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
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
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
