Falling.. I fell through space, before falling through another portal, and then finding myself falling through the sky. I engaged my thrusters in time to land softly on the ground.. In the middle of a trash heap. I next willed my suit back into it's Blue Arrow form, just in case there were inhabitants.. I didn't want to scare off the locals. I pulled my hood down and removed my mask. I then turned and saw a city in the distance. I decided that would be my destination. However before I could set out a group of weirdly dressed people approached me. "Food?" The leader asked. I eyed them up, there were only 6 of them, easy enough fight. So I responded "Fighter. Just don't give me a reason to be." They continued to advance, brandishing their makeshift weapons.

I shrugged and pulled my bow off my belt, pressing the button it sprung out into it's full Okienda Kestral bow form. I then rushed forward, sliding forward on one knee, taking out the first attackers knee with my bow. I next twisted and swept a guys feet out from underneath them with my leg. I then came up standing and began to parry and strike each oncoming blow. I was trained, they were not. The fight was over pretty quick, no one died, but they were beaten pretty bad. I was then aware of some sort of flying ship or something hovering above us. A woman said "Now that was a show, you are quite the fighter aren't you." I turned. The woman had white face paint on her face, but she looked human. I was cautious.. Although she seemed to speak in more than one word syllables so maybe she would be able to help me "I've had some practice. Where am I?" She smiled "You're new home" That was when suddenly I was covered in an electric net of some sort. The weight of it brought me to the ground. I suddenly felt sorry for every being I had ever faced... being electrocuted HURT. I didn't even have time to wonder why I was being hurt by electricity, nor enough time to touch the lightning bolt to morph back into the Iron Thunder suit. Before I knew it I was out cold.

I came to. Darkness was all I could see. A Calm female voice said 'Fear not, for you are found, you are home and there is no going back. No one leaves this place, but what is this place?" I was shackled to a chair, still groggy. A struggled a little to no avail. "The answer is, Sakaar." Now a hologram light show began 'Surrounded by cosmic gateways, Sakaar lives on the edge of the known and unknown. It is the collection point for all lost and unloved things, like you. But here on Sakaar you are significant. You are valuable. Here you are loved. And noone loves you more than the grandmaster. He is the orignal, the first lost and the first found. The creator of Sakaar, and father of the contest of champions." the voice continued. I saw images of fights. "What the..." I muttered. The voice continued "Where once you were nothing, now you are something. You are the property of the grandmaster. Congratulations you will meet the grandmaster in 5 seconds, prepare yourself." The images moved faster, like I was shooting forward. I struggled more, trying to break a bond so I could touch the lightning bolt on my chest to break to safety. I could not. "You are now meeting the Grandmaster!" The light show stopped.

I was in a throne room. A man with some facepaint was standing in front of me. An older woman to his right, and the person who kidnapped me to his left. "Why thank you 142. You said this one was a fighter right?" She nodded "Yes. Not a contender mind you, to be honest I am not sure what he is... but he took on 6 trash heapers like they were nothing." He smiled "I'll take him, pay 142 whatever she wants." He then looked at me "What is this?" I demanded, struggling more against my bonds. He walked forward "uh uh. I ask the questions around here gladiator. What I want to know.. Is who are you?" I looked at him. "My name is David Shuter Razacrazer, Son of Zeus, Lord of the sky. You do not know what you are dealing with. Now I demand you release me at once!" I finally broke free of one shackle. But before I could press my lightning bolt I felt electricity stab into my neck and run through my body. I began to convulse uncontrollably. I felt the shackle magnetized back to the chair then the pain stopped. I was panting. I looked at the Grandmaster as he held a handheld device which seemed to power whatever hurt me. He said "Handy little thing isn't it? Keeps my fighters in line. Anyways, that name of yours.. It is a little long, so I'm just going to shorten it to Lord of the sky. Now let me explain something to you. You are now in my contest of champions. Want to live? Great! Fight and win, then you live! Now to show you to your new home."

Next thing I knew I was pushed into a room. Inside it was a man made of rocks, and a slug with knife hands.. This was when I noticed I didn't have my weapons on my anymore.. Even my wrist blades. The Rock introduced himself "Welcome, My name is Korg, I'm kind of the leader in here, this is Meek. This isn't all of us but it's the fun ones!" I cracked my knuckles "What I understand is we're fighters or something?" He shrugged "Well yes. Most of us fight the smaller fights, warm up the crowd.. However if you want to try to leave you can fight the Grandmaster's champion.. However no one survives five seconds with him, smashes you up into tiny little bits he does., no weapon can penetrate his skin and his is stronger than any man I have ever met.. And boy is he big. Bigger than I am even. No, I think you should get used to fighting the small fights." I shook my head 'I NEED to get out of here. Thor will need my help.. Oliver needs my help back in Star City. I just need a plan."

