MetalBronyATL Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Kane nodded and took a stance, preparing to spar with Oak some more. His skill with gladiator style combat had begun to greatly increase. ((Should we timeskip or is there anything else you wanted to do here?))

NamelessTrax Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 ((Nah its good.))Oak rotated his shoulders as he stretched, its been a whole month since being brought to the House of Star, his training as a gladiator had now brought him to this. The training grounds were alit with torches, a wooden platform was set in the middle with all the gladiators around it. Black watched from the balcony as Soul and Kaveck fought atop the platform, the battle was to test ones skill against another gladiator as entrance into the brotherhood.Doctore stood by watching intently, his gaze flickering from Soul and Oak.

MetalBronyATL Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Soul parried with Kaveck as they fought before everybody. His skill was a match for Soul's years of experience, and was giving him good training exercise for the coming matches. Kane stood by Oak. His month spent in the training grounds had slowly made him calmer and more level headed, which in turn was making him stronger and more skilled in the gladiator arts. He was making waves amongst Black's house as his skill and maturity increased. He looked to Oak. "Ready?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamelessTrax Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Oak nodded, "Yeah, good luck to you." Black held up his hand pausing Kaveck and Soul, "Enough, Harvester has passed the test." He declared with a nod to Doctore. Doctore nodded back then pointed to Kane and another Gladiator named Chekov, "Kane, Chekov, prepare for battle." He ordered sternly. Kaveck shook hands with Soul in a bro-hug then leaped off the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalBronyATL Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Soul got down following Kaveck and looked to Kane with a concerned yet stern look. He stopped as he passed by Kane. "Remember what you've learned. Move quickly, be patient for his attacks, rapid fire is sometimes better than heavy hits, and above all else....stay calm." Soul quickly said to him before moving on. Kane took a deep breath and gripped his sword and shield tightly before stepping forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamelessTrax Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Chekov stepped up onto the platform, "Victory is honored, Death is even more honorable, never forget that." He told Kane getting into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalBronyATL Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Kane looked back at his master a final time. Soul nodded at him with a reassuring look. Kane took a breath and turned his attention back to Chekov, taking up a fighting stance, inviting him to strike first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamelessTrax Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Chekov speared forward and at last moment spun delivering a hard kick to Kanes shield attempting to knock him off the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalBronyATL Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Kane got into a stance and braced against the kick, deflecting Chekov off of him and going on the offensive, quickly slashing at Checkov with the wooden sword in a fighting style similar to Soul's.

MetalBronyATL Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Kane braced behind the shield as he blocked the strike causing it to spring off the shield and knock Chekov's sword away. Kane then bashed Chekov with his shield before punching him to the ground. He stood waiting for Chekov to recover in a defensive stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamelessTrax Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Black clapped his hands, "Congrats Kane, you have passed by disqualification. You have earned the mark of the Brotherhood." He announced with a fake proudful tone, the other Gladiators cheered for Kane. Doctore glanced over at Oak, Black had told him face the boy himself, but in doing this he was putting his hard earned rep on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalBronyATL Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Kane looked around at the other gladiators. He had been a pain in doctore's ass this whole time and pissed others off, but now he received praised. He stepped down with the others, Soul smiling and nodded at him proudly.

NamelessTrax Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 "Your student gas learned well in these past months, you must be proud." Kaveck said bumping Souls arm. Doctore simply pointed for Oak to step up onto the plateform. Oak obeyed grabbing his sword and shield, but as he stepped up he froze seeing Doctore take two swords and step up onto the platform. Stryker shook his pitifully, "The kids done, theres no way." Oak swallowed back his fear and faced up to Doctore, standing almost like mirror images of each other.

MetalBronyATL Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Soul nodded to Kaveck. "I'd prefer a better place and a better feat to be proud of, but yes, I'm proud of him. He overcame a massive obstacle here, one I didn't think he would ever overcome." He looked back to Oak. "Now lets hope our other friend can make it through."

