[QUOTE="Walking Dad, post: 4940458, member: 59043"] [b]Caged Fury's first fight in the areana, some time ago[/b] Under the roar of the crowd, Caged Fury entered the arena. He had the dubitious luck to be paired against the arena favourite: ‘Hammer’, a hulking Goliath with the biggest hammer he had ever seen. He had himself not be announced with some ‘exciting’ stage name, thought to be only some fresh blood that will be splattered to jam in mere seconds. Both stand there, waiting to be given the signal to start fighting. The earthy and sweaty smell of his opponent caused Caged’s nose to wrinkle. All he knew was that he had to kill and survive in a way that would please the crowd. He’d never learned how to be an open fighter, nor had he ever cared to. He’d never addressed a crowd of more than a handful of people. Now he was about to kill or be killed for an audience’s amusement. [B]"Fight!"[/B] Fury kept his eyes at the giant and tried to come up with some kind of strategy that would keep him from harm and help him win. [I]I have to act first One blow from this hammer and I will be finished..[/I] He crouched low rolled toward his opponent and planted his right foot in his crotch. The Goliath toppled slightly over but maintained his grip on the weapon. Surprised that that had actually worked, He followed up with a left-handed punch with his cestus that laid the larger fighter out with a huge dent in his helmet’s faceplate. The sun warmed his face as the crowd's applause warmed his heart, and he knew that he could survive this as long as he kept fighting and making the crowd happy. He kept tumbling, nearly dancing around his much stronger opponent, placing a fist, knee or elbow here and there. Suddenly Hammer straightened up, grinned and whispered in a low voice at Fury: [COLOR="Gray"]"Nice show, boy, I will let you live, this time."[/COLOR] Then, with a bone chilling howl he jumped forward, moving faster that Fury had thought it would be possible for such a heavy man. He dodged the first few blows, was forced to parry one with his arms and loosed balance. He barely felt the hit… regaining suddenly his consciousness, he heard the cheering of the crowd. They deemed him worthy to live… Experience in the arena got to be earned in the hard way… [/QUOTE]
