Amazon's Coliseum III (ENG)

Chapter 28: Carpenter Brut

Minerva Arena, The City

The second night had just begun; the entire audience was gathered, but now it seemed that this night would be something even more special: one of the most anticipated matches of this tournament would take place, Katyusha vs Artemis. Many were expectant about this encounter and everyone was eager to see how this mysterious Russian fighter was going to face one of the most respected veterans of Amazon's Coliseum.

Most of the girls who had already fought were gathered backstage, with certain exceptions.

-Damn, it seems I'm late -Aurora says as she arrived-. I couldn't even wish the girls good luck.

-Most of us barely got to see them. Artemis only managed to talk to Tamaki and Dragana.

-Oh, hello Dragana! Have you been here a long time?

-More or less, I went to help Armando with something.

-With what?

-Well...

...

In the stands were Diana, Viktoria and Alan; next to the Hungarian was a man with glasses, a long brown wig and a prosthetic nose that only the most knowledgeable could see.

-What I hate most about this is that I had to shave.

-Pfft... you look like Rush's vocalist, Armando.

-Very funny, Viktoria...

-Pfff... Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I was going to say that he looked like my aunt –Diana bursts out laughing.

-Just wait until I get back to the office...

-...

-Is something wrong, Alan?

-Nothing, Miss Viktoria...

-Ah, you don't want to laugh.

-Don't make it any harder.

-Would you like to remind me again whose idea this was?

...

Meanwhile, in Chocolate's office.

-So the ex-prosecutor was able to get in? –Natalia asks Chocolate-.

-I told Viktoria that he could enter unrecognized if they go to those seats over there -she points with her finger-, and if he made a few... modifications. You should have seen him! -Chocolate pulls Natalia's blazer, like a teenager who has just made a big prank-. He looked like a mix between John Lennon and Geddy Lee.

-I would kill to see that. Ha, ha!

-But at least our dear friend will be able to see the action and what happens up close.

Tavoron arrives on stage.

-Tavo! How are you?

-I ran into Dragana backstage.

-Oh, and how is the dragon princess?

-Good, in such a good mood that she told me she hasn't forgotten about that "bet".

-Oh, yes. You have to fight a round with her. I'm happy for you.

-Speak for you; she's going to tear me apart.

-I don't think so, I think deep down she likes you. Sure, not the way you'd like her to, but...

-Yeah, yeah, I know. I don't have that much of a problem with it anymore; I just hope she's okay.

-Oh, it's time. I have to start the event.

-Before you leave, I have some recordings.

-Are they too urgent?
