Round 15Commander Sapphiron was incredibly exhausted. He had been fighting the entire other team by himself for the past few rounds now, and his body was feeling it. He knew his end was here, so he stood his shield on the ground and sat on it, placing his hands on his knees to keep his body from falling over, and letting his head and shoulders sag. He took in a few deep breaths, thinking that possibly it would help. It didn't. He resigned to the will of his enemies and waited.
The Yellow Team, seeing such an odd act occur in the Arena, huddled together to make a plan. Was this just a ploy? Did Sapphiron have a final trick up his sleeve, or was he really just giving up? Ranger Crushita drank a health potion to be safe, then Alchemist Elbbsas gave him another, and Rogue Hydra drank his luck potion to help make sure this was indeed the final round. Together, they walked up to their final enemy and surrounded him, waiting for him to try something. He sat up straight, and looked ahead.
"Well done. Now get on with it," was all Sapphiron said. The Yellow Team looked at each other, some with pity, others with satisfaction. It had to be done.
Crushita went first, eager to finally end his rivaly. He thrust his sword deep into Sapphiron's side, dealing 9 damage. Sapphiron gritted his teeth, refusing to show signs of pain.
Elbbsas went next and stabbed Sapphiron in the stomach, dealing 12 damage. He coughed up blood, but remained sitting up.
Hydra walked up, placed the tip of his sword at a spot in the upper middle of Sapphiron's back, and forcefully pushed. Sapphiron made a face as if he were screaming, but no air escaped his lips. Hydra pulled out his sword, blood gushing out from the hole where Sapphiron's heart was.
Commander Sapphiron finally could no longer hold himself up. He tried, but he couldn't anymore. He finally closed his eyes and fell off his shield.
The Host spoke out, "Ladies and gentlemen, our victors!"
The Audience was split in their reactions: some cheered excitedly, some clapped half-heartedly, while others remained quiet. A loud murmur spread across the audience. The word "murder" could be heard several times as a loud chant of "Yellow Team!" began. It seemed there was confusion as some thought the chant was in favor of the Yellow Team's victory while others thought it was accusing the Yellow Team of murdering Sapphiron.
"Congratulations to the Yellow Team for a flawless win in the Arena's first team game," the Host said. As about half of the Audience cheered while the other half booed, the Host added, "Remember that this is a legal game with willing combatants. They all know what they signed up for... And the Yellow Team has rightfully won!"
Fights broke out around the Arena between supporters of both teams. Arena guards rushed in to stop the fighting but were just dragged in themselves. The Yellow Team was quickly escorted off the battlefield where they were given their rewards and advised to safely leave.
"Enough!" yelled the Host.
Some of the fighting stopped just by the magnitude and authority of the Host's voice. Others kept fighting. A row of crossbow-wielding guards appeared from the high wall around the circumference of the Arena while more guards poured onto the battlefield. All fighting ceased.
The Host audibly cleared his voice. "Thank you all for attending today's game at the Arena. Please attend our next game, which will be announced in the future. Now leave."
The Audience slowly made their way out of the Arena, some making sure to stop by the Cashier to collect their winnings on bets.
