As all contestants moved some areas changed as they all moved in like a maze. truly it was more for now about wit and not knowing where the enemy was. Here proves who is a predator and who is the hunted. As all contestants moved they were almost out of their respective areas as the long ticked. 2 Minutes... 4 minutes and 30 seconds... Earl Krutus watched as his smile continued to grow as the time passed soon he noticed Ben Avenor already made it into the sector section in his respective area. Quite fast indeed as he entered one could see the camera change the scenery to more of an old ancient city from Lost Terra. Old ruins of the cities can be seen Ben was ready, as he moved throughout the area.
William
William made quick work through his own area as he managed to figure out everything and moved very quick into the second center section. There he knew what was coming and waited for his opponent.
Ven
Ven moved through the jungle though it seemed he managed to figure out which way to the next area it all seemed well and fine. But as the five minutes came Ven then noticed the noise within the place changed.
"Wait... what was that?!", Ven managed to say.
On Control Center
"Wait what?!!", the head overseer for the tournament soon shouted over his communicator.
The Command Center was a blazing in panic ans all their consoles were locked out. Everything was changing and they couldn't even do anything about it. The worst outcome a bug in the system that made this happen but it was impossible they quadruple checked in the morning. As all settings changed soon on their screen and all the dread filled their eyes.
Arena Audience
"Hey folks... looks like something is going on with the system we might. Wait What!!?!!", Meno soon managed to blurt that got the entire attention of everyone.
A robotic female voice the computer soon activated that all could hear only the words which were unexpected.
'Deactivating all safety protocol measures. Locking down system. Enabling all weapons systems with live ammunition. MURDER/DEATH/KILL Mode enabled.'
With that the entire crowd completely cheered at this.
Esmeralda soon got up in shock.
"Impossible this shouldn't happen!!", Esmeralda soon shouted.
Karli completely jumped at what was heard which made her look if someone could stop this.
Everyone else
Across the Empire all what was seen something completely unexpected just occured.
Ven
Ven soon heard what was said which made him soon say, "Fuck!"
Quickly around him turrets appeared with live ammunition began targeting him with large chain guns firing rapidly with armor piercing rounds toward him. Ven moved as explosions and attacks right at his neck. Moving quickly he soon was almost out til he heard three large saws flying towards him he quickly dodged each saw which if hit would of killed him instantly with his armor on. As he quickly jumped through the next door way he managed to avoid an explosion only for a hammer to come down on him. Quickly picking up his shield Ven blocked the incoming attack.
"DIE VEN AVENOR!! DIE!!", William soon roared.
Ben
Ben was in his section only to hear what was said with dread moving quickly artillery shells fired on his position as he quickly moved to avoid the incoming attacks moving quickly he moved into the building and cut his way against saw wires trying to cut him up. Moving quickly he was trying to find a way out of this city.

"Wo, a bit close for that one. A bit too serious aren't they? Using live rounds... good thing this suit is built for actual fighting rather than decoration. Here comes another round..."
For James' area, a large amount of non-mobile, long range turrets appeared. All of them placed in areas that are hard to get to, and this is the desert, which makes it even harder to get close without getting shot at. Even while he's talking he's busy dodging dozens of armor piercing rounds that can damage his armor.
But with his experience and skills he could at least survive, and slowly get closer so he can finish them off with a kick. One after another he destroys the turrets with his punches or kicks, but more keeps appearing.

Cirenia turns slightly to Femyael and gave her a look. She promptly disappeared, soon arriving at the control center where presumably they were manipulating the maze.
"What are you doing!?" A technician shouted shocked that she had seemingly come from no where. But she simply shoved him aside.
Femyael began working on two different consoles. One hand on each keyboard, working across both with exceptional speed.
"We can't get in! Someone has locked us out!" The Technician blurted out as he stumbled to his feet.
"I don't care about that.." Femyael muttered. She was looking for something else entirely.
Meanwhile, Prince Da'ya watched with a disapproving look. This had been a contest of martial prowess. But now it was akin to a morbid game show. The sign of a decadent society in his mind.

