'You had something to tell us Dendiki?' Ryan asked.

'Yes' the Namek said, 'I know where the Big Four's coliseum is!'

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and Matt stopped mid way through giving Sam a Senzu bean.

'Seriously?' Matt asked.

'Yeah, I heard Leets say while he was trying to fight off his collar' Dendiki replied.

Matt gave Sam his Senzu bean, and Ryan, Sam and Liam jumped for joy, while Matt lay slightly reserved. Dendiki told them where it was and Ryan started warming up.

'Three down, one to go!' Sam observed.

'Yeah, and they aren't as much as they're cracked up to be, are they Matt?' Ryan asked.

Matt didn't answer, and was looking deep in thought.

'Earth to Matt, can you hear us?' Ryan asked sarcastically.

'Yes I can, and the leader is supposed to be powerful, isn't he?' Matt replied.

'So, the other's were supposed to be strong as well' Ryan answered.

'A little arrogance showing through, eh Ryan' Liam said.

'No, of course not!' Ryan shouted.

Dendiki stood in the corner, frustrated. They needed to act quickly, before the leader realised that Leets had been killed.

'Guys, get going!' Dendiki shouted.

'Fine, let's go Ryan' Matt replied, walking to the edge of the lookout.

'Aren't you forgetting something?' Ryan replied.

'What?' Matt answered mechanically.

'Sam and Liam!' Ryan answered, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Sam and Liam tried to shout in protest, but Ryan insisted that they came along with them. They began hovering, with Sam and Liam still reluctant to move.

'But we get beaten up 90 of the time!' Sam told Ryan.

'Yeah, but you can help us against any Dark Knights!' Ryan told them, and he would hear no more on the matter.

Matt remained silent during the whole process, and remained silent as they flew to the coliseum. They reached the entrance, and walked through a hollow door. The four human remained on their guard, and walked slowly through the dark room. Suddenly, a bright light burst out, and they were in a room, with a machine by a door.

'Welcome to the Big Four's coliseum' a mechanical voice said, 'to reach the main room, you will have to pass through three challenges, good luck…'

Suddenly, the door they came through shut behind them.

'You must pass through to the end, or be trapped in here for all eternity' the voice said again, pleasantly.

Sam cursed under his breath, and shot bursts of energy at the door. None of the blasts scratched the door, and it didn't budge at all. Ryan and Liam both joined in at shooting energy, but their attacks didn't have any effect as well.

'It's no use' Matt said, speaking for the first time, 'we're stuck in here, unless we move forward…'

Meanwhile, in the main coliseum room, Cirion looked at the monitor, and sighed. He knew they would come here eventually, for the Leader had told him so, and he trusted him fully. Cirion hoped that the challenges would hold off the intruders. A Dark Knight ran into the room, and saluted Cirion, before clutching his chest, to catch his breath.

'Captain Cirion, they are here!' he said.

'I know, I can see' Cirion said, pointing to the monitor.

'What do we do?' he asked.

'Return to your post, and do not leave again, and that's an order' Cirion replied.

The Dark Knight ran out, and Cirion walked over to a container. He inputted a password into the machine, '244-3687', and cursed under his breath, when an error message appeared on the screen…

'What do we do?' Ryan asked hopefully.

'We must pay a tax,' Matt answered.

'Of what?' Sam asked, 'money?'

'No, we must make an offer of energy' Matt replied.

'Fine' Ryan said, and walked to the slot, and shot a constant stream of energy blasts into the machine.

Eventually, the door opened, allowing them through, into the second room. Once they were in, the door automatically locked itself, and they were left in the room of the second challenge. There was a metallic cage near the door, which was open.

'Seems like one of us has to be left behind' Sam said, observantly.

'Not much of a challenge, is it?' Ryan asked.

'Yeah, well it would be if it was just one of you' Matt replied.

'So who's staying behind?' Liam asked.

'I will' Matt said.

'What?' the other three said in unison.

'It has to be someone strong, and Ryan's stronger than me, so…' Matt said, trailing off.

Matt walked into the cage, and shut it, much to the protest of Liam, Sam and Ryan. The door opened up, and Ryan, Sam and Liam said goodbye, and ran through the door. It shut behind them immediately. It was the main room of the coliseum, and there were many Dark Knights in the centre. There was a door on the other side of them, which opened up.

In front of the Dark Knights was a man who had a long, flowing red cape, and he was not wearing a helmet. He had shoulder length white hair, and had emerald green eyes. He had an arrogant smirk on his face.

'Well then, I guess you would like to get past us, wouldn't you?' Cirion asked.

'Hell Yeah!' Ryan shouted.

'Well, you've got ten minutes, otherwise this door closes itself automatically' he said.

'Easy' Ryan replied.

'Well, you forget that there is about one thousand of us, and three of you' he said, smirking.

'Bu-'

'ATTTACCCKKKK!' Cirion shouted, and all of the Dark Knights flew towards Ryan, Sam and Liam.

Ryan jumped into the air, while Sam and Liam followed him. Dark knights surrounded them, and started shooting energy blasts at them. Ryan carried on flying upwards, before diving at the door. Cirion kicked him in his back, before punching him in his gut, and then in his face, sending him crashing to the floor. Cirion laughed at Ryan, but Ryan got up, and killed two Dark Knights nearby.

Ryan looked towards the door, and back to Cirion. The door was halfway shut, and Ryan tried to edge past Cirion towards it.

'RYAN!' Liam shouted from a distance, 'RUN NOW, LEAVE US, GET THE LEADER!'

Ryan thanked him for his selflessness, and ran towards Cirion, Cirion dodged Ryan, and Ryan then punched Cirion in his gut. He then punched him in the face and kicked him in his side. Cirion screamed in pain, and swore at Ryan.

'RUN NOW!' he heard Sam shout.

Ryan turned round, and rolled under the door, and he heard screams from Cirion, as well as dying Dark Knights. Ryan was in a small room, with a throne at the end. The leader had a long black cape, with a hood covering his face, black clothes, and black gloves and shoes. He walked down to meet Ryan, and stopped close to him.

'Well, I knew you would finally get here, Ryan' he said calmly.

'Yeah, and now I'm going to kick you're ass!' he replied coldly.

'Ah, but do you not wish to see who I am?' the leader asked, 'I will give you that honour.'

'Fine then' Ryan answered, uninterested.

The leader ripped off his hood, and Ryan could not believe who was staring back at him. He could not mistake the spiked black hair, or the pale blue eyes that stared back at him.

'I…I…It can't be…' Ryan said dumbfounded.

'Oh, it is' he replied.

Ryan could not believe it. It was Matt.
