"Fear not, for you are found. You are home, and there is no going
back. No one leaves this place." I open my eyes as I hear a voice. I struggle against my restraints as I see pictures all around me. "But what is this place? The answer is Sakaar. Surrounded by cosmic gateways, Sakaar lives on the edge of the known and unknown. It is the collection point for all lost and unloved things. Like you. But here on Sakaar, you are significant. You are valuable. Here, you are loved."

"What...the hell?" I look around.

"And no one loves you more than the Grandmaster." I then see images of the Grandmaster, in silhouette, arriving on Sakaar. "He is the original. The first lost, and the first found. The creator of Sakaar and the father of the Contest of Champions." I see Images of the arena where aliens battle to the death. "Where once you were nothing, now you are something. You are the property of the Grandmaster. Congratulations! You will meet the Grandmaster in five seconds." Images around the tunnel begin speeding up. Chaos, violence, and confusion mixed in with Grandmaster's face. "Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. You are now meeting the
Grandmaster."

I look up again to see I was in a different room. I look beside me as Thor starts screaming, he opens his eyes and looks around us as he panics. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I roll my eyes, looking back at the man in front of us.

"She's wonderful." He smiles at me. "It is a she?" He asks the woman beside him.

"It's a she."

"Yeah. I love when you come to visit 142, you bring me the best stuff." He turns to the second woman. "Whenever we get to talking, Topaz, about Scrapper 142...what do I always say? She is the... and it starts with a B."

"Trash." The woman Topaz says.

"No, not trash. Were you waiting just to call her that? It doesn't start with a B."

"Booze hag." Topaz says.

"I'm so sorry. No, best. I was thinking about best. Because I always say you're the best. She brought me my precious beloved Champion, you know."

"You say that every time she's here." Topaz rolls her eyes.

"What have you brought today? Tell me."

"A contender. And a prize." The woman points.

"A what?" Thor and I say at the same time.

"I need to go closer. I want a closer look at this. Can you take
us closer? Thank you." He steps up next to me and looks at my face closely. He then softly slides his hand down my cheek. "She's gorgeous, she will be a perfect citizen and model. My prized model. I have someone who will watch over you, you both are perfect." He smiles.

"I'm not a damn prize!" I yell.

"Ooo she's fierce. I love her. I want her." He moves over to Thor and examines him. "Perfect...Pay this lady."

"Just wait a damn minute. We're not for sale." Thor says angrily.
Using all his might, Thor breaks out of his shackles, but the woman who brought us here zaps him.

"Man. He is a fighter."

"I'd take 10 million." She nods.

"Tell her she's dreaming." Topaz scoffs.

"For heaven's sake, transfer the units."

"You'll pay for this!" Thor hisses as she goes to pass us.

"No, I got paid for this."

My eyes widen as I see my sword, "Hey! That's my sword! Give that back!" I yell.