Ben
Ben continued to make his way through the old city as he continued to fight and avoid attacks going to building by building trying to avoid the artillery attacks which not only bombarded the streets but buildings as he moved. As he was at one window an entire section of building soon have multiple holes coming through as chain guns at extremely deadly speeds shot through the build as Ben quickly tried to out run it. Using every weapon he can carry soon half of his weapons were either used up or destroyed in the process he finally managed to arrive on the other side of the city but out of breath.
"What in the world is going on...", Ben soon muttered.
Ven Versus William Knight Against Beast
The sheer force of the power hammer almost crushed Ven as he put up his shield to block the first attacks. William screaming like a lunatic he tried to smash Ven in as he quickly rolled and dodged well still on the ground. William continued this assault with no end not allowing Ven to even get up. As this continued a few turrets noted their position and begun firing a few canisters that simply landed near them in mass. They hit the ground but didn't explode but both men recognize the type of weapon, a delayed plasma based grenade.
"FUCK!!", Ven managed to say as both broke apart from each other.
An explosion rocked the area they were in leaving a crater and luckily Ven used his shield and his Repuslor thruster engines on his suit to move quickly avoid the main damage. Ven's shield was black but still could be used if only for a bit. Ven quickly took out his Lance in preparation as William charged out of the smoke with his power hammer smashing anything in its path. Dodging, and blocking then counterattacking toward William. It worked to a degree but it was strange he was acting more of a Berserker then anything which made him predictable.
'What the hell is wrong with him? He never fought like this earlier..'
William continued as he was acting more beastly like... almost he had no control over himself which was strange as his strength increased with each attack. Ven noted the turrets were firing on them against more canisters being flown as William took no head he quickly used his lance at full power and push William toward the plasma grenades. As he was push those grenades quickly landed all around him which he looked surprised. Ven smirked then says, "Got Ya."
An explosion rocked where William was and looked like it would be over with Ven the victor. Ven relax for on moment only for the hammer to be thrown at his as his shield broke and him slamming into the nearest wall with a grunt.
"What the fuck... how could he throw that thing?", Ven soon asked himself.
But what he heard made him dread for a second. A roar can be heard an inhumane roar as a large human like 'thing' came out of the smoke. It was large in fact how could such a thing be right there that looks so inhumane?!! His longer legs look like it was changing as well his body looking not only enhanced muscles but a mutation of human not looking human at all anymore.
"What in the name of the Star Child...", Ven managed to say as the large beast suddenly at impossible speeds punch him through the roof of the build he got thrown into.
"GAH!!!", Ven managed to scream out as his UI Monocle showed red alerts at the damage.
"That could easily crush anything... uhh wha!!", Ven managed to say as a large fist punch through the floor as William no the beast came up roaring.
Ven quickly tried to throw his lance in hoping pierce him which worked as it went threw throwing him into the near wall.
"Damn... what happening here... that looks not even human.", Ven managed to say thinking he killed it.
Oh how wrong he was as The Beast roared as he took out the lance smashing into pieces like a can of a drink. To his astonishment or more like to his horror the damage done by the lance rapidly healed like it was nothing and completely unscathed.
"Oh you got to be fucking kidding me!!", Ven managed to say only for the beast charged at him at full speed.
Ven quickly had to make a retreat fighting this thing like this was suicide. He has to think of a plan to stop William but the way he was moving and looked. It seemed he turned into a true beast, no longer a beast on the inside but outside as well. Ven turned tail as he quickly moved toward the nearest window only for William to catch up and punch him through it and into another wall then out of the second building landing hard on the outside of the 2nd.
"Oh damn that defiantly hurt...", Ven managed to say as he got up.
The roar was heard again Ven knew this wasn't going to be easy.

