fandomhigh | Fandom Gladiators Part DEUX! - First Period, Friday, 07/26.

The class was still being held in the Danger Shop, and it would still be a baseless competition between a bunch of kids and a handful of adults who should probably know better, but that was about the only thing that was the same with the typical Fandom Gladiators class that Friday, right down to the arena and the woman in charge of the whole thing.

There was still an arena, there was that, at least, but instead of the cheap futuristic day-glo vision that usually greeted them, the class would find themselves in a collusium much more historical, which meant that actual gladiator Rosdias, in all her scantily-armored glory, felt right at home.

"Gladiators!" she greeted the assembled warriors with a booming voice, leaning on a spear. "Prepare yourselves! For this morning we engage in the ultimate battle! Veterans versus novices...versus beasts! Release the lions!"

And that was apparently all the preparation they were going to get before the gates were lifted and the lions charged out, though they were likely not about to be discriminate or biased toward whether they were on the teachers' side or the students'.

Good luck!

Okay.... Okay. Ce'na had to remind herself that these things were all just holos, that whatever those freaky manka cat looking things were, they probably weren't going to actually hurt her.

She wasn't quite as certain about the teachers, though. Her eyes went wide as the cats started to prowl, and she picked up a... a thingy with a handle and a spiked ball at the end, which she managed to get an okay swing at one of the cats with her mace before another one came at her from behind, earning a string of profanity in Ryl as she gave up on fighting and just started to run.

Why was she in this class?!

And though they reminded Sidon of them quite a bit, these strangely stunted creatures had absolutely nothing on lynels, so he felt he was making pretty good progress against some of his own, and took a quick look around the arena to see if anyone else might need some assistance. Teamwork, after all, was crucial! It was not a single Divine Beast alone that would take down the Calamity, after all, but the concetrated effort of their combined powers!

And so he rushed forward as Ce'na started to run and the lion was in quick pursuit, lunging in at just the right moment to crash into the beast, tackling it and rolling with it to impede its path.

Sure, he had a sword, but why use that when he clearly outmatched the lion in sheer size alone?

And that had Ce'na stop in her run, pausing to turn to see what the crashing was about back there and blinking, wide-eyed.

"Sidon!"

... That was about as useful as she was going to be in this encounter, calling out to him in her heavily ~~French~~ Ryl-accented Basic, clutching her... spiky ball thing to her breast. Yes, life was difficult on Ryloth, but a warrior, she was not.

But Sidon was! And he was wrestling with that lion right now until he managed to get on top of it and overpower it and now he punched that lion in the face, and it was very clear that Sidon really had no idea how to really fight lions, but he was doing his best and what he was doing was still somehow managing to work out for him.

And then he remembered his sword and stabbed into what he figured was the lion's heart, and the lion faded and disappeared.

"Ah-ha!" he realized, pushing himself up and giving a victorious pump of his fist. "They'll vanish when vanquished! Marvelous! That will help significantly in the inevitable build-up of the bodies of fallen foes!"

He turned to see if another lion or one of the teachers hadn't taken his distraction as an opportunity to attack Ce'na again. "Are you alright?" he asked. "Look lively out there! They're a rambunctious bunch!"

And it was delightful! Pity it was the danger shop, though, and that no one would really get hurt, so that he wouldn't get a chance to show off the healing magic that he so totally had right now.

"I am fine, thank you," Ce'na called back, ducking her head and laughing a little. "No big, mean cats have managed to get to me so far." And a winning smile before she added, "Thanks to you, of course."

Her hero.

(Her mother would be so scandalized to know she was flirting with somebody who wasn't even a Twi'lek!)

Ce'na's mother could rest assured that this Zora Prince's heart already belonged to another Hero.

But he naturally flashed her a winning smile back. "Think nothing of it!" he declared. "It is my pleasure! We must have each other's backs if we're to win this thing, after all!"

"Of course," Ce'na agreed, and then gasped and dropped her mace. "Behind you!"

Another lion! Say it ain't so!
