating stretcher. They brought cleaning bots with them this time, as the blood and gore were quickly sucked and cleaned throughout the arena. Kalen’s unconscious body was carefully placed on the stretcher, as it directly floated back to the medical bay. As the medical practitioners worked, the commentator finally started his ending speech with a smile. “Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Sea Angels, we now finally have a winner for this gladiator tournament. After these countless difficulties, we finally arrived at our destination.” “The winner of the gladiator tournament this time is the Lone Dragon, he proved his strength today in this arena.” “I won’t waste your time much, I just want to inform you that according to the organizers; if everything goes according to plan, the award-giving ceremony will be held within the week.” “Let’s all come back for this final event, to establish our winner’s status
As the atmosphere grew tenser, gulps left throats unconsciously, and speculations rose higher, the gladiators finally moved. Kalen moved first. As soon as he gathered some strength, he used his spear as a support to lift himself off his opponent’s sword. Spurt!! He closed his eyes while gritting his teeth in pain. More blood flowed out of him, as the sword was roughly yanked out of him. His opponent also flinched in pain, as the spear stirred in his abdomen. Thud!! He dropped down to the ground, as he quickly summoned more strength to roll further away from his opponent. He already grew accustomed to pain after so many years of being a knight. He could not directly say that he liked pain, but at least he could bear a lot of pain. Despite this being the case, the pain that he was currently feeling drove deeper into his inner self. He felt like his body was no longer his own, he felt like his body was just a cage where he was receiving torture. He could not help it, as tears flow
The huge energy that was covering the arena slowly opened, as the 2 strongest gladiators entered without hesitation. World Destroyer slowly took off his helmet, as he faced his opponent with a curious smile on his face. Unlike his opponent’s solemn expression, his was complete opposite, he had a calm look on his face. “Magician, you surprised me yet again. I didn’t think you would have the guts to fight me again. Last time we fought, you did put up with great fight, but you know I am going to kill you. I promise you will regret your decision of walking into this arena.” He slowly said with a smile. Kalen didn’t reply, as his blood was already feeling hot for this fight. He had no time nor luxury to reply to foolish questions. He didn’t come here to discuss, at least he didn’t have that luxury like his opponent. He had an uphill and almost impossible target to overcome, he was ready to put his all. “Enough bullshit! You will know soon enough which one of us is the best. Now, let’s
Today was the day, that will determine who the strongest gladiator from this tournament. Today was the day that justify all the bloodshed and deaths throughout the past year, in the gladiator arena. Kalen entered the gladiator armory in a solemn mood, as he went forward to where the weapons were kept. On seeing the empty, grey-colored cold chamber, he could not help but feel a sense of emptiness. For weeks now, he had been training to get the required level to win this fight. He did not know why he was anticipating it, but he felt that he would benefit a lot if he emerged as the winner of this fight. Though his thoughts were numerous, they quickly cleared up as he advanced to the spear section of the armory. He stood before the large row of spears, before falling into a daze. Spears spread for as far as his eyes could see. From short spears to long spears, to broad, to thin spears, every type of spear was available. His hands extended forward, as he firmly grabbed the long spea
The days moved forward just like chess pieces that were being randomly shifted by a chess player. After months of preparations fights, the date for the individual tournament finals has been finally scheduled. After the end of the team tournament, the gladiators on the teams who won were already eligible to take their awards. Despite this, they don’t get them immediately, as the Sea Angels Alliance extended the award ceremony to the week after the end of the individual fight fights. ********************************************************** Bam!! Kalen’s spear stabbed forward in quick succession, as his opponent hastily raised his spear to parry the strike. His hand blurred, as the stab was quickly converted into a sideways slash. Kane narrowly blocked the strike again, but the force exerted by his vice-captain still pushed him back. As Kalen rushed forward to finish him off, Kane’s teammates finally recovered as he quickly slashed his sword forward in retaliation. Whoosh!! Dere

The large fleet of vehicles slowly coming into the compound surprised the now freed gladiators, but they suppressed their curiosity and went forward to meet the General. “Good evening, General.” They all greeted respectfully. “Haha, that’s my soldiers.” The General responded with a loud laugh that was unusual for someone of his status, as he went forward to pat them on the shoulders. “Congrats, y’all didn’t disappoint my expectations. Though it is shame we couldn’t get the 1st place position but taking the 3rd place position is already commendable. “My Captain already told you, sometimes ago that we would not shy in terms of rewards if you won the tournament of you ranks, we intend to keep our word.” “Now, taking 3rd place can be seen as you winning to us, so today, I’ll present the awards that we prepared for everyone.” The Neo-Rome Captain finally came forward and placed an exotic metal box before his General. He opened the box quick
Nami dd not have much to arrange, she just came back to get some of the essential things that she could not leave behind. As she arranged, her mind could not help but drift again to a frail-looking imagination of her mom. At this age where medical technology already advanced so enormously, her being called for indicated how serious her mom’s situation was. There was no way it was a normal illness, which only made her more anxious. “What is so serious that I had to be called for?” She questioned herself again doubtfully. It didn’t take too long before she was finally ready, as she turned around to go. She changed from her old suit into a new suit that she got recently, to present herself in a fresh outlook. Not long after, she finally arrived back at the parade grounds. She was not surprised to still see the summoned horde of knights all standing at their positions in attention. There was no way these guys would leave their positions until orde
