  You aren't going to stand for this, being put on display like some animal while the humans throw money around and a large board has odds displayed! Odds displayed.. You look around as see another large metal sheet across the way beginning to rise. "That's right folks, he might be a lot weaker than our lords but he is still a big challenge so we are sending in a big challenger! It's Nate the Sentinel!"
  
  You lash out at the Lords above you but their defenses are solidly in place, you try the human minds, you are certain you can affect them but it seems that the two harbingers are protecting them too. The door does not wait for your tests though and before you have time to try the walls you see a huge beast lumber through. Like a man but grotesquely mutated into something that looked more like an ogre from the old myths than a human anymore.
  
  You can easily beat any mutant you have come across barehanded, even the large dog types but as you size this thing you realize that it must be 12 feet tall and covered in muscles, this won't be an easy fight. The beast comes charging at you and you barely dodge in time as it moves faster than anything that size should be able to move.
  
  You don't have many options left
  
  > concentrate on the combat, it's based off a human so it has human weaknesses, hit it's eyes, nose and tendons, then see if it can fight you.
  You can't beat two of them mentally so you will have to concentrate on the fight in front of you for now. Nate is huge and clearly going to be stronger than you but you might have speed and intelligence on your side.
  
  He charges you at amazing speed and swings a punch but you are prepared, you dodge it at the last second and land a punch of your on on its side as you move around it. You had punched right through metal car doors before and know it must have hurt the thing when it let out a roar and span wildly at you.
  
  You stayed being careful though, letting it attack and only hitting on counters. Finally you see your chance and as it lunged too far you jump its punch and hit it right in the eye, feeling it pop under the impact.
  
  You watch it stagger back and follow up with a running jump to hit the other eye before it recovers, feeling it pop too. "Let's see you fight blind!" you sneer at the monster as it clutches its face and staggers back into the wall, making the whole thing shake.
  
  "Oh my! What a turn of events!" You hear blaring out. "The new entry has managed not only to avoid Nate's attacks, but he blinded him folks! Let's see those odd rolling!"
  
  You see a frenzy of activity as the humans obviously rush to place their bets on you as is only right. You are the Alpha here, not their 'Lords' or this monster and you would show all of them soon enough. You start towards Nate at a leisurely pace, it should be easy to finish off now at least.
  
  Suddenly its hands drop and it looks at you. "Oh dear folks, the new guy waited too long and Nate grew his eyes back! He's going to be mad now!" You swear as the Nate charges you, faster and clearly angrier than before, he clips you with one punch and you are sent spinning away feeling several ribs shatter into pieces. "If that was a direct hit I'd be a gonner." You think as he charges again but this time you roll under the punch and tear out his Achilles as you pass.
  
  You head the satisfying crunch as Nate smashed into the wall having lost the use of one foot and you can see he is stunned so you press the advantage and attack again, blinding it again and punching right through its flesh several times until it starts wheezing and looms like it might be a while before getting up.
  
  "And the fight is over folks! The new guy has defeated the crowd favorite, Nate the Sentinel!" You sense the monsters movements changing but instead of coming after you it slinks back against a wall near the door it came in "Everyone give a hand for our newest entrant!" you hear as the crowd goes wild.
  
  > soak up the arenas glory
  You get caught up in the praise for a second until you see the door begin to move, this might be your chance to escape so you race towards it as it opens only to see several humanoids blocking your way. You skid to a halt a few feet short as the announcer comes back on. "Oh dear me folks, he tried to make a break for it but He found Madglee and the 3J's blocking his escape, That's right folks, he faced one sentinel and now he faces two of them!" He drops his tone to a fake stage whisper "The three J's are really three people but they share one mind so they count as one right?" The crowd goes wild as the four enter and you quickly see three of them look similar to humans, just stretched out a little and identical to each other. The fourth one looked like a cross between them and the monster from before, it also looked semi-intelligent which worried you more.
  
  You back off as Nate slipped out the back of the area, already clearly healing its wounds and the four new entries move out towards you.
  
  You try and plan some tactics but suddenly they are all moving to attack. You instantly see that the 3J's are faster than you and they seem to dodge attacks they can't see, while Madglee circles you, not attacking yet.
  
  You start taking hit after hit, not hard but they are adding up and you feel bones breaking and bruises forming. You've had enough of them and suddenly charge at one, lashing out physically and mentally at the fast opponents who were dodging around you and keeping you from moving. You realize it was the wrong choice when suddenly the back of your head explodes in pain and you fly hard into the wall ahead of you.
  
  "Oh dear me folks, the 3 J's kept him locked town tight and Madglee simply waited for the right moment to end things instantly!"
  
  You barely have time to pick yourself up when the last blows fall.