I took my time figuring out a plan. A day went by. The problem was the chip on my neck, if I tried to escape they would just use that on me. I doubted a shock of lightning would de-activate it. I needed to get my hands on one of those hand held devices. Before I could come up with a plan we were whisked away to a staging area. Full of weapons. I chose a bow that seemed to snap into a staff.. Much like Clint's bow last year in Germany. I also chose two swords that seemed to collapse into the hilt and attached those to my belt. The Arrows they had were not top notch but they would get the job done. I had to use a really terrible quiver compared to my usual one which may end up effecting my game, however I was confident I could get the job done.

I awaited my turn to fight. It seemed it was going to be 4 of us, each entering from all four sides. The doors began to open. That was when I tied my mask and pulled on my hood. Then when the doors were open I slowly walked out. There was a cheering crowd. I had flashbacks to camp as a kid, the charriot races.. The swordsmanship games. It had been a long time since those days.. I was not a showman anymore. I lived in the shadows and behind a mask.. I wasn't a man of glory anymore.

"Gladiators! You are all seasoned! Yet only one can make it out the victor! My bets are definitely not on the Lord of the Sky in blue over there! No armor? Seriously? lets have some fun! Fight!" The Grandmaster said from his booth. I looked up at him and almost gasped in shock. I saw a man clad in Green Robes... Loki. I couldn't focus on that and had to focus on the fight which had begun. The three fighters ran for the center. I began to run as well, I would be the last to make it into the fray "I see, He plans to just clean up who's left, the chickens way out!" The Grandmaster said. I didn't listen to him. I instead fired two arrows into the middle of the field. "Apparently he can't aim a bow either... I totally overpaid for him" Which got laughs from the crowd. I just kept running. Once the fighters started their clash. That was when I picked up speed, running elven fast. I reached the fighters in seconds. I then dropped to my kneee's and power slid under the fight. I grabbed each arrow and stabbed 2 of the three fighters in the leg, bringing them to their knees. I then twisted and got back on my feet, snapping the bow into its staff like form. I then went to work on them, blocking and weaving around swords and maces. It wasn't long before they were all on the ground knocked out. I snapped the bow back into bow form and looked up at the Grandmaster and Loki.

The Grandmaster leaned forward and was silent for a second before he yelled to the crowd "The Lord of the Sky prevails! Now lets see how he reacts without time to plan." My head snapped as doors opened up and two more fighters entered the arena. One with a sheild and one without. I started firing arrow after arrow at the guy with the shield. He blocked each one, charging closer. I then fired an arrow behind me, appearing not to aim. The scream and thunk of a body hitting the ground told me I hit my mark. I then turned to face the charging shield guy. I snapped the bow into its staff form and charged at him. We met and dueled, sword against staff. He was more skilled than those I had fought recently on this planet.

I proceeded to duck under one of his attacks and ran for a wall. He followed. As I got closer I stabbed my staff into the ground and kept running, pulling a sword off my belt and activating it. I then ran up the wall a few steps and kicked off it, flipping over my opponent, using the sword to cut the straps on the shield so it fell off. I then landed and ripped my staff from the ground, twisting around in one swift motion, striking the guy in the head, knocking him out. I then clipped the sword back to my belt to cheers from the crowd. The fight was over, I had won.

Later that night I stood in our cell, thinking more of a plan to get out of here. That was when Loki appeared "Well if it isn't the son of Zeus. I guess you did not make it to Asgard either." I looked at him "No, I ended up here... and unlike you I am stuck in this cage." He chuckled "ah yes.. I do have a silver tongue as it were. I am currently in the Grandmasters favor. " I looked at him "How are you alive. I watched you die. Gods I was even saddened by it. Yet here you are, same old Loki, tricks and death cheating up his sleeve." He shrugged "I magician never reveals his secrets." I just shook my head "So Loki, Pray tell why you are here." He chuckled "Oh I am not actually here.. If the Grandmaster knew I know you he would have my head, besides I'm surprised you haven't tried to kill me yet" I shrugged "I don't have my weapons." He nodded "Very true.. And I gather you are keeping an ace up your sleeve as it were. Why is that?" I gestured as the electric chip on my neck "I don't know the range. Until I can get this off I am not risking anything." He smiled "Well we shall see. Bide your time Demigod. Continue to win in the arena.. Survive. Maybe I will be able to eventually get that chip off you." That was when Korg woke up and Loki vanished, Korg said "Who was that?" I chuckled, unsure of how to anwser. I finally said "I think, this time... he may be an ally."
