COLISEUM

Chapter 1

The competitors have gathered to compete in the tournament to test their worth. Their strength, skills, and valor.

⚔

Master Yin arrived to the stadium, though it looked more like a dome. At the entrance he found a young receptionist. That wore a red and white uniform with her black hair tied in a bun.

"Welcome sir, are you to watch the tournament?" She asked.

"No, child, I came to compete." Yin replied.

"You would have to sign the form." The receptionist passed the form which was read and written in Japanese. He signed his name as 陰. "Arigato." The receptionist thanked him for his cooperation.

He and the receptionist gave each other a court bow as it is part of their custom. The yamitzu master entered into the stadium before the receptionist followed him.

Hwa Hae Ji signed up to enter the tournament.

Don't worry Joon, once I get the money, you'll get the treatment that you need.

The New Korean thief received a phone call from an unknown number. "Hello?"

"I have your brother." Hwa Hae Ji froze in fear. "If you want your brother back in one piece, you will have to do as I say. Unless you want him in pieces." The phone hung up.

No, it can't be. Nonononono.

Hae Ji sprinted to the entrance before she stood in front of a blonde receptionist, her green glinting with malice against Hwa Hae Ji's heterochromic eyes.

"Welcome to the Coliseum! My name is Patricia..." The blonde pulled a bracelet from her three coloured jacket and slapped it on Hwa Hae Ji's wrist as the bracelet tightened around the Korean thief's wrist like a handcuff as it latched unto her skin like a leech. "...and I will be making sure that no thief comes in to steal within these walls. You will be following my instructions if you want your brother returned safe and sound, unwilling to comply will result in an instant death for your brother. The same fate will also befall on you if your brother attempts to escape. Have a nice day!" Patricia allowed Hwa Hae Ji to enter after the warning.

Chris drove on his blue car, taking the quickest route to the Coliseum. "Are you sure that competing in a tournament is the best option?" His brother asked him.

"It is the only option I have at the moment."

Chris said before taking a left turn, swerving the car.

"Father already found us. He won't stop until he kills us and blows up this planet." Tony said, nearly reminding Chris of all the times they had to transport from planet to planet after their father destroyed the one they were residing at the time. They had been planet hopping since they were children, long before they managed to keep a low profile on planet Earth during the 1960s, Chris turned 200 back then, he became an adult by Venusian standards. Tony however, was just a teenager back then. Their slow aging raised questions, so they had to resort to moving from country to country and changing their identities until they settled in Australia. When Tony turned 200, he abandoned Chris to start his own life during the late 80s. Even if they were apart, at least Chris felt that he was free of his father's shadow, until now.
