Fandom Gladiators; Thursday, Third Period [07/14[.

The Gladiators would come into the Danger Shop that day to find a large foam pyramid at the center of the arena, so if anyone was wondering what they might be doing for this week's challenge, Rosa might let you skip wearing the helmet this week because there was clearly nothing up there that needed to be protected.

"Alright, Gladiators," she nodded once they all seemed settled and geared up, "this is the Pyramid. The goal is simple: get to the top. But, of course, it won't be that simple. Sniper. Crocker or whatever name he picked assuming they were there. Based on your performances last week in Human Cannonball, you have been selected to defend the top of the pyramid. Do whatever it takes to make sure the other gladiators don't reach the top. We'll be doing rounds of two; the first one to the top gets the chance to compete again for ultimate champion, which...might give you an advantage next week.

"Any questions? If not, Sniper, Crocker, head on up and get ready to defend the territory; the rest of you, get limber, get stretched, and get ready."

Duke was . . . not terribly impressed by that pyramid. There weren't even fake rocks he could throw at people while defending it.

Step it up here, Diaz!

Steve grinned over at him. "Guess we're going to do a lot of tackling people."

He freaking loved tackling people.

"You are way too excited about that," Duke noted.

"I'm the right amount of excited," Steve declared. "No one here ever runs from the cops. I'm out of tackling practice."

Inflatable things were not fair, Rosa! Miguel had to spend as much time trying not to pop them as climbing up them.

The "Captain Tightpants" thing he was used to already.

Steve was far too excited about trying this out after watching the first round go up. He started scrambling immediately, hoping to outrun the defenders coming down for him.

He probably would, unless other Steve managed to cut him off or something. Duke was agile and in pretty good shape, but he was no speed demon. There was no way he'd be outrunning Steve Rogers.

"I'll take the little guy," he decided.

Sorry, Five.

"Right.... this is nothing" Billy said looking up the pyramid trying to figure the best way up. "It's not at all like basic training...."

Not unless your basic training included Navy SEALs jumping at you from four pyramid steps up, no.

"Heads up!"

Very helpful, Steven, truly.

Had anybody said no powers? Nope.

Lana was absolutely shielding herself with the Force.
