Ajay leapt away from the charging tigers and ran across the arena dodging poorly aimed bullets as he went. He turned and threw a grenade he found before and the shrapnel cut into one of the tigers and the others became afraid and decided to go after other prey.

Ajay saw over twenty fighters running out with their guns blazing. Of course they did not fire on each other they had bigger targets. Instead for obvious reasons they attacked the Tigers. One was full of bullets by the time they had to reload but the final one which was only scratched bolted at them and tore two apart with one leap. The others became terrified and ran. One fighter dropped his magazine in panic and when he turned and tried to fire no bullets came out of his gun. His screams shocked Ajay more than anything he had heard before. The Tiger tore into the man and began to feast on the corpse while Ajay crept behind.

Ajay grabbed a large knife from one of the corpses and climbed up a barricade of barrels and boxes. The Tiger turned at the last moment to see Ajay plunge his Kukri into the Tiger's skull. It flailed and attacked him eve as it's life ended.

Before the Tiger died it gave Ajay a large scar on his shoulder that began to bleed. He quickly ripped cloth off of a dead fighter and made a makeshift bandage while continuing to fire on his enemies.

After the slaughter ended five fighters were left alive, they saw Ajay and one holding a Molotov cocktail ran at him. After fighting tigers men were not so terrifying and he took a deep breath and fired one round from his AK going through the man's hand and breaking the bottle quickly setting part of the Arena on fire and immolating three of the fighters.

The last two ran in fear pounding on the gates to open. Ajay aimed and squeezed the trigger, but he was out of ammunition. He gave a howl of annoyance and pulled his pistol out from his belt and marched over to the survivors.

"Please don't kill us please have mercy."

Ajay said nothing and fired one round into each of their heads ending the tournament. He looked up and saw the entire arena chanting his name and stamping their feet in approval. Noore was not so excited and spoke through her teeth into the microphone "Ladies and gentlemen of Kyrat I give you your new champion Ajay Ghale."

The crowd continued to roar and someone started to chant "Ajay Min. Ajay Min." Pagan Min did not care about his surrogate son being ceremoniously given his last name and looked at Noore with rage "You are lucky he lived if not I would have killed you."

"Fuck off Min I still want my family back." Pagan gave a false smile "Once this conflict with the terrorist is over we can but you know the roads are too dangerous for such precious cargo."

Pagan Min stood up and with his Royal Guard marched down to the arena to greet his surrogate son. Ajay was busy cleaning off his blood and that of others when he saw Pagan. "Well done my boy, that did not go according to plan but you succeeded anyway."

"Now will we take down the Golden Path?" Ajay began to hate them and had never even met one to his knowledge.

"In due time we need word of your exploits to spread to our enemies first, while you are waiting I want you to go to the Ghale Estate and if you will allow it for your home to become a base of operations for the Royal Army in the South. Then once we are ready you and my General Yuma will lead the Royal Army against those terrorist."

"Gladly."

"Good, good Ajay, I have a buzzer ready for you, there is a squad of my soldiers waiting for you here." Pagan pointed at a part of the map and circled it with his pen. "From there the estate is in this area. Good luck son."

They went outside the arena with the crowd continuing to chant many of them thinking to themselves they should join the Royal Army so they can fight alongside such a warrior. "So my boy how was it fighting Tigers?"

"Now the Taliban seems a hell of a lot less intimidating to me." Min smiled and hugged him "That is the point my boy, you were a soldier going in there but you came out a legendary warrior. There is a hero in Kyrat's myths that you share certain similarities to, Yuma would approve. Now hop to it lets get your home back."
