Chapter 1-Ackar Begins
As a young child, Ackar had wanted to go beyond Vulcanus and join the Glatorian Gladiators. Every day he trained for the day he grew up. Gladiators didn't have the best of jobs but they get paid £1,000,000,000 a year."A billion quid," he thought. It seemed a little generous but still. He wasn't in it for the money. He wanted to do it because no one else will. Therefore he would be the only Vulcanian to join the Bara Magna Arena Challenge.
To tell the truth he wasn't actually qualified enough; he didn't have the right sort of qualification. He soon went to the arena ten days later and they agreed, after much argument, to allow him to join. "Thank you!" he said quite happily.
"Yeah well I-," Na'ven, the administrator, was interrupted by a loud crash outside. Ackar and Na'ven went outside and saw that a legion of Skrall had taken down the Glatorian Arena. "Well," said Na'ven, "looks like it could be a while before you start competing."
"Isn't that a shame?" It was Tuma; leader of the rock tribe.
"What are you doing here?" asked Ackar rather angrily. "Do you not have anything to do better than destroying old gladiator arenas which are landmarks."
"Old?" said Na'ven."Oh yeah, that thing's two thousand years old.
"Skrall," said Tuma, "time to leave." Just then, a large Skrall troop appeared and talked to Ackar.
"You have no business here Ackar," he said, "Tuma's son's pet could even eat you alive."
"What is his pet?" responded Ackar.
"A Skirmix," he said back, "Oh and my name is Stronius." After that Tuma, Stronius and the Skrall left.
"No wonder."
Back at home Ackar was thinking about that day and then said "Stronius you have no business here." Then he thought again about joining the Arena Challenge and how much pain he would suffer. Then he realised he might have to fight Stronius.
The next day Ackar went down to the shop to buy some weapons. He bought a fire sword for £99.99 and a thornax launcher for £65. "Perfect," he said.