James just stood there and waited, minutes after minutes past, and finally something appeared. It's not Ven or William, so it must be the last one of the contestants, Ben.
'Hm...? Looks like that's Ben, lets see how long he'll last...'
But he didn't move just yet, he kept waiting, not moving a bit to show himself. His stealth camo would be much less effective if he moves, so he stayed in the place, and waited until Ben pass his location. Then, he moved.
Not activating his shields in order to increase the chance of a successful sneak attack, he delivers a powerful swing from behind, aiming at Ben's neck to try for a quick finishing hit.

Femyael returned to Cirenia's side. "That man is proving more useful then we'd initially thought. We're tracing the leads. I've also informed the Iron Shrikes," Femyael said calmly, her frequency scrambler activated, preventing anyone from listening in.
"Very well, no rush, I'm sure they'll blunder there way out of this scenario," Cirenia said as she continued to watch the underground death game proceed.

Ben
Ben was still on alert as he finally entered the desert section of the area though he used up many of his weapons he still had his long sword and a hatchet on his hand. On His side a large semi automatic rail crossbow and a few daggers. As he was walking suddenly an attack came. Being still prepared quickly duck under from James attack and countered with his hatchet on his left hand.
"Fuck I wanted to fight my cousin.... but I guess you will do just as good. I always wanted to see the big deal you were. Able to take and fight evenly with the heir of the Way of the Blazing Rose is quite a feat.", Ben commented as he was ready for battle.
Ven
"Oh shit!!", Ven screamed out as William came jumping to punch him who was still on the ground.'
Using the repuslor thrusters he quickly dodged by jumping out of the way only to see a massive crater extremely big that could take out a city block was seen.
"That could of killed me..", Ven commented, as he took out his Yari out and prepared to fight.
The roar was soon heard as William came out without a scratch as more turrets fired in their area.
"Well lets see how much you can fight multiple lethal wounds!", Ven soon shouted as he engaged William.
The fighting was intense as Ven used all his skills to dodge every attack and countered with his Yari. It looks like a giant monster versus an Knight of old in myth and legend. Ven continuously kept this up for a while as 4 minutes passed as he dodged and avoided. Sadly right when he missteps thanks to the turrets he was hit again with his Yari being broken and him going threw a couple of walls with a large bar going through his right shoulder.
"GAH!!!", Ven screamed out in pain as blood came out his own power armor looking more beaten then before.
On his UI Monocle showed alerts all over and even some errors with his armor heavily damaged.
"Damn it... this guy doesn't quit...", Ven mutters as he spit out blood as using a quick temporary first aide to stop the bleeding as he quickly tried to avoid William for a moment.
"There has to be a weakness... think Ven think!", Ven muttered.

The counterattack was easily blocked by James' left gauntlet, and he quickly jump to the side, keeping as close as possible to prevent Ben from using ranged weapons. To prepare for both attack and defense, he activates the shields on his gauntlets.
"Got lots of things to say there kid, lets see if your limbs move as fast as your mouth."
Now he switch to many light jabs, though to him it's a light hit, to everyone else it'll still be a decent blow now that he activated the shields. If you look carefully, you'll see that his arms are moving in a rhythm, in a way so the force of each blow wouldn't go to waste, and be used for the second hit. But that's not all, by passing the force to the other arm, the resting arm would be able to prepare to block any incoming attacks.

