More than we bargained for

Let's get the ball rolling shall we Melissa? Although I think I took too much creative liberty with the knowledge that this isn't real. XD


The air changed as Ty felt his eyes snap open, what was once the calm peaceful cabin he was sleeping in was no more, he was now apparently on an island, or, should he say a land mass, he didn't really know what he was on. His body slowly rose to his feet as he began to get his bearings and actually observe his surroundings. He saw in front of him a giant round building, one he did not recognize, but the rest of the world seemed blanketed by a thick fog, blinding Ty from the rest of the world so he could only see this building in front of him. Although the air looked cold, Ty did not feel it, the air felt warm, dry, tranquil, contrary to how it looked, which only baffled Ty even more as he observed this strange location. All he could see was the path before him to this great building, the gates gaping open like the maw of a great beast waiting to swallow him whole. Where exactly was he? Why was he here? Ty did not know, and at this point, he did not care to know how he got here. He could only think to go to the building and see if he could ask anyone there about where he was. With a soft sigh and a shrug, he plodded towards the building, and into the gaping jaws that was the gate, after all, it seemed like the only structure around, everything else was laced with fog.


However, when Ty got into the building, all he saw was a fighting ring, a ring so large and majestic it made his jaw drop slightly in amazement, the seats lined up to the sky for all he knew, he could not see many rows past the fog, but he did see many many rows of seats all lining around the area. On the ground he could see bits of blood splatter, bones, broken weapons and armor, and bullet casings. This only rose Ty's suspicion as to where he was and how he got here, which was also confirmed when he heard the large gates close behind him. He swerved and ran back to the gates, attempting to pull them open with his teeth or push them open with his body, but it was too late, they were locked shut and binded to trap him in here, this was a trap. Now he could begin to hear the roar of a crowd, but to Ty's confusion he could see nobody there on the stands, and yet there was the sound of cheering for him. He could hear their echoes throughout the arena, but his eyes must have been playing tricks on him, for he saw nobody there but himself and the flies jumping around the carcass.


Eventually Ty heard a voice, a voice that sounded like no other that he knew of, but one that echoed across the arena like it was being amplified. "Ladies and gentlemen!" The voice bellowed to the invisible screaming crowd. The voice made Ty jump and look around in confusion and panic, was he really hearing these voices? Or were these all just figments of his imagination? Although inside Ty was panicking as all hell, he had been trained to try and keep composure when faced with even the most intimidating of situations, which this sure would top any of his past experiences. He tried to remain unintimitaded or unphased by what was going on, but it was so surreal that he couldn't help but look around in a bit of anxiety.


The mystery voice continued through his confusion "Welcome to one of the greatest matches of the century! I hope you all brought some umbrellas because today it's going to RAIN blood!" The crowd then shrieked in response, to which Ty could still not see, but certainly hear. "Today, we have a match with a young but talented fighter against a monster of the battlefield! Let me introduce to you the combatants. First! Although he is young, do not underestimate this wolf! Without a childhood or a sense of decency this wolf was brought up by mercenary wolves to be a deadly weapon of destruction, making him one of the youngest contenders to enter this ring! But don't judge him by his age of one and a half years, this kiddo has at least 8 confirmed kills of other wolves under his belt! Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Ty...Trenton...NASPRIIIITEEEE!!!!!"


The crowd then cheered in response to his name being called, but all Ty could think of was how, how did this mystery voice know what his life was like? How did it know his upbringing? Why did they know so much about him? That's when he realized he was about to meet his opponent, and he could only shudder and look on in anticipation to who he was going to fight, if he was the 'young talent' they spoke of, the 'monster of combat' was going to be someone who would definitely give him a run for his money. But who would it be?


The mystery voice answered his question with dramatic flair. "And now ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you a veteran that has proved himself time and time again that he is and will always be top dog. A gargantuan of a wolf, he was raised by his similarly large father in a small Valley, but grew into the massive giant he is today. Through many fights and many different experiences this living legend has shown that size really DOES matter, even reaching the coveted rank of Sensei in the land of Crimson Dreams, a true honor in the pack, and a sign for just how good at fighting this wolf is, not that you have to be when you're the size of a bear...Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, the amazing the behemoth, the titan, Jazper...Rhiannon....KNIIIGGGGHHHHTTT!!!!"



Crimson Dreams? Ty knew of that place, it wasn't that far from Phoenix valley, and there was a powerful fighter there? Ty had no idea, but now that he would have to fight this wolf confused Ty. Amongst the shrieks, cheers, and other noises of encouragement Ty could tell that whoever Jazper was, he was the favorite of this invisible crowd. He could only look on as some of the fog cleared away, beginning to reveal his opponent.

The last thing he remembered was putting Aro and Sophia to sleep, telling them the story and snuggling into his won bed. The soft furs above and below him, surrounding him in warmth as he hugged Ghita close. Whispering their good nights and giving each other their love as they settled for the night. Now, his eyelids opened slightly, light causing him to awaken. Grumbling he sat up and tossed his legs over the side of the bed. With a yawn he stood up only to be left blinking in confusion. This wasn't his room. Where was Ghita, the pups? Looking around he began the steady climb to becoming frantic but a voice called out, calming him. Suddenly, he felt comfortable, he knew this place. He had been here in his dreams before.


