Rodrigo got back and walked into the house. He was greeted by Jasmine.

"Welcome back Rodrigo," she said.

"Thanks," he said happily.

He took off his ring and put it in his pocket.

"Where is everyone?" he asked.

"Toby is in the living room and the other two went for food," Jasmine said, "Stephanie is in the backyard and Naudia is taking a nap."

Rodrigo thanked her and went to the living room.

"Hey bud," Toby said, "How'd it go?"

"The Star Sapphires are in," Rodrigo said.

"Awesome," Toby said, "We just need three more."

"Cool," Rodrigo said.

He walked into the backyard to see Stephanie.

Toby sat on the couch and was playing Overwatch. His team was winning the match. Suddenly a vortex appeared above Toby and sucked him in. Then the vortex disappeared.

Toby landed in a cage.

"Hello there blondie," someone said, "Welcome to your worst nightmare."

The door opened and two guards came in. They grabbed Toby and took him to an open area.

"Where am I?" he yelled out.

A woman appeared before him.

"Your in the Arena," she said, "On planet Mars. All these cheering people are here to see you die or live."

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I am Vortex," she said, "Get ready for the fight of your life."

"It won't be that hard since I have my ri..." Toby said patting his pockets.

"Looking for this?" Vortex asked holding up his ring.

Toby tried to grab it but she pulled it away from him.

"You can get it after the match," she said.

She walked towards some guards.

"Send in the first group," she told them.

Vortex then disappeared and reappear in the stands.

"Let the fight begin!" she yelled out.

Two metal gates opened up and four people with dirty gold armor and weapons ran at him. They surrounded Toby. Toby looked at them and then at Vortex.

"This is all you got?" he asked.

"These are all the humans we got," she yelled back, "There is still more to come."

One of the men charged at him. Toby sidesteped out of the way. The man ran into the  other man behind Toby. They both fell to the ground and one dropped his sword. Toby grabbed it and stabbed both of them.

"Look," he said, "A hump shishkabob."

Another man grabbed a large rock and threw it at Toby. Toby saw it and ducked but the man behind him was hit and the rock landed on his head and killed him. Toby looked at the last man. He ran towards him and drop kicked him. He fell to the ground and Toby snapped his neck. He got up and looked at the crowd. They cheered for Toby's first win.

"No matter," Vortex said, "No one ever makes it past the second group. Send them in."

The guards opened the gates and a cyclops came out. Behind the cyclops was an ogre. They were large but Toby knew he could take them down. The cyclops charged at Toby and punched the ground but Toby dove out of the way.

"Nice try big guy," Toby said.

He ran over and pulled the sword out of the bodies. He then ran to the to k and used it as a launch pad. He stabbed the cyclops in the eye and took it down. The ogre ran and slammed down hard with its wooden clubs but there was a hole in the club and Toby entered it.

The ogre picked up it's club and looked for Toby. Vortex started to snicker. Suddenly the ogre's was separated from its body. Vortex stood up and saw Toby standing on its head.

"Send in the last fighter," she yelled out.

The guards went to open the gates but they were torn down quickly by a large, hairy, white beast with huge lower fangs, large claws and a bloodcurdling howl.

"Meet the Albino Sypnosa Beast," Vortex said, "One of the deadliest creatures in the universe."

"Not true," Toby said, "I'm the deadliest creature in the universe."

"Stop being cocky and show me that you are the deadliest creature then," she said.

The creature and Toby ran at each at full speed. As they neared, Toby slid under the best with sword held up. He cut the stomach of the Sypnosa Beast open and let it die. The crowd went wild.

"First person to defeat the arena," Vortex said, "Back to the cell for judgement."

Toby was back in his cell. He looked around and saw the keys hanging on the other side of the bars. They were on the wall across the hall. He used the sword that they left him with and pulled them off. He grabbed them and unlocked the door. He ran out but was captured by guards. They took him to Vortex.

"And to think I was going to let you live," she said, "Take him to the sun."

Toby was flown to the sun. Guards grabbed him and got ready to sent him to the sun. Toby knocked out both guards and ran to Vortex. He kicked her into a pod that closed around her. It launched into space. Toby grabbed his ring and put it on. He flew out of the ship and it flew into the sun.

"Nice try," Toby said as he flew back to Earth.
