Chapter 1 Team red:
A few days after the events of The Rise of The White Disease Arena sleeping quarters:
The arena's sleeping barracks were dark and not very clean and they were quite cold as well but if the cold really was a bad thing Jack did not know. True it is not pleasant but it did work when you had a headache from the fighting or the training or of another job that they would let you do here.
Jack had woken up a day or two ago and some other dogs had told him that he was brought in three days ago. The first day they had left him alone but the second day they had started his training and that was not a pleasant training. When he woke up he had asked. "am I in hell?"
The dogs had replied. "See for yourself if you find this hell". First Jack hadn't understood it but now he understood it very well. The training was hard, The survival chances were one to 100 and the food was aw full. Jack didn't remember a lot anymore from what happened before he woke up here.
And he couldn't care less what had happened before now because all that mattered was the present and the future. Why you might ask? Because the present and the future decided if he would live or die. He had woken up with a collar around his neck with a small tube attached to it.
The dogs had told him that in the tube you would get a paper and on that paper they would write. The amount of kills you had, the punishments you had got and how many times you had gotten them, Which treatments you had gotten and so on. The point was that when this game would start things would get a lot worse for Jack that was all he knew.
He looked around his cell a little bit. He shared the cell with a couple of other dogs. Their names were Storm(light-brown Golden retriever), Big Max(white Pyrenean mountain dog), Prof (white with black spots Pyrenean Mastiff), Hunter (black German shepherd) and Runner (black-white husky). They were quite friendly and unlike other dogs they hadn't made fun of him being a hybrid or an albino.
The first thing that Jack had noticed when he looked around was that there were only males. When he had asked why there were only males. Prof had responded "There are only males here because they use the females for breeding. If you fight good enough then they let you have fun with one." Jack had been disgusted by that thought not only did they expect him to fight and kill now they also wanted him to rape a female.
Jack had made up his mind he would not rape a female no matter what they did. "If I die here. Then let it at least be with my dignity." Jack thought in himself. He saw Big Max coming over to him and he heard him say. "How is it going Jack?"
"If you forget the fact that I am trapped here, be forced to kill and they expect me to perhaps rape someone and become victim of their sadistic punishment then I am doing ok." Jack said.
"Yes, I agree. They are quite good in making death look better than life but there is one blind spot to that treatment." Big Max said.
"And what would that be?" Jack asked curiously.
"That you can die whenever you want." Big Max responded.
"Yes, That's at least somewhat comforting." Jack answered. "When is the first fight actually?" Jack asked.
"I don't know but I heard them say that they will tell who is in who's team after today's training." Big Max responded.
Jack was quiet for a while until he saw some guards that opened the cell and said. "Okay, All of you out it's training time."
"Here we go again guys!" Storm said before going as first one out followed by the others.
Training court:
Jack and the others arrived at the training court and saw a lot of dogs doing different kind of exercices by example a couple of dogs were wearing a harness that was bound to a rope that was attached to some weights. The dogs needed to get the weights to the highest point and after that they needed to start again.
A few other dogs were running a couple of others were doing a obstacle course others were fighting training dummies and others were fighting with each other and a lot more.
He and his cell mates were lead towards a sled with weights on and were bound to it. Jack was the lead dog not that it mattered a lot because the purpose of the exercice was to get the sled as far as possible. Sounds easy right but it is not with 1000 pound(453,59 kg) attached to the sled.
After what seemed like a eternity the man in charge made them stop and untied them from the sled and gave them a short pause of 8 minutes.
"Is it me or do they put more weights on that stupid sled?" Hunter asked while patting heavly.
"I honestly wouldn't know but it feels like I am carrying Big Max!" Runner said while laughing.
"Hey, That was under the belt. Like the humans say." Big Max said while laughing.
"You first need to find a belt before he can hit you under it." Prof said while giving Big Max a friendly smile.
"Do you guys have any news over the team's for the fights?" Storm asked.
"Last thing I heard. They would tell the teams after today's training." Big Max said.
"I hope I am with you guys." Runner said.
The others agreed with him and then they were called again to get to the next exercice. This time it was the harness with the weights. first was Jack and Storm. When the two were in the harness their supervisor went to get something.
"Want to do who can get the weight to the top as first?" Storm asked.
"Sure, I need to regain my honour anyway after you decided to make me fall on my face before those females.
