Gladiator Royale! (Part 1)

(As tomorrow approaches, the time was now 10:00 AM in the morning as the civilians of the Dawn Region were in anticipation to one of the biggest royale events in Worldly Conquest in the 100th realm, the Colosseum Kingdom as Princess Kyilei was preparing to partake in the event as well as Imani and Yinlong. Meanwhile, Princess Kyilei was hugging Yinlong's arm in excitement as she was in a good mood while Yinlong was embarrassed but refuses to show any reaction while the three walks down the Colosseum Kingdom.)

"Kyilei: Yinlong! Are you hungry?"
"Yinlong: Not at the moment, princess. Ms. Imani?"
"Imani: I have no need for replenishment by food."
"Yinlong: Oh? How do you gain energy then?"
"Imani: Just by fluids and good night's rest."
"Kyilei: Imani is a very unique Guardian, she trained her own body to neglect food as nourishment but instead take drinks instead!"
"Yinlong: How is that even-"
"Imani: -It's a self-taught technique, I'm not sure you'll survive it. No offense of course."
"Yinlong: None taken!"
"???: Yinlong!!"

(As Yinlong looked in the distance, he'd see Asmedai flying towards him as the two exchanged a hug and a smile.)

"Asmedai: Yinlong, you're okay...! It's been so long since I've seen you.. When I heard you were eliminated from the Tower of Combat, I froze up..."
"Yinlong: I'm quite okay now, Asmedai. I'm here to support you."

(Imani and Kyilei were blushing with their mouths covered at the sentimental moment between the two.)

"Yinlong: Hey cut that out! Asmedai is my friend, I owe him after he covered for me during the Tower of Combat."
"Kyilei: Well Yinlong, I can see you pull in the right crowds.. Come to think of it, where's that Animatronic?"
"Yinlong: You mean Primus? Me and him don't actually talk, but we're acquainted."
"Asmedai: ...! Speaking of Animatronics, Yinlong, I should actually warn you on something.."
"Yinlong: Hm?"
"Asmedai: While you were recovering from your loss, there's been a certain Animatronic looking for you to fight you!"
"Imani: ..."
"Kyilei: Uhh.. D-Dare I ask who this person is...?"

(He'd lean into the three's ears and whispered her name.)

"Asmedai: ...Rosemary."

(Imani and Kyilei were immediately shook up their spine as Asmedai's mouth was suddenly covered and Imani immediately gripped the handle of her sword as she kept her guard up while Yinlong was confused.)

"Yinlong: What's.. going on..? Who is ro-"
"Asmedai: SHHH!!! Come on..!"

(As Asmedai leads the three into his private locker room and surrounds the room with a barrier of sound-cancelling aura, they were free to speak freely.)

"Asmedai: Sorry about that Yinlong.."
"Kyilei: R-ROSEMARY... is.. c-coming after... Y-Yinlong...?!"
"Imani: ..."
"Yinlong: Okay, who is she?"
"Asmedai: She's a 5th Generation Animatronic, among the top ten players in today's world... There's not a single Militia Captain, Stray or Clan Leader who can't say her name freely. What's worst, she's a warmongering Clan Leader...!"
"Kyilei: That's not all.. According to the Dawn Kingdom Archives, the Dawn Region was once invaded by Rosemary... Did you ever notice the wide and massive crater..?"
"Yinlong: ...?"
"Kyilei: ...That was the Dawn Kingdom, 57 years ago..."

(Yinlong then begins to sweat as he looked down at his hands.)

"Kyilei: In one strike, she eliminated everyone in the kingdom... Even my ancestors. My parents were saved, thanks to Imani here."
"Imani: ...She's a deadly force. Yinlong, battling her is a ticket to certain death."
"Yinlong: I'm aware, just by hearing this information.. During the Tower of Combat, it was the first fight I've had against other players in a year. Facing Rosemary... is definitely a challenge. But, she won't be able to kill me easily. If I ever fight her, I'll just go all out. No exceptions!"

(Meanwhile in the Animatronic City Realm and inside the "Technodome" of the Animatronic Boxing Arena, fans were cheering loudly as the fan favorite champion named Hammer has entrapped his opponent Bracer in the corner as Rosemary wearing a fancy brand of formalwear in the VIP stands was watching the match after placing a bet on Hammer to retain his belt.)