Ben
Ben quickly used both his weapons to deflect the incoming assault he was slow though didn't waste movements at all. Sadly without his shield he cannot use his Way of the Shelled Pedal properly but was good enough. He countered and noticed his blade on his long sword and hatchet grew more strained after each of his own counterattacks and parrys.
"Oh I had a suspicion... I see what you have... using shield emitters as a weapon, surprisingly that is not that too different from the Way of the Shelled Pedal.", Ben noticed.
Quickly he threw his Hatchet very quickly and jumped back to take out his automatic rail crossbow.
"Let's see if this near close range can pierce through that shield.", Ben soon said.
He soon fired his crossbow at high speeds as they rapidly came out towards James.
Ven
As Ven's first aide closed his wound for only a moment he finally had an idea but suddenly William came through the walls roaring trying to smash him at his spot which Ven quickly high jumped to avoid it. Moving jump after jump William crushed each area he jumped at barely avoiding each attack only for the last one to hit him smashing him out of the build and into the open again.
"GAH!! I am not sure how long I can last like this.", Ven soon muttered as he got up this time putting his new plan into action.
As William landed in front of him Ven suit activated his two Pulse Maser's on his forearms.
"Switching repulor engine power to weapon systems. Take this!!", Ven soon shouted as began firing towards William.
The force of his attacked pushed him back bit by bit as they continued to go through William as parts vaporized then regenerated rapidly. He continued doing this til he heard the clanging down from the Cannister turrets again.
"Got ya.", Ven soon said with a smirk as all the canisters landed around william as he did this.
A Roar was heard then a giant explosion rocked the area. Ven waited to see as the dust settled hoping that was enough.
"ROAR!!", William soon screamed out as he charged toward Ven again.
"Well that didn't work...", Ven soon said taking out his Katana ready for the next round.

James knew there's not much choices that Ben can choose from, there's a reason why he stayed hidden instead of wandering around, why is why his own equipments didn't receive too much damage from earlier attacks.
"Probably, but looks like you're the same, or even worse than Ven..."
He 'dis-activated' the shield on his right gauntlet, and point it towards the coming bolt, and Ben. The bolt was fast, but not fast enough, a concentrated shot of energy blast flies towards the coming bolt and Ben. The shield didn't come back on after the shot is fired, looks like it'll drain quite some energy used for the shield, and takes time to recover.

Ben
Ben was surprised at the energy attack as his bolts were destroy with him moving to the left. But due to the sand his movement was somewhat impaired and the attack hit part of his shoulder grazing him.
"Oh... something new.", Ben soon said in pain as his pain killers took effect.
Dropping his Crossbow which used up all its ammo he quickly with his long sword took this right moment. As well taking out his battle dagger he to moved towards James with his Long sword to strike with an downward slash.
Ven
Ven prepared his katana and continuing fighting William as the attacks were almost useless as each cut only were healed as soon as it was cut.
"This guy doesn't stop!! Wha-", Ven managed to say only for a fist to hit his katana as it was thrown from his hand as William punched him into the ground with blood out of his mouth got coughed up.
Ven had no time even as alarm sounds on his UI Visor showed that the damage was extreme even feeling a few broken bones and his rib cage cracked. Quickly he tried to activate his Pulse Masers on his forearms for them to get crushed as William picked him up in an attempt to crush Ven. The Armor itself struggle as parts of it were beginning to crack as he was being crushed by the two hands trying to turn him into a meatball.
Using his Repuslor engines he only held up for over a minute and he quickly had to think of a way to get out. Screams of pain from Ven can he heard as it looked like Ven is able to die.
Esmeralda
Esmeralda saw what was happening as the blood lust of the audience were cheering at what they were seeing. Ben and James were fighting as if it was a arena but Ven on the other hand was fighting a monster. As Ven was slowly being crushed she felt sick to her stomach she may have done dirty things and things she was not proud of she killing them was always off the table.
"My Lady we need something some way to stop this!!", Felicia said worriedly which surprised her.
'She grew fond of the man? Or something else entirely?'
"We can't do anything but watch...", was Esmeralda's response but she looked pale at this battle.