"Oh, yes I remember your facial expression was priceless when you found out those girls had seen you trip." Storm said while having trouble to not break out laughing. causing Jack to frown a little bit.
"You two are truly amazing even before you guys need to pull big weights you guys find something to laugh about." Prof said.
"That's exactly how Stormy and I are other people would concentrate on the weights we find something to laugh about instead." Jack replied.
Their supervisor had come back and signalled the two to start pulling. Both Jack and Storm needed to give everything they had but eventually Jack managed to get the weight to the top as first with Storm closely behind him with a couple of seconds difference.
The two were untied out of the harness and Big Max and Prof went next and as last ones Runner and Hunter. The rest of the morning the did various amount of exercices. When it was lunch time they were directed back to their cell. Two men came through the hallways with a car with a couple of barrels with what looked like some brown substance with meat balls and beans in it. The dogs lined up and allowed one of the man to grab the tube attached to their collar and look on the paper. After that he gave the dogs one by one a full bowl of the substance
They had told Jack that they did that to see which dogs where allowed full provision, who were punished to half provision or who weren't allowed to eat at all during a certain time period as a punishment.
Jack started eating the substance and that it wasn't high quality food or even quality that was allowed to be given to refugee camps was very quick clear. "I better do not get Diarrhea from this food!" Jack thought in himself.
"Isn't it lovely that they give us some high quality meat offal!" Hunter said sarcastically.
"I am so happy that you made that statement after it was already in my stomach!" Big Max said.
The dogs were talking for about an hour until the dog were once again leaded towards the training court.
Training court:
The dogs were once again in the training court. Watching some other dogs while walking over towards the obstacle course.
"Well, This looks like fun!" Prof said sarcastically.
"Is there anything that isn't fun in this place?" Jack asked sarcastically earning him some chuckles from the others.
The dogs arrived at the obstacle course which existed out of some trees you needed to walk over, Some nets you needed to crawl under, some obstacles you needed to jump over and a few tunnels.
Runner went first followed by Hunter, Jack, Prof, Storm and lastly Big Max.
"I hate that course big time it isn't build for big dogs like me." Big Max complained.
"I am with Big Max on this one" Prof said.
"And those weights aren't meant for dogs with a bone structure like mine." Runner complained.
"We have one thing in common beside us being awesome dogs." Storm said.
"And that is?" Hunter asked curiousy.
"We all have shitty humor." Storm said while laughing.
This caused the others to break out laughing and immediately all the dogs that were in the training court looked at them like they were nuts.
"It seems we all also posses the ability to make our self look like complete idiots." Jack added causing him and the others to break out laughing once again.
Sleeping area:
"Well, I always say nothing better than a good laugh." Big Max said proudly.
"Well, laughing we have done plenty today. I am amassed at the amount of stuff we managed to laugh about today." Runner said.
"I agree with him." Jack said.
The dogs saw that the guys with the food cart where coming once again this time with a brown substance with little pieces of meat in it.
When the dogs had each their bowl with the substance Hunter suddenly said. "Well, This looks like Diarrhea!"
"HUNTER!" All the other dogs yelled.
"Thanks for pointing that out before this stuff was in my stomach." Prof said.
The dogs ate the substance trying to think of other things than Diarrhea while eating but how good they also tried. You could read from their faces when they succeeded into that and when the thought of Diarrhea came back because of their facial expression that went from despair to pure horror.
When after what seemed like an eternity everyone managed to eat up their food. They all laid down waiting for someone to tell them the teams after a while suddenly they heard two man coming their way.
The men stopped by each cell and gave the dogs inside new collars.
When the men arrived at the dogs cell. The first man said. "Good these guys will be excellent for team red." "Okay!" The second man said while pulling out some red collars that the two man put on the dogs while replacing their old ones before continuing to the other cell's.
"Well, We are team red it seems." Runner said enthusiastic.
"Finally a collar that fits with my eyes." Jack said earning him some chuckles from the others.
"Oh yeah red team man. I love the sound of it Red team!" Big Max said.
"Yeah, We are the red team and we are going to win this game!" Hunter said.
"Okay, Then let's make a deal no matter what happens we have each others back alright?" Storm said.
The others agreed to that and laid their paws on each other.
The rest of the evening the dogs talked a bit to each other before falling asleep.