"Female Servant: Lady Rosemary, you have a visitor?"
"Rosemary: ...Send 'em in."

(Entering the vip room was one of Rosemary's trustworthy scouts in her clan, returning with news on incoming raids.)

"Rosemary: Speak."
"Male Scout #1: Lady Rosemary. According to my exploration research, there are three raids that are bound to reopen momentarily around the end of the Gladiator Royale."
"Rosemary: And they are...?"
"Male Scout #1: ...Buddha, Animatronic and Human."

(Rosemary then squeezes her glass of wine smirks with a bloodthirsty smile.)

"Rosemary: I see... So not only has the Origin Core been founded, the Hand of the Homosapien has been found as well...? Hm.. I'll put Yinlong on hold for now... This is my chance to shatter a new record.. I'll surpass the levels my master has reached and I'll make those bastards pay for taking him from me.."

(Rosemary pulled out a worn out and discolored photo of her and Sinner, currently known as Yinlong as she wished to see him again someday.)

"Rosemary: I don't care how many I need to kill. I want every bastard dead... I want them to pay for taking my master away from me!"

(With the glass of wine shattering, the champion Hammer uppercuts the head of Bracer off the body and into the middle of the ring as Bracer's circuits has shut down, forcing the body to collapse. The fans roar in excitement as Hammer retains his Animatronic Boxing Championship and Rosemary sneers in anticipation to fight in another raid. As time passes back in the 100th realm, the Colosseum Kingdom, floating cameras descending by the Counsel of Origin were recording the very stadium the 6-way battle royale will take place.)

"Female Announcer: LIVE from the Colosseum Kingdom in the 100th realm, we welcome visits home and afar to the grandest event in all of Worldly Conquest, the Gladiator Royale!"

(As fans from across and wide and spectators chant in anticipation, Yinlong, Imani and Kyilei were seated in reserved seats as most in attendance remembered Yinlong from the Tower of Combat.)

"Female Announcer: With our six contestants ready to continue their battle ever since the Tower of Combat in moments, we'd also like to announce our sponsor, The Old Realm Post! Need highlights on the top story? Read the Old Realm! Oh! And here comes our contestants right now!!"

(Fans then immediately began to cheer as all six contestants were entering the colosseum. Entering the stadium third was Asmedai in a custom made clothing, layered with lightweight armor to withstand powerful assaults as he then delivers a quick prayer to activate a 4 star passive, Tranquil Strikes, allowing Asmedai to multiply his bow, arrow and sword damage for every successful hit. Entering the colosseum fifth was Rakuzora with another confident laugh as all six of his arms were crossed and his aura remains powerful as ever.)

"Rakuzora: HAHAHA!!! MAY WE FIGHT HONORABLY IN BATTLE, COMBATANTS!"

(Rakuzora then juggles six different weapons before storing all six in different sheathes and handles, wearing a ripped and ruined medieval attire. As all five contestants enters the stadium, one last contestant remained as all has fallen silent to the massive pressure of aura entering the stadium. All five contestants then stares down Deuliox as fans cheers loudly for the #1 strongest in Worldly Conquest today.)

"Asmedai (Thinking): ...I don't know how I somehow survived... I made it to the final six of the Tower of Combat... If Yinlong was still in the fight, we'd fight together... For now, I'm going to win on his behalf! However... That's easier said than done..."

(As Asmedai stares down Rakuzora and Deuliox, the two powerhouses of the entire fight as a see through barrier for the audience was placed as Yinlong clasped his hands together and gives a prayer for Asmedai.)

"Female Announcer: And now ladies and gentlemen, the rules! In the Gladiator Royale, this will be an all out brawl, allowing all six combatants to battle to their heart's content! However, the opponent must be eliminated either via ring out or K.O of the opposing contestant!"

(As Asmedai then activates his race's second awakening, he'd prepare to fight, unaware of the slaughtering that is about to commence of just six contestants.)

"Female Announcer: Let the Gladiator Royale... BEGIN!"
