Fandom Gladiators Part DEUX! - First Period, Friday, 7/12.

[died8yearsago]

Because smoke-filled skies during the day and creepy-ass nightmare fuel during the night wasn't disorientating enough, Rosa decided this week might be a good week to debut the Sky Track. So when the gladiators entered the Arena that day, they'd find a sort of race track set up for them. Only it was on the ceiling. And upside down.

Of course, esepcially considering the proclivities of certain people to be able to just hang from stuff like it's no problem, upside down racing seemed just a little bit too simple, so Rosa had added another element on the ground, because flanking the whole course were several little turret stations with some guns that might look familiar to those who were in the class last semester.

"This," Rosa announced, "is the Sky Track. It's an upside down racetrack that you'll be harnessed into and have to race each other while upside down. Easy, right?" Well, for some of you, Spider-Man.

"I've broken everyone down into heats; you'll race each other, and then the winners will go up against each other tournament style until there's only one person standing. To make things more interesting, when you're not racing, if you'd like, you can man one of these turret stations and try to make things a little more interesting for our racer by shooting either foam balls at them or water; there are guns that shoot both. Use these weapons to try to impede your competition or help out your allies. Just remember, kids, we totally kicked your butts last week," granted, there had been quite a few more teachers than students due to, you know, dumb labyrinth stuff. "You think you can handle it if we do it again this time around?"

Because, spoiler alert: they totally would.

Group Two: Spectre vs Exterminator - Gladiators, 07/12.

...yeah, Spectre wins this one. Exterminator does not want to talk about it. It doesn't even matter that technically they're on the same team anyway.

At least Spectre here could be a gracious winner. It wasn't so bad if he wasn't actively boasting or anything, right?

He, uh, wasn't going to tell Rosa that he was using this class as training, nope.

Miguel picked up one of the water blaster guns and aimed it at Kanan. Hey, he was a smart man.

Though if he maybe caught Rosa in a bit of it, too...hey, he also had a dumb wicked streak.

Rosa knew she was going to have a bit more of a challenge with this one, especially since the person she thought would be her biggest competition in the first round (hey, Lilac was small and swift and agile, she'd seen it in both that session and that dumb ballet class) turned out to have more trouble with it than she would have thought. So she was determined, and focuses...

...and occasionally hit with water, apparently, so maybe it was a good thing for whoever was doing it that she was trying to not lose that focus because then she might as well just hand it to Spectre.

But...there would be tapes to review later....

After considering it, Amaya would have felt bad shooting at any of the students, and most of the other teachers, but there was one competitor she didn't feel an ounce of concern about hitting with projectiles, especially since she was already guaranteed to be insufferable after making it further than Amaya in the first place.

And if Diaz complained about it? She would just claim she was trying to get a better look at the guns for research purposes. If anyone just so happened to get hit in meantime, well, then, that couldn't be helped, could it?

On the bright side, Amaya wasn't really a great shot, but she was definitely going for quantity over quality with this one.
