At the center of the dome we came to a massive forum. All around us citizens gathered in different colored robes. Those around us were dressed in green stared at us as we entered the plaza. Everyone gave us massive space as we entered. The crowd became silent as the consul took his place to speak
"Rome bros, and Rome Bordet's" he paused for impact "I got some cacus to tell you. The Julii have started a turf war with the Aburia" their where boos from all the audience except one area. It was then I noticed the crowed was separated by color.
"The Julii have been so aggressive, we must all crush them all" a man in blue robes yelled from one of the forum steps
"The prophecy, outsiders" people around us started to yell, the crowed suddenly surged around us and grabbed us unaware. We were then drag bodily up the steps
"By Jupiter this man" a purple robe appeared on the forum "struck Cassio with a magic weapon that has disabled him"
"As Apollo foretold us" the Counsel announced "strangers would come and aggravate the turf wars, now by the decrees of Hecate the Julii must defeat them in the arena"
(That Afternoon)
"It's simple we kill the Julii" I told Alice, still playing with the sword they gave me.
"You are big in to the kill thing now" she responded
"I have the memories of an ancient psychopathic genocidal ego maniac in my head what does killing a few space gangster romans matter?" I responded as the elevator into the Arena began to rise "hear have the second Makarov I took, it will be easy"
"I prefer a little less lethal" Alice responded pulling her Taser out of her purse.
"Suit yourself" I replied
Went the elevator reached the arena we saw that an artificial river with sharks and small islands split it in two. On each side was a pile of shields and a few racks of spears. In the bleachers on are side was a mass of different colors. But the other half was a sea of red a thousand strong.
(Two Near Death Experiences Latter)
"It will be easy you said" Alice yelled at me as a spear hit her shield. About 30 enemies were trying to kill us with throwing all their spears. So we took up shields and where as far back as possible in the Arena.
"See these guys are idiots and are not using covering fire to advance" I yelled back, and at that they ran out of spears. One advantage of roman spears like the ones used is they break after one throw so they cannot be thrown back
"Throw spears at the ones trying to cross and I'll get some shots of" I yelled, grabbing a spear and running up to the shore and throwing it with all my strength
The spear flew wildly of mark and hit the sand on the other side. At that I drew one of the Makarovs and aimed at the closest Julii. The bullet hit his shield sending wooden shards into the air. Some of the Julii fell into the water in panic where they were quickly devoured by sharks.
Some of Alice's spears met their mark dropping Julli or knocking them into the water. Every time a Julii fell another from the stands jumped down to take his place. In this manor we were able to keep them of our side until we ran out of ammo and spears.
Then they flooded onto the shore. I drew my sword to meet the first oncoming Julii. Our swords crashed together and mine went flying out of my hands into the water
"What are you doing?" Alice asked as she knocked one Julii into the water and disemboweled another with her sword.
"I'm bad with swords" I yelled as I scrambled backwards to avoid being stabbed. "I practically need to roll a 20 to hit"
"I noticed" she yelled falling two more opponents as I found a shield and tied to smash my opponent with it.
"Boarding" I yelled as I charged with the shield and pushed him into the water.
At that point the Julii where trying to surround Alice.
"We got to Jump the shark I yelled" grabbing Alice's hand
"I thought we already did" she yelled as we leapt over a shark on to an island
We now stood alone her with a sword and me with a shield on an Island surrounded by what now looked like 50 angry Julii
"Now what" Alice squeaked at me
"I have an idea"
