Disk of Death (Vodarara Coliseum Battle 1)

This day all started with the Captain, he said he and the other warriors wanted to show me a surprise, maybe just maybe they had a surprise which wasn’t life threatening from me, It would be nice for once if they weren’t lazing about or trying to screw me over.

I first ended up having a party with them in the ship with a great hog roast, now these guys seemed to be actually sharing food for once relatively fairly, even portions them not demolishing the thing in one go.

The Drinks went down and that’s all I remember, I must have blacked out at some point maybe after one or two, I’m sure that stuff tasted slightly off as well. I had at least believed for a while they might at least change for at least one day in their lives……



When I came round my surroundings were unfamiliar, it was dusty and sandy underfoot not something I had really seen before as I had been staying port side on the vessel.

A note was beside me…….

“Vodarara

Vodarara heres your little present, remember if you lose were going to beat the very life out of you because we have bet a lot of money, remember you’re a human poacher no one will remember you if you mysteriously fall into the water on the way back to Imuchakk, you’re not a Imuchakk so you’d clearly just drown….

Best Regards

The Cap”

Vodarara’s inner thought were much like this, filled with deep and strong thought obscenities.

This was the final straw Vodarara was about ready to blow, as usual he was treated like crap but this is a step to far using me a pawn for betting to win money for yourself.

A voice shouted “Your match is up”

With that I headed out into the sunlight……..

The Area surrounding me was a massive ring, walls that scaled high so you wouldn’t be able to climb out with this blazing sun which was close to unbearable, it was filled with near silence as people stared down into the ring as if waiting for something.

Behind me a gate slammed down, the spiked trelice going into the ground, by the looks of it there was now no way out except doing whatever was needed by this.

I had heard about this place when I was around the port, It was called an Coliseum by the sounds of it battles for entertainment took place here and people would come and watch it for fun and to make bets on what was fighting….

Was I going to be fighting an animal for this match or something, for the love of Asisiak please let the Captain have underrated me so I have something easy, but then what could be harder hitting than Asisiak, My god what if it’s something that hits harder, is he intentionally trying to kill me….

Is it going to be a giant bear, wolf wait what about a land variant of a rampaging unicorn o god, don’t tell me these guys had something brought in just to throw at me….

But what appeared in front of me as my eyes began to adjust wasn’t a beast shape at all it was a rather small humanoid…..

My opponent was a rather petite female…. Haha these guys just put me in here as a joke yea it must be a…a…….. o for the love of asisiak that’s completely real isn’t it she’s got a massive metal star, what is it and my luck to be put around women who have some sort of weapons be it metal or their hands.

A voice filled the Arena, “Today everyone we have a rookie of the Arena, straight from Imuchakk, Volunteering for a fight, his nicknames Shrimp”

A mixture of loud booming voices came from a corner of the arena, out of the corner of my vision I could see a mass of blue hair.

“win us some cash”
“don’t disappoint”
“If you lose you gonna get beat”

As such I responded back with my own gesture of “affection” by flipping them off….

“He will be facing Shusara, will he survive against her star”

There was a load mixture of cheers from the crowd, by the looks of it I was against someone who was most likely very well skilled as well had killed people before, but I’m sure this will be less than what The Chief can do…..

“Now let’s get this battle started, it is to the death or to submission”

“FIGHT!!”

The second Fight was called across the arena, a massive tide of shining light and a spray of sand erupted across the floor in my direction…..

It made no sound, but only something reflective shines in the sun…. the metallic …. Star.

I gulped as I threw myself to the side followed by a rapidly spinning spiked star shooting past me, then just as quickly spinning backwards towards to where it had come from.

I felt a tight clench, it seemed there was at least some part of me that was scared as my manhood constricted itself as if to hide from the shredding machine of death that was that spinning star.

The crowd cheered then went silent all but that small section full of my “comrades” the ones who sent me to this deathmatch.

I spun myself to my feet as the star made its return, I had to strike now the enemy was disarmed as there weapon was returning to them, they look rather nimble, a “barbed spitter” good coverage of barbs should cause her some issues, I just have to weaken them if I can put them off enough I should be fine.

The arrow flew through the air as they retrieved there Star once it reached their feet a spray of barbs filled the air and descended down towards her…

(Enemy Uses Deflecting Spin)

With a swift motion the barbs where all turned to dust all 10 of the spray of barbs, made to look like nothing as she spun her star around above her, she’s a monster, this tiny thing is a monster dawned on me of course not as bad as Chief Asisiak but still she’s a monster.

She launched off straight towards me, she moved fast, kicking up little sand.

Next something to delay “Net Spray” it should catch her slow her down and give me distance.

The arrow flew forwards projecting its net, but within a moment the weapon cut the net apart like it was nothing, my arrows weren’t design for fighting people they were designed for animals, I was a hunter not a fighter, that’s why I liked for someone to stand in front of me, they may call me a coward for using a bow but its far smarter to outwit your enemy, there was no cover no escape here not something I planned for.

(Enemy uses Slice and Dice)
She had closed rocketed through the air, swings of the star came in rapidly in towards me, I had to react on instinct, the 1st the 2nd revolving on my feet I could feel the wind being pressed aside by the blade touch my face, I had got lucky with those, the next three nicked at me as I tried to evade.