"What's wrong? Even when I'm not using weapons you're having quite a bit of trouble it seems? Perhaps you should just drop your weapons and go home, that way you won't have to die fighting me on the battlefield. With your ability, you'll die in the first few battles, I've seen pirates that fought better than you!"
A single downward slash was easy enough to dodge, James just turns and easily dodge the attack without taking more than a single step. Of course, there's a bit of danger in dodging this way, but that could be solved by moving on his own. His arm sudden shoots forward as he punches forward along the long sword, and towards Ben's face.
"Slow, weak, and frail!!"
His left arm waits by his side, but pointed towards Ben. Not only does it act as a safeguard in case Ben does anything special, but it'll force him to split some of his attention towards it, even if James don't do anything for now.

Ben
Ben reacted the best as he could he was always an defensive type in his skill only using to counter which is why his shield was paramount to have. Without it his entire skill doesn't work well. As James fist coming in he had a natural reaction without thinking to block it with his dagger to stop it. It is until he saw James second arm to his side that he realized his mistake.
'Damn... I fell for his trap!!'
He only managed to mutter, "Fuck."
It the word James would need to know that his opponent realized his own mistake and his own loss.
Ven
As the crushing down of Ven continue to he heard and more pain Ven could feel he finally figured it out.
'He is a monster but a human still and one weakness in humans is always been..!!'
"Switching Pulse Maser system into alternate weapon. Deactivate Mode 1 and switch to mode 2?", Ven said in a strained voice to the computer in his armor.
Suddenly a robotic voice soon says, 'Mode One disabled and Mode 2 Microwave Beam activated.'
Just then Ven managed to main his palms towards William's head and the pulse microwave beam fired out at his head. A large roar and a scream at once can be heard as the beam slowly but surely melted the skin off then down to the eyes bursting, then the muscles were next. Then his own skull can be seen by all deformed, which then revealed his brains as he began to melt and soon was vaporized. The moment was quick as Ven's own power armor ran out of most of its power.
The headless body of William fell to the ground with Ven barely managing to stand and walk away very slowly. He looked dazed and the light in the area was too bright. He looked around til he felt the pain, and couldn't move as he fell to the ground as darkness took him.

"And not to mention, stupid too!"
The punch that James was sending towards Ben opens up, and pulls Ben towards him by the shoulder. Then the left hand, punches at Ben's torso, and fires the readied energy blast at blank range. But that's not all, he takes a step forward with his right arm back into a fist, and delivers a second thrust punch. And finally, ending it with a heavy kick from the sides.
"Now if you have a bit of brain inside that thick skull of yours, you'd stay down..."

Ben
Ben's world soon went blank as the attack went straight through his torso as he felt blood came rushing out. To all watching it looked like a killing blow, seemed both Avenors just died. As Ben was falling the last thing he remembered was the words 'Now if you have a bit of brain inside that thick skull of yours, you'd stay down...' Soon darkness took him leaving only nothingless.
Control Room
"Sir the system just unlocked!", one of the men soon shouted.
"Quickly get a med team in there right now!!", Marak Booth shouted.
Karli
"No... this... this... can't be happening!!", Karli only managed to say at the result.
Esmeralda
Both Felicia and Esmeralda were stunned at that moment as the entire audience were cheering at the result.
"Barbaric fools!!", Esmeralda managed to say only to leave her spot with Felicia quickly moving to another part of the Arena which the entire scene made her sick top her stomach.
Lurescia
"Ven... Ben!!", Lurescia only managed to say as she quickly took out her phone to try to call Aurlia.
Aurlia
"Brother!! Cous! NO!!", Kaitlin soon screamed out.
"Damn it to hell!!", Jin said as he was about to leave the room out to try to get a ship toward Echelon.
Lin his father quickly stopped him yelling, "Jin do not go if you go in rage you will only make things worse!!"
"But father they killed two of us now its three!! Someone needs to pay and with blood is the only way!!", Jin yelled out.
"That maybe son but you must be logical. Revenge only works if you plan it all ahead!!", Lin soon said to turn to see his brother as he didn't even make a move or reaction.
Ken's face looked void of emotion but Lin knew his brother as he known all these years just the same face he gave as their elder brother died and their nephew. A face of calculating coldness, a face of a true monster.
