After the three days of rest were over, everybody has been called back to the arena after breakfast. They waited for a few hours a bunch of nomadic humanoid creatures known as Tarkatans surrounded the arena. Belial, in his tuxedo, appeared at the center of the arena via hellfire. With him was a man in black spandex, a red cape, and red gauntlets.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen," Belial announced, "to round two of this precious tournament. We have sixteen fighters left in this competition, and we must whittle them down to eight this week. As you may have known, some losers have died, others still here among you, but the deaths were not in vain. They were noble warriors who fought their best fight, and their last.
"And now for the fighters who will compete in round two. Spawn, if you will." Spawn handed Belial a list of the people fighting in Round Two. Belial put on his reading glasses and read aloud the names on the list.

"In about an hour, the first match shall begin," Belial concluded. "Until then, you are free to roam the island." Belial then disappeared via hellfire.
Spawn sighed. "I don't get paid enough to do this," he commented before walking away from the arena with the Tarkatans.