She moved like nothing id seen before she was defiantly someone experienced at fighting people, I fought animals.

She revolved behind me, she was going after my quiver, I grabbed a number of my favorites they might pull my backside out of this one, her next strikes cut the quiver free and with her final she had brought herself back in front of me as I had brought the arrows to my mouth to hold them between my teeth.

The Star came down, I raised my bow, by sheer luck or the sheer curse of it only being Asisiak who beats me into the ground and the star locked in the outcrops of the bow.

Yet again the material of the Rampaging Unicorn had pulled my arse out of the fire.

Within less than a second of her star being locked, she quickly unlocked it wheeling backwards with outstanding speed.

She had escaped a good distance from me as she brought out her star yet again, she was most likely going in for the kill…..

Booming voices came from the Imuchakk controlled area of the stadium “You lose to her and she and her star will be the least of your worries”

(Enemy Uses Slicing Wheel)

The star came rocketing across the floor towards me, wheeling again.

I was forced to use this… ”Sonic Shriek” as the star closed towards me in its fateful roll, a massive sonic explosion was let out, my ears screamed from the point blank detonation as the a load sonic explosion went off.

The Star consumed by the sonic blast during its roll was launched out of direction losing its spin and embedded itself upwards in the ground of the stadium, that thing had enough momentum to easily kill.

Now this was my chance, I wasn’t one for killing her here and now it was more of her unluckiness that if this situation occurred she would most likely be put down by someone else.

She had a run for her star.

My target was her star, I released my most specialist arrow, ”Maw”, she had yet to get close enough to the star when the first arrow hit tearing a chunk into the centre of the star.

I followed this up with a ”harpoon” at least if this didn’t work she would be separated from her weapon, The arrow smashed through the centre of the star locking its head into it, with that I used the rope, using everything I had to yank the star from the ground, it seemed to give way quickly with lots of momentum that carried it up into the air as it came crashing back down into the ground shattering into pieces.

The star was at last broken, her weapon destroyed.

I was relieved that nightmare was over.

I could hear only ringing however, when I made visual on where the young female was….

Abilites:

The Enemy was now disarmed but she had only her fists, she seemed to stop in thought of action for a moment this was an opening the prey’s thoughts overloaded with stimuli thus causing there brain to begin to freeze up and calculate what to do next.

I was running low of ammunition but in a fist fight, I at least had something that would work like a club of sorts, it would clearly hurt being hit by something made of bone as well as by standard males of many species were stronger than females of their species, however this was a dueller but at least with just having to focus on their hands it would be easier to avoid.

In rapid succession I let out Thermos and Drip Head, mid-air thermos detonated covering the area they were in with a burning paste, this paste was hot and cooled rapidly a bit like candle wax when it pours off a candle, Clothing would should at least preserve them in terms of any scars caused by it.

Followed by the Drip head, nipping them with its tip, it seems this battle has rather exhausted me, fighting people was far more interesting and difficult than beasts, they do not follow instincts as much as animals because once you know there instincts you can track a beast in battle.

Now it would come down to physical fight, it seemed they would be betting their chances physically, they were a fighter so it made sense of sorts to try that against a ranged fighter, but one gathers quite an amount of physical strength from spending much of their lifetime using a bow.

When they met each other in the fray, she lead out with a kick towards the head, Vodarara dropped and twisted to dodge the kick as she brought a kick to his chest, leading him to relax his body taking the hit to lead him into a roll, digging his right hand into the sand as he rolled backwards.

She attempted to close rapidly and bring a kick to his head, Vodarara however had no plans to paly fairly and using the sand as a blinding agent launched a hand full into her face.

Close the enemy’s sense was a good tactic the less they could use the better, Vodarara sent a swift punch to her abdomen, followed by using his bow to trip her and finally by striking her across the head with his bow.

Stop the enemies attacks, pin there arms, using your body weight was the best bet putting your knees on there elbows.

Following up with a punch the throat, knock the wind out of them daze there mind.

To keep them dazed follow up with slamming there head into the floor.

Flat palm to the jaw try to dislodge it.

Follow up with a blow to the left side of there head at there temple.

Then another to the right side of there head to the temple.

End it with a headbutt to make there ears ring.

When the sands had settled, Vodarara was still lightly bleeding from his numerous cuts, his opponent was covered in a paste which had burned into their clothing and quite possibly a broken nose from being struck in the face by a bar of bone.

She seemed unconscious, that should help towards my victory.... He slouched back drained of his energy.....

With that the arena match ended, however my hearing was still rather buggered, it would be a waste to continue beating the opponent down……..

(Match Over)

Later I was greeted by my “comrades”, I had regained my hearing enough to hear what was being said if said loud enough, of course being around Imuchakk there normal voice is just about a shout at least with these guys.

“Well done you won us some cash”

The others left when the captain came to see me at the end.

“Nice work SHRIMP, you made us rich, we can do this again sometime”


All I could think of responding with was….

“Whats my cut of your winnings!”

He followed by saying

“Nothing, unless you want to get beaten up by us later for flipping us off”

Thus Vodarara returned to the cycle of bullying on the ship, this event had changed nothing it just made them all slightly better off, which the spent the most the next evening getting pissed.
