"d.a.m.n, that fight was amazing!"

"Right! Rex is awesome, no mercy at all!"

"Yeah, he"s pretty cool!"

"But Ponytail, on the other hand, didn"t finish off any of his opponents."

"Now that you mention it..."

"He must be new here as well, maybe he"s not yet used to the taste of blood?"

"No, maybe he"s letting his opponents live so they coud get stronger to try to beat him and that motivates him to get stronger!"

"Ehhh! Coud be possible!"

"Yeah right!"

-While the ring was under maintenance, the people from the audience had their own little conversations about the partic.i.p.ants who would be fighting each other in the finals.

-The waiting room...

-With his bow in one hand and a screwdriver in another, with a whole lot of spare parts all over the flour. Archer was performing his own maintenance on his bow, while the footsteps from the corridor got only louder and louder as the person was making his way towards him.

-And as the footsteps stopped, the man entered the waiting room with a loud yawn and his arms in a stretching position. Of course, it was Rex, from all the fighting he"s done today, he got pretty tired and was now planning on taking a short nap, before his last fight today.

"Oh? so your here as well?"

"This is the waiting room, is it not, where else would I be?"

"I figured, since you care so much about your opponents, that you"d be with Eyepatch checking that he"s not dead. It was a pretty close one!"

-Slightly starting to get irritated, but still, keeping his cool, Archer replies...

"Unlike someone, I prefer not to hold the hammer of destiny in my hands and decide who dies, unlike you!"

"The hammer of destiny, huh!"

"It"s how I like to describe someone who decides if others live or die!"

"hah, listen here Archer! I simply don"t care anymore. I"ve been accused of so much s.h.i.t in my life, that I lost track of all of them, If you get in my way I won"t hesitate to kill, and that"s all!"

"So, your just a murderer who doesn"t care about the fact he is one."

"Well your kind of right, but just be happy your not a girl, with that pretty face of yours. If you were I wouldn"t wait for the fight to start to kill you!"

"What"s that supposed to mean?"

"Not your problem, Well I"m going to sleep until the finals start!"

-Ending their little chat and taking his jacket off, he placed it under his head and lied on the bench on the side of the wall. Closing his eyes and going to sleep.

-In the Infirmary...

"Looks like Rexes fight is over, and surprisingly he won!"

When all of us where in that room together, Bear was definitely the strongest one from all of us! Archer was a close second. If anything I"m somewhat glad I didn"t have to face those two!

"Your wounds should all be heald now, so leave!"

"Huh, thanks doc!"

This is amazing! The body that was previously destroyed and slowly recovering, has been completely restored. All of my wounds and injuries are gone, the scars remain, but that is a small price to pay.

"Those drugs are pretty amazing!"

"...That"s what they all say, but you don"t know what they"re made out of!"

"..."

Anyway, I better get ready, after the finals are done, I"ll make my move!

-Finishing with wrapping his body with bandages, he stands up from the table he was sitting on, and take Kanashimi before saying his goodbyes to the doctor and leaving the Infirmary.

"Now then, no matter who wins, that money is mine!"

-Now we change locations to the Colosseum"s Exclusive VIP room...

"It seems like we didn"t need to interfere, he won all on his own!"

"Of course he did, he has amazing strength. The only problem would have faced was that Bear guy from the last round, but Rex took care of him!"

"Yes, but just like Bear, Rex as well might be a problem for Archer. He proved himself more than worthy enough of an opponent in the last round!"

"Hahahahahaah Don"t worry Dworfy, he won"t be a problem. I"m sure Archer will win, just like in the previous rounds!"

"...Well, if you say so."

"Of course, and when he wins I"ll break that spirit of his like gla.s.s, and turn him into my loyal pet!"

These kinds of opportunities come very rarely, to have someone unknown of the smell and taste of blood, someone, so pure... It would be my pleasure to be the first one to taint him!

-The waiting room...

"Znznznznznz!!!"

-Rexes snoring coud be heard through the entire room, his bad sleeping posture and sleep talking about cat"s were also annoying, but even more annoying than that was the phone that was ringing. Archer"s phone to be exact!

"Znznz..."

"Yes!"

"Yo, how"s it going?"

-A young man"s voice was heard coming from the other side of the phone, while light conversations and disputed were happening in the background.

"Don"t give me that, I know you guy are watching from the crowd!"

"d.a.m.n! busted huh!"

"Anyway, what do you want?"

"Nothing much, just wondering how you were doing?"

"It"s going well for now!"

"Dang! anyway, Neigher Giorio er Rinella, couldn"t arrange right full united licenses! Too bad!"

"...Yeah too bad, thanks for telling me, We"ll meet up after this is done."

"Yeah, yeah, as promised."

"Need anything else?"

"Hmmm, let me think, maybe some cash!"

"Well, bye then!"

"wai..."-Call ended!

-Archer ended that call from his supposed friend quickly, like he couldn"t wait to do it. But the call had another hidden message behind it, one that only Archer coud understand.

