Gladiator's Ruling...as the name suggests, its a location within the Mythos Universe in the Olympus Realms. Our group has arrived at the coliseum in order to confirm rumors of a gladiator said to be bearing the mark of the Olympos Kingdom.
"Uh...should we really be going to a coliseum? Isn't it incredibly bloody and cruel?" Jade asked.
"It'll be fine as long as we stay together." Roku said.
"Well I guess there could be worse places. But are you sure this place is shady?" Miles asked.
"I'm sure of it. Even Roku knows." Jexi said.
"Indeed. Those people working in the back...they're slave traders. The coliseum shows are actually a way to show off slaves fighting skill so they can be sold off a soldiers to fight wars in other worlds." Roku said.
"How horrible." Jade said.
"Well...you won't need to worry about it for long. If all goes well...we'll emerge with the descendant and free these slaves." Jexi said as they entered the arena.
"Welcome one and all to today's bloody battle!" the MC said. "Today we have a wonderful treat. In this side…We have the vicious...Manticore!" he said as the cage as a large lion with a scorpion tail. "And its opponent...our current reigning 99 streak fighter….Hera!"
Into the ring slithered in a girl in armor with a snake like lower half.
"A lamia?" Jexi wondered.
"Lamia? That's a type of snake woman, isn't it?" Jade asked.
"Yeah…" Jet said as he saw the Legend World mark on her shoulder. "Wait...is she possibly…"
"Likely. It was said the past kings of the kingdom tended to love all species. Maybe a little too much." Jade said reading into a book.
"Now...the match shall begin!" the mc said stepping aside as the Manticore charged at Hera.
"I will not fall this day. I will live...and make sure all live." she said raising her tail as she slammed it onto the ground as she jumped. She then spun across the air with sword in hand. "Serpentine Slice!" she shouted as she cut the Manticore's head right off.
"She killed it without batting an eye." Jade said.
"She's likely fought in the arena several times before. Makes sense since they said she has a 99….rather 100 victory win." Jexi said. "She's definitely someone I like."
"Uh...Jexi...Hamster Locksmith just finished its job." Miles said checking his monitor.
"Perfect." Jexi smiled standing up. "Then its show time."
"Now...with 100 wins, its Hera! Now...who would vouch to say she is free?" the mc asked.
"Yeah...I think I can vouch for it." Jexi said standing up on the edge. "In fact...I say every fighter you got enslaved deserves to go free." he said as the gates opened as beings of various species slowly exited their cells, now free of their chains.
"Hey, back in your cages you damn…" A guard said before he was attacked by one of them as they all charged into the arena. As the former slaves caused chaos, Hera looked around in shock at the freedom at her fellow slaves and the at Jexi in awe.
"You are...some sort of god." Hera said.
"Not really. But I could use someone like you following under me. Would you join?" Jexi asked.
"Of course, my lord." Hera said bowing.
"Now...next we should…" Jexi said before they saw a light shining up. "What in the?"
"This light...it feels...so warm." Jade said.
"I can feel something...powerful coming from it." Jet said.
"I...I think I hear a voice." Miles said.
"Hear me! Gather under this banner...join us...so that we may help Gao Mikado and achieve victory!" Batzz shouted.
"Batzz?" Jexi questioned.
"Jexi...you have heard the call. You must head back." White's voice said.
"But what about the other descendants?" Jexi asked.
"No need to worry. This call is reaching out to them as well. All ten will be gathered." White assured.
"Okay." Jexi said. "The time is come." he said leading the six behind him. "We're going back...to Cho-Tokyo!"
