"But Miek dies, easy! Somebody open the door! Let me out!" a voice cried out, "You! Brick-man! Knock it down!"

"Sit down," a male voice replied

"You! Fem-god! Break down the door,"

"Sigh, it's useless, bug. There's nothing we can do," a female voice said as Luna opened her eyes. Standing in front of her were two... things. One of them looked like the bug things from earlier and the other was a man, made out of rocks.

The bug-thing paced around the room, saying: "But Miek not a fighter! Miek a hider! Very thin shell! And very- look! That one awake!" as he walked to Lynn. Lynn looked down at her hands and saw that she was chained to the wall. The bug-man had what seemed to be a smile on his face as he walked toward Luna, "You, snap your chains! Free us!" he said

"That's enough, Miek," the female voice said as a woman placed her hand on his shoulder. The woman in question was large, standing at 7 feet tall. She was also very muscular and had what would be described as a graceful figure, E size breasts, big strong hips and rear end, and slightly pale skin. She had long black hair covering one of her purple eyes and a scar on her right cheek. She wore a black leotard with skull-themed armor, silver gauntlets, and armored boots. Miek bowed as he walked away, "My name is Angela, from Asgard," she said

"Asgard?" Luna asked, "As in the place Vikings went to when they died?"

"Yes, but my homeland is for another time," Angela said as she bent down, "you won't regain your strength for a while. A slight side-effect from going through the giant portal in the sky,"

"Where am I?"

"Inside an Imperial Transport. Sold as a slave, same I... and the rest of us,"

"Slave?! I'm not a slave! I'm my own master!" Luna shouted as she tried to pull the chains off. But she couldn't do it, she was too weak at the moment. She then heard someone scoff and turned her head to see another one of those red-skinned men.

"You got something to say?" Luna questioned

"Yes, fighting like this is useless. Those chains are Shadow-forged, in other words unbreakable," he said," besides, you need to save your strength for the games,"

"Games?"

"We're on our way to the Colosseum," Angela said

"And on schedule for our deaths, for entertainment no less,"

"Don't be like that, Laven, at least death is one way out of this place,"

"Easy for you to say, fem-god," Laven replied as he crossed his arms

"But Miek can't fight! Miek hider! Miek die!" Miek said in fear

"Today we'll all be fighters, Miek, and standing together is the only way we'll hope to survive this,"

"You got a plan?" the rock-man asked

"Hopefully, Korg, he does," Angela commented

"I do, actually," Laven answered. Angela raised an eye-brow as Laven walked toward Korg, "We'll use both you and Angel's strength and endurance to our advantage by having you two hold the front lines. Angela will be taking the brunt of the any and all assaults while you provide support by making sure no-one gives her any dirty blows," Laven explained

"I suppose I'm allowed to make dirty blows, though?" Korg aksed

"Yes, you are," Laven replied as he walked to the other side of the room to a grey-skinned man with a pony-tail.

"Hiroim, the tales I heard of your prowess during the Spike-Wars were legendary. You bring obvious skill as well as speed and agility," Laven stated, as a robot approached him

"I, too, am proficient in hand-to-hand combat. I, too, should be on the front lines," it said as Laven placed a hand on its shoulder

"You'll serve best in second position, with me and Hiroim," Laven ordered. He removed his hand from the robot as he walked to Miek, "Miek, you and the other natives will join Elloe in the final position,"

"No, no, no, no!" one of the yellow-skinned natives shouted, "WE OBJECT!"

"We are hived, he is outcast!" another stated

"Have you heard nothing of what I just said?!" Laven shouted, "We fight as a team or we all die!

"You demand too much!"

"Especially for one who has served the Red King," one pointed to him, glaring. There was a bang as a red-skinned woman stood up, "How dare you question his loyalty!" she shouted.

"Commander Laven is only a prisoner because he joined the resistance to fight against that bloody tyrant!" she shouted in the natives' face

"It's alright, Elloe," Laven said, trying to calm her down. Elloe stared at him as she tried to say more, but the look he gave her was enough to stop her from doing so. Laven closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath, and said: "The time for talking is over... the time for fighting is upon us. You, green-woman, what is your name?"

"Luna," Luna replied

"Luna, you will be on the front lines with Angela and Korg. Do you have any objections?". Luna shook her head, making Laven nod, "Okay... we've arrived," Laven said as they all felt the transport stop. Luna felt the chains around her wrists unlock as they fell to the floor beside her. Standing up, she rubbed her wrists and heard a voice from outside of the transport "GREETINGS CITIZENS AND DAVI-GOTS! WELCOME TO THE CROWN-CITY COLISEUM!" she heard as Luna felt the floor beneath her start to get lower. Luna managed to stand on her feet as the light seemed to greet her eyes. Luna looked around to see that it was an arena filled with dirt and dust, "ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE TODAY'S CONTENDERS!" the voice from before shouted. Luna looked up to see a red-skinned man floating around in a machine as he hovered over them from several feet in the air, "THE GLADIATORS! Hoping that they live longer than the last ones," the man said as Miek looked down as a hole appeared beneath him. Miek jumped into the air away from the hole as swords on a rack slowly rose up from the floor. Laven looked at the swords as he was the first to pick one up and the rest followed, except for Angela, Korg, and Luna. Luna continued to look at the man floating in the air as he spoke, "And now, allow me to introduce their opponents! Red, hot, and ready to rumble... THE KRONANS!" he shouted as a giant circle opened up in the arena. It slowly opened to reveal a giant pool of lava, making the crowd in the stands shouting, "No," Korg whispered, "i-it can't be,". Pretty soon, three molten hot rock-men walked out of the lava. Korg's eyes widened as he said, "Marcus?" and started to walk toward them, "Marcus, I thought you were all dead?!" he stated as Marcus struck Korg in the jaw, sending him flying across the arena. Angela's eyes widened as she shouted, "KROG!" and leaped into the fray, cocking back her arm and striking Marcus, sending him flying as well

"ANGELA, DON'T BE HASTY!" Larven screamed. As Luna was about to fight when she felt someone tap her back and looked behind her to see Miek, "Come, hurry!" he said as he pointed at the large door that was behind them, "We escape!" he stated as he seemingly dragged Luna to the door across the arena. Meanwhile, Angela blocked a strike from one of the Kronan's missing an arm as the android from before jumped over her and struck the Kronan in the head. But it did nothing as the Kronan kicked Angela in the knee, bringing her down and backhanded her, sending her to the ground. Angela spat out a small bit of blood as she performed a leg-sweep and tripped the Kronan. Hiroim ran toward an older looking Kronan as he jumped over it and struck him in the back. Yet the Kronan was unaffected as it swung around and tried to hit Hiroim. Hiroim ducked under the attack as he went between its legs and cut said legs. The same happened though, as the Kronan was unaffected.

With Luna:

Luna followed Miek to the giant pair of double, bronze-looking doors as Miek tried pushing it, "Help, Miek! We help others escape!" Miek said as Luna placed both her hand on the door and started pushing

"T-this i-is har-der than i-it looks!" Luna managed to say as she was trying to push it open with Mieks help

"Come on! Open!" Miek said

Back With the Rest of Them:

Larven dodged a punch from the eldest Kronan as he jumped into the air and cut out the Kronan's eye. It recoiled as Laven started running to Krog, "Krog, you need to get up, you need to fight!" Laven said

"N-no, I can't, they're my brothers! I refuse to fight them," Krog replied

"Listen, they're not your brothers, they're things! Controlled by the Red King. As much as it pains you to raise your fist against them, they- GAH!" Laven shouted as a Kronan appeared with a broken sword and stabbed Larven from behind, through the heart.
