Black tooth bandit

"The test will begin shortly. Happy fighting."

Lynx sat there, his face twitching.

"Wolf!" 

"Yes?" 

"Change of plan, we are gonna win this, and then find a way to get the item."

"But?..."

"No buts, it's settled. You're gonna be the opening act, we're consistently swap the middle between the team, and I'll be last."

I look at Jewy, she gives a slight nod.

"I don't know how far I can take us, but I'll do my best."

"The matches are set as a tournament, there will be eight main matches, and six side matches. The side ones act as a redemption, it's a fight between those who lose, and the winner of that fights the winner of the main matches to decide the champion of the tournament. Take that knowledge as you will.'

"It's just four matches to the top we got this." Pheap chimed in.

Hawk glared at him. Rick gave a slow and menacing nod. Jackal stared longingly into the crowd onto some unexpecting man. Timmy sat in his chair shaking.

"Hisss." Snake tipped his hat at Jonny in excitement.

"Okay now that that's decided, Snake i'm putting my trust in you, I don't expect Wolf to fail but good luck." Lynx said. "But no more volunteers after the first round I'll be deciding who goes in second."

"Hisss." Snake thanked him.

A woman steps up on to the stage, she looks down reading from a note card in her hands.

"Izaca team and pandora team, please come up to the stage."

A group of six and a group of eight walk up to the stage. The group of six is led by a knight captain in a stunning military blue uniform, and a box emblem covering any place they could put it. The other group was random, looking more like they scrounged together people they found off street. To my relief the witched Iron Heart was on their team, and to my surprise he seemed to be their captain. 

"I want a fair fight, if, ah, um" She mumbled. "There is no killing allowed, if you do kill someone your team will be disqualified." 

Strangely the iron heart chuckled. 

"Is there something funny?" She asked.

"Don't sweat it, you little beauty, it's nothing." His eyes swept the crowd as if to say if you disagree then I'll be willing to fight. No that's not quite it, those were the eyes of a man who just claimed his property.

"Now will the first contestants come on stage."

A man with a mohawk came from the knight's side. His body is well sculpted, checks and eyes well defined. He looks like he belonged as model more than a fighter. From Izacas team steps up an old man. His hair has long scenes grayed, his skin sages, his eyes droop. He looks old enough to have fighted with the Khan.

"Please announce your names."

The man looked up, as if asking god who he was. 

"I, I'm, no, My name is Alex Stronghold."

That name sounds familiar to Jonny, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"The black tooth bandit." Lynx whispered.

That name. The black tooth bandit, is one of the strongest still living heroes of the Golden Area. Which would make this relic over 200 years old. Something only achievable by the strong and gifted. His story can be found in many history books, he's the man who buried the Khan. The history books never tell you his strength, but one can presume that this fossil has reached stage three awakening. Perhaps he's close to the emperor tier in strength. That kid stands no chance. 

The kid looks not the least bit afraid.

"I'm Jorge Handaze, you can call me a saint."