D. A. N. G. E. R. C. A. R. F. U. L.

Danger and Careful, I guess they found something. Doubt it was meant for Rex, then the person they must have referred to...

-The ma.s.sage Of "Danger" and "Careful" was cleverly camouflaged in the first letter of each word that The person on the other side of the phone said. It was meant as a warning that someone other then the gladiators from the fights were faking moves at him. An outside force interfering!

"AND NOW MY DEAR AUDIENCE, WE HAVE THE FINAL MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT!"

"Huh, huh, ...I guess it"s starting huh!"

"I hope you had a nice nap, becouse now... things are about to get real!"

-Taking his newly rebuild bow and standing up from the dirty and cold flour, he was sitting on, Archer offered Rex word"s of good luck for their fight and Exited the waiting room, making his way towards the Ring.

"Good luck... f.u.c.k if you"ll manage to do anything with that! being smart and resourceful is the only way you"ll achieve anything in life!

-Rex put his hand in his pocket and reached for a small injection that was hiding inside.

"Ah, there you are!"

-The injection he took out was something he managed to steal from the infirmary. A small tube with the needle needing to be attached, and on it, it said "Ww16". The name was a one he recognized, it was an adrenal busting drug more frequently used in the underworld.

"You should give me the edge I need!"

-Next, he pulled out a needle and put it on the tube with the drug. He stabbed it into his left arm while trying not to let out any noise, as the liquid from the injection entered his body.

"d.a.m.n, I really hate needles!"

-He stood up from the bench he was sleeping on just moments ago and made his way towards the Ring. In which Archer was already waiting for him, and he wasn"t the only one.

"Wooooo!"

"Let"s go, beat him up, Rex!"

"Show him who"s the daddy!"

"Rex, Rex, Rex!"

-Their cheers were loud and clear, they coud be heard throughout the entire Colosseum. They showed support for the fighter they wanted to win, well the reason why they showed the support was becouse prior to the battle they made bet"s on who would win, and for now it was thirty percent Rex, and seventy Percent, Archer.

-It was a smart way for the owners of the colosseum to get the money they would give to the winner. When people place their bets, fifty percent goes to the people who bet on the winner, The million goes to the tournament winner, and the rest to the colosseums Manager and the people running the tournaments. Aka the Mafia.

"And there we have our second gladiator finally entering the ring!"

"But for the finals, we"re going to have something different. We always experiment and try finding things that you people love watching so we can make the experience more enjoyable!"

"The previous round may have been deferent but the fights were over before the roof managed to squash anyone, and in one instance it was completely obliterated by a ma.s.sive Wyvern!"

"So to save money and make our"s slaves... I meen workers job"s easier we"re going to have something old fashioned but still interesting to watch, Now if you would please Enter the circle in the middle."

-Both of them listed to Dwarfy and walked toward the circle that was one meter wide and drawn in the middle of the ring. As they entered it they felt slight heat warming their feet, and the longer they stayed in the circle, the hotter it got!

"Aww!"

"What the h.e.l.l is this?"

"Good It works, for the final round the Gladiators will fight in a ring that will throughout time only heat up, from the center outwards. The longer you spend in the ring the hotter it gets, to the point, if you"re not careful it coud melt your shoes as well as feet!"

"d.a.m.n, that kinda awesome!"

"Yeah, sound Interesting!"

"Ok, let"s see this!"

"I"m glad you"re excited, so with no further delays... Gladiators fight!"

-The final of the tournament is something that everyone is looking for the most, as the top gladiators that survived the previous battles are facing each other head-on in order to be at the top and maybe someone amongst them might even become the next Gladiator King!

-This battle Between Rex, Rank B, and Archer, Rank B was something that coud go in both directions, the audience though. They were both first time fighters in the colosseum and pretty skilled ones at that.

"Ok, let"s start this!"

-Rex, announced while pulling his hands out from his pockets, and beginning to run in Archer"s direction, with the intent of throwing some fake punches so he coud distract him while in reality he would kick and destroy his bow.

"Try this!"

"Somehow managing to be faster then Archer"s scenes he got close enough to him so that he didn"t notice and landed a straight punch to his head!"

"Ahh!"

d.a.m.n, I got distracted!

"What"s wrong, you never lost focus like that in your previous matches!"

"Sorry, you couth me in a bad time, I promise you it won"t happen again!"

"You seem too sure of that!"

"There is a reason for that!"

-Archer while having the opportunity took his newly modified bow and started bending it. There were a lot of wires and metal pieces added on his bow, it resembled something out of a videogame, which led most to think it was for the aesthetic, to simply look cool. But there was an actual reason for it!

-It didn"t take him long and after he finished, from that one longbow he had, he transformed it into two guns sized crossbows, each made to work automatically, and modified for his ability "Mother Arrow" By Archer himself!

"Beter said, Two reasons!"

"Haha...Well s.h.i.t!"

-Suddenly the fight took a turn for the worst. Not being able to fire attack in two different directions Rex"s chances of winning got even lower, while Archer was armed with two crossbows he was empty-handed. That only made him fear the end result of the battle, but that fear is what will empower him and give him a fighting chance!
