Rani landed hard. She stood up, and couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing.

She was obviously in a deep hole

She was obviously in a deep hole. She put her paw over her nose. The scent of dead animals lingered in the air.

She walked around, trying to see if there was an escape route. Rani tripped. She quickly stood up, and realized she had tripped over Godzilla's tail. Thankfully, he was dead.

Rani continued walking. Her eyes got used to the darkness, and she could kind of see.

Rani gagged when she saw dead animal carcasses everywhere. She had to resist the urge to not throw up.

Rani noticed that above each animal, or carcass, was a painting. She walked over to a fox, and touched the painting above his head. The painting moved, and showed how the fox had died. This Fox had died from a poisonous snake.

Rani kept walking. She sighed when she saw Nirmala's body.

She couldn't bear to look at her

She couldn't bear to look at her. Rani walked forward.

As Rani went further, the smell of death just got stronger. Rani felt like she might die from the smell.

Then, Rani froze. She stared at two lions, laying against a stone wall.

Rani couldn't believe it, "M-Mom...D-Dad!" She ran up to them. Their bodies were Ice cold to the touch. Rani knew they had been dead for a while. Then, she saw the dreadful painting above them.

Rani didn't know if she wanted to watch how her parents died. She touched the painting anyway.

Rani's parents were held by their scruff by an eagle. Rani recognized him as Prometheus. He was holding them above water. Rani thought he was going to drown them, but instead, a huge whale looking thing, but it was much, much bigger than a whale, jumped out of the water, and swallowed her parents whole.

Rani was confused though. If her parents were swallowed, how were their bodies here? She kept watching.

Rani recognized Aytaç. He swam down into the water, and opened the "whales" mouth. He pulled out her parents. They both were bleeding heavily, and her mom lost a leg. Rani then noticed her mother's right forearm was gone.

Rani realized. The deaths of the animals, were prizes, or rewards. That's why you can't eat your opponent. They want to keep the dead bodies down here.

Something on the painting caught Rani's eye. It was Baliyo. And he was fighting against the same thing that her parents died from. Rani's eye's widened, "BALIYO!"

Baliyo was unchained and walked out into the arena. He was still mourning his sisters death.

Csongor placed Baliyo at the very end of the arena

Csongor placed Baliyo at the very end of the arena. Baliyo was confused, but stayed put.

Kaz stood on her ice ledge, "Who wants to see a real fight!"

The animals roared.

Kaz smirked, "We'll then. Aytaç! Open the tank!"

"Tank?" Kion turned to Kovu. He shrugged. Seth's eyes widened. "What is it Seth?" Zuri asked as she walked up to him.

"N-No..." Seth mumbled.

"WHAT!" Kion shouted. The cages dropped over the entrance of the caves.

Aytaç did his howl-roar, and the ground opened up, but not where Baliyo was standing. Water was exposed.

"Is he seriously fighting water?" Tiifu asked. "I don't think so," Surak replied.

Baliyo was just inches away from the open water.

Kaz smirked and roared, "Baliyo! Vs! The Mosasaurous!"

Baliyo's eyes widened when he saw a huge whale like thing jump out of the water. It splashed right back in.

"I can't win!" Baliyo shouted.
