When Beastboy woke up he was in a cell. It was still dark and Beastboy was scared. No one knew what he was doing. He was sure no one even noticed he was gone except Ramona. His doll. When he got home he'd treat her like a queen he'd treat her better than Raven. He'd let her know how much he meant to her. He looked in the glass door. There were seven cages for seven attenders. Worry sank down. He knew he had to win not for his glory or his honor, but for the darling little girl he needed to have home. He paced the floor preparing himself for what was going to go down. He could very well die. He didn't seem to care. If he was the drunk he used to be he'd be numb to everything and just go in and fight.

But now it wasn't the case. He was different, clean and clear. He was a fool for doing this blind, but he knew no one else would be that stupid to go in blind just the way the game master wanted. He needed her to be safe, and him coming in hot and dying for her seemed more logical than letting anyone else do it. He continued to pace until a green woman with a very skimpy outfit came in his cell.

"The man of beasts."

"I am."

"He is ready for your first challenge."

"Is he bigger than me?"

"Yes by about two feet."

"Uglier."

"Well that's not a hard task seeing as how you are handsome."

"And the girl."

"I am her care taker. She isn't harmed. She sent me."

"Why?"

"To give you this." She held out a bracelet braided of blue, her favorite color, green, his skin color, and purple. A color of strength. "It is woven of Moon silk. She told me to tell you she knew you'd be here for her Uncle Garfy. She knew you wouldn't let her down."

"Did she really say that?"

"Is she wrong?" The green woman looked confused.

"No she's far from wrong." He smiled "She's competely right."

She tied the bracelet on. "I do believe she is the brightest star I've ever seen."

"She is."

"You are a very lucky uncle."

"I am."

"Does uncle mean father where you are from?"

"You speak english... You know what uncle means."

"No I do not speak english. The pod does. I speak the tongues of all people who walk in and out of these pods. Your tonuge is my tonuge in this room."

"Ah." He said feeling dumb about his anxious choice of words as she tied his bracelet on tight. "No Uncle means... Protector."

"Where is her father?"

"He's his city's uncle."

"Well she is lucky to have an uncle like you. I wish you luck in your battle Uncle man of beast."

"Thank you care taker of the star."

"That sounds more impressive than garena."

"If you protect her you mean more than your name."

"I'll give my life for hers."

"So Will I." He said "I'm going to now."

"I doubt that." She said and walked out.

Garfield was walked out by two women one yellow and the other pink with strange markings. They tossed roses at his bare feet and waved as the cameras zoomed in on his face. He stood in the arena. "GAME! BRING ON YOUR FIRST TASK."

"Paitents. I want this to last." His voice said over the speakers. Then the floor opened up and he fell through.

Beastboy quickly caught himself and landed on his feet. He stood taller than all the entry ways to the small room. "What the hell?"

"You've got ninety seconds to get to the door. You must use two animal forms to get to your oppinent."

"Damn you!" He grunted and as quickly as he could he slithered through the holes and turned into a mouse to wiggle through the hole in the wall. Just as he got out he heard explosions. 'Fucking great! It's training with Bruce Wayne all over a-damned-gain.' He thought. Then walked in the arena in normal form. "Now what?!" He asked.

"Now me!" A deep brutal voice said while flinging him into the wall.

"What the fuck." He caughed and spat blood. He looked up to see a muscular grey man with a very large club. He tossed it at Beastboy moved quickly enough to get away from the club. He lunged at the guy who was fighting him. He turned his hands into claws and clawed his eyes out blood getting on his bare chest.

The monster, now bleeding threw him onto the ground and took a fist to his chest. Beastboys wind was gone. "Puny beast! You think you can hurt me. You just got an eye. I'm going to take your girl!" He chuckled.

"You think so." He said taking his leg and kicking as hard as he could in his knee cap.

"AHHH." He grunted as he fell.

"You actually think you'd be the one to take me down." He said standing and throwing a hard punch to the mans face. He noticed he was scary, but he was scared from battle. His bones were weaker than what they used to be. He kept fighting him while he was down, and as he got up he wrapped around him and kept pounding.

"GET OFF OF ME YOU PUNY BEAST!" He kept hitting but beastboy moved swift and quick. He used the mans back as a spring and jumped off. "Where did the pu-"

"Right here bitch!" He pushed the kick to his neck, with an ear shattering snap he fell like a limp dog. Beastboy felt a sinking feeling. He just took someones life and had the blood on his hands to prove it.

"SEVEN MINUETS! A NEW RECORD!" Game master screamed. "THE BEAST OF MEN!"

He just walked to the people who were to take him to his cage.

"Don't you want to celerbrate?"

"Take me to see the girl child."

"Of course sir." They took him to the pod where she was being held. She sat there her knees tucked in and singing. She did that when she was scared. It was something that he taught her. He listened to see how scared she was. If she was nervous she would be singing a nursery ryhme, if she was scared she'd sing Garfields favorite song to sing to her. Panic! at the disco Northern Downpour or Nine in the afternoon. If she was petrified. She'd sing Set fire to the Rain so she could believe that she was invinicable

"Sugar cane in the easy morning; wheather vein is my one and only... Sugar cane in the easy morning; weather vien is my one and only... Hey moon Please forget to come down..." She cried "Please don't fall down."

He touched the glass. "Take me too the cell." He said choking on his tears. He couldn't believe he was going to deal with this. Her being captive because of some sin he had done. He couldn't even remember it. He had to let it die. He had to swallow his pride, his anger, his dispair. He had to fight. That's all that there was too it. And when he was done. He was going to kill the Game master. For this he would have his head.