The room was lined with gold, large paintings of wolves in armor clung to the walls. He walked along, looking at the wolves as he moved, they seemed so familiar, like he knew them all once upon a time. He stopped at the last on in shock. Was that his father? The large black wolf appeared to be massive compared to his opponent, a much smaller white wolf. However, as he stared more closely he realized with a new shock that this wasn't his father. No, it was not the wolf he longed to be like as a child, the warrior who believed in a sense of pride, in honor for all things living. No, this was a picture of him. Turning from the picture he looked to the far wall where a statue of a half ling wolf was looking quite fierce. Curiosity got the better of him as he moved closer to the statue and touched the armor that covered the statues neck, shoulders, back and underside. With long skinny plates overlapping down the top of his tail. It was the same Golden brown armor he had been wearing in the painting.


An urge filled up within him as he touched the metal, fake memories filling his mind. He was a champion, a warrior who had won battles in this armor for many years. The spikes lining the shoulder plates and along his spine had been covered in the blood of thieves and crooks. The voice returned, whispering 'It is time.' He began to feel dizzy, faint even. His stomach began to twist up and a lump grew in his throat. He couldn't breath. Then black....


Black.


Black.


When he awoke once more he was trapped in a small room on all fours. Shifting around he felt stiffer, heavier, and there was the clashing of metal against metal. Then Silence. His heart began to pound as a loud voice echoed in from behind a tiny crack near the floor as he realized a fight was upon him. He straightened up and rolled hes shoulders. The game was on. His own name rang into his ears as they perked forward. A small door in front of him began to open and cheers erupted into the stadium. They were cheering for him. His pride swelled in his chest as the thick fog surrounding him began to thin. His paws planted in the sand as he shifted his unsheathed claws and an arrogant smile played onto his lips. Whoever was cheering loved him and wanted a show, and a show they would get. A figure began to appear on the other side of the ring, a smaller male with hues of orange and white. Knowing he was the champion left Jazper feeling invincible. He was a giant, a black warrior, a Knight. The golden armor he had seen in his room now clung to his own figure, making the already intimidating wolf look even larger. Stepping forward he lifted his muzzle into the air and gave a mighty howl. The invisible crowds roars grew.

Ty's mouth dropped at the intimidating figure that was the wolf that was named "Jazper". The wolf stood nearly a foot taller than him, his black fur bristling under the blood stained armor he was wearing. Funnily enough, this was the first thing Ty thought to be unfair, it wasn't the fact that he was trapped in here, it wasn't the fact that he was going to fight a wolf that was bigger then him, it was the fact that his opponent got to wear the shining golden armor that suddenly made Ty's face furrow in frustration, why did this fellow get a nice shiny deflective plate of armor and he get jack squat? They might as well given him a battle axe or something to give him an even match, but this obviously wasn't an even match, in fact, it was just getting stranger by the minute. The only other visible person he could see was the giant in front of him, who howled in blood lust, and to that the crowd screamed in appeasement. the view that their favorite contender was on the warpath was a good sign that there would be carnage tonight, exactly what they wanted to see.


It was only the mystery voice that could silence the excited crowd. "Well folks, this looks like another quick but enjoyable match, now who wants to see some blood?" The voice asked, and a overwhelming chorus of people responded in cheers and shouts. "Ah, come on, you can do better then that, if you don't give me enough applause, I might not start the show!" To that, the crowd shrieked as loud as they could, beating on the seats, screaming as loud as they could at the top of their longs, crying out for death and chaos, begging to watch the two combatants kill each other. The voice then responded to their cries for a fight with enthusiasm.


"Well alright then! But first, the rules for all you newcomers to the ring. As soon as I give the signal, Ty and Jazper will attempt to rip out each other's throat for your amusement! The fight doesn't stop until one opponent stops moving, so even if your motionless opponent is having muscles spasms or breathing, stomp on their head a few more times! It'll please the crowd!" The crowd again cheered for their mere mention, but the voice went on. "Now, besides these fights themselves, everything else is entirely legal, groin shots, hidden blades, guns, whatever! As long as it's entertaining to use! So everyone put your game faces on! This battle is about to go crazy! Ready everyone? Three...two...one....FIIIIIGGGHHHHTTTT!!!!!!


With that, Ty immediately backed backed away from the larger wolf, knowing he was probably going to bullrush him with his massive weight, and that armor when used in combination with that weight could be a deadly weapon, full tackles from a wolf that size could break bones, and with the armor it was just that much more lethal. Although he knew he should try to speak diplomatically with Jazper, something excited in him about challenging such an intimidating foe. Perhaps he'd win, if he kept on his toes, maybe he'd have a chance, but that armor would be difficult to get rid of. However, he knew that he had to talk to his opponent, try and get him to calm down, maybe they could come to a draw or something. "Well hello there big guy...how did you get here? Was this voluntary? It doesn't seem like many people could force you to fight."
