Arthur was teleported into the clash zone and the first thing he thought was 'Cold!Cold!Cold!'. How could the Diamond's live in this area.He guessed they had grown accustomed to it.He made an aura shield that enveloped his skin and trapped the heat inside.It also protected him from attacks.This was gonna cost a lot of aura tho.He knew the other's didn't have to bother with a shield.
He knew Argia's thick ogre skin will act like a natural anti-cold coat.
As an android Diamondhead wouldn't be affected by the cold.
And Terminus was practically a walking nuclear reactor.He would probably be burning up the entire area around him.The match had hardly begun and he was already at a disadvantage.Not to mention the others were not human.His humanity was also a physical weakness.
Back at home he was the Royal Ten.Captain of the navy.He would use his gravity controlling ability to sink ships with a stretch of his hand and sail to the survivors cockily offering them a ride.But here he was the underdog the least likely to win.but he wasn't gonna give up.
Getting the prize money would be great but his main goal was stopping Terminus from winning.Thankfully since Hearts and Spades weren't directly connected he never had to meet him in battle.Still he couldn't let him get the money.He had heard gruesome tales of how he fought ths other warlords.A trigger happy maniac.No way was him getting a trillion bronze coins would lead to a better world.There was also the matter of the grand prize.He needed to.get as much points as he could to get the wish.
Well he couldn't get the points waiting around here.But the problem was he had no idea what to do.All the other's were dropped at random locations.He didn't know how to find them.
"He stared at the expanse of snowy mountain peak."Where to start?" He said outloud.
"I have a few good ideas." a voice said behind him.
Arthur turned quickly to see Diamondhead sitting on a rock behind him.How long has he been there?
"How did you find me so quickly" he asked.
"I saw you from that mountain over to the left and jumped to land here." Diamondhead said matter of factly."Huh?" Arthur said confused.With the heavy snowfall it was almost impossible to see two steps infront of you let alone from that far away.
"I've got heat detectors in my eye lenses.You gave the least heat signature." the android explained.
"Ah,of course you do." Arthur said."So do we like...fight now" he added raising his fists.Well one regular fist and another golden one.He wasn't sure what Diamondhead's game was.Coming here and talking so casually instead of launching a surprise attack.
"How about we don't?" offered Diamondhead.
"But this is a last man standing wins match?" Arthur said confused."Yes but there are 4 contestants here."Diamondhead replied."Each man fighting on his own will be a chaotic mess.Dangerously unpredictable.I propose an alliances.Afterall Diamonds and Hearts were allies in the last Great War.We were the Red faction.Spades is our common enemy here.We shouldn't let him get the prize.Let's work together to stop him end the major threat and then we can fight eachother good-naturedly.I mean without me you can't even find the others.And Terminus is one tough opponent to take down.His body regenerates and makes weapons.Plus he has an aura generator akin to a nuclear reactor.But I know his weakness You need me."
Arthur hesitated this seemed like a sweet deal.But it also seemed too good to be true.Should he trust the Diamond guy.He thought for a second and decided to just go with the flow.That's the best way to sail he had learned on his voyages.Besides Diamondhead was an android.Robots can't lie he deduced.