NamelessTrax Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 "The odds are not in his favor, why the Dominus chose Doctore as Oaks opponent is questionable." Kaveck said folding his arms. Oak took a defensive stance as Doctore stood at the ready weilding his dual swords with such calmness. The firsr strike was a quick slash across Oaks shield, follwed by a rapid volley of slashes and stabs, barely giving Oak a time to attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalBronyATL Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Soul and Kane looked on at the fight, wishing they could intervene and help Oak. "Don't back down, keep your shield up, be patient, let him tire out and then go on the attack" Soul began to talk to himself as he went over advice he would give Oak if he could.

NamelessTrax Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Oak braced against the barrage as he was being pushed back to the edge of the platform. Doctore kept up his attacks keeping a steady fast pace, his strikes seemed to be in a pattern but there was a random strike or stab hidden within that threw Oak off. Oak eventually saw his opening and spun around Doctore, but the skilled Trainer of Gladiators switched around extending his arms out and completing the Windmill formation. The first hit knocked Oaks shield high into the air, the second came right after giving Oak barely a window to get his sword in place to parry, but the force behind Doctores hit was heavy and disarmed Oak quickly. Oak backed up reaching into the air and catching his shield, he held it in place just as Doctore stabbed with both swords shattering after impact. Oak was lifted off his feet and carried off the platform, the gladitors behind ducked underneath, Oak slid on his back to a stop with his head hanging over the side of the cliff. Black clapped slowly, "Well done, all of our initiates have passed, present them with the Mark." He called out. Oak panted heavily in shock as he starred hard at the Doctore, 'That move.....' He thought hesitantly from his training days under his Mother. Two servants brought out a branding stake in the shape of a B, it lay in a barrel of hot coals.

MetalBronyATL Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Kane patted Oak on the back as Soul nodded to him respectfully. He looked to the hot, glowing brands and then to his shoulder. An old letter N branded into his shoulder long ago was faded and scarred, but still remained. "I'll gladly take a new mark so that I won't have to see this one ever again." He thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamelessTrax Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Oak gulped as Doctore went over and grabbed the branding tool, "With this mark, you are part of the Brotherhood, a bond all Gladiators under the House of Stars respect and honor. Though it is not physical, it is without a doubt, thicker than any blood relation. Now come, be apart of our Brotherhood." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalBronyATL Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Soul grit his teeth as he felt the glowing hot metal pressed against his skin. He could almost vividly remember when Nergal's doctore branded him. He almost felt like the N brand was slowly disappearing as the new, larger and more prominent brand eclipsed the old one.

NamelessTrax Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Oak grit his teeth as Doctore pressed the brander against his shoulder, "Wear it pride and honor that mark." He told Oak. "I was once told the same when I became a Beta." Oaks words caused Doctore to flinch back a slight bit, he opened his mouth to speak but instead walked over to Kane and pressed the brander onto his shoulder.

MetalBronyATL Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Kane grit his teeth as he was branded and let out a sigh when it was finished. He looked at the fresh brand and felt it. "I guess we made it." He said to himself. Soul knelt next to him. "And we'll make it home before this is all over. I'm sure of it." He said to Kane where nobody could hear with a smile.

NamelessTrax Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Black smiled evily as he watched his Gladiators congratulate the newcomers lile brothers, "Here I come Canterlot." Two weeks later.....The Crowd roared in the Colosseum as Kaveck held up the severed head of his two opponents, 5 out of the 10 last fights, only one of Blacks gladiators lost. Next up was Soul and Styrkers two on two fight, facing the Giant Brothers of House Battius. Doctore stood with Soul and Stryker as they waited at the gate, "Work together, watch eachothers backs, and dont die." Was he told them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalBronyATL Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Soul bent down and grabbed a handfull of dirt and rubbed it in his hands before gripping his sword. He looked at Stryker and nodded. "We won't die."Twilight sat uncomfortably with the other princesses watching the fights. She had to occasionally look away from the bloodshed, not because it was frightening to her, but because it saddened her that this was allowed to continue.
