"LET THE GAMES BEGIN!"
The titanic arena shook with the overwhelming blood lust of the crowd, they raised their hands in cheer, in celebration of some barbaric holiday. The 'sport' did what it could to distract the populace from their pathetic lives, it took away their troubles while they basked in the blood and gazed upon the shattered skulls. The rich hid away in their lavish balconies where they placed bets and bid on slaves, it didn't matter who won. 'We all lose, nobody wins at this game.'
Below the beckoning stands, behind the massive durasteel doors, far down the stone halls stood the man, the hero. The Mandalorian.
A crowd favorite, a man who butchered his own team to stay alive. A man who had won countless victories time and time again at the age of only nineteen, an underdog turned local champion. He didn't see the honor in the sport any longer, the promise of freedom slipped away with each passing day. None of these unlucky pawns would ever see the light of day beyond the arena, it would be their life, it would be their grave.
Tor'r stood in line with the rest of the slaves, ready for combat, ready to be slaughtered for the amusement of the masses. Unlike the others however, he would not die this day. He had prepared for over a year now, ever since their return to Loovria, he had memorized everything from the schedule of the cell guards to their preference in food. He noted the hideouts for the rich and the 'head honchos' who called the shots. Some of the others knew of his plan, his chance. They were trust worthy, they would help him escape or suffer the fate he knew rested for him today. Hell he'd wager at least a million credits that they were going to set him up to fall today, big profit, big hero.
Everyone liked to see a hero fall.
The durasteel doors opened and the roar of the crowd filled the stone tunnels underneath the arena. The lines began to march out, march to their doom, Tor'r growled under his breath. It was time.
